Jewel to release new album in June

We really are not too excited about this news. The truth is we haven’t like anything Jewel has done in years since 0304. Her first and second albums were monumental, until she decided to do some twang and switch from folk to country. Her third album was nice and her experimental dance  album of adequate. But, the albums that came after – Goodbye Alice In Wonderland and Perfectly Clear - were complete balderdash, only to top it off with the monumentally gross Lullaby. Well, the next album is not going to be any better by the sounds of its as she is meddling with the country sound again in her Texas ranch. They new single “Stay Here Forever” doesn’t sound promising either.

Premiere: Video: “Go Do” by Jónsi

“Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson is the guitarist and vocalist for the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós. He is known for his use of a cello bow on guitar and his falsetto voice. Jónsi is blind in his right eye. He is also openly gay, and his boyfriend Alex Somers has done much of the graphic design for Sigur Rós.” He is ready to venture into his solo career and this is his first single, which is not that far away from her previous efforts. His solo album is titled Go and will be released April 5, 2010. Excerpt from Wikipedia.

Official album cover for Monica’s “Still Standing”

Good angling and whole lotta light will not fix thing artwork. We hope the frame doesn’t come with the finished product, because that would just be tacky. Still Standing has been in the works for a while now, so it’s about time it good released even if it might not contain one good track like its predecessor with a ghettofabulous sleeve The Makings Of Me. The name of this new album is also the name of her reality show.

RuPaul and contestants!

Some art has sprung up in support of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 2 just in time for the second episode Starrbootylicious. We are going to spoil it for you now and say that both Shangela and Nicole Page Brooks have been eliminated and we think they both deserved to stay longer. There are other bitches that needed to go and go fast, but we are not going to haterade. We just want to see Pandora Boxx and some of the other contestants climb up! Does anyone else think that Untucked is the bee’s knees or what?

Stills from Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” video

There is no telling what will go on the green, but from the front visual only we can tell it will be a great video. “Rude Boy” is Rihanna’s next single and will probably be a big summer hit whether it is good or not.

Premiere: Video: “Don’t Tell Me That It’s Over” by Amy MacDonald

We were so excited to this, but, now that we’ve heard it it’s quite a departure from the Amy MacDonald we got to know from her debut album. Yet, this could just be the first single that is supposed to get attention for the project. They other tracks on the album might be up to par. Her new album A Curious Thing comes out March 8, 2010. Let’s hope she doesn’t fade into Sandi Thom oblivion.

Madonna’s new boy toy is allegedly Jon Kortajarena

Allegedly, Madonna has moved on from Jesus Luz onto this model. This news is all over the web including MSN.com. They say: “Poor Jesus Luz! The Brazilian model only managed to keep his place in Madonna’s heart for less than a year. The insatiable man eater is now to be seen alongside another Latin lover, the very sexy Jon Kortajarena. The singer fell for this 24 year old Spanish model during the premiere of the film by Tom Ford, “A Single Man”, in which the olive skinned hunk has a small role. Madonna certainly has taste: last December “Forbes” magazine placed Jon Kortajarena among the 8 best top models in the world! As for Jesus Luz, he has plenty to worry about. Furious that he had the audacity to announce their break up to the press himself, Madonna has vowed to ruin his career. That’s what happens when you get involved with a human praying mantis!”

Robin Thicke and Nicki Minaj visit David Letterman

Nicki Minaj is as big as anyone can get without releasing a single single, if you know what we mean. She’s recording with everyone from MC to Robin Thicke to Cassie. Let’s hope her music can hold up to her image. This song is tired, though. Does Robin Thicke look like a friend of dorothy’s in this clip or what?
