Good Charlotte's "Cardiology" Available for Pre-Order on ITunes Now, Plus 30 Second Previews of Every Song




Good Charlotte's next album, "Cardiology", won't be available for purchase until November 2nd, but you can pre-order it for $9.99 on Itunes now. Along with pre-ordering it, you can also hear a 30 second preview of each song. Check out my review of the songs below:

1. Introduction to Cardiology-Typical intro for Good Charlotte. Mainly instrumental with a few words. Sounds very similar to the intro's on all of the other albums.

2. Let the Music Play-Benji's favorite song off of the album. I Loveeeee this one as well! Reminds me of the stuff from "Young and Hopeless", parts almost sound a bit like "Hold On" mixed with some Blink-182. I can definitely see this one becoming a successful single.

3. Counting the Days-My favorite song from the new album so far. Good Charlotte released this song early, so it will probably be a single. Reminds me of the stuff from their first two albums.

4. Silver Screen Romance- Sounds more punk and less pop-punk then most of their stuff. Love it. Might be most similar to the stuff from their first cd, but it's hard to make a comparison. They don't have many songs with this kind of sound. It's really nice.

5. Like it's Her Birthday-Good Charlotte's current single. Amazing, but the album has even better songs.

6. Last Night-Slightly more dancey than the other tracks. Reminds me of the stuff from their last album. Good, but not my favorite.

7. Sex On the Radio-Reminds me of stuff from the first album. Love it. I can see this as being a successful single. The lyrics are fun and catchy.

8. Alive- Love it. Kind of a different sound for them. Very alternative.

9. Standing Ovation-Kind of has the same sound as "Motivation Proclamation", but not quite as good. Good, but not the best.

10. Harlow's Song-One of the slower songs on the album. It almost sounds sad. Sound is a cross between "Chronicles" and "Good Morning Revival".

11. Interlude-The Fifth Chamber-Very similar to the introduction.

12. 1979-One of my favorite ones from the album. Reminds me of the stuff from "Young and Hopeless". Very fun song.

13. There She Goes-See above.

14. Right Where I Belong- Not as slow as "Harlow's Song", but slower than some of the others. Similar to a few of the more upbeat songs on "Chronicles".

15. Cardiology-Slower. Reminds me of some of the stuff from "Good Morning Revival".

16. Crash-Sounds like stuff from the first album. Very alternative feel to it.


It looks like the new album is going to be amazing! They are going back to their main roots and it definitely still works! This may just be their best album yet!!

Have you listened to the previews yet? Which songs are your favorites? Are you planning on pre-ordering the album?

David Arquette and Courtney Cox and Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman Add Their Names to List of Failed Marriages



A couple years ago the big trend with celebrities was having babies. That seemed to shift over the past year or so to weddings. Now, it only makes sense for celebrities to dabble in the art of divorce.

This trend seems to be relatively new, but is taking off fast. Yesterday Courtney Cox and David Arquette announced the end of their 11 year marriage amidst a cheating scandal involving Arquette. Today, Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman announced that they were separating after 5 years of marriage. No reason has yet been cited, but the couple has stated that they intend on remaining friends for the sake of their son, Max. Sympathy seems to be absent after hearing the news of all of these divorces. Instead, many are left with two questions:

1. Who's going to be next?

and

2. Where's the love?

Justin Bieber Embrances His Feminine Side With New Nail Polish Line


Justin Bieber recently announced his plans to partner up with the popular nail polish brand, OPI's Nicole. The line will be called "One Less Lonely Girl" and will be sold by Walmart beginning in December, just in time for Christmas. After the holiday season the nail polish will be made more readily available at Target, Sears, and Ulta.

The colors will have names based on the pop star's songs. The colors are as followed:

One Less Lonely Glitter-Lavender
Prized Possession (Purple)
Give Me the First Dance (Silver)
Me + Blue (Dark Blue)

No price has been released for these nail polishes yet, but OPI's Nicole Nail polishes usually run between $7-$8 per bottle.

Are you planning on purchasing Justin Bieber nail polish? If so, which colors are you most excited to try?

The whole Justin Bieber nail polish line is a little too weird for me to comprehend. I think there's a point in time where you need to draw the line for which products to endorse, and for Bieber, this is one of those times. I wonder if Bieber will get caught wearing his own nail polish. It wouldn't surprise me, I mean, he already sings like a girl, why not look like one too?

Miley Cyrus Recieves Backlash for Sexy New Music Video


Miley Cyrus recently debuted a new music video for her new single, "Who Owns My Heart?", and if you thought her "Can't Be Tamed", video was bad, that's nothing compared to this!

The video features a scantily clad Cyrus laying on a bed, seemingly inviting a lover over for sex. The video then shifts to a bathroom scene with a less-than-half dressed Cyrus leaning against the tub. This part of the video reminds me of Britney Spears' "Every time" video, not good, considering shortly after Spears shot that video she suffered from a major breakdown.

Following the bathroom scene Cyrus goes clubbing and is seen making out with and being grouped by several men and women. The video repeats all three scenes various times.

Let me remind you that Miley Cyrus is 17---still a minor.

Many parents and groups are outraged over Cyrus' sexy, possibly R rated music video.

The Parents Television Council has stated their disgust. They are particularly disappointed that Cyrus would choose to behave this way when she knows that a majority of her fan base is made up of young kids.

The video can be seen below:



What do you think of Cyrus' new music video? Is it too sexy for a 17 year old? Do you agree with The Parents Television Council, or do you think everyone is just over-reacting?
