Finally got the iPad!

We managed to get it with the last standing dock in the entire country. It’s 64 GB, that means it could only take a third of our music collection if we decided to fill it up completely. Let’s not even consider the videos. So, we just settled for Undersea Poem’s debut and Kate Nash’s My Best Friend Is You (maybe tomorrow Janelle Monae’s Archandroid and Natalie Merchant’s Leave Your Sleep). But, we love it. We already got all the magazine subscriptions that we can’t get over here because some censor decided to have a field day on boobies. The application is called Zinio and we got yearly memberships of Rolling Stone and Out. Because, we are. It’s smooth and handy. We love it and can’t get enough of it. And, no, it’s not a big iPhone or a small Macbook Air. It’s a creature of its own, especially if you like reading. Best apps post coming up soon. We called it LoftPad, bitches.

Sugababes might miss the top 10!

1

The midweek sales for the Sugababes new album Sweet 7 show that the girls might  not land in the top ten. Right about now the sales indicate a 11-12 spot. Even Paloma Faith who released her album last year might be in the top 10. It seems that the fans aren’t too happy with the lineup change as, let’s put it frankly, it’s not the Sugababes anymore. Keisha Buchanan must having a great time receiving the news. Sweet 7 can make or break those girls’ careers.

Heidi Montag talks about her 10 plastic surgeries

She’s 23 and she’s doing all that and that’s good for her if she really wants it, but she is a on tweak away from being Jocelyn Wildenstein. Her jaw is soar still, yeah that’s why she’s not singing. Still, we can’t get over the fact that she compared her album Superficial (aptly titled might we add) to Michael Jackson’s Thriller!

  • Lady GaGa: Everyone and their grandma’s dog will be doing this one, but it’s timely and fierce.
  • Kanye West: a bottle of Hennessey and a leather top. Tip: keep interrupting people when they speak.
  • Michelle Obama: Just look generally fierce. Avoid blackface.
  • La Roux’s Elli Jackson: Pasty look, colorful jacket and red Elvis wig. Avoid whiteface.
  • RuPaul: just drag it up in high heels and big hair.
  • Swine Flu: dress as a piglet and cough on people.
  • A “Single Lady”: learn the dance moves to Beyonce’s song and wear something skimpy.
  • Anything Circus-y: Britney did it, P!nk did it, Take That did it and Kelly Clarkson wanted to.
  • Michael Jackson: anything MJ will go and flow in 2009.
  • A Republican: Red tie, Rochester Big & Tall suit, frown and the smell of ignorance.
  • Farrah Fawcett: blonde wig and a whole lotta volume.
  • Glenn Beck: bad suit, tears in your eyes, quiver in the lips and just plain lie.
  • Jonas Brothers: requires a threesome, huge brows and chastity rings.
  • Perez Hilton: colorful sweater, colorful hair and gossip all night.
  • Brüno: camp it up but be gentle, now!
  • Twitter: come as a blue bird and refer to people with an “@” before their names.
  • Marge Simpson: blue hair, yellow paint and naked.
  • New iPod Nano: pick a color and stick a camera in your back.
  • Glee Club: any character.
  • Ongina: my pick.
  • Kathy Griffin: fire-ginger wig that doesn’t touch the side of your head and be loud.
  • Gloria Estefan: Why not?

Mariah Carey gets 27th top 10 hit with “Obsessed”

This is for all the naysayers that tried to put this single down. After weeks lingering just outside the Billboard Top 10, “Obsessed” broke in at #7 becoming her 27th top 10 single. Yes, she’s now tied with Janet Jackson and Elton John. I always thought it was a great track. Now, watch “I Want To Know What Love Is” get there, too. Side note: where’s “Celebration?”

Britney Spears does David Letterman’s Top 10

Is she making fun of herself or is she being played? Not so sure about this. Why in a bikini? Anyway, it’s not as funny as his other ones. “Pie for everyone” – what is that? Abhorrent!

Several new species found in Colombia…

0203salamander

Ten new amphibian species have been found in the westernmost part of Colombia bordering Panama. This area is consdiered a safe have for amphibian living. These new discoveries of species keep popping a couple of times a year and it is always the usual suspects: the Amazon forest, The indonesian archipelago or Madagascar. So, maybe they should just have expeditions in these area and tally all the “new” species they found, some of which pre-date the human. Click for more picture:

India Arie releases two new singles…

51ujhey-hzl_ss500_

Readying up for the release of the muchly-anticipated Testimony, Vol. 2: Love & Politics, India Arie has released not one but two singles on iTunes. “Chocolate High,” which features Musiq Soulchild or whatever he is calling himself these days and “Therapy.” The album is sounding poppier than I expect and I am a fan of the folkster in India, but I am sure it will be a great offering what with song titles such as “Vagina’s Monologues.” The album comes out 10th of February, 2009.
