Moby's Recommended Reading
Moby ponders hair plugs. Oh, the price of fame… THISGIRL GOT THIS IN HER EMAIL FROM MOBY AND THOUGHT WE’D SHARE ‘CUZ IT’S SO TRUE! my friend laura just sent this to me.  i really do wonder why so many people pursue and glorify fame, when fame almost invariably results in a short, sad life for the famous person (most celebrities have a life expectancy somewhere between...

Passion Pit Rocks Pinfield's Holiday Extravagana
By ThisGirl Jessica Pinfield Matt Pinfield’s Holiday Extravaganza at the Hammerstein Ballroom can be described in one word: epic. The line up included Manchester Orchestra, Jack’s Mannequin, Passion Pit, and Phoenix. Manchester Orchestra opened the show and their hypnotizing drum melodies and dark beats. Next up, Jack’s Mannequin with a high-energy performance that got the...

Oscar Watch Continues
Will Clooney get an Oscar nod? That’s still “up in the air,” but the NBR loves him. By This Girl’s Jezza The National Board of Review has spoken, and once again, I’m scratching my head. Though I have nothing but love for the NBR for bestowing Best Actress honors on three of my favorite performances of the ’00s (Annette Benning in Being Julia, Julie Christie...

Tiger Mistress Count Holds At 6 — But For How...
But he seemed so happy … by ThisGirl’s Jezza I couldn’t care less about Tiger Woods and his extramarital affairs. The story bores me as much as golf.  When will people realize and accept that men cheat? Even the ones who are busy pointing fingers. Remember how John Edwards took to throwing stones at U.S. president Bill Clinton during the whole Monica Lewinsky brouhaha, while...

How Long Will Susan Boyle's Dream Last?
Susan Boyle does her best Home Alone pose. By ThisGirl’s Jezza So Susan Boyle sold 701,000 copies of her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, in its first week, thanks to word of mouth, underdog appeal, YouTube, and okay, to some degree, talent. That’s more than the 2009 releases by Eminem, Jay-Z and Black Eyed Peas moved in week one. But can she possibly achieve career longevity once...

Random Grammy Noms Thoughts
And the winner is … Sasha Fierce! Um, or is it Beyonce? By ThisGirl’s Jezza The 2010 Grammy nominations confuse me. How does Beyoncé’s “Halo” get nominated for Record of the Year, while “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” gets a nod for Song of the Year (a songwriter’s award)? Is “Single Ladies” a triumph of songwriting over sound? ...

R & R Hall of Fame Screws Linda Ronstadt . . ....
When will Linda Ronstadt be loved … by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, that is? The most significant female rocker of the 1970s has yet to be inducted alongside fellow distaff interpretative singers Brenda Lee and Dusty Springfield. She’s not even among 2010’s nominees that will ultimately determine next year’s class: ABBA, The Chantels, Jimmy Cliff, Genesis, The...

Rihanna Grows Up (and Toughens Up) on 'Rated R'
By ThisGirl’s Jezza In four and a half years, Rihanna has released three fantastic singles (“Pon De Replay,” “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want” and “Umbrella”), yet she’s never held my attention for long. I’ve always wanted more of her music to sound as interesting as she looks, but big hits like “S.O.S.” and, in...
