Did You Hear? :: In her cover interview with The Advocate , Pink discusses her sexuality ("I've never defined myself...And fuck it, if you can’t understand it, I'm a mystery bag") and her old hard-partying ways. "I was like a club kid. I was a little candy raver," she tells the magazine. "There was a lot of ecstasy. And as far as I'm concerned, when you're on ecstasy there's no such thing as definable sexuality." [ The Advocate ] :: Sweden is opening [...]

The SHAKIRA and the Gerard are having a baby and by that I don't mean spit-roasting a gay lover. As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby! At this time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days. This means I will not be able to be a part of the [...]
Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- LOS ANGELES - The prospects for pant-less days and bedazzled outfits on "The Voice" just diminished significantly: NBC announced Monday that Shakira and Usher will join the show's judges panel in the spring, filling in for pant-fearing Christina Aguilera and sequin-loving Cee Lo Green. The move will allow the veteran judges some breathing room as they embark on other projects. Aguilera is releasing a new album and going on tour. Green is working on new...

Yesterday, when I heard that Usher and Shakira will be replacing Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green as judges for the fourth cycle of The Voice , which will air next year, my first thought was this: Now that's how you pick two new judges for a singing competition! They're both hot (physically and professionally -- along with Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, they will make up the comeliest quartet in prime time), experienced, and most importantly, talented. In fact, although The Voice has yet to produce a single singing [...]

Christina Aguilera recently hinted that she needed some time away from The Voice to "be an artist again" (read: promote new album Lotus ), and then Us Weekly reported that NBC was in talks for replacements for Aguilera and fellow coach Cee Lo Green . Not to be outdone by Idol 's shake-up, today (September 18) NBC confirmed that the two stars would be departing the singing competition. But don't panic, Voice fans, [...]

Yesterday was the SHAKIRA 's father's bday, so in the name of daddy loving the she-popper shared a video where the duo record a version of HAY AMORES . I've had it starred on me Google Reader, but only got around to viewing today and it's got me feeling she should return to this. So cute. And I so had a glass of white for lunch, in the sun, outdoors of me local pub.

When it comes to music videos that make a lasting impression, one rule always holds fast and true: the scarier the better! After all, the most popular, influential, and widely-copied video of all time was a special-effects-laden, big-budget homage to Z-grade horror movies that changed music television (remember that?) and pop music forever. And what's not to love about a visual that gives you a cracking tune, a hot beat and a few good jolts by way of a disgustingly made-up cast of zombie dancers? In the wake of that groundbreaking clip, which is our first pick below, [...]

Quasi tutti sanno che in "Drunk On Love" di Rihanna c'è il campione di "Intro", prima traccia contenuta nell'omonimo debutto dei The xx . Così come è nota la cover di "Islands" registrata da Shakira. Le due cose hanno in parte contribuito a far conoscere la band anche al di fuori del circuito indipendente (dove avevano mietuto comunque enormi successi), ma la verità è che il sogno segreto del trio è un altro... Beyoncé. Proprio lei. Oliver Sim vorrebbe scriverle una canzone . "Sarebbe un sogno", ha dichiarato ai microfoni di "Q" e ha aggiunto: [...]

It's the end of the baseball season and things are tightening up in division races. It makes sense because my Colorado Rockies are starting to play as if they were in contention for a wild card berth. Mathematically, it's still a possibility, and the Rockies are taking a note out of one of my favorite 802s movies, "Goonies never die." After being left for dead, the team has resurrected by an absurd 75 pitch count for starters, a piggy back rotation that involves a mess of middle relief pitchers and a couple of serviceable closers. The young [...]

E quando l'estate finisce porta con se una ventata d'aria fresca nel panorama musicale. Novità, anticipazioni e graditi ritorni si affacciano nella conclusione della calda stagione. Ed è così che dopo la preview del nuovo singolo di Christina Aguilera spunta fuori quella di "I Dare You", nuovo primo singolo di Shakira . Qui in alto il contributo audio per sentirla. Da questa anticipazione notiamo che la cantante non ha ceduto a spinte truzze: la canzone ha uno squisito retrogusto arabo che richiama alla mente le ambientazioni di un suo vecchio successo come " Ojos Así [...]
