Some people should just stick to their day job. One of those people is Mariah Carey. She’s got the pipes but she does not have the chops. No matter how many B-movies she makes that virtually no one ever sees, she can’t shake the bad rap. Her crowning achievement as a thespian was when she made Glitter. However, she (in my opinion) faired better in Wisegirls, a 2002 release where she played a waitress with a Long Island accent and bad hair (not too much of a stretch). In her new film, Tennessee, Carey plays another down on her luck waitress with bad hair and an even worse accent, this time it’s vaguely southern. I don’t know what’s worse, the unbelievable tone of her voice or the scene where she strums a guitar on stage. It’s just a hot mess.

Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure of appearing on the Fuse Network program, “The Sauce”, a high-energy show (complete with a cheering live audience!) that focuses on music, TV, movies, and interviews with hot stars. I went on the show to discuss all of the important news of the day: American Idol, Mariah vs. Madonna, Sex and the City, and Indiana Jones. We chatted about my love of Idol finalist David Cook, and how all of the aforementioned stars, shows, and silver screen favorites are all selling like hotcakes on eBay. Also appearing on the show yesterday was Jessica Szohr who plays Vanessa on Gossip Girl. Naturally I had to sneak into her dressing room to snap a pic with her! She was as sweet as sugar, and GORGEOUS in person. Truthfully, even I felt like a mini-star, they had my name on my dressing room door and were scurrying around making sure our team had enough ice, cold drinks, and snacks to keep us satiated. Too much! All in all, it was a great spot and we had a blast. Fuse is simply fab!

I just returned from a jaunt across the Atlantic and I am here to tell you what’s hot on the music scene in Europe. I listened to a lot of radio while I was driving on the opposite side of the road in Ireland and can come to the following conclusions: the European stations love Miss Mariah and Mr. Kanye West. It seemed like those two were on every station, like, every 20 minutes—it was as though “Touch My Body” was on repeat. Moreover on the music scene, Kylie Minogue, The Kooks, and the Guillemots are très popular in Paris. But I have news; while cruising I found a hot new track featuring Kanye (natch) that is going to be HUGE stateside. It comes courtesy of Estelle (an artist I mentioned in a previous post) and is aptly dubbed, “American Boy.” It is totally infectious and I could not wait to get back to the states and download a copy.

Spring has sprung and it’s time for some new tunes. April is chock full of exciting releases that I want to tell you about. Here’s a list of artists with new LPs:

Brian Jonestown Massacre, “My Bloody Underground”, 4/15: interesting that they got their LP out before the May release from their musical rivals, The Dandy Warhols).
Elvis Costello, “Momofuku”, 4/22: The other Elvis brings it on Momofuku.
Ashlee Simpson, “Bittersweet World”, 4/22: Lil’ Ashlee is all grown up on this album, fiancée and baby daddy(?) Pete Wentz lends a hand.
Flight of the Conchords, “Flight of the Conchords“, 4/22: The comedic folk duo are bound to come out with something hilarious.
Portishead, “Third”, 4/29: The original trip-hoppers are back. No more “Sour Times”!
Estelle, “Shine”, 4/29: They’re all saying she’s the new Amy Winehouse…I hope they mean musically and not personally.
Santogold, “Santogold”, 4/29: They’re all saying she’s the new MIA. 4/29
The Roots, “Rising Down“, 4/29: Philly’s hip hop superstars raise consciousness…and the roof.
