I especially agreed with the paragraph about Vin being by no means a bad lyricist, but not having quite the same wit as Jesse in his lyrics.

I think it's a great album. It's no 'Devil and God...' (which to me is a 10/10), but it's still fantastic.
I think the biggest difference between this album and their previous efforts is that they've essentially been written by completely different people; Jesse barely did any writing for this, it was written almost entirely by Vin. I love 'Daisy', but I do hope Jesse returns to writing the next album.

Perez Hilton is a total cunt.
Michael K is where it's at: www.dlisted.com

Are two of the best songs I've heard this year.
This album is better than a 6 out of 10, though it's a better review than I was expecting it to get on here.

from Evil Dead 2!
(As I'm a girl, I couldn't really do this costume myself, but can I enter anyway for giving him the inspiration?)

Groovy.

All 3 times that I've seen them live, I started to think they knew it was my favourite. Just catch them next time they tour, they'll probably keep doing that one.

Exactly.
You'd hope so, but the reality is, most of us would be exactly the same, I know I would.
In fact, I'd probably be worse.

This is entirely unsurprisingly, since a thin woman can't walk past a magazine stand without the covers of Heat and every other magazine screaming at them that being thin is wrong and disgusting and we should all be overweight and embrace our "curves" (rolls of fat, in the case of celeb magazine favourite Beth Ditto).
I swear, the backlash against super-skinny was supposed to point out that not every woman can be a size 4 (NOT zero! We are not Americans!) and those who aren't shouldn't have to feel bad about that, but instead what it's doing is trying to convince anyone below a size 10 that they are wrong and disgusting and conforming to some sort of impossible ideal, despite the fact that some women just are like that.
The whole thing makes my blood boil, it really does.

I heart Paris.
She may be spoiled and rich, but there's nothing she can do about that, she was born in to it. She's incredibly funny on The Simple Life. She always comes across as a pretty nice person in interviews. She must have some kind of brains to have remained famous for as long as she has by not doing very much at all. Her album was excellent.
There are many other things, but my main point is this:
Though everyone would like to think they're such a great person that they could never be anything ike her, can you honestly, honestly say that if you grew up in the environment she did that you would really be any different?

or is this website starting to seem like it's entirely dedicated to bashing the Daily Mail?
Fair enough, the paper is ridiculous and usually fairly offensive, but it's verging on a post a day.
And, let's face it, The Express isn't much better, but there's not been a single post about a story from there.
I can understand hating the paper, plenty do, but it's starting to seem like the Lipster is holding some sort of a grudge or something.

A guy I went to college with was obsessed with BB, and is also gay, ridiculously flamboyant and outspoken.
So, the exact kind of person they're looking for. He'll probably be in there next year.

the biggest problem with SATC is that the main character is the least interesting.
I would have found it a much more interesting show if Miranda was the main character, as she's really the only one who was never completely man obsessed and was entirely independent.

He didn't post that picture of Lily drunk after the bit about Katy Perry, he posted a picture of Lily WITH Katie Perry as proof that the two had met.
And Lily Allen is hardly one to be standing up against unnecessary bitchyness, how many slanging matches has she had with various other celebrities, almost all started by her?

"If you were designing GA stage outfits, what would they look like? I'm thinking maxi white sequinned robes with thigh high side splits, pointed hoods and navel grazing necklines. Very Boney M"

So, they'd all be wearing the exact outfit from Kylie's 'Can't Get You Outta My Head' video?

I went to that show in Cardiff and should point out that it was amazing, and the costumes were all wonderful.

so I know roughly who she is, but have no idea what she does.

Since I've never been able to find a foundation quite pale enough for my skin.
Whilst the make up is very good and the perfect clour for me, it's horrendously overpriced. It's £12, plus it's only available from ASOS.com so there's an extra £3 post and packaging, and there's hardly anything to it!
I've never seen a pot so small, it was so disappointing.

She's actually suing several newspapers and magazines, not just the Mail.

"Entertainment Tonight refused to air a video of dead celeb du jour Heath Ledger hanging out at a drug-fuelled party a few years ago "out of respect for Heath Ledger's family". No such respect is extended to Amy Winehouse's relatives, who get to view their little angel sucking on a crack pipe in the news almost every day."

To be fair, I think the reasoning behind that is that Heath Ledger is dead and it would seem disrespectful to air a video that people are only interested in because of this fact.

