BROWN RELEASED ON $50,000 BAIL OVER ALLEGED FELONY BATTERY
R&B singer CHRIS BROWN has been freed on bail following police talks in connection to an alleged domestic violence felony battery, according to U.S. reports.
The 19 year old posted $50,000 (�34,250) bail on Sunday (08Feb09) evening, according to FOXNews.com.
It follows an incident in the early hours of Sunday morning in which Brown and an unidentified woman were involved in a heated row in a vehicle in Los Angeles.
According to a police report, “After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker.”
Police received a 911 call reporting the disturbance. When officers arrived they found the victim, but Brown had already left the scene.
Brown turned himself in to cops at a Los Angeles police station later on Sunday.
According to law enforcement records, Brown was taken into custody at 6:30 p.m. and was officially booked at 7:41 p.m. for making criminal threats.
Brown posted the bail amount and was released at 8:35 p.m., reports People.com.
On Saturday night (07Feb09), Brown and girlfriend Rihanna - who were both scheduled to perform at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday (08Feb09) - attended music mogul Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy Gala in Beverly Hills.
Both stars cancelled their appearances at the big show.
Police are refusing to identify the woman involved in the drama

A talented yound Idol

A cute face, a soulful voice, a huge fan base, but does he have what it takes to be successful in the entertainment world? Here's a track-to-track review of David Archuleta self-titled debut album.

1. Crush (J. Cates/D. Hodges/E. Kiriakou)

> I don't think I need to say much about this song coz everyone knows how great this 1st single is by now.

2. Touch My Hand (W. Wilkins/S. Kipner/S. McEwan)

> OMG, I had goosebumps the 1st time I listen to this song. Definitely my favourite track from the album. LOVE IT!

3. Barriers (W. Wilkins/S. Kipner/S. McEwan)

> These trio really know how to compose a good song coz this track is really great too. A little bit weird at chorus the 1st time I heard it but definitely one of the best track from the album.

4. My Hands (E. Kiriakou/J. Fauntleroy III/Z. Bey)

> I like it but David sounds a little out of breath when singing this. Still, he delivers. Great job!

5. A Little Too Not Over You (D. Archuleta/M. Krompass/M. Gerrard/R. Nevil)

> I'm surprised David Archuleta co-wrote this, it just proved how talented he is. It's a really good song. I keep playing it in my head. A catchy & friendly song that easy to sing-along to.

6. You Can (A. Armato/T. James)

> A nice ballad. I really like the chorus.

7. Running (K. Risto/W. Nugent/D. Torimiro/J. Fauntleroy III/S. Russell)

> A nice song but I must say that it's 1 of my least favourite track from the album.

8. Desperate (A. Carlsson/D. Child/A. Rethwisch/K. Rethwisch)

> I felt really strange and little bit awkward at first listening to David Archuleta saying 'desperate' a few times during the chorus but after awhile, I don't really bother coz the music is good. I really love the music especially during the 1st verse.

9. To Be With You (E. Kiriakou/K. DioGuardi)

> Another ballad, and a nice 1 too. With Kara DioGuardi as the background vocal, it really sounds like a duet. Well, I'd wish it was a duet coz I think it will sound great.

10. Don't Let Go (JC Chasez/J. Harry/D. Archuleta)

> Another song co-wrote by David Archuleta. A nice song but 1 of my least favourite track from the album. Sorry....

11. Your Eyes Don't Lie (A. Armato/T. James/D. Karaoglu)

> A very unique song. Love the whistling sound. It made the song sounds like it was taken from a country album. Did I mention unique?

12. Angels (A. Chambers/R. Williams)

> Yes, a cover song.It's one of the hits from Robbie Williams. It really suits with David Archuleta's voice. I love it! Actually, I'm already bored with the song but with David singing it, I'm willing to hear it again.

So basically that was what I feel about each track in the album. I'm a little bit disappointed though that there are no lyrics included in the leaflet. I would love to sing along to many of the songs. The inside leaflet had several (cute) pics of David including a big pic of him on the other side that could be considered a mini poster and thank you notes. It also listed several of his websites, all 3 of them. Just click here, here and here to go there.

As a conclusion, this album is not just for the 'Archies' or 'Arch Angels' (as what his fans called themselves) but also for those who are not his fans but enjoy good pop music. You should give it a try if you love pop songs coz I believe this David would be a master of it.

