Gentleman music video clip was published on YouTube on April 13 and has since broken the record for first day song views.

The follow-up track of Gangnam Style had around 20 million hits in the first 24 hours.

The previous record for first day views of 8 million was set by Justin Bieber’s Beauty and a Beat, which was viewed 10.6 million times in 24 hours.

Gentleman video features South Korean rapper Psy wearing his signature glasses and playing practical jokes on women such as pulling their chairs away as they are about to sit down and increasing the speed on a treadmill while it’s being used.

The video also shows a new hip swivelling dance move. His previous horse riding move was copied by people all over the world including The Wanted, Britney Spears and President Barack Obama.

Psy has insisted that he’s not trying for another worldwide hit with Gentleman.

The singer said: “I’ve been doing this for 12 years. Would it be fair to call me a one-hit wonder just because my next song falls flat?”

Psy’s debut single Gangnam Style became the most-watched YouTube video of all time with more than 1.5 billion views since it was published in July 2012.

Creighton Baird pushed his cautious girlfriend Jessica Powell off the edge of a cliff to take a ride on a 400ft pendulum swing in a narrow canyon in Utah.

Creighton Baird gently tried to coax his nervous companion, Jessica Powell, to try the stunt over a period of 45 minutes but she was too scared. Finally, he took control and nudged her closer toward the edge of the cliff and suddenly pushed her off.

As Jessica Powell descended into the canyon she let out a series of chilling screams and then yelled out: “I’m breaking up with you.”

Creighton Baird was just one of dozens who trekked to an undisclosed location in Utah to film the stunt for a YouTube video by Devin Graham. The video was posted on Tuesday and has gained over 4 million views.

Equipped with multiple carabiners, a harness and ropes, Creighton Baird ran off the cliff, falling into the wide expanse of the canyon and shouted with excitement.

The jumper even held on to a camera so that his face and the look of terror he flashed could be recorded.

Several other eager jumpers tested the swing but Creighton Baird was keen for his girlfriend, Jessica Powell, to give it a go.

Though Jessica Powell was all suited up for the endeavor, she couldn’t quite muster the courage to step out off the cliff and a period of 45 minutes passed while her friends tried to encourage her to take the jump.

Her boyfriend tried several times to coax her and encouraged her to face her fear.

After multiple attempts, Creighton Baird walked her closer and closer to the edge and despite her protests, he quickly pushed her off.

“I’m breaking up with you!” Jessica Powell shouted, with her words echoing through the canyon.

Creighton Baird laughed at the comment and said he hoped that she would learn to appreciate his initiative one day.

The filmmaker told the Daily News that after the event, Jessica Powell admitted she was glad that Creighton Baird had given her the push because she probably wouldn’t have done it herself.

“She yelled that just because it was in the moment,” Devin Graham said.

“She came up and gave him a big hug and thanked him for pushing her off… Creighton is the nicest guy ever.”

Though her break-up message didn’t kill their relationship on the spot, Devin Graham revealed that the pair ultimately decided to call it quits.

“Sadly, last week they actually did break up,” said Devin Graham.

“It had nothing to do with getting pushed off the rope swing.”

A new North Korean propaganda video posted on YouTube has portrayed President Barack Obama and American troops in flames and says the country conducted its recent nuclear test because of U.S. hostility.

The video, posted on Sunday, follows a string of critical rhetoric against the United States.

Another video posted earlier this month showed an American city, with similarities to New York, being attacked by missiles.

The most recent video was posted by a YouTube account affiliated with a pro-reunification government agency, shows a blazing fire superimposed over footage of Barack Obama.

The video ends with a generic simulation of a nuclear device exploding underground, appearing to refer to North Korea’s recent nuclear test.

The U.S. currently is negotiating in the Security Council for stronger U.N. sanctions against Pyongyang following a February 12 nuclear test in the far northeast, the country’s third since 2006.

