Kate Moss: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” WHAT!? November 17, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Fashion, Ruth's Ramblings , 7commentsKate Moss might be a role model to many a woman, but after hearing what her motto in life is… I’m starting to think she should stick to refusing to do media interviews!
Ms Moss was asked by beauty website WWD what her motto for life is, and Kate replied with the jaw-dropping response; “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, that’s one of them.” Erm…has she never had warm chocolate fudge cake with cream?
What a healthy message to share with the world… and to think we’re trying to convince girls that size zero isn’t cool, and that we should embrace who we are as women, rather than trying to get the skeletal look before we’re six feet under.
Asked how she defines beauty, Kate explains, “I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. You can be a pretty face, but if you’re not a nice person, it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right. If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.”
After seeing Lady GaGa having a fake jutting out spine for her latest music video, do you really think we’re sending the right message here ladies?

Does Anyone Else Think There’s Something A Little Odd About This Picture? November 13, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , add a commentI’m all about blatant publicity stunts to get the people talking – I mean it work’s for Lady GaGa – but does anyone else find this picture a little bit, well, weird?
To give you a bit of (essential) background, it’s the new promo shot for Israel’s Orphaned Land and their ‘Highly anticipated; fourth studio opus “The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR” in Europe.
Their new album turns out to be a sophisticated concept album taking Orphaned Land ’s unique brand of exotic, heavy music to soaring new heights in terms of complexity and catchiness. It is an audible manifest that the time has come for Middle Eastern metal to take over!
Vocalist Kobi Farhi comments on the album’s concept and the striking new promo photo as follows: “As people that were born into the tragedy of our region, we have always been devoted to creating harmony between conflicts, a musical heaven on earth, a tango between God & Satan.
“Even in the album’s artwork we combined Hebrew and Arabic, regardless of the fight between Jews and Muslims. I found a Jordanian guy, specialized in calligraphic artwork. He took letters from Hebrew and Arabic and moulded them in his art to create a symbol of peace. Same goes for our band photo, where we portrayed a synergy between the three monotheistic religions, that believe in the same God and yet, ridiculously have been killing each other for centuries “in the name of God” and turned the holy land into an orphaned land.
“Naturally we continued this idea of union on a musical level as well and the result is as always crazy, it’s a miracle – in our concerts: our Jewish fans sing in Arabic and our Muslim fans sing in Hebrew, brave friendships have spawned and our Middle Eastern metal music destroys all this political witchcraft we have been trapped in for so long. This is a musical journey of hope in lands of war, creating heaven on earth, building a new Jerusalem.”
I’ve got to hand it to them though, Orphaned Land is probably the only band from this country that has managed to succeed at building up a huge following among Muslims and Arabian people. These fans communicate freely via the band’s social networking pages, some of them even proudly bearing Orphaned Land, even though that puts them at huge risk in their home countries! The African musician Fela Kuti once said: “music is the weapon of the future” – Orphaned Land is the living proof of that!
Lady GaGa’s (Controversial) Bad Romance Video – We Want Your Views November 11, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 3commentsLady GaGa and Controversial are two words you might be all-too familiar with hearing in the same sentence, but after checking out the video for her latest single Bad Romance, I’ve got to say, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth.
Don’t get me wrong, as soon as I heard the video was online I HAD to check it out right away, and it is (as per usual) GaGa-tastic with mind blowing wardrobe choices and an utterly bizarre storyline, let’s face it, after committing a fake suicide on stage at an awards ceremony this year, and killing her boyfriend in her last music video, this one had to go one better, but making yourself look like an anorexic… isn’t that a bit too far?
Whilst I have no shame in admitting I can’t get enough of Lady GaGa’s remarkable dress sense and I wish, wish, wish I could just spend five minutes with her, I am kind of disgusted by what I see at 2.15 on this video – because with the amount of young girls who thing she’s the bee’s knees, this is surely setting the wrong example?
I’m not going to assume Lady GaGa would be all too bothered – because you don’t see girls walking around in porcelain dresses or covered in plastic bubbles – but it’s the principle of the thing; GaGa looks pretty naked in the clip, so kids might assume she’s naked (and therefore ridiculously skinny) in real like too.
Whilst other parts of the video shows her looking rather healthy (and gorgeous) in just her underwear, this small part has ruined yet another masterpiece from miss GaGa… I just think as a role model to young women she should have thought this one through a little better.
I know Christina Aguilera shows the same body types in her video for ‘Beautiful’ but wasn’t that telling people that ‘You are beautiful, no matter what they say?’ when we see GaGa surrounded by hot men albeit in a rather weird setting, I know there would be people wishing to be in her shoes.
So, what do you think? Is it too much, or am I overreacting?

Lady GaGa WHAT Are You Wearing Now?! November 3, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 1 comment so far
Lady GaGa has yet again unleashed her terrifying wardrobe choice on us, and at the same time has decided to celebrate Halloween a few days late….
Personally I think this rather odd ensemble she pranced around in at the Annual ACE Awards in New York – which looks rather like she’s got flour all over her after a failed baking session – just takes the *ahem* biscuit.
Okay, so maybe Lady GaGa was just making some cupcakes or a pizza before glancing at the clock and realising she had to be in NYC to pick up an award for accessories (they are giving awards for anything these days) but we’re not convinced.
I don’t think the whole lace helmet and bra-over-shit look is ever going to take off here in Wigan, but then again, I doubt any of GaGa’s fashion choices will…
What do you think? Halloween horror or Gaga-Tastic?

