Meghan Trainor – “NO” Music Video

Leave a comment
Meghan Trainor of "All About that Bass" fame premiered a music video for her new single "No" today. "No" chronicles the tale of a young woman at the club who's being courted by a plethora of men who just can't take NO for an answer. Trainor has come under fire for giving mixed messages in her music, is she promoting female empowerment with hits like "Bass" and "Walkashame"? Or she is mocking the feminist movement with songs like "Dear Future Husband" and "3am"? Trainor has previously stated that she did not consider herself a feminist, but has since grown into the issue, stating:
“That was me at 20. I hadn’t read enough about it. I’d been told: ‘Don’t say you’re something if you don’t know what it is.’ So I was like: ‘Well, I’m not a feminist,’ because I didn’t really understand it and then I was like ‘Oh, s**t!' Obviously I am a feminist. My songs are women’s anthems across the board. Some people don’t get it, and I’ve had girls on Twitter writing: ‘I hate you,’ and calling out some of the lyrics that I wrote.”
So she was 20 and made an uneducated statement and has since educated herself, kudos for admitting your faults girl! There are many young women in the public eye that don't consider themselves feminists because it's an unpopular term with a lot of negative connotations, but that's another article for another time. For now I leave you with some stills from the video. Though I have to admit, I'm getting a bit of mixed messages myself between all these outfits and dance moves. What is this long gold jacket? Why are these ladies in this electric plant? What is happening with this fishnet Bob Fosse number? I'll just chalk it up to being too old to understand pop music anymore...

Britney Will Dance ‘Till The World Ends’… Or For 30 Seconds

Leave a comment
Britney Spears debuted her newest music video today, for Till The World Ends, which should be said is a slightly better song than Hold It Against Me, but taking into account the nauseating amount of brain power it takes to get it unstuck from your mind's playlist, it's probably about equal to anything Rebecca Black could give birth to. (Jesus Christ that was a long sentence.) That being said, I'm sure I'll be singing and dancing to this song by the weekend. Brit's video tells the tale of the fated date in the not so distant future, December 21, 2012, when the Mayans predicted the world will end. Brit is held up in a basement with a few of her most beloved back up dancers, grinding up on one another waiting for apocalypse to come only to realize, upon poking her head out of a manhole, that the sun has come up and indeed she will see another day as a 30 year-old (that's how old Britney will be in 2012.) [vodpod id=Video.5930037&w=425&h=350&fv=] Now we all know that ever since Britney went a little cray-cray, she hasn't been the same pop princess she was in her "virgin" years, but someone took extra special care to cut out all the real Britney dance sequences of her latest vid to prove it. Below is the whole 30 seconds of Britney gyrating to prove, once and for all, that Britney Jean Spears can no longer cut a rug. It's really sad, but we all have to face the music (pun intended) some day and realize that Britney is way too drugged up to shake it like she used to. Either that or she's a drone and they haven't figured out how to give robots rhythm yet. God I hope I can still shake my ass when I'm closing in on my third decade of life. And for reference and good measure, here's Britney in her dancing years. Skip to 1:18 for some serious dance skillz. See the difference?

Katy Perry’s E.T. Music Video

Leave a comment
The music video for Katy Perry's E.T. featuring Kanye West premiered on MTV.com today and being that I've dedicated many a post to MissKaty I just had to comment. Now I could have gone with a headline that read "Katy Perry's E.T. Is Out Of This World" or something equally repulsive, but that would be both tacky and untrue. Granted, E.T. is lightyears beyond Firework, both in music video and songitude, but I have to admit that I was expecting something a wee bit more than what I got. Katy Perry only has three costume changes, four if you count her alien transformation, and she's basically a little flowy ball orbiting while Kanye West has the occasional angry outburst while holding his crotch (typical).

ET, posted with vodpod
Something I will give MissKaty credit for is proving me right. E.T., along with Lady Gaga's Born This Way and Britney Spears' Hold It Against Me music video, is just putting a big fat "right" on my forehead for all the world to see. In my Futuristic Feminist post I talked about the move of female artists into the future. And mark my words, you're going to see more of it. The transformation from tarty little girl pop stars to androgynous and beautifully deformed future ladies is only going to be more pronounced in the coming year. But we'll leave that for later, for now, just enjoy the E.T. picture book I created for you! We cannot display this gallery

Ke$ha’s BLOW Music Video: It’s A Unicorn Massacre Y’all

Leave a comment
Another Ke$ha music video, another Ke$ha music video roundup picture book! In her music video for Blow, which is aesthetically and auditorally (?) superior to We R Who We R, Ke$ha is seen in a Kla$$ier light; dining with unicorns in tuxedos, drinking champagne and getting into a laser gun battle with James Van Der Beek. There were a few cringeworthy moments in this video, mostly having to do with Ke$ha's acting ability, but it's nice to see she doesn't take herself too seriously. Side Note (To Ke$ha): Hey girl, stick to what you do best (i.e. drinking brown liquors, being dirty and using auto-tune) and leave the acting to the professionalbeeks. There's really nothing more to say about this, that wouldn't be better expressed through pictures. I give you... a unicorn rainbow massacre! We cannot display this gallery Jump for bigger, non moving pictures! Continue reading Ke$ha’s BLOW Music Video: It’s A Unicorn Massacre Y’all →