Pyongyang released the clip on Uriminzokkiri – Korean for “Our Nation” – which distributes new and propaganda.

According to the Global Post, the backing track to the clip comes from a video gamed, Elder Scrolls Oblivion.

North Korea has said the aim of the nuclear test was to bolster its defenses in the wake the hostility of the U.S., which is pushing for sanctions on North Korea.

The country has already told key ally China that it is prepared to stage one or two more tests this year to force the United States into diplomatic talks, a source said.

North Korea also warned its neighbor South Korea on Tuesday that it faces “final destruction” as it took part in a UN conference on disarmament.

U.S. Ambassador Laura Kennedy said she found North Korea’s threat profoundly disturbing and later tweeted that it was “offensive”.

Five-year-old Sarah Redden has secured a burgeoning fan base after releasing a rap tribute to NFL star Colin Kaepernick.

Sarah Redden from Dayton, Ohio, posted a YouTube video titled Kaepernicking on December 14 and to date it has scored more than 300,000 hits.

In the recording the blonde youngster is seen imitating the San Francisco 49ers quarterback dressed in a number 7 shirt with faux tattoos covering her upper arms.

“Wearing No 7 like Colin Kaep, talking Super Bowl wins, he’s bringing them back,” Sarah Redden raps.

Talking about what inspired the song, she told CBS13: “I just like singing and I just like making songs.

“The 49ers and the Steelers have always been my favorite teams.”

According to Sarah Redden, she wrote the lyrics and produced the video with the help of her brother.

She cites the U.S. rapper Wiz Khalifa as one of her musical inspirations.

Donald Trump has challenged President Barack Obama to release his college records and passport application – and has promised to donate $5 million to a charity of the President’s choice if he does so.

Donald Trump made his offer in a YouTube video released at noon today, two days after promising to make a “gigantic” announcement about Barack Obama which could change the course of the presidential race.

The tycoon previously denied staging a publicity stunt, insisting the announcement is “not a media event”, but instead is “about the United States of America”.

A number of sensational claims about the content of the message had been swirling around the web for three days – one pundit with links to the billionaire even suggested that he was set to unearth divorce papers between Barack Obama and his wife Michelle.

However, the man himself tweeted: “All predictions re: my 12 o’clock release are totally incorrect. Stay tuned!” – and some may be disappointed by the relatively tame nature of the announcement.

Donald Trump set the hare running on Monday by claiming that he was set to make an announcement today that would be “bordering on gigantic” and that it would “possibly” change the presidential race.

But when the announcement finally came, in the form of a YouTube video and accompanying Facebook post, it was somewhat less explosive than promised.

Donald Trump started the announcement by saying: “President Obama is the least transparent President in the history of this country.”

He added: “I’m very honored to have gotten him to release his long-form birth certificate… or whatever it may be.”

The meat of the message ran: “If Barack Obama opens up and gives his college records and applications, and if he gives his passport applications and records, I will give to a charity of his choice – inner-city kids in Chicago, American Cancer Society, AIDS research, anything he wants – a cheque, immediately, for $5 million.”

Donald Trump went on to say that the records had to be released by 5:00 p.m. on October 31, and that his donation would be given within an hour of Barack Obama releasing the records “to my satisfaction, if it’s complete”.

The video concluded: “Mr. President, not only will I be happy – and, by the way, totally satisfied – but the American people will be happy, and those charities will be very, very happy.”

There are a number of conspiracy theories surrounding Barack Obama’s records from his time at Occidental College, Yale University and Harvard Law School.

Most common is the assertion that the future President’s grades were weak, which would undermine his intellectual reputation, but some go further and argue that he might have taken “anti-American” courses or even have attended college as a foreign exchange student.

Donald Trump’s appeal for passport records, meanwhile, appears to be linked to the “birther” conspiracy theory which holds that Barack Obama was not born in the U.S. and in which the businessman has been a leading voice.

