¡viva la graham!

that’s what avril lavigne should have called her new album. instead it’s called the best damn thing… about what, i’m not sure.

anyway, here’s her hideous new video, “girlfriend.” first of all, the lyrics make “sk8tr boi” sound like beautiful poetry and the chorus sounds like low-rent toni basil (“mickey”) with a dash of fergie. yes, even hilary duff is laughing.

in the clip, avril plays the role of two different girls after the same guy, a la mariah carey’s “heartbreaker.” she has been trying to be an actress now for a while, so i guess this video wasn’t meant to show potential directors her formidable skills. unfortunately, the girl’s got none!

at least she didn’t cast her husband as the hot guy. then it would have been completely unbelievable.

in the march issue of sister 2 sister magazine, flavor of love 2 winner deelishis said that she’s planning to launch a singing career. apparently def jam records expressed interest in hearing some demos from the curvaceous reality star, so lately she has been hard at work in the studio with busta rhymes.

ok, even if she can sing, she’s kidding herself if she thinks busta is interested in anything but tappin’ that. give me a break.

also, i really could not care less about deelishis. i only wrote this as an excuse to post this ass-tastic photo (click it for a bigger version). i swear, that booty has special powers. nbc should sign her up to be one of the new heroes for may sweeps. ratings gold!

here’s the latest promotional photo of the bravery, a new wave nyc rock band who released a rather good record a few years back. i was disheartened by reports in which lead singer sam endicott said their new material might abandon synthesizers altogether, but this new picture really puts me in a panic.

first the make-up goes, then the rock and roll! i fear this could lead them down the tedious path of brandon flowers; do the bravery really want to end up boring like their former rivals?? check out the bravery’s official site to preview a few new tracks. there’s definitely nothing brilliant like “an honest mistake” to be found. stay tuned.

here’s the band in happier times:

by the way, i apologize for the use of “bloody” in the context above. i realize that i am not british, but i consider this slang to be therapeutic when i am upset.
