I'm Loving The Ladies!

Did you know that Annie Lennox will be releasing a new album titled "Songs Of Mass Destruction" on October 2?

The highlight of the album has got to be "Sing", a song that features vocal contributions from Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Celine Dion, Pink, Gladys Knight, Fergie, kd lang, Faith Hill, Dido, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Anastacia, Joss Stone, KT Tunstall, among many more. The track will raise awareness and funding for the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) - organizations fighting for human rights, education and health care for those affected by the HIV/AIDS virus.

I've always loved Annie Lennox and this makes me really wanna be her friend, if I don't explode from the diva overload first. Get more info on the cool lady's album here.

And speaking of Madonna, you might already know that she's working with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. I hear the album's out early next year, and the UK press have reported that the Sugababes were seen entering Madonna's recording studio, possibly to lay down some tracks with Aunty Madge, that crazy lady.

In related Madonna news, have you heard that Kylie Minogue has bagged her Confessions producer Stuart Price? So Kylie's new album (due out November 26) will be future-disco? We'll see. I loves me some Kylie but get someone new already, lady!

And Kanako Otsuji is possibly the bravest lady in Japan. She's living her life as honestly and openly as she can, and making a stand for it - go tell your friends about her. And then check out Stephen's "Gay Panic" post on his blog - forward it on to anyone you know who needs to read about little acts of courage.

And before you go, have you heard of The Wet Spots? Well, neither have I but this crazy video to the crazier song "Do You Take It" will keep the buzz on them going for while, I'm sure, whether you're a lady or not.

Happy Friday, folks.
