Feb 5 2009Etta James has senior moment, trashes Beyonce, Obama


Etta James had a moment at a Seattle concert last week where she trashed Beyonce for singing a rendition of "At Last" at President Barack Obama's inauguration. Which is odd considering Beyonce recently played Etta in the film Cadillac Records, and the two had a ball at the premiere (above.) NY Daily News reports:

"I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whupped," James told an audience at the Paramount Theatre, sarcastically calling her "The great Beyoncé."
James didn't finish there.
"I can't stand Beyoncé," she spit out on an audio clip posted on Allhiphop.com, adding that Beyoncé "had no business ... singing my song that I been singing forever."

Obviously still perturbed, Etta then insulted Obama even though she initially loved Beyonce's inauguration performance. But, hey, old people: They're adorable ticking time bombs. Right, Grandpa? Put down the knife:

Two weeks ago, James' son told the Daily News his mom, who has suffered health setbacks after gastric bypass surgery, was moved by the performance.
"You know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears?" she asked the audience. "He ain't my President."

For the record, Etta went on to hate several other things that evening including, but not limited to, women, music, black people and irony.

Nov 2 2008Sarah Palin probably shot whoever screens her calls


Two radio DJs from Quebec, who are famous for pulling prank calls, somehow managed to get a hold of Sarah Palin on Saturday and convinced her she was talking to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. And she fucking fell for it. For the record, that is really, no joke, Sarah Palin on the line. Her campaign handlers are obviously pissed but, like idiots, confirmed the interview took place. I would've lied my face off because nobody is listening to this thing and thinking "Oh, yes, let's hand this woman nuclear arm codes. That'll end well." We'll be the only nation in history to perish in an atomic holocaust because The Jerky Boys got through the White House switchboard. Sign me up for that.

Sep 26 2008Britney Spears' new single for your listening 'pleasure'

Britney Spears' new single "Womanizer" debuted today on Z100. I've got the audio for you after the jump and, surprise, it sounds like all her other stuff: processed shit. Now, I'm willing to concede Britney's making steps forward in the looks department, but let's get real, her voice just isn't cut out for the music industry. In fact, I'm pretty sure monotone isn't a key. Sure, I'm no musician, but one time I played Guitar Hero naked, so it's safe to say I know a thing or two. If you're finding yourself unable to argue with that statement, it's because I slapped you silly with my infallible logic. It happens.
