Britney’s “Womanizer” leaks

September 26th, 2008, 12:38 pm by Crystal Olvera

Oh my Gaaaah! Britney’s first single off her new album “Circus,” scheduled to be released December 2, just leaked. FINALLY. After spending last Friday night listening to a German radio station who reportedly was going to debut the new single and DID NOT, this is kind of a treat! (Yes, I am insane and have no life.) But it’s also completely anti-climactic and underwhelming. I mean….this song is kind of meh. It starts off pretty promising but the chorus is kind of …. blah. I know, I can’t think of any real words to describe it. It sounds exactly like “Ooh Ooh Baby” off of her previous album “Blackout.” The choppy chorus, which is “Boy don’t try to front I I know just just what you are are are,” makes her sound like she has a stuttering problem. And she says the word “womanizer” a total of 587387 times. Isn’t the the first single supposed to be the best song on the album? If this is all you’ve got Britney, then I’m worried. Check out the song for yourself here.

Claymates grieve over Aiken’s coming out

September 24th, 2008, 2:33 pm by Crystal Olvera

So by now, I’m sure everyone knows Clay Aiken has officially come out as a gay man — something he vehemently denied being in a 2004 Rolling Stone interview. To the world, it came as no surprise. The singer had us all wondering when he’d finally break open those closet doors. Not a big deal right? Not a big deal to the rest of us. But his fans on the other hand, are devastated. Yes, I’m serious. DEVASTATED. You don’t believe me? Radar has provided us with a few of the reactions from the ClayNation fan forums. His fans didn’t know people! THEY HAD NO IDEA!!! Oh the humanity!

Just a taste Claycnfan at The Clayboard says:

I’ve cried a river of tears and truthfully do not know where I stand right now. I am envious of those who can take this news and continue to state their unconditional love and support for Clay.

It’s gut-wrenching people!!!

Travis Barker and DJ AM in plane crash

September 20th, 2008, 12:46 pm by Crystal Olvera

I’m just going to post the AP story since I’ve got a ton to do right now.

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and a popular disc jockey were critically injured in a Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane went off a runway and crashed on a nearby road, she said.

Hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia.

Two other passengers and two crew members died, said the National Transportation Safety Board. Their identities were not immediately available.

Barker and Goldstein, who perform together under the name TRVSDJ-AM, played a free concert in Columbia’s college neighborhood Friday night.

“It’s absolutely terrible and tragic,” Columbia Mayor Bob Coble said.

A representative for Barker and DJ AM said she had no information the crash.

After Blink 182, Barker went on to form the rock band (+44) - pronounced “plus forty-four.” He starred in the MTV reality series “Meet the Barkers” with former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, to whom he was married at the time. The show documented the former couple’s lavish wedding and life.

Goldstein at one time was engaged to celebrity Nicole Richie.

Anyone else remember that earlier this year a Myspace bulletin had been passed around saying that Travis Barker had died? I honestly didn’t know whether to believe it or not.

Things I would do with Elvis’s $300K peacock jumpsuit

August 7th, 2008, 1:35 pm by Crystal Olvera

elvis.JPG

Elvis Presley’s peacock jumpsuit was auctioned off for $300,000 today making it the most expensive piece of Elvis memorabilia ever auctioned. The person who won the suit went unknown but I’d put my money on Lisa Marie Presley. The baby momma is going to need some maternity wear soon so why not blanket the twins with something grandpa used to love. Am I right people? Nevertheless, I couldn’t help imagining owning one of these. What the hell does someone do with a peacock jumpsuit? Well my friends, I’ve put a lot of thought into it and I’ve come up with my own list of peacock jumpsuit ideas.

1) Wear it to the zoo. Our local Gladys Porter Zoo has peacocks running around all over the place. If anyone would appreciate this design, it would be them.

2) Get married in it. Women everywhere have said the most expensive item in their wardrobe is their wedding dress. Why not use a peacock jumpsuit?! It totally ties in a great teal peacock theme.

3) Birdwatching. This thing would bring in the motherload for sure. But you might want to wear a transparent poncho. Birds get jealous and they might want to unload on your glittery feathers.

4) Wear it to work. If there’s one thing I know about going to work in regular clothes, it’s that you have to go home and change into “going out” clothes when people invite you for drinks afterwards. You wear this to work, problem solved!

Jay-Z vs. Noel Gallagher: ROUND 153

August 7th, 2008, 12:23 pm by Crystal Olvera

Oh how I love a proper rock star feud. If you haven’t heard, Noel Gallagher criticized Jay-Z’s headline slot at Glastonbury. The Oasis guitarist said he was not happy that a rapper was headling a rock festival. Jay-Z retorted with a cover of Wonderwall. He continued the feud last night at Madison Square Garden where he started off a song with:

That bloke from Oasis said I couldn’t play guitar/Somebody should have told him I’m a fuckin’ rock star. Today is gonna be the day that I’m gonna throw it back to you.

Ain’t that genius? then he added a line of from Oasis’ biggest hit “Wonderwall.” Gallagher, who graces the cover of NME this week has since addressed the feud as well. Noel says:

I wasn’t saying I was better than Jay-Z as a person or rock was greater than hip-hop. I said what I said, and it was wrong, or it was taken wrong, and now all this [media furore].

He’s also said he’d like to “have a beer” with Jay-Z. Oh how I’d love to be a fly on the wall when that happens. Anywho, here’s a video of the incident.

Joss Stone will make an appearance on Showtime’s The Tudors.mariah.jpg

Sia will work with Christina Aguilera. And hopefully, awesomeness will become of this.

Mariah Carey looks like a 15-year-old at the Teen Choice Awards. She’s 39.

Madonna, if you plan on taking Katy Perry under your wing and kissing her on stage, I might stop being a fan. I’m serious! Don’t do it! She’s not worth it!

And speaking of Madonna, here’s a peek at what you can expect from her “Sticky and Sweet” tour.

50 Cent has begun directing his own movie.

Glastonbury: Jay-Z does “Wonderwall”

June 28th, 2008, 6:11 pm by Crystal Olvera

So for those of you who haven’t heard, Oasis lead guitarist Noel Gallagher said having Jay-Z as a headliner at this year’s Glastonbury Festival was a mistake.
Noel says:

“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it … If you start to break it then people aren’t going to go. I’m sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance … Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go ‘Kylie Minogue?’ I don’t know about it. But I’m not having hip-hop at Glastonbury. It’s wrong.”

This spawned a feud (something Noel seems to do more than breathing) and people got all hot-and-bothered. So what does Jay-Z do, y’know, just for fun? He covers “Wonderwall.”

Amy Winehouse punches a fan
