Lots of Entertainment news for you tonight. And I have a website update and a fluffy starr update.

Shirley Manson of Garbage seen with Debbie Harry of Blondie

In the latest issue of In Style Magazine, there is a small article on Garbage with photos of Shirley Manson in the back of a limo with Debbie Harry.

Go out and get the latest issue of "In Style" today. ::turns off the lame-ness:: Even though it's a fairly lame magazine, it's worth getting for Shirley Manson.

Favorite Band Alert!

I have a new page up! The Download Page! I have an all-new Buddy Icon that was given to me by Valdyr @ fluffystarr.com.
Thanks Valdyr!
I have some updated information about Fluffy's collaboration with Celldweller. This was posted at the Fluffy Forum by Replikant. Replikant sounds kind of retarded when he's not speaking unbiasedly like he does in the newsletter. Anyway, here's what he said.

As some of you might know, I know Fluffy Starr. I hang out with them regularly and help with some web stuff. So this info is the official sh*t. We get lots of email about Fluffy's connection to Celldweller. So I wanted to clear that up. Celldweller is a NY based Electronic Rock artist. And the Fluffster lended her vocals to three of his songs on his latest album. Songs are: 1) Frozen 2) Stars of Orion 3) Welcome to the End. This album rawks! You should buy it if you get the chance. They have it at CD Baby. All the info is on the Celldweller website. Check it out.

Well that's the official word. Be sure to check this stuff out.


Anyway...that's all I have to say in this update. Even if it was alot.
Keep the spread of technology ahead, starrlets.

Saturday, June 21, 2003 @ 4:42 PM CST Starrlets, I have done MEGA updating on my website lately. I did way too much.

1) I updated the MUSIC page, updating the Featured Albums, Featured Artists, and Top Ten lists pages.

2) I did alot of hard work to make the first "top ten" list for you guys. See it here Top 25 Worst Bands of Today. I only have 25-21, but I'll add the others soon enough.

3) I have updated the Privacy Policy page along with a couple other pages.

Wow. I still have alot of work to do. Goodbye Starrlets, Keep the flow of technology ahead. The Senator.

Monday, June 16, 2003 @ 3:47 PM CST Hey Starrlets, Panties and I have been doing some major updating on the site. You just don'w know how close I was to closing down Bubblegum Industrial. But I'm not a quitter, so I decided to keep the website up. Anyway, today I am adding a Music page, where I will be talking about the music I love, album reviews, interviews, yadda yadda yadda. But today, I just wanted to let you guys know of some Album that I think would interest you.

Kenna


New Sacred Cow

This album is one of the most beautiful albums that have came out in a long time. An icy blend of Computer Music, Trip Hop, Funk, and Downbeat Electronica that makes a beautiful blend of vocals and beats. Each song has a different appeal to different people. Kenna, in his words "created the music so that if a person didn't like this song, then they would probably like the next." The lyrics are a beautiful mix of spiritual beliefs, inner-pain, and social commentary. This album is definitely worth getting.

In Formation: A Tribute to Throbbing Gristle

If you're a fan of original, abrasive, ear-bleeding Industrial then this is the album for you. A tribute Album to Industrial pioneers and legends, Throbbing Gristle. Includes such bands as The Melvins and Non, and Throbbing Gristle hits like "Hotontheheelsoflove" and "Sub-human". This album will be sure to give you nightmares with it's apathetic anti-melodies
Buy In Formation

Campfire Girls

Delongpre

Wow. This album is very good. Dark, moody, post-grunge alternative. There's nothing I can really say about this album except for how powerful it is. Produced/Engineered (or something) by The lead singer of the Stone Temple Pilots (whatever his name is). It's an album worth buying. The video for "buttercup" can be seen on Fuse (ex-MuchMusicUSA)

Goodbye, Starrlets, Keep the flow of technology ahead-SK

Wednesday, June 11, 2003 @ 9:07 PM CST Hey Starrlets, it's me, Senator Kitty ::gasp::

Yeah, I know...it's been forever since I've even done anything to this site. But I have been so busy with school and work...But guess what?

I graduated!!

CONGRATULATIONS

I know that's what you all were thinking. Now I have some time to update. But I have given complete control of the website to someone else.

There's a girl named Cheri(Panties) from Southern California who has been working on my website. Now I have given her for 3 months complete control. But I am still taking care of the News page. As you see she posted a news update last month (called herself Moo Girl) and she messed up the whole news page, so I took it back, Indian Giver style. Anyway, Panties is real cool, and she listens mainly to post-Industrial Alternative Orgy like bands, so she has a good taste in music. Alot of you might already know her from D1 Music Net, as she is around there alot. Now let me stop sounding all happy and newsperson-like. She also is the Moderator of "Abandoned Velvet" which is a fan site dedicated to another good post-Industrial band from Canada (like Fluffy), The Birthday Massacre. She is kind of young and immature and makes way too many jokes and misspells everything, but she's still cool and is excellent with HTML. She figured out how to do the Thumbnails in the images page, which I have tried to do forever and failed at. Well, I guess I don't have anything else to add at this time.

