will.i.am (ft. Britney Spears) – Scream & Shout

/ / Music News & Reviews

Here is “Scream & Shout,” the third single released from will.i.am’s 2012 collaborative album #willpower. Both the electropop/dance track and video feature Britney Spears, a heavy use of auto-tune on the vocals, and the recurring lyric “Britney bitch.” Directed by Ben Mor the video has received mixed reviews for its style that includes visibly impressive shots but no clear narrative. The song is definitely catchy enough to be a club hit but not memorable enough to stay with you after leaving said club. I’m more impressed with the sleek look of the video that (somewhat) manages to recapture Spears’ long-dormant sex-appeal.

As Rayna (Connie Britton) continues to work with her new producer (Michiel Huisman) on refining her new sound, Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) deals with the unexpected consequences of dating a young football star (Tilky Jones) when fans and tabloids begin to blame her for the quarterback’s less than stellar stats since the two began seeing each other (making it even more difficult not to draw comparisons to Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson‘s relationships with Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo from which the show’s writers were obviously inspired). Both women are shocked, and less than pleased, when the record label insists the pair perform together to close out the upcoming country music showcase.

Justice League #14

/ / Comics

justice-league-new-52-14-coverThe Justice League chases the Cheetah to the jungles of the Congo where Superman becomes infected by the curse and Wonder Woman is faced to deal with truth about the woman she once believed was her friend.

The “end” of the Cheetah story is a little awkward, especially given that it appears the super-villain’s plan was to be taken captive all along (and wasn’t searched for any transmission devices before being put in prison). Superman also take Diana home to Smallville for a little more mid-air smooching, which doesn’t go unnoticed by another member of the team. It will be interested to see where this storyline goes now that Batman knows about their relationship.

The Shazam! back-up story works a little better than usual as it is focused on Black Adam journeying out into the world with Dr. Sivana rather than the truly awful (not to mention unrecognizable) version of Captain Marvel that DC has presented us with as part of the New 52. Seriously, this character is already in serious need of a reboot. For fans.
