The Key of Awesome takes on Em & RiRi’s “Love the Way You Lie”…with children

Hilarity, Music, Video, , , , , ,

The Key of Awesome, the comedy group behind the amazing Ke$ha “Tik Tok” parody, takes on the hit single from Eminem’s Recovery.  Lil’ Megan Fox and Tiny Dominic Monaghan do a great job at spinning the domestic-violence theme of the original music video into a cute story between two school children in an ongoing argument.  And credit must be given to the actors for hilarious impersonations of Eminem and Rihanna.  “Did you just call me a doo-doo pie?  Well that’s alright, I know you are but what am I?”  Good stuff.

Music video: Rihanna – “Rockstar 101” (Featuring Slash)

“Rockstar 101” is the fourth single off Rihanna’s latest album Rated R.  In the music video we find Rihanna, well, living the life of a (sexy) rockstar.  At one point she even dresses up as Slash (who lends guitar licks to the track), top hat and all.  Also, look out for drummer Travis Barker.  The video was directed by Melina Matsoukas who also headed the videos for “Hard” and “Rude Boy.”  The visuals, per usual, are slick.

Rihanna graces the January cover of GQ Magazine, and it seems that she forgot to wear a top.  Fine by me.  In the GQ interview she talks about her split with abusive ex Chris Brown.  “It’s relieving because it was built up for so long, and all these thoughts and emotions have been running through my mind for the past eight months.  And now it’s like I finally get to let go and move on.”  She also says, “I wanted people to move on with me.”  Oh, I’m moving on with you alright.  I mean…your new album Rated R is great!  Check out an additional (and even more revealing) shot of Rihanna in the gallery below.

Graffiti, Chris Brown’s next studio album release, is set to drop December 15.  “I Can Transform Ya” is the first single.  It features Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz.  Choreography rocks.

Rihanna’s fourth studio album, Rated R, releases November 20.  “Te Amo” is an unconfirmed single off the album.

I like mostly what I hear and more what I see.  It will definitely be interesting to see how these two climb back to the top.  I have a feeling it won’t be too difficult for them.
