BritBrit Performs on XFactor!

luckily me and my fellow gossip whore friends were able to find a live stream of this so we were able to watch it in real time!



she had 2 other performances this weekend, one on the Bambi Awards in Germany, and another on Star Academy in France. XFactor is taped in England. this one was the best of the three. many fans, including myself feel like she really needs time to get her confidence back, and thats exactly whats happening. she breaks out of her shell here!

anyways, watch and judge for yourself. Read more!

Tales of a "Slumdog Millionaire"

this morning on ONTD, someone posted a new song by M.I.A that is featured in the beginning scenes of the Indian independent film "Slumdog Millionaire". with a look at the trailer, it seems like the movie is pretty good! direction looks good, nice music (minus the overplayed Ting Ting's "Great DJ"), and the plot seems rivoting. ill have to find some way to see this. M.I.A's involvement certainly secures its credibility for me.

after you watch the trailer above, listen to the song "O...Saya"


M.I.A also talks about the first artist under her new label:
The soundtrack to "Slumdog Millionaire" will mark the first release on M.I.A.'s Interscope label, N.E.E.T. In 2009, M.I.A. said, the label will release her first signing, Baltimore's teenage rapper Rye Rye, whose club rave-up, "Shake It to the Ground," comes off as a more Americanized M.I.A., but no less energetic or resilient.

Working with Rye Rye, said M.I.A., has inspired her to get back into the studio to work on her third record. She offered no timetable. "I’m just writing," said M.I.A., who is pregnant with her first child. "You have to be in the habit of writing as much as possible. I don’t have any sort of process. I have all the artwork done and everything, but I don’t have any thoughts as to how this album should sound. It’s weird. I just need to find where I am and what I’m thinking."

She excitedly speaks of Rye Rye as a sort of pet project, noting she does all of Rye Rye's "production, and I do all her styling. I dye her weave." The 17-year-old rapper has a more hard-core club sound than M.I.A.'s globe-trotting electronics, and it sounds like being a label
head has provided M.I.A. an opportunity to live vicariously. "Rye Rye's record was really clubby, and that’s where I started, and she fits that so well," M.I.A. said. "Her music has so much energy. I kind of exhaust with that her. So when I’m sitting down to write my own music, it’s coming from a different place. I want to be able to do things that I feel like are not getting said."


thanks to this person for find all of this!

More Circus Leaks!!!

lord christ, i cant even handle this!! three more tracks from Circus have leaked tonight! one of them is written by Lady Gaga and features her in the background vocals. EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC.

here is the gaga song Quicksand:


rock boy:


trouble:


about a similar track that was leaked on youtube the other day that was rumored to be gaga's "Quicksand", Gaga said “The rumored clip of Britney Spears’ Song, Quicksand, which I wrote that is being viewed online is totally not legit, and is farthest from the actual track. I’ve heard it many times, and if the song is put on the record, you’ll all see it then and only then. Until My work is 100% complete it is not to be posted all around the web and that goes against everything that I believe in as I do my job”

looks like its too late gaga! its leaked and i LOVE IT. you OWN. i promise u this version is the real thing, be careful when u search it on youtube, because there are like 7 fake versions.

Britmas 2008- Most of "Circus" has Leaked

ok guys, heres the deal. after i posted the song "Circus" yesterday, about 90% of the album leaked. and let me tell you, it is EPIC. she has a good mix of tones and styles, and theres only one or two songs that i would consider skipping when listening to the album in full.

im gonna post everything i could find on youtube below the cut, but be warned that the songs may be taken down. if you do a little search, im sure you can find the downloads. make sure you still BUY the album when it comes out.

also, justjared has revealed that brit will be at the tree lighting ceremony in NYC's Rockefeller Center, details of her appearance are still being worked out however. no word on a live performance.

"Hobbit" Update

a few months ago, i posted about James McAvoy possibly being cast as Bilbo Baggins in a new Guillermo del Torro directed "Hobbit". that was complete crap and im sorry i led you on. anyway, new information was released from del Torro himself on details pertaining to the pre-production of the film. ill sum up the important parts here for people who are averse to reading articles, but you can go to comingsoon for the full thing.

