ADORABLE 8 YR. OLD BRITISH GIRL PERFORMS SUPER BASS WITH NICKI MINAJ

She's got it going on!!! Sophie Grace Brownlee became an internet sensation performing Nicki Minaj's Super Bass and leave it to Ellen to bring them together. This little girl has flow and can sing like crazy!! Nicki is impressed. Watch the adorbs video below.

HILARIOUS!!! HETEROSEXUALS WHO LIKE GLEE

This shizz is funny!!! Here is a rap by Chris Nester about two straight guys who like Glee. It's slightly NSFW, so put your headphones on, work folks. Ha. This is pretty amazing. "Sometimes we kiss eachother...on the d*ck". haha.

NEW-ISH MUSIC: LANA DEL REY - VIDEO GAMES

Lana del Rey is pretty new on the music scene. Since debuting a couple of videos on youtube, the singing sensation/controversial figure has caused quite a stir. Some call her a phony, saying she is the product of producers and managers changing her name (from Lizzy Grant) and her image to that of a retro-pinup girl. There is no denying however, IMHO, that this song, Video Games, is dazzling. It's sexy, eerie and beautiful all at once. Three things I love. Lana is also quite beautiful, which always helps when forging a pop career. Where does she fall in with other pop singers? Good question. I would say she's a cross between Lady Miss Kier from the 90s group Deee-lite and Nora Jones with a little dash of Fiona Apple. Do you see that? No? Then you're stupid. JUST KIDDING!!! Okay, so watch and listen to the video (which she did herself, also sexy, eerie and beautiful) below and judge for yourself. Here's Video Games.

ALBUM REVIEW: NICOLA ROBERTS - CINDERELLA'S EYES

Okay, I have reviewed both of Cheryl Cole's albums and Nadine Coyle as well. Both from the British Uber-girls Group Girls Aloud. Now comes the third member to put out her solo effort and it's the best yet I think!!!! Nicola Roberts, the seemingly shy red head who was always getting overshadowed as come out of nowhere and dropped an album full of pop fun and serious vocals. It's no secret that Beat of My Drum is one of my fave songs of the entire year, but it's not even the best song on the disc. Second single Lucky Day is pure joy, and gems like the staccato chorus of Yo-Yo, the pulsing beats of the title track and the beautiful melody and defiant lyrics of Sticks + Stonesall deserve their time in the sun. There really is not a bad song in the bunch!! Take that, Cheryl and Nadine! I will say that there is one other album Cinderella's Eyes reminds me of and it belonged to another ginger from a British girls group. Yes, Geri Halliwell's debut album Schizophonic is all over this disc, with a few updates and tweaks. That is a compliment by the way. But I digress. Very strong solo debut for Nicola. I understand it isn't quite connecting with British listeners, so bring it over here, girl! Now go out and buy this girls disc if you can find it. You will love it. Watch her two videos below and listen to Sticks + Stones.


BEYONCE'S NEW VIDEO IS A RIP OFF OF A BELGIAN CHOREOGRAPHER

WOW!! This is pretty blatant, I must say. Beyonce's new video for her song Countdown is pretty much a rip-off of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's choreography for Rosas danst Rosas and Achterland. I mean, it's exactly the same for gays' sake. Even the "behind bars" aspect. Geesh! De Keersmaeker states, “What’s rude about it is that they don’t even bother about hiding it. They seem to think they could do it because it’s a famous work. Am I honored? Look, I’ve seen local school kids doing this. That’s a lot more beautiful.” Well, that's a good attitude of course. The director of the music video, Adria Petty (daughter of Tom Petty), in an interview with MTV, stated that along with Knowles, they viewed some German modern dance clips and taking inspiration from them, although she never mentioned De Keersmaeker specifically. I mean, who knows if Beyonce even realized that this video is basically stolen goods, but it's pretty clear. To see the resemblance, watch the comparisons below. Give credit where credit is due!

