Sony Sales Still Sinking

This greasy old gangster (Howard Stringer)

Today, vile Sony announced another massive sales decline, this time they've posted their fourth straight quarterly loss of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Everything that can go wrong with this company has and they are resorting to unsavory, inauthentic tactics to inflate and prop up their stock price that is sure to burn investors when the house of cards comes crashing down.

They've fired scores and scores of people, closed offices and factories, trimmed product lines and yet they are still hemorrhaging money. Good times.

That's what you get for being lazy losers that steal everything under the sun and see the way to financial prosperity as trying to murder off black musicians that have substantial copyrighted catalogs.

Stealing copyrights that were to benefit AIDS and Cancer patients are about as low as one can go in this life. God have mercy on your souls. This is one battle you are not going to win.

Disgusting Megan Fox Quotes

Actress Megan Fox has issued a spate of terrible, disgusting quotes, sure to repulse just about anyone. Why she continues to engage in this self-defeating madness, is anyone's guess.

For example, Fox stated regarding her hygiene habits, she will doo doo in other people's toilets and not flush. How charming (not). Megan, contrary to the arrogance you clearly believe, scientifically speaking, your doo doo does stink. Hence, your movie "Jennifer's Body" flopping.

Side Bar: isn't it amazing how mindless Megan Fox and pervy director Michael Bay love to joke about things others find no humor in, such as life threatening aneurysms and suicide (see article excerpt below). Then, they wonder why people think they are weird jerks.

Side Bar 2: you know what's sad and funny at the same time, if Bay actually followed through on blogger's wishes of having a Transformer robot step on Megan Fox's character in the next film, effectively squishing her, thereby writing her out of the franchise, audience would laugh and not cry, as the public has so soured on her as a person.

Megan Fox sucking it up for next 'Transformers'

Oct 21, 2009, 15:26 GMT - ...Fox's greatest hits were compiled by PopEater for posterity:

On her toilette habits: "I'm horrible to live with ... My clothes end up wherever I take them off. I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me, "Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn't flush." - FHM

On Stage Fright: "Every time I go on stage - instant diarrhea." - Cosmo

And Acting: "We actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross." -- British GQ

And on Michael Bay: "He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation ... He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work [for]." -- Wonderland

On the "sense" of Transformers: "I'm in the movie and I read the script and I watched the movie and I still didn't know what was happening," Fox said. "I don't know how you saw it in IMAX without having a brain aneurysm or at least a migraine headache!"

Previously we posted an open letter posted on Michael Bay's blog from his crew members, Fox was called "dumb as a rock."

PopEater reports that for the third 'Transformers' installment, Bay made nice and posted this on his blog:

"P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you."...

Megan Fox is Now Grateful to Michael Bay

Posted: October 20th, 2009 - Now that Michael Bay has announced that "Transformers 3" is in the works and that he will bring back Megan Fox, the actress has decided to stop making comments that have previously got her into trouble with the director, like comparing him to Hitler...

She added: "The movie took me out of obscurity and gave me a career, and I'm completely grateful to everyone involved with this franchise."

Why the change of tune? Maybe it has something to do with "Jennifer's Body" bombing, causing Fox to worry about her career.

It was recently reported that Michael Bay is considering killing off Fox's character during the early minutes of "Transformers 3" to replace her with another good looking girl. After Fox's Spike TV comments, Bay may just let her live.

Chris Brown’s Fan Appreciation Tour

Chris Brown

Disgraced R&B singer Chris Brown is embarking on a fan appreciation tour, which I find hilarious. He is essentially going on the road, to promote his single and forthcoming CD, whilst charging his audience money to see him perform live.

However, he’s supposedly doing so, because he appreciates his audience and deems this a thank you to them. I think it is the other way around. Dude should have named it what it really is, “The Please Save My Career Tour.”

Rihanna

Tell the truth, your girlfriend hit you and you tried to bite her fingers like Jeffrey Dahmer and kick her like you were fighting Bruce Lee (albeit, with Woody Woodpecker's hair).

Megan Fox Cries At Award Show

Megan Fox - what is that in her hand, a big nail?

Actress Megan Fox was spotted crying at the sci-fi Spike TV Awards, where she won best actress. You guys know full well Megan wasn't crying because she won. She was crying because she was thinking about the "Jennifer's Body" box office numbers.

Number One Spot Too Far For Mariah Carey

Glitter (2001)	"Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" (2009)

Hits Daily Double has announced, the band Paramore, extended their lead for the number one spot on the Billboard charts next week, besting Mariah Carey "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" by 30,000 copies.

