christina aguilera, what the hell are you doing/i love you for doing it


I feel like this could be said about her whole career, really. hmm.
anyway, I applaud her for taking risks. "Elastic Love" with M.I.A. was a gutsy move. In fact- I listened to "Woohoo." the whole album plays like a gutsy move. what is Britney doing these days anyway? hiding in the south, trying to keep Sean Preston off her lap while she drives her tractor around intersections? Christina may have won the battle here. oh, but you know what Britney is thinking. SHE WILL WIN THE WAR. eat your cheesey poofs, Britney. plan your fifteenth comeback with Girl Talk and Calvin Harris. it will be okay.
I just wikipedia'd (WHAT A SAVVY RESEARCHER I AM RIGHT) the new Aguilera album (Aguilera, arguably Wexford's most famous resident, no offense Rebecca!)- apparently GOLDFRAPP had songs riding on this. GOLDFRAPP.
and let's be honest: today's pop stars, old and new alike, live in the post-Lady Gaga world. I mean, that girl changed things around some, for better or for worse. for better, really, what am I talking about. hear that noise? Ke$ha is puking with the sunrise. let that be a lesson to you. Christina and Lady Gaga have variously been accused of copying off each other. blah blah blah. I would consider Bionic something in a Gaga-esque vein, surely. does that mean she's copying her? I don't know. Christina has always been really, really weird. do you remember "Dirty?" my TV doesn't like to talk about it. it hurt its, well, let's cop a title here. "Woohoo." I am not sure what to make of that song...
and Aguilera does shift her identity a lot. her last album, Back to Basics, was a pumped-up retro affair. I enjoyed it, but I guess a lot of fans weren't having that.

okay I just turned "Bionic" on WHAT IS GOING ON ????? oh wow I like this. okay. can you believe she dueted with Ricky Martin? me neitherrrrr.

Sia and Le Tigre also have songs on this album. kudos to Christina! Sia's understandable- she's edgy, you know, but not too edgy - but Le Tigre is being brave. and my goodness Peaches! !!!

I understand Aguilera had to cancel some tour dates due to poor selling. which kind of sucks, because this album seems like it has the potential to be pretty awesome. actually, I'm getting excited!

fans: just love Christina already. I don't know if this is going to be her lasting identity, but we get bored easily. and we all still love Madonna's flaky ass.

SO DO YOU THINK
HER COMEBACK WILL SINK OR SWIM?

and remember:
"a diva is a female version of a hustla, of a hustla..."- B

p.s. I am in DC for the weekend. peace!

  1. hmm, sink or swim?
    probably swim slowly, very slowly.

    PS: The photo reminds me of HR Giger without the darkness.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

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
