Vintage glamor, incalculable luxury, tragedy, and fleeting youth: Everything that is The Great Gatsby and everything that is Lana Del Rey. The polarizing chanteuse recently released the official music video for her original song "Young and Beautiful" for the highly anticipated Gatsby film that hits theaters today.

Looks like it ain't workin' for Ms. Lauryn Hill this year. On Monday, the singer was slapped with a three-month jail sentence with a following three months on house arrest for failing to pay taxes on about $1.8 million in earnings.

Hill's lawyer conveyed that the singer had already paid in excess of $970,000 to settle her tax responsibilities, and sought probation in lieu of hard time. She was facing up to three years in prison, so three months is not as bad as it could have been.

Wedding bells are ringing for rock power couple Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger -- at some point. Lavigne sat down with the true "Queen of All Media" Ryan Seacrest, on KIIS FM's On Air With Ryan Seacrest to chat about their upcoming nuptials and how the adorable proposal went down. But the actual date of the wedding stayed a close kept secret.

Dragged into the interview from the spectator's corner, all Kroeger could say about the big day was, "I can’t tell you [the date] but we’re planning it.” Chad joked, “every man knows we get very little participation in the wedding, and these are goods things. Or else Steel Panther ends up playing.” Considering the oh-so-romantic Steel Panther song that Kroeger was featured on is called "It Won't Suck Itself", it's probably for the best.

Before country singer Blake Shelton became a chart-topping superstar and TV judge, Shelton took any chance he could get to perform on stage. One of those chances? A Valentine's Day-themed beauty pageant in 1985 when he was just 8 or 9 years old! Cue the awwwws.

The eager mini Shelton bounced around the stage like a little Elvis singing Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" as the audience clapped along.

In an interview, Shelton told CBS This Morning's Gayle King, "Because I wanted to be a singer, that was a chance for me to be in the talent portion and sing. There was a spotlight hitting me and it was just this thing that happened when I was a kid and never got over it."

Italo disco legend Giorgio Moroder revealed some interesting tidbits when he sat down with Vice's Creator's Project recently to talk about his part in Daft Punk's upcoming album Random Access Memories. The dancefloor luminary talks about the heyday of disco music, how a horrible bassline remains in Donna Summer's disco-defining hit "I Feel Love", and how the robots are adding a "human touch" to today's dance music.

Let's take a step back for a second. When I think about Daft Punk finally coming out with a new album, I can't help but tear up a little bit. They truly turn my black leather heart into some glowing orb of life force and uncontrollable revelry.

Lana Del Rey's announcement tweet says it all about her freshly released video for her cover of Leonard Cohen's song "Chelsea Hoten No. 2". Simply, "new video".

Seated in a dimly lit room, the chanteuse exhales the lyrics from deeply lined lips with the same intimate sotto voce as the man who wrote them. As her biggest influence, Del Rey in general heavily emulates Cohen's current smoky, trembling singing voice. But her tremble likely comes from a lack of training, while his from a long, profound life.

The beautifully drifting cover fits rather nicely into Del Rey's continual effort to spin an image of tragic glamor. Released on his 1974 album New Sin for the Old Ceremony, the song recounts a sexual encounter of Cohen's while living at the legendary Hotel Chelsea. He revealed the encounter to be with fellow resident Janis Joplin -- a reveal that he later came to deeply regret.

The 129-year-old New York hotel is famous for its storied inhabitants from the 60s and 70s, playing home to

Imagine Dragons have traded puppets for far more nefarious creatures: "Souls". We've got the first exclusive look at the latest trailer for Stephanie Meyer's "The Host" that's set to the sounds of Imagine Dragons' previously unreleased track "Radioactive (The Dirty Tees Remix)"!

Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight sagas, has her latest otherworldly romance come to life with the film adaptation of her book "The Host", wherein rather chic and unscrupulous aliens called Souls have taken over the human race. The trailer intersperses unseen footage from the band's music video for the studio cut of "Radioactive" with some breath-halting clips from the upcoming film starring Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons, and Jake Abel. The Dragons are trapped in a dust-ridden underground prison while "The Host" villains cruise around in completely chromed out sports cars (that, no lie, I've seen on the streets of Miami), but the Dirty Tees raise the kings of "epic" to the next level with its futuristic

Frances Bean Cobain is truly her father's daughter. The 20-year-old scion of Nirvana frontman and grunge idol Kurt Cobain channeled her father when she was out about in Los Angeles last week with disheveled pink hair and round retro shades. Although her father died when she was just a baby, Frances Cobain's likeness to Kurt both in looks and taste is undeniable.
