Remember Clay Aiken of the American Idol fame? If you don’t, you are hardly to blame cos he didn’t win (came only runner’s up) and isn’t as famous as his counterparts, Kelly and Carrie. But, from the cheesy tabloids point of view, his story takes the cake. At least I think it does.
It is as bizarre as if you had read Angelina Jolie rejecting diet pills! Incidentally, I was in fact reading about Angie’s new twins that I came across the strange story. Why? Well, firstly, they are not a couple. Call me old fashion but how on earth do you even raise a child together when you are not…well, together? Am I the only one missing something here???
It’s all very odd for me. I know there are couples who have separated and are raising their child together but this is totally different. They were not a couple in the first place as opposed to couples who have been or are separated. If you’re not married and have a child, I can still accept that cos at least, you’re a couple. Get my drift? Don’t we have to be at some point a couple before the baby thing works out? I honestly can’t imagine raising a kid with my ‘dear friend’. If I don’t have the hots for him, no way am I gonna be carrying his baby. Just doesn’t work. Not to me at least.

Oh, so have you heard?? THE news??!!
Angie has given birth. And she was no, not in some fashionable place like Kenya or some fancy swhmancy place that even I can’t pronounce (or spell), a private lodging in the Aran Islands, County Clare. The brood were in France, one of the most romantic places on earth or so that’s what it is on paper.
That’s not all the bizarre factor about the couple. They have famously named their newborns, Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon. Wow!! Luckily they didn’t name one of them, Ireland cos otherwise, she/he might just be the butt of jokes among school friends. “Private rentals in Ireland?“. That would’ve been cruel.
So, now that they are a family of 8 (2 adults and 6 kids), I wonder what whether they would stop? And I wonder, how they do it? I mean, for instance, if they wanted to go mountain hiking in County Galway, how on earth would they do it? Especially with the myriad of staffs in tow. The entire mountain might have to be cordoned off just to fit the entourage.
Well, whatever it is, I am pretty sure that they will sort things out in no time. After all, they aren’t called “Brangelina” for nothing right…

The television is usually my second past time. Whenever I have the chance to relax and unwind, the tv is my best friend. So, yesterday afternoon, as usual I was on the tube, channel surfing as usual, I finally settled for Britney Spears. I know its kind of stale news but it’s always interesting to witness the harsh realities of life - that no one is perfect.
I am sure during her heydays, every girl wanted to be just like her or trade lives with her. She was so immaculately perfect in every way. Beautiful, great voice, all the men, all the cash…just about everything. Not even a pimple in sight. People would purposely get the top mp3 players so they could listen to her music. Girls would dress up like her. Boys would have pre-mature ejaculation just listening to her voice. She is that hot!
But you know, at the end of the day, its all on the surface. She wasn’t allowed to be unhappy. She was probably even coached to smile irregardless of her emotions on any given day. To look happy even when she was having pms. To go on stage even though her pet dog is sick. Day in and day out, she had to portray that perfect picture or perfect-ness. The kind of happiness you’d see on someone’s face when getting a sony mp3 player as a birthday gift from their loved ones.
Still, humans are mortal creatures. They will eventually succumb to the harsh realities of life. No amount of money or fame could save you from the evil that lurks. You will fall towards the dark side. And for Britney, the dark side was her ex-husband, Mr. “leech” and “loser” and “good for nothing” Federline. I mean, she fell hook, line and sinker for that bozo. Bought him plenty of material gifts to enhance his already bloated ego. And that well probably also included an apple ipod. That jerk!
You know, she may never be the same again. I mean, your body will never be the same after 2 pregnancies. That is the ultimate fact. But she’s young, she got rid of Mr. K-should’ve-amputated-his-weenie Fed. She needs to be strong for her kids and re-build her life. Most importantly, she needs to have that self-belief and self-confidence back. I, for one, would hope she does bounce back and prove everyone wrong. Even if its just for the heck of it!

Think Rain Man and Ocean’s Eleven.
The latest heist in town – 21 Movie.
“Ben Campbell is a brilliant student at MIT who dreams of Harvard Medical. However, to qualify for the coveted Harvard scholarship, his essay must ‘dazzle’! Pretty daunting eh? Well, until he meets his professor who has ‘part-time’ work with his students. Every weekend, Mickey Rosa, Ben’s professor, takes a couple of his students to Las Vegas where they count cards to win money and splits the win thereafter.
Seeing as how he needed a whopping $300 grand, he agreed and joined in the ‘fun’. Things however, took an ugly turn when the team loses a huge amount of money in one night which saw to the parting of Mickey and Ben. Worst..with Ben now leading the team. Mickey, obviously feeling dejected and seeking revenge, reports them to the casino security.”
Wanna find out more? You have to catch 21 Movie. Its no fun for me to spill the entire bottle of beans. I had already spilled right about half. I always hate it when people reveal the ending of a movie I intend to watch and I’ll be darned if I am gonna do it now to you guys. Nope, ain’t happening here mister! Its worth a watch really, if you are into casino flicks.
Incidentally, if you are crazy over Jim Sturgess’ accent (did you know he is English?) or Kate Bosworth and I must say a movie targeted to young viewers, you can simply get your 21 Movie Ringtones from Playphone.com.

I am usually pretty lax about lots of things, but if there is one thing that I am spot on is spotting a GREAT.
Take for instance, I am a fan of Mariah Carey ever since she burst on the music scene with Vision of Love. At first I thought she was Whitney on radio but there’s a distinct difference in the voice. I listened a little longer to hear the DJ announce the name of the singer and that was how I knew. I was “wow-ed” and immediately put my mark on her being the next recording super star.
And a super star she was. She broke records and very smartly got married to one of the biggest recording label mogul. Granted, that marriage didn’t last, fell ill and she was even dropped by Virgin Records signifying the slump of her music career.
I am not going to talk at great lengths about Mariah because well, her story is pretty much well known by now and I will only be regurgitating what’s out there anyway. I will, instead tell you why I chose her or picked her as my “Great” even though I may not always agree with her music style or buy all her albums.
First of all, she writes her own songs. Whether single-handedly or a collaborative effort. I liked the fact that she’s involved musically and not merely sing songs that are written for her. To me, thats’ talent. Secondly, she received a lot of personal flak about her personal life and people also associated that down-hill slide with her professional life as well. But she was unfazed and had the emotional resiliance to silence all critiques when she bounced back with “Emancipation of Mimi” (which was, by the way, very aptly titled). The most important of all, I feel, is that while all of these were going on, she was never reported to do drugs or anything of that sort. She pretty much led a clean image throughout. Sexy does not count as bad, that’s just clever marketing.
I’m not saying that she’s the epitome of an ultimate role model for women but to me, I relate to her..her songs and accept the road she has taken (music wise). So, thats pretty much my reasons, what’s yours?
Incidentally, our Mimi has released a new album E=MC² which is also produced by the legendary LA Reid…I am already excited! Get it all..the exclusive interview and album preview with Soundcheck!
