Lana del rey-Summertime Sadness Official Music Video

Here u go lana fans....there is the new music video of lana del rey
Lyrics:Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you're the best

I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Got my hair up real big beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feeling alive

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you're the best

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh

I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby, you're the best

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh

I think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning skies
Later's better than never
Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive, drive

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh

Kiss me hard before you go
Summer time sadness
I just wanted you to know
That baby you're the best

I've got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh

Justin Bieber Brings Christmas Concert to Vegas School

It was clear at one Las Vegas school Friday morning that the mid-December chill wasn't cooling down Bieber fever.

Second-grader A'mya Saulsberry and third-grader Mia Godinez were wearing glittery red hair bows and T-shirts emblazoned with teen pop icon Justin Bieber's face as they walked with their grandma to Whitney Elementary School, where Bieber was set to perform a private Christmas concert in the afternoon.

"When he noticed how kind we were and how gentle we were, he wanted to come," Godinez explained, as a Bieber ballad fit for a sixth-grade slow dance piped from campus loudspeakers toward the run-down apartment complexes in the neighborhood.

The 17-year-old star's concert came along with a $100,000 donation to Whitney Elementary, which has garnered publicity for providing needy students' families with food, clothes, money for utility bills - and just about everything in between.

After Bieber announced on a Nov. 1 episode of "The Ellen Degeneres Show" that he would visit to perform songs from his album "Under the Mistletoe," the hundreds of students watching the taping from their Las Vegas school erupted into screams and cheers. One girl is seen jumping up and down, and school officials said some of the students burst into tears of joy.

"For the kids, it shows that someone loves them and cares about them to follow up," Principal Sherrie Gahn told the Las Vegas Sun after the taping. "When you live in an existence where everything seems so hopeless, it's an amazing gift they will never forget. It's beyond their wildest dreams."

Whitney Elementary was first featured on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" in September. The episode highlighted how the school provides a food pantry, clothes closet, free haircuts and literacy training for students' families.

Gahn said more than 85 percent of the school's 600-plus students receive free or reduced-price lunch. The school also has one of the highest homeless student populations in the Clark County School District.

Gahn, who said she used to see students pocketing ketchup packets from the cafeteria in hopes of having dinner at night, told "The Ellen Degeneres Show" she made a pact with families after she arrived about eight years ago.

"I'll pay your electrical bill, your utilities, I'll give you food or clothes, whatever you need, as long as you give me your child and then help raise that child as a person of character," she said.

Families at the school told the show Gahn has stayed true to her promise. One girl said Gahn provided her with a bed. A mother said the principal bought her son glasses. Another mother said the school provided her children with Christmas presents when she planned to skip the gift giving.

Gahn said most of the donations come from individuals or businesses, and she said the show has brought an outpouring of support from across the country. The school also posts a "wish list" on its website, asking for granola bars, pop-top cans of soup and other non-perishable foods that homeless students can eat for dinner or over the weekend.

Bieber's gift matches a $100,000 donation from Target that was announced on the September TV special about the school. That money is set aside to start an after-school program and continue providing services to struggling families.

"My biggest motivator for the kids and the thought and the hope that they don't have to live in this existence when they grow up - that they break the cycle," Gahn said.

Shirley Hernandez, who was walking her granddaughters to school Friday, described the school as special and choked up when she said the students at Whitney deserved the concert.

"It's the best Christmas present they'll ever have," she said.

Reggae Star Buju Banton Appeals Drug Conviction

FilmMagic
Grammy-winning reggae star Buju Banton claims in an appeal of his federal drug conviction there was not enough evidence to prove he was involved in a cocaine conspiracy.

The appeal filed Friday by attorney David O. Markus also says Banton was relentlessly pursued by a federal informant seeking a $50,000 government payday. Markus says that resulted in improper entrapment.

Banton, whose real name is Mark Myrie, is serving a 10-year prison sentence following his February conviction on cocaine conspiracy and trafficking charges. A related gun charge was tossed out by a judge.

Banton is extremely popular in his native Jamaica and won a Grammy for his latest album shortly before his drug conviction.

It will likely be months before the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issues a decision.

Michael Buble's 'Christmas' On Track to Be 2011's Second-Biggest Selling Album

Dean Freema
As we reported on Dec. 14, Michael Buble's "Christmas" album should hold at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a fourth week, so say industry prognosticators.

The set could sell another 450,000 to 500,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Dec. 18. The chart's top 10 will be revealed on Wednesday, Dec. 21.

With 1.52 million copies sold in the U.S. (after only seven weeks on sale), "Christmas" is already the fourth biggest selling album of the year, according to Nielsen SoundScan. At the rate it is selling, it will end up 2011's second-biggest selling album -- behind only Adele's "21," which has shifted 5 million. Current projections from industry sources suggest "Christmas" will finish the year with around 2.4 million.

Just to recap, here are SoundScan's top 10 best selling albums of 2011, with three weeks left to go in the year: Adele's "21" (5 million), Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (2 million), Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" (1.8 million), Buble's "Christmas" (1.52 million), Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party" (1.42 million), Mumford & Sons' "Sigh No More" (1.34 million), Jay-Z & Kanye West's "Watch the Throne" (1.14 million), Beyonce's "4" (971,000), Drake's "Take Care" (968,000) and Lady Antebellum's "Own the Night" (959,000).

But let's get back to forecasting NEXT week's Billboard 200 chart, shall we?

On SoundScan's Building chart below -- a precursor to the final Billboard 200 ranking -- reflecting the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week (ending Sunday) as reported by six major merchants, Buble is -- wouldn't you know it -- at No. 1.

Adele's "21" is in the runner-up slot on the Building tally, followed by Justin Bieber's "Under the Mistletoe" and Lady Antebellum's "Own the Night." The latter seemingly is profiting from a performance stop on ABC's "Good Morning America" (Dec. 14).

Anthony Hamilton's new "Back to Love" might be the only debut in next week's Billboard 200 top 10 -- at least based on a glance at SoundScan's Building chart. Currently, it's perched at No. 5, which bodes well for its chances of a top 10 arrival on the Billboard 200. Sources say the set could sell around 50,000 in its opening frame.

Nickelback's "Here and Now" is at No. 6 on the Building list, while Drake's "Take Care" holds on at No. 7. "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery is No. 8 with "Clear As Day," the Black Keys' "El Camino" is No. 9 and the "Glee, the Music: The Christmas Album, Volume 2" is No. 10. The "Glee" set should benefit from the show's Christmas-themed episode, which aired on Dec. 13 and featured nine of the album's songs.

The Building Chart reflects the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week (which ends Sunday) as reported by six major merchants: iTunes, Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Starbucks, Target and Anderson Merchandisers. Billboard estimates that they make up about 85% of all U.S. album sales.
