Kim Kardashian Music Video "Jam" Leaked Online
It was the video Kim Kardashian didn't want the world to see.
No, not her sex tape.
A clip of the music video for her first (and only) single, "Jam (Turn It Up)," has leaked online five months after the highly-autotuned pop song first hit airwaves.
In it, Kardashian does more crawling on the floor than actually singing, as the camera continually zooms in on her infamous derriere.
When she does mouth the lyrics -- "Turn me up, turn me up, turn me, turn me, turn me up" -- the newlywed is dripping in sweat, soaking her white top.
A closeup of Kardashian licking her lips also keeps popping up, almost subliminally.
No word yet on whether the entire Hype Williams-directed video will ever see the light of day or if a full-length album will also be released.
Austin Power's Star Sentenced To Life In Prison
A former on-screen villain could spend the rest of his life in jail after being found guilty of a horrific real-life crime.
Joseph Hyungmin Son, 40, who played Dr. Evil's sidekick "Random Task" in the first "Austin Powers" movie, was convicted of torture last week in connection with the 1990 abduction and gang rape of a 20-year-old California woman.
The Orange County woman was walking her dog on Christmas Eve and looking at holiday lights in the neighborhood when she was snatched off the street and attacked, KTLA reported.
Son was accused along with one other suspect of holding the victim at gun point and raping her numerous times as well as sexually assaulting her with the weapon.
The victim's lawyer claimed the assailants then released the woman naked with her pants tied around her eyes.
Son wasn't arrested in connection with the crime until 18 years after the incident.
In 2008, after violating probation on vandalism charge, he was charged with numerous counts of assault when his DNA was found to match a sample from the victim.
Many of those charges were ultimately dropped due to the amount of time that had elapsed since the alleged incident, KTLA reported.
Son is slated to be sentenced on September 19, and faces 15 years to life in prison.

Janet Jackson Not To Attend Michael Memorial Concert Conflicts With Trail Dates
Janet Jackson said Monday she won't attend a planned tribute concert for her older brother Michael in Wales because the show coincides with the trial of a doctor charged in the King of Pop's death.
The singer's one-sentence statement to The Associated Press does not criticize the show, as her brothers Jermaine and Randy have done, but cites the court case as her reason for not attending.
"Because of the trial, the timing of this tribute to our brother would be too difficult for me," her statement reads.
Her statement was released on what would have been her brother's 53rd birthday.
Organizers of "Michael Forever - The Tribute Concert" have struggled to line up top-name acts and have been criticized by fans and the late singer's estate for multiple reasons, including its costly tickets, timing and remote location.
The show is scheduled for Oct. 8 in Cardiff, Wales, and the singer's mother, Katherine, and some of her children are scheduled to attend.
Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson, and Cee Lo Green are the top-names listed as performers so far. Organizers had to rescind an offer to the band Kiss after fans and Michael Jackson's estate noted that singer-bassist Gene Simmons had harshly criticized the pop singer over the years.
Opening statements in the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray are scheduled to begin on Sept. 27. Murray, who has pleaded not guilty, could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
Authorities allege he gave Michael Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives in the bedroom of his rented mansion on June 25, 2009.

Beyonce Performs "Love On Top' VMA 2011 MTV Awards
She rubs her belly at the end and get's Jay-Z all teary eyed. Congrats to the expectant couple.
Adele 2011 VMA Performace "Someone Like You"
Adele performs "Someone Like You" and is simply breath taking in this performance.
Confirmed: Beyonce Is Pregnant!!! Congrats To Hov!!!
Destiny's child, indeed!
Fans worldwide were floored -- and thrilled -- when Beyonce unexpectedly announced her pregnancy at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in L.A. Clad in a loose, red Lanvin gown, the singer, 29, first rubbed her belly and told photographers the big news outside the show venue; later, after a joyous onstage performance of "Love on Top," Beyonce unbuttoned her sequined D&G jacket and playfully rubbed her tiny bump once again. In the audience, dad-to-be Jay-Z (her hubby of three years) beamed as pal Kanye West congratulated him.
And the first-time dad Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter), 41, is just as pumped. "Jay is ecstatic and over the moon," the insider says. "He really wanted this so badly."
So far, the Grammy-winning duo haven't found out the gender of their first child -- and are keeping other details close to the vest. "They barely told anyone...They kept it really secret until they were sure," the pal explains, "and now she simply couldn't wait to tell the world!"

Retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Offers To Pay Jersey Shore's "The Situation" To "NOT WEAR" Their Clothing!!!!
Abercrombie & Fitch wants The Situation to leave its clothes in his dirty laundry pile.
The neo-preppy retailer is offering to pay the 'Jersey Shore' star not to wear its clothes because they're afraid his buffoonish image is sullying its brand.
'We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image,' the retailer said in a statement.
'We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans,' the statement said.
A&F said it offered Sorrentino 'a substantial payment' to wear other brands, and also made the offer to the rest of the show's cast.
Linda Perry Of "4-Non Blondes" Refers To Katy Perry's Music As "Crap Music"!
They may have the same last name, but that's where the similarities end with Katy Perry and Linda Perry.
The 4 Non Blondes rocker is no fan of the "California Gurls" singer.
In an interview with music journalist Heath Daniels, Linda compared Katy's music to making "microwave popcorn."
"It's just different, it's different," Linda said. "You listen to the Adele record, and I'm not a huge fan of Adele, it's a solid record. A solid record, and it's selling. OK? so that means people are still buying records.
"It's the crap, like who wants a f---ing Katy Perry record? I'm sorry, you know? You're gonna get the two songs that are probably the hits that are good, but the rest of the album is gonna be crap.
"It's going to sound like s--t and who cares about buying that record?" Linda added. "So people download the single and then that's it."
Linda's position is interesting, considering that Katy just tied Michael Jackson with five No. 1 singles off the same album and the fact that Linda wrote songs for pop tarts like Britney Spears, Christina Aguelera and Pink.
In fact, she wrote nine out of the fifteen tracks on Pink's 2001 album "Missundaztood" and four tracks off of Aguilera's "Stripped."
Linda blames the quick-money mentality of music as "part of the reason the music business is in turmoil," even though she is responsible for hit-makers who helped inspire and make way for the likes of Katy.
It's not all claws from Linda, though.
"She's great for what she does. But she's not reinventing the wheel, she's not giving substance. She's just giving, you know, microwave popcorn for you to feast on right at this moment. You know, that's it.
"And that's what she wants to do obviously. She's not looking to change the world musically, she's not. So all the power to her and everybody that is like that."
Katy took the shots in stride, writing on Twitter: "Good sherlock holmes listeners know there's LOTS of interesting info in them songs!!!"

Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith To Call It Quits After 13 Years Of Marriage?
LOS ANGELES - Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are separating after 13 years of marriage, In Touch Weekly is reporting.
Reps for the seemingly solid superstar couple have not commented.
The pair have two children together, actor son Jaden, 13, and budding pop star daughter Willow, 10.
Pinkett-Smith also is step-mother to Smith's son from a previous relationship.
The couple met in 1990 when Pinkett-Smith auditioned to be her future husband's girlfriend on "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air." She didn't get the role, but the couple became friends and eventually married on New Year's Eve 1997.
Smith, 42, said in 2008 that divorce was off the table.
"What I found is divorce just can't be an option," he told Ellen Degeneres. "It's merely that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. There are so many options. So a huge part of the success for Jada and I is that we just removed the other options."
The two shot down reports they had an open marriage and often discussed their active sex life."Be sneaky … your girlfriend's house at a party. The bathroom. A bedroom," Pinkett-Smith told Redbook magazine in 2009. "Have a fantasy date. Be his secretary! Pull over on the side of the road."
They also admitted a romp in a limousine on the way to the Academy Awards in 2010.
"Will started looking at me in this way that drives me wild," she told Shape magazine. "Well, let's just say we missed the red carpet, and I ended up with almost no makeup on."
But Pinkett-Smith, 39, confessed to Uptown Magazine in June that she enjoyed time apart from her action hero spouse.
"People think that Will and I don't spend a lot of time together. Too much time, actually, if you ask me," she said. "It's always nice to have a little time apart. Sometimes you need that."
Legendary Musician Nick Ashford Of "Ashford & Simpson" Passes At 69
Nick Ashford, who with his wife Valerie Simpson wrote some of Motown's most powerful love duets, died Monday in a New York hospital.
He was 69 and had been undergoing radiation treatments for throat cancer.
Ashford and Simpson wrote Motown's two favorite "Ain't" songs, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing," along with "You're All I Need To Get By."
They also had a long singing career, scoring their biggest chart hit with 1984's "Solid (As a Rock)" and later settling into a long run at clubs and cabarets.
They also owned several restaurant/clubs, including the 20/20 on W. 20th St. and the Sugar Bar on W. 72nd St.
They were a DJ team for several years on WRKS (98.7 FM), playing the kind of music they wrote and sang.
Ashford, a tall imposing man whose signature hair was long, was known as a gentle presence in the music business.
Nickolas Ashford was born in South Carolina and grew up in Michigan. He moved to New York in the early 1960s with $57 in his pocket, hoping to make it in show business.
He was attending Harlem's White Rock Baptist Church when he met Valerie Simpson, a New Yorker who sang in the choir and also had musical ambitions.
They recorded together briefly and unsuccessfully in 1964 as "Valerie and Nick," but had more success with writing songs - which at first, said Ashford, they sold for $75 apiece.
Their first big hit was Ray Charles's "Let's Go Get Stoned," which hit the top 10 on the R&B charts in 1966, and soon after they signed to Motown.
Besides songwriting, they also produced most of Diana Ross's first three solo albums and worked with artists that included Teddy Pendergrass, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson and Chaka Khan.
Ashford did a few solo projects, including some unsuccessful singles and the very successful production of the 1968 Supremes/Temptations collaboration "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me."
Still, he and Simpson remained a team, and they got married in 1974. They had two daughters.
They had disco-era hits with "Send It" and "Street Corner" and wrote "I'm Every Woman," which Whitney Houston sang in "The Bodyguard."
Simpson, who did most of the composing while Ashford wrote most of the lyrics, later said it was "like pulling teeth" to get him to write "I'm Every Woman," but that it was worth the effort.
Ashford later had a few acting roles, including The Rev. Oates in "New Jack City."
His and Simpson's songs have been sampled in recent years by artists like 50 Cent. They received a writing credit for Amy Winehouse's 2007 "Tears Dry On Their Own" because so much of the melody was lifted from "Ain't No Mountain High Enough."
Ashford is survived by his wife and their two daughters.

BREAKING NEWS - Amy Winehouse Had No "Illegeal Substances" In Her System After Autopsy
Perhaps Amy Winehouse didn't overdose after all.
One month after she was found dead in her London home, the "Rehab" singer's family has announced that toxicology tests have come back -- and they prove Winehouse had no "illegal substances" in her system when she passed on July 23.
Still, that doesn't rule out any legal prescription drugs prescribed to her at the time.
The family's spokesman Chris Goodman also says that "alcohol was present" in her system, but it has yet to be determined what role, if an, it played in her death.
The statement also said the family is awaiting the outcome of an inquest that will begin in October.
Winehouse, who had a long history with drugs and alcohol, was discovered in bed by a bodyguard on the afternoon of July 23. It was reported that she had been dead up to six hours.
Although several reports suggested Winehouse went on a drug and alcohol binge the night before after buying cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and ketamine, a police source told the Sun that no drugs or paraphernalia were found in Winehouse's North London home.
In addition, the Grammy-winning singer had been examined by a doctor that night as part of a routine checkup - and she seemed to be in fine health.
"The doctor was happy with her condition," a source told The Sun last month. "When he left on Friday night he had no concerns. Less than 24 hours later she was found dead."
Winehouse's father, Mitch, has said his daughter had beaten her drug dependency three years before her death, but he admitted she was still struggling to control her drinking after several weeks of abstinence.
He told mourners at the singer's July 26 funeral that she had said to him, "'Dad I've had enough of drinking, I can't stand the look on your and the family's faces anymore.'"
The Winehouse family announced plans to establish a charitable foundation in the singer's name to help people struggling with addiction - although Mitch Winehouse has said the plans are on hold because someone else had registered the name Amy Winehouse Foundation.