The White House has not yet responded to Donald Trump’s offer, and is unlikely to do so.

On Tuesday, Donald Trump defended himself against claims that he was focused more on self-publicizing than serving the American people, as he tweeted: “This is not a media event or about Donald J. Trump – this is about the United States of America.”

The billionaire followed that up with a quotation from Chinese author Sun Tzu reading: “Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.”

Donald Trump told Fox & Friends on Monday that he had “something very, very big concerning the President of the United States”.

“It’s going to be very big. I know one thing – you will cover it in a very big fashion.”

Donald Trump declined to elaborate, but yesterday an investor who appears on the same business talk show as him claimed to have more details.

Douglas Kass, a Florida-based investor who appears on CNBC’s talkshow Squawkbox where Donald Trump is often a commentator, tweeted to his 48,000 followers: “High above the Alps my Gnome has heard that Donald Trump will announce that he has unearthed divorce papers between the Prez and his wife.”

The claims about divorce papers have previously been made in a book released earlier this year by author Ed Klein. The White House rubbished the allegations then and claimed Ed Klein had a history of making things up.

Fabio Jose Silva Coelho, president of Google operations in Brazil, has said the company will take down a controversial YouTube video that led to his brief detention on Wednesday.

In a statement, Fabio Jose Silva Coelho said he was left with no choice after losing a final legal appeal.

A regional judge had ruled that the material slandered a candidate running for mayor next month.

One of the videos has already been withdrawn by the user who posted it.

Fabio Coelho says the decision, taken by a user who remains anonymous, shows “just what a chilling effect these episodes can have on free speech”.

He was released on Wednesday night after being interviewed by detectives in the city of Sao Paulo.

Police had already made it clear that he would not remain in custody because the offence of which he is accused has “low potential to offend”.

Fabio Coelho argues that Google has no responsibility for the content of videos posted on its site.

But he stresses that the company will follow its guidelines and the legislation of each country.

“If a video is illegal in a particular country, we will restrict access to it, after receiving a valid court order or government complaint,” he said in the statement.

“Because we are deeply committed to free expression, we often push back on requests that we do not believe are valid.”

The videos in question suggest Alcides Bernal – a mayoral candidate in the western city of Campo Grande – is guilty of committing crimes.

Judge Flavio Peren, who sits at a regional electoral court in Mato Grosso do Sul state, ruled the videos violated local election laws.

His order for the videos to be removed was ignored and on Monday he ordered Fabio Coelho’s arrest.

“Late last night [Wednesday], we learned that our final appeal had been denied and so now we have no choice but to block the video in Brazil,” says Fabio Coelho in a statement posted on Google.

A quick-thinking cat managed to escape a pursuing pooch and surf her way to safety in a backyard pool.

The ingenious move, caught in a YouTube video, showed an aggressive Fox Terrier pursuing the feline on a sunny afternoon.

But the clever kitty was too quick for her menacing companion, as seen in footage uploaded to the video-sharing website by Robert Dollwet, an American animal trainer living in New South Wales.

The cat gracefully jumped on to a waiting surfboard and let the longboard take her to safety.

Enjoying a respite mid-pool, she casually glanced back at her pursuer — who was left dumbfounded by her skillful maneuver.

After a pause in the pool, the cat concluded her surfing stint.

Admitting defeat, the pup stayed on the other side of the water and watched her go her merry way.

Google announces it removed about 640 videos from YouTube that allegedly promoted terrorism over the second half of 2011 after complaints from the UK’s Association of Police Officers.

The news was contained in its latest Transparency Report which discloses requests by international authorities to remove or hand over material.

Google said it terminated five accounts linked to the suspect videos.

However, the firm said it had rejected many other state’s requests for action.

Canada’s Passport Office was among the organizations rebuffed. It had asked for a video of a Canadian citizen urinating on his passport and then flushing it down the toilet be removed.

