Approximately two weeks after we declared Avatar to be “the greatest movie made about US foreign policy,” this shows up. Palestinian demonstrators against Israeli oppression and aggression took to the street dressed as the Na’vi tribe from planet Pandora from the movie Avatar. It’s a great analogy and, in this case, it was affective in getting them exposure.
Last week we found you a black bear that was fighting with a little house cat. Now, we have this tail-kick by a huge whale with unidentified bird species. We love inter-species fighting, unless it leads to violence, that is.
We are not really cat people, but we think this one’s rad, as Lindsay would say.

Joss Stone is one to speak her mind. Lily Allen is too. So, this looks like the feud that will go on and on. Both British mini-divas are at it. Joss started by firing at Allen.
“[Lily] needs to sell records because she’s not a singer, and that’s not an offence to her because I think that she knows that too,” Stone told the Press Association.
Joss said she is “making real music [and] people [will] come to the show” for “artist[s] like Lily … it’s about the track, their personality and their celebrity.”
Oh, no she did not just throw the first punch.
It’s here early. Cheryl Cole’s debut from Three Words. “Fight For This Love” is an OK single, but the video might pick it up.
You heard it right, the Sugababes have split up again. Amelle Berrabah has left the trio into a duo. After only two full-length albums. That’s sad, but I always thought she was the bad apple. But, then again the only constant member of the group is Keisha Buchanan, so she must be a little shit-starter.
This happened only a couple of weeks before the new album release. That sucks for them. But, they found a replacement. Eurovision loser Jade Ewen. Yes, her. She will be the new Sugababe. Seriously, who does Amelle Berrabah think she is? Leaving Heidi and Keisha all alone right before Sweet 7.
Some correct me, but I recollect that the group once said that if there was another change to the line-up, then that’ll be the end of Sugababes.
Yes, she went first to steal that Girls Aloud solo buzz that all the girls are vying for. She’s been a busy girl: doing the Out Of Control Tour, looking over Simon Cowell’s shoulder for approval and doing this solo stint. This means one thing: she probably didn’t write most, if any of the songs, which is probably a good thing. So, the first single will have to be #1 in a “I Want Your Back” by Melanie B kind of way. And, you guessed it, it’s downright R&B. You know, because she is down with the clique and shit. Anyway, this is going to steal some of the stardust from the real star Nadine Coyle, which doesn’t make me happy. But, hey, I have the Irish charts to look forward to. Click below for the track.
Mariah Carey has pushed back her album to make room for a second single and now she is going head-to-head with Madonna. Mariah had to postpone Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel to ready up a ballad single and to avoid messing up Whitney Houston’s comeback. Meanwhile, Madonna fans are quick to point out that “Obsessed” was a flop because it peaked at #11 and didn’t break the top 10 completely omitting the fact that Madonna last three singles didn’t even break the top 50. “Celebration” is currently sitting pretty at glorious and successful #71. Madonna wishes she has an “Obsessed” position. You know she loves commercial success no matter how much she compromises her musical integrity.

As I have explained before, for a Mariah Carey album to get push for earlier release is quiet rare. In fact, it has never happened before in the artist’s history. When all anticipation was directed at the last quarter of the year for the album to drop. Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel got a very early August 25th date with the single being rushed to radio now. Many speculated that that was due to Mariah wanting to qualify for this year’s award season.
But, now I think that we have the real reason. Mariah’s album, being a sure-fire number one debut, decided not to overshadow her long-time pal Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston’s tentatively titled either Undefeated or I Didn’t Know My Own Strength, which is also the titled of the first single, will drop officially a week after Mariah’s album on September 1st.

As Time magazine stated, the conservatives, the bane of society, are on the endangered species list, which is the only occasion where I favor extinction. In any form, the republikkkans are now touting Obama a heathen of sorts because he likes some dijon in his burger. Watch the video to see how low the stoop is.
I 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?
There have been numerous speculations about an internal Pussycat Dolls fight for a while now. Ever since Nicole Scherzinger opted to leave the group prematurely only to see her solo career suffer blow after blow. Add that to mediocre album sales and a sophomore slump that even a deluxe addition can’t rescue.
Now, Melody Thornton, the one with the voice and a whole lotta presence, has made it loud and clear that Nicole has overstepped her bounds. Watch the video at 0:28 secs when Melody says “Thank you for supporting me even though I am not featured.” Right in front of spotlight-hogging Nicole and the red headed doll agrees. Pheonix didn’t know that was coming.
All this talk of the African pirates is leaving me baffled, really. Why now? Why old-school piracy? I mean, surely the some of the world’s most sophisticated armies can take care of a couple of skirmishes of the coast of the horn of Africa. I have a hard time believing that couple of incidences like that would be such a hurdle in the “fight against terrorism.” Why is the media creating such a buzz about this?
When will Bill O’Rielly just crawl under a rock and leave all of us alone. I like seeing him grilled everytime he is on David Letterman’s show, but it seems like David decided to go a little lenient on him. What does he mean “give Bush a break?” Break from what? The massacres he caused, the economic crisis he started or the complete disregard of human rights and civil liberties. The conservatives, be it in the US or anywhere else, need to hibrenate and let the people through.
