Sometimes it seems to me that nothing we can ever do in this world is original anymore. Think you’ve got a great idea? Well just hit Google and you’ll find out that someone, somewhere in the world has beaten you to it. When it comes to anything pop culture, have we run out of inspiration??
Being a copy cat is okay in certain circumstances, fake it ‘till you make it as they say. But if you’re in the public eye, your imitation is out there for all to see- and may come across as unimaginative, or just plain cheesy.
Gaga vs Christina
As we’ve seen in the tabloids of late, there is some major diva dissing going on in Tinsel Town.
Having been away from the business for the past couple of years raising her son, Christina Aguilera came back in a major way last week. She released the video for “Not Myself Tonight,” which stirred up controversy over whether it was too sexy and provocative. In other words: it accomplished the exact goal Aguilera had in mind and put her right back on the musical map.
Critics allege that Christina has simply stolen her new style and edginess from Lady Gaga in a clear attempt to piggyback off that eccentric singer’s success.
For her video ‘Not myself tonight”, Xtina has been charged with imitation . Not yourself indeed Miss X! Are you trying to steal summa that Gaga magic??
When confronted, Miss X had this to say:
“It just comes with the territory. That, in particular, is not even worth wasting the breath to comment on,” she sniped. “I’ve been around for over a decade and I think my work speaks for myself.”
Where the dissing comes in: some tabloid quoted Xtina saying she didn’t even know who Gaga was. Well, this quote was apparently taken from an interview 2 years back- before the Pokerface explosion had hit.
Is this accusation rooted in reality at all? Aren’t all celebs just players in the same virtual reality? Take the Gaga as an example: influences of Prince, Madonna and even Boy George are clearly visible. Having said that, she’s made it all her own by wrapping it up in a unique Gagalicious package. Or has she?
Whatever. Bring back Britney.
Madge vs Ange
Angie adopts a poor baby orphan from some developing country. Madge adopts poor baby orphan from some developing country.
See what I’m getting at?
So…..Let the mudslinging begin!
Ever since 2006, when Madonna was planning to adopt, she gave a really bitchy statement indicating Jolie when asked by a reporter, if she was “jumping on a bandwagon”.
She said: “Look, I could have joined the U.N. and become an ambassador and visited various countries and just kind of showed up and smiled and looked concerned. But that’s not getting to the root of the problem…”
Miss A isn’t Madge’s biggest fan either. She had this to say “Her fatless, sinewy body is sad testament to her desperate clinging on to youth, and if that pointy, feline face gets any tighter it will crack. Long blonde hair at 50 is a mistake. Her habit of wearing her pre-pubescent daughter’s clothes is another; while a toyboy lover – she’s older than his mother – is positively sad.”

Is adoption the new black?
England vs Zimbabwe
On Saturday, Britain’s opposition leaders held their first face-to-face talks on thrashing out a pact to enter government and end the political deadlock left by the general election.
Is it just me, or did this just happen in Zimbabwe??
Hey, how do you expect these dudes to be original with their political ideas when even choosing a simple suit is too much for them to bear?
Can you think of other Copy cats???
