Tonight is the premiere event of the two-part miniseries Bonnie & Clyde starring Holliday Grainger and Emile Hirsch simulcast on three different networks (History, A&E, and Lifetime). In honor of the story of America’s most notorious outlaw couple being retold on the small screen, I thought I might gather together some of the best musical tributes to Bonnie & Clyde from over the nearly eight decades since they went on their headline-grabbing crime spree that lasted for years before both were shot and killed in an ambush in Bienville Parish, Louisiana on May 23, 1934.

VIDEO: Katy Perry’s “Unconditionally” teaser clip stars a bad-ass owl

ByStarcasm Staff

Katy Perry released a visually rich and romantic video teaser for “Unconditionally,” and while there’s a lot of period costumes, and snow, and melodramatic dancing, and a very emotional Katy, the true star is an owl who will f**k you up if you mess with Katy’s heart. I think that’s what’s going on.

VIDEO PHOTOS Blake Shelton lost tapes and amazing hair found

ByDarren O

Blake Shelton is one of the biggest country music stars on the planet right now. With hits left and right, his celebrated marriage to fellow superstar Miranda Lambert and his popular run as a coach on The Voice, it’s pretty darn clear the world can’t get enough BS (see what I did there). Just like 99% of those who are fortunate enough to be where he is, Blake started on the bottom — just a kid from Oklahoma with a 6 string, a dream and Weird Al’s haircut apparently! In some gloriously vintage video recently found and released by KFOR, fans can get a look at Blake before he hit it big.

Katy Perry says too many female pop stars are playing the naked card

ByDarren O

As of late, it seems like it’s been a competition to see which female pop star can out naked-sexy the other. From Rihanna’s stripper-inspired “Pour It Up” video to Britney’s S&M whip-wielding, in which the singer admitted it went too far and she had to edit over half the footage, on “Work B**ch” and, of course, Miley Cyrus’ demolition machinery swinging in the buff, many have chimed in on the current state of sex and commerce for female celebrities. Now one of their own, Katy Perry, has tossed in her two cents worth in regards to a perceived need to tone down all the nudity. Read on for Katy’s thoughts on playing “that card” and if a singer who got headlines for sexing up Sesame Street too much was the right person to be speaking out on this.

ByStarcasm Staff

After suffering the gut-punching blows of a surprise divorce via text message, pop princess Katy Perry thought her next album was going to be dark, maybe even acoustic. When the first single “Roar,” an anthem about picking yourself up and winning, came out it was obvious that wasn’t happening. Katy still goes to some dark places on PRISM: “Ghost” mentions that divorce text in the first line, and in the final song “By the Grace of God,” Katy talks about contemplating suicide.

Sinead O’Connor advises Miley Cyrus not to prostitute herself in searing open letter

ByDarren O

When Miley Cyrus recently discussed her controversial and extremely successful music video for “Wrecking Ball” she stated that Sinead O’Connor’s classic video for her hit “Nothing Compares 2U” was a major inspiration. At the opening of the clip that’s apparent, with the tight face shots and expressed emotions but then the video morphs into sledgehammer licking and nude swinging on demolition equipment. O’Connor had apparently been contacted by a number of reporters asking what her take was and the candid Irish star decided to answer with a searing open letter that pulls absolutely no punches. Get some seriously quotable highlights from O’Connor’s opinion that Miley’s making a huge mistake prostituting herself and if you have the time we’ve included the entire letter. WOW!

Check out these wonderful musical videos as I present to you my kid and I’s top 5 favorite (so far).
