Jared Leto and director Elliott Lester have seemingly figured out how to transform music videos into event for Leto's band 30 Seconds To Mars. Their 2006 clip "From Yesterday" was a big-budget extravaganza shot on-location at The Forbidden City in China. That feat gets one-upped with the band's new video "A Beautiful Lie," shot in the Arctic in order to directly show his fans the effects of global warming. Co-director Elliott Lester shares the adventure in this In Depth...

In bad news for casting couches, video sharing site Motionbox.com has teamed with Placebo and the Capitol Records Group to collect footage for the band's next video. Fans are being called upon to film and then submit single-camera shots of themselves singing Placebo's new single, "Running Up That Hill," in its entirety.
