The Long and Winding Road...to Vegas
So, how do you make a perfect playlist for a vacation? Well, for an upcoming trip to Vegas, we decided to use Google Maps as our guide to break the trip into some themed blocks. Here are some of the highlights:
Leaving LA – “Leaving Port” by James Horner, Titanic Soundtrack
Desert Passage – “Country Roads” John Denver, “Life is a Highway” Tom Cochrane, “California” Phantom Planet
Pre-Barstow Power (ballad) hour- “I’ll Remember” Madonna, “Power of Love” Celine Dion, “How Will I Know” Whitney Houston
Post-Barstow Karaoke KarRide – “Don’t Stop Believin’” Glee Soundtrack, “Mamma Mia” Mamma Mia – the Movie Soundtrack, “Under the Sea” The Little Mermaid
Entering Nevada – “Bad Romance” Lady Gaga, “3″ Britney Spears, “Ridin’ Solo” Jason Derulo
Driving Down the Strip – “I Gotta Feeling” Black Eyed Peas, “Right Round” Flo Rida
And then, to get in the mood for the impending bad decisions and epic after-the-fact stories, a viewing of Britney Spear’s 2007 VMA “performance” of Gimme More is the only thing that seems appropriate enough.

Sticky & Sweet Tour iTunes LP
The iTunes LP for the Sticky & Sweet Tour (available on March 29th) will feature 4 bonus tracks that do not exist on the physical release of the CD. The tracks are “Heartbeat”, “Borderline”, “4 minutes” and “Ray of Light”. You can pre-order it here!
Sticky & Sweet iTunes LP track listing
The DVD won’t include the 2009 songs, however it is loaded with great behind-the-scenes footage and it is said that it will also feature the special appearances of Justin Timberlake (in Los Angeles), Timbaland (in Miami) and many other guests!
Lady GaGa, Christina, Marc Jacobs And Everyone Wanting To Be By Her Side.....Is It Because The Others Want More Publicity For Themselves?
It seems as if Lady GaGa and Christina Ricci both like Marc Jacobs. Imagine that two people both liking the same designer, question is who will pull it off the best? Of course, RicciIs more sleek and conservative, but we all crave to see Lady GaGa in an creative costume or one of her infamous ensembles more.
Last month,GaGaseemed to be looking a little conservative for herself, maybe beacuse it was early in the morning and she didn’t feel like getting up 10 hours earlier for her usual dressing, then she had to when she appeared onGood Morning America.
Lady GaGa is one busy busy women as she is teaming up with Cyndi Lauper and it seems every major iconic woman. GaGa and Lauper are raising money for HIV awareness program, which they duo popped up onGood Morning America.
It seems Lady GaGa and also Madonnahave been fans of Marc Jacobs, as they were seen to gether in a past Marc Jacobs show in New York City.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT OF LOVE
The supple recognition of the incompleteness of faith, the waking from the false dream of imperfect salvation and my personal witness to the agonies of living and dying has summoned me. I am no longer tormented by the distant darkening knowledge of mortality. Abraham and Orpheus were both ignorant of Choice. A truth has taken hold of me in an unleashing wind, bottomless and inexorable.
My new work is colored by heaven, bathed in the electric light of love.

