AMY WINEHOUSE - STILL A DIRTY GIRL :(

oh man - i haven't done a full amy winehouse post for a while here on popbytes (the last time was when i was holding a small vigil for her on july 28th) over the past few weeks she's been hiding out in her camden flat - i was hoping she was held up in some kind of healthy cocoon and would emerge a lovely clean butterfly but alas my hopes were dashed when she was spotted out tonight looking like a total wreck...there's not one ounce of improvement! she looks totally dirty - girlfriend needs to take a shower and cut that crappy ass beehive off the top of her head - you guys know how much i love ms. winehouse but enough is enough already - you're looking at a girl who won five grammys this year - its all such a freakin' a shame - i don't know what else to say! popbytes over & out for tonight

later the same evening...amy winehouse ran riot through camden with her god daughter dionne bromfield, and four burly security guards. one of them was hitting photographers, knocking several to the ground. amy was in a bad mood, having been told at a petrol garage they had no playing cards to sell her, and threw a pint glass at a photographer, slapped a passerby in the face and shouted and swore at people in the street (oh good times)

IS KELLY RIPA TOO THIN?

hey hey! besides the drama being featured surrounding mary-kate olsen (her bodyguard is supposedly talking again) on the cover of the latest national enquirer - there's a new skinny alert! this time it's kelly ripa who the magazine claims has dropped to a mere 96lbs (there's plenty of pictures of her below from when she appeared on the late show w/ david letterman on august 5th...decide for yourself) she does look a little on the skinny side of things but she's a tiny lady and doesn't look nearly as thin as nicole richie did two years ago (her weight around that time should be the lowest any should go...) we'll just need to put kelly on our skinny radar and keep our eyes on the situation (especially if her eye candy hubby mark consuelos is around - he's freakin' hot) there's also more on the whole john edwards scandal which i must congratulate editor-in-chief david perel and his team for busting that one wide open - it's not a story i care to talk about much on here (politics related gossip...ugh) but i love it when the enquirer nabs something on the head! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo

EDDIE MONEY VS THE TING TINGS - MASHUP!

good morning! yesterday i had the worst headache and today i'm feeling much better thankfully after a great night of sleep - which i could always use more of - i'm so not a morning person! anyways here's the latest mashup selection from my pal DJ paul v. - i always love when he features mashups from party ben - one of the best mash makers around! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo


† FROM DJ PAUL V.
Those of you who know me, know that I've been around the block a few times (that's my own gentle way of saying I'm...old). But with that wealth of age comes being lucky enough to say I got to experience a few decades of great music, the late 70's included. I enjoyed many wacky cigarettes while listening to Eddie Money back in high school, and here, the always prolific Party Ben brings Mr. Money full circle by showing his influence on 2K's hit-makers. In this case, London's The Ting Tings. Proving that every great DJ needs to pay attention to how the old-school remains too cool.

Enjoy - DJ Paul V.
