Lady Gaga’s ‘G.U.Y.’ Video Tease: Meet The ‘Real Housewives Of Beverly Hillbillies’?

We may never see the mythical Terry Richardson-directed "Do What U Want" video
, but tomorrow night we'll finally get a look at Lady Gaga's epic clip for the ARTPOP single "G.U.Y."

The video, filmed at California's famed Hearst Castle mansion, features cameos from and all the outrageous outfits and head gear we've come to expect from Gaga.
 On Friday morning (March 21), Gaga dropped in to "The Today Show" to preview the clip. Wearing a nearly floor-length white wig and black dress, Mother Monster (who, by the way, claims to be a morning person), said she was not afraid to be a boss on the set.

"You have to [crack the whip] to keep the pace going," she said. "We had our work cut out for us with this video. It was a very big production. We shot for six days."

In the preview, Gaga is fussed over by her glam crew as she peeks into a mysterious wooden box while seemingly wearing nothing but her flowing wig and surrounded by black-clad dancers acting as sexy cupids with their bows poised to shoot arrows of love.

In another scene her head is adorned with a giant crow-like hat, with more bow-and-arrow-themed artwork in the background. Much of the footage on "Today" showed Gaga giving direction to her cast and crew, sometimes dressed down in a flannel shirt and giant wool baseball hat. There were also a few shots of the legendary column-lined outdoor swimming pool at the Castle, which Gaga used for a synchronized swimming tribute to 1940s-50s "Million Dollar ...

‘American Idol’ Recap: Ten Become Nine In Emotional Elimination Round

MK Nobilette's far-from-"Perfect" performance on Wednesday's led to her ouster from the show on Thursday (March 20). After landing in the bottom three for the third time in four weeks, Nobilette's luck ran out and she was sent packing back to San Francisco.

Here's how Thursday's results show shook out.

MK Says Goodbye
After giving the season's best performance last week, MK Nobilette followed it up with the season's worst performance, delivering an awkward, botched version of Pink's "Perfect" on Wednesday's performance episode. And when the votes were tallied, MK was at the bottom of the heap, and was forced to sing for the judge's save.

To her credit, she was able to quickly pull herself together, and she sang a spot-on version of John Legend's "All of Me" that nearly brought Jennifer Lopez to tears. It was the first time this season where it seemed like the judges might use their save, but in the end, they didn't. "It has to be unanimous, and it is not unanimous. And it breaks out heart, but we have to say goodbye to you," Harry Connick Jr. told her, looking like the one who wasn't on board. MK answered with a simple, "OK," and "Idol's" first openly gay finalist was sent on her way.

Majesty, Dexter In Bottom Three
Joining Nobilette in the week's Bottom Three were Majesty Rose, taking up residence at the bottom for a second straight week, and Dexter Roberts. Majesty landed in the bottom after her un-EDM'd version of Avicii's "Wake Me Up," and Dexter faced elimination for the first time after ...

New Photos Released In Kurt Cobain’s Suicide

Almost exactly 20 years after Kurt Cobain's suicide, Seattle Police have released previously unseen photos from the scene of his death.

Both photos show what appears to be drug paraphernalia — a spoon and needles are seen in one photo — along with a pair of sunglasses, a pack of cigarettes, a towel and a wallet.

The photos are far from revelatory — it was known that Cobain was high on heroin when he shot himself — but they were among four rolls of photos that were only recently discovered when the case was reviewed.

Nearly two decades after his death, cold case detective Mike Ciesynski decided this week to review the case — but did not reopen it or reinvestigate it. There have been several conspiracy theories surrounding the Nirvana frontman's suicide — even a book published in 1999 titled Who Killed Kurt Cobain?: The Mysterious Death of an Icon — and it was those lingering questions and "a lot of media interest" that led Ciesynski to take another look.

In a statement on the Seattle Police Department website, Ciesynski said the reason the photos were not released before now is that investigators "felt it was a suicide and already had Polaroids and photos from the medical examiner."

The detective didn't discover anything new in the case, but he explained that "there were so many conspiracy theories out there, it was good judgement on their behalf to hold to this."

"Sometimes people believe what they read — some of the disinformation from some of the books, that this ...

Rick Ross Drops ‘The Devil Is A Lie’ Video, But Where’s Jay Z?

You couldn't stop Rick Ross if you tried, and the MMG Bawse reminded the rap game of that immutable fact Thursday (March 20) with the release of his new music video for Mastermind's without any trace of the song's collaborator, Jay Z.

The brief clip begins with Rozay emerging from a spankin' new Rolls Royce under a bridge. Able to spark flames with a flourish of his Rolex Sky-Dweller-adorned hand, the Teflon Don then fires off the first verse.

The visuals toggle back and forth between a leather jacket-wearing Ross spitting rhymes in the heat of the night to a shirtless Ross performing right into the camera in front of a black backdrop. Suddenly, nondescript men get in and out of black SUVs, that then begin to traverse the block in a line headed nowhere in particular.

While the signature horns punctuate the track, flames appear intermittently, as do the song's lyrics in various languages like Arabic, Chinese and Spanish. But as Ross gets in the back seat of a waiting vehicle at the verse's conclusion, it's evident that his partner in rhyme won't be making his expected cameo.

And for those that will challenge whether or not this Hov-less video is the genuine article, Rozay himself shared the link from his personal Twitter account.

Could A Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber Duet Be In The Works? [Poll]

Selena Gomez has been a little quiet on the music front lately, but maybe not for long if Selenators — and Beliebers — get their way.

Maybe it's the fact that the on-again, off-again couple seem to have rekindled their romance, but many fans are eager to see the pair get together not only for Starbucks dates, but in the studio too.

Now, a snippet that hit the Internet on Thursday (March 20) has those very devoted fans buzzing. Tumblr user Jelenacruisin posted a track titled "Duet #1" with the featured artists listed as Gomez and ... Justin Bieber.

While we're very skeptical about the origins of the track — the five-second snippet features no vocals from Justin and isn't officially promoted by either artist — that didn't stop Selenators and Beliebers from reblogging the song and sparking speculation that a collabo between Selena and Justin is in the works.

The couple also known as Jelena more or less confirmed that sparks were still flying when Justin posted a video of the two of them in a super steamy dance rehearsal. Could they have been practicing moves for a rumored duet and eventual music video?

We don't know, but we won't rule it out. Here's what we do know: The "Come and Get It" singer cut short her Stars Dance Tour to focus on her health this past winter. And Justin, who's been battling a string of legal troubles, has been spending a whole lot of time in the studio. He's dropped teasers in the last few weeks, including ...
