American Idol Results: The Right Losers Went Home!

Published March 5th, 2010 by Karen


VIDEO: So, if you want to get voted off of American Idol, cover a Creed song and you’ll be sent home, instantly.

Wow, we have to say, we were actually happy with all four of the contestants who were cut and sent home on Thursday’s American Idol Season 9 results show. Crazy, right?

Of course, that may just be because so many of the singers were horrible—like, Creed cover song horrible—that we would’ve been happy to see any of them go home.

Do you agree with the eliminations this week?

We do! (Well, we’re not sure why Todrick is still onboard…)

So, who was kicked out of Hollywood this week?

Let’s find out! Continue reading »

John Mayer: Twitter Apology for Bad Language, Not Bad Music.

Published February 11th, 2010 by Karen

VIDEO: John Mayer continues to apologize for his use offensive racial slurs. Now, when will he start apologizing for his music?

As though “Your Body is a Wonderland” soft-pop singer John Mayer isn’t annoying enough in his day-to-day activities—dating ditzy starlets, releasing awful albums, posing for Rolling Stone topless, in his gross sweatpants, etc., etc.,—the inexplicably popular guitar mangler/TMZ collaborator is causing a genuine controversy thanks to a racial slur he unleashed during an interview.

Fittingly, the interview was in a magazine known for its attention-getting, um, articles: Playboy.

Mayer’s offense came while he was commenting on his Continue reading »

John Mayer’s Music, ’80s Hair, Blog Must Be Stopped!

Published May 9th, 2008 by Karen

Ok, we’ve let this go on for far too long—John Mayer must be stopped!

Seriously, could we ship this guy off to some remote Antarctic region where he will be cut-off from over-eager paparazzi and internet access for his own nonsensical blogging?

In recent months, the adult contemporary singer/guitarist (read: more boring than Matchbox 20) has become a media darling thanks to a string of romances with the likes of Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly and, now, apparently, Jennifer Aniston.

That’s fine and dandy, but we prefer to know as little as possible about the author of “Your Body is a Wonderland” (aka one of the most annoying songs ever written. EVER).

Making matters worse, Mayer has taken up residence in the blog world, using his personal page as a forum to discuss such important topics as why ex-girlfriend Jessica Simpson isn’t as dumb as everyone thinks she is (um, yeah right), and, most recently, his valiant attempt to fulfill his lifelong ambition of having perfectly feathered ‘80s hair a la Michael J. Fox circa Back to the Future. He even encouraged readers to submit poetry about his new retro hair-do.

We thought his music was bad, but it turns out this guy’s blander-than-bland personality may be even worse than his sickeningly sweet ballads (check out the “Daughters” video, if you dare).

Honestly, if the most noteworthy thing about your career is that you just got a silly haircut, maybe you’re doing something wrong? Regardless, this guy is all over TV and magazines, so somebody must be interested in him, we guess…But we’re tired of hearing about him!

So, in addition to making the guitar seem utterly lame, Mayer poised to ignite a trend almost as horrible Rob Thomas albums and faux hawks.

Incidentally, his latest gal pal, Jennifer Aniston, the former Mrs. Brad Pitt, was once renowned for her trendy hair-style, the Friends-era “Rachel” hair-do. She might be able to offer grooming advice, now let’s hope hooks up with someone to offer him musical guidance as well.

What Do You Think?

Is John Mayer cool, or a complete dork?
