Billy Corgan has some harsh words for John Mayer, following the singer/songwriter’s quips to Playboy magazine about Jessica Simpson being "sexual napalm."

As far as it pertains to her. I think for any person who has celebrity to sort of drop rocks at somebody elses feet like that — theres things you should really just keep your mouths shut on. Theres things that should just be left alone, Corgan, who is rumored to be dating Simpson, tells Rolling Stone magazine.

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman believes Mayer is trying to self destruct, telling the publication, "Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where hes trying to blow it up. Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, its hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground — speaking as somebody whos done it.

It is a good idea for an expectant mother to arrange for a peaceful and happy environment

March 16th, 2010

It is a good idea for an expectant mother to arrange for a peaceful and happy environment. Luckily, it is quite common for this time of a woman”s life to be the most happy time in life. By no means do I want to convey that I recommend for the mother to be inactive. Activity is great (as long as there is no physical condition that dictates otherwise). However, I definitely recommend engaging in activities that bring joy and enjoyment.

All the practicing in the world may sometimes not be enough to pass an audition

March 13th, 2010

All the practicing in the world may sometimes not be enough to pass an audition. If that”s the case, accept the reasons that you”re given by the jury, and go home and practice those specific things. If they aren”t forthcoming with specific reasons, ask questions. I think it”s only fair that a jury tells you what your weaknesses are if they turn you down.

That certainly didn”t stop her aspirations or celebrity

March 12th, 2010

That certainly didn”t stop her aspirations or celebrity. Carmen Electra was still nonetheless a celebrity, making appearances on TV and in motion pictures. In 1996, she posed for Hugh Hefners Playboy magazine which of course instantly boosted her Q-rating in both good and bad ways. In 1997 and 1998 she starred in the inexplicably popular TV series Baywatch, with Pamela Anderson. Well I guess it wasn”t all that hard to figure out why they got such good ratings. Also in 1997, she hosted a couple of shows on MTV. In 1998 she actually married the goofy basketball player, Dennis Rodman, and the couple was separated nine days later. Unsurprised it lasted that long. Their marriage was later annulled and they went their separate ways. In the next several years Carmen appeared and a couple of small movie roles.

Jos James - Blackmagic

Beats or no beats, this boy has something going on.

Various Artists - Harder Shade of Black

If youre fresh to the sounds of Santic this is a good place to start.

Solo Banton - Walk Like Rasta

Debut album from UK reggae artist with plenty to say.

General Fiasco - Buildings

A perfunctory debut album, but surely destined for the indie landfill.
