FRESH MUSIC: Robin Thicke - Magic

♫ Robin Thicke - Magic (full) - listen

A little while ago, I posted some updates about Robin Thicke releasing his third album, and the first single was slated to be called “Magic.” Here it is! Sorry about all the DJ mess going on in the beginning, but I was excited to post this track when I received the information in my inbox.  “Magic” is definitely jamming. I’m digging the music.

The gays can marry in California. . .

In a monumental victory for the gay rights movement, the California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage Thursday in a ruling that would allow same-sex couples in the nation’s biggest state to tie the knot.

Quote of the day

“I don’t do too many [drugs]. I just smoke weed and drink. But I’ll never fuck with no more coke. It’s not about the bad high; it’s just about the acne: Cocaine makes your face break out. I’m a pretty boy.”

- Lil’ Wayne tells New York magazine

WTF?!

American Idol season 3 winner, Fantasia Barrino, was on the results show Wednesaday night where she sang her new song “Bore Me” and she worked her new hair color. You will also notice a very ‘disturbed’ Simon Cowell during her performance. He’s probably wondering why she still is wearing braces after 8 years!! Sheesh!!

The big girl won. . .

Thanks to a commanding runway presence and some ultra-pretty pictures, the busty and beautiful Whitney Thompson was named America’s Next Top Model, becoming the first plus-sized (or, full-figured) poser to make the top-rated CW series’ final three, let alone win the whole darn thing.

“There’s definitely times I’ve looked in the mirror and looked at other girls and thought, I wasn’t like them,” the 20-year-old from Atlantic Beach, Fla., said after learning she had beat out her high-fashion-ready cofinalist, Anya Kop, for all the spoils.

“I want other women in America to feel good about themselves…It’s amazing to be America’s Next Top Model. This is exactly what I want. This is what I’ve always wanted!” she exclaimed.

Goodbye Syesha. . .

It’ll be David vs. David. Syesha Mercado was voted off “American Idol” Wednesday night, paving the way for the expected showdown between David Archuleta and David Cook.

Mercado, a 21-year-old actress from Sarasota, Fla., was the last woman standing on the top-rated Fox contest. The big-voiced belter surpassed a more accomplished singer (Carly Smithson), a fan favorite (Brooke White) and a statuesque country crooner (Kristy Lee Cook).

While other contestants floundered, Mercado challenged herself with ambitious song choices like Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come.” She showed more personality — and lots of leg — while swiveling her hips in a glittery gold minidress for a rendition of “Proud Mary.” She cried when Paula Abdul gave her a standing ovation last week.

Damn.

. . . and I thought New Yorkers loved ‘Sex and The City’. . . I’m guessing everyone is not trying to get CARRIed away. .
