In his performance as the self centered doctor Gregory House, you get the idea that Hugh Laurie is versatile, but I had no idea he was this versatile. Taken from his English TV show “A Bit of Fry and Laurie” which is actually a lot of Fry and Laurie, you get five musical performances:
The first is Laurie singing The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” in a chipmunk voice; don’t ask me why. The second is a rather brutal parody of 80s Bruce Springsteen. The third I don’t really get so lets just skip it. The fourth is Hugh Laurie getting down with his inner Vanilla Ice. Yes, House actually raps. And finally we get Laurie singing the lyrics of Bob Dylan… at least as much as Bob Dylan sings the lyrics of Bob Dylan.
Apparently this guy entered some Broadway contest, and in order to raise the degree of difficulty, decided to sing both the boy and girl parts. You get the feeling he duets himself a lot…
And other than he dresses like the gay guy from High School Music that’s pretty much all we know about him. Still Nick Pitera seems reasonably talented and I’ll take a shot in the dark and say none of the other contestants want it as much, so do the kid a solid and vote for him HERE.
The NY Post is reporting a MTV insider as claiming the “A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila” star isn’t really bisexual and has had the same boyfriend for over a year… refusing to break up with him for the sake of the show.
Tila Tequila lied about something? Next thing you’ll tell me that isn’t her real breasts… or hair… or name…
At least we know that’s really her singing in her videos. No one else would take credit for it.
“Pretty Girls on Prozac” is the first single from actress Gina Gershon’s debut album In Search Of Cleo. I can’t tell you a anything else about this music video, other than prozac couldn’t have been the drug that inspired it.
It’s like a cross between Nico doing “All Tomorrow’s Parties”, the housewife pop of songwriter Amy Rigby, and large amounts of LSD.
If your still with me you can buy Gina Gershon’s album at the only place that carries it, her own website.
With the trinity of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin, composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman revolutionized what the animated musical could be; combining yearning melodies with clever lyrics on par with Stephen Sondheim. Disney would go on to systematically try reproducing every aspect of those three films, but aside from commercial success of The Lion King, each succeeding movie brought increasingly diminishing returns.
Enchanted though seems to be a return to form; at least in terms of the music. While Ashman died of AIDS back in 1991; Menken teams up with lyricist Enchanted to create something that sound both modern and like it could have come 1989 - which is the highest compliment I can pay a Disney musical.
Here’s a perfect example as “That’s How You Know” as draws from the Caribbean sound of “Kiss the Girl” without feeling redundant.
What’s that’s not the former Wanna Be a VJ contest winner from MTV singing with Beyonce? Next thing your going to tell me is it’s actually a woman singing…
Anyway, here’s Beyonce’s duet with some horrific country group named Sugerland at the AMAs last night. And while nobodies ever seen Sugerland and Jesse Camp in the same place, no one’s seen Jesse Camp at all for about five years.
Well I can’t promise you “diamond creamed facials” but I do know how to upgrade your social networking experience. Hitchaser sponsor 8hands, who’s desktop application is revolutionizing the way people are interacting online, has made their free product even easier too use.
The latest Alpha version of 8hands includes real time updates from your Facebook page, notifications when your Flickr contacts upload new pictures, and thanks to reduced memory usage takes up even less space… something Ms. Bootylicious can’t even offer.
I don’t get offended easily but I find this “I Like a Boy” video featuring internet phenomena Obama Girl and rapper Mims exceedingly offensive. Billed as a thank you to the American troops who are risking their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan; it certainly works on that level but there’s this added subtext; with lip syncing Obama Girl Amber Lee implying she won’t be interested in a guy unless he’s enlisted.
Huh? Like I’m supposed to believe that flying halfway around the world to get shot at is going to help you score? How many of these supermodels do you see walking the red carpet with a quadriplegic as their date?
I’ll be honest with you; normally I’d rather gauge out my eyes and ears than listen to a Spice Girls solo album but for some bizarre reason this video is a hot search on Google and I’m a ratings whore who will write about anything.
Anyway, the Melanie C I Turn to You Video is originally from 2000 and off of her debut album Northern Star. It was her biggest hit and isn’t the shittiest dance song I’ve ever heard which probably is going to be the best I’m able to do in terms backhanded complements.
If you thought Ginger Spice lost a lot of weight in the last couple of years; you should see her in this clip. Ok, it’s really Pavarotti… and the Spice Girls… and no I have no idea why either… but Pavarotti and Skeletor Spice are dead, so let’s pretend to be respectful.
