‘Tallica sells out to iTunes

Metallica fans everywhere can now rejoice as the band who hates music thieves put their first four albums on iTunes, with bonus live tracks. Before, you had to buy each album as a whole in its digital format on places like MSN Music, but now, roll around in your choice of any of the band’s early songs.

If that’s not enough for ya, the band is also scheduled to appear on “The Simpsons” on September 10th on Fox.

What? A former boy-band member is gay? Preposterous!

Fiddlesticks. Does this look like the face of a gay man to you?

Clearly Lance Bass is just looking to steal the spotlight from JT’s new single, or possibly horn in on some of the media attention those two former 98 Degrees singers are getting. Between Drew Lachey’s winning the title of King Star Dancer and brother Nick’s public nursing of his she-devil-inflicted wounds, Lance is probably just feeling a little left out of the Boy Band Alumni limelight.

Gay, shmay. Next they’ll be telling us that Tom Cruise is gay, or something equally ridiculous…

Because too much Simon Cowell is never enough…

…his prolific production company is now bringing us “Celebrity Duets,” featuring the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Smokey Robinson, and Macy Gray…but also Kenny Loggins, Dionne Warwick, and confirmed ass clown Michael Bolton. Each singer will be paired with a celebrity NOT known for his or her singing ability, and the matchups will change each week.

The show will begin airing on Fox the evening of August 29…make plans to either record or avoid it accordingly.

Trollin’ for sex in the parks George Michael style


“I’m never gonna dance again!”

Oh, that George Michael. His poor long term partner Kenny Goss must have felt completely at a loss when Michael was caught grooving with a jobless 58 year old van driver.

Said the man,

“OK, I admit I was there for sex. But I’m astonished a man as famous as George should even think about doing it. It’s potentially so dangerous.”

And then George replied,

“Are you gay? No? Then fuck off! This is my culture!”

Then he claimed: “I’m not doing anything illegal. The police don’t even come up here any more.

“I’m a free man, I can do whatever I want. I’m not harming anyone.”

Indeed, George, you just got this poor van driver some much needed attention.

For the longest time

The Streets are set to unveil a 20-minute video for an upcoming tune. Apparently this will set a new record. But if I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure David Bowie’s full-length clip for “Blue Jean” is even longer than that. Unless, of course, it’s not considered a “video,” but rather a “short film.” I’ll have to go watch the thing again and see, or just take the lazy man’s way out and look it up online…

Yep, I was right…according to the song’s Wikipedia entry,

Following the huge commercial success of Bowie’s previous album, Let’s Dance, its singles and the Serious Moonlight Tour, “Blue Jean” was launched with massive promotion. Julien Temple was engaged to direct a 21-minute short film to promote the song, Jazzin’ for Blue Jean. The song performance segment from this was also used as a more conventional music video.

21 minutes, people! The Streets will not be setting the new record. All bow to King Bowie.
