Demi Lovato isn't out to break hearts—quite the opposite, in fact! A drama-free relationship is the only thing on the 19-year-old's mind in the brand-new video for "Give Your Heart a Break," the second single from Lovato's latest album, Unbroken, which also enjoys its TV premiere on E! at 8 p.m. But in case that sounds, well, undramatic...remember that less fighting means more time for flirting and steamy kisses! Directed by Justin Francis, the video features a fresh-faced, bed-headed Lovato and a pretty delicious fellow playing will-they-or-won't-they as the teen urges him to let his guard down and trust in her feelings for him. "The song is about not...

Kelly Clarkson shows off her many sides — sexy, glam, fun and playful, to name a few — in the brand-new, Justin Francis-directed music video for "Mr. Know It All."
The video, which dropped Monday (September 26), is a mixture of sleek performance footage and glamour shots, which play up the many personality traits of the Stronger singer. The clip even features a little something called "the Wall of Doubt," which uses real, occasionally negative headlines that have been printed about the singer.
But her favorite scene, as she told MTV News, is one where she looks super glammed up in a massive gown. "There's different sides of me, and that whole outfit...

Nicole Scherzinger oozes sex appeal in a music video for her latest single "Wet". The former lead singer of The Pussycat Dolls breaks into an indoor pool with a group of eye-candy females. Wearing belly-baring outfit, she leads them into a sexy against-the-wall choreography.
The music video, which also sees Nicole rolling on the floor of a parking lot and getting a little wet under the shower, comes from direction hands of Justin Francis. It's filmed "on one of Nicole's rare days off from filming [The X Factor (Us)]."
"Wet" is included in Nicole's long-delayed solo album "Killer Love" which has been released since March this year. Coming from production hands of Stargate and Sandy Vee, it's to follow up 50 Cent-assisted "Right There".

Trey Songz maintains a grand tradition in R&B, and his latest video "Love Faces" — which premiered on Monday (February 14) and represents the third single from Songz' excellent 2010 album Passion, Pain & Pleasure — is the latest entry in said legacy. His brand of music is the sort of stuff that R. Kelly, Ginuwine and D'Angelo made huge at the turn of the century, full of sexed-up imagery, limited vocal histrionics and solid grooves that underscore the fantastic filth of the lyrics.
As a song, "Love Faces" has a pretty straightforward narrative — one that Songz explains in the spoken word intro to the tune. "When I met you woman, I couldn't help but notice a face so beautiful," he says. "I imagined the faces you would make if we ever made love." Following some sweet nothings, Songz actually gets to find out what those faces might be.

Trey Songz can crank out bedroom burners with ease — this is the same guy behind "I Invented Sex" — but for the visual to his latest single, the Virginia crooner said fans shouldn't expect the typical Trey treatment.
MTV News recently sat down with the singer to chat about the newest video from his Passion, Pain & Pleasure LP, and Trey dished that "Love Faces" may throw fans for a loop.
"I love the treatment so much. I think it's gonna be a lot different than what people expect it to be and a lot of that is contributed to the narrative, and I want people to be surprised when they see it," he said. "But it's a great video.
