It appears that some are not so easily amazed by what Lady GaGa always brings to the table in matters of music and music videos. Famous director and filmmaker Michel Gondry recently commented on the pop star’s work. This is part of what he had to say: “And I don’t see it. Her melodies are very conventional. I remember when my friend and I would argue about Killing Joke. I remember him saying, ‘It’s so great!’ But I said, ‘It’s so conventional! How can you find anything original? It’s just surface!’ I don’t know, maybe the comparison is ridiculous. But the melody was very, very flat. That’s probably why they are famous. But maybe it’s considered high art just because of the way she dresses?” He might’ve hit the nail on the button there… of course it wouldn’t have hurt to mention the “sex is art” philosophy and all of the penis-related complexes, but Michel Gondry seems to be right about Lady GaGa.
And he does so because of her attitude and nothing else. This is what Bret Michaels had to say about Miley Cyrus: “Does she stir shit up? No. What I think that she does is she doesn’t take any shit. I love that about her. I’ve seen it. I’ve seen people come at her, come at me, and we’re both the same. I set them straight. A lot of times when you live in that Hollywood limelight, speaking your piece or doing your thing is organic and more controversial than people trying to be controversial.” Bret Michaels sure does have a point there… doubtless we all remember Miley Cyrus’ twitter episode from a few months back. Some might still wonder if that poor cat ever escaped its horrible fate…
Mark Owen, a member of the band Take That, has come forward late last week and publicly admitted to having up to ten affairs on his wife, Emma Ferguson. The couple has two kids together. I’m starting to think that people are using multiple affairs for publicity now. However, either the singer is attempting to get media attention, Emma has a firm hold on his balls or maybe he actually has remorse because Mark sounds like he really feels terrible about the affairs. He said “It’s about me, my mistakes. Nobody else is to blame. I don’t know how many girls there were in all. Maybe ten. I have been living with the guilt. It has always been there – you carry it around with you. It held me back in my relationship with Emma. I wouldn’t have done any of this if I had my time again. I am halfway through my life now and this, in a way, is a lesson…You realize what you have done when you face up to it and the mistakes you have made… I feel like I have let everyone down.” What do you think?
