Lady Gag-Me

Pop sensation, Lady Gaga, is probably best known for her catchy tunes, crazy outfits and just crazy self, in general.

Lady Gaga first burst onto the music scene last year in 2008 with her smash hit, "Just Dance." Unkown artist at the time, Gaga's rise to fame quickly escaladed with more #1 hits such as "Poker Face," "Love Games," and recently acclaimed "Paparazzi." If you know anything about Lady Gaga, you must know that she is one hell of a weirdo! And if you don't... let's just say at first glance (picture/video) you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Seen below is a collaborated picture of Gaga at this year's MTV Video Music Awards; I'll let you be the judge.

Today, Lady Gaga released the video of her newest hit "Bad Romance." The video delivers less than nothing one would expect from Gaga. The good. The bad. And the ugly.

I, personally, love Lady Gaga! Yes, she's a weird one, but I think that's what makes her stand out above the rest from all the other pop stars. I feel like the more popular she gets, the weirder she becomes. That's what makes her Lady Gaga! Her newest video delivers all of the great essentials that have made her who she is today: originality, quirkiness, and entertainment. She's definitely a step above the rest.

Chris Brown Tweeting Back into Rihanna's Heart

On a recent post Tweeted by R&B singer, Chris Brown last Thursday stated, "IM SORRY YALL. JUST HAD TO POST IT" followed by a sappy love video of Brown and ex-girlfriend, pop star Rihanna. A following post by Brown on Wednesday stated, "FOR THE FELLAS: showing emotion doesn't make u weak... BEING HONEST MAKES U STRONG."

Oh puh-leaze, Chris Brown! Get over it.

Earlier this year, the highly publicized relationship of Chris Brown and Rihanna took a down fall as rumors speculated about Brown's ongoing physical abuse towards former girlfriend. It wasn't until after a pre-Grammy party that the 'abuse' really took toll as Rihanna was seen all over magazines, tabloids, newspapers everywhere, beaten, battered, and bruised by then boyfriend, Chris Brown. A Los Angeles police report filed in Febuary claimed that Brown put Rihanna in a headlock which cut off her breathing, bit her ear and fingers as he continued to threaten to kill her. Since then, Brown has gone on the record stating that he does not remember hitting Rihanna and is ashamed of his actions.

You've got to be kidding me if he thinks that this pathetic form of apology is going to win his way back into Rihanna's heart. What makes him think that abuse is ever OK?? It's not! And to blatantly come out like that on your "Twitter" page.... I-don't-think-so. If Rihanna takes him back over this, she's just as stupid as he is. Abuse is not something to mess around with, especially if she's willingly going to allow herself to get back into that sort of of unhealthy relationship. And if she does, what makes her think he won't do it again? I don't care if Chris Brown is sorry to the ends of the Earth and back about hitting Rihanna, YOU DON'T HIT WOMEN.

Hi Mac! Hi Apple!

Apple's newest contribution to the ever growing 'touch screen' phenomena now includes a new technologically savy "magic mouse" for computer users.

The buttonless magic mouse borrows multi-touch features from some of Apple's more popular products such as the iPhone, iPod touch, and the MacBook Pro. The idea of a 'buttonless' mouse is to blend the tradional two-click mouse with the styling gestures of the touch screen.

For only $69, the magic mouse ensures the fun of the sliding and swiping motion of a touch screen censored to your own computer; however, questions still remain as to whether such a product will actually enhance one's computering outlook or if it will just get in the way.

For me, I think I like the idea of the magic mouse more than the product itself. Being the standard size of your traditional mouse, the only cool feature about it is that it's touch screen. And to think even further into it, the magic mouse is almost ideally like the sliding mouse on a lap top. No?

Kanye Clothing Line Dissed!

After his abrupt and uncalled for outburst at this year's VMA's, it seems that Kanye West, the musician, has made an own mockery out of Kanye West, fashion designer.

