Let us all be honest. Season three of True Blood was sub par. It started out strong, but it fizzled out by the finale. I am hoping that Alan Ball has stepped it up for season four. He has no reason not to. Book four in the Sookie Stackhouse series, Dead To The World is one of my favorites. He has good source material this season.

That's My Song: Jessie J, "Price Tag"
I am not a music snob. I like all kinds of music as long as it is has quality. There is such a thing as quality pop, and Jessie J makes quality pop music. As a solo artist she's relatively new, but she just won the Critics Choice Award at the 2011 Brit Award. It's a big deal. Previous winners include: Florence + The Machine, Ellie Goulding, and Adele. She also won BBC's Sound Of 2011 award. Previous Sound Of... award winners include: 50 Cent, Keane, The Bravery, Corrine Bailey Rae, Mika, Adele, Little Boots, and Ellie Goulding. She's fierce, and I really dig her sound. Price Tag is her second single and it features B.O.B. Jessie J will make her US television debut on Saturday Night Live, March 26th.
Willow Smith "21st Century Girl" Leaks
Willow Smith's follow up to her hit single Whip My Hair is called 21st Century Girl and today it leaked. For what it's worth, I really dig it. It's catchy, age appropriate, and fun.
What In Gynaecological Hell! Lady Gaga's New Video For "Born This Way"
Today Lady Gaga debuted her video for her single Born This Way, and I'm pretty sure I need intense electro-convulsive therapy to wipe my memory clean of ever seeing it. Losing site of your target audience is just bad business. Did Lady Gaga forget that the majority of her fans are homosexual men? Did she take a boot to the head? She must have! Why else would she make a video of cosmic vagina's giving birth to aliens? Why would she have her dancers writhing in what looks to be a heap of afterbirth? I am perplexed, and not in the good way.
When the Bad Romance video debuted I thought Lady Gaga had avoided jumping the shark by becoming the shark, but obviously I was wrong. Bitch jumped the shark and her ass done got bit.

Red-Band Trailer For Cameron Diaz's New Movie "Bad Teacher"
I can't wait for Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake to start doing press for this movie. You know they are going to get asked a million times if it was awkward to work together after their break up. I look forward to the bitch faces that will occur.

On My To Do List: Commission An Angry Birds Cake For My Birthday
This Angry Birds cake is the epitome of awesome.
Target Makes Deal With Lady Gaga To Stop Funding Anti-Gay Groups
Gaga can steal as many Madonna songs as she wants as long as she continues to use her powers for good!
Lady Gaga has made a deal with Target to release an exclusive special edition of her new single Born This Way, and in return the department store agreed to stop funding discriminatory anti-LGBT groups.
The company has in the past donated considerable sums to organisations that support those who discriminate or even advocate death and violence to gays. Now Lady Gaga has forced the retail chain to “make amends” and donate to gay rights groups.
Although the chief executive of Target, Gregg Steinhafel, apologised for the donation, the company has donated to other right wing candidates with anti-gay records. Target does pay benefits to same sex partners of employees.
Now, following a meeting with Lady Gaga, the company has promised to stop the donations and give to LGBT groups.
“That discussion was one of the most intense conversations I’ve ever had in a business meeting,” Lady Gaga said. “Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they’ve made in the past … our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they’ve made supporting those [antigay] groups.”
The company has committed $500,000 to LGBT community projects, although that is a tiny fraction of the $156 million it donates every year to ‘community efforts’.
“We, as a company, are considering and taking very — it is part of our hearts to care about this issue. It’s who we are. Around this, we’ve established this policy committee because we understand the importance of decisions like this one and we want to be more thoughtful. We said that we’re giving almost half a million dollars already in 2011 because we want to demonstrate our commitment to the LGBT community,” Dustee Tucker Jenkins, vice president of Target told Billboard magazine.
This is awesome. Now I don't have to feel bad about shopping at Target! If only Lady Gaga could make the same deal with Chick Fil A. I really love their chicken sandwiches and sweet tea, but I promised myself I wouldn't patronize them as long as they continued to be homophobic twats.
