Black Holes and Stars

For those of you who didn't see this lately: Help John Mayer finish a song
Your eyes do not deceive you. This is for your pure amusement, especially since the man is a hack and sounds like other singers. He has no sound, no unique voice (I'm not talking about the way air is bent in his throat)- it could be anyone's song if anyone else sung it. They don't belong to him. Its Dave Matthews, its Coldplay, its Pete Yorn, it could even be Rob Thomas. So forgive me if I find AMUSEMENT in him outwardly admitting he's a hack in this manner.

Singer encourages fans to put music to his lyrics
John Mayer has writer’s block — and he wants your help.

The soft-voiced rocker is calling on fans to make a song out of some lyrics that didn’t make it onto his upcoming album.

“I’m inviting all aspiring songwriters to write their own chords and melodies around my lyrics,” Mayer writes in the September issue of Esquire, on newsstands Aug. 15. “You can tell people we wrote a song together.”

Secondly, there is an MSN article of B-List Actresses that should be A-list (Opinion Article mind). I don't agree with a lot of the sentiments, especially not the comment at the end dissing Ashton Kutcher. But four of the ladies I did appreciate.

Thora Birch,Sarah Polley,Anna Paquin, and Zoe Saldana.

I've liked Thora since I first saw her in Hocus Pocus. So sweet, soulfull, and mischievious. I'm glad she hasn't faded into the woodwork, and would love to see if any of the movies she's done since then tickle my fancy.

Sarah was mentioned because of her recent role in Dawn of the Dead- which isn't really my cup of tea. Go is more my speed. It goes crazy with some of the time-space relations, but all in all, its like Pulp Fiction just got brought up to date, and Ronna was a great role for her. I agree she needs to bust out a little of the 'tough girl' roles.

Saldana was the spicy pirate lady Anamarie who ended up with the other ship after the Black Pearl set sail. Jack Sparrow did owe her since he sunk hers. She was a positive spitfire character, and I wish she was in the movie longer than five minutes. Zoe is a fairly recent newcomer to movie roles.

Anna Paquin, or Rogue from the X-Men movies I should say. Ahh, you know who. She was also in Finding Forrester and Fly Away Home. She's grown a lot since those roles. I look for her to go places in the movies. I look forward to it.
