can she just release a covers album?
at almost every stop on her "speak now" tour, taylor swift has covered a song by a famous musician who calls the city she's in home. sometimes, she even gets the person she's honoring on stage with her- like she did in austin, tx with shawn colvin. the somewhat forgotten folk artist joined t. swift to perform "sunny came home." this is the kind of music taylor needs to work on for her next release, right? right. check out the performance above.

bieber's ready for christmas
it's not even november yet, but the music community is ready for christmas. everyone from michael buble to zooey deschanel is releasing a christmas album this year, but the biggest name- and sure-to-be biggest seller of the season- has to be mr. justin bieber. the bieb's leaked a few tracks off his upcoming ep, under the mistletoe, set to be released nov. 1. check out the music video for "mistletoe," alongside collaborations with mariah carey, boyz ii men and usher, below.
side note: the bieb's management said his "balls have dropped, vocally." really. i'm not making that up. also, who decides to keep casting girls who are so much taller and look so much older than justin in his videos? selena wasn't available?

the lorax returns!
dr. seuss's eco-infotainment story finally makes it to the big screen. check out the trailer for the lorax, above. no lie, probably going to see this one.
beyonce's "party"
the full-length version of beyonce's video for "party" finally hit the web. b swaps out andre 3000 for j. cole on this version of the track. the video's really just an excuse for beyonce to dabble with as many trashy looks as she can.

music review: kelly clarkson, coldplay
two of my favorites- kelly clarkson and coldplay, dropped new albums this week. on the same day. so, basically, i'm having an eargasm right now and think you should, too. here are my top picks from their latests-
kelly clarkson, stronger
clarkson's finally finds a balance between the four different sides she has shown on her four previous releases. stronger mixes the r&b of thankful, the pop power of breakway, the rocker edge of my december and energy of all i ever wanted. the title track, "what doesn't kill you (stronger)," is the stand-out- it's got a catchy chorus, builds on the beat and you'll find yourself singing along before your first listen's even done.
"you can't win" is another solid single, the most reminiscent of breakaway. it's the rockier cousin of katy perry's "firework."
and clarkson dabbles in country pop with "einstein," a bitter bye-bye anthem, similar to beyonce's "irreplacable."
stronger may be my second favorite clarkson ep after breakway- let's be honest, nothing's ever topping that.
coldplay, mylo xyoloto
coldplay continues to experiment with its sound on mylo xyoloto. with few radio friendly tracks, this is definitely a record for the fans. it's sound falls somewhere between smash hit viva la vida and launching pad x & y. the best track is the band's collaboration with rihanna, "princess of china." the song's catchy on its own, but adding rihanna makes it that much more commercial.
the album's lead single is also a must-listen. you can't help but feel like you're in a 90s movie montage when you listen to it. and who doesn't want to be in a 90s movie montage?
and the track reminding me the most of colplay's early efforts has to be "charlie brown," a get-up-and-dance-by-yourself jam.
definitely check out both artists' latest- i don't think you'll be disappointed. and don't miss kelly when she performs as part of vh1's divas celebrate soul on december 19.

oh, simone
so about two seconds after getting the boot from x factor, simone battle snatched up a mic and plugged her first single, "he likes boys." naturally, i went searching for the music video (above). while simone can't sing live to save her life, she does have pop star potential. the song is pretty crappy, but still stuck in my head somehow. and she recreated a scene from clueless for the music video, so there's that.

beyonce's ready to "party"
pre-prego beyonce sure did film a lot of music videos. or she's not really pregnant and wearing a prosthetic. either, or- i'm glad we're getting a video for pretty much every song on 4. check out this sneak peek of b's latest, "party" - look out for cameos by sister solange and kelly former bandmate kelly rowland. can "schoolin' life" be up next? please.

reese witherspoon in "war" with chelsea handler
the trailer for reese witherspoon's romcom comeback, this means war, hit the interwebs this week. witherspoon stars alongside star trek star chris pine and british badass of the moment tom hardy, two secret operatives who discover they're dating the same woman. naturally, hilarity ensues. the reason i'm looking forward to this flick is for reese's bff- chelsea handler. the funny lady plays wingman to witherspoon. hopefully all her one-liners aren't wasted in the trailer.

rihanna "found love in a crowded place"
rihanna released the official video for her latest single, "we found love in a crowded place," and wow. it's like an acid trip of gifs. plus there's the whole "doesn't the guy in this video look like chris brown when he died his hair blonde?" thing. weird video aside, it's the catchiest song riri's dropped since "umbrella."

it's back!
diablo cody's genius talk show in an airstream, red band trailer, returns to the internets for a second season! the show made the move from youtube to the lexus-backed "l series" video site ... aka, lexus is paying for this now. and i couldn't figure out how to embed it so you can click here to watch the premiere of season two with john krasinski.

what i love (this week)
the song
this mash-up is insane- katy perry, robyn, whitney houston, ke$ha ... the list goes on. enjoy the eargasm.
the show
add suburgatory to my favorite new fall comedies list, including new girl, 2 broke girls and up all night. it's like they found the tv movie version of emma stone to star in this mean girls-meets-juno series.
the look
this couple is ridiculous. and she writes a food blog. a model who eats.
