“Another Part of Me” is just one of the few singles that broke the streak of #1 hits from the certified 8x platinum Bad album in 1988, chart-topping out at #11 on the Billboard charts after it was released. The video features live footage of the ‘Bad’ tour, the biggest selling world tour of the 80’s, bringing in an amazing revenue of over 124 million dollars citing Guiness Book Of World Records. I really love this clip, every time I watch I dance, it’s just full of energy! You really get the whole ‘concert experience’ from it. I bet the 70s/80s rocked at that time!

Gnarls Barkley - “Run”

Yes, new music from Gnarls Barkley, I was getting tired (not really) of listening to S.E.! Gnarls Barkley is one of my most favourite bands ever. I adore them, I do. It’s nice to hear all new material in hopes of a possible upcoming LP. Oh, I rejoice a drowned yay over the sounds of my taping of keys, I’m speaking as I’m typing. The song, “Run,” is so G.B., very uptempo and jubilant. I love it!

Remember Leona Lewis? Her new video for the single ‘Bleeding Love’, shot by Jessey Terrero, recently premiered on Yahoo! Music and will be premiering on TRL today. I absolutely fell in love with this women’s voice on ‘Angel’ and now every time I hear her soothing vocals, I break! I wish Lewis the most abundance of success while debuting in the U.S.! Treat her kind, Jive! Btw, it looks like they shot this in Times Square - beautiful! I want to go to NY so bad.

US Magazine recently released a list of the top 10 most powerful girls in Hollywood, and R&B singer Rihanna and actress and Disney star Raven Symone snagged the 3rd and 9th spots, respectively. Rihanna’s “Umbrella” was the song of the summer, spending seven weeks at the top of the charts, but the singer says she’s not done yet: “I’m looking at getting into film, and I’m working on my own businesses.” Raven Symone, who has just launched Ravensymonepresents.com, has been dubbed the $400 million woman by Ebony for the estimated revenue her “That’s So Raven” show has brought Disney. Hot damn that’s a lot of dough! Peep the rest of the list after the cut. CONTINUE READING

Quote of the Day: “I’m Not a Nighttime Person.” - Clay Aiken

In a recent interview with New York Magazine, Clay Aiken revealed that he isn’t interested in dating anyone (male or female), and that he doesn’t enjoy going out to bars and clubs. Why? Because he’s not a nighttime person…

“Let’s not fool ourselves,” he says with his eyebrows up in his arch, queeny way. “The truth is? There are people like Justin Timberlake, males who are cool on radio right now, and then there’s me. If I heard myself in a dance club? If I went into a dance club—which I never do—and I heard Clay Aiken come on, I’d roll my eyes and get out. But you know what? I’m fine with being kind of vanilla! It’s oh-kye!” In his book, Aiken says that it’s not just clubs but also bars he dislikes: “The only reason people go to bars is to get drunk and have sex. To me, bars are what hell is like.”

He imagines his social life here will be “nonexistent, really. I’m not a nighttime person.” He does not plan on dating, and he is not involved with anyone. “Heck, no,” he says. “My dogs.” He has never had a romantic relationship with anyone, unless you count the girls he took to dances back in high school in Raleigh. “I just don’t have an interest in … any of that at all. I have got too much on my plate,” he says. “I’d rather focus on one thing and do that when I can devote time to it, and right now, I just don’t have any desire.”

But Aiken is 29 years old and he is also a human. Surely he must have needs. Urges. He contemplates this in silence for 20 or 30 seconds. “Ah think maybe I don’t! I mean, not really. I’ve just kind of shut it off, maybe. Is that bad?”

So does that mean he’s asexual? Call me ignorant, but that’s the conclusion I’m drawing here. It’s not like he’s 10 years old and at that stage where “girls are icky and have cooties.” We’re talking about a grown ass man here! And based on the interview, NO ONE (neither guys nor women) appeal to him. I mean … somebody help me out here. I’m confused lol

Anyhow, catch Clay Aiken in his broadway debut in “Spamalot” from now up until May 4th.
