Jon Hamm randomly and sleazily stars in Aimee Mann’s new music video for “Labrador,” which is filmed as a remake of Til Tuesday’s 1985 hit “Voices Carry.” The video begins with a “behind-the-scenes” look from the Mad Men star, who portrays the song’s real writer and director, Tom Scharpling. Confused yet? Mann plays along in the video, basically saying she was duped into obliging the director. With that debonair mustache, it’s hard to fault the singer-songwriter. Watch the weirdness below (plus the original song for comparison): Aimee Mann – Labrador Til Tuesday – Voices Carry
Ready to judge The X Factor judge? Having already gone through pretty much every color in the rainbow, Demi Lovato debuted a new hairdo on Twitter last night, changing up her look by bringing back a few bangs. Or, to paraphrase Eminem, as the singer did herself along with the photo: Guess what’s back, back, back, back again….. BANGS are back, back, back tell your friends… Do you like the style? How does it compare to Lovato as a redhead ? Or Lovato with pink extensions ? Or Lovato with dark locks ? Indeed, it’s safe to say Demi is unafraid of change. What do you make of the bangs?
Kim Zolciak is cashing in on young Kash Kade. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star is featured in the latest Life & Style , cradling her newborn son and dishing on becoming a mother for the fourth time. “It was the easiest pregnancy out of all of them!” Zolciak tells the tabloid. “I had a couple of weeks in the beginning that were really rough, but then it was great.” Kim and husband Kroy welcomed their first son, K.J., in May 2011 and got married six months later.

Michael Bay ‘s juggernaut of a sequel Transformers: Dark of the Moon didn’t just spank Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts at the box office; it handily seized the title of the biggest domestic July 4 opener of all time from previous champ Spider-Man 2 and should hit $116.4M over the four-day weekend for a $181.1M domestic take. On top of that, Transformers 3 is performing even better overseas than in the U.S. of A. — and it has yet to open in Transformers -loving Japan. Bow to our robot overlords!
Will X mark the judging spot for Nicki Minaj? Insiders tell The New York Post that Simon Cowell has met with this hip hop star about coming on board The X-Factor this fall as a judge. She would join recently-announced producer L.A. Reid on the panel if she agreed to make the move. “Simon thinks Nicki is fantastic. She’s sassy, she looks great and she has bags of personality,” a source tells the newspaper . “Nicki has a large following and she fits well with the ethos of the show, which plans to usher in a new generation of musical talent.” Auditions for The X-Factor kick off on March 27. This would be an unusual gig for Minaj to accept, considering her current popularity. Most singers join a reality show to revive a career (see Aguilera, Christina on The Voice and Lopez, Jennifer on American Idol ). Other names under consideration include Tommy Mottola, Nicole Scherzinger and Cheryl Cole . [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
He admits its a stretch, but Chris Brown says he hopes his new album F.A.M.E. , which drops tomorrow, sells a million copies in its first week of release. “I wouldn’t consider it jinxing myself, but I always dream big,” he said . “I would love to do like a mill the first week, honestly. And that’s really pushing, and I know that’s pushing, but I’m happy with anything I sell.” “If I sell 100,000 like last time, I’m cool. My last album, Graffiti , was only 100,000 the first week, but it was a lot more added to it back then.” Brown says these are more optimistic times for him, saying “right now it’s a more comfortable position. People are accepting the music now.” “I would love to just solidify that, as much as ya’ll wanna keep talking about stuff, bringing stuff up, ya’ll can’t stop (me and) my music.” “A handful of people stuck by me,” Chris said, referring to the Rihanna scandal and the two-year backlash he’s endured, rightfully or not. “But when [most] people see certain things happen to somebody, they turn away . They don’t want their name attached to anything negative.” [Photo: Fame Pictures]

Sources say the former Spice Girl will give birth to her third baby this summer. She has a 12-year-old daughter named Phoenix and a three-year-old daughter named Iris from previous relationships. “We’re really thrilled,” Brown told Great Britain’s Hello Magazine . “We wouldn’t have planned and waited for four years to have a baby if we weren’t excited and ready for it.” Interestingly, Brown’s former singing pals, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham, are also pregnant. Forget “zigazig ha.” Looks like what these women want, what they really, really want, is to have a family. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
