Disturbia!

Wow. You guys saw the pic in TMZ of Rihanna bashed up? Damn they good! Even the LAPD is calling for information how the picture was leaked out.

Back to the image... What kind of man does this to a woman? Oh I forgot... a wanker like Chris Brown. The man may say he's going for help - but I hope he just gets locked away. What a cowardly bitch act.

Gawd... hope women work it out that it's NEVER ok for a man to hit you - and there's no such thing as out of love ok. I know some of my female friends have been through that... and it's always the same line. Wow... once is too many times for a mistake like this to happen. Hope Rihanna, sets an example of what other women should do - and dump the sorry bastard who ae you a punching bag.

Rihanna - pre-Chris Brown


After being worked over


Despite all that, Rihanna has been reported to say she still loves Chris. Wake up already bitch! Damn! If you can go back to his sorry ass in the end - then you definitely deserve to end up in a bodybag cause that man does NOT respect you if he even lays a finger on you. And get over that BS about how anger management and prayers will sort him out.

Sheesh.

Chris Brown - I hope someone works you over the same way. As a fan of Rihanna - and someone who does respect women in general, you're a lame sad-ass punk.

Tapi kan yang best nya, CLICK HERE and read this bit. This dude has already issued a challenge to step into the ring to see what it's like to face a real opponent. No prizes for guessing whether Chris has the balls to deal with someone who doesn't wear a skirt at least that we know of).

Geramnya tengok the pic!... The bruises and stuff looks bad enough. But her expression just says it all. Sedih sangat tengok. Damn you Chris Brown!


PS - I think I'm going to be right about refunds for the concert in Kuala Lumpur - either that or it's going to take quite some time

LIVE!

Ok so I know I used a crappy blog poll service because it kept disappearing when I wanted to check the results. But anyway, here's what eventually the poll looked like. Thanks to the 101 of you who bothered to vote.



Looks like The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour is a favourite followed by Coldplay's Viva la Vida Tour and the Beyonce I Am... Tour. Following is Sticky & Sweet Tour by Madonna and a tie for fifth place for Katy Perry's Hello Katy Tour and Metallica's World Magnetic Tour,

Now... keep praying that I have good news coming soon. Thanks also to everyone for the extra suggestions you guys made. I will take it all into consideration.

Meanwhile, if korang leh suggest lagik kalao sudi.... which sporting legends would you like to see here?

I mean... think David Beckham making an appearance with Victoria, or Tiger Woods and so on.

Or what kind of musicals you want brought down here. Me prefer if the London cast of Phantom of the Opera could have a run here. But what do you think.

Anyway, back to the issue of concerts, yeap, Coldplay is NOT in the list for Sunburst KL 2009. While it was rumoured that the band would make the line up for the festival, Pineapple Concerts has issues the artistes involved and memang Coldplay takde.

But then again, I suppose you can keep hoping that they still will be a last minute inclusion... but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

After all, Pineapple has the whole Rihanna postponement to deal with, and they'll only find out later this month whether the show will indeed go on here in Kuala Lumpur.

Seeing as to how things are going - I have a feeling refunds just may be in order soon. Kalao tak pon, lambat gila la baru menjadik sebab tak mungkin kot Rihanna nya show will take place so fast.

But, for those of you yang interested nak attend Sunburst, tickets are still available.

They had an early bird promotion which has pre-sale tickets priced at RM143 but with that offer over, pre sale tickets are now priced at RM203, while tickets sold at the door on show-day will cost RM253.

Sunburst KL 2009 have live performances across six stages.

There'll be the Sun & Sky Stage which will be the main platform for the international headliners and established local acts, while a massive indoor marquee will house the Livesounds Stage and Tuborg Loud & Clear Stage, showcasting the best local and regional acts in what they describe as a more intimate setting.

The Speedzone Interactive Tour will feature Formula 1 and Moto GP simulators within a futuristic club feel environment with deejays pumping out tunes.

My favourite would be the Silent Disco Arena which makes its first appearance at Sunburst. No speakers or anything will be there. Just 300 pairs of wireless headphones available piping in club tunes. Awesome!

Aku malas nak gi Sunburst kot, sebab tak impressed langsung with the line-up. But see if any of your fave acts ada, and kalao nak, my advice is get your tickets fast. Here are those who will be performing at Sunburst - confirmed so far.



More concert news. I hear from reliable sources there will be two more concerts coming your way being planned right now.

First up - fans of Ne-Yo can be happy because word is he'll be here as part of the Year of the Gentleman tour.



Also coming down here for a concert apparently is Mandy Moore.



Scheduled to release her latest album Amanda Leigh in May, Miss Amanda aka Mandy of course was in the news baru-baru ni cause she just hot engaged to Ryan Adams.

Away from concert news and info.

Malam tadi gi Actor's Studio with Faz, and joined by Cheryl and Segar to catch a stand up comedy act. Erm... I want my RM35 back. It was like the dude was bad or anything. Just not so funny.

Lepak and chilled and talked about Anugerah Bintang Popular 2008/2009 sebab joined by Zubir. Some of the pencalonan mengarut gila. Tak kisah la Faz tak dapat. Da bukan rezeki dia. But kelakarnya some of the names dalam senarai seriously weird! I mean... Nurul Alis (aku rasa dari RTM) in the list and not Sarimah Ibrahim for the Pengacara Wanita Popular? You're kidding right?

Heh... kira cam tahun lepas la tetiba Bard R1 yang orang tak penah dengar lagu, leh tercalon dalam kategori Penyanyi Baru Popular or whatever. So not even worth republishing the list here.

Am tired lor. Need rest. I just been back and now catchig up on the last episode of Heroes (which will only begin airing on Star on March 5... SODIHHH!!!) as well as Idol (die Tatiana!!)

