The Purity of Today's Pop Stars

In a world where some entertainment gurus preach “sex sells,” there has been a more traditional movement taking place with the young pop stars of today…Abstinence. Presently, American TV and Films are full of storylines, which show teens engaging in sexual lifestyles, such as ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” or movies like Kirsten Dunst’s “15 and Pregnant.” (I doubt most people saw that one.Not really my cup of Joe.) And who could forget Lindsey Lohan in “Georgia Rule?”
But now the up-and-coming role models of America’s youth are going through a trend of abstinence. Yes, that’s right, waiting until marriage to partake in the nasty deed. This new flavor of the month is practiced by the youth rockers, The Jonas Brothers, an extremely popular pop-rock group that has even been described as Beatle-esque. (Ok, they aren’t really. I’d give them the title of the next Hanson, and that’s it. And, yes, I’m one of the millions of people that compare Jonas to Hanson, so it must be true). It’s hard to imagine rock stars that are refraining from sensual love making until marriage. I wonder how their groupies feel. They probably just sit around with boys all day and have paper-thin conversations about spaghetti-o’s while they play video games. Eh, that doesn’t sound too terrible.
Other young stars who are in on this little fad are the Disney Channel’s Selena Gomez (“Wizards of Waverly Place”) and Demi Lovato (“Camp Rock”). Both of which wear purity rings: Selena bears it on her finger, and Demi wears her ring from a chain around her neck. Their rings both have the inscription “True Love Waits.” Ain’t that sweet. It’s not really a surprise since Selena and Demi are BFFFRs (Best Friends Forever F*ing Right) The two girls also host their own web show called The Selena and Demi Show (or something like that I forget). It’s not very good…sorry girls. Even Miley Cyrus (Who? Hannah Montana!!) is said to wear a purity ring occasionally. Even without wearing it 24/7 she still holds strong beliefs in religion and Christianity and also plans to wait until marriage. However, many people claim that she won’t make it.
One Yahoo user even stated: “A Purity Ring won’t hold her pants up!”
So maybe for her next birthday or Christmas, whichever comes first someone can get her a chastity belt with the Hannah Montana logo on it. Wow, couldn’t you just see those added to her collection of Wal-Mart merchandise? Then once she finally manages to marry one of the Jonas Brothers (probably Nick although, Joe has the better haircut. Duh!) she can start her line of Hannah Montana Birth Control Pills! I can’t wait.

So it’s clear that teens of the spotlight can resist the temptations of everyday life, and for each pop star that plans to wait until marriage. More power to you. Except you, Demi Lovato. You removed me from Facebook. WTF!

Questions and Thoughts for You Guys: Do you think Miley will make it until marriage? If you had a purity ring what would the inscription be? And do you think the Jonas Brothers are the new Beatles?

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas
