Amy Winehouse's Posthumous Album Tops The Charts In A Bittersweet Occurrence

Amy Winehouse

"Lioness: Hidden Treasures" the posthumous album of singer, Amy Winehouse, who died this past summer at the age of 27 from alcohol poisoning, has topped the charts in her native Britain. It is a bittersweet occurrence. Winehouse is gone to the grave from her own vices, which sadly consumed her and inadvertently negatively influenced other young men and women as well. Hard drugs and hard drinking had become apart of her act.

Winehouse and her contemporaries such as Pete Doherty in Britain, Lil Wayne and Rihanna in America, have set a very negative example for their fans, via drug and alcohol abuse. I'm not trying to knock Amy, as I'd hoped for the best for her, when she tried to dry out in the Caribbean, but I can't help but think she fell victim to the image she promoted. It became expected of her and due to those low expectations the industry placed on her, she wasn't afraid to fail at giving up on those vices.

When Winehouse first started her career with the debut CD "Frank" she was this healthy, pretty looking Jewish girl, who was unequivocally the best mainstream female singer in modern music. But then, like so many before her, she fell in with the wrong people in the entertainment industry and it cost her so much via what was brought into her environment.

Her boyfriend, who then became her husband, introduced her to hard drugs and she also began to drink more. It took a toll on her appearance, as she became gaunt, anorexic and frail, her skin erupted in sores and she began losing her teeth. She became a different person.

Amy strung out on drugs and alcohol was like a completely different person

The drugs and alcohol so took over, she was seen snorting on stage and drinking alcohol during the middle of shows. My advice to those thinking about trying drugs thinking it looks cool or will make them feel good, is do not do it. Remember Amy and what it did to her life. Some of you do not have the make up to be moderate drinkers either, as one small drink will not do and could prove the gateway to a life of alcoholism...or one cut short by it.

Report: Singer Usher Is A Cocaine User

With your nose Usher, you're gonna mess around and overdose

R&B singer, Usher Raymond, 32, who signed teen pop star, Justin Bieber, 17, to a record deal, is in hot water today, as his ex-wife, the vindictive, Tameka Foster Raymond, has filed papers with the court, to strip him of custody of their two children. The couple currently have a joint custody agreement, regarding their sons that Foster alleges Raymond is not upholding.

Years ago the Judiciary Report repeatedly stated Foster is blackmailing Raymond, holding something over his head. At first I thought it was just the bisexual thing, but the latest incendiary reports indicate Raymond is a cocaine user. Previously, I knew of his fondness for weed, but cocaine is another story. That is no joke.

Foster demanded in court papers that Raymond take a drug test and USHER REFUSED. That doesn't look good regarding his sobriety. Dude is running from drug tests like his name is Lindsay Lohan (you really thought I'd do a drug article and not mention Lohan - girlfriend must have a royalty or patent of some kind on cocaine by now - she owns it).

He likes drugs, she likes drinking. Not a good combo.

I am of the belief, Foster, a former fashion stylist, did this out of spite, because Raymond closed her Saks Fifth Avenue credit card, as stated in court papers. Raymond is also making a lot more money since the success of Justin Bieber, which she has not received a cut of in any measure. Unless Foster had a clause in their divorce settlement, stating she is entitled to money from Raymond's future earnings, the judge is under no obligation to revisit his fiancés in this regard. Cases of that nature have failed in Hollywood (Atlanta courts may rule differently - you never know).

Foster is being greedy. This whole palaver is over the Saks Fifth Avenue credit card. She knew all this time that Usher has serious issues with drugs, in addition to mental health problems, now all of a sudden she is concerned about her kids welfare when he is present.

Not to mention, as past incidents have shown, she is more violent than he is, threatening to beat up people in Atlanta that wrote unflattering items about her and keying Raymond's luxury car in Los Angeles, because he began dating another woman after leaving her. If you cared that much you'd force him into rehab using the courts, not employ your kids as pawns to have your Saks Fifth Avenue credit card reinstated.

Sarah Palin Threatens To Sue Author Of Book That Alleged She And Her Husband Take Cocaine

Todd Palin and Sarah Palin

Former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, is threatening to sue author, Joe McGinniss, over the salacious book he has written and released about her entitled, "The Rogue: Searching For The Real Sarah Palin." Palin stated McGinniss may be sued for "Knowingly publishing false statements."

Sarah Palin and beautiful little Trig

The book alleges she and her husband Todd Palin, are wild cocaine users. It also makes disparaging claims about their disabled toddler Trig. Sales of the biography have been bad, leading McGinniss to blame the mainstream press for running with the tawdry bits.

Sarah Palin

McGinniss took the unconventional and creepy step of moving all the way to Alaska, right next door to the Palins, while writing the book, prompting her to state he had a view right into her daughter's bedroom. The Palins erected a privacy fence as a result.

Parabolic Microphone

The danger of such a move to the target is, some have been known to employ the use of a parabolic microphone, which has a range of 300 feet. This enables one to listen to those in the structure next door, in addition to monitoring their comings and goings (Parabolic microphone and Parabolic Mic and Monocular).

The forthcoming Joe McGinniss book, "The Rogue: Searching For The Real Sarah Palin" makes some explosive claims about the former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential Candidate, alleging she did cocaine and marijuana. The book also contains allegations that she cheated on her husband, Todd Palin, with his business partner and was named as such in sealed court documents. The book also accuses Todd Palin of being a cocaine addict.

McGinniss came under fire last year, when he creepily moved next door to Palin in Alaska, while writing the book about her. This prompted her to erect a privacy fence, to keep his prying eyes out. Palin stated he was trying to look inside her daughter's bedroom window. Stalking and voyeurism are crimes under U.S. law. Will this tawdry book result in a lawsuit. Time will tell.

Paris Hilton's Reality Show Is Cancelled

Poor Ratings Cited As The Cause Of Cancellation

Paris Hilton

Hollywood heiress heirhead, Paris Hilton, who was once famous for a deliberately leaked sex tape, is looking into the toilet today and not just because she's probably drunk with a hangover, but due to the fact that's where her careers is sinking at the present moment, circling the bowl like the Ty-D-Bol man.

Her latest reality show "The World According To Paris Hilton" has been unceremoniously cancelled by cable network, Oxygen, for exceptionally poor ratings. The show averaged 400,000 viewers per episode, which once again, is less than a number of pop culture blogs' readership, but at one hundred thousand times the budget. When ratings are that low, it doesn't make sense to even turn on the camera. I'd leave the lens cap on and patronizingly nod at her like the camera was filming.

When infomercials are pulling in higher ratings than you do on television, it's time to give it a rest. That's what Hilton gets for not having a massive, constantly publicized, nouveau riche wedding and butt implants that requires two surgeons to put them in.

It's official, Hilton's time in the spotlight is over. She has become a pop culture relic. Considering the negative influence Hilton's had on young girls, teaching them by example to be n-word issuing, sexually promiscuous, STD transmitting, publicity hungry, pot smoking, coke snorting exhibitionists, this is for the best. With so many gifted people out there, networks need to do better to present more positive images to the public. The talent is out there, but regrettably, it is who you know and whether they can get you on television or radio.
