1So glad to hear that Ellie Goulding is a fellow Ani DiFranco fan. Did she say “was?”

Nadine Coyle just celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with her beau in her Irish pub in Los Angeles names Irish Mist. But, she’s still hard at work on her debut album and, not only is she working with Boyz II Men, but she is also working with the guy who spearheaded Madonna and All Saints’ careers – William Orbit. Orbit just tweeted that his dinner with Nadine Coyle was not just a gathering but a business meeting. We can’t wait to hear the result and hope it is a complete new sound, because Nadine’s debut album is such a great vehicle for him to reclaim his status as a pioneer producer.
The Next Mariah Carey…
She is working it hard trying to do the live versions of the song with the live licks. As a fellow lamb (and an Arab as it seems) I applaud! I think he could have been a great novelty so-bad-he’s-fun kind of act. Kind of like William Hung.

Prince Harry uses anti-Arab racial slur…
First it was his costume party outfit of the Nazi war general and now this. Also, I remember an incident in Afghanistan when he wore a cap that had a American flag on it that read “We do bad things to bad people,” which I thought was horrid. I mean, this is not just the folly of youth. This one is demented thug that obviously thinks that he is superior to every other race and culture. The royal family are going to have to do a lot of damaged control if they want to maintain what little legitimacy they have to the rest of the world. This is just not acceptable. Especially from the third in line for the world’s greatest colonial power.
