Things we don't get: Dave Matthews Band

Posted by Angel Thu Apr 24, 2008 1:55pm PDT
I totally agree!! Couldn't ever stand them & still can't!! Though I did get a giggle when his tour bus dumped human cr*p all over a boat of tourists... Other than that I could care less about the stupid band....

Can you be gay in hip-hop? A new book is about to name names

Posted by Andygirl Thu Apr 24, 2008 10:09am PDT
I say, as a queer, that this is great. the need to hide gayness is recyling the fear and homophaobia over and over. by outing big named gay and lesbian rappers, people who are already icons and role models, we can break down the barriers and taboos of gender stereotypes and how we view them and their images. it's all about PRIDE!

Quote of the Day: Mariah Carey says hellz no to babies

She's only saying this because she just worked hard on her body and is on a fitness kick. Of course she doesn't want to get bigger for ANY reason right now! It may sound shallow, but I think it's as simple as that. Also, people who want kids really should stop to consider how they might mess them up. No one's perfect and no one has perfect parenting, but I think that is what she probably meant. She knows what she can handle. Geez. Shouldn't every woman?

George W. Bush has no say in daughter Jenna's vote and we think that's awesome!

Awesome! Being closed minded because of your party or parents is not very logical....I recently switched parties from R to D because I want the best person for the job, not the person who is the default candidate for my party.....She did a very gutsy thing, all should respect her for it

Amy Winehouse: only crazy people headbutt

It is the saddest thing watching someone die slowly. She has such great talent but would rather do drugs and make an ass of herself. It makes me angry that these talented, rich stars who are given the world can't keep their lives together. They are given everything and would rather be in a coma.

Mama Spears admits concern -- too little too late?

I think that both the Spears girls were thrown into a world much to overwhelming and fast for their tender ages when they started. They grown up way to fast and I think without the guidance they needed to stay away from the dangers you hear all time are in this bussiness. Let's hope they both get thier "acts" together and become better people becasue of their troubles and mistakes.

Anguish, tears, disgust: Carly gets the boot off "American Idol"

Posted by Donald R Thu Apr 24, 2008 7:04am PDT
OMG I TOTALLY FEEL YOUR PAIN (SIKE)....lol who cares about american idol. I am mad that the Suns lost to the Spurs twice already.

I rather liked her tattoo. Carly has a beautiful voice, I'm sad to see her go. It won't be the last we see of her. Brooke drives me nuts, I cannot stand her polly purebread personality. I cannot believe see was able to keep her mouth shut long enough in front of the judges tuesday night for them to finish what they had to say. The judges are not consistant with what they want, damned if you do damned if you dont..Send Brooke home.
