Kylie Minogue teams up with Jake Shears and Calvin Harris in the studio

JakeCalvinKylie-490x367

Yes, that is the one and only true queen of pop Kylie Minogue in the studio with Calvin Harris and Scissor Sisters front gay Jake Shears. They are doing some sort of collaboration that is bound to tantalize and eroticize. Last time Shears and Kylie did something together they released the greatest song never released (I am still crying there is no studio version for “White Diamonds”).  And the last time Calvin Harris worked with Kyles was on X, where he produced the worst song on the album (“Heart Beat Rock”) and the best song on the album (“In My Arms”). I can’t wait to see what they have been up to.

Amy Winehouse is done with Blake and ready to take over again. She has recently made a public appearance with The Specials at the V Festival. She sang an old song of theirs from 1979 titled “You’re Wondering Now.” She looked sober and didn’t trip at all or hit a fan. We can’t wait for the new material from Winehouse and her father.

The peacock chair has been invented

Some fresh designer by the name of Dror Benshetrit has decided to ditch conventional materials and start using felt as a replacement to cotton or whatever your sofa has in it. The result is this – the peacock chair. A chair invented to comfort and to dazzle. And if you get it early, it could be a conversational piece, too. It molds and shifts to fit your contours while still looking like the modern masterpiece that it is.

Mariah Carey delays Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel

Imperfect

The news is in and it seems that Mariah Carey is delaying her album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel to September 15th. This is sad news to all the lambs in the world. Not only will the Mariah album be delayed 3 weeks but it will also miss the Grammy cut-off date. Furthermore, that week she will be up against Jay-Z, Kid Cudi and Madonna’s Celebration, which, in reality, is not hard to beat. Jay-Z might be tough. Mariah is apparently still in the studio trying to finish off the album as she twitters about it, but, something tells me that the recent dip of “Obsessed” on the charts from #11 to #20 is the reason. She might want to release two singles in time for the album in order to build up the hype for it. At any rate, “It’s Like That” did really poorly on the charts but The Emancipation Of Mimi still managed to be the best selling album of 2005.

Mýa returns…

Back from under the studio rock, Mýa returns. On first listen, the song is not so bad. It’s definitely better than her previous singles from Moodring or Liberation. The new album’s out the same day as Britney’s. It’s called Sugar & Spice. Notice the fierce metal cage dress in the video.
