ABC Will Let Adam Lambert On Its Network Only In a Pre-Taped, Censor-Friendly Environment


Looks like ABC is reconsidering its ban on Adam Lambert. Not only will he be a part of Barbara Walters' annual The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009 on Wednesday night, Lambert will stop by and sing on Thursday's The View. But because Lambert still cannot be trusted — he might touch his crotch at any moment! — the appearance will be taped. And GLAAD is congratulating itself all the way to the bank.

"ABC has taken a step towards fairness by inviting Adam Lambert to perform on The View," says GLAAD chief Jarrett Barrios in a statement. "GLAAD has been advocating against the double standards that have been applied to Lambert as an openly gay performer. We thank community members and allies for voicing their concerns with ABC so that entertainers like Adam have the opportunity to be broadcast into living rooms across America." (Also noted in the GLAAD release: "Earlier today [Friday] GLAAD urged constituents to contact ABC to express disappointment. Throughout the day, GLAAD continued conversations with ABC that began two weeks ago when the network announced the cancellation of Lambert’s performance on Good Morning America following his performance on the American Music Awards.")

We can already hear the stupidity from Elisabeth Hasselbeck brewing.

Portia De Rossi talks to the Developmentally Challenged hosts of The View.

Animal Rights Now

Help End Military Trauma Training On Animals

Thousands of healthy animals are used by the military for trauma and chemical-casualty training exercises every year—even though superior non-animal alternatives are available. In the current training exercises, live pigs are shot, stabbed, and burned; live goats have their legs broken with bolt cutters and cut off with shears; and live monkeys are poisoned with harmful chemicals. These barbaric exercises are conducted on many military bases in the U.S. as well as on other bases around the world.

Now is your chance to help end the unnecessary suffering and deaths of animals used in trauma and chemical-casualty exercises. Please take a few minutes to read more about these cruel exercises and take action now.

Questions & Thoughts On North American Politics:

Do u think the new administration should launch a separate commission on 9-1-1? Let's lobby for it. There are still a lot of unanswered questions.

Why is Canada still in Afganistan? America in Iraq? Geez, how long does it take to scoop up some oil and run for it? I mean, how long does it take to "spread democracy?"

How awesome was Hilary in the Congo? Yelling and screaming about nothing. Who cares! Her husband is a tool and she needs to vent. Plus, women abuse is rampant in the region, and it is important that she be diligent.

K that's all for now folks.

Dancing

Did anyone see "So you think you can dance tonight?" I watched for the first time EVER just to see Ellen. What was all the crying about? Man these dancing types are so intense. That chick in the orange with the tooting horn and the high pitched voice really needs to chill out. She made me want to pull out my hair...

Ellen's hair, on the other hand, looked hot.

My fear.

“George W. Bush’s war on terror was the front door, and Barack Obama now has gone through the waiting room door into what the Pentagon has prepared for him, our very own thirty years’ war: purposeless, neither winnable nor losable short of genocidal measures — or, as in the 17th century, by laying waste the lands and ruining nations.” - William Pfaff

Dancing With This Star



Jewel - Grey Matter

I hate you, I love you
Leave, please
Don't go away
Can't decide if
I like your face
Or if I wish
It would stray
You're a child but
You're malicious
You're sweet but
Don't remember my name
And heads you win
And tails I'm lost
And love equals pain

I am drifting
Without an anchor
Through your ambigous region
A strange continent
Immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by
Your grey matter

Inside my skin
I feel your tongue
Telling me I'm dirty
And licking my bones
A surge against silence
A knife across a plate
Makes the sound
Of need on hate

I am drifting
Without an anchor
Through your ambigous region
A strange continent
Immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by
Your grey matter
And I do not understand
Why a woman can't
Just love a man

You're amusing
You're a real cool show
With your meat hooks
And barbed wire carnival
You got glitter in your pocket
You got mothballs in your soul
From too many false teeth
And greasy flash bulbs

I am drifting
Without an anchor
Through your ambigous region
A strange continent
Immune to all reason
And I'm flattered by
Your grey matter

I love you
I hate you

HISTORY

Icelandic politician may become world's first lesbian Prime Minister
By Tony Grew • January 27, 2009 - 15:08

Iceland's Social Affairs Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir

It is reported that Social Affairs Minister Johanna Sigurdardottir will be named as interim Prime Minister.

If chosen Ms Sigurdardottir, 66, will become the first openly gay or lesbian person to become a head of government.

She has been an MP since 1978 and was recently voted the most popular politician in Iceland.

Yesterday the country's Prime Minister stood down and the entire Cabinet resigned.

A general election has been called for May 9th.

The government was toppled by the financial crisis, which severely affected the Icelandic banking system.

The International Monetary Fund began a $2.1bn (£1.49bn) bailout programme in December to stop the nation of 320,000 people going bankrupt.

Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden are lending Iceland an additional $2.5bn.

Prime Minister Geil Haarde had hoped he and his Independence Party could continue in coalition with the Social Democrats.

Negotiations broke down yesterday and the coalition was dissolved.

Mr Haarde, whose party currently have 25 of the 63 seats in the Althing (the Icelandic parliament), has annouced he will not stand for re-election, citing health problems.

At present the Social Democrats have 18 seats, the Greens have nine, the Progressive party has seven and the Liberal party has four.

"I have decided to ask the leaders of the Social Democratic Alliance and the Left-Green party to engage in conversation about forming a new minority government backed by the Progressive Party," President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson said earier today.

"Therefore, I give Ingibjorg Gisladottir the mandate to lead the talks."

Ms Gisladottir, 54, the country's foreign minister, has been critical of the Prime Minister's response to the financial crisis.

