Mary Lambert’s new video for her poignant, powerful “Body Love” truly celebrates all shapes and sizes. “Gay rights and body acceptance are two things I feel very passionately about,” the “Same Love” singer told us on the red carpet at the Ascap Awards, April 23. She felt so strongly about making sure the message was correct that she co-directed the “Body Love” clip herself with Jon Jon Augustavo (who helmed the “Same Love” music video). “There was an element that I absolutely needed to have and that was the mother/daughter aspect. That a lot of what we encounter and how we view our bodies is generational. A lot of times you watch your mother self-deprecate in front of you and you internalize that.” Lambert is now bitten with the director bug, but “songwriting and music is my core right now and what I want to focus on, but I have a lot of aspirations.

Here’s the new ad for sleep-aid “Neuro Sleep,” which apparently is a real thing.
Harris stars in the steamy music video with rapper Problem and singer Asher Monroe to kick off the “Sleep with Neuro” campaign.
The ad comes as a response to Neuro’s survey which asked customers who they’d most like to have a slumber party with. The company reports that 35% of those they interviewed went with Neil Patrick Harris and Neuro happily granted their wish with the help of Macklemore‘s “Thrift Shop” director Jon Jon Augustavo.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us" took the best hip-hop video Vma this year, beating out the likes of Drake, A$AP Rocky, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar.
The "Can't Hold Us" video was directed by Lewis, Jason Koenig and Jon Jon Augustavo, and the song also featured Ray Dalton. Macklemore was the most-nominated artist of the night, with eight nods.
Not everyone was a fan of the "Can't Hold Us" videos, music critic Chris Weingarten slammed the clip in a pre-awards Twitter run-down of nominees:
This year's nominees are notable because they're all relatively young and somewhat new to the scene, with Drake playing veteran to a field of artists profiting from their early studio albums. None of the genre's mainstays -- like Jay Z or Kanye -- were nominated this year.
One Direction hosted the Video Music Awards from Brooklyn's Barclays Center. This was the 30th anniversary of the awards.

Most categories at the MTV Video Music Awards are decided by fans, who vote for winners online, but that is not the case of the VMAs' six Professional Categories, specialized fields where music industry professionals pick the winners. These categories are comparable to the Emmys' Creative Arts Awards, which present prizes like Sound, Cinematography, and Visual Effects apart from the main telecast. Most Vma races come down to which artists can best mobilize their rabid online fan-bases, but since the professional races have different voters, can we expect a radically different set of winners? I size up the contenders below: Best Direction Jon Jon Augustavo, Jason Koenig, and Ryan Lewis – "Can't Hold Us" (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis) Anthony Mandler – "Carry On" (Fun.) Megaforce – "Sacrilege" (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) Director X and Drake – "Started from the Bottom" (Drak...
