Jesus, this is painful to sit through. Winehouse stumbles through the title track of her second album with amateurish, off-key rambles, awkward dance moves, and a general dazed look in her eyes. Granted, none of it was too far from normal for her, but this was clearly far from her best day. You’d think by […]

Meeting of the mind: Robert Plant and Jessica Simpson

I cannot fathom what these two would have to chat about, and Plant’s expression is astounding. He looks as though he’s fully aware how irretrievably […]
