Friday, described as "the worst pop song of all time", has become a worldwide sensation, notching up 10 million hits on YouTube and turning its 13-year-old performer into a star.
The Independent reported Friday that Rebecca Black's song, with its robotic vocal delivery, is ei ther a witty parody of saccharine teen-pop or a new low in manufactured song production.
The song Friday is about the California girl's excitement at the impending weekend and became a sensation after she posted it on YouTube last month.
The media report said that the song got 10 million views and now jumped into the official iTunes download chart.
As a matter of fact, Black's name has even "out-trended" the Japanese earthquake on Twitter.
Most of the comments on the songs are not flattering.
Rolling Stone slammed the song's "sub-par production values, grating hooks and extraordinarily stupid lyrics".
The chorus - Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday/ Today is Friday, Friday (Partyin')/ Tomorrow is Saturday/And Sunday comes afterwards - has led to YouTube parodies.
Black is the product of Hollywood company the Ark Music Factory, which charges parents a fee in return for the chance to turn their child into a star.
Rebecca herself is not amused by all the negative comments circulating onthe net. She confessed to The Daily Beast, "Those hurtful comments really shocked me. At times, it feels like I'm being cyberbullied."
Madonna is a "natural" filmmaker.
Abbie Cornish - who stars the singer's new directorial effort 'W.E.', about the story of Britain's King Edward VIII and his American wife Wallis Simpson - confesses she was great to work with because she really "loves" learning and was "very well read".
She revealed: "Madonna is natural director. It's in her nature. She's a Leo and she really represents the Leos very well.
"She's a very smart woman, very well read. She really absorbs a lot about whatever she's involved in.
Madonna is natural director. It's in her nature. She's a Leo and she really represents the Leos very well.
"I think she really loves learning. It was interesting to see her evolve throughout the filmmaking process. She's such a cool woman."
Abbie, who plays Wally Winthrop in the two-tier story taking place over separate timelines, also reveals Madonna's 14-year-old daughter Lourdes portrays a younger version of her character in the movie.
She added to MTV.com: "She actually plays a younger version of my character. She's a super-cute, younger version of my character."
Music producer William Orbit - who has provided two songs for the score of the movie - recently claimed the movie was Oscar-worthy and could see Madonna land a nomination for Best Director at the Academy Awards next year.
He said: "It's definitely Oscar-worthy and I'm not just saying that. I wouldn't comment on her past acting abilities so you know by me saying what I have that it's really a great film. I definitely think Madonna could be up for an Oscar for Best Director."
Amanda Seyfried refuses to give herself time off in between movies - because she has to distract herself from the "heartbreak" of leaving behind the bonds she's made on set.
The actress has been involved in nine film projects since 2009, and threw herself into shooting a new movie, titled Now, just days after wrapping upcoming blockbuster Red Riding Hood.
And she admits the pain of breaking away from pals she makes when filming forces her to quickly begin shooting her next project.
Seyfried tells Britain's Marie Claire, "Because you're afraid of having time alone, you want to distract yourself from the heartbreak of one relationship.
"That's why I go from movie to movie, it seems, because I want to distract myself from feeling really sad and having to disconnect from a family I've created.
"I'll just work right away. I literally left Vancouver and started (a) new project, Now, a week later."
Seyfried is back on the big screen later this year as she takes on the lead role in Catherine Hardwicke's version of Red Riding Hood.
