I'm gonna rant about something that isn't music related..... yet again! Through my work I get lots of magazines which I bring home and put in a nice little wicker basket in my bathroom. The magazines that get placed into the wicker basket first are the issues of Okay Magazine, In Touch and Us Weekly. The New Yorker, Time, Newsweek and In Style usually get placed in that little wicker basket after my roommate and I get done reading them.
Anyway yesterday I had a copy of the latest issue of In Touch that I had taken from my office in my purse, while I was waiting for my friend to join me for dinner I decided to read it. In this latest issue there was a three page spread on the first birthday party of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannilynn. Talk about over the top and tacky and inappropriate!! The theme of the party was a princess party, there was a huge cake that was shaped like a castle that didn't even fit in the house where the party was taking place, there was a princess castle stage, Barney came and the worst is the baby rode in on a horse and carriage!! The kid isn't going to remember this party!! But to me the most awful and inappropriate part of the whole thing was that this Birkhead guy the baby's daddy sold the pictures to In Touch and I'm sure was paid a pretty penny to have "ET" and "The Insider" cover the party. Howard Stern was playing some of the clips from both "The Insider" and "ET" on his show and the clips were just soooooo tacky and wrong!! There was one clip Howard played where "ET" had their cameras on Birkhead and the baby as they watched Anna Nicole video clips, it was cringe worthy for sure!!
I feel really awful for this baby, with Birkhead it seemed like she had a shot at a normal life, but now Birkhead seems to be pimping the kid out to any news outlet that will have them on or take their picture!! After looking at this photo spread I felt so very dirty and like a vampire!

Upcoming interviews and other things..............
Including one with another Honey Brother it maybe Dory, it may be Honey DuContra, it maybe Hoyt.......stay tuned!
I usually try and write about what I know namely music, the story linked below was on one of the celeb blogs that I go on (a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, love Michael K. and Trent) and I was seriously disturbed by it. This 12 year old girl was chosen to be the "Official Ambassador" for Gold Coast fashion week in Australia. There is a picture of the girl in the article and while she is tall (5'7 according to the article) her face looks like that of a 12 year olds, she looks like a tall 12 year old! The Prime Minister of Australia is all up and arms over this and he wants the Australian fashion industry to follow the lead of Europe and ban all models under the age of 18 from the cat walk. The quotes from this girl and her mother are rather scary, the girl says that she should be allowed to model women's clothing cause she fits into women's clothing and the mother is demanding an apology from the Prime Minister and basically thinks all mothers should get their 12 year old daughters to act older! I was a big kid and the only time that I ever wore a ladies size two in my life was when I was 12 and I can remember wanting to dress my age and look like all the other girls who were my age!! There is something so seriously wrong with a 16 year old model walking down the cat walk modeling a dress that was designed for a much older woman, let alone a 12 year old!! If this girl's mother was smart she would wait till the girl is at least 16 and let her model for things that are age appropriate such as a spread in Seventeen or a fashion show for a store like Forever 21!

A person that I was very impressed by this week is Paul Anka. As I've been telling you I made the smartest move ever and got rid of my cable tv and I have been enjoying reading many books and my Sirius satellite radio. It's nice I get home from work and I listen to the replays of that days Howard Stern show and yesterday morning he had Paul Anka on as a guest. For all you kids who don't know Paul Anka was a very famous singer and songwriter back in the 50's, 60's and 70's. He wrote "My Way" for Frank Sinatra and had a huge hit in the early 60's with the song "Lonely Boy" and in the 70's with "Your Having My Baby". Anyway he has a new album out now where he does swing covers of songs by bands like Soundgarden and the Killers, Howard played some tracks and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Anka does a duet of "My Way" with Jon Bon Jovi (who I can't stand) which wasn't so good!! But Paul Anka was very funny and honest and had some really interesting stories to tell Howard about what it was like to work and hang out with people like Elvis and Sinatra. He's in the process of writing a book of which I will read when it comes out. His swing version of the Killer's "Mr. Brightside" was actually pretty cool and I may go and download that!
