Janet Jackson is dealing with her brother’s death by jotting all her feelings down on paper. She is writing an autoiographical book. The book is supposed to be a tell-all, although I don’t know what sort of revelations everyone is expecting from the most quiet Jackson. So, now she has an album, a movie and a book in the works.
This video is better than funions! We have never heard of the band before but the animation is fantastic and the queer love story is just the cherry on top. the song’s not so bad either. But, it’s the first time we see that kind of animation. Just a pretty little video for a pretty little ditty. It’s from the 2009 album Veckatimest.
Yes, Nokia has gone and done it. They are tapping into the laptop market with this mini-”booklet” that is supposed to be coming to a store near you in the future. It’s called a the Booklet 3G and it has a 10.1-inch display. But it will have a high resolution, apparently. Also, you can put a SIM card in it, which should make for a great marriage between a laptop and a phone. I might just ditch Blackberry and go back to Nokia. You know my love for everything Finnish.
That’s some fresh sound Sy Smith has got there. It’s a perfect mixture of soul and ambient music, which was hot for a minute in the 90s’. Her album will be called Conflict and we will be sure to check it out and report back.
Designer Guus Oosterbaans has created a radio out of a rock. It looks great, even if its functionality is limited to two buttons. Here’s what he had to say about it: “My ROCK Radio. The number two in my cement-audio-series. It started of being a very nice rectangular brick shape. Then I found out that a thick layer of cement shields the radio from actually receiving radio waves. With my “Now it doesn’t work anyway” philosophy, I took a big hammer and created this Flintstones look, and the radio works!”
How fantastical and camp is that? She was coming on hard with that muscle mary. It’s simple darling! Thanks, AM.

Gets it right again.
Ingrid Michaelson of “The Way I Am” fame from the soundtrack of Grey’s Anatomy comes back with a new album. It’s called Everybody and it will include this first single. The video will land very soon.
It had to be a skull. Alexander McQueen teamed up with Hong Kong fashion house JOYCE to create a USB port drive. It carries 2GB worth of space. But you can’t get it unless you spend approximately $1,300 on fun things from the store. Then you will get what they are calling the “Truly Gifted” USB stick. What a way to make people spend their money.
His name is Fahad Al-Butairi. He has opened for some of the Axis Of Evil comedians.
Mariah Carey has pushed back her album to make room for a second single and now she is going head-to-head with Madonna. Mariah had to postpone Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel to ready up a ballad single and to avoid messing up Whitney Houston’s comeback. Meanwhile, Madonna fans are quick to point out that “Obsessed” was a flop because it peaked at #11 and didn’t break the top 10 completely omitting the fact that Madonna last three singles didn’t even break the top 50. “Celebration” is currently sitting pretty at glorious and successful #71. Madonna wishes she has an “Obsessed” position. You know she loves commercial success no matter how much she compromises her musical integrity.
Because Jermaine just can’t seem to get enough publicity, he has opted to milk the Jackson name for all its worth with a a new rumored reality show that will follow the fivesome in their day-to-day life. Apparently, the TV channel A&E had the idea before Michael Jackson’s death and even filmed a pilot for it. But when Michael refused to appear for little they killed it. Now, MJ’s dead and they want it again. I don’t know how they are going to get them all together for this show and if Rebbie is going to be part of it. LaToya will definitely be in it because she loves the camera and has nothing else to do. And Janet won’t be in it because she refuses to capitalize on Michael’s death and, also, she doesn’t need it. Her album is all that matters now. I’d kill for Jackie’s top in this pic.
Whitney Houston’s comeback album I Look To You has leaked entirely a week before it’s release date. Some tracks from the album have leaked earlier. But, some sounded like teasers. The tracks where “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” and “I Look To You.” Then the first single, the Alicia Keys-penned “Million Dollar Bill,” came out. For the past week we have heard and seen other released like “Salute.” Today, however, the entire album was made available for illegal downloading all across the blogosphere. A simple google search will get it for you. That is really bad news for the diva, especially since there has been a tight lid on this project for a while and now it is available for free. The only way to save her is to release it tomorrow on iTunes. Otherwise, she will lose a lot of her buyers.
Haven’t watched it and don’t really care at all. But, it’s just that I know how big this is for Venezuela! They value the pageants so much that their contestants are big celebrities and some even are in political office. They’re all stunning, but I bet Venezuela is celebrating like crazy tonight.
Don’t know about you but this ancient Egyptian statue looks like the legend himself!
Following the popping up of many internet and gaming rehabilitation centers in China and a few other places, the US is the latest to find a niche market for people who are addicted to their computers. The center is called reStart and it’s an internet addiction recovery program. You can check the symptoms here on their website. It will set you back $15,500 for a 45-day program. I am considering going, but was wondering if they have Wi-Fi.
Amy Winehouse is done with Blake and ready to take over again. She has recently made a public appearance with The Specials at the V Festival. She sang an old song of theirs from 1979 titled “You’re Wondering Now.” She looked sober and didn’t trip at all or hit a fan. We can’t wait for the new material from Winehouse and her father.
