If I were a contestant on The Voice, it would take me one millisecond to choose Blake Shelton as my mentor. The reason? He’s the only judge with post-show loyalty. It’s not about winning the show, it’s about what happens after you win the show, and a huge part of an artist’s success is whether other artists with more fame promote them. And Blake Shelton constantly promotes Dia Frampton and Xenia, two contestants from the last season of the show. Sure Adam Levine won with Javier Colon, but does he invite him to sing at Maroon 5 concerts? In fact, Dia Frampton is joining Blake Shelton on tour. You can’t beat that type of exposure. There is no way Christina Aguilera would make that same type of offer.

Freida Pinto Wants to Avoid Hot-Girl Type Casting — Then Shows GQ Some Leg?
Freida Pinto tells GQ that she was afraid to be type-cast as the hot girl after Slumdog Millionaire. Wow, that’s such an interesting confession, especially since she’s posing in a short leather skirt while leaning up against a radiator. I wonder if that will help her get more “serious” roles. If you’re an avid fan of The Dishmaster, you would know that I constantly pick on woman for their come-fuck-me poses in magazines. I can already anticipate the backlash for this post, and as a pre-emptive strike, I’d encourage you to Google Freida Pinto, and you will see that almost every single article title that references this GQ interview, refers to her “sultry” photos. I’m surprised she did an interview at all actually, since none of the quotes will be picked up by the press. I’d also like to point you to the cover of the same magazine, where Ryan Reynolds is fully clothed, despite the fact that he has a very serious six-pack. Do you think that the photographer asked Reynolds to also strip down, and he wisely said no? Actually, if I’m being fair, Reynolds is pretty guilty, considering he often poses sans clothing on magazine covers.

Halle Berry Loves to be Naked — Thanks for Sharing
Isn’t Halle Berry an actress? After all, not everyone can say they played Catwoman on the big screen. I can now add her to my list of desperate actresses that sexualize themselves to get attention in the entertainment industry. The best part? She has actually won an Oscar, which puts her on my shit-list hall of fame. The source of my anger comes from a recent interview, when Berry confessed that “if the world didn’t persecute her,” she’d take “nude pictures of herself every day of the week.” She claimed that doing so would be “empowering.” I hope that by “world,” she was referring to The Dishmaster, so let my persecution parade began. First, I have absolutely no idea what question she was asked that warranted this voluntary revelation about how she’s a closet exhibitionist. Here’s a list of the possible questions: “Halle, you’re so hot, would you be naked every minute of the day if you could?”; “Halle, why don’t you just get naked right now?”; and finally, “Halle, I often jerk-off when I think about your naked boobies in Swordfish, do you find that flattering?” Maybe Halle Berry can take a vacation with Cameron Diaz, Christina Aguilera, and Zoe Saldana — that would be quite the party (if you don’t get that reference, click on each of those names for the links).
Christina Aguilera’s ‘Bionic’ — What Went Wrong
Christina’s Aguillera’s comeback album, Bionic, tanked in record sales, and the folks over at RCA think it has something to do with her not-so-relatable image. I would agree. Since entering the industry, Aguilera has always suffered from a major identity crisis. She started as a pop-tart-replica of Britney Spears, and then bashed the comparisons. After she got some footing in the industry, she went the complete opposite route, and released a very “dirty” album, which involved Aguilera’s near naked performances in chaps and mud (and a very entertaining Sarah Michelle Gellar SNL skit making fun of her). On that same album, she also had ballads which showed her vocal prowess but confused listeners. Is she supposed to be a trash-tastic Celine Dion? — I wondered at the time. She then cleaned off her image a bit, and started to insanely over-sing, to the point where she obliterated the melody of every single song. She had something to prove, and in the process, I became incredibly bored with the indulgent need to show-off. Now, years later, she changed course again. The Bionic album is the polar opposite of over-singing. It has a fun, dance vibe, and it’s nice to listen to in the shower. So why did it tank? Is it because other people enjoy the over-signing, and I am the minority? Is it because I’m wrong and the album is bad? Personally, I think it tanked because no one has any idea who Christina Aguilera is anymore, and we are all exhausted. Her identity crisis is responsible for the comparisons to other artists (such as Lady Gaga) — a comparison that she deplores. So here’s my advice — get with some people that can help tailor your image, don’t over-sing, and don’t release angry statements to the press about how you hate being compared to Lady Gaga.
