In A Pop Minute



Model Kate Moss will be releasing a Kosher Cook Book. I can imagine the recipes to be included:
Kosher Cocaine
Kosher Crack
Kosher Heroin
I think I will pass on this book. Ya know what they say, never trust the cooking of A Skinny bitch, if they aren't eating, the food can't be that good.

In more pop culture news:



"People are calling Lady Gaga the pop princess, [so] what's Heidi - the pop queen?" he added.
Asked to name five artists Montag is more talented than, Pratt said,"Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera."
"I wouldn't even compare them to Heidi's level," he went on. "I am in the
studio everyday with Heidi I know what's coming. I can make claims like
that."-Heidi Montag's Boy Friend Spencer Pratt On Atlanta's Q100 "The Bert Show" as reported by US Weekly.

The statement is so Friggin' Riddicolous I can't even stand it. Bigger than Beyonce? Christina? Brit? MADONNA?

If by talent you mean: being a bad friend, having an idiot for a boyfriend, being famous for no reason, being a whinny brat...then YES! Heidi has talent.

But Hey, who am I to judge? Judge for yourself! Check out Heidi's Videos on You tube: Higher and Overdosing.






Remember back in the day, Before Usher was on married lock-down and was getting his confessions off his chest? This coincided with Justin Timberlake's debut as a solo artist and the industry was all about Justin vs. Usher? Now that Usher has taken a cue from the ne-yo song and fade(d) into the background, it seems Justin is striving to be the new Ne-Yo.
Ever since Ne-Yo came out from behind the scene with "So sick" we haven't been able to escape him. He's singing hooks on Rap records, dueting with every r&b act ever. In the few songs on the radio he isn't crooning on, h holds a writing or production credit ("Irreplaceable" by Beyonce or "Take a Bow" by Rihianna). Seems Justin's taken a page from his book.
It's been over two years since Justin released his sophomore effort FutureSex/LoveSounds, but you can't turn on the radio without hearing his voice. Between his collaborations with Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, the Madonna dance hit 4 Minutes, and his appearances on 50 cent and T.I. homeboy seems to be everywhere. Not to mention that his collaborated with all the hottest R&B chicks of the Moment: Keri Hilson, (Headsprung Remix), Rihanna, Ciara, and Beyonce. Word is that he did some of the production on Ciara's upcoming album Fantasy Ride.
I'm living for his current joint with Ciara: Love and Sex And Magic. I heard this joint a lil' while back thanks to the blog http://www.toyas-world.net/, who has all the latest news on new music releases, and underground leaks.
Speaking of Ciara, I've been playing this leak track "I don't remember" like crazy. It's expected to be featured on her unreleased album. Check for it on Youtube.

Am I the only girl left who doesn't like John & Kate Plus 8? The kids are cute and all...but I don't find the show entertaining. When its on TV, and I find myself watching it, I start feeling like such a waste of life!

Sometimes, I reread my blog and become sad. Stumbling over typos, misspelled words, sentences that don't make sense, and entries that dragged on way to long,convince me that I will never earn money from writing. As I have wanted to be a reporter since I was a very little, this is a depressing thought.
When this thought takes over, I begin to think of all the wonder writers who exist(ed) and feel more discouraged. Then I remember that Paris Hilton, Fifty Cent, Ann Coulter and Candace Bushnell have all published books. These individuals have no business writing a post-it note, let alone a book. So if they get paid to "write" then damn, anyone has a chance!

"Doggie Bags" Isn't Literal!

Customer over the phone: Do you serve Ice Cream for dogs?
Cashier: No.
Customer: What kind of Ice Cream do dogs like?

Looks like Sarah Palin will have to speak out against the media once again.
The Palin name has once again been dragged through the mud once more. It seems, Palin's sister-in-law, has been arrested on charges of robbery. She is said to have broken into a man's home and tried to steal money (it was no longer located in the same hiding spot). Better Yet, she brought he four-year old daughter with her.

Her almost Son-In-Law appeared on the Tyra Banks show to discuss his sex life with the Palin daughter-CLASSY. In the interview, he predicted that Gov. Palin was aware that they were sleeping together saying "Mom's are pretty smart."

