Nick Jonas Recycles ‘Chains’ in New Video from Wynwood Walls (watch!)

Keith Girard
Nick Jonas picks Miami’s famed Wynwood Walls graffiti and street art center as the scene for a remake of a video for his song “Chains.” It has a Mardi Gras vibe, but oddly, Nick looks wildly out of place. While he’s surrounded by scantily clad partygoers in wild costumes, dancing in an urban street scene, Nick looks like he’s decked out in J Crew. At the very end of the video, he’s finally in party gear smeared with paint....

Keith Girard
Madonna, who has set music trends for the past 30 years, is back with a new album Rebel Heart, a mix of what she calls “rebellious, provocative” songs and sweeter ballads.

George Harrison: A Look Back at His Career on His 72nd Birthday (video)

Winchester
George Harrison was unquestionably the Beatle I really wanted to meet. Who could forget his early songs like “Taxman” and “Blue Jay Way,” or his lasting contribution to human rights. He would have been 72 today had he survive lung cancer that took his life in 2001 at the age of 58. I met John Lennon, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, but Harrison eluded me. He was full of intrigue and complexity and almost dared you to like him. His brilliant 1970 Concert For Bangladesh set the standard for charity shows. Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Jim Keltner, Jesse Ed Davis, Klaus Vorman, half-of Badfinger, Ringo, Billy Preston and horn-men Tom Scott and Jim Horn were there, led by George....

What the Hell Happened to Mariah Carey? Major Lip-Sync Fail (watch!)

Keith Girard
Mariah Carey must have had something her mind… make that a lot on her mind. She lost her concentration repeatedly while lip-synching at the 2015 Jazz and Blues Festival in Jamaica, Friday (Jan. 30), and at times looked bewildered, botching words and singing off time. It was probably her biggest performance fail yet in a recent string of embarrassing performances. Carey, age 44, or 45, (she can’t even get that right) is in the throes of an increasingly bitter break-up with husband Nick Cannon. They have two children together....
