Britney Spears’ Blackout is Fiyaaaaa

Believe the reviews, if you like dance music and/or Britney (I’m of the former camp more than the latter), Britney Spears’ newest album Blackout is hot! It’s heavily produced and a little Futuresexlovesounds, but really, that’s the kind of music Britney should be doing at this point because no one has ever been crazy about her vocals and she definitely, definitely cannot sing “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman” songs anymore.

On top again, yo.

I thought it was going to be a few months until anything would break Carrie Underwood’s Carnival Ride monopoly on my inside car listening, but Britney will make an appearance this morning. Let’s just say that it’s good enough that you forget that she’s wearing a wig all the time.


We keep on walkinggggg…

Britney Spears' Blackout Hits Store Shelves Today

Well, actually tomorrow… But nonetheless, it hits stores Tuesday, October 30th.

Ready to rock out with my cack out for Blackout

Gimme Gimme my Britney CD!!

While the CD has leaked all over the Internet like a water balloon made of Silly Putty, forcing her label to push the release date up by two weeks, I have resisted listening to the CD beyond what Ryan Seacrest plays on the radio while I’m getting ready in the morning.

I don’t really know what to expect from it, but the reviews have been fantastic and I figure that it had to be good enough to leak to the Internet and for people to care.
Gimme Gimme your munnies!!

While Tuesday is Halloween eve, it’s also the return of a wackier, crazier, but hopefully musically better Britney Spears.

Blake Lewis releases trailer for Audio Day Dream

American Idol Season 6 runner-up Blake Lewis has his debut studio album Audio Day Dream in the works and AI fans are pretty excited about this one. From the looks and sounds of the trailer he just released to YouTube, it sounds like it could be pretty amazing!

Blooblippidydahbloobah!
I was a Blake fan (or a Blaker Girl) this season, so I’m really looking forward to this album (scheduled for a December 4, 2007 release). There’s another official trailer going around and you can see it on the AmericanIdol.com site.
Here’s some pre-AI videos of Blake in action that have me very excited for the album.
I like this one…
More than this one

New hobby?

While I swing a little bit like Happy Gilmour and David Ortiz, I went to the driving range for the first time ever in life (I realize that I say that so much because of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, from the episode where he meets with Ashley’s teacher) with my homey Linda last night.

You can get with this…
Or you can get with that…
I wouldn’t say I was amazing, but I was a lot better than I thought. More importantly, golf, or well, the driving range, is a lot of fun! I enjoy the challenge and the discipline that you have to put towards the game. Because if you don’t focus, you end up sucking! With a borrowed 9 Iron from the “Pro Shop” (is that what it’s called? It makes me want to start calling people Chad and chit chat with people about playing polo at our house in the Hamptons… even though I don’t know where the Hamptons are), I was hitting the balls to about the 120 yard mark. I was feeling pretty good about these swings, until this amazing Korean guy right behind me was just BOMBING the ball off the tee with his driver! Good lord…. made me proud…

I think I’m going to take a lesson or two so that I can learn proper technique and I might pick up a club this weekend. I never thought I’d like golf and I still don’t know if I do, but I do love the driving range.

Not me.

Carrie Underwood to perform at Game 3 of the World Series

The Red Sox are in the World Series and my favorite singer Carrie Underwood will be opening up the show at Game 3 tonight with the Red Sox up 2-0. As long as the Sox win, could a game get any better?

Carrie says, “Noooo….”

For a preview of what we can look forward to tonight, here’s Carrie’s performance of the national anthem at the 2005 NFC Championship game.

And of course, you can check out the official news item on AmericanIdol.com! I do realize that I should have capitalized “Fall Classic,” but my editing software isn’t working for some reason from home.

The Real World / Hell’s Kitchen

With some encouragement and more positive feedback than I expected, I sent in my essay to be considered for The Real World today.

I believe they’re already filming the upcoming season, which I believe is in Hollywood, but with only one year left (have to be between 18 – 24 to apply), I thought I’d give it a shot.

I’m also going to a Hell’s Kitchen taping in November, which I’m all kinds of excited about.

If they call, you know you guys will be the first to know.

Gimme gimme MORE!! Gimme gimme!! (Britney’s Blackout)

At one point, Britney Spears was pretty much once the definition of a pop idol. She was called a “pop princess,” and in a crowded room filled with others like Christina Aguilera, Christina Milian, Jessica Simpson, and Mandy Moore, for years, not only was Britney a “pop princess,” she was the Queen Bee (of pop, not in terms of Lil Kim).

And now, two children, a “chaotic” marriage and divorce, a few less than flattering photos, the most famous haircut ever, and a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards that everyone said would tank her career, Britney is back with her new CD Blackout, dropping on October 30.

Gimme gimme MORE positive reviews!!

 

Perhaps what’s most surprising of all is that Britney’s Blackout, an album that most everyone was likely looking and hoping for to fail miserably to continue the story that has been the past two years of her life, is getting incredible reviews!

So far, Entertainment Weekly gave it a B+ and The Times Online gave it 4 out of 5 stars! Gimme, gimme MORE!

What I find most interesting about these extremely positive reviews for Brit Brit is that they really fuel the whole idea of having a cycle of celebrity. People love watching celebrities fall… hard, only to have them rise up from the ashes better than they ever were before. With these positive reviews, it looks like Britney could be well on her way to doing so. What’s next? Lindsay Lohan bouncing back from “I Know Who Killed Me” ? … let’s not get ahead of ourselves (but she definitely will).

While positive reviews for my Idol Carrie Underwood appear few and far between, Britney is racking them up by the armload. With “Gimme More,” being one of the catchier songs on radio and top digital downloads online, Blackout will be in my possession next Tuesday.

Once again, Britney will no doubt be “the center of attention.”

Fashion show slip ups

So I don’t know a lot about the world of fashion, catwalks, runway models, etc., but apparently, there are a lot of mess ups. On America’s Next Top Model, we see how models have to walk in horribly impossible shoes on wet stages and whatnot. It looks really hard!

The newest clip circling the web features a guy doing a flip on the catwalk, only to make a hole in the floor that one of the models somehow falls through later in the show. It’s so ridiculous that you feel like you’re watching a sitcom.

Put some cardboard over dat dere hole.

Another popular spill is Carmen Electra’s famous flop at the Max Factor fashion show.

Wee!

But still, perhaps the most famous fall on a stylish walk was Miss USA Rachel Smith taking the most graceful “I’m going to spontaneously sit down on my butt on stage” fall ever in a Miss Universe pageant. While incredibly surprising, the clip kind of makes me sad because Rachel Smith is probably one of the hottest Miss USA’s ever and she ended up getting 4th place instead of bringing the title back to the USA (because that matters).

So hot, yo.

Mike Williams looks a wee bit larger than he once was…

And this is not a knock on former USC Wide Receiver Mike Williams’ conditioning.For some reason, I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw Mike Williams’ profile page on NFL.com.

Is that the face of a wideout?? bahahahaha this is a ROFLcopter.

It makes me laugh because clearly, the NFL/Oakland Raiders have a picture of Mike Williams.

The guy on the right.

Here’s a guy who was one of the most dominant receivers in college football history and now has two touchdown catches in three years.

What does that get you? A bad profile page on NFL.com.
