Kelly says “No.” Simon gets haughty!

Kelly Clarkson wants people to give a damn about her. Seems reasonable, considering she’s the only entertaining winner of “American Idol” thusfar. The news is that Clarkson has strict control over her tunes, and therefore new “Idol” contestants can’t sing them. Hey, if I had a good thing goin’ and already started distancing myself from that nightmare, I’d do the same thing. Of course, Simon Cowell isn’t happy about it, saying “I don’t like this, when they walk away from the show and kind of forget.” Well after From Justin to Kelly, who wouldn’t want to more than “kind of forget”? Speaking of which, I really need to score a cheap copy of that movie for future self-punishment.

Ricky likes to pee-pee

There are always great ways to make the public remember you when your star has faded. Seem that Ricky Martin is angered by the public backlash over a recent interview. In that Q&A, Martin said he enjoys “giving the golden shower,” especially in the shower. Personally, I can’t fathom why people would complain about this discovery when all his fans let him shit all over them with his lousy music. Hell, they even paid for him to do that, time and again. Let’s stop being fickle, public!

I understand the McDonald’s in Bahrain is hiring…

Since he apparently can’t get work in the States (though he can, at least, get arrested, ho, ho), Michael Jackson is reportedly looking to score a gig as a consultant with a Bahrain-based company that plans to set up theme parks and music academies in the Middle East.

(The article can be found here.)

Oh, yeah, and he claims that the single he’s been recording for the Katrina victims for, like, MONTHS – which is entitled “I Have This Dream” and features guest appearances from Keisha Cole, Ciara, Snoop Dogg, Babyface and R. Kelly – is gonna be released on a Bahranian label…eventually.

Maybe MJ should take a cue from the folks over at the War Child organization, who can get charity albums recorded and released in in a week’s time.

Confess! You really hate music

According to some dudes over in Britain, the new generation of folks enjoying music via mp3 files do not appreciate it. That is to say, all of us digging our tunes on our portables are not worthy of the art form. And now, the British dudes for a quote:

In the 19th century, music was seen as a highly valued treasure with fundamental and near-mystical powers of human communication”

“In short, our relationship to music in everyday life may well be complex and sophisticated, but it is not necessarily characterised by deep emotional investment.”

Oh come on, now. If I could have married – or at least had great sex with – my phenomenal music collection, I would have. How much more of a “deep emotional investment” do you want from me?

I thought she was left for dead

Here we go again. It looks like Eminem is constantly confused seeing how he and ex-wife Kim are ready to tie the knot again. Between this and Em calling his early retirement not an early retirement, one wonders what could be next on his horizon? I know, how about making his mother his new manager? I guess once you win an Oscar, there’s nothing left to do. I hope he makes a Christian rock album and makes those pals of his in D4 change their wicked ways.
