Fri, 12 Mar 2010 06:12:09 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Lady Gaga is at a point in her career where she could put a garbage can on a stick, do the hokey pokey and breathe fire from a canister of Juicy Juice and it would be deemed as "art." With the success of "Bad Romance," she was sitting on the ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/03/12/lady-gagas-telephone/ I love Amy Winehouse. I don't care what anyone says. Though she's somehow narrowly escaped the watchful eye of the ever-badgering news media, Winehouse is still in my music spotlight as she gets me moving, dancing and brushing off my pumps (but not really) every time I listen to her ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/03/11/come-back-amy/ There's not much I can say about the Oscars seeing as I had to "watch" it via live blog. Nothing was too surprising to me, though I'm sure lots of people were shocked that "The Hurt Locker" won over "Avatar." Aside from it being the highest grossing film (OF ALL ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/03/08/the-academy-of-hard-knocks/ Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" was, dare I say, too safe. The movie amalgamates two nonsensical books ("Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through The Looking-Glass"), but only treads the surface of the madness I was hoping Burton would delve into. No, I'm not talking about American MacGee's blood-covered psycho maniac Alice. I'm talking ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/03/05/will-the-real-alice-kingsley-please-stand-up/ I just ordered my 52-issue subscription to Entertainment Weekly, my go-to source for entertainment news, TV updates, pop culture news coverage, etc. It's also a place I'd love to contribute to at some point in my life. So, why did it take me so long to send off the check ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/03/04/its-about-time/ I will not give into the puns on Kim Zolciak having a "Big Mama," but there really is no other way to put this. A lot of buzz has been spreading across the Internet that Kim, from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," is now dating female celebrity DJ Tracy Young. And word ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/03/01/kim-confusion/ Last night, I saw the Ithaca College Music School/Theater Dept. production of "The Little Prince," a two-act opera based on the children's novella of the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exúpery. Tonight, I'm heading downtown to the Kitchen Theatre to review "Speech and Debate," a dark comedy about three teenage misfits ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/02/27/a-weekend-of-theater/ More music video updates, folks. Ke$ha. Blah, Blah, Blah. With a title like that, there's not much room for success. And though she looks pretty cool while flying in the air and pretending to bowl in this video, the song, the product and the overall concept behind it is, well, ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/02/25/blah-blah-blah-blah-bleh/ Rihanna's new video for "Rude Boy" is quite refreshing. It took me back to the '90s, MIA's epileptic-friendly Web site and Ri Ri's Barbados roots. I hadn't heard the track yet, so it was definitely a surprise when I saw that she released a video for it. Then again, she's released ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/02/22/you-say-you-a-rude-boy/ I haven't blogged at all about Tiger Woods and his affairs. And there was a reason. Again, the mainstream news media sensationalized on what was a truly disappointing act by an influential man. Questions like 'What was he wearing to his press conference' and 'Who isn't a mistress of Tiger' were ... http://theithacan.org/blogs/allthatjazz/2010/02/19/tiger-woods/