* the casting wont be done until the writing for the script is completely done, because sometimes things are contradicted week to week, and alienating a fan base due to constant changes.

*lots of radio controlled suits for the creatures

*alot of attention will be given to one of the main creatures Smaug, a dragon.

Douches on SNL

speaking of live variety shows, the latest vid to be making the rounds today is one of Justin Timberlake, Paul Rudd (<3) , and Beyonce on SNL. i watched the video, in part because i am a sucker for punishment, which really is what a JT or Beyonce video is. but, it was actually pretty funny! usually you can smell her ego from a hundred miles away, but she seemed pretty normal- good acting! of course JT had to make it all about him. anyways, i got some laughs and paul rudd is absolutely adorable, so im posting it! enjoy.

MadTV is Cancelled :(

Although i havent watched in years, MadTV was always my favorite lazy saturday night guilty pleasure. i would have very heated arguements with people, including my parents about how it was WAY better than SNL. looking back, this probably wasnt true, but i have a unique sense of humor, and prefer low brow. perhaps the reason i stopped watching was because of my favorite actors that left- Aries Spears, Stephanie Weir, Nicole Sullivan, Michael McDonald, and Debra Wilson.

To celebrate the death of such a large part of my adolescence, i am going to post some of my fave moments from the show (that i could find on youtube anyway). Heres one, and the rest are below the cut.

Britney Spears- "Circus" Leaks

first, id like to say that im sorry for not posting for song long, if i have any readers left that is. this semester is taking its toll, and i am trying to get that Lady Gaga fan community up and running. also theres some general laziness factors.

MOVING ON. slowly but surely Britney Spears' upcoming album "Circus" is leaking. for those who are britney fans, this is EPIC. ill be posting any songs that become available in full. in advance, i apologize if any youtube vids are taken down.

the one i have right now is for the song "Circus". the vid is low quality, but the song is GREAT. this album is going to be awesome. hopefully my gaga addiction will be cured by then. ]



if any more become available, this post will be edited and vids will be placed below the cut.

New Musical (Eventual) Obsession

right now, im still stuck on Gaga, but you can thank her for my latest fascination with electro-pop. while on a search for album reviews, i stumbled upon a picture of little boots, and decided to check her out.

check out her myspace for a couple songs or go to her youtube channel. shes not currently on itunes and i have no idea if she has a cd out. shes based in london, so if u live there maybe shes on that version of itunes? also shes on radio 1 live lounge tomorrow.

this is so low brow.

in case you thought bureaucracy didnt exist in the entertainment industry, well...youre an idiot. now, however you feel about gay relationships being on tv, there are some things that just aren't right.

for those who have watched greys for the past season, you know they have taken a new direction with two female characters. that direction led straight to weirdville last week, but regardless, television is a creative outlet, and a show should show something that feels realistic, although in theory you are watching something fake.

the actress who plays character erica hahn has been fired from greys anatomy. for no other reason than what show creator shonda rhimes has written for her character.

although the plotline is not something that everyone is going to be comfortable with, it seriously is not something you need to fire someone over. end the plot arc! television has been breaking down barriers and changing cultural mores for decades.

low, abc, very low. this show is on its way out. it used to be groundbreaking.

i just have something to say

peaches geldof, some whore from london, had alot of audacity when she published a column for NYLON magazine. recently, she moved to NYC- Williamsburg, Brooklyn to be exact.

now, im nothing but jersey trash, BUT even i was insulted by what this girl wrote. im going to save you some of the aggravation by only posting a small excerpt.

It’s a city where there is always something exciting to do. Girls here look like they just stepped off the catwalk: the Upper East Side society queens are dressed to the nines in McQueen and Prada, and the East Village hipsters look like extras from The Virgin Suicides or Desperately Seeking Susan.
My best friend here is a boy named Bunny. We spend our days traipsing around Manhattan—him in skin-tight plaid trousers, huge geek glasses, and a mass of red hair sticking out haphazardly from beneath an Amish-style hat. We buy pizza from street vendors, run through Times Square marvelling at its energy, and source new vintage boutiques. Nights involve dancing at Beatrice Inn or Lit, watching the Misshapes spin some tunes, or catching one of the amazing bands Brooklyn has to offer.

