The video was premiered on the Hunger TV blog – of course it was – and features lots of moody shots of models cutting hair and such like.

There’s an interview on that page too, if you’re interested. WARNING: it’s just a little on the pretentious side.

The song is out on July 14, with the album ‘Samson & Delilah’ due out at some point in September.

“I was working with Britney actually at the end of the year,” he explained to The Source. “She had me come on X Factor show and do something with her, so we’ll see what happens if we get a chance to work together.”

He then just started listing people, basically.

“I am working with Mariah, I am working with Jennifer Lopez. I just finished a couple songs with Jessie J over in London and I also wrote a couple of songs that are being considered for Rihanna’s new album, so there’s a lot of good stuff happening so we’ll see.”

Blimey.

He also missed off that list The Saturdays and Kylie, but we’re sure that was just because of temporary memory loss.

A DJ in America, who is a close personal friend of the ‘DOA (Death of Auto-Tune)’ hitmaker, emailed to congratulate him and the wife, only to get a reply that read: ”It’s not true. The news is worse than blogs”.

So there you have it.

In that case, where is this bloody album?

Bad news: the subhead basically says “despite being a pop vagrant”.

Other suggested Seventeen cover stories:

THE WANTED
Nice hair – shame about the new video but oh well!

THE SATURDAYS
Great new single – obviously the TV show’s not coming back LOL!!

ONE DIRECTION
World at their feet – pity about Louis’ sock allergy but that’s probably the least of his worries right?!!!

NB: The press release for this is all quite serious and says we need to include the phrase ‘For more on the girls from LITTLE MIX, go to www.seventeen.com/littlemix and pick up the Little Mix June/July issue of Seventeen, on newsstands at Wal-Mart stores nationwide on May 21st’, so there you go.

The joyous news was delivered via Twitter by Rochelle’s husband, Capital FM DJ Marvin Humes.

This morning we welcomed our baby girl Alaia-Mai Humes..Mum is doing great & baby is amazing! We are both overjoyed! Thanks for your love x

The gift of life, ladies and gentleman.

You’ll need to click on the speaker logo thing and then just press play on the pop-out player.

‘Et voila’.

It’s not exactly a massive departure from her previous work, but nice enough.

According to Capital FM, the band has moved the UK dates of its ‘Overexposed’ tour, which was due to ‘kick off’ in June, to 2014.

A statement blamed the usual pesky “unforeseen scheduling conflicts” for the changes and said fans could get a refund for their tickets if they apply by the end of June.

Adam Levine or someone pretending to be him for the purposes of a press release had this to say on the matter:

“We are truly sorry for any inconvenience we have caused our fans and promise that when we come over in January we will put on a show to remember! We can’t wait to play in the UK again.”

Here, for your convenience, are the new 2014 UK dates:

• LG Arena, Birmingham – January 8, 2014
• O2 Arena, London – January 10 and 11, 2014
• Manchester Arena, Manchester – January 13, 2014
• The Hydro Arena, Glasgow – January 14, 2014

Last night he tweeted, “Did “Standing on the Sun” or “Grown Woman” leak? I just got a email and it said NO ONE and it’s 2 MP3′s,” before confirming it was the full version of the former by quoting lyrics that don’t appear in the H&M advert.

How odd.

Anyway, here are the Vines.

‘Grown Woman’.

‘Standing On The Sun’.

This rush to judge seems particularly unfair when it comes to struggling independent artists like Pitbull and J.Lo who, operating outside the mainstream, will rarely enjoy the luxury of royalties from worldwide music sales and airplay.

So please don’t see this guide to the product placement in Pitbull and J.Lo’s ‘Live It Up’ video as any sort of criticism. See it instead as a celebration. A celebration of two artists who are just doing what they have to do to get their important message out there.

What you’ll see below is each instance of product placement, along with any details we consider pertinent, plus an estimate of how much each deal will have brought in for J.Lo and Pitbull.

Here goes!

