"I'ma have you naked by the end of this song: Janet Jackson, a victim blamed."

I would read the hell out of that.

re: Pink's performance last night: she's so damn awesome. And that song is guaranteed to make me cry every damn time. I am such a sucker.

Smack My Bitch Up has one of the most undeniable beats/hooks EVER. Proof being that I hate hate hate overly repetitive songs (Usher and JT, I'm looking at y'all) but it doesn't even ping me in that song.

It's pretty catchy! I like the Fatboy Slim remix as well.

I have no doubt that Kanye's race, age and music genre comparative to Taylor Swift's all factor into the hullaballoo.

Really? Huh. I never saw it like that. I just saw Kanye being Kanye.

In the reaction?

Well, most of the reaction I saw was the hilarious meme, so I don't know what you're referring to.

If he's a dick to Jay-Z or someone else adult/black/male, it's not even a story. Much less a Whole Thing.

then woman-on-woman violence is no joke either

Violence, period. It's not like it had me standing up and cheering, nor would I have if it had been a woman beating a man. Just that it's not a feminist issue, exactly, if it's not...or maybe it's still a feminist issue if it's a woman being beaten--it's just a different issue.

That having been said, it's a great song to hit shit to.

And that having been said, the Usher and JT I like, I really really like. But I don't have an extensive knowledge of either of their repertoires.

Not to confuse it with the JJ/JT debacle, but I think what Kanye did was, as my mother would say, showing his underpinnings outta doors. I think he deserves pretty much all the mocking and censure he gets. He's a cloddish buffoon, and I laugh that he yammered himself out of a Grammy invite. I just don't think that Taylor Swift deserves that much sympathy. She wasn't scarred.

I wish I could click on that Catherine Tate-ish link.

Thanks, Trudy. I love Pink, too. I saw her crazy circus concert in Australia(well, on TV) She is crazy-flexible...it's kind of fascinating. And, by fascinating,I kind of mean porn. Though I'm not usually into other blondes.ETA: Kanye totally acted like a dick, but they reported it like he puked on her then exposed himself, at which point I felt a little bad for him, despite the etiquette fail. When I actually saw it later, I was caught between "What a tool," and "That's it?!"(Not all that unusual for a Piven fan.)

Taylor Lautner's opening monologue on SNL about Kanyegate was pretty funny. [link]

AND he'll be 18 in a matter of weeks!

Taylor Lautner plays opposite Taylor Swift in Valentine's Day. Modern naming fail.

I've come to learn that Joe has a THING for very tall women of a certain age. His top 3 celebrity crushes are Jane Kaczmarez, Allison Janney, and Felicity Huffman.

He also, it seems, has a crush on Aaron Sorkin and Linwood Boomer, because a lot of the reason we love these women is they've played extremely-well written and verbose characters.