New York is a place where I finally feel at home. Driving over the Brooklyn Bridge at night in a yellow cab (the novelty still hasn’t worn off!) and gazing out over the tops of the skyscrapers-their peaks reaching ever upward, lights twinkling out of the endless windows like fireflies, their glow reflected in the water of the Hudson River—there’s no place I’d rather be.
--PEACHES GELDOF

-first of all, your friend bunny is an idiot. hes obviously not a native new yorker, because NO ONE would put up with this cliche poser crap.
-everyone knows to steer clear of times square. its filled with idiots, tourists, and aggravated people who work there and are forced to be there.
- you might feel at home in nyc, but no one wants you there. jersey either.
- i wont even address your need to condescend far enough that ur taking a cab. no ones fucking impressed. get on a fucking nyc bus- that novelty wears off REAL quick.
-the brooklyn bridge connects brooklyn with manhattan. VIA THE EAST FUCKING RIVER. the hudson river is on the opposite side of the damn island. seriously. i live in new jersey. and i know this.

with such blatant disregard to the simple facts, how is it that this girl has not been mugged? please! i volunteer! if i see this bitch when i go see the duke spirit in november im going to give her a nice NJ welcome. THE MIDDLE FINGER.

ps. this is for all my friends in ny.

pps. oh and u spelled pittsburgh wrong. and its offending. i have family there. no one spells LONDON wrong now do they???

New Musical Obsession

ive known about Lady Gaga for a while, mostly because of JO. but it takes me a while to become a full blown aficionado on an artist, but once it starts, its quick and complete. ill know everything there is to know about the artist, where they are from, how they got their start, what their past material is, etc. Lady Gaga is no different. the turning point was seeing the Poker Face video. i hate music videos because alot of the time they have nothing to do with the song and the direction sucks, etc. but this video is sooooo different! it seems to go along with the song, the imagery and direction are great, and the song also, naturally, is awesome.

of course, there exists no official video on youtube, and even if there was, the embed would be disabled, so instead ill have to link you. i promise you. this video is worth a watch.

alright nevermind. i dont get why these record companies take artists videos off youtube! its like free advertising and publicity for them! o well. it was on her website as of last night, i physically watched it on there like 3 times and now its gone. maybe they strong armed her into taking it off? wtf! heres what im going to do. im adding lady gaga's blog (yes she updates her own blog) to my blogroll and its likely if the video is added back it will show up.

make sure you check out her "Transmission Gaga-Vision" video diaries. they kind of take you along with her on her on going press tour. i think she adds a new one every week?

ps. her album drops the 28th...and there's a performance and signing on the 27th at the Virgin store in NYC if ne one is in the area

Just In Time for Halloween

Check out this teaser trailer for the new Friday the 13th remake. Its supposed to have a 2009 release, and a full trailer will be released with Saw V when it comes out. From this clip, you cant really tell much about the movie, its too short.

you know what? im not opposed to remakes like this. i mean, look at what Rob Zombie did with the Halloween remake a couple years ago. granted, hes an amazing director, but Marcus Nispel did do a great job with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake in 2003. To this day, that remake remains one of my favorite horror films. I consider myself a horror movie buff, my favorite time of year being Monster Fest on AMC and i have seen all of the Jason movies (Jason Takes Manhattan being my fave). anyways enjoy the clip!

Spleenectomy!

the most talented actress ever, anna faris, stared in a cute little digital short called "Spleenectomy", which was directed by Kristen Smith. anyways, more importantly, i have the link here so you can go see it. its really funny, and she has this cute little son in it. she did the whole thing for this "Glamour Reel Moments" thing, and i dont have any idea what its about, but im glad i got to see the short since i knew about it from imdb.

the pic is her at the event.

also, there are RUMORS that she is lined up to play britney spears(?????why????) in a film adaptation of lynne spear's book. if u ask me this is complete bullshit. anna doesnt play serious roles, but she takes her career seriously and i dont think she would ever take a role that was sooo completely wrong for her. i dont know how credible this source is (showbiz spy), but i think this is a rediculous rumor.

