Burlesque

There is a (real) old joke about a well-over-the-hill burlesque dancer whose audience was not shouting, "take it off," but rather "put it on!" I have similar feelings about the latest Miley Cyrus attempt to stay in the media spotlight by showing more of her naked body to her tween fans. I saw this link on the Daily Caller ... Miley's Most NSFW Shoot Yet Photos ... and, although I offer it here, could not find the stomach to actually view it.

I hope you feel the same way ... PUT IT ON!

Out of Outrage

It seems that pop stars like Madonna, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga have hyped the sales of their songs and concerts with outrageous stunts and cross-culture controversy ... simulated sex, twerking, screwy costumes, breaking all sorts of social norms, and anything else that the twisted creative minds of these poop stars' posses could invent. However, it now seems that the well of creative outrage is drying up because Madonna's latest performance album, "Rebel Heart" has hit the wall ... its lead single "Living for Love" only ranks 529th on the amizon.com popularity charts ... despite some silly promotional shenanigans such as unauthorized "leaks" ... see: Showbiz 411 Story.

I guess that eventually a manipulated public wises up ... either through boredom or maturation. Whereas old pop stars, since their singing is usually only marginal, fade from view when they run out of ways to be outrageous. How wonderfully quaint!

Alright … maybe not the last one.

Kim Jong None

Kim Jong-un and his now-perforated former lover

The despotic leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un has apparently been reading up on his English history … particularly regarding Henry VIII’s way of dumping females who displeased him.  It seems that this pasty-faced roly-poly ... having decided to erase his former lover and her musical posse … had all twelve of them shot (supposedly for pornography) in a machine-gun firing squad over a week ago (see: UK Telegraph Story).

Miley Cyrus with an itch

Travel tip for Miley Cyrus, Madonna and Lady Gaga – North Korea may not be the ideal place to perform your on-stage attempts to out-gutter one another … particularly if Kim Jong-un is in attendance.
