Lady Gaga Falls Down

Lady Gaga has been famous for her outrageous fashion… also her humongous footwear. She usually goes out with no problem, but not this time! She fell because of those very high clogs! Good thing she did not get injured. I assume it hasn’t changed her fashion sense though!

: 50 Cent After

For those who have difficulty getting thin, this can be an inspiration. NOT! If you get into a diet and exercise regimen and would look like this? I suggest you forget about it.

50 Cent Before

50 Cent’s 9 week program was composed of water diet and 3 hours on the treadmill. How the hell was he able to get energy for that?! He lost 54 pounds for a movie role portraying an ex-football player who got cancer. Now that the movie, Things Fall Apart, has done filming, he’s on the road to gaining weight again.

Girls aged 6 and 7 performed in front of a crowd to the tune of Beyonce’s Single Ladies. Just wondering, where are their parents? Did they know that their children will dance this way?! Tsk.. Tsk.. If they do this at this age? What will they be doing at 18?

The Gentle Isolation

The song wafting through your mind calls to memory an eternal summer spent with a first love… or of a rainy afternoon spent in the warm indoors—never mind that the lyrics sing of ironic love, a boy’s girl troubles or life’s everyday pickle—what you remember is the warm, daydream-y sensation the song leaves you with.

Such are the songs crafted by Bulacan-based quartet, The Gentle Isolation. Three years a new wave cover band until they elected to re-format their sound in the Summer of 2009, Monch, Bachie, Ness and Joseph have since traded their synth-based pop for the fluid, easy-going kind. Despite the shift in genres, the band has maintained traces of their musical roots amidst the jangly guitars, elastic bass lines, brittle 12-string acoustic strumming and bare vocals that characterize their music today. Think Belle & Sebastian and Camera Obscura taking a tutorial from the Stone Roses and vice-versa.

Pending releases for an exciting compilation project with local independent label Lilystars Records, the group regularly makes their rounds in gig circuits within and outside Metro Manila, accessing audiences who are initially unaware of this type of pop music. Consequently, this earns them the attention that inspires them to continue penning infectious melodies that may someday soon be the soundtrack of everyone’s long and lazy Sunday drives.

Rihanna’s New Tattoo

Rihanna has several tattooes. But this is the weirdest one, especially after the assault issue with boyfriend Chris Brown. She now has a tatoo on her ribcage- a tattoo of a gun. Kind of violent in a way.

At first she thought of putting that tattoo on each of her shoulders. Had it pen-drawn first. Finally she decided to put it somewhere more concealing.

She is also seen recently wearing a necklace with gun pendants.

I hope she is alright, that this is just a phase.. Not to be the next psycho- Britney before.

Chris Brown Beats Up Rihanna

Moments before the 2009 Grammy Awards where he is nominated and scheduled to perform, Chris Brown was arrested. Apparently for beating up an unidentified woman. Scheduled to perform with him was Rihanna, his rumored girlfriend. Chris and Rihanna both backed out from their performance. Brown posted a $50,000 bail.

TMZ recently released this photo of Rihanna’s beaten up face. This photo is allegedly part of the police files that was supposed to be confidential. Well, not anymore!

It shows Rihanna’s bruised, scratched and swelling face.Marks are all over her face. No wonder why radio stations worldwide are boycotting Chris Brown. I don’t think he’ll be able to recover after this. What a waste of talent and stature! Tsk Tsk..
