Beyonce's Saving Grace: Halo

I really hadn't paid attention to this song until I checked out the video. The song and video are really beautiful. Beyonce has a knack for making simplicity powerful. Her videos for the I Am...Sasha Fierce album are very stripped down. If you've noticed they've also all been in black and white, except for this one. And even Halo is in what I'm calling "color light" with very muted and pale tones. I know everyone seems to like Single Ladies and now Diva but I really prefer the slower songs. I think Beyonce is at her best when she's got a sentimental, slightly melancholy vibe going on. Think If I Were a Boy or Me, Myself and I. Having said that, Beyonce rocks all her songs and Crazy In Love is my all time fav.

Why do I not own Beyonce's latest album yet? It's a shame. I'm feeling the economic crunch much like everyone else and so I'm slightly picky about luxuries I must have right now and those that can wait. The good news is that Beyonce/Sasha Fierce's music isn't going anywhere and I can purchase it later. In the meantime, I'll just have to stick to Vh1, MTV (when they actually play videos), YouTube and Beyonce's website of course.

Also I noticed that Beyonce is starring in a movie called Obsessed due out April 24. I saw the trailer last weekend at the movies. I wasn't overly impressed. Spoiler Alert! I think the plot will pretty much be The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and/or Fatal Attraction and perhaps a touch of Disclosure (to give it that office feel) except with sexier people. I'll pass on the movie but I will continue to enjoy Beyonce's music. It's her true calling after all.

A Very Speidi April Fool's

So I was checking out "celebrity" news and tweets today and I happened across Heidi Montag's Twitter page proclaiming her pregnancy. Here is the direct quote. "I wanted to tell my Twitter friends first...I am pregnant!!!!!!!I couldn't be more excited!!! I hope it's a boy!" So later on in the day, she posted a gotcha tweet saying she's not pregnant and it was an April Fool's joke. LOL?

You know what's not an April Fool's joke? Heidi's debut of her new single, "Look How I'm Doing." Ryan Seacrest exclusively premiered the song on his radio show today. Yes, I know most of you wish Heidi's singing career was just an extended April Fool's joke but her musical renditions are permeating the air waves, like it or not. You can listen to Heidi's single here.

Also not a joke are the 140,000+ Twitter followers of Heidi. I am not a follower but I'm tempted. I think I'm oddly fascinated that her tweets have a lot to do with Jesus and Bible verses but I can't recall her ever uttering His name on an episode of The Hills. Maybe MTV censors God talk? I'm sure Jesus is not very chic with the Beverly Hills crowd.

Anyway peeps, now that you know Heidi gives it up for the Lord on Twitter, you can follow her for daily inspirations and devotions. You're welcome!
