Michael Jackson 1958-2009

Lets be perfectly honest. For the last decade, unless you read those incredibly stupid tabloids in the supermarket checkouts, Michael Jackson has been completely irrelevant. In no way am I trying to take away from the mans career but I think the media frenzy is a little absurb. Maybe I just expected a different reaction. Everyone is just in complete and utter shock over his "sudden" passing but I don't understand it. Sure he has influenced every pop artist EVER as well as generations of people, but he had really turned into a joke. His appearance alone should have been an indicator that he was well on his way to his death. It's not like the comeback he was about to attempt was going to launch him back into the center of the music world. The real tragedy here isn't the death of Michael Jackson on June 25th 2009, but the Michael Jackson who died in the mid 90's. The skin bleaching and the noise jobs are a travesty and a product of the darkest side of the Pop Industry. The child molestation charges and the baby dangling are different issues he had that are just plain bizarre. I think to sum it up his former wife Lisa Marie Presley has said it best: "A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened."

Academy to Expand Nominations

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Science announced this morning that the best picture catagory with be expanded to include ten nominations, increased from five. This catagory is the only one effected and its doubtful that much will change because if a film isnt good enough to make the top five then its certainly not going to win if its barely slides into a 10th place spot in the nomination. bleh.

In other news, Perez Hilton is a FGGT and deserved the beatn that Will.I.Am gave him. End of story. Disagree with me or the Gary Busey Clan? Didn't think so.

Go ahead and try to avoid Phoenix

A French band started in an affluent suburb of Versailles, in the same culture that produced late-'90s bands such as Air and Daft Punk. They have been Air's backing band for the last ten years. They're invading the U.S full force now with their new album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Real catchy and good summer tunes.

Flea's House For Sale

Here's a link to the real estate website that's selling Flea's $14,000,000 home in Malibu. Its on two acres of land, which to Californians is like living on your own prairie, has direct access to a private beach, and has two guest houses. Check out the pictures at http://www.redhotchiliocean.com/

Jim Calhoun is a Golden God

Jim Calhoun, decesdent of Zeus himself, recently entered a charity bicycle race for cancer awarness in Farmington CT. Jim, having been stricken with cancer thrice himself, has fought an epic battle against the disese each time-(notwithstanding his three final four apperances and two national titles in his career).

During mile 12 of the 50 mile race, he fell (obviously a enraged Michigan State fan pushed him in the heat of the moment) and managed to break 5 ribs. Not only did he get up, but he finished the whole race. He was hospitilized after collapsing upon finishing the race due to dehydration.

Cheers, Jim Calhoun, for being a real man.
