Adam Lambert: Just Another Provocative Pop Star?
Last night on the American Music Awards, Adam Lambert gyrated along dancers dressed in S&M inspired costumes. At one point, the American Idol alum pulled a dancer's face toward his crotch. Of course, not everyone was entertained — the spectacle was edited from the West Coast broadcast.
East vs. West: Berlin Wall Divided Two Attitudes Toward Nudity
When the Berlin Wall fell 20 years ago last week, East and West Germany had to integrate two very different cultures. Freedom may have spread quickly through the East, but nudity — the East's favorite and perhaps only freedom — never caught on in the West.
Freikörperkultur (FKK), or liberal body culture, was really the only way to rebel in the East, where the most quotidian details of people's lives were observed by the Stasi, East Germany's secret police.

"I am all for diversity and playing to your audience’s demographic, but please. And not to sound completely misogynistic, but three women as finalists?

California Assemblywoman Proposes "Donda West Law"
Though the current campaign-frenzy pushes other political happenings off the media map sometimes, lawmakers everywhere are still up, kicking, and proposing legislation. One of the latest bills just proposed in California is being called "The Donda West Law" and was inspired by the November death of Kanye West's mother after a cosmetic surgery procedure.
Proposed by California Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter, the law would require patients to have medical clearance before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery.
Barack Obama Has Already Been in The West Wing
This article Buzz pointed out yesterday about Barack Obama being the real-life inspiration for Jimmy Smits' character, Matt Santos, got me all shades of nostalgic for The West Wing. Now granted, by the time that story line rolled around, I daresay the show had, ahem, Jumped the proverbial Shark, but the article is a good read and a nice blend of Ballot Bowl '08 and the Boob-tube.
