Out of the many ludicrous things I have heard in my life as a pop fan and follower this has to be up there. To my recollection Sandi Thom has had: 2 albums, 5 singles and a tour or two. Of those singles, she has had one top spot holder – “I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)” – and the rest didn’t even make the top 20 UK singles chart. That is not to say that “The Devil’s Beat” or “What If I’m Right?” didn’t have redeemable qualities. But, a greatest hits collection. That’s like the prematurest of musical abortions.

Perez Hilton assualted by Will.I.Am’s posse
2
Celebrity blogger and international shit-stirrer Perez Hilton, has been assaulted by Will.I.Am’s posse. He reported the assault on Twitter and said he was bleeding and that he needed the police to come. He had to file a report, that’s what his lawyers told him. He was in Canada for the MuchMusic Awards when it happened. This was his twitter:
“I’m in shock. I need the police ASAP. Please come to the SoHo Metropolitan Hotel now. Please. I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.”
Keira Knightly’s domestic violence ad banned
2I don’t get why this is banned. Guns are everywhere on TV. Violence is constantly aired. Why is this banned? This is real and it happens and whatever grabs people’s attention and raises awareness should be supported. I don’t like Keira that much really, mainly because she poses way too much. On the red carpet or in movies. But, I like her a bit more now that she did this. Maybe she’s getting paid. Who knows?
Rihanna beating portrayed as art
Other than the fact that the whole Andy Warhol thing has been done too many times and has to be put to rest, I don’t find this portrait that offensive and that’s a statement coming from an über-feminist like me. It is more like a testament of the times, a reminder of how far the liberation movement has come and how far it has yet to go. Or just another great conversational piece, to say the least.
Rihanna doing well, recovering during birthday
2
Rihanna’s posse released a statement on her whereabouts and how she is doing. Apparently, everything is fine and she is back in Los Angeles after a brief break in her native Barbados. She is celebrating her birthday without a the big 200-something bash her record company had planned for her and is apparently on her road to recovery. Chris Brown’s half-assed statement seems to have tinted his image further and anyone that sympathizes with him now is pretty much either a misogynist or a lunatic. The TMZ leak of the battering pictures show that it wasn’t just a tiny scuffle of sorts but a full-blown violent assault that can not be inflicted by anyone other than a criminal.
Jay-Z is mad at Chris Brown at Rihanna bashing…
16
Apparently, Jay-Z is hella mad at Chris Brown for the alleged Rihanna beating and is seeking revenger. Some sources says that he “hit the roof” and referred to Brown as “a walking dead man.” Jay-Z had been behind Rihanna’s career since the get-go and it is rumored that “Ring The Alarm” by Beyonce was written about Rihanna. This was further sparked when Rihanna was no sent an invite to Beyonce and Jay-Z’s wedding.
Was Rihanna beaten up by Chris Brown?
206
Everyone is wondering why Chris Brown was arrested. There is a lot of talk about the “unidentified female” that was violently assaulted. But this was the scenario: Both artists are slated to appear at the 51st Grammy Awards. They both attend the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party where Whitney Houston was set to make her come back performance (this picture above was taken at the entrance of that party). Then they leave together in their limo, where it supposedly happened. Some blogs report Rihanna was seen bruised. If we do the deducting, who would be in the limo other than Rihanna? Why would he beat up a random woman? If it wasn’t Rihanna, why didn’t she show up at the Grammy’s where she was set to perform with T.I.? Surely, if she wanted to dodge questions, she can skip the red carpet and just perform. This is way too cryptic. Not really, but I never liked Chris Brown and, if he did that, I sure as hell will erase him from my memory.

You get it first on LOFT965.com : Rihanna has cancelled her Grammy appearance where she was set to perform with T.I. This comes after an investigation started on the allegation that Chris Brown had violently assaulted a woman. Some blogs say that Rihanna’s face was bruised right after the couple appeared happy and close at the Clive Davis grammy party yesterday. He better not have beaten her.

Introducing… Microfilm
Not many acts can fuse two working genres and make it work. Microfilm’s sophomore album does just that. The duo have transgressed the chill-out of the likes of Zero 7 and given it a lush of electro.
The Slingshot Orchestra is a collection of pleasantly saturnine beats that borrow from a myriad of musical genres to fashion an elaborate set of songs. There are songs that can unwind the weary, like the melancholic opening track “Flooded Ballrooms,” and others that can get you prancing like “We Are Terribly Sorry For Your Loss,” which is robust with attitude yet fittingly moody.
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).
