Vagina Plastic Surgery, Disney stars, and Angelina Jolie - oh my!

Margaret Cho just posted an entry on her myspace blog that you can visit here: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=30965431&blogID=373437682.

In it she discusses the collagen injection she had into her G-Spot for new reality show. She claims that she now does not feel like she wants to have sex and is waiting for the effect to wear off in four months. This raises a big question in my head: Is sexuality now something to play with for amusement? Should we encourage one playing with the formation of their genitalia for a funny joke? I personally find it funny when tv personalities make fun of common American practices and take part in them to show their ridiculousness but I would NEVER inject anything into my genitalia. In a society that puts sex on such a pedestal, it's surprising that one would risk their own sexual pleasure and self-esteem for a joke. I know Margaret Cho is all about being obscene and ridiculous, but COME ON?! This is too much.

In other news, Jesse McCartney has a new single. And the weird thing is that it is sort of good. Known for his role on the summer tv show, Summerland, Jesse was a one-hit wonder that had more of a following in the viewers of the Disney Channel than anywhere else. In this recent attempt at an image overhaul, Jesse's single comes with a music video that depicts him in close proximity to a lustful lady talking to her about leaving her man for him. Then, he is depicted singing to her dressed minimally on a bed with the focus being on her body. She's a vixen. I wonder if he just decided to ditch the Disney star status for being a sexy heartthrob to gain more universal popularity. He may be slowly gaining radio spins but with Disney refusing to play the sexy video, will he reach any of the heights that he once did with "Beautiful Soul." His new single "Leavin'" will have to depend on American audiences accepting his new look as legitimate or he'll just flop again. Or would he have been smarter to try and be Hannah Montana? She may still be 15 and he may be 21 but look at her success. That's baller. I may despise her for her annoying YouTube videos but she is so rich. No one can touch that. She is admired by millions and had a completely sold-out U.S. tour! Maybe Jesse should have made a slower transition?

And finally, Angelina Jolie is under fire for recently released pictures of her from when she was 16-years-old. Every blog is calling them sexy and scandalous. Um, what? She is depicted with maybe a devious look on her face but she is fully-clothed and chillin'. She obviously is attempting to look sexy but there is nothing horrid about them. Hannah Montana has taken pictures with probably just as much sexiness. It's amazing how much America condemns any form of visible sexuality by anyone under 18 but then when marketing a star like Britney Spears, they put her in a Christian schoolgirl outfit. She is in a bikini in some shots. So what? If girls shouldn't wear bikinis, don't sell them. But in the same week, when Audrina Patridge has Playboy trial shots released to the Internet, her age being over 18 makes them okay. But that bitch is NAKED! What's the deal, America?

Anyways, that was your pop culture scandal update. Oh me, oh my. I'm out.
