I really, really do not enjoy Dancing with the Stars . As someone who relishes her fair share of bad reality TV, not even I can stomach watching a gaggle of washed-up D-listers donning sequins and shimmying to bad music. But here's the thing that kind of saves the show (sometimes): The music isn't actually always so awful. A few examples of ballsy song choices have made the rounds on the Internets, but Kelsey Wallace at Bitch has dug up by far my favorite. Monday night, she watched the show so we didn't have [...]

The Gossip trio, much like a tripod, is held up with much support from self-loving people. Beth is a force of nature that seldom comes and goes, but is a dominant striking power whether it be with the LGBT community, positive body image campaigners, or indie scenesters. It may be over when the fat lady sings, but when the curvy lesbian sings, it's only the beginning of a wide awakening for self-empowerment.
Filed under: News In their continued quest for world domination, Kings of Leon have ventured into the business of high fashion. Following in the footsteps of rockers like Liam Gallagher , Gossip 's Beth Ditto and Scott Weiland , Black Book is reporting that the Nashville-based foursome has teamed with the Paris design team Surface to Air for a limited-edition clothing line, which is set to hit Copenhagen's Paris Texas boutique before the year is out. The Followills -- siblings Caleb, Jared, [...]

Filed under: News , Video , Exclusive While it would indeed be tragic if nobody took Gossip seriously, by the same token, it's okay to laugh with them -- they're not just feminists, they're funny feminists. Just because Beth Ditto has become an unofficial celebrity spokesperson for the LGBT community, and just because her band has certain beliefs that they feel are important to put forth, doesn't mean they can't have fun while doing it. After all, they're not politicians -- they're entertainers. Hence, when they called [...]

Filed under: News , Exclusive Long before she began making headlines of her own, Beth Ditto had a little brush with fame as a kid growing up in Arkansas. The Gossip frontwoman had an odd and unexpected run-in with President Bill Clinton, back when he was still just governor of that state. Ditto explains that she was in the backseat of her family's pick-up truck, headed to a fish fry. "My hair is blowing out, all matted and nasty, there's food all over my face, my dad throws [...]
Gossip is currently on tour, rockin’ the country. Last month, Sara had a chat with guitarist Nathan “Brace” Paine and talked about European radio, queers, fat girls, and their newest release, Music for Men . Sara, PopWreckoning: In an age of music where so many genres are bent and merged, how would YOU classify Gossip ? Nathan Paine, Gossip : God, how would I classify us into a genre? I don’t know, I mean, that’s kind of a hard question. Cuz we enjoy sort [...]
PHOTO CREDIT: Audrey Leon Portland-based soul punks The Gossip brought sexy back to the Metro stage on Friday night. Outfitted in a slinky, glittery black dress with neon red hair Gossip vocalist Beth Ditto captivated the near-capacity audience with her dynamic stage presence and powerhouse vocals. Ditto never once let up, jumping and screaming along to each pulsing dance beat. Her enthusiasm so infectious, those in attendance could not help but go completely wild. The Gossip began the night with “Dimestore Diamond” [...]

Temporary pleasure per chiudere una settimana che potremmo definire movimentata. Bene: ci saranno due o tre post. Probabilmente uno dopo l'altro. Ci saranno pochissime parole ad accompagnare i brani. Chi scrive non può esattamente definirsi ispirato dal cielo in questo momenti, therefore si limiterà a elargire doni venuti dal web. Simian Mobile Disco > Cruel Intentions (feat. Beth [...]
yeah, you can dress like Beth from now on she has a whole collection at Evans I totally luv the domino print leggings but sadly it's all for women
Tonight at 12:30 midnight (a.m.), The Gossip will be featured live from the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC on NPR's All Songs Considered . The group plays live in concert as a feature on the show, which is hosted this week by Carrie Brownstein who's passion it is to convince ASC's Bob Boilen of the group and in particular Beth Ditto's genius. Carrie, from her NPR blog Monitor Mix writes, "Bob claims that Beth Ditto has plenty of swagger, but that she lacks vocal dynamics. I think her strength lies in the way [...]

Ma quanto sono simpatici i personaggi con la testa a forma di palloncino che caratterizzano il nuovo video dei Gossip ? Tantissimo. Di conseguenza la clip si fa ben guardare anche se manca la presenza in prima persona del leader del gruppo, ovvero quella mattacchiona di Beth Ditto che, come ci suggerisce gossipblog , ne combina di tutti i colori giorno dopo giorno. Il nuovo singolo in questione si chiama "Long Love Distance". Il pezzo, che si rifà al solito filone punk/soul a cui il gruppo ci ha abituati, risulta essere molto gradevole anche [...]

Filed under: Video , Movies In a male-dominated industry where many successful women are defined by their physical beauty or ability to auto-tune their way through a pop hit, the Rock 'n Roll Camp for Girls comes as a breath of fresh air. Trashing, shredding and screaming with reckless abandon are welcome and encouraged at the camp, where girls ages 8 to 18 gain self-confidence and learn to appreciate who they are through a unique creative outlet. The documentary 'Girls Rock!' follows a few of the campers as they spend [...]
A couple years ago, Gossip song "Standing In the Way of Control" showed up in a television advertisement for the sexy UK teen drama "Skins," virtually assuring their appeal in Britain. But the Portland-based band's profile in the U.S. since releasing their debut EP in 1999 has been less decidedly less dramatic and it's as if Gossip has something to prove to America with this new record. Music for Men should demonstrate once and for all to their detractors that they're a force to be reckoned with. [...]
