How can you say anything bad about Sade?…. “Soldier Of Love” is a timeless record and she is beautiful as ever.

video: JAY Z "ON TO THE NEXT ONE" FEAT. SWIZZ BEATZ

Jay-Z released his illuminati-reference filled music video for his new single “On to the Next One,” which features rapper/producer Swizz Beatz and is being dubbed the “first music video of the new decade.” The official video for the fourth single from Jay-Z’s latest album the Blueprint 3 premiered at the stroke of midnight early this morning (Jan 1) on NBC’s Carson Daly New Year’s Eve special.!

UNDERCOVER STUDDED LEATHER JACKET

Easily one of the nicest leather jackets I have seen in sometime. This Undercover Leather Jacket is simple in cut and detail, with a studded shoulder panel, but it’s the amazing vintage finish which makes it stand out. Only 6 of these Jackets have been manufactured for release, so you’ll need to be quicker than normal when they release at Undercovers store on the 2nd January.

new music: TWEET "LOVE AGAIN"

There's reason why musically I fell in love with the Southern Hummingbird Tweet. "Love Again" just solidified that very thought. You would often wonder what she's been up to since her 2005 release of Its Me Again. It seems she's inked a new deal with Umbrella Records & will be releasing her 3rd studio album, Love, Tweet sometime in 2010. I'm rather sure Missy Elliott will be making some guest appearances off this release.

video: JAY-Z "FOREVER YOUNG" FT. MR. HUDSON

Check out the new Jay-Z video for “Young Forever” featuring singer/songwriter Mr. Hudson.

video: RIHANNA FT. YOUNG JEEZY "HARD"

When Rihanna said she was doing "couture military" fashion for her "Hard" video, it was hard to imagine the costumes turning out well. As in, not desperate-looking or vulgar. But as you'll see, the looks much to our surprise aren't nearly as absurd as we imagined. I LOVE the white strong-shouldered jacket The leopard marching-band helmet is fun, almost. The shoulder spikes are a bit much, however, not because they're huge and probably incapacitating, but mostly because they look like they're cut from Styrofoam blocks and spray-painted black- and how about that pink army tank. Check out the official music video for "Hard" featuring Young Jeezy, from her latest album Rated R, in stores now!

music: MARY J BLIGE AND JAZMINE SULLIVAN "GONNA MAKE IT"

design: SUPER S|S 2010 EYEWEAR

Super is gearing up for the realease of their Spring/Summer 2010 lineup. The Italian eyewear brand unveils another silhouette for the new season. The “W” sunglasses draw inspiration from the late 70s design incorporating a continuous one line shape and world renowned Carl Zeiss lenses. 5 colorways are set to drop but classic black takes the cake. Look out for these in the future.

music: SADE "SOLDIER OF LOVE"

Sade is preparing to release a new album in February 2010, and in doing so hasalready released her first single. The album and single are both entitled “Soldier of Love.” This album will be Sade’s first instalment in 10 years, but take nothing away from her because the first signs are impressive.

kicks: SWAROVSKI x ADIDAS JEREMY SCOTT

Collete continues in the spirit of their 'White Crystal Christmas' exclusive with a pair of limited edition Swarovski x Adidas Jeremy Scott Wing Crystal sneakers ($3,697). These Adidas Jeremy Scott Wing sneakers feature leather completely covered with Swarvoski crystals. Collete’s White Crystal Christmas collection will be available from December 7th to January 2nd, but these kicks won’t be around very long. Although the Adidas Crystal winged sneakers are a major investment, one things for sure, with these joints you’ll be the main attraction anywhere you go.

video: TIMBALAND FT. DRAKE - "SAY SOMETHING"

Probably the best track off the Shock Value II album, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

cover: LINDSAY LOHAN FOR MUSE MAGAZINE

Muse routinely produces some of the most noteworthy fashion photography. The new issue out tomorrow is a tabloid editor's dream. Lindsay Lohan landed not only the cover but eighteen pages inside the magazine for a spread inspired by Johnny Depp and Kate Moss's relationship, shot by Yu Tsai. Except Tsai captured not just Lindsay and her Johnny Depp, played by male model Petey Wright, but also threw dancer Sofia Boutella into bed with them. Threesomes and orgies are so hot right now.

cover: SCARLETT JOHANSON FOR HARPER'S BAZAAR

Scarlett looks stunning in her January 2010 spread for Harper’s Bazaar magazine. If her acting career ever goes bad (not to jinx) then at least she has “music” and modeling to fall back on. Triple threat??
