Rachel Set for a comeback?
On a blog I frequent I read a post that pop princess Rachel Stevens is set for a comeback and is busy recording new tracks. See article below:
Rachel Stevens/Recording a comeback album!
Posted on 13.2.10 at 8:24 PM.
Rachel Stevens will be back this year with new album. Rachel has started recording her comeback album, follow-up to 2005-release "Come and Get it" just this year but it's all going down so well according to team behind it. Jewels & Stone, the first producer confirmed for the album project, has said that the album "sounds superb" so far. The official news should be on the way soon, as the team behind the project are preparing official statements.
Rachel is best known from her hits such as "Sweet Dreams my La ex", "Some Girls" and "So Good". She has released two studio albums.

Toni Braxton new single
Gotta give it up to Ms. Toni, she's coming back with some fever for the kids, hot new look (I swear she doesn't age) hot new sound and on a hot new label, this new single is really catchy and I have to say it is targeted to all you club kids out there, I have to find a link for you to hear it, I love love her energy I really hope when her album drops in May it is a huge success since she's been out of the game for a minute, a much welcome return. Cheers Ms. Braxton (or whatever her married name is, if she's still married).

I came across this article while checking one of my many email accounts (actually not that many, just one I check seldom) anyway without getting off point, this is about a law in Uganda which is disgusting and just something that makes me happy to live in a country where people are at least a little more tolerant and while there are miles to go in terms of equal rights, it is not as oppressive as certain territories, there is a petition so please take the time to read this and sign it:
Have you heard about the brutal new anti-gay law in Uganda?
A bill in the Ugandan parliament proposes life imprisonment for anyone convicted of having same-sex relations and imposes the death penalty for "serial offenders."1 NGO employees working to prevent the spread of HIV could be imprisoned for up to 7 years for "promoting homosexuality." Even members of the public face up to three years in jail if they fail to report homosexual activity to the police within 24 hours!
The bill had been delayed because of some initial international criticism. But after a well-funded and vicious lobbying effort by extremists, it now looks set to be passed—threatening widespread persecution and bloodshed.
With the decision expected in days, only an irresistible wave of worldwide pressure will be enough to save the lives of gay people in Uganda.
So our friends at Avaaz are organizing a new international petition to stop the gay death law. Will you join in? Clicking here will add your name:
MoveOn.org Political Action: Stop the Gay Death Law in Uganda
The petition says, "We stand with citizens across Uganda who are calling on their government to withdraw the Anti-Homosexual Bill, and to protect the universal human rights embodied in the Ugandan constitution. We urge Uganda's leaders and donors to join us in rejecting persecution and upholding values of justice and tolerance."
The petition will be delivered to President Museveni, members of the review committee and Ugandan embassies worldwide this week—before it's too late—as well as to key donor governments.
Ugandan gay rights advocate Frank Mugisha writes, "This law will put us in serious danger. Please, sign the petition and tell others to stand with us—if there's a huge global response, our government will see that Uganda will be internationally isolated by the proposed law, and strike it down."
The bill's advocates claim that it defends national culture, but its strongest critics come from within Uganda. The Reverend Canon Gideon Byamugisha is one of many who have written to Avaaz. He says:
"It is violating our cultures, traditions and religious values that teach against intolerance, injustice, hatred and violence. We need laws to protect people—not ones that will humiliate, ridicule, persecute and kill them en masse."
By rejecting this dangerous bill and supporting the breadth of opposition to it, we can help set a crucial precedent. Let's build massive support for Uganda's human rights defenders, and save lives by stopping this bill.

Untitled
there are moments of azure clarity, where crystalline recollection come flooding back to me like the torrential memory of a long forgotten dream, there are those moments that in an instant are over but last a lifetime. When dreams have faded to embers of the deep red pathos of an existence too wild, too rampant it would burn that which it entices and consumes that which it knows no bounds, I love, I love, I love yet I am without.
-Don Shomari
MTV no longer about music
So tell me something I don't already know, this channel hasn't been (sadly) about music in a long time and now they're hyping it up with a press release and logo change, yawn. Rest in peace music videos, and a once stellar channel.
