An Open Letter to LaKisha


It must be hard coming from being the front-runner in the competition to being blasted weekly by the judges - somewhere along the way Randy, Paula and Simon turned their backs on you. Perhaps it has something to do with your song choices the past two weeks - stay away from songs sung by former contestants of the show. The judges do not approve. While I'm not familiar with Fantasia's version of the song you sung last night, which in my opinion you sang the shit out of, the judges blasted you on it. Perhaps you are being out diva-ed by Melinda and Jordis; or maybe the judges have become so focused on the two of them that you unfortunately have been pushed aside, a causality of the cruel fate of a singing competition.

If you go home tonight, it is not because you don't have talent in spades - it's because teenage girls have voted to keep a Justin Timberlake clone around cause they think he's cute. It has nothing to do with real vocal talent - you have it; he doesn't. As Randy would say, "Just keeping it real, dog!" Hopefully this note will all be for naught, and you'll be around another week. But if not, keep your head-up girl, you have made your daughter immensely proud.

Let the Fur Fly


So we are down to our final three Pussycat Dolls hopefuls (Melissa R., Chelsea and Asia) and I for one am excited to watch them claw, scratch and strut for the one open slot in the PCD. This show has been my guilt pleasure for weeks and all three women bring interesting strengths and talents to the show. My favorite part of this weeks episode was watching the other Melissa, who makes a great TV villain, loose the final slot to the girl she constantly put-down; way to handle yourself like a lady Chelsea.

And while I think Melissa R. will ultimately walk away the winner, the other two are equally deserving for different reasons. So work it out ladies, I expect nothing less then a fight to the finish.

Brothers?


Hugh Jackman in gay porn? A fantasy for millions of gay men everywhere. I'm not sure if others have noticed or not, but seems that porn god Joey Russo looks an awful lot like our sexy Hollywood brother. If you look above, it's almost impossible to tell the two apart. Trust me, this makes me very happy - just wondered why Raging Stallion has not capitalized on this by making a film entitled HUGE JACKMEN! Just a thought and idea. Discuss. And Chris Ward & Michael Brandon, feel free to use this title, as long as I get a copy of the film and a story idea credit.

Stroke of Genius



So, I almost didn't have anything to blog about today, until I came across this little gem from Alanis Morrisette. I thought her cover of Seal's Crazy was the shit. This tops that easily.

Brilliant. Me likey.