Brand: Swarovski
Notes: Sometimes product placement can look a bit crowbarred-in, but according to their website, “through the mastery of poetry and precision Swarovski Crystal continues to be the market leader who meets people’s desire for adornment and delight”. And who can argue with Pitbull’s reputation for poetry and precision?
Estimated revenue: $8.99

Brand: Nokia
Notes: This is sadly not up there with The Greatest Nokia Pop Video Product Placement Image Of All Time. Disappointing.
Estimated revenue: $27.50 and a Nokia stress toy

Brand: Ice
Notes: We like the way the time on this watch is the same on the phone. Good attention to detail.
Estimated revenue: $2.99

Brand: Argos
Notes: Argos have been struggling to reinvent themselves for a young demographic and this subtle promotion for their new range of self-assembly clothes rails is both relevant and aspirational.
Estimated revenue: $7

Brand: France
Notes: Pitbull certainly likes to travel – that’s why they call him ‘Mr Worldwide’. And when we say ‘they call him’ we mean ‘he calls himself’, but the point still stands.
Estimated revenue: $15

Brand: Jessops
Notes: As UK readers will know, the high street photographic ‘emporium’ has had a tough time of things recently, but the recent arrival of Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Peter Jones could be just what the doctor (OR PHOTOGRAPHER!) ordered. Peter’s fascination with celebrity was laid bare when he invested in Hamfatter a few years ago, and we applaud the forward-thinking nature of his choice to go with J.Lo and Pitbull to help rescue Jessops.
Estimated revenue: $75 and 20% of the business

Brand: Bird’s
Notes: Bird’s is another company struggling to make sense of its legacy in the digital age, and they’re keen to shake off custard’s old-fashioned image. Here we see Bird’s attempting to reposition custard as a high-end cosmetics product.
Estimated revenue: $3

Brand: Totalscaffoldingsupplies.co.uk
Notes: Totalscaffoldingsupplies.co.uk are among the most forward-thinking of all the UK scaffolding suppliers and their entry into the pop market could be crucial to the company’s future.
Estimated revenue: $40.03

Brand: Scaffoldingdirect.co.uk
Notes: This one won’t please Totalscaffolding.co.uk. THIS WON’T PLEASE THEM ONE BIT. Especially when they see how much less their rivals paid.
Estimated revenue: $40.00

Brand: Grape Marketing Board
Notes: The controversy surrounding so-called ‘grape apartheid’ has given grapes a bit of an image problem in recent years, so this shot of green and red grapes in the same bowl is an important step in the right direction. Sadly, it’s worth noting that the green and red grapes are very much separated within the bowl – a sad fact that could mean that the Grape Marketing Board’s original aim backfires.
Estimated revenue: $9 and a year’s supply of grapes

Brand: Beluga
Notes: Obviously when it comes to vodka Beluga isn’t a patch on delicious Voli, but when you see how much they paid to be in the ‘Live It Up’ video you’ll see why Pitbull put his own business interests to one side!
Estimated revenue: $28

Brand: Tits Marketing Board
Notes: This is just the latest promotion in a lengthy partnership between Pitbull and breasts. If you look back on previous Pitbull videos you’ll notice some VERY VERY SUBTLE examples of women not wearing very much. This is because Pitbull is a business visionary and not just the sort of man whose persistent lecherous gaze would get him thrown out of most nightclubs if he weren’t a popstar.
Estimated revenue: $80.08

Brand: Rymans
Notes: Well Theo Paphitis was hardly going to let his Dragons’ Den rival Peter Jones get all the glory! Here we have an example of Rymans’ exciting new clipboard. Despite this clipboard’s very brief appearance in the video, the key message is still communicated: it’s got a clip on it, and it’s a board.
Estimated revenue: $1

TOTAL REVENUE: $337.59

In summary

Like we said above, many people still think product placement is ‘naff’ or equates to ‘selling out’, but what you have to remember is that there is no way Pitbull and J.Lo could have afforded to make a video without this $337.59. And if they can help a few great brands out along the way, what’s the problem?

Justin was collecting the first ever Milestone Award when some members of the audience started booing him.

The award, voted for by fans, recognises artists who have passed particular chart milestones (ie was made up so Justin could get an award). Justin Bieber is the first artist under 19 years old to achieve five number one albums in the US.

According to Digital Spy, Bieber soaked up the ‘mixture of applause and booing’ before responding with characteristic modesty: ”I’m 19 years old. I think I’m doing a pretty good job.”

“From my heart I really just want to say it should be about the music, about the craft. This is not a gimmick. I’m an artist and I should be taken seriously.”

Which is fair enough really isn’t it.

You can watch Justin’s appearance for yourself here if you like.
