Kanye West - "Coldest Winter" Video

If his latest video isn't a sign of the depths of his despair, I don't know what is. Kanye West released yet another epic video on Monday from his 808s & Heartbreak album, teaming up again with director Nabil Elderkin ("Paranoid" featuring Rihanna, "Welcome to Heartbreak"). Its pretty dark, but artistic and beautiful. Take a look.

The PERFECT Date


Women all over Manhattan are slapping themselves in the head and proclaiming, "Doh! I should've thought of that!".

Introducing How About We..., a new internet dating site that gets right down to it. Create an ideal date, post it, and the men come running! Well, maybe not exactly, but men that find you and your date idea interesting will. "...drink wine and see who can make the other laugh first", "...find the highest point in Central Park, ...", "...Sunday afternoon, take a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge" are just a few ideas, but the possibilites are endless! The website encourages you to "Invent cool dates, ask each other out, and do something awesome-together". What could go wrong, right? (Don't answer that.)

Club Kid Fashion 2010

Saw these pretty incredible fashions featured in yesterday's Style Section of The New York Times. The shots were inspired by club kids of the 1980s that strutted the streets of Manhattan in whacky, avant garde outfits. Here we see them with a modern touch. Featured are designs form top designers, as well as home made creations, everything from Versace to Alexander McQueen to vintage. They look like they jumped right out of Lady Gaga's tour look book!

NEW GAGA! 'Telephone' Video Stills

OM-GAGA! Here are a few stills from Lady Gaga's highly anticipated video for 'Telephone' featuring Beyonce. Loving the Wonder Woman/Bruce Springsteen stars and stripes outfit! Lord only knows what the theme is here. So far we have a diner, super heroes, and feathers? But what's not to love? It's already better than the "Video Phone" video (and song)! Yawn.

Fall Out Boy on a Serious "Break"



The fat lady has sung ladies and gentlemen.Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz explained the current state of his pop-emo-punk band yesterday in a statement on his blog. The band members are apparently not on the same page. He goes on to say that "I cant predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again." GASP! My high school heart just shattered.

Another blog post made today reveals a picture of a youthful FOB from the good ol' days of touring, shown above. Poor Wentz seems pretty nostalgic. Looks as though the golden days of eye liner and flat irons are long gone, ultimately replaced by babies, wives, and bad attitudes.

He adds through Twitter, "I want today to be over right now. Theres nothing like applying 14 yr old emotions to 30 year old logic. Its a tragically angst-y ending."


And sometimes bands just grow apart...
