my 4-year-old knows the lyrics to 'take it off' or: Ke$ha on the Today Show

I just have to say, this was of enough importance to me that I put off taking a shower, but not important enough to DVR. You see, Ke$ha would want me dirty/filthy and unable to go back to figure out what the hell just happened.

(amirite?)

I missed the first, oh, minute of 'Tik Tok' because I was brushing my teeth (...TRYING...TO...RESIST...MAKING...AWFUL...JOKE) WITH A BOTTLE OF JACK (/FAIL), but what I did see actually was a little bit impressive. She did not sound terrible. She didn't really sound good, but seriously, only like, Sarah Brightman and Celine Dion sound good in that kind of 'outdoor mini-concert' situation. At one point during 'Take It Off' she was clearly adjusting to find the pitch but she did so within a few beats and then stayed on key. I read somewhere that she can actually sing, and I will go on believing this until something happens (like, say, the Orange Bowl) that proves she is talentless and tone-deaf (Ashlee YOU HAVE OTHER TALENTS MAYBE?).

At one point, she was on her knees, bent over her little keyboard, looking for all intents and purposes like one of those sloshy, drunk chicks on GGW, before one of the camera guys jumps in and gives the girl a 'hand.' (By 'hand' I mean 'cock in the butt.' LOLZ!)

My mother watched, aghast, as Ke$ha did step-aerobic-inspired lunges and shimmied against her scantily clad (...gold hot pants) back-up dancers. Who were, we were probably all discomfitted to realize, men. Or at least, 18 years old. I hope.

...

ANYWAY. Ke$ha's outfit itself, fishnets, tall boots, glittery hot pants and grungy, cut-up shirt, played beautifully off her glitter-painted arms and face (DID SOMEONE GET PAID TO DO THIS? SERIOUSLY, IS SOMEONE GETTING A PAYCHECK BECAUSE THEY PAINTED DOLLAR SIGNS ON HER ARMS?). I mean that. She was dressed like a vagabond member of a Twilight-themed dance team. Also, can I just squeal, OUR NAILS ARE PAINTED THE SAME COLOR!!! I sound derisive, but I swear, I love Ke$ha. Her nails were painted black. Mine are painted black. I love you, Ke$ha. You get me.

The highlight of the whole thing, for me, was when Matt Lauer interviewed her briefly. The invisible thought bubble over her head read: 'HEH. HEH. HEH.' Matt treated her with the same interested equanimity he gives to actual celebrities (and which he apparently forewent with Lilo's mumsies), albeit looking slightly afraid she was going to do something that would sic the FCC on him. I sat there, holding my breath, waiting for her to grab his crotch. No such luck! She just smiled and answered his questions and looked a little spacey. Probably from the glitter paint fumes.

In toto, the whole thing was great, really, really great; a fun little Friday morning romp. But like all morning romps, it would have been a lot better if she had just grabbed Matt Lauer's crotch.

(You can disagree with me, but we all know it was better than whatever happened with the Jonas Brothers, going head-to-head on GMA.)

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...
