I am not, in any way, shape or form, a fan of Katy Perry's music. I find her to be a dull and uninspired. And please don't get me started on Kesha.
That said, it annoys me to say that I really love this song. The Floria Sigismondi-directed clip is visually stunning and has to be one of her best videos to date. Considering the fact that the song just hit number one on the Billboard charts this week (the fourth one of her album to do so) and the video just came out, I expect this single to be huge for her. Kudos.

Rihanna Covers "Rollingstone"
That Rihanna reign just won't let up. Superb.
HQ version and interview will be posted as soon as it's available.
In other Rihanna news, it has been confirmed that California King Bed (Take a Bow/Hate That I Love You/Firebomb Part 2) will be the next single off her Loud album. Eh, bad choice. I personally would've preferred Cheers or Man Down (especially since summer is right around the corner) but apparently California King Bed was the fan favorite.

"The Borgias" Premires Next Week
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj29Py41fEE&feature=player_embedded
April 3rd (this Sunday) is right around the corner! Given Showtime's excellent (Dexter, The Tudors, Nurse Jackie, Californication and etc.) history of producing quality TV series, this upcoming historic drama should be no different. Check out this interesting review from LA Times here, as well as Entertainment Weekly's opinion of the show and its competition (Starz's Camelot and HBO's Game of Thrones, here.
Off topic, but did anyone watch the third season premiere of Nurse Jackie? I missed it.

Season 3 Trailer of "Nurse Jackie"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6QJ70HkKBpY
Showtime is on a roll with its quality drama series. They have Dexter, Nurse Jackie, The Big C, United States of Tara, Weeds, Californication and most recently, Shameless. The trailer for the third season of Nurse Jackie looks really good. The season three premiere of Nurse Jackie will air on March 28th.

"X-Men First Class" Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrbHykKUfTM&feature=player_embedded
Following the success (and criticisms) of director Bryan Singer's three previous X-men films, this Matthew Vaughn-directed-X-men-prequel, which is scheduled for release on June 3rd, focuses on the beginning of the X-men saga, long before the world knew their true identities. Judging by what I've seen from the minute-long trailer, I am extremely anxious to see what the final outcome will be. Anyone who knows me knows that I am the biggest X-men fanboy, so when I heard that this film was in production, though a part of me was worried (of how inaccurate or low quality it would be), another part of me was rather excited and eager to see what this new director (and cast) would do with the incredibly rich and interesting saga that is X-men. Though it's too early to tell, and way too little to go by, I have to admit that I am more interested now than ever before. Bring it on.

Cover of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" Single
This is the cover of her upcoming Born This Way single (not the album). It was shot by photographer Nick Knight, which isn't surprising as the image is straight up his ally..
The photo is great and while nowhere near as creative or groundbreaking as Nick Knight's previous works, it is interesting in the sense that it is a sneak peek of what this much hyped and highly anticipated new era of Lady Gaga is going to look like.
The single is scheduled to premiere this Friday.

Rihanna's "S&M" Video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdS6HFQ_LUc&feature=player_embedded
Fucking epic. Melina and Rihanna have done it again (see Hard, Rudeboy, Rockstar 101). There are so many things that are fascinating about this video. For one, it's very David LaChapelle-ish, which is one of my favorite photographers:
NSFW..
Two; Perez Hilton as Rihanna's bitch. Wait, those were her words, not mine.
.. and three, it's full of everything Rihanna has become a pro at selling; sex, vivid imagery and attitude. The song itself, while a bit on the generic side (production wise), is sure to be another number one hit for her and will become another one of her many club anthems, right up there with Only Girl, Don't Stop The Music and Disturbia. I love this video so much that I would rank it as one of her best videos ever, definitely top five (along with, in no particular order; Hard, Rudeboy, Rockstar 101, Russian Roulette and Disturbia). While Loud might not be as great of an album as Rated R was, Rihanna is proving that it doesn't have to be. Sans Rudeboy, the singles off Loud are doing more than anything from Rated R ever did. Goes to show that while this might not necessarily be her best material, she is definitely giving us her best effort.
Its been a good month. Both my girls, Rihanna and P!nk, have delivered videos that have not only exceeded my expectations, but blew the rest of their contemporaries out the water. This my friends, is how a hot video is done. Cheers.
