The Pop Culture of Gus Lequerica

Former American Idol alumni Katherine McPhee looks really good in a Marchesa gown at the 37th International Emmy Awards Gala last night in NYC. Katherine’s one shoulder silk dress grabbed the attention of many spectators as well fashion critics because it’s a complete departure from her previous Gwen Stefani No Doubt looks during her American Idol year.

After many tragedies in his life at least Hulk Hogan got a small payback except it wasn’t to his former/cougar wife Linda but rather to fellow wrestler Ric Flair. The two wrestlers who have a grudge for over the last two decades took the stage of Hulkmania in Melbourne, Australia a couple of nights ago; but the things go more crazy because anyone who reads the newspapers knew that Ric attacked Hogan in a press conference last week where Hulk was left covered in blood.

Australian press who are now keen to the wresting world reported that Flair as become more of a fail because he couldn’t execute any of his move properly, something that Hogan took advantage and with the “bladding” move of his rival he defeated him. I’ve been wondering if this all incident was part of an act only to improve the public attendance? It could be as the reason is we are talking about wrestling.

The XVII Festival of Accordionists and Song Writers of El Guamo, Bolivar closed with a positive balance because of the massive assistance of the public as well many figures of the Vallenato movement.

Even with all the climatic problems and the road problems people assisted to the annual event to watch perform their favorite singers or as is called in Colombia Vallenateros. The winners were Antonio Maya in the category of amateur accordionist; The Piqueria contest was won by Freddy De Avila and the unpublished song contest was won by Freddy Avila; more information on El Universal.

According to tmz.com Dr. Conrad Murray is going to back to his practice today November 23 of 2009, although not with his practice he will be going to work at the Armstrong Medical Clinic in Houston, Texas but don’t expect that is a big hospital because the clinic it’s mostly like an underground club that only a few known about it.

Conrad Murray will be remembered as the live-in physician who was at the moment of the death of Michael Jackson and the responsible one of buying the propofol (the same drug that killed the singer) and is the same clinic that the police raided a few weeks ago searching for the anesthesia. I won’t even trust this man to treat for a common cold and do you?

Even if it’s not the actual dessert in the photo it can give you an idea about the newly invention of four Colombian gastronomy students invented a dessert composed of Viagra and Passion Fruit called Espuma (Eng. transl. Foam) who was exposed in the last week Culinary Fair of Bogota.

Juan Sebastian Gomez one of the creators of the dessert explained that the idea came from an academic project that had the idea to create a meal for seniors and after a brainstorm Espuma was born as an energizing food that seniors can consume to revitalize their sex life in a more delicious manner.

The four students presented their creation in the last Culinary Fair; they said that after experimenting with different flavor and with a large group of volunteers they decided to use Passion Fruit because it was tasty to the plate rather than other contemporary flavors but at the moment of giving samples in the fair they tried to be ethical about the content of the product but they found a niche between woman who liked the product so much that they ate the dessert slowly and tasting every single ounce of the flavor. Sounds crazy but it’s also an innovative idea to consume a pill that sometimes can be taboo regarding some bed manners.

Dr. Conrad Murray bought five containers of Propofol one month before the death of Michael Jackson.

Murray admitted in the police interrogatory that in the eve of Jackson death (June 24th) that he gave Propofol to the singer; the information was published through a judge in Las Vegas an since the singer’s death the Police and the Federal Authorities had tried to link Murray with Jackson death because it was the drug that killed the singer.

In the case of the physician, a receive was found in the house of Murray of the pharmacy “Applied Pharmacy Services” with the transaction of five containers of Propofol, the same drug that killed Michael Jackson. The doctor became the live-in physician of Jackson until his death and the authorities haven’t presented any charges toward Murray because they can’t link him with the murder (common you have all the evidence!).

According to Murray Michael was a frequent user of Propofol because Jackson suffered from sleep disorders and he tried to put an end to Jackson’s addiction.

 Left a 2009 pic of Darren Hayes; Right, a photo of Darren and Daniel Jones back in the days of Sound Garden. What do you think? Good genes or good docs? In the meantime do you notice an strange similarity between Glambert and Darren in the second photo?.

The Museum of History and Science of Florence assured that two fingers and a tooth of famous Italian Astronomer Galileo Galilei where discovered by a private collector. Knowing the story everyone knows that in 1737 after Galile’s death three of his finger and some of his teeth where exhumed from his tomb and preserved as relics but tracking the so called relics over the centuries has been a little bit difficult over the years and proving the authenticity of the relics is going to be difficult.

Paollo Galluzi, the Headmaster of the Museum said that a private collector got the relics in a private auction a few years ago and the collector communicated with the Culture and Education Offices of Florence before communicating with the museum Headmaster to return back the relics of Galileo. The Museum of History assures that the relics match with description of ancient documents that described the relics.

Guess that Galileo had the last laugh, not only he was right but he’s more famous than any Pope in history. 

Abelardo Perez Medina one of the most recognized produced of Champeta (A similar genre of Reggaeton in Colombia) was killed in front of his brother yesterday in the sector of Cartagena de Indias known as Los Platanos at 5:10 am in the morning.

The businessman/ producer was killed by a gunman when he was unloading a truck in one of his docks. The killer escaped and there hasn’t been any information regarding his location or any clue about who he was. Abelardo was born in the small town of Bayunca but he lived most of his life in the municipality of Pasacaballos came to Cartagena where he worked in warehouses around the local market, then he became one of the most common known dealers in the market and last he became one of the most popular producers of Champeta around the city by producing albums of El Sajayin, Elio Boom and other musicians of the genre.

His family stated that they didn’t knew if he had enemies and they never heard him saying he was scared of his life by any threat; when the corpse was relocated to the local morgue, the rest of his family came to the place along with his wife and three children; one of his relatives said that Abelardo was robbed twice during the year of 2008.

There is no doubt that you can turn a whore into a pretty woman (we saw that in the movie); and at the tender age of 22 Carrie Prejean has done more in her life than any escort in the State of New York or California. From being Miss California to being just a joke in the Internets and in real life too.

In her most recent scandal beside her “solo” sex tape and her homophobic slurs; now she has a few (30 photos of her own) being naked and taken no other than herself using a personal camera and the reflection of a mirror taken when Carrie was in her early twenties (really she is only twenty two and those supposedly photos are taken when she was in her  “early twenties” I can’t imagine what she was up to when she was only 15).

Maybe growing in a strict religious environment let Carrie frustrated with her own body and personal image and she started to experiment herself a little bit because being that young and being so nasty it’s something that you don’t are born with, you learn it and all that Christian pro-action Family mumbo jumbo I don’t believe them because those are empty words that an immature girl spoke were empty as she is because she didn’t analyzed herself first before giving her opinion, no matter how shallow it was.

Even in death Michael Jackson is like the energizer bunny, he keeps going and going and going; but all of that is thanks to his devoted fans who keep supporting him. The homage movie “This is It” reached the US$200.000.000 mark worldwide according to Sony Studios.

The movie that gave a look on the last days of Michael Jackson gathered US$61 million dollars between Canada and the USA; and a little more than US$140 Million Dollars world wide (wow so there were more fans outside than North America? That’s a surprise).

“Movie goers and critic had taken this celebration to Michael Jackson and his music” Said Jeff Blake the President of Distribution and Marketing of the studio. Outside of North America the movie had a great performance where in Japan it got US$27 Millions, United Kingdom US$14 Millions, Germany US$12 Mills, France the same as Germany and Australia US$7 Millions. Great amount of money for a movie that only had one good thing the trailer.
