Attention Twi-hards: The video for Christina Perri's 'A Thousand Years' has arrived! Watch here

Vampires — and the humans who love them — can all sink their teeth into this brand-new video by Christina Perri, from the Breaking Dawn: Part 1 soundtrack out November 8.

“A Thousand Years” features footage of an ethereal-looking Perri in an empty house full of candles (1000, perhaps?) intercut with Edward and Bella’s wedding footage and honeymoon clips. Sorry, Jacob.

Perri’s looking a little gothic-pop, which is great for the Twilight mood, but kind of reminds me of Goodbye Lullaby Avril Lavigne.

Adele

Adele announced today that she is canceling all of her live dates and promotional appearances for the rest of the year. This news comes three weeks after the British singer canceled her sold-out U.S. tour because of a hemorrhage on her vocal chords.

Adele was due to play six U.K. dates next month but, according to an announcement on her website, the singer’s continuing problems with her throat have forced her to bow out of all her commitments until she recovers from an upcoming throat surgery, but that “a full recovery is expected.”

While the singer’s live appearances may be on hold, her album 21 continues to dominate the Billboard 200. The collection is currently enjoying its 13th week at number one. No album has spent more weeks in that position since 1998′s Titanic soundtrack.

Smells like fleece-foam-and-fake-fur spirit! The soundtrack for the upcoming Jason Segel-helmed Muppets movie has been revealed by Billboard.com, and Kermit and friends are getting lots of help.

Amongst the contributors: Canadian songstress Feist (who provides vocals on “Life’s A Happy Song,” alongside Mickey Rooney), Flight of the Conchords star Bret McKenzie (he pens four originals), harp-fond folkie Joanna Newsom (she guests on the beloved “The Muppet Show Theme”), Andrew Bird (he takes on “The Whistling Caruso”) and human co-stars Segel, Amy Adams, and Chris Cooper.

Also on the slate? Covers of Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” Cee Lo’s “Forget You” — performed by the Muppets Barbershop Quartet and a clutch of singing chickens, respectively — and several 20th-century classics in their original form: Paul Simon’s “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard,” Starship’s “We Built This City.”
