Sam Smith f/ Kim Petras "UNHOLY" (Floria Sigismondi, dir.)

Probably not safe for work, but "Unholy" lives up to its title with Sam Smith, Kim Petras, and an audacious group of dancers getting as freaky as they wanna be in a stage show at a unique spot called The Body Shop.

Dua Lipa "Swan Song (From Alita: Battle Angel)" (Floria Sigismondi, dir.)

Dua Lipa uses this tie-in to sci flick Alita: Battle Angel to make our post-apocalyptic future look way sexier and more fabulous than it will likely be. But, Dua Lipa has effect on most things.

Lawrence Rothman "Montauk Fling" (Floria Sigismondi, dir.)

Depending on your age and geography, Montauk either brings to mind images of Hamptons preppy chic, or the working-class fisherman enclave that it was for so long (or, if you're Mick Jagger, you think of Memory Motel).

Catholic League President Bill Donohue On David Bowie "The Next Day"

Not a surprise that the new David Bowie video "The Next Day" has stirred up controversy. We have Bowie as a prophet, Gary Oldman as a Bad Priest and Marion Cotillard as a blood-spurting Mary Magdalene.

But, kudos to the Catholic League President Bill Donohue for rebutting the video with something even more offensive. I bolded the best bits. See below.

David Bowie "The Next Day" (Floria Sigismondi, dir.)

David Bowie - The Next Day (Explicit)

Talk about a tough gig. David Bowie is the prophet providing some rock 'n' roll at an underground religious shindig for those who like to mix a lot of sin with their salvation. Guest stars include Gary Olman as an ass-kicking and ass-appreciating priest, and seductress Marion Cotillard, who brings the festivities to an unlikely hault when she gets unexpectedly hit with a case of Stigmata.

Justin Timberlake - Mirrors

Memories get distorted as if reflected in a funhouse mirror in this ode to enduring love. The centerpiece is an old, synchronous couple who visit a fun house of memories, remembering the ups and downs that brought them closer together, but they pass the ring onto Justin TImberlake for the last last third of this 8+ minute clip so he can navigate his own maze of mirrors.

David Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

The siren song of rock 'n' roll comes calling again for David Bowie, tempting him from his "nice life" with his lovely wife into something filled with more madness and more sex. Can he resist? Well, we already know the answer to that, but director Floria Sigismondi brings the mixed emotions to the surface in this slightly NSFW video starring Bowie alongside Tilda Swinton as his wife.
