Lady Gaga Accounts For 25 Percent of Vevo's Traffic

Vevo is barely a couple of months old, but it is already proving quite popular, at least in terms of traffic.

OK Go Defies Its Label, Puts Video Up on Vimeo Against EMI's Wishes

If you want a clear example of just how convoluted the entire music industry is right now, it doesn't get any better than the latest video from the band-turned-Internet sensation OK Go which YouTube helped make famous.

Vevo Already the No. 1 Music Site in the US

Online music is growing at a healthy pace with YouTube clearly dominating, but other players like Hulu, at least in the US, are coming strong from behind.

Vevo Launches, Already One of the Biggest Video Sites in the US

The label-backed music video site Vevo has finally launched and it's off to a good start, in terms of traffic anyway.

Music Videos Available Soon on Hulu

There are several big trends in the web space at the moment and one great emphasis has lately been on media content, be it video or music.

EMI and Warner Music Said to Be in Talks with Vevo

The online music video is about to get a lot more contested.

MySpace Gives Up on Social Networking, Launches Dedicated Music Video Site

MySpace as a social network has pretty much lost the race. In fact the social network's CEO is the first to admit it, though reluctantly, but says that MySpace is now focusing on an entirely different space aiming to become an entertainment hub rather than a place to connect with friends. The social network is n...

Vevo Secures Funding from Adu Dhabi Media Group

Online video isn't exactly the most lucrative business yet and it isn't one that's particularly easy to become successful in.

Life Post Celebrity Sex Sucks

We all enjoy a good sex scandal - it may be sordid, it may be immoral, but once word gets out of a celebrity illicit affair, there's no stopping the rolling snowball. Let's imagine that a famous actor by the name of... say... Ralph Fiennes decides to have sex while on a plane with one of the on-duty steward...

Tila Tequila's Semi-Porn Video

I always thought that a girl (OK, woman) that goes by the stage name of Tila Tequila can only be a stripper or a trashy reality TV "star". Turns out, my intuition functioned and I didn't let myself down this time - but I only guessed two of this lovely lady's areas of employment, so to say. Truth is, the Si...

Porn or No Porn, Heidi Montag WILL Be Famous!

In fact, why stop at Madonna? Let's all eat our hearts out, tear off our clothes, stop taking baths and essentially behave like the most miserable of mortals because there's a new Hollywood star out there taking the world of entertainment by storm, and try as we might, none of us have even the most remote c...

Sex Tape Skills On The Beach

Watch out, Rihanna, step aside Leona Lewis - there's a new hot singer in town, and she's kicking a*s. I think it's a pity she only launched her first single a few days ago and she's not in the running for this year's Grammy Awards. She would have been a sure winner. But no worries, she'l...

Marilyn Manson Is A Sick Money Thrower

Marilyn Manson - remember him? Well, yes, how could we forget. Dita von Teese's former husband and just about the one person you would not like to come face to face with at night in a dark alley seems to have added foul play to the already long list of things he's been blamed for. The singer is apparently q...