standpointOften, I get the feeling knowledgeable people think a little less of me when I tell them Jack Kerouac is one of my favorite writers. That’s fine with me. I don’t back down from my love for the guy.
My initial exposure to Kerouac was probably similar to many others. I used to ditch gym class in high school. By my sophomore year, I figured out the teacher wasn’t entirely vigilant with his attendance records and so many of us didn’t show up that the dude would give everyone at least a C, most likely so that no one ever got wise. That was fine with me. I found other ways to occupy my time which usually resulted in getting caught for ditching, garnering numerous detentions.
During my senior year, I discovered it was easier to go to the library due to the fact it was a place where the faculty didn’t look for troublemakers like myself . The second floor stacks were mainly occupied by those underclassmen who felt more at home in the library than the cafeteria where their classmates, especially the bullies, weren’t going to bother them. It was in the back of one of those stacks where I would take off my suit jacket, roll it up into a ball and try to sleep for a half an hour. But, even as seldom traveled as the second floor was, inevitably someone I knew would come by and ask, “LeJeune, what the fuck are you doing up here?” No matter what stage of my life I’ve been in, people disrupting my sleep has always been something I can count on. And so it was on the second floor of that library.
But in one corner of that floor, there was an area where the library staff stored items it used for seasonal displays. Among the props were some large cardboard constructions made to look like gigantic books. After my first few failed attempts at a midday siesta, I dragged two of the “books” over to the stacks and, with me inside, piled them on top of each other, creating a wall. The younger students must have assumed the wall was there for a reason and didn’t bother with it. I’d finally created a restful little nook.
One day while I was preparing for my nap, I noticed a book resting on top of the others. It was On the Road by Jack Kerouac. It didn’t belong there. I guessed I wasn’t the only student who figured out my second floor nook was a good place for some solitude. I picked it up and started reading the first few pages, thinking it would put me to sleep after a few pages.
It didn’t. For the next few days, I didn’t sleep. I read. For me, On the Road was special. I’d read others like it. My high school’s English curriculum was pretty progressive. But it was the first novel of its kind that I’d read by my own accord, on my own terms. The notion of discovering and reading On the Road all by myself was more important than the actual text.
But what I read was far from useless. I experienced On the Road at the exact right time in my life. Still young enough to make an indelible impression. Old enough to begin realizing there was a ton of bullshit in the world.
I’ve read hundreds of books since On the Road, and I’m not so naive to think, in the scope of all literature, it’s as grand an accomplishment as some proffer. But for many of us, it’s symbolic of the American youth’s rite of passage. And, for that reason alone, it’s a book that rises above the multitude of critics who try to dismiss. For that reason alone, it’ll never go away.
quotationI like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. ↔ Jack Kerouac
A few months back, I made a big stir about the newest Kerouac documentary, One Fast Move Or I’m Gone: Kerouac’s Big Sur. And rightfully so. It was a good, albeit completely depressing, watch. Plus, the soundtrack by Jay Farrar and Ben Gibbard was even better once I saw it in the context of the film. Here’s Farrar and Gibbard performing “These Roads Don’t Move.”
gallimaufry→ In a world that seems to be fixated on pointing all the shortcomings of us males, it’s nice to see someone say something nice about men for a change. Especially those of us with above-average intelligence.
→ A good friend of mine, who I’m uncertain wants his name dropped yet in connection with this, is one of the creators of Popularity Contest: The Anodyne to Your Pop-Culture Blues. Bookmark it. Once it’s big, you’ll be able to tell all your friends, “I know how great it is, man, I’ve been reading it since it started.” At the very least, you’ll discover the meaning of anodyne.
→ While I was writing this, The Marriage Ref was on my television. Not sure if the show’s going to make it. But it did make me think of a reality show I might, in fact, watch. It would be on Bravo or maybe E! and it would feature Madonna and Oprah Winfrey pitted against one another in a contest. Every episode would comprise of each woman being analyzed by one of the world’s foremost psychologists to help them resolve their issues with men. The series finale would have both women presenting their cases to a panel of judges, made up of equal parts mental health professionals and regular folks. The prize for the winner would be to keep on living her exceptionally wonderful life. The loser would be allowed to say her goodbyes to fans, friends and family before being launched into space in a dumpster. It doesn’t matter to me which one loses. Either way, we all win. Sorry, that was a bit long-winded but how many of you disagree? Yeah. Didn’t think so.

