On The 6th Day of Christmas (2012), CCD Gave To Me...

Sometimes we have to give the newcomers some shine, and there was no bigger newcomer to the celebrity scene than Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen. The British Columbia native was discovered by Justin Bieber and the Biebs helped get her number 1 hit song 'Call Me Maybe' out there... and the rest is history. The song became a smash, the melody is undeniably addicting, and ole Carly Rae is not anything to bad to look at. In fact, I think she is gorgeous. Loving the bangs kiddo.  here are a few candid shots of Ms. Jepsen from the 2012 holiday season. Enjoy the pics after the jump...

'Call Me, Maybe' Sung By The Cast Of Star Wars

Carly Rae Jepsen's pop masterpiece 'Call Me, Maybe' is a juggernaut of a song that is probably the catchiest tune ever written. Hear it just one time and the simple lyrics & melodic tune will be embedded into your brain forever. But part of the reason the song is sticking around so long is because of the variations that people are coming up with in various parodies around the 'Net. I have seen Cookie Monster, Barack Obama, and many others supercut into singing the catchy tune, but nothing comes close to this epic supercut featuring the extensive cast of the Star Wars saga. My favorite part has to be the second verse when they go into subtitle mode and bring in some of Lucas's original alien languages. Pretty cool video after the jump....

Just Another Reason Why 'The Roots' Are One Of The Best Bands In The Business

While The Roots are known as being hip hop giants and pioneers for their integration of live instrumentation, most people do not realize just how musically talented these guys are. They are often called "The hardest working band in show business", and they proved their musical merits to me the other day in a very unconventional way. They are the live band on Jimmy Fallon's talk show every night, and the other day the musical guest was Carly Rae Jepsen. She sings that catchy "Call Me, Maybe" song and is quite cute... but I digress. Before they filmed the show, the Roots joined Fallon & Jepsen in the green room for an impromptu rendition of "Call me, Maybe"... but they played the song with an assortment of kindergarten school instruments!!! They absolutely killed it, and it is great to see such a group of serious musicians having so much fun incorporating kazoos, a small xylophone and tambourines into a pop recreation. Just another reason why The Roots are better than everyone else at what they do. Click after the jump for the full video...
