Lana Del Rey Cries Diamond Tears In ‘Young & Beautiful’ Video Premiere
0May 10, 2013
Nothing is more cinematic than a Lana Del Rey video and in the newly premiered clip for her new single ‘Young & Beautiful,’ the sultry songstress cries diamond tears as a monstrous orchestra provides the dramatic instrumental for the track.
Directed by Chris Sweeney and shot by Sophie Muller, the extraordinarily cinematic visual is comprised of footage of a silhouetted orchestra spliced with footage of Del Rey – who looks extremely 60’s glam – singing directly into the camera. It’s highly simple but yet visually striking. Typical LDR.

Nicki Minaj sat down for an in-depth E! interview with Ryan Seacrest last night (May 9th) and when asked about rumors that have begun circulating that she won’t be sticking around ‘American Idol’ for another year, she had a lot of to say.
“That’s a million-dollar question,” she said when asked if she was leaving the show. ”I have to say this all the time, but I want people to know it’s genuinely from my heart. I love the people on Idol. I genuinely do. If I had to do this all over again, I would have done Idol.”
She continued: “Because it’s fun, it’s laughs. It’s kind of sad that what people read all the time is only when something is negative. But they don’t realize that we built a family. I feel happy here and I have to thank them for giving me this chance. They could have picked anyone in the world. And they picked me. So that’s all I’ll say about that.”
