Madonna: Take a Bow

I saw this music video for this song and thought it was awesome the way it was filmed and edited.



Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
[there's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around]
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
[one lonely star you don't know who you are]

Chorus:

I've always been in love with you [always with you]
I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
[just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown]
Wish you well, i cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played]
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
[one lonely star and you don't know who you are]

(chorus, repeat)

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye

All the world is a stage [world is a stage]
And everyone has their part [has their part]
But how was i to know which way the story'd go
How was i to know you'd break
[you'd break, you'd break, you'd break]
You'd break my heart

I've always been in love with you
[i've always been in love with you]
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye

(chorus)

Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Say good-bye

I always said I should be a bellydancer

My dance style personality is...Belly Dancing. Are you in touch with your body? Do you have a natural sense of rhythm that comes from within? If so, it seems like you'll enjoy belly dancing. This type of dancing first originated in the Middle East (and is considered a folk dance of that region); however today this very sensual dance is widely practiced all over the world. Read more...

Another summer, another hot song from Sean Paul. Check out the lyrics to Give It Up To Me below. And check out the music video here. That girl and guy dancing together (the one with the flip) are Channing Tatum (Supercross and most recently She's the Man) and Jenna Dewan (Take the Lead) from the movie Step Up due out in August. Check out the movie's MySpace Profile here. And that girl singing with Mr. Dutty Rock himself is songstress Keyshia Cole (I Changed My Mind and I Just Want It To Be Over).

Gallery

I'm always jamming to something -- and at this very moment down to the second I'm jamming to Gallery by Mario Vazquez. He's from the fourth season of American Idol. He's the 'Idol' that left the show for "unknown, personal reasons". In a recent interview I saw, he said he just wanted to go about music on his own terms instead of "American Idol" terms.




God broke the mold,
When he made this one I know
She's breathtaking but so much more
She walks in the room, your loves closed
Making you never want to breathe again
Her boyfriend has got so much dough
So much ice his neck and wrist froze
Is he faithful to her? Hell no
But she chose to be with him, shorty

Tell me is the money worth your soul
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you
And girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a kind
Girl use your mind
Don't be just another dime

Because

I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be,
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
In his gallery

She's so confused
She knows she deserves more
Someone who will love and adore
But his money's hard to ignore
She really doesn't know what to do
Girl it's just a matter of time
Before he finds another more fine
After he's done dulling your shine
You're out the door and he's through with you

Tell me is the money worth your soul
Tell me what's the reason that you hold on,
When you know that dude has a whole wall of 'em just like you
And girl you're just way too fine
Gotta be treated as one of a kind
Girl use your mind
Don't be just another dime

I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
In his gallery

You're a masterpiece
I know that he
Can't appreciate your beauty
Don't let him cheapen you
He don't see you like i do
Beautiful not just for show
Time that someone let you know

I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art

I can't take
Seeing you with him
'Cuz I know exactly what you'll be
In his gallery
It's just not fair
And it's tearing me apart
You're just another priceless work of art
In his gallery
In his gallery

So Damn Beautiful

I heard this song when I was watching the Nip/Tuck Season 1 DVD last week. It's by Polaroid. It's real cool. Check it out.

What do you think of me?
Are you quite proud of this make-believe
Curtain that hangs around everything
You can admire in that girl
She's so.. damn.. beautiful

You will see me rise again
You will feel me fly again
You're so wonderful
I will be there by your side

I see before the race you've run
And jump ahead too far
You're so damn beautiful

I see before the race you've run
And jump ahead too far
You're so damn beautiful

What do you see in me?
Are you quite proud of this make believe
Feeling that hangs around everything
You once admired in that girl
You're so damn beautiful

I will see you rise again
And I will feel you fly again
You're so wonderful
I will be there by your side
You're so wonderful
I will be there by your side

I see before the race you've run
And jump ahead too far
You're so damn beautiful

I see before the race you've run
And jump ahead too far
You're so damn beautiful

What do you think of me?
Are you quite proud of this make-believe
Curtain that hangs around everything
You can admire in that girl
She's so damn beautiful

Sexy Back Part 2

So I happened to be messing around online and came across this scan from Entertainment Weekly.



So I guess we know what the lyrics are after all.

Sexy Back

So as you can see from my previous post JT has a new single debuting in early July - from rumors I've heard look for it on July 7th.

From what I could decipher from a 16-second clip it goes a little like this....

