Joseph McElderry - Simply Beautiful

He's gorgeous, he's 19, and he's gay!

I like it when young men like Joe come out.  I know it may have been difficult for him, but he worked the courage to announce it on his official website, thanking his family and fans for their support.

Singing an original song by Miley Cyrus, "The Climb," Joe McElderry became X-Factor's season six winner in the UK.   In 2010 he was approached by Twentieth Century Fox to record the specially written track, "There's A Place For Us", which features in the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  The song was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2011 for best original song in a motion picture.

So in honor of X-Factor making it's American debut in the Fall of this year, I have posted 4 videos of the very talented Joe McElderry.  The first one featuring his amazing rendition of Luther Vandross's "Dance With My Father", the second one featuring his X-Factor finale performance where he sang "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus, the third being his first music video, "Ambitions" and the fourth video being his current hit, "Someone Wake Me Up."

Will She Be Able To Pull It Off? Can She Be A Wonder?

Countless people have tried to emulate Lynda Carter, but to no avail, no one has been able to fill her shoes.  How can they?  Lynda Carter is absolutely beautiful and will forever be our 'true' Wonder Woman.  But as I mentioned last week, David E. Kelley is a superb writer and producer; he hasn't made a show yet that hasn't garnered many awards or created a show that I haven't liked.

Actress Adrianne Palicki has been picked to fill the shoes of our favorite heroine in the upcoming new NBC series Wonder Woman.   If you don't recognize her, it's because Palicki was on the TV series, "Friday Night Lights," where she played Tyra Collette, a blond Dillon High wild child who turned her life around and wound up going to college. The last two episodes of season five find her back in her hometown.

The new Wonder Woman series will be making it's debut in the Fall and people have already begun passing judgement on it.  And this is why... NBC has revealed that its new Wonder Woman series will add a third identity to the superhero’s life. According to TV Guide, the series will give Wonder Woman three separate identities. The first will be that of Wonder Woman herself, while the second will be Diana Prince, Wonder Woman’s civilian alter ego from the comic books. Meanwhile, the third identity will be that of Diana Themyscira, the CEO of Themyscira Industries. In addition, Wonder Woman will have a separate love interest for each identity: Henry Demeter, Diana Themyscira’s confidante, Ed Indelicato, a man with ties to the police and Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s boyfriend in the comics.


I'm a little concerned about the changes, but not by much.  I'm really curious to see how it will turn out and see if Adrianne can pull it off.  I for one, think she's really beautiful.  What do you think?

OMG Hilarious!

Now, that isn't right. LMAO.

A 30-Second PSA Sure To Have You Talking

"We Won't Go Back," the 30-second Public Service Announcement released just a few days ago has people in awe, and rightfully so.  The Republican Party is doing whatever it can to overturn Roe vs. Wade and take things back to how they used to be, when women had no voice and women had no choice.

You may have recognized the the lovely actress in the video and couldn't put your name on it; she's Lisa Edelstein.  She's been in a few movies; 'As Good As it Gets,' 'What Women Want,' & 'Daddy Day Care,' and many television shows, 'House MD,' 'Felicity', 'The Practice,' & 'The West Wing'.

Check out the video "We Won't Go Back," down below.

Lady Gaga Claims 1000th No. 1

So while all you bitches were being rude and cruel to our Lady Gaga, she was on her way to making history by grabbing the 1000th leading song on the Billboard's Hot 100 Chart; Breaking several other records along the way.

"It is a tremendous honor," Gaga tells Billboard of the milestone. "To be the 1000th no. 1 on Billboard...I would be silly not to say this is the greatest honor of my career."

"I am so humbled and so honored and overwhelmed by the reception to 'Born This Way,' " Gaga adds. "[It] has been so life changing for me as an artist, and between Billboard and the international number ones and the radio numbers...I couldn't be more blessed to have the fans that I have."

Courtesy of Billboard.com are the other records she broke over the weekend:

On Radio Songs, the Hot 100's airplay component chart, "Born This Way" begins at No. 6 with a first-week audience of 78.5 million. That's the highest bow and largest opening airplay figure for a song since the tally began incorporating all radio formats in December 1998.

The arrival of "Born This Way" bests the previous debut record on Radio Songs, set when Janet Jackson's "All for You" soared in at No. 9 with 70 million in 2001.

With opening-week digital sales of 448,000, "Born This Way" likewise breaks barriers with the largest debut sum for a female artist. Britney Spears established the prior mark four weeks ago upon, the arrival of "Hold It Against Me" (411,000).

The opening of "Born" marks the third-largest debut among all digital tracks. Flo Rida's "Right Round" started with 636,000 in February 2009 and the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" with 465,000 two months later.

Notably, "Born This Way" rewrites airplay and digital history after just five days of availability at radio and three days at online retailers.

The song is also just the 19th title to debut at No. 1 in the Hot 100's history.

All I can say is... stop hating.

When I was growing up in the 80's, Michael Jackson, Madonna & Cyndi Lauper, were all despised and hated back then.  In the 90's people hated Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera.  Hell, even the King of Rock n' Roll was hated back in the 50's when the Billboard's Hot 100 was created.

They all broke records, they all defied odds and they all ignored the Press.  Gaga deserves her time, just like any other artist.

A Gruesome Murder After A Young Man Goes Back To Being Straight

Guys named Michael or guys named Michael with a surname of Anderson, who should I distance myself from?  I'm going to say guys named Michael Anderson; I have a dear friend named Michael and I really don't want to single him out. And besides, he's hotter than these Anderson fools.

