I feared this day more than Armageddon itself.  The day Heidi Montag’s music video for “Higher” hit the internet.  Why?  Because it’s equally disastrous yet - unfortunately - we’re still here to witness it.  After the boob enhancement and nose job, you knew stardom was next on Montag’s to-do list.  You were just praying the end of the world would come sooner.  Somebody should have told her that just because The Hills aired on Mtv, a singing career isn’t the logical next step.  If the show had aired on Fox would that have given her the right to run out and become a GOP strategist?  I think not!

Her awkward poses, rhythmless dancing, and hellish vocals make Paris Hilton look like a Grammy winner.  Here it is, the video that I’m pretty sure her boyfriend, Spencer Pratt, filmed with his camera phone.

Hillary Clinton pulled off an unexpected victory over Barack Obama in the New Hampshire primaries last night.  Soon afterward, she chatted with Mtv News about the importance of young voters and the influence they had over this win.  I’m not entirely sure why Mtv was in southern NH last night and not cutting footage of drunken Real World Australia make-out sessions somewhere, but good for them. 

In her exclusive interview with Mtv, Clinton admitted that she may owe a large part of her NH victory to her daughter, Chlesea, who had some ideas about reaching out to young voters in the last few weeks.  “I have always believed that elections are about the future,” she said. “I want to give this election back to the people of this country, but especially the young people.”

And I know it’s been played before, but here it is again.  I may not vote for you Hills, but this one is dedicated to you!

In April 2002, Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley died of a cocaine and heroine overdose after years of struggling with addiction.  Six years ealier the band spent one of their last performances together on Mtv’s Unplugged.  According to Billboard.com, on September 18th Columbia/Legacy will re-release that album along with three other classic Unplugged performaces (Bob Dylan, Mariah Carey, and Tony Bennett).  The reissues will include a DVD of tracks and extras that weren’t part of the original television production.   The somber intensity of Alice in Chains’ music made them one of the pioneers of the Seattle grunge scene in the early 90s, but their hard rocking nature also appealed to metal fans.  This Unplugged release is a chance to see an amazing band (who’s music crossed over sub-genres of rock music) perform in an intimate accoustic setting before the darkness of addiction took Staley’s life.
