They say things happens in threes and it couldn’t be even more true this week. On Tuesday it was Ed McMahon, today it was two others: Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Three legends that will live on in people’s hearts forever.

Ed McMahon hosted Star Search and some great talents came from there. I loved Star Search, I actually like it better than American Idol. Why did they ever get rid of that show? From then on, I really didn’t follow what he did afterwards. But I never really heard anything bad about him. He seemed like a like-able person. Plus, we shared the same birthday.

Farrah Fawcett was a gorgeous woman. Like Ed, I didn’t follow much of her work. There was Charlie’s Angels and a few others. Charlie’s Angels and her relationship with Ryan O’Neal is what all I really know about her. I know she has done some great work and that she was all the boys dream girl. I think a lot of boys had her famous poster. I also know that her family and friends love her very much. I am watching Barbara Walters interview with her loved ones right now and it has me crying. You can just see the love that they have for her.

From the news of those deaths comes another blow, the death of Michael Jackson. Michael will forever be the King of Pop. I don’t think there will be any other like him. I grew up listening and dancing to his music like most people. My cousins and I did a dance to Thriller. We were suppose to do the dance and a department store, Shoe Mart, where one my aunts worked. I can’t recall if we ended up doing it or not, but learning that dance was one of my best memories of my childhood. Michael’s death will be one of those events that people will ask years from now, “Where were you when you heard that Michael Jackson died?” My answer: “In the living room with Jagger, watching the news.” Michael has had some problems these past few years, but it doesn’t take away what he has done for the music world.

The rest of the world is crying with you Hollywood.

Let me know what you think.

I bought Britney’s new CD, Circus, the day it came out. I am not ashamed to admit it, I am a big Britney fan and am rooting for her continued recovery. She’s had a tough year and I am proud of how she is working on improving her life. 

Britney’s new CD is what we would expect of Britney. It has both dance music and a few more ballads than her previous albums had. I really like Womanizer, Circus, Out From Under, Unusual You, Blur, My Baby, Mmm Papi, and If You Seek Amy. 

Speaking of If You Seek Amy, I read an article somewhere about a mother who bought her young sons this CD. She bought it because they like her. But she became horrified when she heard her sons singing the chorus. Part of the chorus goes like this, “But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin’ to if you seek Amy”. However if you say it fast enough like Britney does, it sounds like she is saying, “But all of the boys and all of the girls are beggin’ to F.U.C.K. me”.

This is what mother heard her sons say and she got upset. I believed that she said that there should have been a warning label on the CD stating that there are bad words on there. First of all, why would someone buy her young sons a Britney CD? Every parent should know that Britney’s album is not appropriate for any young child. If they were a teenager, then it’s ok I guess, but these were little boys. Second of all, if she read the list of songs before buying it, she should have realized right away that this album is not for her children at all. The titles, Lace and Leather and Mmm Papi should have been a dead give a way that this album was not child appropriate don’t you think? 

There is one song on here that is child appropriate though. It’s the song, My Baby. When I first heard this song, I got a little teary. Britney had written it for her sons. And when I heard it, I could just picture myself holding my soon-to-be-born son and singing this to him.
