Grade-A actor and resident hunk Ryan Gosling has a new career these days as frontman and pianist for the band, Dead Man’s Bones. His deep, throaty voice lends itself to a brooding crooner style (hence the Leonard Cohen reference) and I’m digging G’s moxie in the video. He’s come a long way from the Micky Mouse Club. Then again, so have Brit and Christina A.
So without further adieu, here’s Ryan belting it out with his break-out single, In the Room Where You Sleep.

Now they say Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose. Well, I’m not sure what it means, but regardless, does it help his family and friends that on top of mourning his death had to deal with those ugly suicide assumptions? And what about all those pre-written eulogies which guarantee celebrity’s life summery even before his or her last breath. The media should take a step back not before something bad happens, because it’s already happening. Cynicism is a great defense mechanism when you are 15, but when adults over use it, like in the case of AP and the rest of the gang, it’s a dangerous weapon, a weapon of mass communications.

 Two of our little blog’s favorite subjects are in the news lately.
Amy Winehouse, who’s always in the spotlight, has been nominated for 6 Grammy awards, including one for Album of the year. Despite the wide varity of her recent issues, Amy is eager to perform in the show. One of the singer’s reps told People Magazine, “Amy is thrilled to be nominated for six Grammys and is very much hoping to attend. She is determined to be ready and well for that performance. It’s a really difficult time and she’s been channeling it into her music.”
Jennifer Love Hewitt, who just  recently announced her  engagement to actor Ross McCall is now suffering the wrath of all sorts of gossip websites, and all because of some unflattering pictures of her that appeared on the cover of People Magazine, wearing a bikini … If this new obsession with Love Hewitt’s butt suggests that we’ll hear less about Britney’s, it’s great, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen…

I’m a lover scorned. A meerkat whose mother has been viciously killed by a snake leaving me to make my way thru the wild without any well-trained defenses or line of attack. I’m Rambo without any ammo and Schwarzenegger without the Kennedy connections and steroids that made him.
I’m also fed up with the writers’ strike and feeling pangs of loss that can best be expressed thru the myriad of metaphors above.
And how it could potentially affect my January, no wait my FEBRUARY? That’s right, Lost fans will have to wait till February now to see just where things left off post-Looking Glass. Given that the show’s executive producer is claiming that only 8 shows have been written out of the regular 16, and that the final 8 will tie up all the loose ends presented in the first 8 (and that I happen to LIVE for resolutions), you can understand why the writers’ strike is getting me down.
I can do without Leno and his glib comments to Halle Berry, grimace at Tina Fey as she takes to the picketing stands (she is an executive producer after all) and bands with her fellow starving artists (?), but seeing writer/creator/executive producer Damon Lindelof lament the plight of writers (and himself) not getting their/his share of the moola generated by all the new media around makes me wanna lose the one I’m with and start a new relationship.
We understand fame and new-found fortune is enough to even make a decent man turn to debauchery. But really, how long do the producers at Lost think that they can play with their fanbase before their numbers of viewers start to diminish?

Ok, so we’re all a little tired of the cult of the female pop-rock starlet on self-destruct (w/debris oozing out of their minute coke-clogged pores) but kudos go again this week to Amy Winehouse, who, rather than go the route of most of her predecessors and launch her own perfume line, had her road manager launch a line of whiskey as an homage to Winehouse.
The story goes something like this (some licenses taken with the paraphrasing): Amy gets crabby while on the road and is itching for a hit (either in the form of coke or her husband’s face). She calls her road manager into her van and says, “Yos, whaszup. Where’s me blow.” [insert Ali G-style curses and affectations] Whereupon her manager informs her not only is she out of the powder, but every form of alcohol known to man, woman, and superfreak. Amy, not happy, throws her empty bottle of JD at her manager. Fortunately, it hit the part of his head that’s responsible for extorting more money from his boss. He comes up with a brilliant idea: Market more witch brew, er, um in layman’s terms: Shut up the whiny, overly demanding diva.
To celebrate the launch of this new bourbon, Airborne, Amy was on hand to show her support. Namely do her trademark drunk man’s saunter on and off the stage, mutter profanities and aim some more whiskey bottles into the crowd, all in the name of self-promotion, not to mention brilliant marketing strategy, if I do say so myself…
By ariel in Uncategorized, Entertainment, comedy, Sarah Silverman, Music, TV, media, MTV, celebrity, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Comeback on September 11 2007
  Sarah Silverman will always be remembered as the comedian who aimed high, and went after the strong. The same way she went after Paris Hilton just days before she went to jail. This time it was Britney Spears. While the comeback wannabe singer did a very good job in embarrassing herself on the MTV Music Awards, Sarah Silverman would not let go and kicked her ass. When someone is on his low you either help or stay out, but not our bully Sarah, she will keep on hurting, over and over. We said it in this blog before, Silverman suck big time. And bully Sarah is full of BS.
What can you do, we can’t all be funny, right?
By Beth in Entertainment, Hollywood, TV, Drugs, pop culture, Amaldo.Com, America, reality TV, celebrity, Paris Hilton, gossip, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, DUI on July 24 2007
 While there are certain attributes all pop celeb starlets share: Narcissism; wanton, often reckless, self-destructive behaviour; and director Brett Ratner’s bed, there is also a common adhesive for all of these characteristics: Coke.
Don’t get me wrong. Everyone will be talking about Lindsay Lohan’s latest DUI until this weekend or next week when Paris Hilton gets one or Britney Spears flashes another of her privates (maybe in conjunction with another!), or it’s finally revealed that a washed-up heroin/coked-up anorexic who most likely hasn’t had a regular period since she hit the age of puberty at 10, can’t possibly be fertile. But the point is, who cares? Or more importantly, why do we care?
Well, most likely we’re all part of the self-perpetuating, destructive cycle here. Our interest feeds the machine, and our reinforcement, whether positive or negative, further nourishes it. Anyone who witnesses a newly slim and whacked out Britney Spears on one of her outings can tell this girl is on some serious dope. Same with Lindsay, Kate Bosworth, Keira Knightly, and every other star. Coke is the rage. So why not let these people self-combust once and for all and end our preoccupation?
