Katy Perry - ET featuring Kanye West Music Video and Lyrics

Singer Katy Perry recently launched the music video of her song "ET" which features rapper Kanye West.

On this video, Katy Perry's makeup transformed her into an extraterrestrial with reptilian eyes, blue liptick, and floating around in Viktor & Rolf gown.

In an MTV interview, Katy Perry shared how hard the shoot was for her.

"It was, like, five and six hours, each makeup look," Perry said. "It was hard for me! It was really a patience thing for me on this video. But, you know, it's like when you're doing a film. Sometimes you have to do prosthetics, and you have to get really old or turn into an animal or a monster — and that's kind of what this process was."

However, people can't help comparing the brand new music video of Katy Perry to that of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way".

The LA times reportedly said the video was "unoriginal".

"What she does do well is to absorb everything she sees around her and then present it in an ultra-shiny package that never takes itself too seriously."

Check out music video below and judge for yourself:

Let me add the lyrics here as well.

Katy Perry - ET Lyrics

You're so hypnotizing
Could you be the devil? Could you be an angel?
Your touch magnetizing
Feels like I am floating, leaves my body glowing

They say be afraid
You're not like the others, futuristic lover
Different DNA
They don't understand you

You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

You're so supersonic
Wanna feel your powers, stun me with your lasers
Your kiss is cosmic
Every move is magic

You're from a whole other world
A different dimension
You open my eyes
And I'm ready to go, lead me into the light

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

This is transcendental
On another level
Boy, you're my lucky star

I wanna walk on your wavelength
And be there when you vibrate
For you I'll risk it all

Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me
Infect me with your love and
Fill me with your poison

Take me, ta-ta-take me
Wanna be a victim
Ready for abduction

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial, extraterrestrial

Boy, you're an alien
Your touch so foreign
It's supernatural
Extraterrestrial

Wonder Woman 2011 costume redesigned | Blue boots turn red

When the first design of the new Wonder Woman costume surfaced online, it resulted to an outrage from fans. They say it looked like a cheap version of a "sexy" Halloween outfit.

It seems like the producers were listening. In a set of the TV series in Los Angeles, the new Wonder Woman Adrianne Palicki was seen with a pair of red boots (not blue) with no more high hills and a more natural looking pants instead of the shiny one.

Check the photos of the first (left) and the new design (right) below:

Jackie Chan died of heart attack? | Jackie Chan Death Hoax 2011

To those who are alarmed with the trending topic on Twitter "RIP Jackie Chan", here's what you need to know.

It is only a rumor which started after online reports quoted a source from a Los Angeles hospital who said actor Jackie Chan died while promoting Kung Fu Panda 2. The reports said his heavy schedule "was causing extreme stress and putting too much pressure on his heart." It also said U.S. President Barack Obama had issued a statement with his condolences and MTV was planning a special memorial for Chan on Friday.

Jackie Chan's rep has denied the reports that Jackie Chan died of heart attack by posting statements on Jackie Chan's Facebook fan page and Twitter account.

"Jackie is fine and busy preparing for filming his next movie," his Facebook page said.

"Jackie is alive and well. He did not suffer a heart attack and die," "@EyeofJackieChan" tweeted Tuesday morning.

Jackie Chan is not the only actor who has been a target of a death hoax. Justin Bieber, Gordon Lightfoot, and Jeff Goldblum have also been falsely reported dead but of course they are pretty much alive still.

Lea Michele, involved in hit-and-run car accident!

"Glee" star Lea Michele was involved in a hit-and-run on Friday in Los Angeles.

The 24 year-old actress was on her way home after work at around 2 a.m. when she was hit by another car.

People magazine reported the star “was not injured and is fine.”

“Couple of drunk girls hit her, got out of the car, giggled that she was famous, said something like ‘are you drunk, too?’ Then they drove off,” a 'source' told the magazine.

The actress was able to jot down the driver’s license plate number and contacted the police.

This is not the first time Michelle got herself into a car accident.

In a recent interview, Michelle revealed she was involved in a “massive car wreck” minutes before she auditioned for “Glee.”

"For my second audition I got into a massive car wreck, left my crashed car in the street and ran into the audition with cuts and glass in my hair,” she said. “And then on the final audition, I had the worst neck ache from the car accident," the actress added.

American Idol 10 says 'goodbye' to Ashton Jones | Thia Megia saved!

Last Thursday, the Top 13 contestants of the 10th season of the talent search "American Idol" performed a song from their favorite artists. Immediately after the live episode, viewers were given a chance to vote for their picks - to those who does not know this happens every 'performance night' where its results will determine who gets to be eliminated from the show the next episode, the 'results night'.

During yesterday's 'results night' episode, the 'bottom three', the three contestants who got the least number of votes, were announced. They were Ashton Jones, Karen Rodriguez and Haley Reinhart. Ashton Jones who sang the Diana Ross song "When You tell Me That You Love Me" was sent home.

