¡viva la graham!

Can you imagine how excited I am right now? TWO Kylie videos made their world premieres yesterday. Up top we’ve got “Wow,” a disco-pop gem which is climbing the charts in the U.K. and Australia and is now rumored to be the first single in the U.S. The visuals, the set, the costumes — everything is absolutely stunning.

And down below you’ll find new European single “In My Arms,” a future club classic. The new clip features the pop princess sporting Kanye West inspired sunglasses and a fabulous checkered dress. Enjoy!

Jared Leto is officially dead to me.

Somewhere along the line he became a douchebag, which is never attractive, and then there’s that mediocre band of his, 30 Seconds to Mars (still can’t get past the ridiculousness of that name, either).

Anyway, here he is getting the last bit of sex sucked out of him by Paris Hilton a few days ago. It was good while it lasted…

Do we need more? Not really. But this one actually has promise.

His name is David Jordan, and he sounds like Terrence Trent D’Arby meets Prince meets Michael Jackson, with perhaps a dash of Lenny Kravitz for good measure. He is a flamboyant Brit, so of course the powers that be are attempting to launch his career in the U.K. first. Lord knows if he’ll ever cross the pond (so many European pop stars fail in that respect), but that doesn’t mean a few adventurous Yanks won’t enjoy some of his tunes.

Below you can watch Mr. Jordan’s new video, “Sun Goes Down.” The fantastic new track has just been A-listed by Radio 1, so he must be “on the way up” as they say.

…Or am I a total sucker?

Here’s the alleged cover of Mariah Carey’s new disc, tentatively titled That Chick. The photo looks new — photoshopped like hell, but new — but I think one of Mimi’s precious ”Lambs” put this together. I’m not even going to get started on that album title.

That said, I can’t wait to hear this shit, due out in April. I love this crazy bitch. Bring it on!

British electronic duo Goldfrapp have toned it down a bit since their disco-glam last album, Supernature. The idyllic promotional clip for new single “A&E” (short for “accident and emergency”) debuted this past weekend, and I’m not sure what to make of it. While it’s worth a look — the visuals definitely suit the track’s understated vibe — the choreography performed by the camouflaged dancers seems a bit too manic. Perhaps it will grow on me.

I wasn’t immediately blown away by the song either, but after a few listens I am completely enamored. “A&E” fits right in with breathtaking ballads like “Black Cherry” and “Utopia,” and nicely complements the glitterball glamour of “Ooh La La” and “Train.”

Goldfrapp’s new album, Seventh Tree, will be released Feb 25 in the U.K. and the following day in the States.

Remember Meredith Brooks? She was moderately famous for a few months in the late ’90s thanks to a track called “Bitch.” You probably can’t remember her next single, “What Would Happen,” which peaked on the charts at No. 46. (I had to look it up.)

Twenty-three-year-old Katy Perry is the latest rock chick to take a familiar diss and turn it in into a pop song, only this time around the song is called “Ur So Gay.” It’s about an ex-boyfriend, of course, who is in fact not gay — he just likes H&M and guy-liner.

Like “Bitch” did for Brooks, this tongue-in-cheek track will likely launch Perry into the public eye. Only time will tell if she manages to outlive its’ novelty and forge a long-lasting career. If she’s got more like this up those polka-dotted sleeves, let’s hope she does.

For the record, Perry isn’t using “gay” as a derogatory term. She’s friends with Mika, if that tells you anything. Check out the very infectious “Ur So Gay” in the IMEEM media player in the sidebar (or for a limited time download it for free by clicking on the strawberry tattoo from her official web site — password: pnasty). Whistle along with her if you like.

Former Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland has a U.K. hit on her hands with a very funky Freemasons remix of “Work,” an otherwise good-but-not-great track from her latest album Ms. Kelly. Her producers must have taken a cue from Beyonce, whose “Green Light” was also improved upon by the English mixmasters.

As you might have guessed from the title of this post, the lyrics of the single are blatantly on the saucy side: “You gotta get it all the way in / I wanna see you work.”

In a recent interview with Popjustice, Kelly claimed that in reality the song does not concern any type of intercourse, so get your filthy minds out of the gutter. Here’s an excerpt:

Popjustice: Is it about sex?
Kelly Rowland: “Oh no, it’s actually very innocent. All I’m saying is don’t come around if you’re not going to live up to all your talk and as you know, some guys are just full of talk.”

PJ: So all those lyrics about ‘putting it in’…
KR: “Okay, it’s a little aggressive maybe. It’s just a woman saying you can’t catch me easy and you have to put in the work. It’s about putting in work – that’s it, of course.”

That settles that, then! Hopefully the inadvertent double entendre doesn’t hurt Kelly’s chances on the charts. *haha!*

If you were a fan of 90210 growing up, chances are you could become addicted to the new CW drama Gossip Girl.

I enjoyed watching West Beverly brats Donna and Kelly until they got to college — then I sort of lost interest. And until now I resisted similar scripted shows like The O.C. and Laguna Beach (c’mon, you know that shit ain’t real!) which revolved around spoiled teenagers with impossible good looks.

That changed a few weeks back after catching an episode of Gossip with a friend. The show’s protaganist, Upper East Side socialite Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively, pictured) isn’t completely intolerable (I’m lookin’ at you, Mischa Barton). In fact, despite her unfathomable lifestyle and her snooty friends, she’s completely endearing. Of course there’s plenty of soap opera scandal to keep one entertained, but the writing is much better than your standard primetime melodrama. Also, it really helps to have a likable lead character to root for.

Oh yeah, the handsome male leads don’t hurt matters…

Gossip Girl moves to Mondays with its next new episode Jan 28. Brenda and Brandon will surely be watching.
