Katy Perry premieres her new video 'E.T.' featuring Kanye West

Katy Perry's new video for the song E.T., featuring Kanye West has finally premiered. It was directed by Floria Sigismondi, who is known for her unusual, out-of-this-world videos. Her previous work includes music videos for artists such as Bjork, Christina Aguilera, David Bowie, The Cure, The White Stripes, Marilyn Manson, Fiona Apple and Muse.

"Her trademark dilating, jittery camerawork, noticeable as early as her video for Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People", has been replicated by a great number of directors since. Her very innovative, but also very disturbing video works, located in sceneries she once described as "entropic underworlds inhabited by tortured souls and omnipotent beings", attracted a number of very prominent musicians." (IMDb)

Katy Perry's ivory couture gown in the video is by Viktor & Rolf.

Here's the much-hyped video:

We Do...Do You?

Yes people, for better or for worse - wedding season is upon us.

Last night KING got a wedding overdose at the annual New York Weddings event at the Metropolitan Pavilion, hosted by New York Magazine.  Although no one at KING is on their way to the alter, we just had to drop by and check it out!

As soon as we got there, we made a bee line to see designer and friend Angelo Lambrou, whose Atelier is located in New York's own East Village.  Angelo designed a custom gown for KING's CEO Keri Ingvarsson when she got married and has been a close friend ever since!  As expected, we were drooling over the beautiful gowns Angelo had on display, both wedding and couture.

It was a stampede of Bridezillas at the Metropolitan Pavilion

The gowns weren't the only thing on display - we also saw some larger-than-life wedding cakes and decorations.

Wedding cake decorated with - soap bubbles? Which bride doesn't want that?

A more colorful and decadent decoration

The wedding gowns ranged from full skirts filled with tulle to vintage cocktail chic.  There was definitely a dress for every bride.

I love the bride on a bike...Veuve in the basket!

A gigantic flower necklace? Why not?

Oscar Isaac feared Madonna would send him to exercise boot camp

Oscar Isaac feared Madonna would send him to exercise boot camp to prepare for his sex scenes in 'W.E.'.

The actor plays the part of bodyguard Evgeni in the new movie ' a two-tier tale about Britain's King Edward VIII's romance with Wallis Simpson and a modern story about a woman named Wally ' and he admits he was terrified about stripping off for his love scenes with co-star Abbie Cornish because the super-fit singer-turned-director was watching.

Speaking on the red carpet at the UK premiere of his new movie 'Sucker Punch' at the Vue cinema in London's Leicester Square last night (30.03.11), Oscar told BANG Showbiz: ' play a security guard that Abbie's character Wally Winthrop falls in love with. We have a romance. That was one of the more intimidating moments. I had to take my clothes off in front of Madonna. I thought she was going to order me out of the room - 'Get out and get to the gym!' '

Despite his concerns, the 31-year-old hunk had a good time with Madonna ' who has launched her own chain of gyms, entitled Hard Candy Fitness - on set after he got over his initial nerves.

Oscar ' who stars alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Jena Malone in fantasy action movie 'Sucker Punch', which is directed by Zack Snyder ' said: 'Madonna was great. It was intimidating but she's a pretty amazing woman. Is she a diva? I was hoping she would be one. She's actually very self-deprecating and really funny. She's actually very open.'

Other stars to walk the rainy red carpet in London included 'Sucker Punch' cast members Emily Browning and Jamie Chung and future Superman Henry Cavill.

And The Saga Continues...

It has not been a good week for Marc Jacobs' CEO Robert Duffy.  Fresh off the disgruntled intern's Twitter rampage, describing Duffy as a "tyrant", comes even more disturbing allegations from former CFO/COO Patrice Lataillade.

According to the New York Post, Lataillade claims that Duffy used company money to fund personal things...not SO unheard of.  But then, the allegations get a little bizarr-o.  Making employees to watch gay porn?  Forced pole dancing?  Using nude/sexual photos of the MJ staff in a book that he produced?  *Why are there even nude/sexual photos of the staff?  Hello Red Flag!

This looks like it is going to be a nasty game of "He Said, She Said"... I'm popping the popcorn as I type and getting ready for the show. 

Casey Abrams Redeems Himself On 'American Idol' With 'Your Song'

Abrams initially came into the competition one of the favorites to win it all, though a series of health problems and a couple of bum performances — including last week's train-wreck take on Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" — stalled his momentum to the point where America sent him packing. But the judges threw their weight behind the shaggy-haired soul man, and this week it was up to him to prove they made the right decision.