Madonna launches clothing line for teens
Madonna is following in the footsteps of many other celebrity designers and will be launching an affordable juniors clothing line coming soon to a Macy’s near you. Any guesses on what the name of her new line will be?The Queen of Pop has teamed with Iconix—the brand behind Badgley Mischka, Bongo, Candie’s, London Fog and Roca Wear to create a “fast-fashion” collection launching exclusively at Macy’s called “Material Girl.”
Madonna won’t be the only designer. The collection is created with and inspired by the fashionista-in-training who is her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes.
The clothes will range in price from $12 to $40. In addition to shirts, skirts and such, the stylish duo know you wouldn’t be “Vogue”-ready without the coordinating shoes, jewelry and handbags.

Dall'abito al costume al personaggio
Raccontare tramite l’abito normalmente è raccontare qualcosa di sè, dell’individuo che porta l’abito – perchè l’abito è espressione della sua personalità. Ma oltre che della singola persona, l’abito parla anche del suo contesto socioculturale, del suo tempo ed ambiente.
Gli abiti significanti della nostra contemporaneità inoltre sono sincretici, come la nostra cultura che si nutre di altre culture, più o meno lontane nel tempo e nello spazio: le adotta, reinterpreta ed espone, simili ma differenti.
È così che ritornano di moda i vari decenni – somiglianti ma non uguali: tornano le spalline ed i colori shock, ma nella versione 2010, che ricorda molto l’85 e tuttavia rimane diversa – perchè nell’85, suvvia… eravamo ridicoli.
Prendiamo dalle culture tribali dell’Africa e dell’Australia le dilatazioni, i tatuaggi, le treccine; li facciamo nostri fino a che diventano banali oggetti da mercato, fino a che cambiano connotazione, fino a che a nessuno viene più in mente l’Australia a vedere un tribale tatuato su un braccio. Al massimo vengono in mente i tatuaggi temporanei che si trovavano nei sacchetti delle patatine.
L’outfit come forma di espressione sincretica dell’individuo racconta la storia ed il background culturale di chi lo indossa tramite l’associazione di elementi tratti da diverse culture, che raccontano diversi mondi. Il passo è breve da qui a raccontare la storia di un individuo che non necessariamente o solo parzialmente coincide con il soggetto reale che indossa l’abito.

Madonna's Boy Toy Gets Splashed In The Grill & Cries.
Jesus Luz had a bad night in Rio on Sunday. Madonna’s boy toy was deejaying at a party for the best samba schools that participated in Carnival when a guest came up and threw beer in his face, saying, “Get out of here, I don’t wanna see your face here anymore!” As reported by iG Gente magazine, Luz “went to a corner and started to cry.” He only finished the gig when four bodyguards were assigned to flank him. But Luz might have the last laugh — he just signed with Warner Music, Madge’s label, and will release his first record in April. smh.

