B-52s All Grown Up

In the late 80s and 90s, Fred Schneider and his new wave band, The B-52s, were able to score some mainstream success with hits like ‘Love Shack’ and ‘Roam’. If B-52s means you look like you’re 52 years old, then it’s pretty accurate. The 56-year old musician was recently spotted at a New York City screening on Thursday. He looked… nice.

The B-52s are reportedly releasing a new album called ‘Funplex’ in March. It will be their first original album in 16 years. If you have no idea who they are and what they sound like, Parliament Funkadelic has referred to The B-52s as “P-Funk for white people”.

Paula Abdul Comeback


Paula Abdul once said that she was not going to do a comeback and was just doing one song for a good friend. But now that she’s gotten a taste of the solo spotlight again, she realized just how much she missed it and wants more.

The ‘Straight Up’ singer has not released an album in over 10 years but she has since announced on her official website that she is working on a new CD. The site promises that a new Paula Abdul album will be coming out in the summer of this year. If he does it right, it may actually be good. I’ll hold my breath when it comes to promoting it with her performances though.

New Kids on the Block

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The New Kids on the Block are FINALLY staging a comeback. For those of you too young to understand, think N’Sync coming back in another 10 years.

The band’s website had previously been pretty much inactive, but now there’s a video from back in the day and a place to sign up for info on their comeback. It’s been 14 years since the band was together, and ladies in their late 20s/early 30s are gonna be lining up for this album.

Look out because I’m the biggest Joey Mc fan there is!

Paula Abdul’s New Song

While it’s being reported that Paula Abdul is going to perform at this year’s Super Bowl, it is also being said that the once singer is not planning a musical comeback. She just did the one-off song for her fellow American Idol judge Randy Jackson’s new album. And I hate to say it, but it’s actually really good. It’s called ‘Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow’. Her vocals may have been manipulated beyond belief and the song sounds like something that should have been on Britney’s last album or Janet’s new one. They may even play this on the radio! But during the Super Bowl? No thanks.

Janet Jackson on Billboard

Janet Jackson is looking smoking hot as she graces the cover of the new Billboard magazine. No one can look quite as classy and sassy as Miss Jackson can. The cover makes a great point too. “With a new label, a new outlook and a new single on the charts, Ms. Jackson is poised for success.”

However, not everyone seems to think so. Despite ‘Feedback’ being a great single, it really isn’t selling that well or performing amazingly on the charts. I’m not quite sure why. Maybe she just took too long to make her comeback. Or maybe Janet fans need to step it up a notch or two.
