Well, it’s good to see that some things never change. Like the lyrics to age-old songs like “It’s My Party.” Because if they did, like it kind of sounds like they did in the above video? I’d be one confused Amy Winehouse fan. Not that, you know, I’m not as it were, but this version of this song just screams ‘I’m fuckin’ waaaaaaasted and I’m too laaaaaaazy to write my own gee-dee songs anymore, so I’ll just rip someone else’s and drink heavily and no one will knooooooooo-aw the difference!’

So, yup. That about sums it up.

“That makes no sense because someone always runs for President … [Sarah] wouldn’t go through with a campaign even if she was nominated.”

Levi Johnston in response to Sarah Palin’s latest rumored-Presidential-run comment along the lines that she’d – yup – run if there was no one else to do it.

Johnston also spoke directly to TMZ and claimed that his ex-girlfriend’s baby mama wasn’t qualified to be President of the United States, even if she was nominated, or worse, elected.

Honestly. Some people will go to great lengths to stay relevant even for another minute. And by ‘some people,’ I mean both Levi Johnston and Sarah Palin.

You hear stories about big-time singers getting paid ridiculous amounts of money to perform at private parties all the time, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone getting paid like Christina Aguilera did this weekend.

Charles Brandes, an investment guru AKA super-crazy rich dude, hired X-Tina to come down to his San Diego mansion and perform an hour-long set for the guests at his over-the-top annual Halloween party. It’s rumored that she walked away with a cool milli for her work that night. That has to be some sort of record.

Beyonce pulled in $2 million for a private show she did last New Year’s but she had to perform for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s son, and they’re like… really unpopular people. Seriously unpopular people who have said and done some really gross things. It was 2 million dollars of dirty money, if you ask me.

Whatever. Let’s not harp. It’s Tuesday. Let’s keep it chill.

If you had a million dollars to blow on the performer of your choice, who would you have play a private show for you?

Mariah Carey is for sure preggo and she’s talking about it openly and everything. Yesterday she was on Ellen’s show getting grilled about her impending motherhood when Ellen asked if she could guess the sex of the baby. Are you ready for what Mariah said to her, Lambs? You’ll die. Ready? When Ellen asked if she could guess the baby’s sex, this is what Mariah said, “I would prefer not. Because imagine if you’re a baby inside someone’s body. Do you really want someone imposing their sex ideas on you? Not really? I’m just saying. Would you want them to be like it’s definitely a girl … would you?”

Well no, Mariah Carey, I would guess that very famous lesbian Ellen DeGeneres wouldn’t want someone imposing their sex ideas on her.

Annnnyyyyway… The interview was pretty funny. Mariah also said she won’t be pushing pink on her baby, regardless of their sex, “I’m not going to impose pink on a girl. Do you think I’m really going to go that hard with it? That’s how you get the exact opposite.”

So, we’ve learned a few things. 1) Mariah doesn’t want you talking about her baby’s gender while her baby can hear you inside of her, 2) Mariah believes that nurture is stronger than nature and, 3) Apparently “impose” was on her Word of the Day calendar recently.

A photo of Cher

When I was little, Sonny and Cher would be on TV when I was getting ready for school.  I’d be putting on my sweet stirrup pants and avoiding my brother and sister smoking a joint to get through the bus ride to high school while being transfixed with this woman. Cher and I go way back.  How lovely it is for me, and indeed, for all mankind, that Cher has been a powerhouse of fierceness from the mid 1960′s until today.  Now let’s look at some excerpts from her Vanity Fair interview.

On the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s inability to recognize: “Sonny and I still aren’t in the [Rock and Roll] Hall of Fame, and it just seems kind of rude. Sonny was a good writer, and we started something that no one else was doing. We were weird hippies before there was a name for it, when the Beatles were wearing sweet little haircuts and round-collared suits…. We influenced a generation, and it’s like: What more do you want?”

On Chaz: “If I woke up tomorrow in a guy’s body, I would just kick and scream and cry and fucking rob a bank, because I cannot see myself as anything but who I am—a girl. I would not take it as well as Chaz has. I couldn’t imagine it. She’s a very smart girl—boy! This is where I get into trouble. My pronouns are fucked. I still don’t remember to call her ‘him.’”

On her work ethic: “I feel like a bumper car. If I hit a wall, I’m backing up and going in another direction. And I’ve hit plenty of fucking walls in my career. But I’m not stopping. I think maybe that’s my best quality: I just don’t stop.”

On Sarah Palin: “I got so obsessed with [C-SPAN] that it was kind of interfering with my life. Sarah Palin came on, and I thought, Oh, fuck, this is the end. Because a dumb woman is a dumb woman.”

On aging: “I think Meryl [Streep] is doing it great. The stupid bitch is doing it better than all of us! But I don’t like it. It’s getting in my way. I have a job to do, and it’s making my job harder.”

I love this woman.  Anyone who can sing a song as catchy as “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves” and call Meryl Streep a stupid bitch (jokingly, of course) gets a solid approval rating in my book.

This is terrible news.

This week Lily Allen suffered her second miscarriage while six months along in her pregnancy. The retired singer also had a miscarriage in January 20o8.

From PopEater:

Allen was rushed to a hospital on Thursday morning with pains in her stomach, but efforts to save the child failed. She announced in August that she and boyfriend Sam Cooper were expecting.

The statement from her rep: “It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby. The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment will be made.”

Any time someone loses a baby it’s a tragedy, but Lily has really refocused her life after she suffered that first miscarriage. Quitting music and trying to open up a vintage shop was all a part of her greater plan to slip into obscurity and become a mother, and so I can only imagine how lost she’s feeling right now.

Thankfully there are so many options for a wealthy couple with fertility issues and Lily will still be able to make her dream of becoming a mom come true.
