Let the Lady Gaga comparisons begin! Yes, this is the highly anticipated video of the new Christina Aguilera single “Not Myself Tonight” from her fourth album Bionic. She is trying to pull out the fierce in this and she is doing it well. Random lesbianism is always welcome, but it looks like a modern “Dirrty.” Nothing new there. The crystal-encrusted mouth-ball is the shiz and we are loving the BDSM theme. Everything is right in the video except the product placement of her perfume. Too bad the song is utter crap.

Listen to Christina Aguilera’s new single “Not Myself Tonight”
It’s a dance floor stomper to kick off every Christina Aguilera album. We Got “Genie In A Bottle” for the debut, “Dirrty” for Stripped, “Ain’t No Other Man” for Back To Basics, “Keeps Gettin’ Better” for the greatest hits collection and now “Not Myself Tonight” will lead the way for Bionic. We heard Linda Perry boasting about how Xtina has “toned it down” with her vocals for this album and we don’t like that news as melisma is lovely! But, let’s hope for the best!
Video Premiere: “Telephone” by Lady GaGa featuring Beyonce
The video is finally here earlier than was expected after the postponing. There’s a 10 minute version apparently floating around somewhere (update: found it!), but this is what will usually get played on TV stations. We expected a little more to tell you the truth. That prison dance sequence got a little too long and Beyonce is did a good job. The last line is probably a take on the movie Thelma & Louise. It needed a little more absurdity and electronic flinches. Still, there’s nothing like it out there. Does GaGa’s face look super-imposed on a dancers body in the bikini routine or is it just foundation contrast?
Lady GaGa gets naked for Q magazine cover, spread

We are drowning in GaGamania this morning, but the news keeps popping in and this one is special. Lady GaGa will grace the cover of our favorite magazine (albeit sometimes sexist) Q. It is accompanied by a raunchy spread and probably a really naughty interview. Q’s known for letting stars dish the dirt!

Timaya discusses good hair
Documentary: Chris Rock’s “Good Hair”
3This is one documentary that we are bracing to watch. “Good Hair” is a film that challenges the notion of the racial implications of what hair should look like. This has gone on for years on end during and after slavery. It’s a residue of racism that has managed to cling-on while skin color precepts have been at the forefront of racial tensions. Hair is a human feature that has not gotten the same treatment as skin color in a racial context. Now, it not only serves as a benchmark for how far we have gone, but also an indicator of how much more we have to work on to dispel racial myths.
Natalie Merchant to return soon
Seems like all the greats are gearing up for the imminent return of Lilith Fair. Not only are there rumors that Sarah McLachlan is hard at work trying to release her next album, but Natalie Merchant, one of our all time favorites, have officially announced that she is working full-time on her next studio album 8 years after her previous offering Motherland.
It’s here: Jay Leno’s last show
1It’s been quite the 18 years for Jay Leno. Coming out as a stand-up who did gigs for nuns and then becoming on of the most highly respected people in the world of media. It’s his last show tonight as the host. Next week Conan takes over. Although, i am I think O’Brian is hella cool, it’s just be different that he is no longer the it-man, so to speak. David Letterman’s lingering on. If I were Jay I would guest on the Letterman show for good old times sake. He’ll have another show, but I am not sure how different it will be. Jay Leno’s biography is one of the first books I ever read. I felt like I knew him. Lol. That’s a bit stalkerazzi isnt it. Anyway, it’s the time of change and here comes change.