This means that Filipino-American Thia Megia got enough votes to be in the competition still. However, I hope that she would perform better next week and develop a more lively and interesting character so that she'll go along way in the competition.

One of the contestants, Casey Adams, was not present during last night's episode since he was hospitalized. Adam Lambert and Diddy-Dirty Money also guested the show last night.

What happened to Clint Jun Gamboa in American Idol 10?

I have been religiously watching the show American Idol 10, lately. I got more excited about this season since two Noypis (Thia Megia and Clint Jun Gamboa) did great on their auditions and they were both selected by the judges to be in the Top 24. Last night's episode, though, which revealed the Top 13 finalists, one of them (Clint Jun) got eliminated and was not even given a chance by the judges to perform for the 3 wildcard slots - the show's viewers voted for the 10 Finalists and the judges chose 3 wildcard contestants.

Oh well, since I think Clint Jun performed well, I think the reason he was voted off from the talent search would have to be the Hollywood Week - Group Round incident. Some viewers must have hated him after he dismissed the charming 15 year-old Jaycee Badeaux from their group during that round. (Read more HERE.)

I am sorry for him. But yeah, Thia is still there! I hope she would do better performances in the next episodes since other contestants are really great as well! She so mahinhin, so Filipina but she should be a little lively I guess since she is still so young.

:D

Vanessa Hudgens stars in the new movie Beastly where she is playing the role of uncool high school student named Lindy who gets attracted to bad boy character Kyle played by hearthrob Alex Pettyfer.

The 22 year-old actress who is best known for her character in High School Musical, understands why her character in Beastly fell for Kyle.

"I feel like a lot of girls think it's easier to go under the radar, to not really stand up and let their true selves be known," Vanessa told MTV. "And I feel like when that happens, a lot of girls look up to guys who embody that, who are just truly out there and, of course, my character falls for that, as a lot of other girls would.”

Vanessa has been single since her break-up from her longtime boyfriend Zac Efron last December. She was seen recently though with Josh Hutcherson at a Los Angeles party which sparked romance rmors. Vanessa and Josh are co-stars in the movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

Maria Aragon cries while talking to Lady Gaga over the phone

A few days ago, Lady Gaga shared on Twitter that she cried over a cover of her newest single "Born This Way" by the 10-year old Filipino-Canadian Maria Aragon on Youtube.

"Can't stop crying watching this. This is why I make music. She is the future." Lady Gaga tweeted on February 17 which was also posted on her Facebook Fanpage.

She added a link to Maria Aragon's Youtube video on that post and shortly after, the video received an enormous amount of views. In fact, as of this writing the clip is nearing 9Million hits, just 4 days after it was posted!

Recently in a Canadian radio show, Lady Gaga and her "little monster" Maria were able to talk to each other via phone patch. Maria did not help but to fall into tears when her idol started talking to her. Gaga also invited Maria to perform with her in one of her concerts. :D

Here's the video of their conversation:

Thia Megia, Clint Jun Gamboa advance off to final round of Hollywood Week (American Idol 10)

The Filipino pride Thia Megia and Clint Jun Gamboa are doing well on their quest to be the next American Idol.


During the third round of the Hollywood Week of American Idol Season 10 where they have to perform solo, Thia and Clint captured the hearts of the judges once again with their impressive performances.

The 15-year old student Thia Megia performed her rendition of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World". While Clint Jun Gamboa, a 26 year-old Karaoke Bar host, showed his confidence doing his cover of the classic "Georgia on my Mind".

They both got the judges approval to be sent off to the final round of the Hollywood Week. They are now a step closer to be one of the Top 24 finalists who will perform before live audience and broadcast.

Half-Filipino Clint Jun Gamboa off to next round of American Idol 10

If you're wondering if the asian-looking guy Clint Jun Gamboa who belted out the song "Get Ready" during the group round of the Hollywood Week in American Idol Season 10, is a Filipino?


Yes he is. I read this on the comments of his old Youtube video when someone asked him his roots even before he joined the singing contest. He said he is Half-Pinoy. Check his Youtube channel HERE.


The karaoke host and his group in the second round of Hollywood Week got a little controversial when they dismissed 15 year-old Jaycee Badeaux since the latter cannot catch up with their choreography. Jacee ended up searching for a new group while fighting back in tears.

It was a good call for Clint's group since they were able to deliver one of the best performances of this round. Clint was shocked though when Steven Tyler asked his groupmates to step forward leaving him behind alone, only to find out that they all made it through to the next round.

Jennifer Lopez said, "Come'on Jun! You know you're going through!"

Clint is off to the next round which will be aired tonight. He has to capture the hearts of the judges once again with a solo performance.