Lady Gaga might be able to make demands from time to time… after all, she does ‘take one for the team’ when it comes to fashion, but now it looks like her DJ, Lady Starlight has let her mate’s fame go to her head after demanding an INSANE rider whilst in the UK.
Michael Jackson’s family might look as though they’re cashing in on his death by releasing This Is It : The Movie, but they claim that they won’t be watching the tour documentary – because it will be too painful.
Chris Brown, what planet are you on mate? Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder why the heck he is still hoping to get back with his ex Rihanna? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they loved each other like salt and pepper, but after he gave her a backhander earlier this year, and left her looking rather like a giant purple and red balloon, we’re pretty sure she’s not interested.
When villian Jigsaw died in the third Saw movie you really would have thought that they would have called the franchise a day. But this is Hollywood we are talking about and they weren’t ready to let go of thismoney train just yet… so much so the franchise is now on movie six. But in that time Tobin Bell’s character Jigsaw has become one of the most iconic villains in modern horror movies.

Lady GaGa never fails to surprise us with her wardrobe choices, but this latest publicity stunt has left us with our jaws firmly on the floor, considering that she’s actually FULLY naked… ooh er!
Miley Cyrus premiered her new video on Dancing With The Stars this week, and just in case you missed it, we have used the wonder of YouTube to make sure you’re not left out, so, have a peep and tell us what you think…
To say that Robert Downey Jr has had an up and down career would be a little bit of an understatement, but when you are better knwon for your criminal record rather than your movies you know things aren’t going quite right. But in an amazing change of fortune, and some excellent performances, Downey Jr has turned it all around to be the most in demand actor in Hollywood at the moment… what a guy!

Lady Gaga Goes Commando September 17, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , 3commentsWe know lady Gaga is famous for her obscure fashion choices, but she has somehow managed to shock us even further, by revealing that she thinks underwear is pointless.
Unlike me then, Gaga might not be a fan of keeping her modesty intact and prefers to let her foo foo (or willy, as we’re still not quite sure) go Au Natural as it makes her tight-fitting clothes look better.
Not your best look Gaga
To be honest, we think she should have thought about that before she showed up at a UK festival and gave us a sneak peek of what looked like a penis hanging between her legs, but according to the Daily Star, she said: “I don’t really go in for wearing underwear, not very much, no – it’s rare that I decide to put some on, there’s no point really.”
To be honest Miss Gaga, I think there’s every point, it’s like sleeping with a guy on the first date… you need to keep certain things under wraps and only bring them out on special occasions… plus, isn’t she worried that a fly or wasp might wander up her hemline?

Lady Gaga might be used getting a slating over her odd fashion choices by now, but it seems that her whole ensemble at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday might have landed her in deep water with a concerned charity.
Oh my, Katie Price never fails to astound us! She’s only gone and rang The Wright Stuff yesterday to kick off about the host discussing the topic; “Should raped stars go to the police before they go to the papers?” Katie reckons we shouldn’t be talking about it, but to be honest, we reckon that telling a national magazine that you were raped is going to get tongues wagging.
Venice Film Festival has once again slightly gone under the radar and been overshadowed by Toronto, which is currently in full swing. And while they are yet to uncover a little gem like Slumdog Millionaire there are a string of performances that could be battling it out at next year’s Oscars, yes we are talking about Oscars already.
Together Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze were one of movie’s best double acts in 1990’s Ghost. The Oscar winning star remembers her friend and popular actor after his death from cancer and thanks him for her Academy Award.
Check out what I reckon are the Standout Albums Of 2009 (So Far). See if you agree.

Lady Gaga might look like she’s borrowed half of her outfits from some little green man from outer space, but now it seems as though the style queen could have a more obvious meaning behind her clothes. Cocaine. Brilliant.
Nicole Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden are parents for the second time after Nicole gave birth to a baby boy. Only one problem… his name: Sparrow James Midnight Madden. Poor thing… I mean come on, if you’re going to name your child after a bird, shouldn’t it be something like an Eagle, or Robin?
Jessica Simpson and John Mayer have reportedly rekindled their romance after failing to find love with others since their break-up. How cute.
Is it just me or are Daughtry on of the best bands to come out of America ever? I’m still quite new to them, but after getting a copy of their new album, Leave This Town, in the post (perks of being a music journalist) I think I am actually in love with them
Despite claming that he was leaving the Bourne franchise behind it seems that Matt Damon has had a change of heart and could be returning to the role that made him a star. And let’s face it with a nice paycheck for the effort it was only a matter of time before Jason Bourne was back on the big screen, not that I’m complaining ofr course as The Bourne Ultimatum was one of the best movies of 2007.
Derren Brown is bloody brilliant isn’t he? Not only can he throw playing cards inside car windows, but he can also predict the National Lottery draw as well… I think I love him (not as much as Marshall Lancaster though, obviously) But does ANYONE know how he did it? I could do with a bit of extra cash!

Posted by Ruth in : Daily Dis , add a comment
Remember a couple of weeks ago we showed you that shocking video of what appeared to be a penis poking out from under Lady Gaga’s outfit? Well now she’s only gone and ranted about the rumours on radio… blabbering on saying; “My beautiful vagina is very offended, I’m not offended – my vagina is offended.” Brilliant!
Who can forget Susan Boyle? That dead good singer from Britain’s Got Talent? Of course you do!! Well her debut album has gone straight in at Number One – three months before it’s even released. Whoopee for her!
Some of you may be mourning the end of the blockbuster summer, although I expect some of you are glad to see the back of it. And the cold winter months maybe growing ever closer but we do have the film schedule to look forward to with the likes of New Moon and Avatar on the agenda it’s gonna be a corker.
