In Defense of...Nicki Minaj?

I don't think Nicki Minaj is really my cup of tea in the music world.


She's not. I think she's cute, and I like her attitude, but I'll pass on listening to her. Despite the radio's current obsession with her. Note to you:  I haven't had to listen to the radio until recently.

"Starships" makes no sense to me. Whatever. At all. Remotely. I've stopped the radio and asked the person riding with me "higher than a motherfucker? really? that's all she could come up with?" It just lacks creativity to me and I don't think motherfuckers come off as all that high, anyway.

Well, on that note.

Recently, as in this past weekend, as in yesterday, Nicki was barred from performing at the musical festival Hot Summer Jam. What was the problem? It's a rap festival and yes, Nicki is like, the Katy Perry of rap, but still.

The problem was that she was a "sell out."

Oh bitch say WHAT. Okay, since when does the concept of selling out matter in the world of rap? And also, this is Nicki Minaj. SHE'S NOT TUPAC. She's a dance pop rapper who is likable enough your little sister will download her music from Megaupload. Oh. Wait. That was shut down....

Nonetheless, I just think it was essentially stupid Nicki wasn't allowed to perform. She's a decent rapper (for what she is), she's fun, she's unique. Yeah I kind of feel like this :/ about her musically, but I mean, there are far worse performers out there. LMFAO? Yeah. Them.

Nicki has vowed never to play Hot Summer Jam again. Lauryn Hill and Nas went on for her instead, which I have to say is pretty sweet. But still. Nicki has bigger fish to fry. Higher than a ....

anyway, I have a lot of interviews and reviews to post. Stay tuned?

  1. I like her 50%, and yes, I am one of those people that uses crappy percentage responses.
    For example, she will put out a song that will have an awesome melody for the chorus, but the verses will suck so much it kills it. 50%.

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
