WTF?

Can anyone get at the logic of this piece of news?

Michael Jackson's Death Photo in Court

You be the judge.

From the Daily News:

The manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson's personal doctor began Tuesday with a shocking photo of the singer's dead body and an eerie recording his voice slurring through a purported propofol haze.

The prosecution picture projected in the courtroom showed Jackson's lifeless body on a hospital gurney under the powerful heading "Homicide."

The almost incoherent recording, also presented by prosecutors, was retrieved from defendant Dr. Conrad Murray's iPhone with a time stamp of May 10, 2009 - about a month before Jackson died from an overdose of the surgery-strength anesthetic propofol on June 25.

"When people leave this show, when people leave my show, I want them to say, 'I've never seen nothing like this in my life. Go. Go,'" Jackson is heard saying in painfully slow, clearly intoxicated speech.

"I'm taking that money, a million children, children's hospital, the biggest in the world, Michael Jackson's Children's Hospital," the labored voice from beyond the grave continued.

"This voice recording documents Michael Jackson highly under the influence of unknown agents," prosecutor David Walgren told jurors during his opening statement.

"(It documents) Conrad Murray's knowledge of what he is doing to Michael Jackson," Walgren said before hammering the Houston cardiologist for his "extreme deviations" from medical standards.

This is the recording from where the excerpt was taken from:

Commentary on Intelligent Life (in the Universe)

I mean, who would want to? Have you looked at the state of our planet? The amount of dysfunction that's just roaming around freely, chopping the heads off of whoever it thinks should get the axe? The fact that the single most pervasive theme that we've allowed to continue to exist is the need for war, for the means of the supremacy of what? If I were that alien I'd look at this sad world the same way you would look at the woman who loves driving around eating her toilet paper, make a quick zoom to the left and speed the fuck away. Because we're that civilized. Of course. It's in our homes. It's us.

Nicki Minaj's Fried Chicken Necklace

This was what Nicki Minaj looked like when she stepped out on the red carpet in Las Vegas for iheartradio, an event that has no bearing or relevance in my universe:

She looks quite conservative here, and I love the fact that she even went prepared with a chicken wing attached to her necklace. A girl can never get too much protein in her system if the going gets tough and buffets run out of food. Even if that protein is Peptol Bismol pink, it's still enough to carry her and her multiple personalities through the night.

Le Matthew Rush at Folsom

I don't know why I find his face oddly feminine despite it not being so. But oh well, here he is, and here is the source where I found it. Not quite what I needed before going to bed, but it'll do, like a mediocre lay one has just because it's there, it's built, and it's fuckable.

The Age-Old Question

 

I dream of a world where a chicken can cross a road without having it's motivations questioned.

On Facebook's constantly changing interface that stands on the edge of irritating.

So Facebook Decided to Change, Again

I don't know why I bother. I used to post a mile a minute on the site but now with all the complications that's made posting a litmus test in, well... everything, and now I had to go on tonight to find out there's a new version of Facebook that decided to pop up by itself, like the Netflix price upgrade, without my previous knowledge, and make it even more difficult to categorize my lists of people, what posts are too risque, if perhaps this friend I never speak to should have the same privileges of gawking at everything I post with the likes of closer friends with whom I interact on a daily basis. So it's going to come to this: a divorce, or an amicable separation. Or something less drastic. Like a Sabbatical in a gay resort in Ft. Lauderdale, surrounded by a plethora of gym-toned, tanned, horny men waiting for me to arrive to go banzai on me right smack in the pool. Oh, Florida... how I miss you.

Because of course, their changes don't make sense. Just like this sentence.

Wife Has Alzheimer's? Give Her the Heave-Ho! So Says Pat Robertson

Pat Robertson always manages to produce some genuine pearls of wisdom to his audience on the 700 Club, and this is the kind of stuff that really warms my Made in China heart. Today (well, yesterday) he spoke to the Jews and told them that in order to enter that uber-exclusive club Christians call "Heaven" they must convert to - you got it - Christianity. After all, it is a well-known fact Christians hold within their eternally, sin-free hands the emblem of Truth, as you will see with any fervent right-winger. Cue Michele Bachmann, whose beard has successfully cured homosexuals from the sin of man-on-man fucking, and scissoring. Not that she will affirm this; she is, of course, running for President of the United States. Please remember that.

On that same show Robertson took a call from a man whose wife has Alzheimer's. The man has begun to date other women and wanted to know what he should do. It seems that soul-searching wasn't enough; he had to hear it from The Man. Robertson stated that yes, in fact, he should toss her aside and go share his love with every available woman within his grasp, and to Hell with guilt. After all, far be it from a man who still carries within his loins the torch of a seed as-yet un-sown to sit beside a mannequin day and night. And anyway, that babbling, salivating doll does not even remember that voiding her bowels in the right place with closed doors and a bottle of Lysol handy, in case, is paramount of matrimonial bliss. She practically had it coming to her.

I say you go, dude... be a man... make those women swoon and give the mnemonics of your marriage the heave-ho! She won't even know it's happening to her. It's basically a blessing in disguise, and both can have a truly happy ending.

Reflections on September 11, Ten Years Later

There really is not much to say because there is so much to say, so much that has not been disclosed, so much that is pregnant in the air, looking for some resolution. It's been ten years now. I am on the brink of my 41st birthday. I have carefully avoided the television because ten years ago I dove into the news media and heard that awful chirping siren sound that buried itself into my consciousness and took root, becoming the Most Horrifying Sound I will always hear and hate... the sound of impending danger, of unrelenting horror, of something so unimaginable that one could only sit there, transfixed, and stare into it and not even move a muscle. Ten years later, it's still alive... still sentient, the abyss, looking at me as I acknowledge it. Even then, I see light. Hope. Love among the ruins, if you will. That is what I am holding onto.

Kate Winslet Does Elizabeth Taylor

[Source]

Kate Winslet does an amazing transformation as Elizabeth Taylor for a photo shoot and quotes that she doesn't mind if her son is gay.

From the Advocate:

Winslet also discusses the benefit of raising her two children in New York City. "I like being in the city. I like the diversity that my children are exposed to every day," she says. "I love the way their brains work. Joe turns to me the other day and says 'One day I will have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, darling. Which would you prefer?' And I said 'My Love, that would be entirely up to you, and it doesn't make any difference to me.' But that he knows! It's a real privilege. Talk about the best education."

Songbird: Adele

Adele's Someone Like You vaults up the Billboard Hot 100 Chart from no. 19 to the very top fueled by airplay and of course strong sales, as it remains as the top downloaded single of the week on different formats. It's her second number one single following the massive, still uber-played Rolling in the Deep that took a longer time to reach the top but stayed there for a total of 7 weeks.

Another single - Set Fire to the Rain - also jumps up to the number 80 spot and has been a surprise performer on the Dance Club Play charts, reaching the Top 20 ( # 18) just last week.

Little Jackie Wants to be a Star

This is one of the best news I've read all week. This is what it's about, folks. Jackie, a transgender 10 year old, is happier being a girl than a boy. And her parents completely accept her the way she is. If only the world could understand the value of such a watershed moment. I only wish my parents would have accepted me as I were when I needed it the most. You go, Jackie - you show the world your true colors. You've chosen your personal path when others grow up and never see themselves for who they are.

Dev's new single, In the Dark. Pretty catchy.

She's the guest singer for last year's most annoying pop ditty Like a G6 and she just made it into the top 30 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the week ending September 17, 2011. I can see this one burning up the dance-floor - it's that sexy.