Be updating later...

Video day

Arghhh! Think I'm suffering from retinal burn for staring into my laptop for so long.

Tried to get work done, and deviated a little to spend a whole load of time watching the 2008 American Music Awards. Not that the results really mattered.

Who cares about Chris Brown or Miley Cyrus? Buckets of puke ahoy! Anyone who thinks those two names are better than Alicia Keys or any of the other nominated acts, are really whacked. I mean Coldplay loses out to Brown for Artist of the Year? You've got to be joking right? Anyone's better than him...

Consolation was his girlfriend, Rihanna, won categories for the women, after fighting tooth and nail.For the second year, winners were determined by online voting. They used to be decided by a poll of 20,000 music buyers, now it's online voting to get more people to watch and apparently it's worked with a total of 11.8 million viewers for the 2008 AMAs, up from 10.9 million the year before.

While the awards ceremony itself was so-so, it was the performances that made the show worth watching. Again forget the likes of Miley or New Kids On The Block who recycled their same crap from a decade ago.

Most soulful performance would have to go to Alicia Keys, who was joined along by Queen Latifah and Kathleen Battle for Superwoman. Undoubtedly, Superwoman, and the live rendition of it, justified why she won both for both the Pop/Rock and Soul/RB album categories.



The performance that seemed to work up the crowd though was Christina Aguilera's for a non stop mix that opened with Keeps Gettin' Before it moved on to a medley of her past hits. So she wasn't in top vocal form, but considering she pulled out the stops in her performance with Genie In A Bottle, Dirrrty, Ain't No Other Man and Fighter, it was a pretty damn good performance.



Visually (not vocally - as expected, but who cares) was the PussyCat Dolls performance of I Hate This Part and When I Grow Up.

Vocally superb but boring as hell for bringing the performance style of the Nineties into the end of the first decade of the millenium was Mariah Carey who won an honorary award that night.



Best performance of the night I suppose however would go to Beyonce for All The Single Ladies.



By the way, did you catch the Saturday Nite Live - Justin Timberlake parody of Beyonce's video? Yes, we're talking JT in tights and heels! Can't find the full version, but this one on Youtube is spliced with the original music video in the mix.



Anyhoo, back to Rihanna. I loved her outfit during her performance. It was so.. ernm.. spiky!!! She'd taken off the neck piece in the pic, but watch the video performance of Rehab.

On the subject of Rihanna, she's now the face of Gucci! Rihanna is nowpromoting its new Tattoo Heart Collection, which will see 25 per cent of every purchase go towards UNICEF.
Watch the ad below.

Now got to get back to work....

By the way, my song of the moment is Beyonce's If I Were A Boy, which I guess the 'if' doesn't apply to me, last time I checked. Matilah kau... but lyrics dia memang best gila. Enjoy.. and be posting tomorrow...

Dragonfire!

Didn't do much the last couple of days. Needed to get out of this deep blue funk I'm in. Thankful to those who pulled me through it. You know who you are. Even though I may have pushed you away. These people are always my strength in times when things seem gloomiest.

Love all of you.

Anyway, smalam gi event bodoh. Initially supposed to gi makan malam with Sarimah and her hubby and bro. Tapi last last naik jap event bangang yang buang masa kat Ruums. Nangis jap. It was a typical berangan and boring event. Give me strength... yawn!

Dinner after that was more interesting.

Me had the Dragonfire chicken! Tapi initially masa sampai order aku, Sarimah lak kata sedap, aku pass dia share ngan Andrew. Al kisahnya when I placed another order and it came, veggie choice dia da berubah. Tetiba jadik brocolli - the worst green ever!

Sans brocolli!


Invaded!

Dig that. They seemed to have just dumped the whole lot of brocolli on my plate camtuh jer. Yuck! Everything else was fine though. Had a relaxed and fun night. So felt a little better today.

Oh anyway, been dying to share a little news with you guys. Heard from a little birdie that... RIHANNA IS COMING TO KUALA LUMPUR!

Tunggu confirmation, but word is, she will indeed be heading to our shores.

I last met Rihanna in Bangkok in October 2006 when she opened for Jay-Z's tour.

Sebelum zaman Umbrella and Please Don't Stop The Music aku da gilakan dia da because of Pon De Replay.

She is absolutely gorgeous in person, and I think she has gotten more chic since those days. Am so looking forward to meeting her again.
I have no further news on the exact date, because all I can say is at the moment, they still finalising the details - and hopefully some local authority won't have a gerbil up his ass about her performing.

Her performance the last time about wasn't the best vocal show, but she was just mesmerising to watch. Hey! I can deal with that! I already have the CD! I just wanna watch her stut it live again.
Dulu pun aku tengok show dia masa dia open for Jay'z Block party tour where she did about half a dozen songs je.

So wanna see her perform Disturbia live!

So keep coming back here for more info. Will let you guys know the confirmation of the KL date of Rihanna's show as soon as I get more info, ok.

Oh by the way, yes, people, I have finally succumbed to Facebook. Yes, it is my account. And no please do not add me on Facebook - UNLESS you are someone from the entertainment industry.
My for me is a place where entertainment journalists, artists and other people in the industry and such can get together and just let their hair down. Aku bukan sombong tanak add, sebab banyak requests aku ignore so far.

But please, if you have to add me, do it on Myspace. Ok. Yang aku tak paham ada yang add aku kat Myspace nak add aku gak kat Facebook padahal kat Myspace pun stakat mengisi ruang kosong Friends list je.

Sorry again. No offence meant, but don't add me on Facebook.

Ok gotte run. Ciao.


PS - Ni semua salah Bam Samsons. Dia nya pasal la aku kena activate Facebook aku. Mencik! Heh!