But first, he had to deal with the fallout from last week's performance. When mentor Jimmy Iovine rolled tape of Abrams' Motown week effort, the singer found it difficult to even watch. "You know what was wrong with that performance?" Iovine asked. Abrams sheepishly replied "some ... things?" while Iovine corrected him: "Everything!" Iovine went on to say Abrams "killed himself" with the Gaye cover, saying he'd lost his way in the competition and needed to refocus.

Producer Rodney Jerkins was just as critical, but had a far more concrete solution to Abrams' problems: "Get rid of the beard." Abrams took Jerkins' advice to heart and took his mug to Baxter Finley, a Los Angeles barber shop, where a team of skilled professionals trimmed his bushy facial fuzz and hacked away at his unkempt hair. The results weren't unveiled until Abrams hit the "Idol" stage, though it wasn't as dramatic as the segment led viewers to believe. Instead, Abrams' look was simply a fresher, cleaner version of the wild man he'd come to be known as — Abrams 2.0, if you will.
His performance was where he really showed his rededication to the competition. Taking on Elton John's "Your Song," Abrams stayed seated and didn't do laps around the studio as he did during Motown week or thrash in place as he did during his risky take on Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" two weeks prior. He dialed himself way back, delivering the song in a comfortable, heartfelt manner and letting the lyrics take over. (Some tabloid reports have tied Abrams to fellow contestant Haley Reinhart, though there was no word whether he was singing the song to his alleged new squeeze.) Eventually, he let out his inner Casey, grunting a few notes near the song's close, but overall it was the most reserved he'd been onstage yet. He delivered a high closing note that noted music scholar Randy Jackson would later identify as a Major 9.
Jackson called the performance "brilliant," "nice" and "tender," while Steven Tyler praised Abrams' range of styles, saying that makes him a "true artist." Jennifer Lopez called the performance "very Casey" and reiterated that the judges made the correct decision by keeping him around. "Along the way, we've had to make some hard decisions and send some really, really great people home, and I've lost sleep over that. But one decision I didn't lose one ounce of sleep over was saving you," she said. "I slept like a baby!"

Let's Talk About: Kate Nash And Shenae Grimes' Heart Face Paint

They aren't as jaw-dropping as face implants (a la Lady Gaga), but the black hearts that British singer/songwriter Kate Nash and 90210 actress Shenae Grimes recently rocked on their cute mugs did grab our attention. Kate painted a medium sized heart on each cheek, while Shenae did a single teardrop-style heart in the corner of her right eye (p.s. it looks like the handy work of waterproof liquid liner). The whole thing sorta reminds us of Gucci Mane's ice cream cheek tattoo. Memba? Ya know, butterflies, flowers, ice cream cones, hearts, balloons, etc.—they fall under that yeah-I-have-a-real/fake-face-tatoo-but-it's-sooooooo-sweet-so-it's-not-scary umbrella. We're still trying to figure out if the hearts are GREAT or just gratuitous. What do you think—do you <3 it?

More Makeup Looks From Katy Perry's 'E.T.' Vid (Peep The Fan Copycats)!

Katy Perry’s upcoming music video for "E.T." features some seriously futuristic and fantastic makeup. The pop star JUST posted NEW photos of some of the alien-esque looks—a bronze spotty creation and a red eye masked number—on her Facebook page, where you have to go immediately to check out the incredible NAILS she's got going on, too.

Meanwhile, she encouraged her fans to try and re-create the blue and pink masterpiece that she leaked last week and that reallyreallyreally reminds us of Avatar's Neytiri. We aren't surprised that KP's loyal legion of followers would copycat the looks, whether at her behest or not. But what shocked us was how freakin' good these average Janes' makeup game turned out to be. GEESH...and here we are struggling to make a straight line with liquid eyeliner, and are maybe way too lazy NOT to just cop the cutout Katy Perry mask. Anyways, the one thing we CAN DO is cast judgment on the creations of others, so check out some of our fave masterpieces below. And if you think you can do better, prove it here.

WINNERS: From the nearly-identical forehead patterns, to the blue-green eyes (real? contacts?), these girls MUST be professional makeup artists. If they aren't, they need to go ahead and switch careers.

RUNNERS-UP: ALMOST. OK, so these girls get an 'E' for effort. The colors are on point, but the eyelines and hairlines are a little unfinished/crooked, and the forehead designs aren't quite faithful to the original.

MOST CREATIVE RENDITION FROM THE ORIGINAL: These looks have little to do with Katy Perry's actual music video steez, but that's what makes them kinda awesome? From yellow flower vines, chest/shoulder/neck paint and spotty hairlines, these freestylers said eff it and interpreted the alien look to their own liking.
