VIDEO ‘What Does the Fox Say?’ is the ‘Gangnam Style’ for summer 2013

Although some herald Labor Day as the end of summer, it actually lasts through September 21 (up here in the Northern Hemisphere), so that means “The Fox” by Norwegian duo Ylvis is eligible for 2013’s “Song of the Summer,” and I think when you hear it (and see the video — uploaded September 3) you will have to agree it has no competition. So move over Robert Thicke and make room for Bård Ylvisåker and Vegard Ylvisåker as they delve into the eternal mystery, “What the fox say?”

Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” was about chasing after ex-boyfriend Luc Carl

“Paparazzi” is one of my favorite Lady Gaga songs, and a small part of why of I like it (I mostly just like it because it’s a fun song) is because of it’s comment on fame, love, and paparazzi and tabloid culture. It could be argued that it’s from the point of view of the paparazzi, or the star, or a that it switches at some point, but for me it always seems to almost be both at the same time. Of course, all of that is in the song, but it turns out the true heart of the song, the true inspiration is Lady Gaga’s unrequited love for ex-boyfriend Luc Carl.

Kelly Siegler of Cold Justice made famous during her prosecution of Susan Wright

TNT’s reality show Cold Justice, premiering tonight, features two seasoned professionals who venture across small-town America to lend their expertise to try and resolve unsolved violent crimes. The concept has the makings of a hit and when you add in Dick Wolf’s (Law & Order) name as an Executive Producer, hopes are high for the show. The idea is the brain-child of prosecutor Kelly Siegler. She’s a Texas legend whose fame was ignited during the high-profile 2nd-degree murder case of defendant Susan Wright in 2003. Siegler prosecuted Wright, who was eventually found guilty of murdering her husband after she tied him to their bed, stabbed him over 200 times and buried him in the back yard. To drive home the visual, Siegler actually brought in the original blood stained mattress, had a male colleague tied to bedposts and straddled him while making a stabbing motion with a knife. See rare footage of that courtroom drama as well as additional information about the hard-nosed lady who rarely loses.
