Musicians I'd Like To Finance: Great 2008 CDs By Older Women

Brian Fairbanks — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:03:00 GMT

PopMatters has a story today about 2008 being a great year for women in music. And by women, they aren't including 11-year-old Disney pop stars.

However, this is the kind of list that makes you realize it wasn't such a great year for women in music at all...

Heading off the list is the great Sam Phillips, who caught our permanent attention in, of all things, Die Hard With a Vengeance, in which she played the sexiest mute female assassin in the action movie pantheon. Apparently, she's some sort of well-regarded solo artist, as well. (Okay, we knew that-- but aren't you all concerned about the fact that her album is one of the best of the year and you didn't know she had one out?)

Also on the list is perennial favorite and the hottest gray-haired female singer alive, Joan Baez, who did an album this year with Steve Earle. Other runners up: Phoebe Snow, Kathy Mattea, Aimee Mann, and Carlene Carter. Carlene is the daughter of June and stepdaughter of Johnny (Cash, of course.) Aimee Mann got her start in the 80s with 'Til Tuesday and Voices Carry.

What does this mean? In the music business, you can't even get an indie award over the age of 45 if you're a woman who hasn't been big on the scene for many years...

See the full list and reviews at Pop Matters.

Meet 16-Year-Old Missy Quinn and Her £16,000 Wedding Dress

Emily Farris — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:34:00 GMT

For those of you keeping up with the economy, that's about $32,000 U.S. dollars for what looks like an extravagant Slutoween costume.

But if you like the bride, you'll just love the mother of the bride.

Based on this image you might not be so surprised to learn that:

The couple married six days after Missy turned 16 at St Mary’s Catholic Church in Congleton-Cheshire. After the ceremony-guests in feathers and crystals enjoyed champagne and an all-day buffet at the reception. Girls as young as nine showed off bikini tops, high heels and make-up.

Yeah.

Cultural Clusterf*ck: Gossip Girl Meets 30 Rock

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:42:00 GMT

In what will surely finally give 30 Rock the huge ratings boost it deserves, the NBC comedy series has announced a series of high profile guest stars, including Jennifer Aniston and Oprah Winfrey.

But what should really do it for them is this idea for a guest appearance, which is apparently confirmed by the producers...

How about the ladies of Gossip Girl showing up on MILF Island, as sort of "foils" for the MILFS? While that problem won't happen, Blake, Leighton, and possibly other players of uppity snots will show up at Rockefeller Center in some capacity:

Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester have reportedly signed a deal to guest-star on U.S. TV show 30 Rock.
The actresses, who play spoiled students in their hit TV series, will feature in a Gossip Girl-inspired flashback sequence on 30 Rock during main character Liz Lemon's 20-year high school reunion, according to Ew.com.
But fans of the programme will be in for a shock as the sequence will reveal geeky Lemon, who is played by the sitcom's creator Tina Fey, was actually a bullying teenager.

That isn't reall much of a twist-- we've already seen that Liz has a much crazier side that she wants us to believe... but either way, this should be a great third season, don't ya think?

Bryan Christian — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:30:00 GMT

30 Rock's thorougly plausible gag reality show MILF Island has inspired a t-shirt, now available for purchase in the NBC online store. Were it a real show, we'd expect to see this shirt on hipsters, douchebags, and hipster douchebags, but since it's not actually a real show, we're expecting to see it on... Well, those guys. And also possibly us. What does that say?

[Thanks Sarah!]
