Alesha Dixon: "To Love Again" (Bimbo Jones Edit)

I needed a little afternoon pick-me-up and chose Alesha Dixon's "To Love Again" - her new collaboration with Gary Barlow, out November 16th. In truth - as much as I like the song - I chose it because I LOVE Bimbo Jones. Their Harlem 1 Stop album was one of my favorite dance albums last year. WATCH/LISTEN to Alesha, above.

30 Seconds to Mars: "Kings + Queens"

30 Seconds to Mars and front man Jared Leto (OMG...Jordan Catalano still haunts my dreams) debuted their new much-anticipated "Kings and Queens" video on Myspace yesterday. From the band's new album, This Is War, "Kings + Queens" takes you on a critical mass ride through the late-night streets of L.A., showing a part of the city most people don't get to see.

"I don't know what to say. We spent two years of our lives working on that record, and it was us against the world. We didn't have outside influence or help, we didn't have a label, we had us, betting the farm, and pushing ourselves," Leto told MTV. "There were times that it was overwhelming. Everything that was going on was brutal, but there were beautiful moments as well. There was so many outside influences that were in conflict that working on the record was actually quite peaceful. It was a case of survival, to tell the truth."

Leto continues, "One thing that I know is that this record is really the best that we can do. It's everything that we have inside of us. It's our complete commitment, it's our complete abandonment, our blood and our bones and our heart and our soul, and everything. Everything we have is in this record, so that's what we have to say. ... Regardless of what anyone thinks of the record, we made the record we set out to make. ... Who knows if anyone in the world will like it or not? That's to be determined."

WATCH the video below. This is War is scheduled to release December 8th.

Manworks.com Window Shut Down by Police

Last Friday night, November 6th, Manworks.com, the online directory of male bodyworkers, massage therapists and masseurs, unveiled a Amsterdam-style "Dutch window" showing a live, man-on-man sensual massage demonstration in the window of The Blue on 8th Ave., in Chelsea. It was a stunning attraction, small groups of onlookers gazed in awe and delight while the masseur Gio worked on the body of a handsome fellow. As one cop car drove by without stopping, it seemed the window would be able go on unscathed by police disruption; however, not an hour and a half into the live demonstration did another police car arrive.

One officer demanded the window be shut down. When asked "Why?" by Daniel Lee, Manwork.com's director, the policeman could only vaguely claim that a permit was needed to have such a window display and for causing sidewalk obstructing attention. Pressed further, he could not exactly cite what law the window was allegedly violating. Other attempts to engage the officer in discussion was met with a curt, "Do you even work here? Shut this down NOW!" Lee halted the window to get legal counsel before deciding whether or not to defy the police, who by then drove off.

Why should the window have been stopped? There was no nudity, no simulated sex, nothing lewd. Does Macys' need a permit for their Christmas windows when tourists and other onlookers jam up 34th Street? Would Manworks.com's Dutch window been shut down if it were a hetero pairing? What was illegal? A man touching another man? It appears so, doesn't it.

There's a feature in today's AM NY newspaper - and Michael Musto posted an item on his Village Voice blog as well (+ another photo).

Fergie Talks "Nine," Perez and Her Bisexuality!

Fergie comes clean with The Advocate about her role in Rob Marshall’s next film Nine, the Black Eyed Peas brewing feud with Perez Hilton, and how her bisexuality plays out in her marriage to Transformers hottie Josh Duhamel. A few juicy tidbits below!

ADVOCATE: OK, but what surprised me most about the incident was that it escalated after you confronted Perez about his negative coverage of you and your music on his blog. I was surprised you’d even care about one queen’s opinion.

FERGIE: Yeah, I did. Because when I see somebody I thought was my friend or starting to be my friend… [Sighs] When someone talks out of both sides of their mouth, it just makes me question their integrity.

ADVOCATE: How did Josh handle the hoopla [her bisexuality]?

FERGIE: I’ve been very honest with him from the get-go. I think women are beautiful, I’ve had a lot of fun with women, and I’m not ashamed of it. The problem is that I also love a well-endowed man…

FERGIE (on gaining weight for her role in Nine): Everyone would have these light salads and Daniel Day-Lewis would have his little dessert of a dark chocolate chunk and a few almonds, but I’d be eating burgers and fries because I was gaining weight for the role. I even sent my assistant out to find microwave enchiladas in London. Penélope Cruz gained weight the healthy way with pasta and protein shakes, but I did not.
