From the conservative file, yet another bout of bigotry. An appointed judge named Keith Bardwell has refused to marry couple of different races. He explains “I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing the races that way.” Yet, people don’t claim a correlation between conservatism and prejudice. The truth of the matter is that something like this would not show up in a blue state. Plain and simple.

Official cover for Lady GaGa’s “Bad Romance”
7
Lady GaGa’s new single off of her deluxed album, “Bad Romance,” is being prepared for a release. This is the cover for it. It doesn’t show her face, but for GaGa that’s not a bad thing. She debuted it on Saturday Night Live and promised us that the leaked version “makes her ear bleed.” So, we might be in for a surprise and, in GaGa fashion, if it’s not that great we still have the video to wait for.

Premiere: Video: “I Feel Cream” by Peaches
The videos just keep coming from Peaches’ latest effort I Feel Cream. This time it’s the song that the album borrows it’s title from. Her vocals here are more subtle than her other tracks and it makes for a great dance song. The video is actually quite fab with its futuristic glam.

This sweater has mittens sewn in on it. it’s great for winter when you want to warm up your fingers. And, it invited people to hug you from behind. You know, they’d have to if they are cold and have no gloves. It’s only necessary! Now, if they only work on the design of the sweater. Click here to get more info or purchase.
Beyonce tried to stop Lil’ Mama for going up…
2It’s as serious. Who does Lil’ Mama think she is. Her lipgloss was not poppin’ that night. Everyone is saying the Beyonce tried to stop Lil’ Mama for going up, but, to us, it looks like Lil’ Mama tried to pull Beyonce up with her and then Beyonce refused. So she sauntered off to her doom. Anyway, it’s a laugh!
Cheryl Cole’s “Three Words” has leaked!
Record companies will try anything these days to sell you their product in this dwindling music industry. Cheryl Cole’s new album is coming as a limited edition, too. The package will have a bag and a calendar, an LP and other things. It’s apparently the “fan version.” No word on how much that will sell, but since she’s not touring, why not put the merchandise with the album and then ask for a higher price? Three Words sounds like it will be a disaster!
Premiere: Video: “I Know” by Meaghan Smith

Nadia Ali reveals cover for new single “Fine Print”
4
You might not know Nadia Ali. But, she has been shaking the dance world for a couple of years now. This Pakistani-American of Punjabi decent was one part of the dance duo iiO. They are best known for their hit song “Rapture.” Their album Poetica received moderate success, but now she wants to do it on her own. “Fine Print” is her new single and it doesn’t stray too far away from her dance roots. The cover’s not too bad either. Looking forward to finding some top-notch dance tracks on her album.
Premiere: Video: “To Love Again” by Alesha Dixon
Seriously, if they repackaged The Alesha Show and this is The Encore, then it’s really not worth. A drab ass fluff ballad that will do nothing to further her career or sales. This is a big disappointment. The deluxe edition better have some more surprises or else it’s showbiz suicide. Who on earth would release such a song. Horrid!

Reports are surfacing across the blogosphere that Leona Lewis was at her book signing for Dreams and an “unprovoked” man came up and punch her in the face. Yes, a full-grown man came a punched one of the nicest people in the music industry. The motivation behind the attack is unclear as of now and the attacker has been arrested. Leona didn’t need hospitalization but was seen leaving the Piccadilly Circus signing crying. Why would anyone want to do that to Leona?
She hates L.A.

Britney Spears has become the first artist in 3 years to debut in the top spot in the Billboard Charts. Moreover, “3″ is Britney’s third number one single. Do you see how everything comes in threes? She deserves it. She’s been pumping out some great pop tunes as of late. And “3″ is pretty good track.
