The singer, who’s originally from Haiti, has been heavily involved in providing relief for the earthquake victims ever since it happened. Now it looks like he’s going to take that aid up a level by running for president! Sure, he might have had one or two semi-shady events that occurred with his charity for Haiti, but it’s cool, I’m sure he’d do a much better job running the whole country.
Nothing has been set in stone yet – Wyclef told CNN that right now, he’s still just considering it. He’s already filled out the paperwork though, and his foundation released this statement that serves to beat around the bush some more:
“Wyclef’s commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward. At this time, Wyclef Jean has not announced his intent to run for Haitian president. If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.”
This should turn out wonderfully. The election is in November, so we should be hearing relatively soon about Wyclef’s decision. I’m going to go ahead and make a list of “Gone Till November” jokes, just in case.
If it’s a day ending in “y,” you can bet your sweet ass that there’s (another) Mel Gibson tape floating around the interwebs, just waiting for a rapt audience to hoot and holler at his misogynistic and racially-motivated antics.
RadarOnline has the latest audio, which you can listen to here, but in case you’re at work, or have small children in the vicinity, I’ve taken the liberty of transcribing the audio to text (OK, I lied, it was merely an exercise of the magic of CTRL+C and CTRL+V) so you can read his rant, rather than have to subject yourself to the gruffness of Mel’s psychoticisms. (Yes, that’s a word because I just happened to invent it. Now.)
Angelina Jolie and her brood of four (and the papers say that Brad was home “babysitting” the twins while she was off globetrotting with her other kids; how is it that he gets to “babysit” his own children — silly, silly) were photographed arriving at an airport in Japan to prepare for her Japanese release of Salt, looking every bit the shiny, happy family.
Jolie is one fine example of a human being — and as a side note, I watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith last night, and I have to say that she’s even more beautiful now, as a mom, than she was prior to hooking up with Brad and adopting (and birthing) several children.
One of my best friends growing up was super-infatuated with Jon Bon Jovi. She had posters on her walls, hair similar to the Aqua Net fros that Bon Jovi and his bandmates rocked, and multiple leather wristbands branded with “I Love Jon.” She saw him in concert about forty-eight times, cried every single time, and recapped her adventures for months after seeing him. While I wasn’t nearly as, oh, exuberant as she was about The King, I did like some of his songs. These Days was, by far, his best album (in my opinion), but if I ever have to hear “Wanted Dead or Alive” ever again in my life, I might have to kill myself.
On the whole, Bon Jovi’s cool, he’s still pretty awesome today, and he clearly wasn’t as squeaky-clean as some pegged him to be. TMZ dug up some old photos of the rockstar in his heyday, shoots with naked girls and blow. Both kinds.
This one’s for you, friend of mine who loves Bon Jovi, and I hope it doesn’t mar your sainted image of Jon Bon Jovi himself.

“It’s the way I live, I grew up looking at rock stars. It’s in my blood. I think aggression scares people. But if you’re scared, you’re feeling something. Yeah, there’s loud guitars and drums. The reaction, it’s really kind of sad … [I'm] trying to reinvent and bring back rock ‘n roll.”
Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard are doing a tour together, and I’m not an American Idol fan, so I really don’t care about that. But they had their first concert on Friday, and if this video is any kind of guide to how the show is, then I might have to start caring.
The medley includes songs like “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan, “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus, “The Right Stuff” by New Kids on the Block, “The End of the Road” by Boyz II Men, “I Swear” by All-4-One, and “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys, all with goofy dance moves and pauses so that the performers could catch their breath.
I think I like it so much because all of those elements together just toss me right back to my 5th grade Valentine’s Day dance that I had to sneak into because I had lice and I wasn’t allowed on school grounds. And that might have been a dark time in my life, but that was a damn good dance.
Well i think Taylor is a slut wearing those type of clothing and i wont be surpised if she goes out and she gets raped, why the hell is she wearing those clothing? thinking she looks cool, hot?? fuck no she looks like a hooker wanting...
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...
