my neighbours' cat mating growls sound much better than her singing.

and they're not ashamed of having sex!

so screw Leah Dizon!

yeah, i mean wtf. she's actually ashamed of her past job. and she should've realized that you don't sing with boobs before starting her career

Sorry to burst your bubbles ^^
We discussed the Dizon-retiring -thing all over @ JPM and it ended up being a rumour, since she's releasing a new single the 26th.
That "article" was around like.. three weeks ago? Wink

Oh and about Koda, her already once postponed live-dvd will be out in the end of this month.
Seems like Avex will test the waters before actually making a move with the also-postponed best-album.

Singer Wada Akiko (57) is renowned for her tough talk when it comes to misbehaving celebs. Her target yesterday was sumo grand champion Asashoryu (27), who's latest scandal involved him verbally abusing a newspaper reporter who snapped photos of him in Honolulu airport. Unhappy about being seen in an aloha shirt and shorts, he told the reporter to "Drop dead!" By the time he arrived back in Tokyo he'd changed into a kimono more befitting a yokozuna. Wada said "He's bad by nature. I'd like to have a month with him. I'd take him on too, if I were a bit stronger." She said he could learn a lesson from African-American enka debutant Jero (26) and his humble manner.

I'm partly happy. Then again, some stuff just.. shouldn't be there (SS501 can talk to me when they master even 0.5% of the Japanese THSK does. I cringed when I tried to listen to them. EOD. And Leah Dizon also.. Shake Head ).
EXILE and Hikki win big (Where's my enka-prince!?).

Jero is <3. Totally.
