Boy George Released From Jail

Read this over at Towleroad:

Boy George gives a healthy salute after he is released from jail for good behaviour | Mail Online

Boy George beamed with delight as he was released early from prison today.

The Eighties pop star offered a Benny Hill-style salute as he left jail after serving only four months of his 15-month sentence for falsely imprisoning a rent boy.

George, who has fought a long battle against drink and drugs, looked much healthier following his stint behind bars.

He appeared to have lost weight and the heavy bags under his eyes, his complexion was much pinker and he's grown a beard, which is grey but tidily trimmed.

Is Boy George now Bear George?!?! I like it!

Here For The Music - Paula Abdul

Take a listen to Paula Abdul's new song. (h/t Luke)

PAULA ABDUL - Home

According to The Music Mix, this song is a Kylie remake (unreleased track from her "Body Language" album). But we all know that this isn't the first time their musical paths have crossed; Paula co-wrote what many consider to be Kylie's comeback single, "Spinning Around" (probably inspired by the prescription drugs).

Abdul teamed up with her old producer Oliver Lieber for this single. Kudos to Lieber for the fun production.

Cotton Candy - Amanda Lepore

I love the feel of this song! Very fun!

Go Peace Bisquit!

So, Miranda Can Sing.

So, the "Love Shack" video was a fake. She really can sing:

I enjoyed how bad she was!

Some things I learned from the interview:

- Trevor Horn is a total dick. TOTAL DICK!

- Lisa wanted to talk about their relationship publicly while Wendy didn't.

- They were together for 22 years.

- Wendy is now dating a film director.

- They are mothers!

CD Baby: KARINE HANNAH: Karine

Montreal-born Hannah began singing at age 4. In her teens she performed in musical reviews and on local Canadian TV shows. With her powerful, passionate vocal delivery, Grammy-winning producer Jim Steinman heard a demo and called her "the best singer I have heard since Celine Dion." Apparently, the world's best-selling singer agreed: Hannah was invited to perform at Dion's wedding celebration in December 1994, accompanying a 21-piece orchestra directed by David Foster, serenading guests as they were seated for dinner.

Hannah moved to New York in 1998, working with industry legends Diane Warren and Rick Allison as well as Turkish pop superstar Sezen Aksu. Over the next decade, flexing her vocal versatility, she was trademarked at various times as a gospel singer, rock goddess, pop diva and soul songstress.

Happy Birthday, Ein Oso!
