Swedish House Mafia has recently premiered the music video for their single “Save the World”. The uplifting club-ready tune is their offering for 2011’s summer parties and it features vocals by up and coming Swedish singer John Martin. As for the music video, it was shot in LA and released via VEVO recently. The premise is quite clear, a diner attendant on a late shirt, a gentleman chilling in his car and two ladies walking the streets are the targets of different assailants. And when Swedish House Mafia ask who’s gonna save the world tonight, their answer is dogs. I love the video concept!

Owl City, aka Adam Young, is back with a new song. Two years after the successful album “Ocean Eyes”, the indie electronic artist will return to the music scene with the release of his latest studio project called “All Things Bright and Beautiful”, which is set to hit stores on May 17, 2011. The album will be led by the single “Alligator Sky” which features LA rapper Shawn Chrystopher. Adam’s lyrics are still pretty out there but that doesn’t even matter when his music is so amazing. I like the song but I also wish that he would have collaborated with BoB instead.

Nas just had his child and spousal support obligations sliced in half but he still has to pay his ex-wife Kelis a pretty penny. According to legal documents filed in LA County Superior Court, the rapper must now pay just a bit over $5000 a month in child support and $20,000 a month in spousal support. It sounds like a lot but Nas was actually paying twice that until he convinced the judge that the bad economy has hit even the rap business hard. Add the fact that hes not really working and there you go. So this month, Nas gets to pocket an extra $25,000 for himself.
Bruno Mars has postponed his court date on a Las Vegas cocaine charge for the second time. The R&B singer was not in court this past Tuesday while his lawyer asked a judge to let Brunos LA attorney take part in the case. Instead, Bruno will be back in court on February 4. The singer is facing a felony drug possession charge after he was found with 2.6 grams of cocaine following a September performance in Las Vegas. If convicted, Bruno can face up to four years in prison. I say he just needs to get this over with. With his luck, he can still resurrect his career like Lil Wayne.
Slash and his wife Perla Ferrar have recently reconciled after initially filing for divorce. Now, the rock star has filed for a dismissal of his divorce in LA County Superior Court. Hopefully, the court will sign off on the dismissal. If both of them want to be back in the marriage, I dont see any reason why they shouldnt get a second chance to make things work. I wish them both the best of luck and I hope things will be sweeter for them this time around. They should learn not to rush into making any decisions so no one has to be troubled with this kind of thing again.
While you are here check Slash’ new song titled “Beautiful Dangerous”, he teamed up with a Fergie

X Factor is about to get fierce as it is being reported that Nicole Scherzinger is about to sign at multimillion dollar contract to be a judge on the US version of the show. Sources say that the Pussycat Dolls lead singer will be joining Cheryl Cole who has been discussing this with Cowell for months and is ready to move to LA. That panel of judges is seemingly coming along well. I wonder who else will be joining them. Its certainly going to be interesting to watch how this show would compare to American Idol. I wonder if theres going to be any drama between the judges like there was on the UK version of the show.
Mariah Carey ran up a $38,000 tab with a veterinarian who claims that she cared for the curvaceous divas puppies 24/7 and even delivered one of them. Dr. Cindy Bressler has filed a lawsuit against the pop singer in Manhattan this week and claims that she provided extraordinary services for three of Mariahs Jack Russell terriers but that shes only been paid $8000 out of the $38K bill. Dr. Bressler was said to be in charge of grooming and feeding the dogs while Mariah was in LA promoting Precious. According to the vets attorney, Dr. Bressler also brought one of the dogs into this world by delivering the puppy last year.
Kid Rock has to pay three guys who sued him over an alleged fight last year. The singer has to fork over $35,000 ? that isn?t at all bad considering that they originally demanded $15 million. The three men who filed the lawsuit last year claimed that the country rock star and three members of the Boo-Yaa Tribe hip hop group assaulted them outside of an LA hotel in 2006. The jury in the case reached the verdict and ordered Kid Rock to fork over the money for the three guys to split. It doesn?t sound so bad until you figure out that they weren?t awarded any attorneys fees which means that a nice chunk of that money, if not all, will be handed over to their lawyers.
Jared Leto and the rest of his band 30 Seconds to Mars have a new video out for ?Kings + Queens?. The video features bicyclists cruising around LA. Jared went on his Twitter after the shoot, saying ?Shoot was insane and amazing. Just realized the first time we played KINGS+QUEENS together was up there overlooking LA. Fitting. ? After a two year battle to get their new album completed and released, it?s finally ready and the singer/actor couldn?t be more excited. Jared told MTV ?We spent two years of our lives working on that record, and it was us against the world. We didn?t have outside influence or help, we didn?t have a label, we had us, betting the farm, and pushing ourselves.?
Rihanna was sued by a neighbor claiming that she and her friends drove all over his lawn, and now, the singer is trying to drive the lawsuit out of the court. In the original lawsuit, Christina Moeller claimed that the Barbadian beauty had been allowing cars to drive on his lawn to get to her driveway, adding that the cars sometimes just parked on his grass. Rihanna recently filed a response to that suit in an LA County Superior Court. Her lawyers deny almost every accusation saying neither the singer nor any person acting in contact with her caused any damage whatsoever.
The fact that her movie just got pushed back doesn?t seem to have any effect on Miley Cyrus as she continues to live large. After her concert at the Staples Center on Tuesday night, sources say that the singer showed up at the newly opened Katsuya LA live with an entourage of 100 people. The Disney star wanted a little privacy for her group so she bought out the restaurant for the night. Miley danced the night away while sipping on Katsuya?s Watermelon Elixir. It?s not an alcoholic beverage but let?s be honest ? if she wanted one, she could have one.
AEG is finally putting their money where their mouth is as they have followed through with their promise to donate the money they raised at the Michael Jackson memorial to the LA Police Foundation. According to the LA Times, the company has donated $90,000 which they made from the sale of 18 suites for the July 7th memorial of the King of Pop at the Staples Center. It?s being said that part of the money will go to build a memorial for fallen officers in front of the new police headquarters. However, the LA City Attorney believes that AEG should still pay for sanitation, transportation, street services and LAPD protection expenses for the late singer?s memorial.
ES Group, the company that was hired to build Madonna?s stage for the cancelled concert in France where two workers died with eight others injured, have released a statement regarding the accident. After expressing their grief regarding the tragedy, their rep said ?At present, it would not be appropriate to speculate on potential causes of the accident, but we are working closely with the French authorities to investigate what caused this incident. This is normal practice for such an incident and we will provide a further update as soon as it is possible.? Mind you, the company is also responsible for a collapsed stage at Dodger?s Stadium in LA for Madonna?s show last November.
