Jantré Haskin, Where Are You?

I was raised on the good book Jesus, ’til I read between the lines…

OMFG, this woman is fantastic! (And stunningly beautiful, but that’s beside the point.)

Where is she? Why hasn’t she been signed? Anyone? Bueller?

R.I.P. Ali Akbar Khan (1922-2009)

I know he was Muslim, but he was also Bangladeshi — and when it comes right down to it, death— er, being absorbed into the absolute — is The Great Equalizer, so who cares in the end if I don’t know which language to use? All that matters is, he was brilliant, and his music inspirational beyond words.

So here’s a rough (very rough) translation to Sanskrit:

“Squeaky-Clean Mormon” American Idol Star David Archuleta’s Daddy Busted for Soliciting Hooker (And I’m Not Even Looking for Bad-Mormon Stories Today!)

Honest to goodness, these Bad Mormon stories just keep popping up on their own:

“American Idol” Alum David Archuleta’s Father Busted For Soliciting Prostitute

During a raid in mid-January on a massage parlor in Midvale, Utah, the father of last year’s American Idol runner-up, squeaky-clean Mormon David Archuleta, was arrested by police and charged with prostitute solicitation, a Class B misdemeanor.

According to Us Weekly, Jeff Archuleta, 41, who was the consummate stage dad during his son’s Idol run, has pleaded no contest to the charge, paying a $582 fine following his arrest at an establishment called the Queens of Reiki on January 14th. …

Jeff Archuleta figured prominently in last year’s Idol, with various media outlets reporting throughout the season that he was influencing his son’s song selections. One report claimed Jeff was seen yelling at David following a recording session. Others suggested Archuleta had his son add a lyric from the Sean Kingston song “Beautiful Girls” into a rendition of “Stand by Me,” which upped licensing costs for the show; the move led producers to ban Jeff from backstage rehearsals.

Well, it’s the show’s fault then — it was obviously the stress of being banned backstage that led to his back pain, which led him to seek “legitimate massage therapy” (as Daddy’s lawyer puts it). Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket!

A Little Queenly Sunday Morning Inspiration

I’ve paid my dues
Time after time
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime

And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through

We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the world

I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it’s been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna lose

We are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the world

Wonder(ful) Woman Speaks

“You just can’t pick what it is you want to be the truth. If you want to be a televangelist, fine. You want to talk about faith and glory of God and all the rest of it, great. That’s freedom of religion. But taking my freedom away by moralizing and judging, if that’s the God they believe in, I don’t want any part of it. It’s astonishing to me that the most judgmental people seem to be those who think they speak for God.”

Lynda Carter talks to Metro Weekly — and you’re going to love what she says. You’re also going to be knocked out by the gorgeous pictures:
