Katy Perry lets her nerdtastic alter ego Kathy Beth Terry loose in this new music video for “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”. The clip includes a couple of Gleeks (Darren Criss, Kevin McHale), 90s pop band Hanson, sax player Kenny G, Debbie Gibson and Corey Feldman play Kathy’s parents, and then there’s Rebecca Black (obviously). Like most of Katy Perry’s singles this one’s catchy, so beware. Now watch the star-studded video above!

Music video: Katy Perry – E.T. (Featuring Kanye West)
Aliens! Floating in space! It’s got to be the premiere of Katy Perry’s music video for the insanely catchy tune “E.T.” The video is brimmed with sci-fi aesthetics. The video opens with freaky looking alien hovering in zero-gravity space; soon enough it transforms into the pop star. Kanye West pops up throughout the episode, also floating around in a bottomless pit of darkness; his lower row of sparkly teeth light up the scene. Bits and pieces of the song are mixed differently you’ll notice. Perry also throws in a new verse for good measure. Overall the video is just OK since the story it tells is lacking in depth (but listen to the lyrics, was to be expected?); however, Perry put much effort into costume design and makeup and these aspects of the vid were certainly made for impressive eye candy. And now to get this song out of my head…
Single: Katy Perry – E.T. (Remix) (Featuring Kanye West)
California Gurls. Teenage Dream. Firework. Still have at least one of these Katy Perry songs stuck in your head at some point every day? Get ready for another extremely catchy-Katy tune to probe your brain. This week the pop star released an official remix of her fourth single off Teenage Dream. It’s called “E.T.” and she managed to attach rap overlord Kanye West to the bass-heavy track. His second dirty verse includes this rap: “Tell me what’s next, alien sex? I’m-a disrobe you, then I’m-a probe you. See, I abducted you so I tell you what to do.” Yeah, you won’t find the smart quips we’re used to hearing from ‘Ye off his smashing record Twisted Fantasy here, but it’s definitely worth a listen. Better you preview it here first, then decide if you want it for keeps. A music video featuring Perry and West is in the works.
