Alesha Dixon tries a different approach
1
After the demise of her debut album Fired Up, which was only released in Japan and did well, she comes back with a totally different approach. Her new sound is less street more big band. I don’t know if it’ll work and it reminds me of “Mambo No. 5,” but, maybe the kids will like it.
Fashion Is Our Passion: The Junk De Luxe Scarf/Cardigan
4
The Junk De Luxe Scarf/Cardigan doesn’t really keep you warm for the winter but it sure does make you look hip. There are different ways to tie it and its only claim to practicality are the handy pockets. Other than that it is such a nice novelty piece that you’d have to carry it with panache and only wear it once.
It’s Official: Madonna has divorced…
1
The reps have confirmed it and I have to say I am glad. I mean he was dead weight. He is responsible for some of the worst bits in her career: Music, Hard Candy. She left her brother Christopher for him. She changed totally and it looked like she was OK with living a normal life all married and settles. You’re Madonna, you’re the beacon of pop change. You’re not meant for menial things like marriage and family and societal standards. You are supposed to carry humanity higher. OK, I am just going on now.
What happened to Melanie B (Scary Spice)?
1
So, she disappeared for a while to LA and them released her second album LA State Of Mind which sold a measly 620 copies in its first week. So another single never surfaced although some fun beats where on that album. Then she started dating scum of the earth Eddie Murphy. Who left her pregnant and then claimed that the child was not his. Then she got DNA tests and proved it was his. She should’ve just told him the baby came out ugly. He accepted prompting Victoria Beckham called him “Beverly Hills Cock.”
Then she joined the girls back on the successful tour which completely disregarded all of their fans from the southern and eastern hemispheres. Then she claimed she is putting the finished touches to her third album and announced herself as the opener of Janet Jackson’s tour, which Jackson’s camp denied.
She just came out of the ill-fated reality show with has-been Joey Fatone and is set to announce another reality show about fashion to coincide with her clothing line Catty Couture.
My advice: Get out of LA. Get into London. Channel early 90s’ Neneh Cherry. Make an album.
Ailin’ Palin, Vol. 8: The Obama vs. McCain debate
1
“Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago,” McCain said.
Well, he doesn’t have to be Bush.
I have followed McCain since 1999 when I heard that one of my friends from Wyoming was going to write him in as her presidential candidate. I don’t know where that friend is now (Ali? where are you?). In any case, I know that McCain is not as much of a conservative as most of the Republican camp and I also feel like McCain put the crazy conservative hat on just to get all of the voters who put Bush into office. But, because he did that and because of his horrible choice of a vice presidential candidate, he lost many voters.
It’s too late now, and I am glad. But, had he stuck to his old doctrine and picked someone who had read the US Constitution, maybe he’d be up there in the rankings. I wasn’t an Obama fan at first, I am skeptical still. I don’t have many choices. And I can’t vote. Maybe McCain’s strategy was supposed to be luring the liberals instead of fluffing it up for the conservatives. Because now, the conservatives don’t have a choice but McCain.
I can’t wait to see Michelle Obama walk into the Oval Office.
