Another Way to Love Miss Keys
I’m a die hard Alicia Keys fan, and the fact that she’s been paired up with White Stripes/Raconteurs front man Jack White, one of the most creative musicians in the industry only furthers my appreciation. The reviews for the collaboration haven’t been too impressive, but I dig the track a lot and it’s about time another Bond theme song has received some commercial success (remember Madonna’s “Die Another Day” from 127 years ago?)Check out the video for Aliciack

New Video: Jack White & Alicia Keys, ‘Another Way To Die’
Remember when Amy Winehouse was completely facehoused like every single day almost from like late 2006 or something up until about four minutes ago except for about a half hour at the Grammys this past February? Well one of the consequences of all that crack is that she got dropped from voicing the theme song to the next Bond flick, a gig that instead went to the White Stripes’ Jack White, who composed the song, kicked Meg out from behind the drum kit, pulled in Alicia Keys and called it a duet.

The not inconsiderable number of people who've fantasised about one day seeing Alastair Campbell in a prison cell got their wish last night, though the stay was a lot shorter than they might have wanted. Then again, his brief spell inside may have softened the hostility of his enemies a little, because Campbell was revisiting the site of the worst night of his life, the evening when he suffered a nervous breakdown and was temporarily banged up as a danger to himself and, possibly, others. Since Campbell was

US-FILM Summary (Reuters)
Reuters - In 2007, "Hounddog" went to the Sundance Film Festival carrying a controversy that made it the hottest ticket in town, but it left that January after getting a cold shoulder from film distributors and critics. But now, "Hounddog," starring young Dakota Fanning, is howling again with Friday's debut in U.S. theatres roughly 18 months after its difficult Sundance premiere, and few people are as happy as its writer and director Deborah Kampmeier.

TRUE BLOOD “Sparks Fly Out” (Season 1 Episode 5) Early Review
It seems I always start out my TRUE BLOOD reviews the same way, but what can I say so far True Blood has not disappointed, and so the new episode “Sparks Fly Out,” which airs on Sunday, October 5, at 9pm on HBO, is another great one. While we don’t get that much Sookie and Bill interaction, we do learn a whole lot about Bill’s past and how he became a vampire (so yeah, you probably shouldn’t miss that one). I don’t know if it’s possible, but I love him even more no