"I'm bringin' sexy back,
Them other boys don't know how to act,
I freak (a specialist/especially) behind your back,
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack"

I'm not sure if he says "a specialist" or "especially"... the clip's not too clear at times... hear it for yourself at timberlakefan.com

JT New Album Info

This comes from a reliable source - justintimberlake.com.

Victory!?!

So after many months of waiting patiently I have found out via an IMDB message board that the hot European-esque guy in Rihanna's Unfaithful video is named Jason Besker. How accurate this is - no clue because I haven't found any info on him yet, but apparently someone on IMDB found out that he's been in "several videos".

Tale of the *It* Girls

"It" Girls Lost It.
By Vanessa Grigoriadis

(nymetro.com)

Whither Chloë Sevigny, indie “It” girl of yore? Samantha Ronson, tomboy D.J.? Shoshanna Lonstein, cheery bikini designer? Nineties “It” girls dressed cute, sang karaoke at Moomba, and wore underwear. They would be nowhere today. A knack for fashion, a touch of talent, famous parents, photographic je ne sais quoi—that’s not enough to be “It.” In 2004, you must walk on the dark side. Your dissolute nature and quality of tragic legend, your promise never to grow up—this must be guaranteed at the outset.
The example par excellence is, of course, the seedy, preening, evanescent Paris Hilton, the most iconic “It” girl since patrician and Pop-scene star Edie Sedgwick. Now, this is not all about Paris—though you know it’s always all about Paris, darling. It’s about Paris’s sister Nicky, she of the 85-day marriage, and co-star Nicole Richie, she of the arrest for heroin possession. It’s about Lindsay Lohan’s father needing half a million to post bail, and Tara Reid’s surgery-scarred breast escaping her dress on the red carpet and her not noticing. It’s about the return of Bijou Phillips doing all the things Bijou does but no longer being called a “wild child”—hacking at someone’s finger with a cigar cutter and assaulting a clubgoer with a dildo apparently no longer cuts it. It might all be bullshit, of course, a cry of the wild manufactured to garner buzz and that lucrative little-known-soft-drink endorsement. One can imagine it’s hard for a hormonal 19-year-old gamine to resist providing a little Maxim-worthy titillation—or, in Paris’s case, a lot of titillation—when it can be spun into dollars by our lowest-common-denominator media machine. So what if the tabloids beat you up a little? Who really cares about Mary-Kate Olsen’s eating disorder—it’s more fun to scoff as she mopes in her bug-eyed glasses and masterful rendition of couture’s take on early-nineties grunge, very the–collection–that–got–Marc–Jacobs–fired–from– Perry Ellis, very “I’m a sad little monkey dressed up in Mommy’s clothes so you can’t see my sad little bag of skin and bones.”
So these girls are crazy. We love it. Such is their power that the very staples of “It”-ness—models and socialities, perhaps you remember them—have been wiped from greater public consciousness. Fashion hasn’t made a name model since Gisele, who shot her first Vogue cover in 1998, nor has Park Avenue produced one perfectly highlighted handbag designer since the millennium. Paris raised the bar. The sex in her (debut) porno is robotic and nonorgasmic, yes, but it’s a lot more graphic than Pamela Anderson’s oeuvre. Nicknamed Star as a toddler, Paris was famous as a teenager on the New York boutique-opening circuit because she dressed like a porn star, for fun, and then she became a porn star, for real, and then she became a star. A big star, lending her name and collecting her checks—perfume, jewelery, Guess, a Planet Hollywood founder’s Club Paris in Vegas. (“Planet Hollywood is hot,” she explained.)
In any case, the story of Paris is not exactly a cautionary tale. Edie Sedgwick—now, Edie is a cautionary tale. The Youthquaker with a taste for black tights and arson became a Warhol superstar and vitamin-shot freak, then Bob Dylan’s muse and LSD aficionado, then heroin addict and electroshock patient. Then she died, from a barbiturate overdose in Santa Barbara at 28. Paris can’t be held to that standard. Still, her talent as an “It” girl can be measured by considering what comes to mind when you imagine her at 50. If you can.

Nick Lachey: Beautiful

I see,
Looking for yourself tonight.
And I know,
Gonna sell your soul under the lights.
And I hear,
The emptiness that echoes in your cries.
Someday,
I'll pray that you finally realize.

