Egg-Pelting Hooligan Attacks Beyonce's Trailer Park Video Set

Maureen O'Connor · 08/04/11 02:46PM

Literally breaking: A "rowdy 23-year-old" snuck onto the set of Beyonce's music video set in a trailer park and screamed, "I can be a better dancer!" then threw an egg at a cop. So, the trespasser was either a wannabe backup dancer who just happened to have a raw egg in his pocket (comes in handy for spontaneous souffle-offs) or someone who is a better dancer than Beyonce. Baryshnikov, maybe.

Beyonce Strips Down for 'Best Thing I Never Had' Music Video

Matt Cherette · 07/07/11 10:36PM

Here's the brand new music video for Beyonce's latest single, "Best Thing I Never Had." A stark contrast from her over-the-top video for "Run The World (Girls)," the new effort features a lingerie-clad Beyonce on her wedding day congratulating herself for the decision to dump her cheating ex, thereby making room for her new husband-to-be. She's pretty, she sounds great, and she's marrying the man of her dreams. How bad can that be?

James Franco's First Music Video Is as Ridiculous as You Imagined

Brian Moylan · 06/29/11 11:14AM

James Franco is like that pretentious guy in your freshman dorm that you talk to because he's hot, and he's always going on about acting and writing short stories and all his other artistic pursuits even though he's not particularly good at any of them. And of course he's in a band, too. Of course.

Matt Cherette · 06/22/11 03:18AM

Here's the music video for Britney Spears' new single, "I Wanna Go," which also happens to be the song that Bravo chose to use in its summer promos. In the video, Spears curses out reporters at a press conference before escaping. She's then followed around by cyborg paparazzi and tries to kill them with a swinging microphone before escaping, again, and dancing around a convertible in a polka dot bikini top. Fun! Or something.

This Is the Worst Music Video We've Seen All Week

Matt Cherette · 06/03/11 03:16AM

At the beginning of the music video for her new single, "I Don't Wanna Be a Crappy Housewife," Norwegian "recording artist" Tonje Langeteig laments, "Hi, my name is Tonje. I'm a little pretty girl trapped inside a grownup's body." That's pretty much when things go the Rebecca Black route—and fast. There's even an inexplicable rap solo. Enjoy! [via WOW]

Here's Beyonce's Over-The-Top New Music Video

Matt Cherette · 05/18/11 09:21PM

Here's the brand new music video for Beyonce's "Run The World (Girls)." It has all the makings of a great Beyonce video—lots of sexy outfits and booty shaking, for example—but ultimately falls victim to a "more is better!" mindset. Because, come on, do we really need a fierce girl army, dangerous animals on leashes, and exploding cars all in one place?

If you can stomach it—I'm not exaggerating—here's the music video for teen "artist" Rebecca Black's "Friday," which has been exploding all over the Internet this weekend. My pug could write better lyrics. And my pug is dumb.
