Patrice Wilson, Rebecca Black Producer, Releases "H.A.P.P.Y."
Follow along, THG readers:
Patrice Wilson is the man who wrote "Friday," the infamous single that put Rebecca Black on the musical map. And, as you might imagine, he took a lot of flak for penning such a ridiculous anthem.
Now, in response to the feedback, Wilson has come out with his very own music video for some single titled "H.A.P.P.Y."
"I figured I might as well kind of tell the story of what happened,” says Wilson. “When people see that it’s not getting to you, then maybe they can start liking you. With all the hate, I just wanted to make something that would make people smile.”
That's what Wilson attempts to do here, kicking off the video by crying in front of a fake news report. Watch, react now and then listen to Black's new track.

Brace yourselves. Rebecca Black is back!
The 14-year old - who many believe represents the Apocalypse in the music industry, following her release of "Friday" - has released a new video, this one in honor of the single "Person of Interest."

Rebecca Black Performs, Doesn't Suck on America's Got Talent
It was, perhaps, the most surprising result on America's Got Talent last night: Rebecca Black took the stage and put on a perfectly decent performance.
Granted, the entire mash-up of "Friday" and "My Moment" lasted for barely more than a minute. But, hey, hopefully it was enough to silence those jerks at Black's former school, as the singer recently admitted she was yanked from classes due to bullying.
Watch Rebecca perform below. Not the worst thing you've ever seen, right?
Rebecca Black: Yanked Out of School Due to "Friday" Harassment
Turns out, Fridays are actually less exciting for Rebecca Black than most kids her age. The reason? She no longer attends regular school.
The singer admitted to ABC News in a new interview that she gets tutored at home because students started giving her a really hard time after her first single launched.
"When I walk by they'll start singing 'Friday' in a really nasally voice," Black says. "Or, you know, they'll be like, 'Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?'"
Wow. Kids can be so cruel, can't they?
At least Rebecca has made some new friends over the last few weeks, as well. Among them: Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

Rebecca Black Duets with Katy Perry, Challenges Taylor Swift to a Fashion Face-Off
Rebecca Black has a long way to go until she's Taylor Swift. This is true for almost all artists, of course.
But the controversial 13-year old singer took a step in Taylor's direction last night by claiming the Choice Web Star honor at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards. Swift? She only went home with multiple surfboard, including the most prestigious one of them all: Ultimate Choice.
Which of these musicians looked best on the red carpet, though? That's up readers to decide in the following Fashion Face-Off.
It was a big weekend for Black all around, meanwhile. She surprised attendees at a Katy Perry concert and sang a duet of "Friday" with the mega pop star on stage. Check it out below:
Lady Gaga Tweets Love For Rebecca Black
Lady Gaga may be the biggest name in music, but she's never one to forget where she came from and who supports her. She spends an enormous amount of time Tweeting with the 12 million (and counting) Little Monsters who love her.

In an apparent reference to Black's new video, "My Moment," Gaga wrote:
“So it's Sunday+my Italian mother's gossipcircle reported that @msrebeccablack wears a gaga tshirt in her video. Shine on doll its ur moment!”
Gaga's moment of the day comes on The View, where she will be co-hosting Monday. We'll have highlights from that gab-fest a little later today.
