17:01:30 - ANNIVERSARY OF I KISSED A GIRL (13)
The year was 2008, and the only flavour chapstick that mattered was cherry. Of course I’m talking about Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” which was released 13 years ago today.
TALK OVER 13C_PIP_I KISSED A GIRL COVER_2804
Katy’s debut single was actually from her second studio album, the first was a gospel album called ‘Katy Hudson’- her real name. A name change, two unsuccessful contracts with record labels and finally ‘I Kissed a girl’ was born. Lets take a look at the video…

DISCUSS
Q- WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE TRACK WHEN IT CAME OUT?
Q- HEARING IT NOW, DO YOU LIKE IT?
Q- DOES THIS SONG GET SUCK IN YOUR HEAD?
Katy Perry co-wrote the song with Cathy Dennis and Max Martin who have both written some of Britney Spears’ hits, but the song's lyrics were very divisive at the time. The bi-curious theme of the song was criticized by many in the LGBTQ+ community as a marketing gimmick. And the lyrics describe her same-sex kiss as “Not what good girls do, not how they should behave” but in retrospect many now say it was the beginning of LGBT awareness in pop music
DISCUSS
Q- ARE THE LYRICS PROBLEMATIC?
Q- DID THIS BRING BISEXUALITY MORE INTO THE MAINSTREAM?
Q- COULD THIS BE RELEASED NOW OR WOULD IT BE UNACCEPTABLE FOR A STRAIGHT PERSON TO SING A SONG LIKE THIS?
Well whether you loved it or hated it, ‘I Kissed A Girl’ launched Katy Perry’s career and the track blew up so quickly that she was invited to perform live at the MTV Latin America Awards. Katy gave a great performance but it was the ending that we will never forget. She finished the song, then jumped face-first onto a giant cake, a decision she probably regretted instantly…

In 2003, a TV show was broadcast which changed the way we see everything. We were treated to the Cooper and Cohen families when we started watching The OC.
And OG cast member Rachel Bilson has thrown some kindling on the fire that is burning us up...the speculation that the OC is returning.

Q- ARE THE LYRICS PROBLEMATIC?
Q- DID THIS BRING BISEXUALITY MORE INTO THE MAINSTREAM?
Q- COULD THIS BE RELEASED NOW OR WOULD IT BE UNACCEPTABLE FOR A STRAIGHT PERSON TO SING A SONG LIKE THIS?
Well whether you loved it or hated it, ‘I Kissed A Girl’ launched Katy Perry’s career and the track blew up so quickly that she was invited to perform live at the MTV Latin America Awards. Katy gave a great performance but it was the ending that we will never forget. She finished the song, then jumped face-first onto a giant cake, a decision she probably regretted instantly…

18:06:30 - THATS NOT REAL LIFE (04)
Movies and TV are meant to transport us from our day to day lives, but sometimes they fail... as they are so far removed from reality.
A post on reddit has gone viral in the last 24 hours.
READ OVER
It reads “What happens in movies or TV that seems to be normal and you think to yourself “that is not what people in real life do”?
There are plenty of examples of these in the comments
READ OVER 04B_PIP OVER_REDDIT USER 1 _2804
One user commented, “When they knock on the door or ring the doorbell and someone opens it within 2 seconds”.

Another “Having highly confidential conversations about 4 foot away from the people they are talking about, and not being overheard.”

Q - DO YOU EVER NOTICE THESE IN FILMS AND TV SHOWS?

Last week, he confirmed Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber will be on a song together. Justin Bieber also featured on Khaled’s last album, ‘Father of Asahd’ back in 2019 for the song ‘No Brainer’ with Chance the Rapper and Quavo:

Speaking of Drake… there’s a good chance he’ll also make an appearance on ‘Khaled Khaled’.

At least, in a LIT SNOOP, that’s what fans speculated back in September when DJ Khaled posted this photo to his Instagram of an owl with a key. The symbol for Drake’s label and fashion brand, OVO is an owl, and “major key” is a DJ Khaled-coined phrase.

In another LIT SNOOP, we found DJ Khaled has also been dropping major hints for weeks on Twitter, by flying out certain artists to Jamaica, where he’s reportedly been recording the album.
TALK OVER 18G_PIP OVER_BOUNTY BUJU AND CAPLETON_2804
It looks like he’s tapping into his Jamaican roots for a reggae-dancehall sound, by recruiting the likes of Bounty Killer, Buju Banton and Capleton. He told his Twitter followers: “I never forget where I’m from.”

Other artists he’s flown out in recent weeks:

Lil Wayne, who is a long-time collaborator with Khaled, including for “I’m The One” which appeared on DJ Khaled’s 2017 album ‘Grateful’ and also featured the A-Team: Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper and Quavo.
TALK OVER 18H_PIP OVER_HER AND MIGOS_2804
Speaking of Quavo… the whole Migos group was also flown out to Jamaica to record - which DJ Khlaed shared to Twitter. He also shared one with H.E.R.! This would be her first time Khaled collaboration.

19:16:30 - HISTORY OF DENIM (05)
It’s national denim day and whether you dare to double denim, or just can’t throw out that favourite pair of jeans even though your foot gets stuck in the holes every time you put them on - we’re here to celebrate the fabric that’s so versatile it’s worn everywhere from farms to the red carpet.
Of course many of our favourite celeb moments have been clad in denim, let's take a look at some famous fans of the fabric…

Q- WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE DENIM ITEM THAT YOU OWN?
Q- WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE DENIM CELEBRITY LOOK?
Q- FAVOURITE WAY TO CUSTOMISE DENIM? BLEACHED? BEDAZZLED? DISTRESSED?
Denim has been an important fabric throughout history, especially in America. The most famous brand of jeans in the world, Levi’s, was founded in California in 1853 and twenty years later in 1873, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis submitted a patent to create work pants reinforced with metal rivets, marking the birth of one of the world's most famous garments: blue jeans.
Later on in the 90’s Levi’s commercials became a full on event because of their blatant sex-appeal, like this one featuring a very young brad Pitt...
