Mark Salling, best-known as Puck on the hit musical series Glee, is briefly on hiatus from the show while he works on the release of his album Pipe Dreams.
The music video above is for his single “Illusions,” and (bummer spoiler alert!) he doesn't take his shirt off once.
Fans who expect Mark Salling to sound like Noah Puckerman will probably be disappointed. As a musician, Salling is distinctly different from his Mohawked Glee persona.

At one point and time, Christina Aguilera was crediting her hubby for inspiring songs like "Ain't No Other Man." Now, Jordan Bratman is reportedly being blamed for bringing down his estranged wife's career.
According to a report, Christina -- who recently filed for divorce from Jordan after nearly 5 years of marriage -- thinks Bratman is at least partly responsible for the disappointing response to Bionic.
"She feels that he held her back when she wanted to focus more on her career," an insider claims.
Uh-huh. Kind of makes you wonder how she found so much time to film that major acting role of hers. (Burlesque, co-starring Cher, opens this Thanksgiving.)

Quote of the Day: Elton John on Awful Songs of Today
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Pop,
"It's important they (pop stars) write their own songs, so they're not at the mercy of anyone. Songwriters today are pretty awful, which is why everything sounds the same. Contemporary pop isn't very inspiring."

See Willow Smith Whip Her Hair in New Music Video
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music Videos, Hip-Hop & Rap,
If you’re going to member of the Smith family, there are two things you better learn how to do: act and sing. Fortunately for Willow Smith, she can do both.
At just nine years of age, Willow -- the daughter of actors/singers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith – has already nabbed roles in several films (I Am Legend, Kitt Kittredge). She also has secured her own record deal. Seriously.
“Whip My Hair,” the first single from Roc Nation's newest artist, is Willow’s way of expressing her individuality. “You can’t be afraid to be yourself and you can’t let anyone tell you that that’s wrong. My mom and I are very strong individuals and I just know that because lots of people don’t act like themselves so they’re not happy,” she explained.
If you like what you heard, you can purchase the song when it hits iTunes on October 26. Until then, make sure you also check out Karate Kid’s Jaden Smith – Willow’s big brother – singing with Justin Bieber.

T.I. Talks Down Potential Jumper
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Hip-Hop & Rap,
Musician T.I. helped save a life on Wednesday. The recording artist was listening to Ryan Cameron’s Atlanta radio show on V103 when he heard the news about a man preparing to jump off the downtown building from where the show is broadcast.
T.I. called Cameron and asked if he could help. The DJ advised the recording artist to come on down to the building. There, T.I. spoke to police and recorded a video message for the suicidal man. Police officers played the video for the potential jumper, who agreed to come down after watching it. The man was greeted by T.I. in the lobby.
In the video, T.I. said “Nothing is that bad. Nothing in life is worth taking your life. I’m here to help you. Please come down to talk to me.”
Cameron says that no one in the building will be pressing charges against the would-be jumper.

Diddy says singing on Last Train to Paris was difficult
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Upcoming Releases, Hip-Hop & Rap, R&B / Soul,
Diddy admitted singing on his new album was “nerve wracking”. The hitmaker - best known as a rapper and businessman - said his move to showcasing his vocal prowess on new album ‘Last Train To Paris’, released by his new group Dirty Money, was particularly daunting. He told NME: “There’s definitely nerves. It’s nerve wracking because there’s more singing for me, and being on tour with bandmates. You have a new concept, and it took people a while to buy into it. But as we’ve started performing they’ve started buying into the concept. And now people have expectations.”
Diddy - who is joined in the group by singers Kaleena Harper and Dawn Richard - added returning to the music industry after a four year break, some people have forgotten how strong a back catalogue he has. He said: “I think a lot of times people forget how many hits I’ve had. I take pride in having hit records that still play in clubs now. I take people on a musical journey, and when we bring that up to date, it just gets more intense.”
