We know you've been waiting to see the latest from the club-chart-topping artist of 2011’s “Worlds Away,” so without further ado, head to our Web Exclusives area to check out “Diamond Dreams,” from Aiden Leslie and famed NYC-based director Marco Ovando!

We've been pretty vocal fans of Days Of Our Lives' treatment of Will Horton's coming out storyline.
