Grumbling About Lady Gaga To ‘The Guardian’ Is The Hot New Trend
Wed May 12 2010 by Becky Bain
We may have compiled our comprehensive list of Lady Gaga feuds a bit too early. Not even a week after we posted our Gaga beef round-up, Grace Jones shared some harsh words for the pop star to U.K.'s The Guardian. And now singer/songwriter/harpist Joanna Newsom is joining the anti-Gaga club, telling go-to Gaga-trashing newspaper The Guardian that the "Alejandro" singer's sexuality lacks "scuzziness" and that she may as well be called "Arty Spice."

On The Shelf: Tomorrow’s New Releases Revealed Today
Mon Nov 13 2006 by Maura
Welcome to On The Shelf, Idolator’s weekly look at the coming torrent of record releases. Tomorrow’s big release should be the sophomore album from the Game, Doctor’s Advocate; the raftload of guests and amazing way he’s kept himself in the press have us feeling that he’ll snatch the top spot, unless Hannah Montana continues her reign of tween terror.
After the jump, we look at Doctor’s Advocate, as well as releases from Kenny G, +44, and Joanna Newsom.
