L.O. L.O. L.O.V.E. September 27, 2007

I’m not going to lie. Although I don’t own a single Ashlee Simpson song, and I secretly loved that whole lip-synching thing…

I feel great about the photo shoot for her new album, due out in December.

p.s. remember when she looked like THIS.

Invisible Children September 26, 2007

Fall Out Boy .  New Video.

I can’t decide how I feel about it.  I’m not sure that it’s the right band or the right song.  but I appreciate what Fall Out Boy is trying to do.

 so many horrible things happen in this world.  thank God for the people who are trying.

we need to talk September 18, 2007

it’s been a while, let’s chat:

-Yesterday morning, Britney Spears‘ lawyer dumped her, and then, that afternoon, so did her manager.

-Rumor has it, that due to new “information”  Britney Spears will be losing custody of her children today.

-It sucks to be Britney Spears.

-O.J. Simpson got arrested.  He faces burglary and assault charges, among others.  you’d think that fool would just lay low, i mean, he got pretty lucky that one time.

- Looks like Kanye’s got this thing.  Early sales reports have projected Kanye West to out-sale 50 Cent by at least 150,000 units. 

-50 Cent has canceled his European tour…what could it mean!?

-So, High School Musical’s Vanessa Hudgens & those naked photos (supposedly sent to that kid on Nickelodeon)?  these child stars are freaky!

-Everyone’s all in a tizzy because Paris Hilton announced that Christina Aguilera is pregnant.  Really!?  Did you think she was smuggling basket balls? If you hadn’t figured that one out by now, maybe you should stop getting your news from Paris Hilton.

-”Do It” by Nelly Furtado is the bomb.

-People are saying that my beloved Angelina Jolie is pregnant again.  If Paris Hilton announced that, it would be news.

-You should start listening to Eric Hutchinson.  Perez does, and so do I.  Holler.

Krazy Kanye September 11, 2007

he’s crazy, but I love him.

Apparently, I wasn’t the only one upset by Britney and those lame hotel room performances – Kanye West has vowed never to work with MTV again.

“The rapper says he’s already cancelled planned appearances on TRL to promote his new album Graduation. Specifically, West takes issue with the way performances were set up – that he should have performed on the main stage and not from a private suite where many artists performed for small groups of fans throughout the telecast.”

“They exploited Britney in helping to end her career. When Britney was opening [the VMA telecast], near the end, I felt so bad for her. I said, ‘Man, it’s a dirty game. This game will chew you up and spit you out.”

“Another sticking point: Pamela Anderson’s racy introduction on the telecast. (Anderson appeared in a music video for West’s single “Touch the Sky.”) Before West performed “Good Life” from his suite, the former Baywatch star told viewers, “One of the best times I’ve ever had was making out with the next performer in the middle of the desert. I think I had my tongue so far down his throat I could taste his fiancée – and I might need a repeat performance later tonight.”

“I’m engaged, and I feel like it’s disrespectful to my relationship.”

You go Kanye.

p.s. Don’t forget to buy his album today. if only to hold 50 Cent to his word. Although 50 won a place in my heart during the VMAs, my copy of Graduation has already been purchased.

Please Don’t September 11, 2007

So, apparently, Jessica Simpson will be making a country album. ugh.

“She’s a singer from top to bottom,” Joe Simpson said. “And everything in the music business, especially pop music, has moved away from singers. And I think country is the the only pure, storytelling kind of genre left.”

no thanks. please just stick to designing shoes. maybe another reality show. anything but singing. anything.

p.s.

your dad is creepy.

Lame September 10, 2007

So the VMAs were stupid. For the most part, they resembled soul train, circa 1991, mixed with a little bit of porno. performances in hotel rooms? for real, VMAs?

Britney blew. If you’re gonna lip-sync, please dance. (Thank You Chris Brown – you know how to do it right). The best part of her performance was 50 Cent’s face when they panned to the audience – it was a look of confusion, mixed with offense. Oh, Fitty. P.S. Where was Criss Angel? Did he make those strippers appear dangling from poles in the ceiling? Cause that was pretty magical.

by the way, Perez Hilton is PISSED about it. (click HERE)

the only other interesting things about the VMAs, in no particular order:

- Justin Timberlake’s rant against MTV’s reality shows, after recieving his award from the cast of The Hills. classy.

- Justin Timberlake’s pocket watch. sharp.

-That whole Tommy Lee / Kid Rock fight thing. (watch HERE)

-Was Jamie Foxx on drugs?

-Is Mary J. Blige about to breakdown? She almost broke into tears, and she was just introducing Dr. Dre as her co-presenter. calm down, Mary J.

That’s about it. If you missed it, you didn’t miss much.

Plus, MTV will re-play it about 17 million times.

Jesus Freaks & Thugs September 8, 2007

My newest love: Kevin Michael.

Okay, okay. In my world, it’s a general policy to automatically dislike people with two first names. But that hair more than makes up for it – and his music more than lives up to that coif.

“We All Want The Same Thing” is a real gem — check that one out on his myspace…

he’s on the road with Maroon 5 this summer, and just about everyone is collaborating with him…he’s gonna be big.

for now, enjoy his acoustic rendition of his song “It Don’t Make Any Difference“

Oops, She’s gonna do it again September 8, 2007

no surprises here.

Britney Spears has been officially added to the list of performers at the VMAs.

Also performing: 50 Cent & Kanye West. This will be good. those two nuts in the same room? all night? I can’t wait to see what Kanye does. that guy is like a time bomb ready to go off at the mouth.

Tune in. Sunday, 9/8c. Thank the lord for MTV.

p.s.
Don’t forget to buy Kanye West’s album Graduation on Tuesday. I don’t care if you like his music or not. We have to see if 50 will really quit rapping. Man, I hope this happens.

Get Ready to Ignite September 5, 2007

This music video is genius.

Justice “D.A.N.C.E.”

Joey & Dawson all over again September 4, 2007

Michelle Williams & Heath Ledger are over.

That’s a shame, they were no Brangelina, but I felt great about it.
