Another Way to Die
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
It’s finally here kiddies! The Alicia Keys/Jack White compliation which is the theme song for the new Bond film “Quantum of Solace”. If you haven’t guessed by the title of this post- the new song is called “Another Way to Die”. And seriously, if you didn’t guess that, then you probably thought I was a total crazy psycho weirdo. Maybe I’m a little quirky, but no psycho activity out of this one. The soundtrack to the movie will hit store shelves on October 28th and if you’re down for the movie save your pennies so you can be the first in line on November 14th. Click here to hear the song.
Katy Perry has always been adorable, but a doll? (insert Minnesota accent here) Ohhh yeah, you betcha! And now you can get your hands on a whole 12 inches of Katy, run a teeny-tiny comb through her ebony synthetic locks, undress and redress her till you get blisters and go blind with those itty-bitty snaps and bend her into a whole bunch of questionable postions. And, I know for some of you (JT) this is the moment you’ve been waiting for… now you can have your very own Katy Perry to love and cherish for ever and ever! Well, you and 499 other people because they’re only making 500 dolls. The press release goes something like this, “Perry collaborated with fashion designer Jason Wu in the creation of the 12 inch-tall doll, which will be sold worldwide in a limited edition retailing for $49.99 from Integrity Toys… This miniaturized version of Katy will be immediately recognizable as a signature fashion look, with her belted gold mini dress with accordion-pleated skirt, inspired by the wildly popular and 5 times MTV VMA nominated ‘I Kissed A Girl’ video clip.” As of today (Sept 29) there is already a waiting list on Integrity’s website. So Barbie… move on over and take those Bratz with you because Katy is shipping in late Fall. (Merry Christmas JT!)
Gwen Stefani just keeps on her current path to world domination. Move over Madonna and Britney- who? 25 years from now it’s gonna be Gwen who has a show at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas… but for right now she’s gonna stick to the W hotel. No, she isn’t doing a show… but her own L.A.M.B. designs will be worn by the hotel’s bar staff. Gwen has been tapped to design their new uniforms… which rumor has it- are short dresses made of washable black jersey. Look for the new outfits to hit the line of hotels over the holidays.
Holy hell this is breaking news! Amy Winehouse just dropped a TON of money- something in pounds, so I have no idea what the conversion rate is- on a 150 year old farmhouse in the English countryside. Someplace called Suffolk Village. It has seven bedrooms, three sitting rooms and a conservatory. (Don’t know what that it but it sure sounds fancy. We’ve got an English web guy here. I’m gonna ask him and I’ll get back to you on that.) But, you guys… don’t you get it! Amy is spending her money on something other than crack!!! This is big! A source for an English rag-mag said, “It is a really quiet, hidden spot where she would be away from the chaos of her life in London and could concentrate properly on getting her life back on track again,” Yay Amy! Insert studio applause here.
Kid Rock suffers from insomnia… but he just may have found the cure. Prolific songwriting. That’s how Kid came up with his latest monster hit “All Summer Long”. He was sitting there in his hat and BVDs and couldn’t sleep. He threw back a 40 of O.E. and still- no sleep. Hot bath and a mini pedi- no sleep. Another 40 of O.E., a bag of Funyuns and 11 games of mahjong later- still nothing. So he cracked out the old pen and pad and starting writing. Not long after that ”All Summer Long” was born. He says, “I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in years. My brain never stops. So I put a notepad by the bed and recorders around the house.
