HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE TEASER TRAILER!!

The Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer was finally released!!! It is amazing! It looks so different than any other Potter movie and THAT IS GREAT! So, here it is:





OMG! Tom Riddle, Dumbledore, Pensieve, Oh My! Click Here for for the rest!!

Danity Kane, Rihanna, Gnarls Barkley & Bow Wow Videos

YAY! More videos!

First up, Danity Kane finally released the video for their second single, "Bad Girl" featuring Missy Elliott, six months after "Damaged" was released. This is definitely their most creative video, and I LOVE IT. But I do have to say that I think the video's missing a big dance number. I feel like at some point they just all should have broken it down and danced. Also, I'm a little sick of Dawn & Q.



Rihanna has released her new video earlier this week for "Disturbia" off of the ridiculous re-release of her album Good Girl Gone Bad. I have to say that I hated this song in the beginning, but it has definitely grown on me. Plus, this video is SICK! I think her best video yet.



More after the jump!!


Gnarls Barkley released their third video from their album The Odd Couple for the song "Who's Gonna Save My Soul Now?" Again, Gnarls Barkley has outdone themselves with this video. It is just amazing. I love how it isn't a performance video and it's just the story.



Finally, Bow Wow has released the first single from his upcoming album Pedigree called "Marco Polo" featured the tired Soulja Boy. I don't even want to comment on this ridiculousness. Seriously, Bow Wow?

Trailer Talk: HBP & Twilight

OMG EXCITING NEWS!:The teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is going to be released via satellite on Tuesday July 29!! It should be online soon after that. Finally, after months of speculating when it will be released and after that lame 15 second thing that I refused to post, it will arrive.

Secondly, a second, longer teaser trailer for the Twilight movie was released last week (sorry, I'm a little late posting it). Here it is:




P.S. I will posting my views on the Emmy nominations soon (sorry it's a week late). Click Here for for the rest!!

MORE MUSIC VIDEOS! (The good and the bad)

A lot of videos have come out in the past few days. some are good and others are not. Without out further procrastination:

First up, Ashanti's video for "Good Good". I'm still not sure how I feel about this song (is it fun or annoying?), but this video is HOT HOT HOT. I have to say that this is definitely one of the best videos of the year. It is creative and different than the rest of the videos out there. She's not dancing on a beach (Keyshia or Mariah anyone?) or in a club. The video fits the song so well. Here it is:



Secondly, Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere released a song and video for "Wake Up Call", funded by Candies. I have to say Hayden looks really hot, but the sond is not so much. It unfortunately brings back memories of Paris's "Stars Are Blind" (the faux reggae beat & the weak (sorry) vocals). Hayden isn't a bad singer, but this song may not be a right fit (although it can get stuck in your head). Here's the video (it's worth a look):



More after the jump!!


Diddy's ex-umbrella holder Fonzworth Bentley has teamed up with Kanye West and Andre 3000 for his first single "Everybody". Just watch it. It's priceless!



N.E.R.D. released their new video for their second sinlge "Spaz". I LOVE this song and the whole CD, but this video doesn't do the song justice. I was hoping for something a little more creative than a performance video. Check it out:




What happened to Pretty Ricky?? Everything they're putting out lately is crap, including this new video for "Knocking Boots 08". Just watch it (or really not):




Alicia Keys has released the latest video from her album As I Am for the song "Superwoman". The song and the video are hot! I can't really explain it, you have to watch it!!




Finally, Robin Thicke released the video for his new single "Magic". I have to say I didn't like the song at first, but it's growing on me. The video's pretty good.



I'm out!

Videos Galore!

There are a couple videos that came out today (or recently) that you all should see.

First, my new favorite Keri Hilson dropped her video for her debut single, "Energy"!



More videos after the jump!!


Next up is Gym Class Heroes' video for their buzz single, "Peace Sign/Index Down" featuring Busta Rhymes. The video for their official first single "Cookie Jar" should drop soon. (PS. Look for Tyga in the vid)



Lastly, this video was released a couple days ago, but I'll post it now. It is a collaboration between NERD, Santogold, and Julian Casablancas of the Strokes called "My Drive Thru" for Converse.

106: What's the hell's up with Terrence?

On 106 & Park on Friday, Terrence decided to just bash Rocsi for her teleprompter reading skills, her breath, and her body ("why don't you have a body like Ciara").



