She’s too old for this. She looks like she’s going to break a hip. It’s…reductive. Those are just a few of the comments I’ve seen in response to Madonna’s current media blitz. Chances are, you’ve seen at least a little of it at this point, possibly during a little program called the Super Bowl. All… Read More Stop Worrying and Complaining about Madonna
“When I realized that my selfish decision for love could result in some young girl getting killed, I could not be easy with that part. I couldn’t be held responsible for telling them ‘Go back.’ Even if Chris never hit me again, who’s to say that their boyfriend won’t? Who’s to say that they won’t… Read More Why Rihanna’s Public Reconciliation with Chris Brown is a Problem
Last year’s hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway were totally panned. This year’s Academy Awards saw its first host, Eddie Murphy, quit amid the gay-slur controversy surrounding his pal Brett Ratner and now we’re stuck with Billy Crystal (just hoping this doesn’t mean a 2012 release of City Slickers 3 . . . in 3-D).

What a difference a year makes. A year ago, Jennifer Lopez was dealing with a number of career setbacks. The lead single from her upcoming album, “Louboutins,” was an undeniable flop (literally – she even fell on her well-known derriere during an American Music Awards performance of the song), which led her long-time record label,… Read More Review: ‘Love?’ by Jennifer Lopez
More than a decade into the career of Britney Spears, any expectations for artistic growth should be thrown aside. It’s clear that, unlike her pop diva predecessors Madonna and Janet Jackson, any attempts at lyrical profundity are ignored. With that in mind, Femme Fatale, the seventh studio album from Spears, should be viewed in the… Read More Review: ‘Femme Fatale’ by Britney Spears
Many college students have at one point had the roommate from hell, but it’s a safe bet that said roommate was not quite as disturbed as the title character from the upcoming film The Roommate. Rebecca, the aforementioned character played by Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, is a college freshman whose friendship with her… Read More Leighton Meester loses her mind in ‘The Roommate’
If you’re a fan of country, folk, or indie music, and you haven’t heard of The Civil Wars yet, take note.
