Cinderoncé: The Cinderella musical set entirely to Beyoncé music

We do not even know where to begin to catalogue the awesome that is the YouTubusical Cinderoncé. Her fairy drag-mother’s rhymes, the “Get Me Bodied” “Diva” dance, the chiseled, shirtless pony boys, the “Single Ladies” ball — there is just so much awesome here. And yes, that is Shangella from RuPaul’s Drag Race and Todrick…

First Pompeii Trailer Spoiler Alert: Everybody Dies

Oh man, Paul W.S. Anderson’s take on the destruction of the Roman city of Pompeii looks ridiculous.

Lady Gaga’s goose egg video for “Applause” turns her into a black swan

Whoa nelly. The usually fairly more stunning music video maker Lady Gaga has dropped her latest video tome for her new single “Applause.” It’s certainly something.