Carey's latest flop is reminiscent of the career tanking bomb that was "Glitter" spawning the song "Never Too Far"

Currently, Paramore, who has done work for the "Twilight" movie soundtrack, is projected to sell 190,000 copies for the week. Carey is projected to sell 160,000. Her last CD "E=MC2" sold more than double that amount during its first week of release.

The new numbers are reminiscent of the flop that was her 2001 "Glitter" album, which sold 110,000 copies in the first week of release and sent her to the psych ward after a suicide attempt.

Contrary to what some might think, her falling sales, has nothing to do with her turning 40 soon. People aren’t supporting Carey for other reasons.

The lackluster, unoriginal "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" has bred imperfect sales, making it one of her worst selling albums to date.

Looks like Mariah is joining Madonna on the musical scrap heap, as the latter is on track to sell between 60-67,000 copies this week.

Mariah Carey Gets Desperate

Mariah Carey

Mariah “Karaoke” Carey, reeling from the failure of her current Eminem diss single “Obsessed” which was the lead off to her forthcoming album due in September, is going to enrage classic rock fans everywhere, by remaking the 1980’s Foreigner tune “I Wanna Know What Love Is.” I was listening to that song just the other day.

That tune is a classic, but watch Carey butcher and ruin it, with her now decimated, irritating voice, much like she did in the terrible remake of the Phil Collins mega-hit “Against All Odds.”

It’s a sad day when a man with less octaves than you allegedly have, sings his song a million times better than you.

It will serve as further proof Carey is not creative and relies on taking other people’s music or making sub par remakes of songs that were already huge hits, in bids at stopping her career from dying.

Side Bar: the tracks “Angels Cry” and “It’s A Wrap” are not Carey’s, though they’ve illegally ended up on her forthcoming CD. God doesn’t like ugly, Mariah and will not bless you for it.

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again

Mariah Carey bets on nostalgia, covering Foreigner

August 18, 2009 | 12:40 pm - Perhaps realizing that the focus should be less on Mariah Carey's feud with Eminem and a bit more on the pop diva, more hints were dropped today about the singer's upcoming "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel." The ad-supported album, which was originally set for Aug. 25, is now due to be released Sept. 29.

The second single from Carey's "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" will apparently be a cover of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" (perhaps tackling "Don't Stop Believing" would have been a too-obvious choice of pandering).

The news was first reported by Roger Friedman, and his article has since been posted on Carey's official website.

This isn't the first time Carey has covered an '80s ballad -- see her take on "I Still Believe" above. The latter gave Carey yet another top 10 hit, a status that has thus far eluded her "Obsessed."...

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again Pt 2

Mariah Carey

After the dismal showing of her lead off single, the Eminem mocking track "Obsessed" Mariah Carey has returned to the recording studio, with her tail between her legs. Carey was clearly knocked for six, after suffering a musical thrashing from her one time lover, Detroit rapper, Eminem.

She has pushed back her album's release date, which is a tell-tale sign of trouble. Labels usually push up album release dates when the lead single does well.

Eminem

When the single is tanking, they push it back, delaying the inevitable defeat on the charts, by trying to rework the project and add new material.

Side Bar: I'm still wondering why crazy Mariah thought she could handle an musical onslaught by a viper-tongued rapper.

Mariah Carey returns to studio, delays album again

Thu Aug 13, 2009 5:11pm EDT - NEW YORK (Billboard) - Originally scheduled for an August 25th release date and then September 15th, Mariah Carey's upcoming 12th studio album, has been delayed yet again.

"Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" will now arrive two weeks later on September 29th. A source at her Def Jam label said the singer needs to return to the studio to record additional songs.

Carey has also pulled out of a string of appearances surrounding the album's release, including "VH1 Storytellers," the "Today" Show concert series, the MTV Video Music Awards and her Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.

The album's first single, "Obsessed," reached No. 11 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart...

Mariah Carey's Career Tanking Again

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon

Pop singer, Mariah Carey, is running for cover, as her career has started tanking again and in a massive way. Instead of celebrating her pending 40th birthday with dignity and grace, she has opted for an overly youthful, street album that does not suit her.

Eminem

Not to mention, she took verbal shots at acerbic rapper, Eminem, who let her have it with a counter-diss track titled "The Warning" which humiliated her all over the internet.

Miley Cyrus

Her current project has turned into an absolute fiasco, where everything that could go wrong has, much to her chagrin. Her big planned performance on the Today Show, has now been replaced by one featuring another MC, popular teen singer, Miley Cyrus (stay off that stripper pole, girl).

To be frank, Carey's new single stinks and her voice is even more depleted than the last go round. But she's not the only one in trouble.

Whitney Houston

Sony singer, the talented Whitney Houston, is in a bit of a pickle as well, as her producers have done a subpar job with her current record, wasting her talent and time. But leave it to the vile head of Sony, Howard Stringer, to let something like this happen.

Man-donna

Then, there's the only female singer in the bunch of imminent forthcoming releases who can't sing, Madonna, coming back with more stupid sounding trash that's sure to tank her greatest hits record.

It's official, mainstream music is toast.

Mariah Carey Calls Out, Miley Cyrus Fills In at TODAY Show

Madonna Tour Still Bombing

Madonna Grendel

Madonna, with her Beastmaster self, was forced to cancel a concert, because only 7,000 of 63,000 tickets sold. Time to retire, Grendel.

When she's not flopping on the charts, her last album didn't even go platinum in America, she is bombing on tour, whilst lying stating venues sold out, when anyone, anywhere, can log on to ticket outlets online and see that it is not.

That's when she's not murdering off tour crew members and directors. Your greed caused those deaths and as the Bible says, "You reap what you sow."

Some stars are so ridiculous - lying to the public about their sales - then going home at night saddened by the fact, their true sales numbers reveal, their audience has completely diminished.

Madonna cancels Slovenia gig, media cite sales

Fri Aug 7, 2009 6:42am EDT - LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Pop star Madonna has canceled her concert in Ljubljana, Slovenia scheduled for August 20, the tour manager said on Friday.

Local media cited poor ticket sales as the main factor, although promoters denied this was the reason.

It is the second concert Madonna has canceled since July. A performance in the southern French town of Marseille was scrapped after the stage being built for it collapsed, killing two workers.

"The reason for the cancellation is unforeseen logistical difficulties," said Laszlo Borsos, managing director of Live Nation in Budapest, overseeing Madonna's tour in eastern Europe.

"There is no problem with ticket sales, absolutely."

Slovenian media reported the concert had to be canceled as promoters had sold only 7,000 of a planned 63,000 tickets in a city with a population of 250,000...

Beyonce's Tour Continues To Flop

Beyonce and Jay-Z

For a vain entertainer like Sony's Beyonce, who has been ruthless and unethical in her rise to fame and current slide, her dismal tour numbers and poor audience attendance is surely very alarming.

Not only does she have a cheating husband she has to maintain in the lavish fashion he has become accustom to, while he goes around the world sleeping with other women and in spite of the fact, by most industry reports, he is near bankrupt, she has to feed her equally lecherous family as well (Tina Knowles, Matthew Knowles and Solange Knowles).

Beyonce, with that crazy look in her eyes

Her dad, Matthew "cocaine and sex party" Knowles, fooled her into believing her own hype, telling her she could sell out 20,000-40,000 seat arenas this year, when in reality, most venues have been more than half empty for her shows. And thus, she embarked on an ill-fated, poor selling tour.

Thousands of tickets per show have been given away for free, to spare her further embarrassment, of performing to venues that are not even half full. Press releases were also published claiming the tour a sellout, when anyone could could to Ticketmaster and book tickets. The real sell out here is Beyonce and family, for pimping themselves out for fame, only for it to turn on them in the end.

RUMOR: BEYONCE'S NEW LAS VEGAS SHOW IS A HUGE FLOP!!!!

August 02, 2009. Here’s a report on what’s ALLEGEDLY going on with Beyonce’s Las Vegas concerts from one of MediaTakeOut.com’s faithful:

I am a local girl who lives here! Me and my best friend went to her show and were extremely disappointed. We paid $1000 each for our front row tickets, and not only did she not perform hardly any songs from her Sasha Fierce album, including "diva" and "ego" she only changed wardrobe twice. Where were the fancy costumes?

Heres a couple of more things:

Tickets couldn't sell out, so they were comped by the Wynn/Encore to all of their "high limit" gamblers...most of whom were middle aged and white, who didnt know ANY of her songs, and sat down and did not dance the whole time she performed.

Beyonce is using the alias "Rolanda Williams" while staying in the hotel.....my friend works in security and told me....:)

In order to fill the theatre which only holds about 1500, the Wynn/Encore is giving away FREE tickets to their employees...since ticket sales have been so low....wow.
