“I smoke weed, but I don’t think it’s really a drug. It’s more of a herb. I don’t regret saying that at all. I think everyone smokes weed and people who say they don’t are lying! Weed has been given this evil stamp, but how is it dangerous? It’s going to make you laugh your arse off? You might go to sleep? I think alcohol is much more harmful. People beat the fuck out of each other on alcohol. ”
Joss Stone, On Smoking Weed
“Lily Allen is “more of a personality than she is a singer. [Lily] needs to sell records because she’s not a singer, and that’s not an offense to her because I think that she knows that too.”
Joss Stone, On Lily Allen
We hope the sexy time was worth it because I sure as hell hope Joss Stone did NOT think a relationship with an 18-year-old (now 19-year-old) was going to last. Yep, Danny Radford kicked Joss to the curb. Three months and bam…another one bites the dust.
A friend said, “Danny adores Joss but he couldn’t put up with her constantly being away. He’s upset but wants to make a fresh start. Joss seems cool about it.”
Oh well…on to the next one, beotch!
As we draw near to the end of 2008, I’ve had a bit of time to reflect on the year past and daydream about what 2009 will bring. In late 2008, this website was born and going into 2009 we will celebrate our year in cyberspace. Not only has the year been full of drama-filled celebrity adventures, but most importantly my passion of music has grown.
I have compiled the top ten albums, in my opinion of course, from 2008 and present them now to you. You may or may not agree with me…but hey, whatevs. Suck it up, babes.
10. Gavin DeGraw, Gavin Degraw: He writes his own songs…plays piano and guitar. And, he’s cute. BONUS! I am very selective to the albums I spend my ching on and this one is worth every penny. “In Love With A Girl” STILL rocks my playlist.
9. Natasha Bedingfield, Pocket Full of Sunshine: Natasha is not recognized enough. This girl can sing. Her voice is powerful and her lyrics happy. And I like “happy”. “Pocket Full of Sunshine” makes me think of sunshine and rainbows EVERY time I hear it.
8. Leona Lewis, Spirit: This girl was born with a talent; there’s no doubt about that. A Simon Cowell prodigy, Leona’s range is enormous. Girl also dominated the charts with “Bleeding Love” and “Better In Time”. As long as Leona can keep pumping out the ballads, her longevity will prevail.
7. Chris Brown, Exclusive: Chris Brown is this year’s golden boy, besides Michael Phelps. Chris seemed to really step up his game by not only capturing Rihanna’s heart, but musically dominating the charts with singles and collaborations. Chris Brown IS a true talent. “Kiss Kiss” pretty much rocked my world this year. Thanks, Chris.
6. Pussycat Dolls, Doll Domination: Bitches can hate all they want. Just because they dress like ho-bags doesn’t mean they are ho-bags. Ok, maybe they are. And so what. These girls can dance AND sing. With their flirty and upbeat numbers, PCD has proved they aren’t just a “fad”. I’m glad Nicole wised up and realized she ain’t shiz without the other four girls.
5. Adele, 19: Basically an unknown until the Grammy nominations came out, Adele has captured the hearts of many. Compared to the musical likes of Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone, Adele can sing me to sleep any night. In fact, before I go to bed, this album is on repeat. Quite frankly, I cannot sleep without her. Period. If you haven’t checked out “19″, you’re missing out on HIGH quality, pure soulful music. The End.
4. T.I., Paper Trail: Lil Wayne is overrated. Plain and simple. T.I. is the one with the real talent and you must admit it was his year. “Whatever You Like” is simple, yet catchy and I cannot get this song outta my head. That’s how you KNOW it’s good. This whole album is straight to the point…and really relates to life. If I had enough money to buy EVERYONE this album I would.
3. Taylor Swift, Fearless: Oh my dear, Taylor Swift. Now you may just be thinking this is a pity placing due to Miss Taylor getting shafted by the Grammy committee. Well peeps, you are wrong. Taylor Swift should have gotten 20349494 nominations, but let me tell you…listen to this album and in your heart you can pretend she did get 20349494 Grammy wins…because she deserves them. I’m usually not a country fan, but lyrically and musically Taylor has captured my heart. Make sure you have a Kleenex box handy upon listening.
2. Mariah Carey, E=MC2: Mariah, my beotch. Nope, she’s not number one and I almost feel guilty for punishing my girl like this. Let’s face it. This album was in my CD player in my car, in my house, in my bathroom and in my computer 24/7 ever since the album debuted in April. Mariah writes ALL her own lyrics and her voice is like no other. This album is fun, yet MC still shows her sensitive side with those ballads that made her who she is today.
So, here we are. Down to number one. So, who could possibly beat out MY GIRL MC?
But first….who were the worst of 2008? It was a big fat tie between Jessica Simpson’s Do You Know and Ashlee Simpson’s Bittersweet World. Good job Papa Joe!

After three years of singledom…yeah THREE years (hard to believe, I know)…Joss Stone has seemed to be fishing around and now has hooked someone she can declare her “boyfriend”. And guess what? He’s not 30 years older than her! Oh and he also is NOT a record producer. Imagine that!
Apparently since LAST summer, Joss has been “seeing” (aka knockin’ boots with) a boy by the name of Daniel Radford…a “Bob The Builder” type. The cool thing about this union is that Joss knew Daniel BEFORE she found fame and fortune.
An “inside” source said, “He’d do anything for her and is totally devoted – she seems to be just as taken with him. One of the reasons that they work so well is that Joss trusts him completely. She knew him before she was famous and he has been close to her family for years. Joss’s mum loves him and trusts him not to hurt her. She flies all over the world and mixes in glamorous circles – but just wants to have fun with an ordinary guy.”
Well, hopefully this works out for Joss! Daniel looks to be a hottie!
Since Joss Stone attended and participated in the “Imagine There’s No Hunger” campaign (at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City) yesterday, I can’t really rip on her too badly.
With that being said…her curly hair suits her well, however, the ensemble is hideous. And, though for once she is wearing shoes on the red carpet, she seems to have worn two different shoes. I’m not sure if she noticed this or not, but yeah…it’s not cute.

If you are gonna be President, you need a theme song. Out of ALL the artists out there, Obama selected Joss Stone to be the creator of his campaign theme song.
The reason for picking Joss? Barack was impressed by her ability to attract to both white and black voters in America.
And the hippies…and the stoners…
So perhaps Barack is thinking that he could get the stoners to perk up their ears a bit, put down the bag of Doritoes and vote this election?
Could be! Wow. What a smart man!
