FUN. FT. JANELLE MONAE “WE ARE YOUNG”

By Lyric | January 3, 2012 | Music | No comments

After having their song “We Are Young” be covered on Glee (and becoming Season 3’s biggest hit on iTunes), pop-rock group fun. score another major solid by nabbing Janelle Monae for the single’s video.

Janelle, whose voice appears on the tune, stands right in the middle of the slowest-moving club fight you’ve ever seen. (Though we wouldn’t have minded if the band just remade their first set of visuals for the song and had Janelle in bed, slowly peeling an apple.) Join the fun. in the Marc Klasfeld-directed video below.

Actor Brian White steps out with his wife during the ESPY Awards week!

The couple that everyone hated on (you know the whole Black man marrying non-Black women controversy) is still going strong. His wife Paula Di Silvia seems to have put on a few pounds, could she be preggers or is that optical illusion of a dress she’s wearing adding 10 punds to her frame?!

I’ll make sure to Tweet Brian and ask him!!

Well, I guess Elle learned their lesson from Vanity Fair’s “all-white” issue and put Precious on the cover of their magazine ..

Did Gabby’s hairstylist take one to the head before he took to her head?

According to FOX NEWS, the October issue of Elle magazine is the 25th Anniversary issue and to celebrate the milestone, they are profiling 25 women under 25 on four different covers. The magazine selected the top four stars under 25 (even though one is actually already 25 and another is 27, but who’s counting, except for us and maybe everyone else): Gabourey Sidibe, 27, Amanda Seyfried, 25, Megan Fox, 24, and Lauren Conrad, 24.

Janelle Monae was all smiles as she left the BET AWARDS after party at Cecconi’s!!!

I’m sure the reason why was because she ripped it on stage during the Prince tribute … unlike her counterpart Trey Songz who completely messed up “Purple Rain!” There’s something about Janelle that makes me want to be friends with her! LOL! Am I the only one??!!