Idol Thoughts -- 02.23.10 -- Live Blog
Trying this out…live blogging.
Paige Miles – “All Right Now” by Free – Surprising song choice. Simon Cowell is right. This is one of those Wedding Singer-type of songs that can be hard to distinguish yourself singing. Wanted to like it more than I did. She’s got pipes. Pick a better song next time.
Ashley Rodriguez — “Happy” by Leona Lewis. Ashley’s a great looking woman. The singing got a little pitchy at times. I’ve been a big fan…up to now. This was a step backwards.
Janell Wheeler – “What About Love” by Heart – Hmmm. This is not very good. The singing’s flat and the performance feels nervous–awkward and too “mannered.” I’d suggest going back to chalkboard and rethinking song choice for next week. More like the Estelle song she did at Hollywood Week.
Lilly Scott – “Fixing A Hole” by The Beatles – One of the most unexpected song choices on Idol ever. This is a classic, to be certain. But it’s far from the Beatles best known song. Jazzy take on it. She’s doing her own thing. And it’s good! Nice job.
Katelyn Epperly – “Oh Darling” by The Beatles – Hard not to love a girl sportin’ Madonna’s hair from the Like A Virgin album cover. This girl can sing. At moments, her voice reminds me (just a little) of Kelly Clarkson. My fave so far.
Haeley Vaughn – “I Want To Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles – Looks like those CD reissues and their Rock Band edition has this group of singers all over the Beatles catalog tonight. I like Haeley’s re-arrangement. In theory. Some notes were quite nice. But some others not so much. She’s got much potential. She just needs to be more consistent and pull it all together. Ellen nut-shelled this performance: “If it was a mess, it was a hot mess.”
Lacey Brown – “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac – I wonder if sitting down on a stool for your song on the first live show is a good idea. I say get up and let people see you. But maybe she’ll stick out by being different. First note wasn’t good. Thought maybe she’d turn it around. But she kept going back to some odd notes. Not my fave tonight. My guess is Lacey could be in trouble.
Michelle Delamor – “Fallen” by Alicia Keys – Wow. Sounds great and looks very comfortable on stage. She’s operating on a higher level than the others we’ve seen so far. I agree with Kara DioGuardi. She needs to develop more uniqueness and believability. Take risks, as Randy Jackson told her.
Didi Benami – “The Way I Am” by Ingrid Michaelson – Wondering how this will go. Didi’s known for the waterworks. Hope she’s ready for the judges comments, either way they go. She’s got some skills. But Simon’s got a point. There’s several singers in the competition going for the same sound. Simon and Randy riffing about tonight’s show, basically saying, “Where’s the star power?” Agreed. Some of these performances have been pretty sleepy tonight.
Siobhan Magnus – “Wicked Game” by Chris Issak – Great Song. When Chris Issak sings it. Siobhan’s version is not working for me. A little too “formal” sounding for my taste. My friend Phil Stacey (yes, Idol’s Phil Stacey) is making a good point on Facebook. The band is mixed very, very low behind her voice. He says that means they “are NOT helping her.” I hope he doesn’t mean that they’re doing that intentionally. I hope she sticks around. I’d like to hear more from her. She feels genuine.
Crystal Bowersox – “Hand In My Pocket” by Alanis Morissette – She gets a cheer for playing the harmonica. That might be an Idol first. Good stuff–but I was expecting to be blown away a little more. Like Randy and Ellen, I’m a fan. I suspect Crystal could make some music I’d want to listen to. Agree with Simon. She needs to expand beyond her “coffee house” sound.

VARIATIONS ON A THEME: 1986/2010
Here are two pictures playing with over-accessorizing 25 years apart. ELISA took the first picture around 1986 when I was completely in the thrall of Madonna and Cyndi Lauper and the mania for a full sleeves of accessories (I remember reading that Quincy Jones made Cyndi remove her sleeve of bracelets and bangles during the “We Are The World” recording session because the mics were picking up the noise!). In the 80s, more was more, it seems. ELISA took the second picture a few weeks ago – I still get the occasional nostalgic urge to over-accessorize, and when I do, I go to my stash of arm trash which is basically filled with the same old pieces. As you can see, the bubble watch is the same in both pictures, as is the stainless “Maripolitan” bracelet with the magnetic chips, which I blogged about a few weeks ago. Somehow, I lost the beautiful leather bracelets we bought in the summer of 1984 when we were smoking hash, I mean, studying in London. – DAVID

