WATCH: Zooey Deschanel Gets Bluesy With Joseph Gordon-Levitt!

Two of my favorite actor/musicians Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt show off their vocal ability and infectious cuteness in a YouTube video where the two cover a 1947 jazz song, “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?”... The New Girl star played the ukulele while the "50/50" actor played the guitar. What a great performance!

I WANT A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS!

A couple of years ago, the world was stunned when ANYA MARINA did an amazing cover of TI's hit single "Whatever You Like". Today, she's back with another cover song just in time for the holiday. The song was "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas", a 1953 song originally performed by an artist named Gayla Peevey.

Truly a beautiful voice and amazing talent! Nice one, Anya!!! =)

OWL EYES: PUMPED UP KICKS

It’s no secret how much I love the original but I am just dumbfounded by how stupidly good this cover actually is by up ang coming Australian artist Brooke Addamo and her band OWL EYES. Her voice is amazing and sounds even better live on this awesome cover. Watch it below:

MICHAEL BUBLE: CHRISTMAS album

Canadian crooner MICHAEL BUBLE rings in the holiday season with his new record titled, “CHRISTMAS”. The album includes such holiday classics with guest performances by Shania Twain on "White Christmas" and The Puppini Sisters on "Jingle Bells." Also included in the CD is a new song "Cold December Night," a Bublé penned original written for the record. "It's always been my favorite holiday and I knew that one day I would record the ultimate Christmas record. I wanted it to sound and feel very authentic -- pretty much like a live studio album. I'm very proud of it." says Buble.

Oh man! Nobody sings Christmas tunes like our man Bublé!
Check out this favorite track off the album:


On the week ending 10 December 2011,
CHRISTMAS rose to number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 album sales chart, becoming Bublé's third chart-topper following 2007's Call Me Irresponsible and 2009's Crazy Love. It's also the second holiday set to top the charts this year, following Justin Bieber’s “Under The Mistletoe". =O
