MADONNA WANTS TO START A REVOLUTION. COME ON, YOU GUYS. WHY WON’T YOU LET HER?
Thank you, Madonna, for your empathy about what it’s like to live in a world where “economic markets are collapsing”, but I simply don’t buy the image of you behind bars, suffering along with the rest of us. How much money did you make last year? 150 million dollars? (text-only) (original post)
AVRIL LAVIGNE IS STILL TREMENDOUSLY ANNOYING (AND MAYBE FUN)
Let’s face it, Avril Lavigne’s job, more than anything else, has always been to simply go out there and do exactly what she’s told and, for the past decade, she’s evidently been told to be annoying.
JANELLE MONAE IS MORE INTERESTING THAN MISS BEYONCE.
HERE’S SOMETHING TO WAKE YOU UP. NOW.
The first time I heard of Janelle Monae was 2007 when a musician friend pointed her out to me via e-mail accompanied by the simple message “Miss Beyonce had better take note.” Now that we’re six years on, I think he was pretty spot on with that observation. (text-only) (original post)
Hey You! Drink too many Bud Light Limes and eat too much char-grilled crap while standing on a roof top watching the fireworks over the last few days? Well, have we got something to drag you out of that low rent hangover... (text-only) (original post)

JUSTIN BIEBER IS AWFUL, BUT HE LOOKS GREAT.
Because that’s what Justin Bieber would absolutely have done if he hadn’t got his way. He’d have killed the guy. Justin can do anything he wants, remember. He’s a god. (text-only) (original post)
GET LUCKY WITH SOME MALE MODELS.
So – models are interesting aren’t they? Just when you think it was impossible to expect anything more from them, they surprise. Look how they sing, unexpectedly! Isn’t the line “We’ve come too far to give up who we are” inspirational and poignant? They sure HAVE come too far, and there really does seem like there’s so much at risk of giving up as well.