I'M BACK!!! LET'S GET THIS PARTY RE-STARTED

Hello, everyone. It's been a very exciting couple of months. I had a BIG birthday (a lady never reveals her age) and I got married!!! Yes, thanks to the good people of New York, my now-husband Ben and I were able to get hitched right here in NYC at the beautiful Soho House and had 83 degree weather to have our reception on the rooftop. We ended up, with many of our guests, jumping in the pool fully clothed! (as you can see in the picture I have posted) It was the most amazing weekend of my entire life. The only thing that made it bitter-sweet was the passing of my father on my wedding day. In my mind it was his way of being at the wedding. We had a contentious relationship for a few years, but I always knew he loved me, even if he didn't approve and couldn't open his mind to my life. I know he cleared the sky for my special week and made my sisters' visit as beautiful as possible. R.I.P., daddy. Now the next stage of my life begins as a married man. I'M FREAKIN' MARRIED, Y'ALL!!!!

OMG!! How freakin' great does Madonna look. This bitch is 53!!!! Here is the Queen of Everything at the Venice Film Festival premiere of W.E., her drama about the infamous love story of Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII. Wow.

In honor of Our Lady of Arms I would like to give you a VERY VERY special megamix by Robin Scouteris that starts with a ballad version of Deeper and Deeper (that I have never heard) and then kicks our asses for 10 minutes. Live it!!!!

NEW STEVIE NICKS VIDEO: FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

Gorgeous video to fit the beautiful song. Stevie Nicks is showing 'em all how it's done. Her album In Your Dreams has spawned a lovely, deep ballad and an even more stunning video for the song For What It's Worth. Listen to these lyrics!! Classic Stevie. She is looking great at 63. And yes, that Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics in the video with her. He is featured heavily on the album. Watch and love.

NEW GAGA VIDEO: YOU AND I

Here she is, back in outrageous form! After the toned down version of Gaga in the Edge of Glory video, we have the mistress of mayhem back for the outlandish adventure in Nebraska that is You and I. There's so much to take in that I had to view it three times to get everything that was going on. Now I am obsessed!!! Creepy, beautiful, sensual, sexy; the video is part Little Mermaid, part Brid of Frankenstein and ALL Gaga. Enjoy the video for the countrified rock of You and I. I am going to declare it among her best.

NEW NICOLA ROBERTS VIDEO: LUCKY DAY

I'm not quite as in love with this as I was with Beat of My Drum, but it's pretty darn good. Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud has released her official second single, Lucky Day, and its accompanying video. Cutsie-bootsy!! Love that her dress is about to show her cooch throughout the entire video. Hope it was warm the day of filming. Beyotch is getting me excited for her debut album, Cinderella's Eyes, which is to be released in the UK sometime in the fall. Can't wait to hear what else she has in store for us.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MADONNA!!!!

Another year, another gay holiday. Madonna, the Queen of the Universe, is 53 today. My how time flies. Madonna made me gay, you know. I can't remember being as obsessed with anything in my life as I have been with my life-long girlfriend, Madonna. She has brought joy to not only me but millions upon millions of people all over the world and is continuing to do so. Will she be a part of my wedding? Duh!!!!! I'm not saying how though. Stay tuned....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: DEAD OR ALIVE'S PETE BURNS STILL LIKE A RECORD...

...but in plastic surgery hell. Pete is turning 52 today, and despite his bizarre appearance, his voice is still as strong as ever. Back in 1984 Dead or Alive released their giant hit You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) and it hasn't gone away since. The song is definitely one of the biggest, most recognizable hits of that decade; however, Pete has become unrecognizable. His appearance was always a bit of a shock, but since Dead or Alive hit the States after Boy George and Culture Club, his androgyny was a little out of this world. Maybe he is super-happy with most of what he's done to his face (although he has gone public with his dissatisfaction with his lips), so who am I to judge. Dead or Alive did have a few more hits on the charts, including other classics like Come Home With Me Baby, Brand New Lover (my personal fave) and Lover Come Back to Me, but the band's signature hit is still You Spin Me Round. The song hit the UK charts again in 1996, 2003 AND 2006. Hey, why fight it? Regardless, here are some of the hot hits that the 80s band put out that burned up the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Just a little nostalgia for ya today. Happy birthday, Pete.

FLASHBACK: DOLLY PARTON - SWEET SUMMER LOVIN'

In my opinion, this is the sweetest of summer songs. From Dolly Parton's album Great Balls of Fire, Sweet Summer Lovin' was a breeze coming through the radio that landed at #7 on the country charts in the fall of 1979. Now I grew up in Texas, so we had the radio on country sometimes, y'all! I love me some Dolly anyway. The song is pretty, sweet and simple, just like me. Maybe that's why I like it. Wait. What? Anyway, enjoy some Dolly on this sweet summer day.
