Shakira wins the award for being the least scantily-clad female to cover the aging rag that is Rolling Stone magazine. She Wolf has been pushed back and, at first, we abhorred it. Now, we like a couple of tracks.
Video: “Love Songs” by Anjulie
1Anjulie’s new album is growing on us fast. It incorporates the dance that she introduced herself with when she released her debut “Boom.” But, in an unpredictable turn, Anjulie brings in some hot summer breeze beats that are more lounge than club. Of course, they are all ready for remixes.

Kuwait: Green Caravan Film Festival 2009: Blue Gold: World Water Wars
Water will be a source of global conflict, as oil is now. Based on the groundbreaking book Blue Gold: The Fight to Stop the Corporate Theft of the World’s Water by Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke, the film makes the case against commodification, proclaiming water as a precious public resource to be protected for eternity. With dwindling clean water supplies, conflicts are already developing between corporations, private investors, government interests and the human race that needs water to survive. Narrated by Malcolm McDowell, Blue Gold is a powerful exploration of existing water wars and a direct warning of what is to come.

This wasn’t expected at all. Adam Lambert has gone and created one of the fiercest covers of the year. For Your Entertainment is the 2nd place American Idol’s debut album. This is the cover for it and it is reminiscent of 80s’ androgyny. It’s like something Toya would do. The colors are exuberant and he almost looks feline. The question is: how will this cover go on Wal-Mart stands.

Controversy over Michael Jackson’s “This Is It”
This controversy behind all of this is frankly sickening. They used body doubles to do what? Emulate Michael Jackson? We all know he is often imitated and never duplicated. LaToya, as much as we love her, is getting on our nerves. She needs to concentrate on her ailing career and projects that never take off.
Official cover for Rihanna’s new album “Rated R”

This looks like it is taken from her Vogue Italia sessions. It turns out that the first single from the album is “Russian Roulette.” Also “The Wait Is Ova” is rumored to be the second single, although we don’t like it much.
