    better together


    2007 - 06.28

    spicegirls2007.jpg

    the spice girls have finally realized that their respective (mostly unsuccessful) solo careers will never spark as much interest as a collaborative effort. they held a press conference earlier today to announce their world tour this winter, and the appearance marked the first time all five were seen together since geri halliwell abruptly left the group in 1998.

    there’s no word yet whether or not the girls will be recording any new material, though really they’d be stupid not to. obviously their reunion involves a healthy payday or they wouldn’t have bothered, so why not cash in? a triumphant return to the top of the charts would really only sweeten the deal… and if they can come up with anything half as decent as “say you’ll be there,” i’m all about it.

    forgiveness


    2007 - 06.22

    sorry the posts have been sporadic the past few weeks. i’ll spare you the details. i should inform you now, though, that i’ll be on vacation the first 2 weeks of july (my first from this blog ever!), so posting will probably be completely suspended during that period.

    anyway, here’s some man candy to help you forgive me for being a slacker…

    markronson2.jpgyou might have heard of mark ronson. he’s the man behind the latest lily allen and amy winehouse albums, and even those who don’t dig those dames must admit he’s extremely talented. some might also say also extremely gorgeous.

    he’s got his own album out, one full of insane covers featuring several artists (like the aforementioned) he’s worked with before. he’s not a singer himself, more of a genius producer. check out his tunes on myspace.

    gossip whores might also know him as the brother of a decidedly less-dreamy dj samantha ronson, the poor girl who was stuck in the car with a passed-out lindsay lohan. small world!

    here’s an alternate version of holly valance’s “kiss kiss,” a random dance-pop song that was a big hit in australia and the u.k. in 2002. why am i posting it just now? well, let’s just say this re-working is absolutely fantastic, but at the same time completely juvenile. if we share a similar sense of humor, i promise you will be moved to tears.

    kathygriffin2.jpgkathy griffin’s wonderful reality show, my life on the d-list, recently returned for a third season on bravo. one of her goals this time around is to find a new man that can get her picture in the tabloids (she split with her hubby last year).

    the show’s web site has a poll asking which male celeb can get kathy “off the d-list,” and the winner might surprise you. as of now, american idol phenom sanjaya malakar leads by a landslide with 74 percent of the votes.

    kathy said on the show last night that she didn’t mind ending up with a gay man, and let’s face it, pretty much everyone thinks sanjaya is gay but doesn’t know it yet. she said she’d even date clay aiken and look the other way if he wanted to do his own thing with a webcam, which i thought was nothing short of hysterical.

    upcoming episodes of the reality hit will be bittersweet, as kathy’s father unfortunately passed away during filming. keep tissues handy…. and by the way, my condolences go out to kathy and her family. mr. griffin sure made us laugh on the show while he was still with us, and he will not be soon forgotten.

    minimalist set design, revealing costumes, and smashing things up. ladies and gentlemen, it’s a new klaxons video!

    “it’s not over yet” shows the tireless trio donning gladiator garb and battling tiny-yet-ominous floating triangles. i know it sounds ridiculous, but it’s actually quite amazing — and i’m not just saying that because i like their outfits.

    love at first sight

    kyliela3.jpg

    a massive billboard of kylie has gone up on the side of los angeles’ famed roosevelt hotel. the pint-sized popstar’s new line of swimwear can now be purchased at u.s. h&m shops, and i’m very happy that the clothing chain has decided to hype ms. minogue’s arrival.

    hopefully this will set a precedent, and kylie’s profile will remain high until her new album comes out (unfortunately we’re still waiting to hear when that will be). then again, unless you already love kylie, is anyone likely to know that’s her up there? oh well, all publicity is good publicity, i suppose.
