First it was his costume party outfit of the Nazi war general and now this. Also, I remember an incident in Afghanistan when he wore a cap that had a American flag on it that read “We do bad things to bad people,” which I thought was horrid. I mean, this is not just the folly of youth. This one is demented thug that obviously thinks that he is superior to every other race and culture. The royal family are going to have to do a lot of damaged control if they want to maintain what little legitimacy they have to the rest of the world. This is just not acceptable. Especially from the third in line for the world’s greatest colonial power.

Kuwait Crime: Transsexual Bonanza

Really? What is the reason for the arrest? Too much make-up? Or just having some taste?
I don’t why people are being locked up for a victimless “crime.” This just goes to show how backwards a society is.
Britney hires Madonna’s tour director…

From Yahoo.com: “
Britney Spears has reportedly swapped the two choreographers who helped launch her recent comeback appearances for the director of Madonna’s recent world tour.
Must-Watch: Milk (2008)
1
I have been waiting for this movie for a long time. I am very familiar with Harvey Milk’s life and work. When rumors of this movie surfaced, I was both excited and anxious. I was afraid that in the hollywoodization of this film his life would be misrepresented and the issues not given the right treatment. I have to say that the movie does as much justice as can, considering the fact that it has to squeeze in a person’s life in approximately two hours.
Sean Penn has always been an actor to reckon with and James Franco is just pure eye-candy. The movie goes back in time to depict the early days of the gay civil rights movement post-Stonewall and pre-HIV/AIDS. In a time that was drenched in ignorance and intolerance towards any sexual minority. San Francisco was center stage for the liberal front, where hippies, gays and other social outcasts gathered to fit in. In the process they managed to elect the first openly gay governmental figure in US history (if you don’t count Abraham Lincoln).
George Michael in Abu Dhabi…

What a great concert it was! I know that because there wasn’t anything to the concert other than the songs and a bunch of big screens with forgettable visuals, but the music sufficed to overcome all that. Alicia did her thing and she did it well. It sounded very much like her Unplugged. Then George came on and did some singles from his impressive catalogue. The audience didn’t stop dancing and we were always gripped to his performance. I was saddened everytime he thanks people for the past 25 (or is it 27?) years. It was his farewell tour. I hope he defines “farewell” like Cher. Anyway, I heard his new Christmas song. It’s blah, but if it gets him back in the studio then that’s enough. He is such a great pop songwriter. Don’t go away!

The first time I see this. It could have been more realistic. A little grammar check would have been nice, too.
Celine Dion is desperate…
After packing seats in Vegas and assuming a creative hiatus to fulfill her aspirations of stability, Celine Dion returned with her album Talking Chances, which tanked badly. Mostly because the stuff on it isn’t as good even when she got Ne-Yo on board and other it-boys and partially because the lead single and its video are utterly ridiculous (watch it after the jump).
John McCain thinks Arabs are indecent…

I talked about this earlier and it isn’t getting enough attention. So, here we see McCain refuting a miseducated woman claims that Obama is an “Arab” and he replies “No, ma’am he’s a decent man.” Great.
Kuwait climbs freedom of speech index…

Finally, some good news. But, I have to do more research to see if it actually climbed up because it got better or because other countries have dropped down. And a note to the rest of the bloggers: being #1 in the Arab world is not really a feat.
McCain’s Anti-Arab comment…

I recently heard about this incident:
I have to say I am not surprised. One of his greatest supporters is John Hagee, who is anti-arab and also an anti-catholic homophobe. This is the kind of mentality that most republicans have and that is the driving power behind their parts. I mean he didn’t have to say it, just his refutation for the woman’s comments shows what he really thinks of arabs. And, I guess since Arabs are a small minority in the voting arena, who care?
Christina Aguilera does Abu Dhabi
1
I am very excited that Christina Aguilera is coming this way. I am thinking of getting last minute tickets to go see her. Although I know she is not exactly promoting anything but a greatest hits collection and she does not put on the best shows out there. Plus, the microphone tapping gets annoying after a while. But, it’s still Xtina and even if her last single was deplorable, she is worth the 850 AED (61 KD) for “diamond” seating. The trick now is to persuade my friends to come with me. It’s going to be hard, especially that everyone is geared up to see Kylie in November.
Fashion from Oman…

MOK is the brand name of acclaimed Omani fashion designer Mohamad Khadra. As one of the finalists of Project Fashion, Khadra made a name for his pieces and unique sense of style that has its roots in his multi-faceted past, which includes degrees from Hong Kong, Dubai and Madrid. MOK is truly fledging force in Arab arts and design. This is his Spring/Summer collection for 2009. For inquires, send an e-mail:
