L. Lo hits a new Low

gidget: Poor lindsay. Her big 21st bday was coming up and she all got herself charged with a DUI. Man, must be a bummer. Oh wait, there's more. The cops found cocaine in her car, and cocaine is actually illegal. Poor L.Lo, i don't think she knew that. Can you blame her, everyone does it in Hollywood. stupid Hollywood stars, is DUI the new pilates? seems like everyone is doing it. OH, and do not forget L.Lo is not 21 yet so she is technically not allowed to drink in the USA (that includes Hollywood).

decided to go with something from Feist's first album cause i keep hearing the new album everywhere i go (and that gets annoying). Video is cute. Feist can't dance, but i like how she tries! Buck 65 is cute in the video too.

First Bitten

gidget: So, SJP is launching her clothing line, Bitten, at Steve and Barry's on June 7. There have been many critics complaining that the line is boring. Well, let's think about this shall we? SJP made the decision that she wanted all the clothes to be under $20. Unlike some celebrities and designers who design for, lets say, H& M and target, SJP wanted to keep the clothes affordable for all women in the United States. That means clothes that stay under the price of $30. And that does not often happen when there are celebrity lines released. SJP also wanted to focus on clothes that women wear everyday, and wanted the clothes to be comfortable. So, perhaps what some wannabe fashionistas are disappointed with is that it is SJP, and not Carrie Bradshaw who designed the clothing.
From what i have seen of the line, i like it. Now, people who know me know i have a crush on SJP and may think i just like it cause of SJP. No no no. Anytime someone starts attempting to show people that they can look nice without spending a ton of money i think it is wonderful. Also, SJP made her line available in a whole range of sizes (sizes 2-22). When she was on Oprah she explained:

"This was really, really critical criteria to me," she says. "It was only a natural extension that these clothes are for every woman in this country no matter where you live, what you look like, what your skin color is like, what you are, where you are in the economic strata, everything. And that it's not for us to decide what looks good on somebody else. It's for women of all sizes to determine what makes them feel good."

Sure the clothes are simple (it's still Steve and Barry's) but there are some cute pieces in the line. And if she keeps up with it, who knows what another line could bring?
pictures are of Bitten by SJP on the Oprah show.

Pumpkins are back!
gidget: the pumpkins played their first gig last night in Paris. If you go to Youtube you can find tons of clips. Some of them are not the best quality, but it is still worth viewing them. Here is a short, but great quality clip of a new song

I am liking the new stuff. The first single, Tarantula, is super great! Man, Pumpkins bring me back. You know, it took months for me to drive a car without listening to The Smashing Pumpkins 'cause my brother only listened to the pumpkins when he drove! Here is a short clip of Tonight, Tonight

kinda gives me goosebumps hearing them play it!
Now i am super excited about the new album. Man, this year is a very exciting year for music!

Like we need another reason to L-O-V-E Kylie!!!

Jem: Okay, so this news is a little bit old but it's worth mentioning. Even though Kylie is no longer dating Oliver Martinez, she is still seeing his dog, Sheba.

Kylie says that Sheba was a great comfort to her while she was going through cancer treatments.

Sheba escorted Kylie all around Paris on a recent trip.

Kylie rocks!

Gidget: Actually Jem, there is a much bigger reason to love Kylie this week. The reason she has been in South America is because she is currently working on a MUSICAL! Now that explains why she was hanging out with a film director.

Bitch stole my idea!
gidget: Bob Geldof has some thoughts one the whole 'Live Earth' concert that Al Gore is putting on this summer. Bob wants to know what the specific goal is for the shows? And why in heck did you use the name Live Earth when it sounds so much like Live 8? Huh Huh...so why did you Gore? Can't think up an original name? Hehehe...Geldof still hopes the shows are a success but raises some very good questions. Geldof is quoted as saying "I would only organize (Live Earth) if I could go on stage and announce concrete environmental measures from the American presidential candidates, Congress or major corporations," he told the newspaper. "They haven't got those guarantees, so it's just an enormous pop concert or the umpteenth time that, say, Madonna or Coldplay get up on stage." If you want to read the entire article you can go here

Well, there have been reports of Kylie spending time with a married Chilean Film Director. Not only is the director married, but his wife is expecting their second child soon. I knew Kylie was not a homewrecker and that she must just be friends with the man. Turns out i was right. Kylie released a statement explaining how the two are just friends.
Kylie even states "I have never been unfaithful to a partner and would find it completely immoral to be involved with a married man."
Man, i just love her!

Sexy M.Fgidget: Prince is going to be doing 21 concerts in London at various venues. He is taking a little break from his Vegas club to do the shows in London. After the marathon London series, he is going to be taking another break ( so i don't know when he will be back performing in Vegas) Why is he taking a break? to study the Bible. No i am not joking, that is what he wants to do. Good for him. The Bible is a big book!

So, Mr. Timberlake is reporting that he will be going back into the studio with Madge. Ugh. He may even sing a duet with The Queen. He claims that "he is a fan....a fan that tricked Madonna".Whatever, she just wants to work with your boyfriend Timberland and you tag along. But please, for the public sake, take a gd break. I am sick of your stupid face!

Rumours are going around that Penelope Cruz and Lenny Kravitz are hooking up. Well, they are spending a lot of time together, so that must mean they are hooking up. Man, Lenny hooks up with anything. But to be fair, so will Penelope.

(Jane Fonda don't care 'cause she is hanging with her boys Dallas Austin and Big Boi).

Fancy yourself some webber, eh?

gidget: More tori amos news. NME is reporting that Tori is working on a musical, and that she is inspired by Andrew Llyod Webber. This could either be amazing, or horrific. no middle. i guess the problem may lye in hearing other people sing songs Tori has written. And not only singers, but musical theatre singers. You know how they all have that Voice. The article is here.

Ummm.....Jem, did you secretly make this video?

gidget: you know, it's been a pretty good year for music so far. Bjork's new album is amazing. Declare Independence is the song of the summer. Then again i have always loved songs where Bjork goes a little crazy mad and yells. Still, the song is amazing and i can not get enough of it! It reminds me of Pluto a little, except Declare Indpendence is calling all of us to action. Actually, that is what i find interesting about her new album, different songs remind of different previous Bjork songs. Some critics are saying that the album is going back to Debut and Post days, but i hear some Homogenic in there as well. I feel so lucky that i have been able to see Bjork live, even more lucky that i saw her during her Vespertine tour. Hearing her perform with a full orchestra was chilling, to say the least.

Bjork performing Pluto at Coachella (short clip of the performance)


I have been so focused on Bjork's new album i keep overlooking the fact that Tori Amos has a new album. I use to be a HUGE tori fan. Like many a high school girls i wore out my copy of Under The Pink and Little Earthquakes. I was not interested in the last two albums she released, but i am digging the stuff i am hearing off her new album American Doll Posse. I love how Tori plays with different characters, and even physically embodies them in the album art work.
Here is a clip of Tori performing her new song Velvet Revolution


i have never seen Tori in concert, and she is one of the artists on my to see list. i just never seem to be able to catch one of her shows. Even this tour she is in Europe when i am in North AMerica. No Doubt she will be in North America when i am in Europe. Man, the 16 year old girl inside me is a little sad over the fact that i can not seem to see Tori live.

Sunday Morning Music
gidget: a classic tune, by an amazing singer. I just love lesley gore. She is adorable in the clip of "you don't own Me". Can you believe she scored a top hit with 'It's my Party' (produced by Quincy Jones) when she was only 16? She also turned down television and movie roles and stopped touring to go to college. Smart and talented.

Prince, Elton, and Bette oh my!

gidget: i have got to get meself down to Sin City. So many amazing shows to see. Prince, and Elton, so good. ANd now, Bette Midler is going to be there.....that is just too perfect. i must give credit to my dear friend zio for showing me the true awesome power that is Bette. Now that lady can just kill a performance. She sends chills down the spine with vocal power. And for those of you who think Bette is only Wind Beneath my wings and from a distance, go rent The Rose. Plus, Wind beneath my wings is a good song, so suck it!

Finally!!!

Jem: After a year of waiting, BBC's Robin Hood is being released on DVD in Canada. I swear, if I'm to continue being married to a BBC actor, I'm going to have to invest in a region-free DVD player...it's not right that I have to wait an entire year when the entire United Kingdom has had access to my Richard.

Richard plays a baddie in this series: Guy de Gisborne. He plays Robin's competition for Maid Marion. As if someone would pick another boy over Richard...

Gidget, I should have this when you come to visit me in June...guess what we'll be doing!!?

gidget: Oh Jem, you must be going crazy with antici...........pation. That's the problem with BBC actors, we have to wait to see them. I was just thinking about how I hope Michael Fassbender is more movies a.s.a.p, cause he is too cute to not be on screen.
p.s.-The cover of Robin Hood is so wannabe LOTR!

Everybody
gidget: this is why youtube is so amazing. A VERY early performance of Madonna singing 'Everybody'. I love early Madonna! Her outfit reminds me of the outfit she wears in the Who's That Girl video. You know, the part where she is hanging out/singing to the kids. Well....she is wearing a similar hat and a pair of shorts in the video.


So, did you hear that Britney Lip synched another show last night? Man, stay home and lip synch in front of you bathroom mirror like everyone else girl. i feel sorry for anyone who paid to see a 15 mins. performance.

Give me a Break!
gidget: so britney performed a little set last night to prove that she is still.....i dunno how to finish that sentence. Anyway, the girl performed for 16 mins! And by perform i mean lip sync every song. At least that is what is being reported. Pictures and clips from the performance are making there way out and here is a short clip of her lip syncing Toxic (which is a kick a** song).

Like, what is the point of this! you're not singing and the dancing is lame. go home and hang with your kids.Practice dancing in your basement, and maybe take some singing lessons. Then after a couple months maybe you can try to perform on stage again. But really, you do not need to. Maybe it is time to hang up the hooker outfits and try something new.

in other news, Madonna did not actually get a new haircut. She just actually styled it. recent pics show her hair looking blonde and wavy. i am glad the colour is the same (i wasn't sure how i felt about her strawberry blonde colour), but i really like the style she had going on in the pic. I think it would have made a very nice haircut. then again, i also loved the bob wig she wore in the jump video.

Jem: Of course you're diggin' on the short hair styles lately, Gidge. You've been talking about cutting your hair short for a while so it makes sense!

Got a brand new haircutgidget: Madonna got a new haircut and colour. I like the cut. Very nice. Her outfit is killer as well. Very chic. I love the bag! She looks very sophisticated.I think i need to see more pictures to decide if i like the hair colour. Once again Madonna looks AMAZING!
ps-i miss you more jem!

Brush your Teeth!

gidget: This is silly, but it makes me laugh.

Jem: Hee hee! This is pretty silly, Gidge. But I still wouldn't mind dining in heck with Gerard.

Miss you already!!!
