Jay-Z must be drinking. He was recently asked why he was AWOL at the “We are the World” remix thing for Haiti. His response? Get this: “I have a interesting take on that. I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: “We Are the World,” I love it, and I understand the point and think it’s great. But I think “We Are the World” is like “Thriller” to me. I don’t ever wanna see it touched.”
Jigga PUHLEEEEZE. Interesting take huh? You mean a HYPOCRITICAL take. This cat has sampled more classics than iTunes! Isn’t this the guy who routinely samples, slices, dices, and butchers every song he can get his mits on? Correct me if I’m wrong but he has built his empire on other people’s music. Here is a list of samples Jay-Z used (more…)

“[The Haiti earthquake] will play right into Obama’s hands. He’s humanitarian, compassionate. [Obama and his administration] will use [relief efforts] to burnish their, shall we say, ‘credibility’ with the black community — in the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It’s made-to-order for them.” -Rush Limbaugh on his Wednesday show.
Need we say more? No, but we will. No, let’s give the floor to Roger Ebert who wrote an open letter to Limbaugh in recent to his rancid comments: (more…)

Ok, so we are not forensic scientists here at TJ. But do you need to be one to put the pieces of this so-called “inexplicable” yarn together?
Let’s have a look at the timeline: The wife and husband don’t show up for work on Monday, the cops go out to their house and bust in to find a wet spot on the floor with two fans blowing on it. Uh oh! The whole family is missing! But wait, no they’re not! Here comes the husband with his two kids in tow! (more…)

Porn movie title or American Idol coronation song? Unfortunately the latter. Actually, I wanted to make the headline for this blog “kara-dioguardi-stinks-up-american-idol-final-with-horrid-songwriting” but I just couldn’t resist the Michael Scott quip. I can live with the permalink.
I remember seeing a poll on CNN a long time ago where people were asked to vote for the worst song ever. I believe the winner was “These Boots Were Made for Walkin’” by Nancy Sinatra.