Your beautiful,
That's all that I can say.
Unforgettable,
I'm caught in every way.
Don't every let the mirror tell you lies,
Just look at your reflection through my eyes.
Your beautiful.

It seems,
You always keep one foot outside the door.
So sad,
You gotta all but still you long for more.
And you cry,
So desperate for your place among the stars.
But why,
Just searching for what you already are.

Your beautiful,
That's all that I can say.
Unforgettable,
I'm caught in every way.
Don't every let the mirror tell you lies,
Just look at your reflection through my eyes.
Your beautiful.

Feeling your stars are drafted away from me,
Back to the empty place you used to be.
How do I get to you,
To you.......
That's all that I can say.

'Gatsby' Named one of Time Magazine's "All-Time 100 Novels"

No one gives better parties than Jazz Age zillionaire Jay Gatsby. No one has a bigger house or a bigger pool, or drives a longer, sleeker, more opulent automobile. His silk shirts alone—"shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple green and lavender and faint orange with monograms of Indian blue"—can and do reduce women to tears. But who is he? Where does he come from, where did he make his megabucks, and why—his sober, straight-arrow neighbor (and narrator) Nick wonders—does he stand on his dock at night and stretch out his arms to a green light shining across the bay from his magnificent mansion? The Great Gatsby lays bare the empty, tragic heart of the self-made man. It's not only a page-turner and a heartbreaker, it's one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written.—L.G.


From the TIME Archive:
"Still the brightest boy in the class, Scott Fitzgerald holds up his hand"

Gatsby's Original Review

May 11, 1925
THE GREAT GATSBY—F. Scott Fitzgerald—Scribner—($2.00). Still the brightest boy in the class, Scott Fitzgerald holds up his hand. It is noticed that his literary trousers are longer, less bell-bottomed, but still precious. His recitation concerns Daisy Fay who, drunk as a monkey the night before she married Tom Buchanan, muttered: "Tell 'em all Daisy's chang' her mind." A certain penniless Navy lieutenant was believed to be swimming out of her emotional past. They gave her a cold bath, she married Buchanan, settled expensively at West Egg, L. I., where soon appeared one lonely, sinister Gatsby, with mounds of mysterious gold, ginny habits and a marked influence on Daisy. He was the lieutenant, of course, still swimming. That he never landed was due to Daisy's baffled withdrawal to the fleshly, marital mainland. Due also to Buchanan's disclosure that the mounds of gold were ill-got. Nonetheless, Yegg Gatsby remained Daisy's incorruptible dream, unpleasantly removed in person toward the close of the book by an accessory in oil-smeared dungarees.
===============================================
Notice that The Great Gatsby was $2 back then. I totally bought a copy of the book at my library for an eighth of that (that's 25 cents for those of you who couldn't do the math).

From the "Edie" to the "Diva"

How I Write a Speech

Pink: Stop Falling

[Chorus:]
I ain't lookin for a steady thing
I ain't lookin for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still lookin for some better days
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away

Don't assume cuz I'm a woman
That I'll fall in love
Don't expect I'm young and need to be took care of
Don't wanna hear you got what I need
Cuz how would you know before we speak
You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
You've gotta take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
Cuz I get a feeling I won't let it start

[Repeat Chorus]

Please believe me
I've been down this road and back again
Learned my lesson and it was that love is not my friend
For the day I put my trust in you
Would be the day I say "I do"
Don't expect me just to open up
Maybe I'm just a little scared
Please don't tell me what you think I wanna hear
Oh baby save it, I've heard it all before
There ain't nothin you could say, whoa, to make me change my ways

[Repeat Chorus]

So stop falling
Stop falling
You know you're falling....for me
Stop falling
Stop falling
Stop falling...for me
You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
Oh baby, take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
I get a feeling I won't let it start

[Repeat Chorus]

Stop falling

Battle of the Babies!

Well it seems that 'Tomkat' isn't the only one who had a baby girl Tuesday. Oddly enough Brooke Shields and her hubby Chris Henchy also welcomed a baby girl.

Here's how the girls weigh in:

TOMKAT
Name - Suri (princess: Hebrew; red rose: Persian)
Weight - 7 lbs, 7 oz
Length - 20 in

SHIELDS-HENCHY
Name - Grier (watchful/guardian: Celtic/Gaelic)
Weight - 7 lbs
Length - 20 in


Well isn't this just the best coincidence ever in the Hollywood Baby Boom.
