I got punched in the face with Rock 'n' Roll, via "The Voice" ... and I liked it.

If there is one thing that Jan and I believe wholeheartedly in, it's the power of karaoke. Drunkenly singing in bars and at parties is what makes the world go 'round. In fact, I firmly believe that we'd live in a much more peaceful world if leaders would get together, have a few beers, pick up a microphone, and perform a rousing duet of "We Built This City" before they make any firm decisions.

Now, you'd think that we'd be more than enamored of all the karaoke-based singing competitions that are on television, right? Well, my logical friend, you'd be dead wrong. Oh sure, we have our fun with American Idol ... but the entertainment value of it depends entirely of the train wreck factor it presents (Mariah, we're looking at you to carry that torch, and hopefully burn the motherf*cker down with it. Yeah!). So, color me shocked as hell that through the awesome power of OnDemand television, I got addicted to back episodes of The Voice, season two in particular.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall ... Who's the Best Pop Tart of Them All?

Back in 1999, a young chickadee from Louisiana busted into the music scene with a bang. Namely, she filmed a music video where she performed innocent, yet seductive, dance moves while dressed up in a schoolgirl uniform. The song became an instant smash, fueled by the success of the video (and impression that the costume choices made on teen boys and pedophiles alike). 

The song was "... Baby One More Time". The artist was one Ms. Britney Spears. And, after viewing said video, an adult acquaintance of mine said, "I'll bet that's the last we'll ever see of that one." 

Jennifer Aniston is the "Hottest Woman of All Time," I Respectfully Disagree..

It is pretty obvious to everyone that Jennifer Aniston is a stunning beauty. I'm not going to deny that. However, Men's Health Magazine labeling her "The Hottest Woman of All Time," is a gross over-statement.  I have decided that everyone who works at Men's Health Magazine is gay. Unless I am proven wrong, I will stand by my assumption. Why do I think they are all gay?

Christina Aguilera, please fire your stylist.

Christina Aguilera appeared on the American Music Awards over the weekend looking like this abomination:




"I've got a secret for you!"
The dress, the hair, the make-up, seriously?

Pot or Kettle? You choose, Kelly Osbourne.

For a brief period of time in 2009, I grew to like Kelly Osbourne. She was on Dancing With the Stars, quickstepping right into the title of America's Sweetheart, and a nice side benefit of getting down with her bad self was the fact that she started getting in pretty swell shape.

After the show ended, Kelly was looking and feeling great. Everywhere she went, she seemed to radiate sunshine as she spoke of how happy she was with her new self. Healthy, happy Kelly was a Kelly that I could possibly "like" on Facebook without too much shame.
