Not Exactly News BUT the video for Rihanna's Hard is...

WOW.

I meant to watch this a few weeks ago when it leaked but how balls out amazing is Rihanna's video for "Hard"? Skillfully shot, effortlessly sexy and with a neat mix of slight plot and supremely fierce fashion, its a masterclass in how to do a big name music video. Take note other popstars. "Rated R" has had a fantastic visual campaign to add to the brilliance of the music and I can't wait to see what RiRi brings for us in the coming year. Apparently Rude Boy is to be the next single for the UK/Ireland presumably followed by this, but until that video surfaces lets enjoy bad ass military chic Rihanna in all her glory:

Ciara "Work" Video : FIERCE times a billion.

Ciara just "dropped" her new video "Work" ft. Missy Elliot this week. And I love it!

The word fierce is a now huge cliche. and this video doesn't really do anything new. But my god, it is good. It gets the frenetic nutty energy of the track perfectly. It feels like an edgy fashion mag photoshoot bashed together with a sexy dance video. Ciara looks STUNNING (the whole Fantasy Ride campaign has felt like a class in "Why Ciara is actually gorgeous") and there hasn't been a pop video with as much jiggling as this in quite awhile. This had better be a smash, and if it does I expect freaky eye wear and Missy's sequin suit to become fashion must haves.

All the ladies on the floor, you betta work:
