  • Jake Owen Shares Emotional 'What We Ain't Got' Music Video [WATCH]

    Country star Jake Owen has shared the music video for his latest single "What We Ain't Got," which you can check out below. The highly emotional video is pretty bare bones and features Owen singing the song while the camera focuses on several people who have overcome or are overcoming some sort of adversity, including a cancer patient, a prisoner and a paraplegic.According to "The Boot," most of the people who appear in the video are not actors and are actually suffering from the afflictions they are portraying."I think it was just important to have real people and real scenarios in this song to help with the message of it," Owen says of the video.One of the people who appears in the video — the first person to appear after Owen — is the song's writer Travis Meadows, who wrote the song about his own troubled life.

  • Salt-N-Pepa Reunite with 'Push It' in Geico Commercial [WATCH]

    There are few tracks that have stood the test of time since the 1980s like Salt-N-Pepa's iconic "Push It." Even today, you will hear the instantly recognizable, spacey '80s synths carrying through the mix just about everywhere. Now insurance company GEICO has decided to call on the brilliance of the classic "Push It" for a new commercial.To make things even better, GEICO managed to get Salt-N-Pepa to be in the commercial themselves and perform the songs to a variety of different situations that required people to push things, via CNBC.The trio follows individuals onto an elevator, telling a woman to push a button; into a prenatal exercise class, imploring a woman to push it — though maybe not yet; and then onto a dummy sled, coaching football players to once again push it. The commercial could have at least plugged in the turntables or hooked them up in some way to seem less like a plastic prop, though that is getting picky with such a great commercial.

  • Joni Mitchell Halts Biopic About Her Career Starring Taylor Swift

    If you were looking forward to that Joni Mitchell/Carole King/Carly Simon biopic "Girls Like Us," then today, Nov. 25, you are out of luck. In an interview with "The Sunday Times," via "NME," Joni Mitchell revealed that she has pulled the plug on the project, citing the casting of Taylor Swift as one of the primary reasons."I squelched that!" Mitchell admitted. "I said to the producer, 'All you've got is a girl with high cheekbones.' It's just a lot of gossip, you don't have the great scenes.""There's a lot of nonsense about me in books," Mitchell went on to say, "assumptions, assumptions, assumptions."The now-halted film was based on the book "Girls Like Us" by Sheila Weller, which followed the rise of Mitchell and her singer-songwriter contemporaries Carly Simon and Carole King during the 1970s. Swift was cast as Mitchell back in 2012, with "Mad Men's" Jessica Pare cast as Simon and "The Newsroom's" Alison Pill cast as King.

  • Jack U (Skrillex and Diplo) Release 'Take U There' Featuring Kiesza Music Video [WATCH]

    As they announced on Power 106's "Big Boy's Neighborhood," Skrillex and Diplo have released the music video for their super duo Jack U's debut single "Take U There" alongside must-watch Canadian singer Kiesza. The video is not a big-budget music video you may find from a major-label-signed pop star, but is more of a well-produced do-it-yourself video.It features footage of Jack U performing across the Mad Decent Block Party tour this summer in Los Angeles and Dallas, with clips of the New York show at MCU Park, where "Take U There" was performed with live vocals from Kiesza for the first time. The music video takes a trippy turn with wacky Disclosure — like drawings over their faces and cartoonish animations overlaying the two DJs and singer dancing. You can tell it was pretty DIY when the police stop them for filming the video in the street. It shows the carefree and fun-loving attitude from these three, via "Spin."
