"Just in!" - MTV VMA's 2013 The Nominations are out!

I am, just like Kathy Griffin, a huge fan of a things award show. I mean as log as there are people nominated that I love and which I respect as an artist. So here are the nominations and my prediction of who is going to win! So lets start the Icon Art Marilyn VMA 2013 prediction.

This years VMA's are on the 25th of August and they have changed the moon man, which I like very much, since it is more edgy and fun! Check it out online and look at the great logo of this years VMA's. And here are the categories!

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Wanz, "Thrift Shop"

Bruno Mars, "Locked Out of Heaven"

Robin Thicke feat. T.I. and Pharrell, "Blurred Lines"

Drake, "Started From The Bottom"

Kendrick Lamar, "Swimming Pools"

Lamar running away with that.

So this are the most important ones for me, check out the others here.

"Just in!" - HBO decides: True Blood will...

... go on! The official True Blood account on Facebook posted the following picture and announced that True Blood will be renewed for a seventh season!

Picture belongs to HBO.

 So lets call it True Blood Day on Icon Art Marilyn! We are so excited!

"Music Minute" - She is back, massively!

Yeah she did it again, and whooped our sweet little asses by just releasing one photograph and some info referring to the release of ARTPOP. Of course we talk Gaga here. Whom else? Interesting is that Mother Monster, despite all the criticism she get from all over the place sometimes, really has been desperately missed!

MTV entitles that with the info about ARTPOP Gaga has been re-entered the music business and I quote "Gaga comes back to save pop... again!" If that is not a bitch slap in many artists faces! And they do right! I mean she has been absent for about 150 days and during this time period kept quite a low profile. Nearly no Twitter and no performances: well it is called recovery. But during this phase, and I quote once more:

 "And when her activity stopped, so did the endless font of over-the-top proclamations, out-there fashions, and outspoken support of worthwhile causes. In short, she went silent, and whether you like her or not, you've got to admit that the entire music biz — and pop music in particular — has been pretty boring because of that."

So say what you want but not only MTV is hungry for Gaga to slay the charts with ARTPOP but also many others. You want prove? There you got some! And by the way: Yes pop music needs to be rescued once again, rescued from dull and boring sounds and not innovative artists.

"Just in!" & "Music Minute" - The Queen is back, well sort of!

Yes you red it right, the queen of pop music and philantopist queen of the gays (Sorry Kathy Griffin, but you are the "Comedy Queen of the Gays") Lady Gaga is back again! When it comes to her gays Gaga breaks her media hiatus and takes n her twitter to tweet against DOMA!

Yesterday the fierce fashion forward musician and performer took the stage at a NYC pride event and hold a speech in favor of the LGBT IQA community in which she said to the attending people:

"We are not a niche. We are a huge part of humankind. It is time for us to be mainstream. I demand rights! Enough is enough!" 

In my mind I am already imagining the posters for the next presidential election in the states with "Gaga/RuPaul for President!" I'm living it. And of course the Lady has not just left the stage without giving a little performance. So she took the mic and sang "The Star Spangled Banner" in such a beautiful way, that proves she has been doing some voice exercising! Halleluja! (Watch her performance of the national anthem below this post!)

Another nice thing to know about our Lady in charge is that the annual Forbes list of the most powerful musicians has come out. And the outcome is great since Gaga came out: on top! And what better than that? Forbes ensures their readers that, even though she had to cancel some shows, the Born This Way Ball had grossed about 168 million $ and would have easily earned over 200 million $ is Gaga were not to cancel the other ones, du to the hip surgery she had to undergo. Even better though are the news that her twitter followers (38 million) and her Facebook likes (58 million) have gained her some respect and that everyone over at Forbes awaits ARTPOP to be released in the fall of 2013! Isn't that great?

Gossip allegedly has said that Lady Gaga has rented a luxurious apartment in Manhattan which she furnished with designer furniture matching her taste. The apartment is said to have about 184 meters square, 2 bedrooms, a huge kitchen (Since we know you are Italian, Gaga!), a fire place and a huge terrace with an absolutely amazing view over central park. This kind of apartment is going to be expensive as hell since living space in Manhattan is like a Kardashian with a huge IQ. Right: nearly not possible to find! She is said to pay about 15.000 € rent per month! Gaga, you better work and by that apartment after you released ARTPOP!

So now, enjoy Gaga's performance of "The Star Spangled Banner":

"Just in!" - Victory against DOMA

Rejoice with joy LGBT IQA community. After that shitty Prop8 has terrorized brave LGBT IQA members of America. Then DOMA popped up and has threatened everyone as well, so the Supreme Court had to make some decisions.

And the fact is that these supreme court people have taken a step into the right direction and have made some wise decisions by striking DOMA, the Defense Of  Marriage Act, down!  Just the sheer thought of them making a step recognizable like the end of racial segregation. And in 40 years people will say that it was about time and that they can not understand why this has not taken place earlier, since it was 2013!

So celebrate the end of DOMA and if you can marry in you state in the US, and you happened to be a member of the LGBT IQA community, go and get the fuck married! (And yes, I know I am late to that party!)

"Just in!" - #BungaNoMore Berlusconi, we have had it with you!

This is such a great day for women, democrats and people who care about Italy and Europe. I mean seriously this way so overdue!

A milan court has finally come to make a decree about the case of former italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. The 76 year old politician, rich men and, lets call him, not very lovely person has faced court in first instance and has lost the case. He was accused of having sex with a minor woman known to the press as Ruby. Also he was indicted for abuse of authority. And even though the decree was only first instance and his lawyers are able to go in appeal, it is a first step into the right direction. He was sentenced to be incarcerated seven years and is no longer allowed to take any position in office. 

Truth be told:  I don't think he will ever get into prison, but I hope the denial to take office in any official position will not be overturned. But I think we all should celebrate that this dickbag has finally gotten some borders! This is a good day for women and supporters of women as well since this prick of a man was an absolute sexist pig. Allegedly! 

"Just in!" & "Music Minute" - Dancing with Miley, or with Molly?

"So la la li la di, we like to party, dancing with _____!" So fill in the blank, because apparently Miley Cyrus has caused it that all the media is going nuts about this "fill in the blank line" from her latest single "We Cant Stop" which I have already written about on Icon Art Marilyn. The thing that is so terrifying is that Miley could either have sung dancing with Miley, or with Molly!

Music Video still  belongs to RCA Records.

Oh yes Molly! For those of you who don't know what "Dancing with Molly" means here is your definition: Dancing with Molly means that you take ecstasy and then go party while you are high. Uhm, Im sorry but that is just so.... not shocking for me. Oh my god She has said it! If I remember correctly Madonna has also at some point in some song referenced the drug, and Miley says that in the song she sings "Dancing with Miley" so calm the fuck down! I mean really? She just sings it, and that does not mean that you will find her stuffing ecstasy into her body 24/7 and being a drug addicted mess. And do you really think that this will increase the use of ecstasy, and make everyone that hears the sing and knows the meaning of "Molly" go and have some? B*tch please!

Its time that a sentence just is a sentence because my counter says I have listened to the song or over 70 times by now and I certainly don't feel the urge to go and have a dance with Molly! I have to say that this is a song about party and in such a song of course there will be made some references, but hello: the song is called "We  Cant Stop"! Irony? And the heat Miss Cyrus gets for that is just a result of (1) the fact that she is a former Disney pinky pie sweetheart and (2) that some stupid people thing all the kids will be "mollying" it up due to that song. I mean, get real! Most of the kids listening to that might not even know that Molly is not just a name. And on the other hand side, you know that all of them papers and magazines hating on her will make her song go through the roof!

So get over it and TWERK!

"Just in!" - Lady Gaga going to be announced Rolling Stones "Woman of the Year 2013"

Okay this is hot of the presses! Some bird has announced something concerning the reigning queen of pop: Lady Gaga, or as you may call her Lady - Fucking - Wins - Everything. Okay the thing is that this is some hot Twitter shit, and by Twitter shit  I am throwing Icon Art Marilyn's Twitter account a lifeline, so go and follow that! But back to the point:

On Twitter, Lady Gaga Fan Account, @LadyGagaNowNet has made a huge announcement that, get your diapers on little monsters before you pee yourself, the Lady is going to be announced as "Woman of the Year 2013" and be featured on the cover of the, guess which month, september issue! I guess "Rolling Stone" knows something we don't. Might Gaga be coming back in August or so? Maybe with a new single or even the Album ARTPOP? We will have to wait for it, or some other bird to spill!

So see the Tweet here, and no, it's no fake!

Just in! - Hiatus Break - Willam Belli is the best ever!

If Willam Belli comments on something that you wrote about her, you mist have (a) done something right and/or (b) pissed her off a little. I think I did both , but we all know this comment of hers proves im right. 

Just in! - German Constitution Court decides on same sex civil union tax case!

You know I am a huge supporter of the LGBT IQA cause in every country on this planet! Today I received message that finally some decision has been made in Germany concerning taxes in civil unions.

Take a deep breath German members of the LGBT IQA community! You are now finally recognized, even if it took so much effort to get through just with this small topic!  The thing in Germany is that gay and lesbian people con form civil unions. These provide not the same amount of rights and social securities as marriage does. And in the effort to make the union more like marriage and make equality spread its wings there has been a huge effort to at least make the civil union equal to marriage when it comes to taxes. Because people living in civil unions in Germany are not allowed to make tax breaks like married people. 

But today the German Constitution Court in Karlsruhe decided that it is unconstitutional to deny people in civil unions to break taxes. The court decided its decision upon the german basic law, which states in §3 that all people are equal. So the tax discrimination is unconstitutional.

Not only is this a huge step into the direction of equality but also a huge rebuke for the German conservative party CDU/CSU and chancellor Angela Merkel. It is not about a small thing anymore, not something about lowering taxes for hotel owners and not about the regulations concerning traffic states Christop Herwatz from n-tv.de. And I can only say that I for 100% support that opinion. Now it is up fro the German government to make this decision into a law, and get one step closer to equality! 

I watch it, so should you! & Just in! - Machete Kills starring Denny Trejo, Sofia Vergara, Charlie Sheen, Amber Heard and Lady Gaga

I have been waiting with such excitement for this to happen since I saw Machete. I am such a huge fan of Robert Rodriguez movie "Machete" and the sequel in wait has made me nuts forever. When last year they released the first character posters i knew the wait would be over in some time.

And finally there is some low quality snippet of what could be a trailer for "Machet Kills"! I am so extra excited that I could watch it, could just shit my pants, could watch it again and shit my pants again! Not only is this so exciting because I love the Machete franchise but also to see such huge female, strong starpower again! We have the wonderful Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara, Aber Heard, Zoe Salandra, Vanessa Hudgens, Alexa Vega and the queen of pop Lady Gaga! So watch the "trailer" here! 

So now gag on the 3 stills I made! And let me tell you I so am going to watch this movie like 5 times in cinema!

Just in! - Say no to Abercrombie and Fitch!

This is just in and I do not really know to express how in shock I am about what the owner of Abercrombie and Fitch has said today about women and sizes. He said that women with the size "L" are not wanted in their stores. They don't want women of that size to wear their clothing. Besides that this is discriminating this is also sexist. So act along and do it like me: Write a protest mail and unfollow them on twitter, facebook, google plus and all other networks Also stop buying from them. Their clothes are ugly and from bad quality anyways!
