You have to hand it to the ego-soaked imagination of singer Kanye West, who has debuted what appears to be the longest music video of all time for his song "Runaway." It's not just his Twitter rants that are wild, as you will find after digesting this gem--an art film, really.

Singer Justin Timberlake might say he’s bringing sexy back, but a new lawsuit alleges online pornography companies are using his song to bring sexy a little too far. Eleven record labels including Warner Bros. Records and Atlantic Records have filed a copyright-infringement suit over the use of songs like Mr. Timberlake’s “SexyBack,” Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” and Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop (Til You Get Enough)” by adult Internet sites.

The music industry's decline has been so prolonged that this now qualifies as a man-bites-dog story: Sony says its music sales actually went up, just a bit, in the last quarter. Thank Michael Jackson and Susan Boyle.

While an iPad in the wild--held up by Stephen Colbert--got a lot of ink, here's a video from last night's Grammy Awards, which went all "Avatar" during a tribute to the late Michael Jackson--when a panoply of belt-it-out singers performed one of his posthumous songs with a 3-D twist. In fact, much of the audience was wearing 3-D glasses--including Beyoncé, pictured here--to properly experience the performance of "Earth Song" and its accompanying film, which was supposed to be part of Jackson's "This Is It" tour.

Indie rockers Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte are pioneers in the new VideoSong movement, soon to hit a computer near you. The Stanford University graduates in the summer of 2008 formed the band Pomplamoose, recording high-energy video covers of popular tunes like Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” and Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.”

Google, Microsoft and Yahoo all released their lists of the top search queries for 2009 today and they reveal us to be a nation of celebrity-obsessed, swine flu-suffering, vampire-loving, Megan Fox-ogling, Lady Gaga-humming, World Wrestling Entertainment-patronizing Nascar fans.

Want to get Michael Jackson's new single? You will be able to get it on iTunes this month, contrary to earlier reports. But there's a catch: You're going to have to buy some of the late singer's other songs, too.

After Michael Jackson died, fans flooded iTunes to snap up his music. And contrary to an earlier report, "This Is It," the singer's final work, will also be sold by Apple this month.
