My phone rings.

Me: Hey, what's up?
Ray: Hey, did you know that Justin Timberlake is only 5 feet tall?
Me: No, he is not!
Ray: I'm reading it right here! He is!
Me: No way! There's no way he's only 5 feet tall.
Ray: Oh, wait, nevermind, it's Christina Ricci.

I'm going to this Guerrilla Queer Bar thing tonight. The logo involves Cher, and the event is all about gay men taking over the world, so obviously it is my dream come true. In preparation, my co-worker sent me this list of the gayest songs of all time. And as a result, I found the videos for "It's Raining Men" and "Your Disco Needs You."

One of my new goals is to watch a bunch of movies that I should have seen--and everyone else has seen--but for some reason I never have. My history of cinema teacher in college made some odd choices in terms of what to show us (e.g., Showgirls and Starship Troopers), and there are some serious gaps in my movie knowledge. So, I rented The Godfather ( Read more... )

If you've listened to top-40 radio lately, you've probably heard "Wake Up Call" by Maroon 5. Like "Dark Lady," it's about crimes of passion. Cher kills the Dark Lady and her man ("may-ohhn") when she finds them in bed together. It's unclear if Adam Levine commits double murder or just offs the guy. He's described as "six-foot tall," and Adam says ( Read more... )

Chapters 13-17 of Trapped in the Closet are here! I am at work, but I can't resist. I am watching them now and biting my hand so no one hears me laughing. Wow.

The night I saw Jarvis Cocker, he had just performed on David Letterman. He complained about the set being freezing cold, but it didn't seem to have any lasting effects. Chronically melodramatic Morrissey, on the other hand, said that the temperature was "negative 30 degrees" and that it ruined his voice. About five songs into his set, he left the ( Read more... )

Thank you to Mike for sending me the link to this article about R. Kelly's new album.

I downloaded "Sex Planet." It makes "Dick in a Box" sound like a legitimate song. I really hope he's kidding.

"My rocket is so full of fuel..."

8 hours until the American Idol finale!

Ethan and I independently decided that Fergie was our most hated celebrity. And now, as if I didn't hate Fergie enough, she comes out with "Big Girls Don't Cry," which features the lyric "I'm gonna miss you like a child misses his blanket." I feel ill. That is horrendous beyond belief. She should be imprisoned. It's the kind of song that, if it ( Read more... )

I saw the video for Kelly Clarkson's new song yesterday, and it gave me chills. It is the "You Outta Know" for the year 2007.

Also, Jane magazine recommended "No More" by Jamelia to "download for your next breakup." Loves it.

Furthermore, BBC recently did a poll of the worst lyrics ever. There are some ( Read more... )