Google also refused to delete six YouTube videos that satirized Pakistan’s army and senior politicians. The order had come from the government of Pakistan’s Ministry of Information Technology.

But Google did act in hundreds of cases, including:

• requests to block more than 100 YouTube videos in Thailand that allegedly insulted its monarchy – a crime in the country

• the removal of a YouTube video that contained hate speech that had been posted in Turkey

• the termination of four YouTube accounts responsible for videos that allegedly contained threatening and harassing content after complaints by different US law enforcement agencies.

Overall, Google said it had received 461 court orders covering a total of 6,989 items between July and December 2011. It said it had complied with 68% of the orders.

It added that it had received a further 546 informal requests covering 4,925 items, of which it had agreed to 43% of the cases.

Google’s senior policy analyst, Dorothy Chou, said the company was concerned by the amount of requests that had been linked to political speech.

“It’s alarming not only because free expression is at risk, but because some of these requests come from countries you might not suspect – Western democracies not typically associated with censorship,” she said.

“For example, in the second half of last year, Spanish regulators asked us to remove 270 search results that linked to blogs and articles in newspapers referencing individuals and public figures, including mayors and public prosecutors.

“In Poland, we received a request from the Agency for Enterprise Development to remove links to a site that criticized it.

“We didn’t comply with either of these requests.”

Cassandra Bankson, a teenager from California, hoped that by sharing her problem with acne and how she has learnt make-up tricks to hide it would help at least one person going through the same ordeal, but she has actually reached out to millions thanks to bravely taking to the internet to show off her severe skin complaint.

Cassandra Bankson, 19, posted a video on YouTube showing her red and blemished skin before applying make-up – and how she managed to make her face look flawless in just ten minutes thanks to her beauty tricks.

The video has since had 7.6 million hits worldwide.

As a result of the success, Cassandra Bankson was asked to appeared on Good Morning America to share her story.

The teen explained how she was bullied at school for her acne but she learnt how to conceal it by practicing different make-up techniques. Her blemish-concealing make-up application became so expert that the teenager was able to become a model with her skin appearing flawless in her portfolio shots.

She eventually plucked up the courage to share her beauty tips via a YouTube video but she never expected the overwhelming response it received.

Cassandra Bankson explains: “I got my first pimple in the third grade and it progressively got worse, I had to work out how to deal with it.

“I filmed the video last November but it took me a month to post it, I thought I was going to get the same hate I got at school over my skin. But I thought if it could help one person, one girl or guy with the same condition, it would be worth it.”

Cassandra Bankson’s video went far beyond helping just one person as people clicked to view it in their millions. Viewers thanked her for sharing her story and urged her to share more of her tips on her You Tube channel “diamondsandheels14”.

Now Cassandra Bankson, who is studying to be a nurse, has uploaded other people beauty tips videos and writes her own blog. Her dream is to create her own skin care range.

She said the response to her first video was overwhelming.

“It was a real eye opener,” Cassandra Bankson told Good Morning America.

“It [acne] is such epidemic for adults as well as teens.”

At the start of her video, which was shot in her parent’s lounge, Cassandra Bankson is seen wearing full make-up and looking picture-perfect. It’s only as she starts stripping back the expert layers of primers, foundation, powders and setting sprays, that the true extent of her pimpled and blemished skin is revealed.

The teen, a horse-back riding and hiking fan, returns to the camera in a bathrobe at her ‘most insecure,’ with bare skin and looking a very different person.

“I feel really disgusting, this is probably the most nerve-wracking thing I could possibly do because it is my biggest insecurity… But this is my face.”

She goes to show the extent of the problem as the acne has spread to her neck, shoulders and back.

Cassandra Bankson admits: “The sad part is it’s a lot better than it used to be. I mean it’s still all over my chest, all over my back, it’s everywhere and you can see it goes down my neck, it’s all to the side, it even got on my ear. It’s gotten a lot better but it’s still really, really bad. It’s my biggest insecurity.”

