VIDEO PREMIERE: "Moment 4 Life" by Nicki Minaj featuring Drake

Nicki Minaj has invoked the many stage personalities for which she has become known in the new video for "Moment 4 Life." Her Godmother Martha Zolanski (mother of Minaj personality Roman Zolanski) tells the femcee of her moment for life, after which Nicki, wearing a headdress of yellow gold and cascading diamonds, moves through the palatial mansion of partygoers. The train of her turquoise gown trails the "Right Thru Me" rapper/singer, before a cotton candy pink-wigged Minaj meets with her fellow Young Money star, Drake, with open arms.

The dapper Canadian emcee raps his part, before the two approach the altar, against a backdrop of flowing fireworks. The two never officially lock lips, but as the clock strikes midnight, their lips near and retract as the fireworks display overtakes the two.

Watch the music video below (before it is yanked from YouTube by the evil music labels):

NEW MUSIC: "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" by Panic! At The Disco

Panic! At The Disco have returned with new music from the upcoming album Vices and Virtues with the premiere of the lead single "The Ballad of Mona Lisa." The energetic song is enhanced by the loud orchestral and percussive instrumental that brings back some of the magic of their debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. The resounding chorus is super-catchy and takes a much more mainstream sound than their last album, but it works well over the heavy sound of the music.

Rihanna Snubbed By Chase & Status

The production duo who worked on most of Rihanna's Rated R album have admitted that they snubbed the "What's My Name?" singer after suggestions of her interest in working with them for their new album No More Idols. They made it known that they respect the singer and have no personal qualms working with her on future projects, but their goal was to "showcase fresh and cutting edge UK talent."

Katy Perry's Single Artwork for "E.T."

Katy Perry has three number one songs under her belt with her sophomore album Teenage Dream. If that isn't a direct refutation to the "sophomore slump" trend that plagues many artists, than I don't what is! Regardless, her fourth single is the first song leaked before from her most recent LP, which is titled "E.T.," and yes, it stands for extraterrestrial.

MUSIC VIDEO REVIEW: "What The Hell" by Avril Lavigne

What Avril wants you to know with the video for her new song is that she's not just a tease, she has a male creature more loyal than a dog following her every move. As she awakes from a bed with her love interest, the ever-rebellious Lavigne carjacks a NYC cab on what is far from a NYC block (clearly the video was filmed in Los Angeles). As she drives down the road, she is followed by her clingy boyfriend in a desperate but eerily stalkerish gesture of affection.

Justin Bieber & Ozzy Osbourne To Appear in Super Bowl Advert

Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne will appear on a television commerical during the biggest television event of the year: The Super Bowl. Yes, that's right; the Godfather of Heavy Metal and the teen heartthrob will be featured in a Best Buy ad together. Of course it wreaks of cheap publicity points, harnessing the biggest teen idol of today and pairing him with the diametrically opposite figure in music, Mr. Dove-decapitator himself. However, it will obviously be a winner for Best Buy when you can pair two vastly different people in one studio.

I'm not sure whether I should cringe at the idea or cringe at myself for my curiosity as to how the final product turns out. Regardless, catch the advert on Sunday, February 6th and David Letterman, where Justin Bieber will be a guest on the Late Show both Monday (sit-down interview) and Friday (Top Ten List).

Janet Jackson's "Number Ones" Tour Adds More Dates

Although her last album struggled in the sales department, where Janet Jackson really shines is and has always been on the stage. Thus it is no surprise that her Number Ones Tour has sold out in minutes, requiring the singer and her management to add more date for the performer's upcoming tour.

Her April 14th show Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles sold out in less than 10 minutes, requiring two more dates to be added, which have sold out as well. Her sold out show at the Santa Barbara Bowl had 96% of the seats sold in presales alone, and sold out minutes after sales officially began. Sold out shows in New York, Chicago, Toronto and Philadelphia have led to new dates, while her international venues have encountered a similar response.
