What do you think? I love Gaga. She is always great. I am not a fan of the actual song though, so even a great video wasn’t going to win me over. But, I’d love to hear your critique! Sound off below!
John Barrowman (Torchwood, Doctor Who) has done his own interpretation of the Beyonce Single Ladies video. Eat it up! He never fails to get me to crack a smile.

Organizers of last Saturday's annual Zombie Mall Crawl are being forced by the Downtown Denver Partnership to pay $1,000 to clean up the fake blood that was left on store fronts, banners and buses this weekend.
The event's organizer, Daniel Newman, told Westword Wednesday that the Downtown Denver Partnership considered the residual fake blood to be akin to graffiti:
"Basically, the Downtown Denver Partnership, the guys who manage the mall, without e-mailing us or asking us if we could help clean up, considered all the fake blood to be the same as graffiti and handed it to that department," Newman says. "So we got a little over $1,000 worth of reimbursement charges for graffiti cleanup."Organizers of last Saturday's annual Zombie Mall Crawl are being forced by the... more

"Beyonce cancels Malaysian concert after Islamist pressure," from DPA, October 21:
Kuala Lumpur - Multiple Grammy award-winner Beyonce Knowles has indefinitely postponed the Malaysian leg of her world tour following opposition by hardline Islamists over her racy costumes and dance moves, news reports said Wednesday.
Beyonce, who was due to perform in the capital Kuala Lumpur on Sunday, had earlier agreed to tone down her performance and clothes for the show.
However, local organisers of the concert announced that the show would be postponed, without a new date given.
Malaysian Tourism Minister Rais Yatim said the government had not imposed any pressure or conditions on Beyonce, adding that the decision to cancel the show could have been due to pressure from local hardline Islamists, the New Straits Times daily said.
Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) had objected to Beyonce's concert, saying the singer's costumes and performances were 'too sexy' for local audiences....
The Islamic party has in the past opposed scheduled concerts by numerous famous Western female performers, including Rihanna, Avril Lavigne, the Pussycat Dolls and Gwen Stefani....

"Listen Beyonce, I'm a let you finish.. You had one of the best videos of all time. But at least Taylor Swift writes all of the songs that she claims to write.."
I have always been a fan of Destiny's Child and the solo pieces from each of the remaining three members. It has been a beautiful thing to watch over the last decade. I love watching people Horatio Alger their way to success. It is the American Dream. I enjoy watching others achieve it while I am still on my way up. But I have definitely also been a hater of Beyonce, the person. She has great media training but there is something about 'the real her' that 'really' annoys me. That aside, I have never been able to deny that she is a very talented young woman. She has a beautiful voice and her songwriting credits are extensive. So I'm a lover and a hater.
Now, let us find out that SonyBMG has been involved in some old-fashioned corporate thuggery, hacking an indie artists computer and stealing music and video treatments from independent artists and passing the content on to artists signed to the major label. Madonna and Beyonce are two of the biggest players in the music industry and have been involved with this type of claim this entire decade, although major media outlets have barely reported on the matter. I knew that there was something funny about Beyonce and I feel like my intense hate has been vindicated. She and her former-manager/father, Matthew Knowles, have been taking a lot of credit for the hard work of others in the music industry. They have been wildly successful, that is for certain. But as with all major wealth, to acquire the multi-million dollar fortunes the old saying goes: "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'."

I understand artistic license and being inspired by another artist, etc. The problem lies when one passes the ideas on as their own without giving proper credit where it is due. Knowles has 'forgotten' to pay the Wilhwlmina Artist Management $88,000 for brokering her $900,000 L'Oreal contract in April 2001. Knowles and family gave Greg Walker of Icon Entertainment the slip to the tune of $25,000 for his services rendered in brokering the $15,000,000 fashion deal for the House of Dereon in 2004. She has publicly claimed to have written "Crazy in Love" and "Irreplaceable," though they were actually written by their respective producers Greg Harrison and Ne-yo. Fans may also be saddened to hear of the ongoing litigation involving such hits as "Survivor", "Baby Boy", and "Independent Women." It should be noted that Beyonce fired her father from her manager position back in 2007 and Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland followed suit in January 2009. Millions of dollars in royalties are deserving of the plaintiffs, independent artists doing just that: creating art. But decide for yourself.
Blogs and the internets have tried their best to disseminate the message but we all know how easy it is to discredit independent news outlets, especially weblogs."Listen Beyonce, I'm a let you finish.. You had one of the best videos of all time.... more
