Pharrell and Miley Cyrus release ‘Come and Get It Bae’ video

Just because it’s a thing that exists, I suppose I have to share Pharrell‘s new video for ‘Come and Get It Bae’, which is his new single with none other than Miley Cyrus. It’s a shit song and a shit video, but I guess some people like it. (For the record, I think Pharrell is WAY overrated, and Miley is… well, Miley). What do you think of the song? The video? The idiotic name of this track? (“Bae”? No.) Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Pharrell thinks it’s not possible to be a feminist

In today’s edition of Pharrell Is Not Very Smart, we’ve got a pretty choice interview he did with Channel 4 in the UK, in which he actually says that it’s not possible for him to be a feminist, though he would totally love to be… if only he could! I’ve been asked, am I a feminist?” the singer and producer said during an interview with Channel 4 News in the United Kingdom. “I don’t think it’s possible for me to be that.” When asked why, he responded plainly. “I’m a man. It makes sense up until a certain point. But what I do is, I do support feminists. There’s injustices; there are inequalities that need to be addressed.” …Take, for example, when he spoke in support of Hillary Clinton: “I would love to see a woman run the country,” he said. “Historically, this world has been run by man. And what would a world be like if 75 percent our world leaders, our presidents and prime ministers, were female? What would that world be like? We don’t know, because we haven’t given it a shot. We’re too busy telling them what they can and can’t do with their bodies. Or, we’re too busy, you know, not allowing them to make the same amount of money that a man makes.” Oh dear. Look, Pharrell is not really a smart guy. Does he make catchy songs? Sure. Is he a great thinker? Definitely not. I watched an interview with him after he performed at BBC Radio 1′s Big Weekend last weekend and was stunned at how braindead he seemed. I think he was high as a kite, but weed makes you lazy, not completely ignorant. Newsflash to Pharrell and whoever else doesn’t get it: it’s “possible” for EVERYONE to be a feminist, and it’s quite simple. If you think men and women are completely equal in every way and deserve the same rights and privileges, congrats! You’re a feminist! Jesus. Here’s the video for ya: Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Oprah made Pharrell cry!

Pharrell‘s ‘Happy’ is a massive success – I don’t know anyone on this planet who hates this song (go ahead, someone prove me wrong because I know it’s coming) and for good reason. I wouldn’t call myself a Pharrell fan, but I think he makes some pretty solid music (Robin Thicke collab withstanding) and ‘Happy’ is just a REALLY great, feel-good song. And in this day and age with all the bullshit in the world, sometimes something really positive and upbeat with no pretense at all is just… refreshing, and yes, kinda moving. Sitting down with Oprah for her Oprah Prime series, he was shown a video made by fans around the world who were dancing and singing along in countries like Iceland, Senegal and beyond. Just seeing the effect this song has had on the world made Pharrell emotional – like, REALLY emotional – and he was reduced to tears. First of all, even if I went on Oprah to talk about how much I liked chocolate or something, I feel like I would cry. That’s what you do with Oprah! Let it out! That being said, that was pretty great. Even I got a little teary-eyed! How good is Pharrell’s ‘Happy’? Oh man, SO GOOD. I love it! Eh, it’s okay, but not THAT great. Totally overrated – can’t stand it! I live under a rock and have never heard it. View Results Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