NEW DUFFY!

alright heres the deal. duffy, recognizing her success, is doing the smart thing and re-releasing her Rockferry album in a two disc deluxe edition. no doubt itunes will make you buy the entire thing in order to get all of the extras and b-sides, they are just annoying like that.

only the brits and some crafty americans have heard the b-sides before so this is exciting news for a huge fan like me (i refuse to illegally download music, which is why i havent gotten the b-sides). shes also releasing a new single, which is called "Rain on Your Parade". I embeded the music vid here for you guys to have a listen, but ill give you a quick rundown:

1. its more uptempo than most of her stuff, quite similar to the way mercy is.
2. she takes it a little far with her vibratto, furthering the theory that she is not, in any way, commercial. only a select few can put up with it, heck i barely can and im constantly championing her.
3. her attempts at any dancing in the video are pathetic, and further endear her to me.
4. i am not sure if this is a completely new song, or if it was a b-side on the brit album.
5. this is exactly what she sounds like live, which is either a good or bad thing depending on how you see it.


if there are any brits out there reading this, help a sister out! im too tired to research but id love a list of the extra songs so i can tell all of the yankees over here what to expect.

Tim Burton elaborates on Alice

a while ago i had posted about johnny depp staring in tim burton's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. naturally, burton being attached kind of certifies that there is going to be a given level of weirdness, but luckily, Alice is the kind of story where we expect MORE than a given level of weirdness.

once i learned that the movie would be filmed in that sort of weird, headache inducing half animation/half live action bullshit they did the Beowulf film in, i was a little worried. more than a little actually. as a die hard fan of weird, thought inducing movies i was excited to finally see a live action version of this weird, thought inducing story. so you can probably picture my disappointment of burton's reluctance to do a full scale live action.

this quote from him actually gives me a lot more perspective on his vision for the film:
“It’s a funny project. The story is obviously a classic with iconic images and ideas and thoughts. But with all the movie versions, well, I’ve just never seen one that really had any impact to me. It’s always just a series of weird events. Every character is strange and she’s just kind of wandering through all of the encounters as just a sort of observer. The goal is to try to make it an engaging movie where you get some of the psychology and kind of bring a freshness but also keep the classic nature of ‘Alice.’ And, you know, getting to do it in 3-D fits the material quite well. So I’m excited about making it a new version but also have the elements that people expect when they think of the material.”

im gonna follow this movie from pre-production through its release so expect alot of coverage.

this is one BAD idea.

apparently, director george miller thought it would be a good idea to once again cash in on one of Homer's classics- The Odyssey. naturally, Brad Pitt is in talks to star. here is where his idea goes a wry, because i for one, am not necessarily opposed to seeing pitt in a loin cloth, sweaty, and tan. 

the new version of Odysseus's journey will take place in space people. really? your that unimaginative that you must resort to these gimmicks? how THE FUCK are they going to pull that off?

didnt this guy see Jason X? you know where they took a perfectly acceptable serial killer/monster who was content killing people on earth and brought him on some spaceship. it was a terrible idea. 

youre going to be alienating all sorts of people here. (1) the people who saw Pitt in Troy are going to be very confused when they see that Achilles, who died in said film, is once again alive, but playing a character of a different name. (2) the people who are obsessed with all things space, ie Battlestar Gallactica, Star Trex, and Star Wars will be all "WTF this is blasphemy", and (3) all the people who appreciate the original epic poem and the art of Greek/Roman mythology are going to be like "WTF this is blasphemy". 

just dont go there george miller. and why is it that the only people coming up with original screenplays these days are indie writers/directors? everythings a fucking book adaptation or a remake. from now on im sticking to the Sundance Channel and ifc.

Site Update #1

i took away the little sources section of my site and instead am linking you to all my favorite artists myspace music pages. i want to help them in anyway get more exposure. there will be some big names on here along with some you will only know (likely) if your from europe (the UK specifically). also, i have some special notes on some of the artists:

1. Chromeo is re-releasing their "Fancy Footwork" album with new remixes of songs that were on the original album. their myspace features one of the remixes which is actually pretty good.

