Madonna, Maluma, the 'Medellín' Music Video & The Magnificently Messy Live-Stream
Madgeluma are here to take us far, far away from our troubles to a land called Medellín - and not a moment too soon. Following the debut of her Madame X collaboration with the irresponsibly attractive Colombian reggaeton superstar and future father of my children Maluma, Madonna - err, Madame X,…
The Top 60 Songs of 2018
The year is almost over, and I still loathe lists. In fact, I sat down to do this about seven times and simply couldn't do it. So...I won't. And you can't make me! Instead, I'm choosing to take you through a very cool, urban and interesting journey through my favorite songs of the year in no real…
The Top 10 Albums of 2018
Merry Listmas, Merry Britmas and a Happy Hanukkah to you and yours. The year is (mostly) over. Pop music is (mostly) dead. And now, I present to you: the MuuMuse Top 10 of 2018. As a reminder, these are the records that stuck with me throughout the year - for various reasons. I don't care who…
The Rita Ora Album, Ashley Tisdale's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Performance & The Return of Aliana Lohan
...It's been a while. (REFERENCE.) I hope everyone had a lovely and peaceful, turkey-or-alternate-protein-source-filled Thanksgiving break, primarily spent binging It's Britney, Bitch!, the new podcast for stans, by stans, celebrating 20 years of the Living Legend, Miss Britney Jean Spears,…
Madonna's 'Miles Away': 10 Years Later, And Still So Far Away
"You always have the biggest heart when we're six thousand miles apart..." Despite what whoever is running her Twitter account is doing with all these anniversary acknowledgements at the moment, Madonna, Queen of Pop™, isn't one who likes to look in her rearview mirror...unless involved in a car…
The Lady Is a Star: Going Off The Deep End With Gaga
HAAAAOOOAAAAAWAAAHHAAAAAAAHHHHH. I was #blessed to see an advance screening of A Star Is Born this week. Yes, I wore my The Monster Ball Tour tee out of respect. Yes, I'm fully aware that I've had an occasionally...complicated relationship with Lady Gaga, and I've occasionally been more of a Little…
True Life: I'm Obsessed With 'La Casa de Las Flores' (And The Music, Too)
I don't really do television, generally speaking. I'm usually too busy taking selfies at the gym or sorting my Britney CDs in reverse chronological order to get too heavily involved in a series, despite this being The Golden Age of Television or whatever...but I can safely say that I am obsessed…
Happy 60th Birthday, Madonna, Queen of Pop
I do not know what to say on a day like today, a religious observance, in celebration (REFERENCE) of the 60th anniversary of the birth of Her Madgesty, but I’ll try. Has a day gone by when I DON’T think about Madonna? The reinventions, the fashions, the performances, the fans - speaking of:…
Discipline, Drinking & How Janet Jackson Helped Me Get It Together Again: Part II
Note to my readers: this is a little more personal (raw), as Lindsay Lohan would say. "Three months and I'm still sober," the one, true American Idol sang on her middle finger-to-Clive Davis 2007 opus, My December. And, like...same. I still haven't had a drink yet, y'all. Like, at all. If you were…
Madonna Is Disillusioned, Disconnected & (Still) Tired of Waiting on You
Feeling depressed? Stressed? Irritated? Madonna, Queen of Pop™ and #Relatable Content, is too. The "Love Tried to Welcome Me" icon is hard at work juggling her duties as a Portuguese soccer mom, a MDNA Skin peddler alongside a problematic, meme-stealing Fat Jew, and a musician recording her…
Discipline, Drinking & How Janet Jackson Helped Me Get It Together Again
Note to my readers: this is a little more personal (raw), as Lindsay Lohan would say. During the last weekend of March, I spent my Saturday night out doing the usual: bar-hopping from Brooklyn to Manhattan, drinking to near blackout excess. Some portions of the night are still hazy. (Very "Blur.")……
Ayumi Hamasaki, Gay Icon, Performs at 2018 Tokyo Rainbow Pride
When it comes to Gay Icons™, I count a fair share of the usual suspects as my own: Madonna, Britney Spears, The Sisters Minogue. Perhaps you've heard of a few of them. But I also grew up hovering in the fan forums of pop stars from across the world in Japan and South Korea - something that I've…