In Dec, Levi's mother was arrested on Drug charges.

If this were me, or you, or anyone else, people would have no problem attaching the label of white trash and thinking nothing of it. Such a label would be considered fitting and justified. Yet, when such words are used in reference to Palin, it is considered "Liberal's name calling..."
IMAGINE WHAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY IF THIS WERE HAPPENING IN OBAMA's FAMILY!

Though, I must admit, the media does live to give the family as much negative publicity as possible and over sensationalizes any story that could possibly be related back to Palin. They have already extended to in-laws-what's next, the family doctor? The vet?

Despite all her bitching, I think Palin likes the publicity...I feel like she has grown accustom to the public eye, and isn't ready to go back to obscurity yet.

Herb of The Week



Car and Drivers made a fool out of Ann Coulter this year (as if that's hard)!
According to Media Matters, The site posted a story declaring that President Obama had ordered Chrysler and GM to cease participation in NASCAR as it was an "unnecessary expenditure". The article was printed (according to the C&D,) with the intention of being an April
Fool's Day joke.

At least one person was fooled. Coulter, lashed out against Obama and his alleged order in her column, saying: If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an "unnecessary expenditure," isn't having public schools force students to follow Muslim rituals, recite Islamic prayers and plan "jihads" also an "unnecessary expenditure"? Are all those school condom purchases considered "necessary expenditures"?

When I read this paragraph, the first thing that came to mind was "What public schools force students to follow Islamic Prayers and plan Jihads?" I have never heard of such a school. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, so please, let me know about all schools forcing American Students into the Jihad (Comments on a Huntington Post Story on this topic asked the same question, perhaps we are both clueless, if said examples do exist please send them my way).

Leave it to Ann Coulter to turn any topic into an assault on Muslims....Which relates to the auto business how? Her Column further attacks her other favorite enemy's-"undocumented aliens" and how much of an unnecessary expenditure they cost America. ::Rolls eyes::: After reading the passage that MM posted from Coulter's column, I was surprised to see no mention of single mothers (according to Coulter they too, like Muslims and Immigrants are the cause of all the wrong in the world), perhaps I just missed it. I swear, this woman can turn any issue into a racist attack on Muslims and immigrants.

I didn't realize NASCAR had such a fan in Ann Coulter.

I can forgive her for being fooled, but her response was just foolish.

Media Matters also reported that Car and Driver later edited the article and reposted it as joke. It has since been removed.

As I am a bandwagon jumper, I decided that I too would take my best shot at blogging everyday in April. Now technically, it is April 2, however, as it is only 2:30 am, I will count this as my April 1st entry.

Lil' Wayne, the rapper known for his hits "Lollipop" "Mrs. Officer" and a multitude of hooks and verses on just about every song and remix in R&B and rap, will drop "rebirth" this June. Unlike his previous efforts, The Rebirth is Lil' Wayne's attempt to cross-over to rock.

Lil' Wayne discuses this transition with Rolling Stone, explaining that he has "grown tired of rapping." Excerpts from the interview were posted on MTV.com. In discussing his attempt at a rock record, Wayne admits that his "rock" won't appeal to all (or many) rock fans, and doesn't seem to be bothered that the album won't be as successful or as popular as past work. Such an admission is admirable coming from in artist of a genre which tends to be narcissistic.

After hearing Prom Queen, which leaked a few months back, I am honestly not expecting much from this album. However, I give Weezy serious props for stepping out of his comfort zone and trying something new. For making the music he wants to make, even if he is the ONLY one who wants to hear it.

While some haters have argued that Wayne's success will allow him to sell rock albums no matter how much they suck because of his past success. While this is may be true to an extent (undoubtedly many Lil' Wayne Die-hards will scoop the album up without even hearing it), he will definitely face negativity and criticism, often from critics who won't bother to even listen. Just look at Kanye-and all the hateration around his new sound on 808. But art is all about evolving...even if no one is ready for the evolution.

***I know this blog tends to be a bit too culture/mtv heavy,...I'm working on that!!!