2. On Duffy's page, she has the audio from the Radio1 Live Lounge interview, which for Americans we were not previously able to hear.

3. Keane's album "Perfect Symmetry" came out today. i bought it on itunes and it (the deluxe version-$12.99) comes with some videos which i havent watched yet, and a bunch of demo versions of songs on the album. from what i can tell so far, i like the new sound. i see them taking a little bit of influence from the shins maybe? but they are still keane (aka pretty vocals and lots of piano). usually it takes me a couple weeks to really pick apart an album.

Quick! Listen to This

the musical legend that is Bjork teamed up with another musical legend (in fact more like a god)- Tom Yorke to produce a "rallying call" of sorts to help Iceland claim back its natural resources from big business. i dont know much about iceland, but i am sure its a beautiful country and i support their cause! anyways, im gonna link you to the stream if u want to hear it, but be forewarned its going to be taken down in the near future. thats because 100% of the proceeds from the song's purchase go to an Icelandic organization "Naturra" (the song shares the same name).

Anyways, the song is very good, very Bjork but also you can tell theirs Yorke's Radiohead spin on it. Only those innately familiar with OK Computer and beyond will pick up on it though.

ps. i cant think of Bjork without thinking of this song:

she broke retirement last night to perform at some event for Diesel Jeans. According to this fan, her show was awesome.

Bigga Than Ben

although its possibly one of the gayest titles ive ever seen for any movie, it looks like one id like to see. first of all, i love russian accents. they are sort of my weakness. i could sit and listen to a russian person speak english all day. it doesnt even matter what they are talking about. second, i love movies that focus on dirty, illegal, underground activities. you know, bank fraud, heroine addiction, larceny...

take a look at the trailer. its an indie getting a limited release i think only overseas, so i guess ull have to wait a while if ur from America. maybe itll make it to tribeca this spring. go to the website for more info.



good to see him break out of his Narnia role.

for a long time now. i love icarly. like i love that show. to death. but everytime i see a picture of miranda cosgrove something just seems a little off about it. i can never put my finger on it. BUT TONIGHT I HAVE FOUND IT! thanks to help from the lovely community at ONTD. anyways...here is the separated by birth:

anyways (lolololollololol) watch this video of tina chen (thats whos in the second picture if u dont look at perezhilton.com) because it is HIGHlarious.

The Audacity

I seldom step down to this kind of level (see any post about vanessa hudgens), but this situation calls for it. i worked 12 hours today and i come home to ready my daily entertainment news, and THIS is what i see.

Katy Perry, a second, make that third rate pop "singer", made famous by 13 year olds who feel the need to blast her songs during their sleepovers (the thought makes me lol because the parents are probly like "WTF") felt the need to bash LC and others from the hills. heres the run down:

Katy Perry is not a fan of Lauren Conrad or her fellow Hills stars.
Blender Magazine (via PageSix) asked the I Kissed A Girl singer if she related to Conrad and Heidi Montag, to which she replied “hellz to the fu*k no.”
She added “there’s no comparison. No offense, but those ladies are a totally different breed. A cheeseburger’s fine if you’re just looking for something quick to fill you up, but there’s no substitute for the filet.”

really Katy Perry? REALLY. your going to go there? well ok. listen, i guess you could say i am biased towards LC, but this bitch even makes me want to defend HEIDI. what is she implying here? that she is in someway classier or of better quality than LC? im confused but i know that someone with a face like this: (utterly terrifying)


should not be comparing themselves to someone who looks like this: (not Angelina Jolie but still..)


here are the facts katy, (1) in america, people like cheeseburgers better than filets (2) in america, we are in a recession, so more people eat cheeseburgers because they are more affordable. (3) if you are refering to LC and the hills not being real, maybe you should look in the mirror, because the reason you are famous is for a song about being bisexual, which you arent.
(4) if ur implying you have more class, then saying "hellz to the fuck no" is not a good supporting argument.

shes sucks and i hate her. utterly the worst thing on the music scene today. id say shes just as bad or worse than hayden panetierre.
