The Fray go “Heartless” for Kanye West

Thanks to Kanye West for passing this along. Here’s a great song, that just may have been better off being performed by a group like The Fray. It’s painful, soulful, and goes right for the…well, heart. Maroon 5 who may be considered to be on the same block as these guys also do some great covers, but there’s nothing like hearing one while the original is still hot. It reminds me of Ike and Tina doing Get Back or Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles while the Beatles were still around. Grab a pic of the one that broke your heart and hit play.

Princess Leia *hearts* the Masturbating Bear!

Late Night with Conan O’Brien is in its final string of shows preparing for its trip to the west coast to take over The Tonight Show, and it’s been a great opportunity to see some of his bits and sketches that I missed throughout the years. After almost 16 years that he’s been doing the show, I have to say that without a doubt, one of my favorite characters has been the Masturbating Bear. It’s simple, childishly perverted, and utterly hysterical. I can’t think of a better way for LNCOB to have possibly put this character to rest. I think it did the character justice, and like something you can’t get enough of, the possibility of it always coming back.

Maxim follows Eliza Dushku to the “Dollhouse”

It’s been hard to keep up with ED (Eliza Dushku, not erectile dysfunction) these days as she’s been flying through all the media outlets trying create some buzz about her new show on Fox, Dollhouse. I don’t watch the talk shows that much, but I still managed to catch her on Regis & Kelly and on Conan, where she looked HAWT. The show is about an organization that brainwashes people to serve other people in just about any way necessary be it romantic or otherwise. Think about it as Men in Black meets The Bourne Identity. It’s sounds like a goofy plot for a show, especially when starring ED, but with Joss Whedon (Buffy, The Vampire Slayer) driving the bus, it may certainly be worth watching… even if it is with the mute button on.

Did a Sanrio store explode?

………………or did Katy Perry rob Mariah Carey of all her Hello Kitty trinkets?  I really can’t imagine anyone who would suggest that this outfit was a good idea.  Check out what the “I kissed a girl” singer decided to wear to the Brit Awards today.

perrybrit2I will forgive her this time because I heard she was ill, puking backstage after winning the award for Best International Female!  Wait shouldn’t it be us puking??

Is Charlotte hooking up with Mr. Big?

Is Charlotte York messing around with Mr. Big?

No!  Actress Kristin Davis and her Sex and the City co-star Chris Noth attended the 11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills last night.

An Entertainment Tonight reporter asked the very stylist star if she shops at Walmart and Target and I swear she looks like she was quasi annoyed by the question! She does take the opportunity to promote her clothing line “The Kristen Davis Collection” sold exclusively at Belk.

Kristen just finished wrapping up her latest flick, Couples Retreat which will hit theaters October 9th. You can check out Chris Noth in the upcoming film entitled, The One & Only later this year.

Duffy’s first time is a 3-some!

Welsh singer Duffy has scored a Brit Awards hat-trick, picking up three prizes including the coveted statue for best British album.

The 24-year-old fought back tears as she accepted the award, saying it was the result of “five years’ work”.

Duffy was also named best British female and won the British breakthrough award at the ceremony in west London.

For some reason, I’m one of the few that’s not really impressed by Duffy, but it might be time to give her a second look. In other news, Coldplay GOT SNUBBED! But that’s a whole other post…