19 year old Michael Anderson of North Carolina took some cough medicine and then chopped up his roommate with an axe.   Early Monday morning, Anderson can be heard telling the 911 operator, "I took some pills and, um, the pills made me go mad and I murdered my roommate. shot him three times and then I used an axe and mutilated his body." As Anderson was taken away, he told reporters he loved "as a friend" his roommate. But during the call, Anderson says, "I was straight and I wanted to go bisexual just to experiment and I went to a gay club and I met him and I went to his house. And he took me in and I turned straight again and he wanted to touch me and stuff and I wouldn't let him and he kept trying and I waited until he went to sleep and then I shot him 3 times and then I mutilated him very badly."

Officials said the murder scene was horrific.  "Probably one of the worst scenes I have seen in my 30 years of law enforcement," Reid said.

"I TURNED STRAIGHT AGAIN!" What the hell is wrong with people these days?

"Oh lord, I don't know why I did this. … I can't believe I killed my roommate." he is very courteous to the 911 operator, saying yes ma'am, no ma'am, and then proceeds to tell her. "The axe is inside his stomach."

Too bad the idiot can't claim an insanity defense because presumably, according to his Facebook postings, he may have planned the murder.  Two recent postings show one declaring his intent, " My killing starts tonight" and the second one after the deed was done, "I finally cracked guys, I really did it this time."

The chilling 911 phone call is down below:

Jersey Shore: The Dollhouse Version

This is wrong on so many levels.  I don't watch the MTV series Jersey Shore, but with the constant rambling about it, how can anyone not know who I'm talking about.

The sad thing is... who and where are the parents who took this picture?  And have they been arrested?

OMG Hilarious!

Hold It Against Me - The Deaf Version

Okay... if this is the only way I can enjoy a Britney Spears track, then by all means continue to make them this way.  Oh stop, I'm just kidding.  I love Britney, just not as much as you die-hard fans.

Michael Chase Martino seems to think that deaf people need to enjoy the song just as anyone else.  So he took the liberty of making a video, even taking his shirt off in the process (not sure why).  Actually he doesn't look bad, he's quite hot.  He kinda reminds me of hot nerd, like in a Clark Kent / Peter Parker kinda way.

For all intent and purposes, I thought Michael did a great job, and if the reason behind it was to really help deaf people, then Kudos to you Mr. Martino.  Even if the shirt removal was quite random. :-)

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 3 - Garbage Pail Kids

Well...  I never did say that I was writing only about toys of the 80's...

My 3rd issue of 'Keeping It Old Skool' were gross and they were hugely popular.

Oh I so did love my GPK’s. I spent several consecutive summers wasting week’s worth of allowances snatching up as many of these cards as I could.

Back in the day, Toys R Us would hock massive clear fifty-packs of these gems and I was all over those like stink on shit. Appropriate axiom, dontcha think?

Check out more of these fabulous trading cards/stickers.

Andrew Garfield in Spiderman Promotional Pic

Despite all the hoopla over the reboot of Spiderman, this promo pic of Andrew Garfield in his Spidey costume is quite hot.  And besides, I never really liked Tobey Maguire as the web man.

OMG Hilarious!

Just when you thought you had your last laugh, the Cyanide and Happiness boys are here to give you another one.

And If The Queen Says It Shall Be, Then It Shall Be!

Gaga appeared on Jay Leno last night to make some clarifications.  And as I have mentioned before, musicians have always been compared to those before them.  Hell, even Madonna and Cyndi Lauper were compared to each other back in the 80's.  Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Whitney Houston, Vanessa Williams, the list goes on.  Live and let live people.

First, Gaga sets the record straight and tells Leno that the contraption she was carried in was not an egg, it's a “vessel.”  And I can see that, because she was wearing some alien-looking prosthetics at the Grammys and on Leno last night.

Second, for those who think that animosity lingers between Madge and The Lady, Gaga clarifies,  ”There is really no one that is a more adoring and loving Madonna fan than me,” and she makes it perfectly clear, “I am the hugest fan personally and professionally.”

And Finally, with her biggest statement to date, she continues with an astonishing adoration and shuts everybody up, “The good news is that I got an e-mail from her people and her,” Gaga says, “sending me their love and complete support on behalf of the single, and if the queen says it shall be, then it shall be.”

Here's a clip from last night's Jay Leno show.  I also recommend watching the first part & part 3 down below.

You Are Buying Your Music At Wal-Mart, That's The Reason Your Artist Didn't Win

So who felt like they were robbed of a storybook ending last night?  Gaga walked away with 3 Grammys, Eminemn 2, Bieber 0; and the world was devastated to learn that a band called "Arcade Fire," took their most coveted trophy of the night.

But according to Alternapop, you are listening to the radio way too much and buying your music at Wal-Mart, hence the reason you don't know the bands and musicians who have been nominated more times and selling out more concerts than the ones you love.

"The Twitter world was full of “Arcade Fire who?” and “Who is Arcade Fire? I’ve never heard of them” postings. Maybe these people should turn off the radio and start buying their music from places other than the bin at the end of the aisle at Walmart.

Arcade Fire has released three solid albums and the previous two were also nominated for Album of the Year. (2004′s Funeral and 2008′s Neon Bible) If you’ve never heard of them until now, it might be time you evaluate your music sources.

Arcade Fire is only co-headling one of the largest and successful music festivals this April, Coachella, in Southern California, that sold out in a record 6 days, with Kanye and Kings of Leon.

The Suburbs was released by Merge Records, the indie label based in Durham, North Carolina, that has been home to underground acts like Lou Barlow, The Clientele, Superchunk and Neutral Milk Hotel. In addition to performing, Arcade Fire was up for three Grammys this year."

I still feel robbed!  Just like when a Canadian won the "AMERICAN" Music Award's top prize. I don't know, I'm so tired of the academies that decide who should win what. And this goes for everything; from CMA's to AMA's, VMA's, Oscars, Golden Globes, etc., etc..  What do you think?
