Madonna itunes Playlist

Madonna did one of those Celebrity Playlists over at itunes and never have I laughed so hard staring at an itunes window.  Let's hope she didn't put much thought into this (sadly, I bet she did.)

I'm not gonna rag on her too hard, cause I know you kids flipping worship her.  But seriously, Eminem?  Madge, u still on dat homeskillet, really?  Still-izzle? 

And liking 50 Cent in 2008 will NOT help you look black, young or urban. In fact it makes you look white, old and suburban.  And two tracks from 50 Cent on an 8 song playlist makes you look like a mom at a Bat Mitvah making DJ requests you think your 'daughter will like'.  No.

But I'm happy she is recognizing Kylie, Janet and Rihanna, that's cute for them, I guess.  Click on the above jpegs to read the full story.

In less depressing Madonna News, the Demo for Confession's "Get Together" leaked on Music Box Mix and it's really good.

No Spoilers: Sex And The City

I love hype.  I do.  I find myself getting hyped up on things I know I won't like; it's how I end up with most concert or comedy show tickets.  Promotional e-mails and posters work on me.  But not this one. 

I'm so surprised to say it, but I don't have much interest in seeing "The Sex and The City Movie". 

Maybe it jumped the shark, or I find this whole thing very over-produced, but PopMuse says: "eh."  The poster is over thought, the girls interview soundbites sound rehearsed, this promotional campaign is overwhelming, it's everywhere and no where does it look fun, just desperate.

I'd love for it to have been an HBO-only movie, that may have worked for me.  Some things work on TV and not the big screen, like Jennifer Aniston. 

Now that said...  I do LOVE the Jennifer Hudson song on the Soundtrack.  It takes a while for it to get going, but once you hit the second half it soars.  Check it out...

LISTEN: JENNIFER HUDSON "ALL DRESSED IN LOVE"

See Blake Run

So WOW TV has a new show called "See Blake Run".  I totally stumbled on it knowing nothing, but here's the swirl:

Follow the exploits of WOW runner Blake Jacobs as he drives around town sharing his musings, delivering packages and listening to his own personalized party mix.

This kid's a star. The accent, the t-shirts, the beard, the smile.  Oh and the music cues are very clever too.   

If PopMuse was working at WOW I'd prob have a crush on Blake, I have a thing for delivery boys - just ask Bloghungry, (did you know he was delivering Pizzas when we met?)  And if that's not enough, the way Blake say "Michael" (see eps 3) would melt me.

And I can relate, PopMuse's first job in LA was as a runner for a game show, and although it was miserable sitting in all that traffic, going to those entertainment industry offices was kind of glamorous.

WATCH: SEE BLAKE RUN

Jean Shorts? Again?

I was just at H&M, and they were selling Men's Jean Shorts.  Yes, seriously. 

I'm not ready for that to come back, I'm not ready at all.  Are you going to go for this?  Really?  Why?  No, I can't, I just can't.

Sing Out and Drive

Driving in LA, when you have the music very loud and you can't hear the world outside, it feels like the world outside can't hear you singing (screaming) along to your car stereo.  This is not the case.

This morning as I was singing (screaming) Chris Brown's new single "Superhuman" I proved this to be true.  "Superhuman" (on a re-release of his latest CD) is really just "No Air" Part 2, slash, I love it.  And what's great about Chris' voice is that it is so nasal, one thinks they can hit those notes he does, but based on the looks of the fellow drivers stuck in traffic and the homeless people on the sidewalk staring at me, PopMuse can't actually hit those notes.

D'LOAD: CHRIS BROWN "SUPERHUMAN"

Speaking of singing in your car, last Friday Night me and Bloghungry were driving around and saw this cute gay driving a Silver Merc singing (screaming) that Lady GaGa song "Just Dance".  It made us both laugh and he caught us laughing and I've felt bad about it all week, because I really respect a full commitment to singing in the car - a head snap, a hand slap on the steering wheel, an eye close (well maybe that isn't the safest...)  So if you are reading this, sorry for laughing, the minute you drove off we both commented how cute you were.

And obviously I love that Lady GaGa song too, who doesn't, it's the hottest...

Boom Boom Blog 5-20-08

Boom Boom Time...  Here's the latest collection of dance mixes I've found on-line (and enjoyed.)  Let's jump right in...

Blake Lewis "How Many Words" (DJ Dan In Stereo Mix)
Missing the vocal, so more a reinvention, than a remix.  I love the original too, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

The Ting Tings "Great DJ" (Soul Seekerz Mix)
The original is the one for me, but for those of you sick of that one, here's a mix.

Usher "Love In This Club" (Stonebridge Mix)
Again, loving the original still, this one kinda gives me a headache, but I would still be very happy to hear it on a dancefloor, (ah dancefloors, memories.)

Rihanna "Cry" (Steve Mac Classic Mix)
I know, old, but a fellow blogger just reposted it and it reminded me of how red hot it was.  Re-visit this one, you'll be happy you did.

Alex Barattini "Everybody Be Somebody / Bomb"
What is wrong with me for posting this mash-up?  It'll make you laugh.

 Alanis Morissette "Underneath" (Josh Harris Club Mix)
Dance mixes by Alanis make me uncomfortable.  But you need them don't you?

Rihanna "Take A Bow" (Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel Club Mix)
There's a better mix of this, but I'm saving it for my next big mixed CD.  Yes, you heard it here first... I am finally compiling a new Dance Mix "Disco Globes 2008" coming in June Bitches!!!

Haven't you heard? I'm the crazy bitch around here.

Guess what the new saying in my house is?   Love "Gossip Girl" writers.  A lot.

And P.S. get used to PopMuse Video Clips being captured off of my living room TV, it's the new thing and I'm an early adopter, (dramatic pause) ladies.  Plus, it's like creating the fourth wall, which is so 2009.

Swank Gett's Off

Watched "P.S. I Love You" (well watched half of it) at Bad Movie Night tonight.  This here clip above, is a HOLY F*CKING SHIT Moment (there are many).  It's Hilary Swank singing Prince's "Gett Off" karaoke-style.  Yeah, terrifying.  And that stomach shot - ewwww, having a 16 inch waist is NOT sexy.

Two more notes about this movie.  It's a lesbian film, made by lesbians for lesbians.  CLEARLY.  And they are using Ted Demme's Urn as a prop to stand in for Gerard Butler's, which is totally disgusting.  Talk about rolling over in your urn.

"MAY 5" A MIX BY MBP

"May" CD Mixes are an annual mix I do each year to celebrate my anniversary with Bloghungry.  This one is entitled "May 5", because we have been together for 5 Years. 

Instead of the gooey ballads of past May Mixes this one is more of a Pop Dance Epic.  Much time and care was put into making it so I hope you'll take time and care listening to it (IN ORDER!!!)  There are many more notes about the songs included and the overall themes in the Booklet in the .zip file (links below).

Hope you all enjoy. 

And Happy Anniversary (Part 1) BH, love you.

Adam Sandler: Post-Mophobic

What exactly happened to Adam Sandler to make him so homophobic?  He is so brazenly homophobic he is Post-Mophobic.  In fact he is so Post-Mophobic he is going to dedicate the final films of his doomed career to lame gay jokes.  I know he is a big Republican, but damn, you're in Hollywood, how bout a touch of tolerance bitch. 

I want to laugh at the Mariah T-Shirts in this poster and traiier, but coming off of Chuck & Larry I just can't see humor in another miserable gay joke.  Too soon, too soon.