Poptelefoner og videotelefoner
Den siste tiden har jeg skrevet blogginnlegg knyttet til både Grammy Awards og Brit Awards (her og her). Opptredener ved disse anledningene er viktige, og det er mange framføringer som har satt spor etter seg. Det kan udmerket også bli resultatet av Lady Gagas performance under årets Brit Awards tirsdag. Med en hyllest til Alexander McQueen og i et antrekk av en annen verden framfører hun “Telephone” og “Dance in the Dark”:
Åpenbart er dette mer enn en konsertframføring. Dette er – i en eller annen forstand – musikkteater; det er performance, det er Gesamtkunstwerk. Faktisk synes jeg på mange måter den wagnerske termen passer best.
Samtidig, og i tråd med en av de andre besettelsene mine, så er låten “Telephone” interessant (for mer om telefoner og pop se her). Lady Gaga skrev låten med tanke på at Britney Spears skulle gjøre den. Det ble det intet av, men istedet gjorde hun den selv, på albumet The Fame Monster, sammen med Beyoncé. Og telefonen finnes ikke bare i tittelen; lyden av en telefon kan høres, teksten anvender telefonene som en metafor i forhold til kommunikasjo og særlig kommunikasjonssammenbrudd. Bilder fra den kommende videoen viser også Lady Gagas hår satt opp som en telefon.
Stillbilder viser også Lady Gaga og Beyoncé kjørende i en bil vi kjenner igjen fra Quentin Tarantinos Kill Bill:
Tarantino-referansen bringer oss også til den forrige gangen Lady Gaga og Beyoncé samarbeidet. Også her er det telefoniske i sentrum. Her er videoen til “Video Phone” (regisert av Hype Williams):
Låten var først med på andre halvdel av I Am … Sasha Fierce, men det er en remiks-utgave, der Lady Gaga også er med, som er grunnlaget for videoen.
Åpningen har både en tarantinosk klang og stemming (med mer enn hint av Reservoir Dogs). Underveis er det også rikelig anledning til diverse våpen, og dermed også hint av noen av de samme dimensjonene som Rihannas senestre videoer (se her). Men i en slags dialog med Lady Gagas låt er det også her det telefoniske som framheves. Samtidig er dette en annen form for telefon; billedtelefonen åpner for det visuelle som en like viktig – eller viktigere – dimensjon enn det auditive. Og dette kommer fram ved den mannlige karakteren (ved 0:48) som slett ikke er all ears, men all eye. Hodet har blitt “erstattet” av en kameralinse. Og foran kameraet er Beyoncé – eller skal vi heller si Sasha Fierce? – åpenbart et objekt, og snarere enn telefonens nivelering av subjekt/objekt-forholdet iscenesettes kameraets fokus på et slikt forhold. Samtidig kan man hevde at objektiveringen problematiseres, både siden Beyoncé i videoen er artisten og hovedpersonen men også, og ikke minst, siden det såkalte objektet her tar kontrollen over blikket. Dog, en eventuell radikalitet her bør også utfordres; selv om Beyoncé framstår som å være i kontroll er det en kontroll på rimelig heteronormative premisser, noe som gjør en feministisk kritikk av det mannlige blikk mer vansklig å lese inn i videoen (jeg har tidligere kommentert hvordan det er vanskelig å argumentere for et feministisk alternativ i forhold til Beyoncés seneste produksjon). Men ved 3:21 ses en av kameramennene truffet av piler, så det er en slags fare forbundet med blikket like vel. Samtidig kobles dette med referanser til Betty Page, og igjen er det det kvinnelige blikkfang som står i sentrum. Skytevåpnene som anvendes synes også å ha en forbindelse til kameraene – som kjent skyter både kameraer og våpen (photo shot) – samtidig som en fallisk dimensjon åpnes. Selv om det er kvinnene som håndterer skytevåpnene her synes dermed forbindelsen mellom pin-up og våpen å framheve et konservativt kvinnebilde.
Referansen til Reservoir Dogs gjør også at jeg igjen kan poste åpningssekvensens diskusjon om Madonna (se også her):
På en måte minner Tarantino oss om at populærkultur også er show og underholdning. Og kanskje vil jeg endre mening om denne konteksten når jeg får sett videoen til “Telephone.” Referansen til Kill Bill, og Uma Thurmans karakter, åpner i det minste for et noe annet kvinnebilde enn det som kommer fram i “Video Phone.” I det minste vil nok den telefoniske logikken bli tydeligere der – slik den er det i Lady Gagas tekst.