A former Mayor of Reykjavík, she has led her party since 2005.

She had brain surgery last week.

"We have taken the baton — the government should be operational before the weekend," she told reporters after the President's statement.

My favourite song as of late

Alanis Morissette - Madness

I've been most unwilling
To see this turmoil of mine
The thought of sitting with this
Has me paralyzed

With this prolonged exposure
To near and averted eyes
I think that I've been waiting
Such mileage for empathizing

Now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on
When you're not in the room
Though I'd love to blame you for all
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you

Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you
For your most generous triggers

It's been all too easy
To cross my arms and roll my eyes
The thought of dropping all arms
Leaves me terrified
[Madness Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ]
And now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
Now I know the madness lives on

You simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you

Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you
For your most generous triggers

I'd have to give up knowing
And give up being right
You, inadvertent hero
You, angel in disguise

And now I see the madness in me
Is brought out in the presence of you
And now I know the madness lives on
When you're not in the room
And though I'd love to blame you for all
I'd miss these moments of opportune
You simply brought this madness to light
And I should thank you

Oh, thank you
Much thanks for this bird's eye view
Oh, thank you

I am in love with this song




Cyndi Lauper - Rain On Me

(C. Lauper, Axwell, A. Kronlund, P. Chou)

I saw you gather all your hopes
With all your dreams
I waved just like a shooting star
That once had waved to me

I am a lover in mid air
I think about it i don't care
Into the fire of despair
Just like a train that goes nowhere

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain, rain on me

There was a time i got it wrong
Is shakes my memory
And all the time i had it all
It's just i couldn't see

I am a robber in the dark
Singing about a broken heart
Answering whistles in the air
Waiting for someone else to care

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me

When the rain came tumbling down
And both your feet were on the ground, oh
Running fast and free, oh yeah
Well maybe time's going to wear you out
Or maybe you're going to come around, or
We'll just wait and see oh yeah

But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain on me
But you can rain on me
Yeah you can rain, rain on me

Yeah you can rain on me....

My Most Anticipated Albums of 2009

1) No Doubt - Title TBD

Release Date: Spring

"You can't think of 1990s music without thinking of No Doubt and their musical influence on that era. I can still see lead singer Gwen Stefani's bleach blond locks and ruby lips belting out tunes in "Don't Speak." Their unmatchable style is not just for the record books, though. The quartet is set to start touring soon, so be sure to purchase tickets before they're all sold out. You won't want to miss a reunion like this."



2) U2 - No Line on the Horizon — The Irish giants' 12th studio album finds them reteaming with production wizards Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno and Steve Lillywhite for what has been described as a throwback to 1991's rocking Achtung Baby



3) The Fray - 'The Fray'

Release Date: Feb. 3

"No matter how many times I watch "Scrubs" or "Grey's Anatomy," I can't help but fall in love with The Fray all over again. This Grammy-nominated foursome is best known for their catchy sound and heartfelt lyrics. Their latest single, "You Found Me," has already been playing on radio airwaves for a few weeks now, which is just a tiny taste of what the group is sure to bring with their new album. With their new self-titled release, expect to see them on the Billboard charts a lot in 2009."



4)Green Day, TBA — How do you follow up American Idiot? We'll find out this summer when the pop-punkers-turned-concept-album-kings unleash their Butch Vig (Nirvana) produced album

5)Kelly Clarkson - 'All I Ever Wanted'

Release Date: March 17

After parting ways with her management in 2007 and going through some very public changes musically, Clarkson returns with her fourth studio album, "All I Ever Wanted." The former "American Idol" winner worked alongside OneRepublic's lead singer Ryan Tedder to produce the collection. Clarkson has always had an edgy, yet enduring quality about her voice and as long as that hasn't changed, she's sure to have fans welcoming her back with open arms.

6) K-OS - Yes!



7)Eminem, Relapse — Speaking of comebacks, Slim Shady is prepping one after almost five years out of the game, with Dre reportedly helping out on most of the album.

8) Lindsay Lohan, Spirit in the Dark — The actress' third album has been described as a dance/hip-hop affair with production from J.R. Rotem, Stargate, The-Dream and Timbaland.

9)Third Eye Blind - 'Ursa Major'

Release Date: February

This group has come a long way since their early "Semi-Charmed Life" days, but they still have not lost the capability to make music that will touch your soul. There have been a few growing pains along the way, like a six-year hiatus and bassist Arion Salazar's absence from the group, but "Ursa Major" will likely be on shuffle in every college student's iPod next month.

10) Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D. — Described as a musical "diary," the latest from the hip-hop group will reportedly be a constantly evolving project that is frequently updated.

Dating Someone with BPD is hard. Fuck it.

Alanis Morissette - "Sorry To Myself"

For hearing all my doubts so selectively and
For continuing my numbing love endlessly.
For helping you and myself: not even considering
For beating myself up and over functioning.

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.

For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
For myself love being so embarrassingly conditional.
And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible
And for trying to fit a rectangle into a ball.

And
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.

I'm sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
I'm sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

For blaming myself for your unhappiness
And for my impatience when I was perfect where I was.
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready,
And expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be.

To whom do I owe the first apology?
No one's been crueller than I've been to me.

And
I'm sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
I'm sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ?
Forgetting you or forgetting myself...
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter,
I would've naturally loved the former.

For ignoring you: my highest voices.
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious.
For being so disassociated from my body,
And for not letting go when it would've been the kindest thing.

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one's been crueler than I've been to me.

And
I'm sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I'm sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
I'm sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I'm sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else

The Weight Of The World

John Mayer - Daughters

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
but she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls are continually changed

And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Ooh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too
So mothers be good to your daughters, too.