The much anticipated clothing line by West called "Pastelle" was officially shut down as of two days ago, according to E! News. West, an avid fashion show attendee has been talking critics up for years about his new line of fashion featuring collaborations with other designers such as Louis Vuitton and Nike. Unfortunately for him, he can no longer look forward to fulfilling that dream.

It seems that after his little 'incident' at the VMA's, everyone is looking to bash this artist and everything he does- which I think he rightfully deserves! Someone who is willing to put himself out there in the way West did at MTV's Video Music Awards should absolutely deserve to suffer the consequences. As little support he is getting from former fans, critics, and other musicians/rappers at this point, it is not hard to see why his clothing line got shut off.

Kate Plus Eight

TLC's popular show, 'Jon and Kate Plus Eight' follows the family life of two (Jon and Kate) plus their eight adorable children. As of recent events that publicize Jon's outlandish behavior and crude comments about former wife, Kate Gosselin, and his illeged 'love affairs,' as of November 2 TLC is renaming the show, 'Kate Plus Eight.'

It seems that after the couple announced their split, ratings for the show dramatically dropped. TLC claims it only makes sense to rename the show 'Kate Plus Eight' since she is the primary care taker of the children and has not been publically scandalized like Jon has. Their new take on the show will feature Kate raising her eight children as a single mother.

Clearly, it looks to be a custody battle between the two since recent episodes of the show feature Jon and Kate drama over their kids. I was a fan of Jon and Kate, but the newer episodes seem to lack the same flare they once had since they only show Jon with the kids OR Kate with the kids, never both at the same time like viewers like me enjoyed watching because the comical aspect of Kate's constant bickering towards Jon. :)

Since the announcement of 'Kate Plus Eight,' In Touch Weekly reported that Jon had filed paperwork to "put the brakes" on his divorce. He claims that this will enable the two of them to restore a relationship as "cooperative parents" that would benefit the family.

I find it strange that Jon would claim that he wants to work on their relationship since only before the announcement of the show's name change he was seen on 'Good Morning America' saying that he despises Kate and wants nothing to do with the show. It seems like a perfect time for him to defend himself in a situation like this since he's looking at losing all credibility he once earned from the show.

Terror Attacks

It seems that after the attack on 9/11/2001 the already extreme paranoia and panic of the American nation exceeded ten-fold (and I don't blame them). But really, all the hype about terrorist attacks since then is nothing that the common people don't already know.

We, as the people, are informed time after time about terrorist attacks. Who? What? Where? When? and Why? A recent CNN atricle posted talks about places people should avoid in regards to 'terrorist interests.' Stadiums, big arenas, hotels... Um, hello? Didn't we already discuss this almost 10 years ago when it first happened?

Of course terrorist attacks are still scary! And people should be on high alert, but I mean really? Tell me something I don't know. During 9/11, the Twin Towers were attacked by a flying aircraft; "Detained terrorists have already discussed the use of aircraft and chemical weapons to attack stadiums and arenas." Oh really? Eight years later.

By all means, I am not trying to come off as heartless or un-American. My heart goes out to those millions who have lost family, friends or loved ones during that horrible incident but the fact that we are still talking about terrorist attacks today is beyond me.

Although people shouldn't be dumb founded about things to this nature, they surely can continue to take the precautions they have been doing since 2001. Our government has made it pretty clear that they are doing everything in their power to prevent something like this from happening again, and it obviously shows.

Kanye = DOUCHE!

So I'm sure everyone here is well aware of Kanye West's uncalled for outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards this past Sunday 9/14. For those of you not caught up, after 19-yr. old country music star, Taylor Swift, won the first award of the night (bes female video) Kanye storms on stage in the middle of her acceptance speech to basically publically announce that Beyonce should have won the award. HOW RUDE!!! What's surprising to me is that this is not the first time musician, Kanye West, has publically humilated himself with his outlandlish comments/behavior. Kanye is the most uncouth celebrity out there; and yet, 2 days later he still manages to capture the attention of all the press/media. If you ask me, this guy is jackass.. but genius, none-the-less.