MADONNA IS LOVING RIO CARNIVAL WITH JESUS LUZ
There’s an old saying back in New Zealand, that “you’re only as young as the person you’re feeling.” In Madonna’s case, that appears to be true.
Madonna looks absolutely radiant as she enjoys the Rio Carnival in Brazil with her beau Jesus Luz. Good for her!
And don’t you love the Kiwi sense of humor. Too funny!

Los Razzies: 10 años de trabajo resumidos en una frambuesa
Por Clara Jiménez Cruz
Los Razzies son los premios que entrega la Golden Raspberry Award Foundation (que viene a ser algo así como la Fundación de Premios de la Frambuesa Dorada) a las peores películas, actuaciones, guiones y direcciones del año; lo cual los convierte en unos premios muchas veces más interesantes que los Oscars, porque al menos nos arrancan una carcajada recordando algunos de los estrenos. Además, este año vienen por partida doble, ya que al ser la trigésima edión de los mismos no sólo van a premiar lo pero del año, ¡sino también lo peor de la década! Pero vamos por partes…
En el año 2009 se hicieron muchas buenas películas, como se puede apreciar en las 10 nominaciones a mejor película de los Oscars de este año (si es que eso puede ser un parámetro de calidad), pero también se invirtió mucho dinero en hacer películas malas y que por tanto han sido nominadas a peor película del año por los académicos de la frambuesa, a destacar títulos como G.I. Joe o Transformers 2. Entre los peores actores del año cuantan por descontado con el puesto los tres Jonas Brothers así como John Travolta por su actuación estelar en Dos Canguros muy Maduros; aunque la categoría femenina no tiene desperdicio con nombres como Sandra Bullock en su supuesto intento de hacer un papel serio en una comedia…debió de confundir el género, Sarah Jessica Parker de testigo protegido o Beyoncé en su lucha contra una maniaca sexual rubia. En fin, todo tesoros.
Pero para tesoros lo que descubrimos al echarle un ojo a las categorías de lo peor de la década: es empezar y no parar. 
Bromas aparte, los Razzies son unos premios que en mi opinión no le vienen nada mal al cine, y tampoco a los espectadores, porque además, para poder votar no hace falta haber ganada uno como en los Oscars, si no que basta con pagar una cuota anual para poder organizarlos y nos da derecho a elegir la peor película del año. ¿Se animan?