That was all really ridiculous and seriously extremely unprofessional on Terrence's part. Rocsi walked off (which is also a little unprofessional), but seriously, Terrence was out of control. Then, HE messed up reading the e-mail address as well: he said, "freestylefriday@gmail.com", forgetting the "106". It was uncalled for & I think Rocsi had a right to walk off. What do you think?

AND IT BEGINS!

The Breaking Dawn onslaught is beginning!


First, this week's Entertainment Weekly features a Twilight movie cover (seen above), as well as two articles. One about Stephenie Meyer and how the series' success has affected her and the other about the movie.

Secondly, today is officially 21 days until the book release, so Stephenie has started her 21 "Breaking Dawn Quotes of the Day". The first was just released (see below) on her myspace, but she does warn that the quotes are out of context, out of order, ans purposefully misleading, so take that into consideration.


ONLY 21 DAYS!

More on Emmy Shortlists! (UPDATED!)

Hey, I just found this website that had a lot of the Emmy Shortlists (meaning the top 10 or 11 that will be narrowed down to 5).

I'll edit this post later with my opinions, but for now I just wanted to give you the link!!

UPDATED: I already reviewed the Shortlists for Drama and Comedy series, but you can find the rest of my opinons after the jump!


Best Drama Actor: I have to admit that I don't watch the majority of the TV shows that are nominated in the Drama categories, so the only one in this category I would really be rooting for in Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy). MIA (Missing in action): Bill Paxton (Big Love) and Christopher Meloni (SVU) (who never gets nominated).

Best Drama Actress: I would have to root for either Patricia Arquette (Medium) or Jeanne Tripplehorn (Big Love). While I do also like Mariska Hargitay (SVU), I definitely don't think she is necessarily any better that Christopher Meloni. MIA: The other actresses from Big Love: Ginnifer Goodwin and especially Chole Sevigny (who is just as good if not better than Jeanne).

Best Supporting Drama Actor: I would vote for either Bruce Dern (Big Love), T.R. Knight (Grey's Anatomy), or Jake Weber (Medium). I really hope Jake gets nominated just because he never does, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be T.R. MIA: Donald Sutherland (Dirty Sexy Money), Masi Oka and Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes).

Best Supporting Drama Actress: My choices for 4 of the nominees would be Jill Clayburgh (Dirty Sexy Money), S. Epatha Merkerson (Law and Order), Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson (Grey's Anatomy). The fifth can be whoever. I definitely want Chandra Wilson to win because her character brings so much to the show and she is underappreciated as an actress. MIA: Michelle Trachtenberg (Gossip Girl), Hayden Panettiere (Heroes), Amanda Seyfried (Big Love), Sarah Ramirez (Grey's Anatomy), and Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) (I'm kidding).

Best Comedy Actor: So the list isn't complete, but from what's there, I would definitely pick Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) for the win. Of the options Gold Derby gives for possible nominees, the only one I watch is Zach Braff (Scrubs), but I really don't think he'll be nominated.

Best Comedy Actress: Wow, there are 7 in this category that I would want to be nominated. (AHH!!!) Well, for the 5 nominated actresses I would pick Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives), Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies), Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives), Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds), and Eva Longoria Parker (Desperate Housewives). My next choice for nomination would be Christina Applegate (Samantha Who?) and then America Ferrera (Ugly Betty). I really couldn't decide between Eva and Christina. I love Eva, which is why I picked her ultimately. I would definitely pick Mary-Louise Parker to win this category. MIA: Teri Hatcher (the only missing Desperate Housewives).

Best Supporting Comedy Actor: Again, no shows I really watch in this group, except for 1. So, I would have to say that Justin Kirk (Weeds) should definitely win. MIA: Chi McBride (Pushing Daisies), Michael Urie (Ugly Betty), and Doug Savant (Desperate Housewives).

Best Supporting Comedy Actress: In this category, I think that the 5 of the nominees should be Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies), Judith Light (Ugly Betty), Elizabeth Perkins (Weeds), Jean Smart (Samantha Who?), and Vanessa Williams (Ugly Betty). For me, it would be down between Kristin and Elizabeth, but I'll have to pick Elizabeth Perkins in the end. MIA: Dana Delany and Nicollette Sheridan (Desperate Housewives), Sarah Chalke (Scrubs), Becki Newton and Ashley Jensen (Ugly Betty), Swoosie Kurtz (Pushing Daisies), and Jennifer Esposito (Samantha Who?).

I'm not going to go into the Guests, but here are the direct links:
