Jamie Foxx insults Miley Cyrus

Posted: 15 Apr 2009 12:14 AM PDT

On his Sirius Satellite Radio Show, The Foxxhole, Sunday, the actor Jamie Foxx, 41, lashed out at the 16-year-old Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus.

What has gotten into Jamie Foxx's head? Fox said to Miley: "to get a gum transplant and to "make a sex tape and grow up... Get like Britney Spears and do some heroin... get some crack in your pipe... Catch chlamydia on a bicycle seat."

Listen to the taped radio program:

Review: Who will go home tonight on American Idol Top 7?

Posted: 15 Apr 2009 12:00 AM PDT

The American Idol season 8 Top 7 performed with the "movie" theme song last night. Based on their performances and popularity, the three idols who'd be in the bottom 3 are Anoop Desai, Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud.

Anoop Desai actually performed much better than most of them. However, popularity-wise, Anoop doesn't have so many following that will bring him to safety. Like any other week, tonight, he will still be in the bottom three -- unless of course, the American voting populace have seen that Anoop deserves to be in the top 6.

Lil Rounds is depreciating. She was my bet among the girls, but now, Allison seems to be leaving her behind. She should have stepped up her performances every week and show that she can belt. Lil Rounds disappoints me...

Matt Giraud sounded pitchy tonight. Did anyone notice it? I think Matt is a trying-hard singer. He tries so hard to make an impression but unfortunately, the strategy isn't working for him. If he goes through this week, he should stick to one genre of song and create his personality from that.

Who did best?

I love Danny Gokey. He is a female soul singer in a man's body. LOL. Why? Because he loves singing female songs and interpret them in a so manly way! He sang "Hero" by Mariah Carey. He had "Jesus, Take the Wheel" that sounded so Gokey. Now he had Endless Love, which originally sang by Diana Ross (with Lionel Richie). Danny is making his mark, showing to everyone that, hey, female songs can also be interpreted by men in even much better versions.

Adam Lambert is the only contestant who has wowed the judges every week, especially Paula. We seem to have seen the ending already. We see Adam Lambert as the winner of American Idol season 8. With all the buzz this guy has created in each performance, what else can go wrong? The only minus I see is the tendency of Adam to belt and shout. Yes, he has that skill for high notes. But he doesn't have to apply it to every song. He should take a clue from the popularity he had made when he performed last week with a soulful, mellow song -- less the shouting.

Kris Allen picked an unfamiliar song this week. Of all the songs that could fit his voice type and range, he has picked a song that didn't showcase what he's got. Kris Allen has shown in the past weeks that he has already taken off, but this week he crashed with a big bang. But as what the judges said, Kris is so likable among the teen girls. He may reach the Top 5.

Allison, oh Allison Iraheta! This young lady knows her style and she jams perfectly with the judges. Allison may be the dark horse in here. While others are predicting a two-men finale, Allison may change that notion if she continues to show her rocker prowess.

Who do you think will leave the Idol stage this week?

The Rose Lyrics by Bette Midler

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to blead

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dyingthat never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winterfar beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

Endless Love Lyrics by Diana Ross/Lionel Richie

My love
there's only you in my life

The only thing that's bright.
My first love - you're ev'ry breath that I take

You're ev'ry step I make.
And I want to share all my love with you.
Noone else will do.
And your eyes may tell me how much you care.
Oh yes
you will always be my endless love.
Two hearts
two hearts that beat as one
How life's had just begun.
Forever I'll hold you close in my arms.
I can't resist your charms.
My love
I'll be a fool for you

I'm sure you will know
I don't mind.
Oh you know I don't mind

'Cause you
you mean the world to me

Oh I know I've found in you my endless love.

And love
oh love
I'll be that fool for you

I'm sure you know I don't mind
I don't mind.
And yes
you'll be the only one 'cause noone can deny
This love I have inside and I'll give it all to you.
My love
my love
my love
my endless love.

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman lyrics by Bryan Adams

To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman
you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

Born to be Wild Lyrics by Steppenwolf

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing in the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

Like a true nature child
We were born
Born to be wild
We have climbed so high
Never want to die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

Everything I Do, I Do It For You Lyrics by Bryan Adams

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into your heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Oh - you can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing Lyrics

Posted: 14 Apr 2009 04:31 PM PDT

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing Lyrics by Aerosmith

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Laying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah
I don't wanna miss a thing

Glen Hansard - Falling Slowly Lyrics

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
