Dear Katy,

I thought you were different. I used to think your sprightly personality, subtle sarcasm and jabs at more established musicians, and defined sense of style suggested a deeper dimension than your average pre-fab pop star. Despite admittedly simple, straightforward pop like “I Kissed A Girl” and “Waking Up In Vegas” along with lyrics and photos meant to stir up controversy and firmly place you into the bracket of commercial whore, I always thought there was more to you than your run-of-the-mill Ke$ha or Pussycat Dolls. You even sort of look like my future wife Zooey, and that’s always a plus…

In Hollywood, pregnancies aren’t too shocking – neither are breakups quite frankly. But what is surprising is celebrity marriages. The Summer of 2010 can easily be dubbed as the “Summer of Commitment” in Hollywood, with upwards of nearly 25 celeb couples tying the knot. While it appears there is an influx of unions in Hollywood, there’s always a flip side to that fairy tale story. In Hollywood, where there’s a wedding, there’s a divorce lurking not too far behind. Still, there’s a fair share of celeb’s who are keeping wedded bliss at bay - opting to be fully committed to one another - even starting families together - without tying the knot. Here’s the Top 5 Happily UnMarried Hollywood Couples.

What made Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’s debut album Broom such a delight was its simple charm and beautifully unassuming melodies. Sure, it was home-recorded in a pointedly lo-fi manner and slightly derivative of bands like the Shins and early Apples in Stereo, but there was something inspiring about these three Missouri kids pulling off some truly gorgeous indie pop with a miniscule budget. It meant the songs had to be good, not fluffed up with studio tricks, and they were. The songs on Pershing were just as solid, no doubt, but a more confident SSLYBY began to lose some of that production innocence and amateur sensibility that colored their debut, seeming instead to be searching desperately for that hit single to put them over the top. Now we finally have The Indie Band Making Good - Death Cab’s Chris Walla behind the boards, a honest-to-God studio to play with, and a summer release date, the perfect time to listen to a band as breezy and lighthearted as SSLYBY generally sound. Unfortunately, what they end up with sounds more like contemporary Weezer than something you might find at the back of your local discount record store, something that was perhaps not groundbreaking but definitely yours.

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you have likely heard about the never ending rant saga that is Mel Gibson’s life. He’s had quite a few choice words for his ex, Oksana Grigorieva. While the tapes are…interesting to say the least, they aren’t very creative. One has to wonder what would have happened if Mel had pulled out some of his stellar quotes from his hit movies.

We here at THE POP FIX know that you Angelenos can’t get enough of Prince…and guess what? He can’t get enough of you either.
In addition to the three-day stint he’ll be making over at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno from March 24-27, plus a performance on Leno’s last show on May 28, the Artist Formerly Known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince will be playing a full-on marathon of concerts for all his fans to enjoy.
And by ‘marathon,’ we’re not kidding.

Dateh’s unique brand of soul-searching has already caught the attention of Public Enemy and Run DMC, and his violin virtuoso can be head running smoothly over tracks by Keli and resident DJ Inca. At a time when Lil Wayne is trying to break traditional genre boundaries with rock song “Prom Queen,” Dateh’s already two steps ahead, one doo-bop scat above the norm. For his perfect pitch, vocal dexterity and undeniable passion, THE POP FIX predicts this Renaissance music man will be one to look out for in the very near future.

It’s official–fashion has imploded. What does this mean and how is it possible?
Let us first analyze the situation. Fashion is supposed to be defined as the “prevailing style of dress at the moment”. But at the moment, every imaginable trend out there is “in”: fringe, bright colors, dropped-crotch pants, skinny trousers, boyfriend blazers, shredded t-shirts, vintage floral dresses.
How to make a Shredded Tee video:

Obviously, this is creating a problem for designers as too many ideas are surfacing and there no longer seems to be a clear direction in the path …

A controversial anti-abortion ad has been pulled from NBC’s Super Bowl line-up.
The ad, by Catholic Vote, challenges Americans to rethink the repercussions of abortion and life without Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States. “Life, Imagine the Potential,” it states.

Controversial? Too much? Is NBC in the right, or are they overreacting?
