Speaking technically, Kuwait is currently #1 in the Middle East and the Arab World when it comes to freedom of the press. As much as we’d like to boast and rant on this accomplishment, it was not really due to Kuwait’s adamant effort on rectifying some of its freedom faults, but is a result of other countries faltering. This comes on because of Israel’s atrocious behavior in handling media rights during the horrific Gaza Strip massacre. Yes, Kuwait rose to #60 and became the Middle East’s champion merely because Israel fell hard. Inching closer is Lebanon right after at #61 (rising). Then the UAE at #86 and Qatar at #94, both of which steeply down. Still, is #60 good enough? It’s 60 out 175, which gives Kuwait a grade of 65.8/100. That’s a D!

November 17th that Sarah Palin’s autobiographical work Going Rogue: An American Life comes to shops. It’s also the day that the Nation release Going Rouge: An American Nightmare. Yes, the wicked liberals have come up with a book highlighting everything Sarah Palin doesn’t want you to know with a sleeve that looks the same but doesn’t feel the same (notice the lightning in the back). We hope some conservatives will get confused as some of them wouldn’t know the difference between “rouge” and “rogue” if they worked at a cosmetics counter.

Beverley Knight’s latest, 100%, has a whole lot of hot beats. This is the second single and it’s be mixed again to include chart-topping rapper Chipmunk.

Adam Lambert graces the cover of Details magazine and goes heterosexual. The jury is still out on whether is was for shock value or because Details is a big closeted magazine. But, nonetheless, it’s a nice spread. In other news, his first single “Time For Miracles” has leaked across teh blogosphere and it’s less glam more road-trippy acoustica. We hope he does more poppy songs.

Chasing Wild Horses is a beautiful story of reverence and splendour. Roberto Dutesco, New York City’s top fashion photographer, works with human beauty every day. Raised in Canada, his unique artistic eye has brought him fame and recognition throughout the fashion world. Many years ago, he took a small plane to Sable Island, where he found an exceptional environment that would change his perception of beauty and undeniably impact on his art. The discovery, on this unique island, of wild, long-maned, untamed horses, running through the dunes was an aesthetic experience like no other for Roberto. He became fixated with the natural beauty of the untouched wild horses.

Angie Stone

Angie Stone is back. Her new album is called Unexpected and the title comes too close to Michelle Williams’ album of the same title. The first single is “I Ain’t Hearin’ You” and it should be on radio sometime soon. The album is slated for a February 2010 release and we recommend that she change that horrid album cover with all the time she has.