Disaster or beauty?

I think I should continue my review of America's Next Top Model Cycle 11, it's already been too long since my last post. So here's what I think of the contestants' performances in the photo shoot of episode 6.

In this episode, the models had to portray different types of LA disasters. Analeigh was Santa Ana winds, Clark was blackout, Elina was earthquake, Joslyn was rockslide, Lauren Brie was snowstorm, Marjorie was traffic jam, McKey was heat wave, Samantha was tidal wave and Sheena was sandstorm.

My favourite pics for this episode are from McKey and Elina. McKey was super-hot (she was portraying heat wave so that's kinda suit her) and Elina was gorgoeus, a little stiff but gorgeous. I like the intensity in her eyes.

'Heat Wave' McKey

'Earthquake' Elina

I think these girls were doing okay too; Analeigh, Samantha and Sheena. Samantha was highly praised by the judges for her pic and she was called first after almost being eliminated the previous week.

'Tidal Wave' Samantha

'Santa Ana Winds' Analeigh

'Sandstorm' Sheena

Clark and Joslyn were in the bottom two and Clark was eliminated. I always knew Clark couldn't win this competition (sorry for all Clark fans). Although she was called first in the previous week for that fierce pic of her (I must admit, she really deserved it for such a stunning photo) but the rest of her pics were kinda mediocre. I didn't expect her to be eliminated this week though because I think Joslyn's pic was worse than her, so it was kinda shocking to me.

'Blackout' Clark

You'll never know who will be eliminated next. Like Clark for instance, the previous week she was on top of the pack, the next week she was sent home. I bet she didn't see that coming. Poor Clark. But hey, at least she got her pic displayed in the house once.

At last! I'm a PS2 owner!

Finally! On 24th of January 2009, I had officially became a PS2 owner! I had a long break from office for Chinese New Year so my cousins and I, along with my little sister, went for a PS2 hunt at a shopping mall to find the best bargain.

I was so excited to finally have my own PS2. I had been dreaming for it for years now and finally that dream came true. I know it's not a big deal to most of you. Some of you may already have a game console in your living room since the day it was released and some of you may even have every game consoles in the market in your living room right now. And maybe some of you don't even bother to have one because for you, it's just a game console, nothing more. But for me, it's such a big deal because I love video games so much but was unable to buy one before because of so many problems, primarily because of financial status. So to finally have one, it's like...YAY! I hope you guys get what I mean. Haha!

Anyway, I'm sorry again for not updating my blog regularly like I used to. Hopefully I will post more posts in the future. Till then, tata!

Miley Cyrus: Low-Key at LAX

Doing her best to stay under the paparazzi radar, Miley Cyrus was spotted at LAX International Airport yesterday (February 1).

The “Hannah Montana” hottie sported a black v-neck top with black stretch pants and Sherpa-lined boots as she ducked inside a private room.


In related news, it sounds like Miley has a new ride- she told fans on MileyWorld that she’s currently rolling around town in a new Toyota Prius, a gift from her father Billy Ray.

She revealed, “I’m gonna get Hello Kitty floor mats,” adding that the car is “good for the environment and adorable.”

Speaking of Billy Ray, Miss Cyrus credits him for keeping the shutterbugs at bay. In a recent report she gushed, “He is protective of all of us, because he loves us. He particularly gets upset when paparazzi always try to get my picture. It’s because I’m his little girl. Once I saw him get upset with one guy. He was saying ‘Dude, not cool, not cool.’ The guy was so apologetic, going ‘Sorry Mr Cyrus, sorry.’”

Still waiting for Harry

Yes, I'm still patiently waiting for Harry Potter new movie to come out. What a long wait. Well, to keep me (and you too perhaps) company, I have here another trailer of Half Blood Prince. I had posted one trailer before, if you want to watch it, please dig for it in the movie labels.

So, here it is (thanx IGN). It has already been online for quite some time, so most of you would probably have watched it. But I hope you would still enjoy it. ;-P

We're still waiting for you Harry! Come back soon!

Happy Chinese New Year 2009!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! It's the time of the year for fire crackers, lion dance, Mandarin oranges, ang pow and delicious delicacies. It's the year of the Ox (my year!) so hopefully I'll be getting more fortune this year. Haha! Celebrate this joyous event with family and friends and may this year brings you more luck and prosperity. Adios!