Rihanna’s S&M Music Video & The Futuristic Feminist

1 Comment
Rihanna's music video for S&M hit the web today, and I have to say, for someone, who's not a huge RiRi fan, I am really diggin' this jam. And by dig I mean I've already watched the video at least a dozen times, hoping that the replays of the kinktastic video wouldn't deter my coworkers from being my friends! This video is hot, it was shot by Melina Matsoukas, who also directed Rihanna's Rude Boy video. This chorus just melts me,
Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it Sticks and stones may break my bones But chains and whips excite me
The music video depicts Rihanna, in all sorts of colorful getups, involved in a sadomasochistic relationship with the media. And as in any good S&M relationship, the couple that is Rihanna and the media hounds switch up the role play; in one scene, Rihanna is bound in cellophane at a press conference, in the next she's taking her gagged pet, blogger Perez Hilton, out for a walk. In an interview with MTV's Sway, Rihanna talks about her the song and says it's not about sex, it's a metaphor. From the looks of her video I'm assuming she's calling the relationship between celebrity and media sadomasochistic. She describes the song as rebellious, in-your-face, and unapologetic, and that is exactly how I would describe The Futuristic Feminist. [vodpod id=Video.5484919&w=425&h=350&fv=] What is the Futuristic Feminist? I'm glad you asked! The Futuristic Feminist, is a a trend, a new wave of female artist (mostly scene in popular music) that is overly sexual, ostentatious, witty, shocking and statement making. We've seen this trend is several female artists; Lady Gaga is probably the most direct in her approach, Nicki Minaj introduced the Hip Hop community into the future, Christina Aguilera tried to with Bionic (but she's too old), even Ke$ha (with her We R Who We R music video) and Katy Perry (with her California Gurls style) have dabbled in Futuristic Feminism. As we continue along the path of technology = life, we see this idea reflected in the styling of popular artists. We believe we are in the future, so the Futuristic Feminist styles herself as she would envision her futuristic form. Part feminist, part robot, she uses her sexuality as a means to gain attention for her cause; she is the literal definition of a Fembot. No doubt, this trend will continue, and I'm not going to talk about who started it (I know all the Little Monsters out there will swear it was Lady Gaga) but there were innovative female artists before her and there will be innovative female artists after her. The important thing is that these female artists will continue to try and one-up one another, which is really just a great thing for everybody. The drooling sperm-producers of the world will get to stare with open mouths and trousers at the hotness that is the Futuristic Feminist, and she'll get to subtly implant her message across the globe! I love it when we're sneaky! This video is so gorgeous, of course it would have it's own gallery!

ADAM LEVINE Gets Naked For Ball Cancer

Leave a comment
So the lead singer and frontman of Maroon 5, Adam Levine, took it all off to help raise testicular cancer awareness and to encourage men to get screened. And I couldn't think of any better way to make gay men and women want to get checked out! If the goal of these photographs is to encourage men to get screened then I think they've failed because these are clearly intended for a female audience. I don't know, maybe the people behind them hope that the girlfriends, wives and platonic female friends of the world will bitch and nag the men of their lives into getting screened because Adam Levine got naked in that one add and we think ball cancer awareness is sexy! I just have two words: I WANT! I believe it was William Shakespeare who said it best:
See how he leans his junk upon her hand? Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that junk!
I'm really just thinking about that poor hand model that's bent down behind Adam assuming the rusty trombone position. She looks like she needs a break... One more for the road? Why not?! Via Dlisted

What a year it's been! 2010 was Radioactive Cookies' inaugural year and I think we did a pretty great job! Since it's inception on February 24, 2010, RadCooks has received almost 30,000 hits and I couldn't be happier! In honor of the New Year, we of course need to recap all the amazingness of 2010.

VAJAZZLE With A "J" & VAGAZZLED aka Swarovski Pubes: Let's not forget my Vajazzled posts! The pair, tied for 5th place were some of my very first posts! Though I can't take all the credit, I have to give a shout out to Bryce Gruber who took one for the team and had her lady garden bedazzeled on camera! MissBleecker's Top 5 Posts 1. KATY PERRY: The Ironic Feminist: Who could forget my massive and incredibly late Katy Perry post? Not only was this one of my most extensive posts but it was also one of the funnest. Let's not forget it introduced Prof.PurplePants! 2. CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S "NOT MYSELF TONIGHT": A Lesson In Radical Feminism: One of my top rated posts, NMT was a great song that I felt was seriously underrated. And of course, I'll always have a spot in my heart and on my glob for my #1 girl Christina Aguilera! 3. AUTO-FELLATIO: Sampling Your Own Pancakes: Oh auto-fellatio, you almost made it into the top 5!

Let's not have the same fate for Oscar Watch 2011! 3. MissBleecker Goes To Washington: I was on a bus for 10 hours in one day, I missed all of my friends, I wore cookies on my breasts, and I came home to keep the party going for Halloween as Ke$ha and you still didn't read my post?! 4.

Check them out to see what personality type is your best match according to me! 5. “THE RUNAWAYS” REVIEW: Men, You Can’t Stomach This Kind Of Gore: Now I will admit, having seen The Runaways, it was not the best movie of the year, it wasn't the worst either. It just didn't get much recognition either way, as my review did. However, I attended a screening with Joan Jett and she had some insider scoop that any rock 'n roller would love to read! Well there you have it, the Best Of RadCooks Lists 2010! I hope you all had a great year! I can't wait for 2011, I'm sure it'll be as disastrous a year in pop culture as 2010 was!

Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R” Music Video

Leave a comment
[vodpod id=Video.5031758&w=425&h=350&fv=] Ke$ha just tweeted her new music video for the irritatingly repetitive and infectiously catchy tune called We R Who We R, off her new album Cannibal. Now there's a lot going on in this video, so I felt it best to summarize in a form meant just for Ke$ha, by way of picture book. So clicky click the icons below and enjoy!
