divas sticking with commoners

FROM June 16, 2006

Mary J Blige marries Kendu and we get "All My Love." Xtina marries Jordan and we get "Ain't No Other Man." '

Beyonce and Jay-Z's self-obsessed and sexee summer dud "Deja Vu"? The Phantom Menace. As long as the tie-in Taco Bell goblets look cool, the buyer believes in the blockbuster. Heard it in the club last night and it didn't register, even with Soho Bape hipsters in neon windbreakers and dookie rope chains, or the three twee boys gesticulating in air and screaming the chorus to "What U Know" like they, themselves, were Jacob's boys.

I fear I am boring you, like a ringtone you can't delete.