goodbye Starrlets, remember to keep the spread of technology ahead-Senator Kitty

Tueday, May 19,2003 @ 3:57 PM EST Hey Starrlets, I "Moo Girl" will take over the Bubblegum Industrial site temporality. Untill Senator Kitty feels like coming back. - Moo Girl

Tuesday, March 4, 2003 @ 10:11 PM CST Hi, Starrlets. Sorry for not updating anything or adding some news. I will do it eventually, promise. I just decided to post this email to clarify something. Fluffy randomly emailed me going nuts because I said that the photo was "exclusivley mine". Well when I say exlusively I don't always mean "only for me". Although I may mean that (I did say in the last update that it really isn't exclusively mine) But sometimes I mean exclusively to mean "no middle man info." IE, she gave it to me directly. I didn't pull it off a site. I think that qualifies as exclusive. Oh well...maybe not. But it's my website, and it's my colloquialism nonetheless. If you want to be arduous about it. Then pull a grenade and count to 10 and I'll answer your queston.

Also, telemarketing sucks, and we get alot of crap for it. Next time you get a call from a telemarketer, either hang up on them, or tell them you're sorry and you undertand their position BEFORE they say thier name and company.

Well, goodbye Starrlets, remember to keep the spread of technology ahead-Senator Kitty.

Sunday, February 23, 2003 @ 9:13 PM CST Hi Starrlets, some News today!! Woo hoo alot going on with Fluffy today. I still need to post the "exclusive" photgrah she sent me. Well, I've seen the photo in 2 new places...so I don't know if I'm going to put it on my website as an exclusive. I will however post the photo in the photo section (which still needs to be added). Ok, here is the newsletter that Replikant (Fluffy's Email "developer") has sent out today.

-new Fluffy interview- There is a new interview and photo at D1 today. Fluffy reveals her real name, who she wants to collaborate with in the future, and what cd’s she’s been listening to lately. Also included is a favorites list and a word association. Check it out at – D1 Music Net Interview

-another new Fluffy interview- There is yet another interview that has popped up today at Canadian Babes. Fluffy talks about the S&M allegations, her favorite part of the human anatomy, and what lifeform she would rather be stuck with on a deserted planet. Also, lots of other crazy questions were asked. Check it out at – Canadian Babes interview

More soon!

Digital*Replikant.

I thought that was pretty cool. Fluffy Starr has revealed her real name (nikki) and also told us that Jim's nicknames are "the scientist" and "android"(her name for him). Also Paule will start playing live Bass.

Umm...there are still major updates that need to be done to the website. I will do those ASAP (actually when I am in the mood to do it). IE-I need to make the exclusives page, all the links pages, discography, ...the list goes on and on, this website will get more and more known as Fluffy gets more and more popular. I will get it all done. Well, goodbye Starrlets, remember to keep the spread of technology ahead-Senator Kitty.

Wednesday, February 19, 2003 @ 7:45 PM CST Hey Starrlets, a few more news updates today. First of all, for protection, everything I use that is not originally mine, I have created a few "legal" (they are not totally official, more like common agreement) documents for everything I use...And I created 2 documents for Fluffy Starr. One was her giving me permission to use photos of the band on my site...and the 2nd was a list of "requirements" for the interview I finally created for her. This is how she opened up what she had to say about the 2nd legal document.

"Ok Vern, you are officially scaring me with the legal stuff."

That gave me a good laugh. I could see how she is stressed out, but things like that intrigue me...so I could really care less. I just re-did the interview and made the "legal" stuff in simple, casual language. The interview questions are really good, and very different. They're not your typical "interview" questions. I think you will be pleasantly suprised.

Umm...no updates to my site today. I'm too tired to do anything, on top of school, college, chores, parents, scholaships, homework, Chemistry, Trigonometry, Advanced Placement English, a suspended license, and annoying rednecks, I just got a new job which will take up all my time from after school to almost my bedtime. So, updates will become less frequent as they have been in the past.

Angelfire emailed me the other day, they said "it was a glitch in the server and the problem is being fixed ASAP." All I saw in that comment was, "This is a bunch of bull, and we don't give a fuck about your website either way."

Also, I found out that FreeWebSpace does not allow me to connect images for banners or for any use outside my website, so if you connected my banner to your website, you will get a message not allowing it. I, of course, am more educated than that, so I just used another FTP server to upload my banner, and you can go to the Link Me to your site section and my updated Banner should be there and it should work. Also, be sure to go to D1 Music Net and check out the message boards and spread the news to anyone you can. I am trying to find out more ways that I can spread the message of my website. Please help me as much as you can.

Also, I have gotten the email of the lead singer of Mind Over me, Thorn Atwood...Be sure to email him hate mail for saying that Fluffy is "a piece of ass". You can email him here. The band probably is still good, but I haven't heard anything, and at this point I am not liking it. I don't want to be typical and like ALL the bands on that website anyway. It's not healthy.

Well, goodbye Starrlets, remember to keep the spread of technology ahead-Senator Kitty.

Monday, February 17, 2003 @ 8:22 PM CST Lots of news today. I have moved my server to Free Web Space. The people at Angelfire decided my website was unfit, so they suspended it.
