It’s safe to say that Mariah Carey and Bristol Palin reacted very differently to Barack Obama announcing his support of gay marriage this week. But while the daughter of a failed Vice Presidential candidate went public with wayward insults of Obama as a father , Glee and Dora the Explorer , Mariah simply went out and partied! Witnesses say Carey showed up at The Abbey Food and Bar in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, dancing the evening away at the gay nightclub with pal B. Scott. “She was very nice and gracious,” an onlooker at the establishment tells People , adding that the deejay recognized her after awhile and started to play some Mariah classics. At this, the ladies simply went “crazy” on the dance floor. Sort of like how Bristol went at Obama’s announcement, only not at all.
Levi Johnston turns 22 years old today. For a brief synopsis of Levi’s short time on this planet, let’s turn it over to his Wikipedia bio, because the facts are funnier than anything we could write: “He first received media attention in August 2008 upon Sarah Palin’s announcement that her daughter Bristol was five months pregnant and that Johnston was the father. Wedding plans were scrapped when the pair broke off their engagement in March 2009.”
‘The tempo and vibe they are coming from is unlike anything else that is happening in bass music right now,’ Skrillex says of Koan Sound. By Akshay Bhansali Kill The Noise Photo: Getty Images What makes Skrillex particularly exciting is his willingness to try new things, much as he did when collaborating with Benny Benassi and Gary Go on their “Cinema” remix, with the remaining members of the Doors on their track “Breaking a Sweat” and with “Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley on the upcoming single “Make It Bun Dem.” His label, OWSLA, has shed light on a versatile collection of non-cookie-cutter EDM rock stars like Porter Robinson, Zedd and Dillon Francis. So when Skrillex recently offered to introduce MTV News to two new acts, we jumped at the opportunity. First up was Jake Stanczak (stage name Kill the Noise). “He’s been DJing for a while now and been in so many different projects in the drum-and-bass scene. I feel like he’s finally found this really incredible sound that’s his own. Not to say that he hasn’t had his sound before.” Kill the Noise has heater remixes for Kanye West and Estelle, Rye Rye, and Yelawolf, and collaborated with Skrillex, 12th Planet, Datsik and Korn, in addition to his own series of successful bass singles. Throughout their friendship, Skrillex has been an ardent supporter of KTN, with OWSLA putting out his last EP, Kill Kill Kill , among other remixes. “We’ve been working hard,” KTN said. “I started sending him demos and then that’s really kind of been my inspiration, is getting feedback from him, and obviously the rest of these guys too,” he said, pointing to Koan Sound beside him. “But Sonny [Skrillex] has really kind of pushed me along.” “And this is Koan Sound,” Skrillex said, indicating Jim Bastow and Will Weeks, a pair of Bristol, U.K., DJ/producers. “Theirs is an exciting, novel form of EDM: It’s funky. It’s hype. And it’s slow. Like, 100bpm-slower-than-Moombahton slow, but in an exceptional way. “They are just so incredibly talented,” Skrillex said. “They come from Bristol. It’s a really musical, kind of artistic city in the U.K., and the tempo and vibe they are coming from is unlike anything else that is happening in bass music right now. … It’s like hip-hop, and it’s slow and it’s got this really fresh vibe, where you can rock a rager and a pool party.” “This is our first real tour in America,” Weeks said of their recent trip to Miami Music Week. “The reception we’ve been getting is pretty amazing. The stuff we released on OWSLA [ Funk Blaster EP] just goes off!” “It’s kind of mind-blowing,” Bastow said. “People recognize it instantly. That always encourages you, when you go to places that you’ve never been before and play to crowds that you’ve never played to before and they already know you’re music.” Fans can expect Skrillex and Damian Marley to release “Make It Bun Dem” soon, and new EPs for both Kill the Noise and Koan Sound will likely be served up by OWSLA this summer. And Skrillex will leave the music completely in the hands of its creators. “I do nothing but make sure their vision is exactly what their vision is,” Skrillex said, “because as soon as you f— with that, [that’s] the minute it’s not what you want them for. Both of these guys, I love them because they are making the tunes they make.” “Honestly, that’s what I love about OWSLA,” Weeks confessed. “Anything I send these guys, they take on board, and they just love anything I send them. I can be as creative as I want to be, which is perfect for being a producer.” Related Artists Skrillex
Not only is Jason Trawick set to marry Britney Spears, he may soon take over for her father in maintaining legal control over her professional affairs. E! News confirms that Spears’ fiance has petitioned to be added by the court as the pop singer’s co-conservator, along with her father Jamie Spears. Jamie has held legal control over Britney since early 2008, when her downward spiral left her incapable of handling her finances or medical decisions. Now Jason Trawick , Britney’s former agent, will be added into the mix, but sources say he will only have control over her well-being, not her money. Britney’s father doesn’t feel like Jason’s treading on his toes or anything like that. In fact, he has been pushing for the court to give him the authority . Some say this could be a sign that the couple’s wedding is around the corner, but the mere fact that they’re engaged may have triggered the move. [Photo: WENN.com]
Levi Johnston may be looking forward to becoming a dad for the second time, but if Bristol Palin’s most recent allegations of him being a deadbeat dad are true, he may want to reconsider how he goes about parenthood. We’ll cut to the chase: Bristol says Levi owes $38,500 in back child support . The daughter of ex-Alaska governor Sarah Palin and two-time ex-fiancee of Levi claims he is required to pay $1,750 a month in support for son Tripp, 3. He allegedly last did so in June 2010 … 22 months ago. As for why Bristol Palin hasn’t tried to enforce the supposed order via wage garnishment or other means to make Levi, who got girlfriend Sunny Oglesby pregnant earlier this year, she says it’s a complicated situation. Ya think? Bristol’s lawyer told TMZ that the younger Palin declined to “pursue child support collection in the (perhaps naive) hope that Mr. Johnston would do what men are supposed to do and pay his support obligation voluntarily.” The lawyer adds, “We were also concerned that garnishment or other aggressive collection efforts could exacerbate an already strained relationship.” Probably true, but there must be more to it. Our first guess: He doesn’t have $1,750/month to spare. It’s Levi Johnston. What does that guy even do? Besides get women pregnant, we mean. We’re talking about for a living. He and Sunny Oglesby confirmed her pregnancy earlier this week after the news leaked … maybe second time’s the charm for the Wasilla Wonder?
Get ready for Sarah Palin vs. Levi Johnston, Round 289! The former V.P. candidate claims her daughter Bristol’s baby daddy is straight up lying with his recent claims that the Palins actively try to keep him from his son. This all started after Johnston got Sunny Oglesby pregnant … and accused Sarah Palin of hatching a plan to block him from Tripp, his three-year-old child with Bristol. Levi’s implied accusation didn’t sit well with Sarah. In response to Levi’s accusations about them, Sarah and Todd Palin issued a statement to TMZ (this story would be funny if it ended right there), saying: “We have never hidden Tripp from Levi or discouraged Levi from spending time with him. Any suggestion we have is false and contrary to our core beliefs.” “The last time either of us recall a conversation with Levi was in the summer of 2010 when Levi sat down at our house with us and personally apologized about the lies he told to the media about our family. Neither of us have talked to him since.” “We’re disappointed that he continues to spread falsehoods to garner media attention. We encourage Levi and all non-custodial fathers to be fully engaged and to positively, fully participate in their children’s lives.” “This includes not making misstatements about his child’s grandparents.” Don’t bet on that. Which side are you on? [Photos: WENN.com]

Now that’s St. Patrick’s Day fashion done right. Kate Middleton continued run of recent royal festivities with her husband away on military duty in the Falkland Islands as she set out to Aldershot, England, to greet and charm the Irish guards on Saturday, March 17. Here’s one of our favorite Kate Middleton photos from the event: Clad in an emerald coat dress cinched at the waist, the lovely Kate accessorized with a brown cap, matching pumps, and a bloom of shamrocks on to her lapel. Kate Middleton also donned a clover pin that once belonged to The Queen Mother, Prince William’s great-grandmother, who passed away in 2002. After presenting soldiers with a basket of shamrocks (a tradition dating back to 1901), the 30-year-old got into the spirit with a sip of Harvey’s Bristol Creme sherry. Her outing also included adorning the Regimental mascot Conmeal (a black dog) with a shamrock on his collar. All in a day’s work for the Duchess! [Photo: WENN.com]
Click the image to watch interview The first thing that I noticed during the beginning of this interview was that Palin’s wig seemed to be sitting too far back on her head. (I assume that Bristol, the ” cosmetologist ,” had trouble wrestling the beast onto Snowdrift Snooki’s pointy dome.) And I may be imagining things, but I swear that it bothered Pirro as well. She seems to shake her OWN hair a few… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Immoral Minority Discovery Date : 29/01/2012 03:55 Number of articles : 2
