Usher Makes A New Sex Song - R&B Gets Born
Don’t know if you have realised… but Usher hasn’t made a better sex song since Nice & Slow in his career. His 1998 follow-up jam to Number 1 hit You Make Me Wanna… is nice and also slow but the title is actually a sexy double-entendre for Usher’s favourite hobby, which he is on the verge of doing throughout the song. Typical of the R&B music of that era, the song is real “getting it on”...

Claire Danes Has Finally Made It.
I know it’s risky to put your reputation on the line but I’m going to go extremely early on this and say that Claire Danes will be a star. Who knows if she’s won a Golden Globe for her role in Homeland (I do)? Who can say if there’s a deluge of American critical acclaim for her acting chops thus far (I can)? Her new series Homeland could bomb here (it won’t). It’s bold and career-risking for me to...

The Strange Case Of Diddy's Migraine
“The D, the I, the D, the Diddy, the Y, the Diddy, the… OH MY LORD MY FUCKING EYE JEEZ WOT’S GOING ON?”… I was cruising the bus home on Monday night, scrolling through Twitter and checking out the news (TMZ), when I was struck with a sudden urge to helicopter Migralieve to Hollywood: Diddy was having a migraine. A MIGRAINE! The migraine was so extreme he was HOSPITALISED. Shut the front door....

Skins… WTF?
WTF Skins. If Monday’s episode is anything to go by, according to your (loose) moral code these are the steps that lead to you getting raped by your boyfriend:
Find a dodgy guy on holiday in Morocco (a 16-year-old holidaying in Morocco?) who happens to live round your area back in Bristol (two 16-year-olds holidaying in Morocco?)
Don’t get any tangible information about how to ever find said guy...

Chris Brown is a bad version of Bobby Brown who is...
Chris Brown has in the past two weeks won a Grammy, performed at the Grammys, potentially gotten back together with Rihanna, collaborated with Rihanna on record, and sang “Girl I wanna fuck you right now/Been a long time I been missing your body” on said record for the world to hear on repeat forever more, thereby doing a “kerching” on domestic violence. Da...

L U V Whitney
I don’t make a habit of blogging when a famous dies. The internet is always awash with a million obituaries, the televisions sigh relief that they finally get to air that too often pre-prepared VT on loop for 12 hours; the grief becomes overwhelmingly public. From the “Whitney was my hero” and the “I listened to Whitney growing up” to the “what a waste of a unique talent” and the hysterical “WHY...

Only just seen this. Powerful stuff from Mic Wright. The more you work for free, the less you get thanked, the less likely it is you will ever get remunerated and the longer it will take you to gain the recognition and kudos you deserve. Also you’ll never get laid.

L U V M.I.A.
I think I might fancy M.I.A. a bit now. It’s very confusing. My gay friend growing up once described me as “the most straight person I know”; my type is man-shaped and not much more specific than that. For instance, I went to see Michael Fassbender bang his way about New York like a wank-crazed Patrick Bateman in Shame last weekend solely because I wanted to see his massive shlong. We can...

When I Met Sleigh Bells…
I LOVE SLEIGH BELLS. AND SLEIGH BELLS LOVE ME (I hope).
Q: Treats was a really energetic album. Your sound is still massive on the second album, Reign Of Terror, but it sounds more contained. Did you decide to turn the volume down a bit?
Derek: Awesome, thank you! Sure… not necessarily. I’ve been saying more and more… it’s not that we try not to make decisions, I don’t necessarily have a lot...
