Yeah I haven’t been around for a while, I had a mad spurt of assignments due and assorted other business.

Anyway, is it me or is that Pussycat Dolls song ‘Beep’ on every music channel every day at least five or six times? Its ridiculous. Their videos are like watching a keep fit video. I’m not exactly sure why the lead singer - who is quite possibly the most naturally beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life - is even in the band, considering every single song that they make is basically her singing and the rest either dancing or high fiving each other in a you go girl fashion. Apart from the other one I like, considering they’ve had three consecutive hits its crazy to think I’d have serious difficulty picking the rest of the members out of a police line-up. I’d be very surprised if any of them even met Busta Rhymes despite shooting an entire video with him.

PROBABLY THE TWO MUST SUPERFLUOUS BAND MEMBERS ON EARTH

In that ‘Beep’ song, African American background woman is for some reason really hot. Thats not to say she wasnt hot before, but she hadnt had any individual screen time until now. The third video. Anyway she’s the one who does this same move where she flicks her ass at the camera three or four times and then dances with that schmo from the Black Eyed Peas for about twelve seconds. And when I say dance I mean repeat the chorus and then walk in his vague direction for three steps. Wikipedia tells me her name is Melody but I’m not sure because all the pictures I can find of her either prove that make-up is far better than I give credit for, or the background members of the Pussycat Dolls are in fact so irrelevent that they just hire random people for every new song.

(Revision: I found a screencap of the hot girl Im talking about above)

And speaking of the Black Eyed Peas. Way to lump another pile of shit on to their turd mountain of a musical career. No creativity? Thats okay, just follow the tried and tasted method of taking an old song and laying your shout PUMP IT and LOUDER over the chords for four minutes.

Did you people watch the Oscars? Crash winning Best Picture was one of the best things to happen ever. Maybe if Magnolia had won before it in 1999. I love the film but it is Magnolia with worse performances, worse music and it didnt feature Tom Cruise saying I will drop kick those fucking dogs if they come near me.

That said, I dont know a single person who liked Brokeback Mountain. I also loved when Clooney won best supporting actor. His speech was good but the best part by far was Jake Gylenhaal going YES and pumping after Clooney won. These people are up for academy awards and they cant fucking act like they’re happy for their colleagues convincingly. Its like when that Sideshow Bob guy lost to Kelly Clarkson on American Idol.

YES IM SO GLAD YOU WON AND I JUST LOST ON NATIONAL TELEVISION

And don’t you think the prestige of the Oscars was sullied a little this year? I mean we’ve got Seymour Hoffman putting in god knows how much time and effort into transforming himself into Truman Capote taking home an Oscar, we’ve got George Clooney with a great performance and almost breaking his spine for putting on the weight the role required taking home an Oscar, we’ve got Heath Ledger, fantastic rug-munching performance NOT taking home an Oscar and then we’ve got that woman from three 6 mafia (who sure, is hotter than the fucking sun) taking home an Oscar for literally singing “You know its hard out there for a pimp. When he’s trying to get money for the rent. For the Cadillacs and gas money spent.” THAT WAS IT.

Anyway I’m gonna cut this update short a little bit because I was gonna talk more about the Pussycat Dolls but I’ve lost interest.
