Funny Video Raises Awareness For Testicular Cancer

Posted in: , , , , ,

Testicular cancer is technically a men's issue, but it affects us all when it affects the men we love, because a diagnosis can affect the entire family. For this reason, I love this video which is raising awareness, and doing it in such a fun and real way too. If you're a woman reading this, feel free to share to the men in your life, and remind them to go for screening too. Men may be procrastinators, but they do listen to the women they love.

Rihanna debuted the new music video for single ‘FourFiveSeconds’ with Kanye West and Paul McCartney last night and it already has over 3 million views on VEVO.

Kanye was singing again, and this time, I don't feel like telling him to stick to rapping. McCartney was masterful on the strings, and the whole thing just pulled together smoothly. The single will be performed live by the threesome at the 2015 Grammys this upcoming Sunday, February 8!

The official music video for Sia's "Elastic Heart" just came out yesterday and is directed by the singer and songwriter herself, with Daniel Askill.

And though the film starts out disturbing - I thought they were naked and he is 28 while she is preteen - it is surprising touching by the end.

Both music videos share the same young actress wearing the same nude outfit and a platinum blonde wig. Watch below...
