American Cars, Dark Hearts & The Return of Annie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HqTDoScPI4&feature=youtu.be Annie doesn't stop - and she also doesn't miss. From Anniemal, to Don't Stop, to the A&R and Endless Vacation EPs and all the one-off singles scattered in between, there are, quite simply, no skips in her catalog. And at her highest…

Black Lives Matter - Here's How to Help
In the time since I last posted on MuuMuse, a massive, vital outcry of protests erupted throughout the United States and across the globe, condemning systemic racism and police brutality in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and countless others, following decades of data-backed evidence of…

Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 'Kitchen Disco' Is a Burst of Joy in Quarantine
The quarantine has made one thing abundantly clear: far too many attention-deprived, extroverted celebrities simply do not know what to do with themselves - and, more often than not, it's a bad look. From complaining about being bored in their massive mansions to musing in milk baths about the…

Social Distancing With the Spice Girls
People of the world: don't go outside. It's truly wild how much...everything has changed since the last time I wrote something for MuuMuse, which was, uh, ten days ago. I think everyone is still processing exactly what's going on, adjusting to life at home, and wondering how long life will be like…

Excuse Me, Nicola Roberts, I Know That's You on 'The Masked Singer UK'
Something kinda ooooh must be in the water, because legendary '00s-to-early-'10s British girl group members-turned-solo stars keep showing up on reality television competitions as of late. Before we get into The Masked Singer, I need to get address this first: Alesha "Italians Do It Better" Dixon…

Kylie Minogue Says Her New Music Will Be 'Like Grown-Up Disco'
I've had a theory for a couple weeks now that Mariah Carey scoring her rightful No. 1 with "All I Want for Christmas Is You" would cosmically right the wrongs that have plagued pop (and also the world) for years, and that all things would fall into place in this dawning of a new decade. And now,…

The Pussycat Dolls Are Back
If you or a loved one are experiencing frequent, inexplicable urges to loosen up your buttons, or if you suddenly find your legs lifting upward at random intervals, or if you feel an overwhelming assurance that you are hotter, freakier, rawer and more fun than the girlfriends of those around you,…

Cheryl Makes an Aloud & Proud Appearance on 'RuPaul's Drag Race UK'
I miss Girls Aloud with every fiber of my biology. As anyone else who worshipped at the altar of the Almighty Aloud can attest, life has only progressively gotten colder with each passing day ever since the TwitLonger disbandment tweeted 'round the world in 2013. (It's too soon to talk about,…

Here's How the Jennifer Lopez & Shakira 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show Should Go
Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are co-headlining the Super Bowl 2020 halftime show, officially. This decision is, of course, derechos gays - or "gay rights!" if you're Jennifer Lawrence. In all seriousness, this is going to be an incredible show, and the honor is more than deserved for both of these…

Will You Save Us, Hilary Duff?
As Hilary, as Lizzie, as Isabella...it doesn't matter who. The Earth is on fire. Society has never been more polarized, as corrupt, self-serving political leaders drag us down a disgraceful path to irreversible ruin at breakneck speed. And Lizzie McGuire is officially getting a reboot on Disney+.…

'Looking for America': Lana Del Rey Reacts to the Latest Mass Shootings With a New Song
What is there even to say anymore about The State of Things in America in 2019? It's all too sad, too infuriating, too grim - and despite all the helpfully retweeted advice to channel that energy into campaigning and donating and volunteering and voting, I think it's also completely acceptable and…