I was just about to say she looks like her dad.

since it completely ignores the fact that women often cheat on men too, and are just as often forgiven.
I don't think a man cheating on a woman shows disrespect for women in general either, since there are lots of reasons people cheat.
Surely the last sentence in this should be "If your partner has been caught...", otherwise it makes women look like poor victims of cheating who would never do something so awful, which we all know isn't true.

I don't fancy him NOW, but I did when he came out. I was crushed. I think it was the first time I ever bought a newspaper was to read that story.

Ooh, on the gay musicians subject, I mustn't forget Steven Gateley.
Sigh.

I'd say yes.

Although she seems to call herself a 'male female chauvinist pig' after the title of a book written by, shock horror! a woman.

Though Will Young will always be the biggest crush I have had on a gay man, and he has done some very good songs indeed. That being said, I was 13 (I think) during that first season of Pop Idol and I cried when Garteth lost.

My favourite pop song of the 2000's?
It's a tie between several Girls Aloud singles.

I think so.

and her clothes. I don't know why, but I like the corpse look.
Also, I love Vicky B, but she does break the cardinal 'legs or boobs' rule way too often.

I felt bad just for watching it.
I'm not usually one to get on their high horse about this kind of thing, but the paparazzi really have absolutely no decency in situations like this.

I see no point in her. She's just Amy Winehouse but not as good.

It really is all just very sad. The paparazzi were swarming, all surrounding the ambulance. I think there comes a point when it it should stop being just celebrity gossip. She's clearly mentally ill and I think the point has been reached when she needs to just be left alone by the media to get help.

She's two years below the legal age of consent in the US, her boyfriend is three years older than her, and she's the star of a kids show on Nickelodeon.
People are saying she's so stupid because she's probably ruined her career, Nickelodeon don't want to be seen to be endorsing underage sex, so she'll probably get the sack.

Despite everything going on with her personal life, Back to Black is still an incredible album.

rock on.

I love her though.
It's impossible to hate her if you've seen The Simple Life.

Less than ace?
Are you mad?

It's brilliant.

Nothing in this review seems to suggest he was. It mentions absolutely nothing about the performance or the music, just his own memories.
Nothing against trying something different, but you are writing a music review. Perhaps mention the music at some point?

When will the carnage end?!

I really liked this lot.

but as a person, she's a total arrogant slag.

That they've named themselves The Enemy in an attempt to align themselves with the NME?

God bless Tobias Funke.

"This week's NME features Beth Ditto as naked as Avril Lavigne on the cover. For confused but well-intentioned reasons. Those of you with long memories will recall the last time a semi-naked woman was on the front of the NME, it was Lesley Rankine and Silverfish, who were in turn parodying the Polly Jean Harvey cover from a few weeks before. PJ and Beth Ditto were both on the cover as a riposte to traditional ideas of female beauty and societal nomrs - both had hairy armpits, for example.

The trouble is, it's all a bit muddled. Because NME, for all its other faults, doesn't usually have FHM-style covers, so the value of putting Ditto on the front, without pants, is a little lost. Kate Jackson, it's fairly safe to say, hasn't been lined up to slip out of her corset for the next Long Blondes piece, because that would bring a stream of letters calling them for trying to flog magazines with sexist pictures. Likewise, the Twang don't turn up with only a well-positioned tree to preserve their modesty.

So, is NME they saying it's okay for Beth to be on the front nude, because she isn't 'conventionally attractive'? And if that is the case, isn't that simply endorsing the idea of there being 'conventionally attractive' in the first place?

Or does the paper feel that a naked Beth Ditto is, from its reader's point of view, every bit as desirable as, say, a naked Amy Winehouse? In which case, isn't it a little bit Felix Dennis to be selling music magazines with female flesh?"

You are very cool indeed.

I quite admire them for it, rather than going for whatever band the record company wants to promote.

Is that they always seem to choose bands that they personally like, rather than those that would be appropriate for the event.

Pfft, shall have to go to Southampton instead. Even though the Guildhall is a dreadful venue.

using 'They clearly had fun making this record' as an excuse for it being shit? Even if it is tongue-in-cheek, it doesn't stop the music being terrible.

so it's worth a look.

Know any of the song titles!?
The track listing is so indecipherable I have no idea what any of the songs are called. But it is definitely a fantastic album, no doubt.

and it really is very good.

Sounds good to me.
Though I'll probably have to drag some random friend along.
