Kelis to release “4th Of July (Fireworks)” as second single

The visuals along with the music for Kelis’s new album and singles are ravishing. Her fashions, not so much. Ever song from Fleshtone could be released as a single but this one is a highlight, so we are glad she chose that. She needs to get the props she deserves for this effort. This is the official cover.

Madonna’s statement on Malawi’s gay couple who have been sentenced to 14 years in prison for being gay

4


“I am shocked and saddened by the decision made today by the Malawian court, which sentenced two innocent men to prison. As a matter of principle, I believe in equal rights for all people, no matter what their gender, race, color, religion, or sexual orientation. Today, Malawi took a giant step backward. The world is filled with pain and suffering; therefore, we must support our basic human right to love and be loved. I call upon the progressive men and women of Malawi – and around the world – to challenge this decision in the name of human dignity and equal rights for all.”  – Madonna

Really? After all of the hoopla that surrounded this subject and after everything this couple has gone through Madonna releases this lame statement when the court decision has been made. It’s just another one of those things where Madonna could have done something but waited until she couldn’t and then released an altruistic kumbaya kind of jargon.
