    well, considering that the guy from Oasis said there should not be rappers at that festival, it brings me great joy to see Jay-z singing their song and playing it on the guitar.

    I thought it was illegal to take upskirt pictures of people. If anyone ever took a picture of my no-no area and posted it on the internet, I would be absolutly devastated. How can the paps get away with that?

    I think at this point that Britney is well aware of the dangers of upskirts. Pants would really be a great answer to that problem, as would staying home. And honestly, who doesn't have a hairy ass crack? It's those long pelitos on her ankles that bug me. Shave, girl! Shave your legs!

    I did not look at these Brit pics because if I wanted to see lumpy nether regions in need of a wax, I am sure that gazing at my own would suffice. That said, it is a little hard to believe that after all the times she has been slammed for flashing her bits, Britney has not yet learned how to exit a car in a PG fashion.

    But it does give me the creeps that some pap has his camera lens up her bum in the first place…

    I've already seen her ladyhole and I am still trying to scrub my brain clean. I'm not going there again.

    Juju, at least she's wearing panties this time. Thank you Jamie Spears.

    And by the way, does anyone else feel the sting of irony in Pam Anderson calling someone else a whore? Hepatitis, say what?!

    Who knew that Mark Ronson had such impeccible manners?

    Mark acts flattered with the Hoff's attention to his talent.

    He acts "stunned", in fact. He is able to redirect by being so super busy that he can't possible accommadate the Hoff's request to record with him.

    The Hoff can't sing. Mark did the right thing with the uptmost tact. I bet his momma is proud.

    The chimpanzee who runs this site needs a bitch slap! Here's the background to Jay-Z singing Wonderwall at Glastonbury:

    On 1 February, 2008 it was announced that Jay-Z will be headlining the 2008 Glastonbury Festival. Oasis' Noel Gallagher blasted the organizers Glastonbury Festival for scheduling Jay-Z as a headliner for the traditionally guitar-driven event: "If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you start to break it then people aren't going to go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go 'Kylie Minogue?' I don't know about it. But I'm not having hip hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong."

    Jay-Z headlining at Glastonbury has been an ongoing story, with artists, promoters and fans weighing in both for and against. Usher has commented saying:
    "It really shocked me that he said that. Jay-Z is an incredible artist and headliner. I saw him perform at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A., and you're not getting better than that. He should give someone else a chance. He needn't have said that and I was disappointed he did."

    Emily Eavis, the organizer of the Glastonbury music festival, said she is honoured that Jay-Z will be headlining the event saying: "He is absolutely the right act for our festival," she said. "There is no reason why we should not have the greatest living hip hop artist on at Glastonbury." Eavis also stated that Jay-Z is far from the first hip hop artist to appear at Glastonbury. The Roots, Cypress Hill, and De La Soul have all performed at the event.

    Recently Jay-Z responded to this controversy saying the following: "We don't play guitars, Noel, but hip hop has put in its work like any other form of music. This headline show is just a natural progression. Rap music is still evolving. From Afrika Bambaataa DJ-ing in the Bronx and Run DMC going platinum, to Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince winning the first rap Grammy, I'm just next in the line. We have to respect each other's genre of music and move forward."

    I think Noel Gallagher is a miserable old git and I'm appalled by his comment about hip hop having no place at Glastonbury, that's actually a thinly disguised racist remark. White synth pop acts (i.e., Pet Shop Boys) have been known to play these kinds of festivals in the past but Noel conveniently forgets to bitch about THOSE guitar-less acts. Gallagher thinks he's rock and roll, but he's just the opposite (i.e., boring, predictable and a control freak). Oasis is a played out, dumbed down and washed out act. I mean, The Beatles are cool but Beatle-wannabes are just embarrassing and that's something Noel and little brother must face everyday. It must be hard for Oasis to stand next to outstanding Brit Pop contemporaries such as Blur, Pulp, James, Manic Street Preachers and The Stone Roses and fall very, very short indeed!