It is a far cry from the modelling portfolio shots that can be seen on her YouTube channel, where the striking brunette lounges on car bonnets, takes to the catwalk and poses in cut-out swimsuits with flawless skin.

The teen, then takes viewers on a step-by-step lesson on how to achieve her look by applying foundation.

“I have extremely oily skin,” she says, giving tips about the primers and oil-reducing tricks.

Applying liberal amounts of cosmetics, Cassandra Bankson seems well ahead of her years, confident and knowledgeable about the complex potions upon which she relies.

She is frank, even wry, about her spots: “I always carry everything down my neck because, well, I have acne there.”

Cassandra Bankson has become something of a skin expert, with other videos explaining the physiology of skin and acne and the treatments that best target the skin condition.

By the end of the video, Cassandra Bankson is transformed – her flawless complexion giving no hint of the severe breakouts

“Voila! I have somewhat clear looking skin,” she tells the camera.

“I hope that you guys enjoy this. I hope you can have flawless skin too.”

Police released the YouTube video in a bid to trace the people involved in the incident which is believed to have happened at around 12.30 p.m. on Saturday, January 28.

The road where the incident took place was the B4425 at Ampney Coln near Bibury in Gloucestershire.

A police spokesman said: “On this day a woman called Gloucestershire Police to report that she had been assaulted by a cyclist who had been holding up traffic.

“Officers have made a number of enquiries to locate this woman but it appears that the contact details she gave were incorrect.

“As part of their enquiries officers seized footage that had been posted on YouTube that is believed to be connected to the same incident.

“The footage shows a man cycling along a road when he is approached by a woman on foot who pushes him; they then get into an altercation.

“Investigating officers have been working to identify the individuals, but to no avail. They are now turning to the public for their help.”

The people in the film, or anyone who witnessed the incident, have been asked to phone Gloucestershire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

YouTube user “rob19791”claims he has found proof that NASA is covering up evidence of aliens because the agency’s spacecraft that monitors the Sun went offline after he spotted a “UFO” on its video feed.

On May 5, “rob19791” posted a YouTube video of a mysterious-looking “object” hovering near the sun. The footage was taken from video that the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory beamed back to Earth and streamed online.

But the claims are likely to fall on deaf ears at NASA after two other similar sightings of “alien spaceships” have been debunked with simple explanations.

The video zooms in on a pyramid-shaped object hovering above the sun’s surface.

One day later, NASA shut down the spacecraft’s video feed as it went into “emergency Sun reacquisition mode”.

“This is a cover up to prevent us from seeing these things again. NASA must have seen this video and started making plans to change the way you and I are allowed to view it,” he said in a second video.

“I think this is proof that NASA is covering this up.

“NASA is clearly trying to stop us looking at the sun,” he added.

This is the third time in recent months that believers have pointed out “proof” of UFOs based on supposedly unexplained phenomena on NASA’s space-monitoring equipment.

In December, a man says he found a “cloaked” space ship orbiting Mercury.

March brought the “Death Star”, a planet-size object seen “refueling” at the Sun – similar to rob19791’s triangular discovery.

In March, NASA scientists debunked the Death Star theory by explaining that cameras had simply captured a solar filament – a tunnel of matter extending out from the sun and cooling to form a dark “spot”.

It appears this might be the explanation for the second “UFO”, as well.

While the answer is shorter on conspiracy, it is no less puzzling to scientists.

They still aren’t sure what the filaments are or what caused them to form.

The delivery man was delivering a white box from Zappos. As he cooly strides up the path, he flips the middle finger at the camera before flinging the heavy parcel at the door and walking off.

The video was published just days after a video of a Fedex employee heaving a computer monitor over a fence to a southern California home went live.

After the FedEx employee’s conduct became a hit on the internet, a company vice president issued his own YouTube video apologizing and promising the delivery employee would no longer work with customers.
