Taylor Swift hosted Saturday Night Live last night and opened the show by doing a little ditty about some things we were all hoping for her to comment on, namely Kanye West crashing her VMA speech, her terrible break up with Joe Jonas and her relationship with Taylor Lautner.
Taylor more or less confirmed that she’s dating Lautner, went pretty easy on Kanye and really slapped Joe Jonas across the face. Despite her obvious nerves, she got through the song and was a hit with the live audience. I’m sure her fans watching at home went crazy.
“I have very specific ideas about how I want to do my work and how I want to be perceived and when…and to the point of ridiculousness sometimes. I don’t listen to anyone else, that’s why I don’t have a publicist at all, I can’t stand it when someone is telling me how to do something. It’s maybe a mistake sometimes. I like being, meticulous and its difficult as an actor to have that control.”

During a recent show, Miley changed the lyrics to “7 Things” from “You’re vain, your games” to “You’re vain, you’re gay”. Yikes. The audience noticed, and you can hear one girl in the clip above whisper to her friend “You’re gay?!”
Considering the song is said to be about her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas, it’s hard to know if this was a slip of the tongue or a direct slap in the face to her ex who she still seems to have private battles with. The two claim to be friends, but I think it’s been established that there’s still some drama going on there behind the scenes.
This isn’t so great for the Disney princess’ less than wholesome image. Earlier this year she was called out for making fun of Asians and was railed by the press for her inappropriate dance moves at the Teen Choice Awards. The fact that she’d take a chance on throwing out the “you’re gay” thing is completely another sign that Miley is far from being the role model she claims to be and that if we’re lucky, we’re going to see a lot more ridiculous behavior out of this one over the years to come.
I go back and forth between hating Lady Gaga and not being able to deny her catchy songs, but generally I think her over the top, dramatic costumes and stage shows are getting both played out and boring to watch. Being “different” can only be done so many times before it starts to be “the same”, right?
That’s how I feel about this clip from her new video “Bad Romance”. The costumes are over the top, the single sounds synthetic and poppy. Basically, it’s exactly what we’ve already seen all over again. Fans of Gaga might find that this is exactly the type of video they are hoping to get from their favorite artist, but for those of us out there who could still use some conversion, she’s not exactly selling anything new.
I don’t think we’ll see anything like this from her any time soon, but I would love it if Lady G took her (supposedly) great voice and did something mellow and simple with both her song and her video a la Sinead O’Connor and the “Nothing Compares to You” video. If she could still make a splash while cutting back on all the flair, that would be something to talk about.
The trailer for Lil Wayne’s official documentary was released yesterday and ooooooooh boy is it good. When asked what he thinks about his death, Wayne says (whilst sucking on a lolipop) “Awww, no. I don’t even think about that, that’s stupid.”
Jokes aside, Wayne’s label Young Money has been blowing up for the past couple of years, not just producing Wayne himself, but the likes of Drake and Nicki Minaj as well. There’s no question that Wayne has an ear for what will pick up and become huge and it’s safe to say that that makes him somewhat of a genius. Despite what your dad or your grandma may think of him, Wayne’s one of the really huge breakout artists of the 2000s and his contribution to music is one that will definitely continue to have an effect on the industry. For him to allow such exclusive access to his life at such an early stage in his career is practically unheard of, and this documentary should provide a lot of insight in to the life of a mega-successful rap mogul on top of his game.
Katy Perry and Russell Brand posed for a very public snuggle sesh on the steps of Russell’s flat today in London. The two, who have only been dating for a few months, seem to be heating up rather quickly. Last night at the EMA’s (the European version of the VMA’s) where Katy was serving as host, she surprised her man by dedicating one of her 12 costume changes to him. Katy wore a red and light blue corset and short-shorts combo (you know, those things she’s always wearing) to represent Russell’s favorite football team West Ham. She even had his nickname “Rusty” stitched on to her butt and the team’s emblem situated on top of her nipples. Uh, save it for the bedroom?
She. Is. Marvelous. Seriously marvelous. And super gorgeous. I am not generally a fan of short hair, on guys or girls (late ’90s men’s fashion was a nightmare for me, and I was only in middle school), but she looks so...
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
