"This is the best mistake we've ever made," my friend said to me immediately following us watching this music video. And indeed it was! The new Ke$ha music video tells the tale of a girl and her hippie boyfriend tripping in the desert... only the drugs they're taking isn't acid, peyote or mushrooms... it's each other's love! Well dose me up, 'cause that looks like some good shit! Your Love Is My Drug is really just a great love song, set to go down in history alongside My Heart Will Go On and I Will Always Love You. Yes Your Love Is My Drug is certainly a masterpiece (to Ke$ha standards at least.) Oh and one more thing... I like your beard.
Miley Cyrus has done it again. First with her controversial Vanity Fair photo shoot and now with the cover art for her latest album titled, Can't Be Tamed. Can't be tamed is right, she's 17! And while the cover might be a little risque, she's fast embarking on adulthood, only paced faster because of her publicized life. She's wearing leather and showing her midriff, could be worse. Considering all the things she could be doing, a la Lindsay Lohan, Miley is as tame as a baby kitten. She's certainly not the lioness her record company wants to make her out to be. Now I'm sure that much like the Vanity Fair cover, this cover art will probably be scrutinized and analyzed but I'd just like you all to remember this. She's 17!
"But MissBleecker, she's just 17, how could she?" Um... I don't know, think back to when you were 17 and everything you did. Think about everything you did that wasn't on the cover of an album? We all know teenagers are wild and rebellious and a bit dramatic. I AM NOT DRAMATIC!!! Sure you're not. But in all seriousness, she's a young woman, if the argument is that she's going to be a role model for young women and she's representing a sexualized version of teenaged girls then I say to you, she's 17 and last time I checked most people become sexually active at the age of 16. Sorry parents if you're worried about your kids having sex because of Miley they probably already are. Also, as I seem to recall the Virgin Crew from the late 90s/early 00s didn't do much saving room for Jesus either, if you know what I mean. And look at how they turned out!
Not a great example, but you get the picture.
This is something I've been wanting to do for a little while and thanks to the great traffic on my last Christina Aguilera post, I'm introducing a new series to the RadCooks Glob! Every week I'll go through posts, history and news and pick a Radical (or radioactive) Feminist and crown them RadFem of the Week!
Name:Christina Maria AguileraAlias: X-Tina, Chrissy, Baby Jane, Candy
Birthday: December 18, 1980
Claim to Fame: A little diddy called Genie in a Bottle.
RadFem Worthy: With songs like, Fighter, Can't Hold Us Down and now Not Myself Tonight, Aguilera empowers women through music while reminding them that they can still be sexy women!
Fun Fact: Bitch was so talented when she was little other kids would withdraw when they heard they'd be up against her talented ass. The backlash continued with vandalism to her family's house and Christina getting attacked in gym class. The family had to move and keep Christina's golden pipes a secret. Damn bitches are crazy in the suburbs!
Here's baby Christina belting it.
In Beyonce's latest music video she spends almost 5 whole minutes whining about the fact that her boyfriend doesn't love her anymore. She gets dolled up, does household chores and bakes for her man (all failed attempts by the way.) Maybe if bitch didn't light her cookies on fire she could learn how to keep a man. I'll tell you one thing, crying into a phone while smoking and pounding down martinis, donning mascara tears is not going to make your boyfriend love you anymore. Crazy bitch alert!
The song is catchy enough and I guess the message BB Homemaker is trying to send might be somewhere along the lines of, "if a woman is beautiful and caring and smart, what's not to love?" Well, Beyonce, sometimes things just don't work out.
Side note: Does anyone else think it's odd that after Beyonce and Jay-Z married she came out with all these songs about female independence and abusive relationships? Just saying...
The video wouldn't embed properly, so until YouTube snags a copy you're just going to have to click!
It's been a while, hasn't it? Christina Aguilera released her latest single off her new album, Bionic, it's called "Not Myself Tonight" and it tells the story of a young girl, trying to make it in the big city, so she goes out for the night, gets drunk and soon is overcome by the powerful urge to dance and wear rhinestone encrusted gag pieces. Fortunately the song seems to imply that she returnes to her normal self in the morning, after all nothing is Klassier than a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets... and product placement.
The video is a mish-mosh of Madonna, Lady Gaga, Single Ladies, Sex and the City, and an all drag revue. Here's a gallery of stills from the video!
The latest episode of Glee was a total snooze. Let's deal with the issue of home and what that means to us as individuals. Mercedes toyed with being at home in her body. Will, fresh into the divorce pile, needs to find a new apartment home. Kristin Chenoweth is back as alchie April Rhodes who longs to sublet Will's home and heart. Finn's mom and Kurt's dad are thinking about sharing a home together. And the Glee Club has once again been bested by Sue Sylvester, losing their auditorium or their what kids?... HOME! Very good. Very boring more like it. I'm not even going to go any deeper into this episode because it really doesn't even deserve this post.
As for Kurt Outfit Watch, since his joining the Cheerios his wardrobe has been limited to the Will Ferrellesque cheerleading uniform. Kurt wants his wardrobe back!

"OMG The Madonna Episode of Glee!" Is what I would say if I were 16 and living in 1987. This episode is about two great things: sex and women's rights! As you remember, in high school, everyone is a virgin; from the gleeks to the quarterback to the guidance counselor (?). The episode starts out with Rachel and the other ladies of Glee Club bitching about men, as women usually do; how much pressure there is on them, men don't appreciate them, they make less money, men beat them senseless, blah, blah, blah... save it for Oprah!
Jesse St. James (aka FBD - Future Baby Daddy) wants to do the deed with Rachel but she's just not ready and so he gets mad and storms out without even taking his Care Bear! Heartless creep! Santana needs a younger man and since Finn is 3 days her junior she decides to activate his V-card. Meanwhile Emma & Will still haven't gotten past over-the-clothes-fondling and she's edging on 40 Year-Old Virgin status. So lets see, that's 3, count them, 1, 2, 3 virgins who decide to pop their cherries in one episode! Isn't there a Madonna song about that?! Just wait until after the commercial break!

That's an O-face if I've ever seen one!
I've been on the fence about the new Fox musical, Glee, since it's inception. The sneak peek summer episode was fabulous and reminiscent of Election, but when the seasons started the flare seemed to fizzle out. I couldn't place my finger on it, but I watched the first episode, after the hiatus, and by Jove, I've got it! The perfect analogy for Glee,
Glee is an overdone filet mignon! The idea is good, everyone loves filet mignon, it's unique and rare and scrumptious. But... if you cook it for too long, like anything else, it will burn. Glee is overdone. There I said it!
Now some seem to think the overdoneness of Glee is part of it's charm, and I'm not saying I don't find the show entertaining (I do), but from a storytelling standpoint, it just doesn't work. After the Glee Club won sectionals, the show took a break to prepare for the upcoming half of the season. Since we've come back, nothing has changed, I repeat in caps locks, NOTHING HAS CHANGED! The principle is still threatening to cancel Glee Club, again their survival rests on winning an upcoming competition (season finale anyone?), Sue is back as Cheerio Coach and trying to bring the Glee Club down, Will is still whining about how "life just isn't fair," Rachel is still getting slurpied, Kurt still wears funny clothes, Mercedes is still a diva, Artie's still in a wheelchair, the Asian guy still dances and doesn't talk and the various love triangles are still fucking complicated as fuck!
These are the same exact storylines from the first half of the season! If Glee can't even last a season without repeating stories, the show is going to have a short lifespan. Step it up!
