Beyonce & beyond
Beyonce recently had a daughter named Blue Ivy and people are still talking about that. Here’s more chat –
i’m going with the flow, haters sink n i’ma float like now n laters
Another person who’s been the subject of heated gossip is Kim Kardashian. It seems like people never get tired of hating on her. Well in times of trouble you stick with what you know and Kim knows Reggie Bush!
Sick individual shit
Taylor Swift managed to pick up a couple of Grammies last night, before they all got snapped up by Adelle. They way that chick had ’em piled up by the armful you’d think they’d been on sale & cheaper by the dozen. While Adelle felt the love, Swifty did respectable, but next year it might come in handy to have Kanye heckle her again or something – just to get the crowd on her side. Maybe he could come up with something really obnoxious this time like “Hey Bugs, time to get the overbite fixed”. After that the crowd will want to beat the crap out of him and that will keep Swifty in sympathy and awards for another year or two. Then maybe she could work up a duet with Rhianna, who might be running out of forward momentum herself by that time. Especially if Riri gets caught with Chris Brown or start getting more tattoos. However if they both gang up on a less popular girl, say like Katey Perry (people liked her when she kissed a girl, not so much when she wanted to kiss Tim Teebow), then they might be able to jerk as much as another 6 months of relevance out of their public images! i’m strange in my brain, but i maintain
Now for some vintage pop culture – People remember Jackie Kennedy as the widow of President John F Kennedy. That was before she went on to marry Aristotle Onassis, become Jackie O, and remind everyone that the 60’s was over by being too rich and too thin. Of course people knew that the 60’s were over when the Beatles broke up. In fact the writing was open the wall when Richard Nixon got elected – & boomers still hold that against him even today. Let the poor man rest OK.
back to the future – fifty years ago tomorrow
So people knew the good times were gone by the many changes in the wind, but going from Camelot to Dynasty helped underscore that point. People weren’t pleased about Jackie’s choice. They way some carried on you’d think that Princess Grace and left Monaco to become a mafia moll or something. They were probably nostalgic for the old days of pill box hats instead of pill overdoses, when Mrs. Kennedy taught the French something about style, and when she and her husband were the smartest handsomest couple you knew even if you didn’t really know them. The faux intimacy of TV helped give people that up close and personal warmth and here’s Mrs Kennedy from an interview that took place 50 yaers ago tomorrow!
