Perhaps it’s appropriate that, as the East Coast braces for Hurricane Irene this weekend, Rihanna releases her new music video for “Cheers (Drink To That),” a breezy, tribal party-rock song that samples Avril Lavigne’s “I’m With You” and serves up a nostalgic toast to summer. We see behind-the-scenes shots of sailing, drinking coconuts and clinking cups of what looks suspiciously like Kool Aid. Not that it’s keeping us from Cheering, and Drinking To That, though — especially not on this weekend.

Justin Timberlake’s New Music Video, Comes Back In FreeSol’s ‘Hoodies On, Hats Low,’ (WATCH)
Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake may be having fun with the whole actor thing but he has assured fans that he is not quitting music.
And now, he’s made good on his word–well, sort of.
In the midst of transitioning between romantic comedy star and action star, Timberlake tweeted a FreeSol video, “Hoodies On, Hats Low.”
The pop-star-turned-actor directed the video and appears in over half of it, though he isn’t doing a whole lot of singing.
He snaps his figures to the beat, whispers the refrain and plays air drums but mostly, he looks like just chaperoning.
Regardless, happy to have you back, Justin!
Denise Richards’ Lesbian Experience: ‘We Were Curious’ (VIDEO)
Denise Richards
Playing to a lot of people’s fantasies, “Wild Things” star Denise Richards dished on her lesbian experience on an appearance on Howard Stern Tuesday night. The ex-wife of Charlie Sheen goes into details about the affair in her new tell-all book, “The Real Girl Next Door.”
While an obviously piqued Stern attempts to dig out the identity details — “I’m going to name everyone in Hollywood!” — Richards remains coy, saying only that “You would know who she is.”
“I just met her through friends and work and stuff… I was just curious. We were curious,” she tells Stern.
“She was a girly-girl. She’s beautiful.”
Chloe Lattanzi, Olivia Newton-John’s Daughter, In S Suhockingicidal Music Video
Chloe Lattanzi
It’s a mother’s worst nightmare — Olivia Newton-John’s, to be more specific.
In the new music video for her single, “Play With Me,” the 25-year-old daughter of the “Grease” star, Chloe Lattanzi, slithers about in deep-set makeup and proceeds to undertake a shocking string of suicidal, self-mutilating acts. She electrocutes herself while soaking in a bathtub with toaster ovens, radios and hairdryers, plays with exacto knives, shows off wrangled, bruised arms and poses with a gun to head, all the while singing “Never knew love would taste like this.” She cries in blood tears, then appears to snort cocaine and blow the dust straight into the camera’s lens in a single poof.
For the record, we think the song is sort of catchy in a NIN, Evan Rachel Wood-during-her-Marilyn-Manson-phase way, even if we don’t really believe her when she sings “Play With Me.” (Or maybe we’d just rather not play with her, thank you.) But for all the typical teenage angst depicted in the film, the graphic component is aggressively morbid, and has drawn fierce criticism from her native Australia, according to The Improper.
“This simply glamorizes a range of harmful behaviors and does nothing to help empower young people to cope [with] relationship problems,” President for the Australian Council for Children and the Media Elizabeth Handsley told the website.
Lattanzi has defended the video, calling it a form of “‘artistic expression” to the website WAtoday.com.au and has since released a follow-up video, “Thank You To All The Fans And Haters,” on YouTube.