Taylor Swift Wins Album of the Year; Grammys Are Now Irrelevant
I really don’t have much to say other than if the Grammys are going to award a mediocre 20-year-old singer (did you hear her sing off pitch with Stevie Nix?) who warbles about high school bull poo, then the American music industry really does have a problem. Actually, what am I talking about? Our music industry has glorified mediocre singers going back to Madonna (lady puts on a damn good show and is a master at reinventing herself, but her actual singing voice is meh, at best) and further back–I just can’t think beyond Madge at the moment. Brittany Spears is another modern-day example of a singer who is all packaging, no voice. The music industry just seems to be getting worse and worse.
Anyway, I can’t stand listening to FM radio anymore because I just get bombarded with mediocre music and advertisements. Basically, satellite radio is the way to go.
Who can fill Samantha Harris's 'Dancing with the Stars' shoes?
When I heard that Samantha Harris is leaving ‘Dancing with the Stars’ I thought, “Aw, that’s too bad. Who’s the celebrity she’s dancing with again? Oh. She’s the co-host? Oh.”
While I’m sure tens, if not twenties of fans might be devastated with the news, it’s also a perfect chance for me to bring out my “IF I WERE A NETWORK EXEC” game and tell you who I think should take over her model behind the mic duties. Here are my picks. Vote at the bottom of the page or add your own nominee.
1. The Big get: Paula Abdul.
Zap2it.com
As my column colleague, Elizabeth Snead at Zap2it.com, mentioned last week, the rumor mill has had her in talks since last year to sign on to the show. Yeah, I get it, she’s a dancer, and hosting/judging is on her resume. But have these suit monkeys bothered to tune in and watch her circling the drugged out drain towards Ozzy’s world? If they want to bring in a walking episode of ‘Intervention’(and who doesn’t love watching live trainwrecks?), then Paula’s the right choice.
2. The Impressive Get: Jennifer Lopez
Zap2it.com
She’s a trained dancer with a new cd and movie to promote. It’s a show that would love a boost in ratings and clout. What could be a better combo? Although J-Lo might see the move as slumming it, a hosting gig with DWTS would give her a chance to show her non-diva, I-was-a-fly-girl-once side that might just get her (and the show) more fans. And let’s face it. That girl can work a dress. (It’s sort of a DWTS job requirement.)
3. The Graduate Get: Marie Osmond
ABC
As one of DWTS’s most talked about contestants, her faint-felt-around-the world might be the ticket to a steady prime-time gig. She’s got the chops, the gams and enough time behind a mic to get camera ready tout suite. Now if only she can get time off from playing pitchman for NutriSystem and her Vegas act with brother Donny.
4. The Safe Get: Drew Lachey
Zap2it.com
He’s already filled in for Harris during her pregnancy, so this interview should be relatively easy. And as a another DWTS graduate and winner, Lachey has an edge on which deeply probing questions to ask in the ever-important backstage interview. Unfortunately for Lachey, the balance of gender powers would tilt heavily towards the testosterone side, even if some of those guys tilt the other way…
5. The Impossible Get: Madonna
Zap2it.com
We can dream can’t we? Who wouldn’t love watching Madge tell off Hasselhoff for not keeping his line straight? And if anyone gets remotely more popular than the Dancing Queen herself, we all get treated to a Madonna v. Celebrity dance off. Suh-Weet!

Is The Boy With The Cold Hard Cash Always Mr. Right?
A few days ago I heard the Madonna song “Material Girl”
(Above–A scene from the video to Material Girl.)
One line in the song is–“The boy with the cold hard cash is always Mr. Right.”
Do I agree with this viewpoint?
Should you agree with this viewpoint?
In my opinion, you should not concur with this stance.
We should like and love people based on their merits.
We should look hard past superficial qualities to see people as they are.
Life is brief and brutal. Let us like people for the right reasons.
Let us take today as a good day to take stock of the people in our lives and to see if we are doing right by them.

Divas Rule Telethon
A TELETHON to raise money for Haiti following a recent earthquake was ruled by the divas at the weekend – and raised a massive £57 million and counting in the process.
Movie stars, presenters and musicians stood side by side to raise money for the country thanks to Mr George Clooney who organised the gig.

There Has Been A Reform In The French Public Transport
What I have been speculating for months has finally come true there has been a reform in the public transport in france,
The french were getting annoyed with the amount of money you had to pay for the public transport and demanded a price reduction of €2 as that’s what most of the general public wanted, the french president Nicholas Sarcosie has made a statement regarding this issue “As president of france it is my duty to make sure I take care of the general public and as I do I like to make sure that they are happy with decisions made , I didn’t notice that there was a problem in the public transport until recently when one of my collages presented me a petition signed by the majority of the public stating that they could not stand the high prices of public transport and wanted a €2 reduction and I was happy to oblige after a 3 hour discussion , I would never dismiss anything as I am a very truthful man and I would like to hope I have respect of the nation this is why I let this pass and I now hope that the public is satisfied with the fee to travel with. Also I have now taken a reduction in the charge of a family or two people traveling together
If you are a family of four people or more you get €4 reduced from your fee
And if your two people traveling together you get a €2 reduction.
I hope this suits everyone and as it has not taken affect yet and will not until March 2010 you will have to pay the same fares, Thank you”
OMG I told you this would happen lolz and I was right so you can kiss my feet and suck my toe lolz
I would like everyone to know that I got that translated from a french website and I don’t know if it is correct or accurate but please tell me if you are french and if that’s what was said comment on it and or follow me on twitter

It's Hard to Be Madonna...
…especially when Lady Gaga is effortlessly hijacking all your column inches in the press lately.
Methinks the harsh reality is: When your “Boy Toy” is 22 year old model and aspiring DJ Jesus Luz, you can’t always expect to look like a vamped-up Italian housewife as portrayed in your sexy new Dolce & Gabbanna ads between takes. Right, Madge?!
Maybe it’s time to finally let go of that mantle without a fight. God knows Gaga thinks she can handle it…with a little help from her “monsters,” of course!

