Beyonce glows in a pre-baby bump video for 'Dance For You." The new video channels the dark brooding tone of film noir - those black and white, seductive crime movies. But don't expect a narrative to unfold... it pretty much gets right down to business... and in this case, the business is dancing!
Justin Bieber is known for making tween girls crazy. So Macy's turned things upside down, featuring Bieber in a commercial where the teen hearthrob drives the male employees wild, causing them to scream like girls.
In the short film "Address Is Approximate," brilliant artist and director Tom Jenkins takes you on an extraordinary journey: “A lonely desk toy longs for escape from the dark confines of the office, so he takes a cross country road trip to the Pacific Coast in the only way he can – using a toy car and Google Maps Street View.â€ÂÂ
Pop singers are no strangers to product placements. Everyone from Lady Gaga to Britney Spears have littered their music videos with brand names to help offset the costs. But Jennifer Lopez's performance at the AMA's Sunday night broke new, unfortunate ground...

Whether or not you watch Glee, you should check out this standout medley from Tuesday night's show. Two of the show's emerging breakouts performed a mashup of Adele's Rumour Has It and Someone Like You with both emotional depth and powerful vocals. It soared to the top of the iTunes chart within a day after it aired.
Only a few months ago, a handwritten letter written by Paul McCartney was found at a Liverpool yard sale, folded up in a book. Now, that letter has sold at Christie's for an estimated $55,000.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not out to ruin aspiring pop star Rebecca Black's day. But her new single is unsurprisingly awful, and not in a funny, viral way. Then there's the video. Why do producers mistakenly believe we want our music videos to feature young people having fun in go-karts? Did we learn nothing from Avril Lavigne?
In a merging of two cultures, seniors citizens gleefully sing Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" in Chinese, complete with choreography. From a dollhouse looking set, for some reason.
