Here are some videos that show the range of representation of woman in the media, these three videos are mainly focusing on the more sexual portrayal of the woman in the media, however some of them (e.g. lady gaga) are putting their own spin on it so that it is actually ironic or shows how woman want to be presented. The scouting for girls video openly uses the male gaze in their video.

The male gaze - "The majority of cameras are males admiring females so the camera lingers longer on females and sexual aspects of their bodies"

Scouting for girls - She's so lovely

Lady Gaga - You and I

Lily Allen - Hard out here