Gaultier, 1992
Gaultier and Madonna in one of his rather revealing designs
There are few pairings of designers and celebrity that can match the charisma and intensity of Madonna and Jean Paul Gaultier. His infamous cone bras re-established the performer as hyper sexual eccentric and created one of her many iconic looks.

Guy Ritchie: The Music Mogul?
Madonna’s Ex Guy Ritchie is following in her footsteps by carving out a career in the music industry – well sort of.
The Sherlock Holmes director has launched his own record company Punchbowl Recording which is named after his London pub – and his fact act has been signing the venue’s house band…how random.
Previously Madonna has stated that Ritchie is a bit obsessed with the pub but this is a step to far.
The venture, however, could work out as the group are in demand with stars like actor Robert Downey Jr. and Stella McCartney booking them for private gigs.
Ritchie said: “It’s exciting to venture into the music industry. It’s a tough place but I’ve seen this band connect with people. They have every chance of being embraced by a wider audience.”
Ritchie’s Irish rockers’ debut album, Journey, is due out on 1 March.
Insomniac's Blog #1
Hello this is about my 2nd blog since 2010 I think,
There was loads of snow and the country had decided to close our schools for like a week so now we are going back today we’ll in the morning
I have to get up at 8AM its now 3AM what am I gonna do I hate this cause if I go asleep now I will have 5 hours sleep but I cannot even focus on going asleep I have been like this for days now and I think that I might have to resort to start drinking Camomile tea again even though I am still tired until like 12PM the next day but its worth it because I can sleep I hate this and I hate the fact that I have to back to school where I have my creativity stripped and my identity taken as I am mentally abused daily and the only time it ever gets to me is at night when I’m all alone and there’s no one around.
When I mean that’s the only time it gets to me is because when no ones around I don’t have to have this protective barrier up so I can’t get hurt but when no ones around all my thoughts come through sometimes its a good thing cause I write good music and stories/scripts but other times its just like I need to hide or mainly I need to sleep when I wake up it will be gone(these are on one of my worst days cause its when I don’t wanna do anything and I just wanna be left alone and I don’t even do a thing I just ly down and watch tv and I really do anything) some people have summin’ to say like I am too lazy we’ll I’ve got this to say try being me and see how long you last
Insomnia and many other issues(school and that’s it) see how long you would last
I think I deal with it very we’ll and the other times we’ll I just feel great like nothing will get me down no one can hurt me i kinda feel free for a while
I blame Ireland I just don’t wanna live here or go to school anymore I just wanna be famous and do a kinda job that I would be good at and want to do and get we’ll paid here’s a list
Singer
Writer
Director
Clothing designer
Household items
Go on tour
Help the poverished in africa

Please someone help me before its too late and before my creativity dies

Madge 'New Album leak'
Not More!!!
It seems that the queen of pop is back! Madonna is back in the studio for the follow up to 2008 ‘Hard Candy’
The untitled album is already a collaboration cocktail with DJ’s such has David Guetta, Fernando Garibay and A-Trak.
DJ A-Trak said of the collaboration “It’s my production, turned into song structure – halfway between rap and electronic and whatever else I listen to.”
Pearl Jam’s producer Brendan O’Brien, is rumored to be involved in her new album which leads us to believe there’s going to be some rock/electro infused tunes.
I’m sure it will be huge success in the club scene.
Don’t keep us waiting too long, Madge!
