Laura Bush thinks people care about what she has to say, writes a book

Seriously, if they hired a graphic designer and asked someone to make the book cover to look as republikkkan as ever they couldn’t have done a better job than this. I am the font, the cheesy title, the presidential pose and the glimmer of minority hate  is just too much. What does she have to say? Maybe explaining her best stand-by-your-man poses? We can understand the fascination behind Sarah Palin since she came out of nowhere and became all regal. But, this? Why?

Some details on Britney’s 7th (Yes, 7th and Christina Aguilera is still on her 4th) are out and she is working with K. Briscoe of The Outsyderz again. The same person responsible for her #1 hit “Womanizer.” She is also allegedly working with DJ David Guetta and some producers she worked with on her Blackout album. The album is supposed to drop sometime in June and it should have a more urban feel. What do you think?

Google Buzz is here!

“Google Buzz is a social integration and messaging tool by Google, designed to integrate into the company’s web-based email program, Gmail. Shared links and messages show up in the user’s inbox. Buzz focuses on integrating photos, videos, and links as part of the ‘conversations’ aspects of Gmail like conversation threading.

Buzz allows users to choose to share publicly with the world or privately to a small group of friends each time they post. Picasa, Flickr, Google Reader, YouTube, Blogger, and Twitter are currently integrated. The creation of Buzz was seen by industry analysts as an attempt by Google to compete with social networking websites like Facebook and microblogging services like Twitter. Buzz also includes several interface and interaction elements from other Google products (e.g. Google Reader) such as the ability to like a post.” – Wiki

No Joke: Sandi Thom to release greatest hits collection

thebestofsandithom

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.

Paris Hilton to do show in Dubai

She talked briefly about it on The Ellen Show, but it turns out that it’s true. She is actually doing a BFF show in Dubai. She did the US twice and the UK once. But, she hasn’t gotten enough U’s, so she is doing the UAE. The show will follow the same format, but a little bit more discreet. The elaboration on that is not made available, but I am guessing she won’t be veiled. No word yet, on what or where the contestants are going to be / from. But, it is going to be an interesting bunch of episodes. For the full article go here. Next up, Uruguay.

 Evidence that  Barack Obama is cool as a green t-shirt on St. Patrick’s day keeps pouring in. The latest tidbit is that a gift , that was apparently an iPod, was given to none other than Queen Elizabeth II on his recent trip to Buckingham Palace. And Michelle Obama is doubley as cool for not curtseying.

Last time he visited London Obama gave Sarah “hide her” Brown a set of DVD’s that were not from the same region. So, she couldn’t view them in the UK unless she has a regionless DVD player. And, being in the UK, the rules are the rules. But she could probably get them for 19.99 pounds on an HMV sale in Oxford Street.

Earth Hour goes by like any hour

1

fishtrees5jpgNo year was as prominent as this year when it comes to Earth Hour. We did the usual and shut the lights of in unity with the environment, even though I am ever so skeptical about the whole thing. I feel like its more symbolism than anything pertinent to the issue of global warming. I mean, if a couple of tree huggers shut the lights off (which is a miniscule part of the whole house’s energy) nothing will really happen. There are other methods to energy conservation, like taxing energy higher and uses the taxes for the betterment of the environment, but, of course, talking like this will raise the socialism flag and that doesn’t sit well with the suits. In any case, I look forward to the statistics this Earth Hour will bring forth.
