Annie Lennox Doesn’t Think Twerking is Feminist

October 23rd, 2014 By Krysta Fitzpatrick

Growing up, I fucking loved Annie Lennox. “Walking on Broken Glass” was (and still is) my JAM, and I always thought she was a super cool feminist, but, not unlike Beyonc? (who she recently threw major feminist shade at), Annie has let me down. First, she slammed Beyonc? for her “feminist lite”, which I could get behind because thanks to Beyonc?’s STUNT QUEEN antics and thigh gap photoshopping, I’m starting to think that Queen Bey doesn’t practice what she preaches.

So, you wanna throw shade at Beyonc?? Fine. I hear you. But when you come on full blast with your passive-aggressive bullshit about how female popstars today and their twerking isn’t empowering them or doing anything for feminism, I have to roll my eyes. Because you know what’s not feminist? Telling other women what empowers them.

Annie Lennox Shares Stress Relieving Tips (Note: Dave Stewart Is No Longer In Her Life)

November 15th, 2011 By Mof Gimmers

Imagine being Annie Lennox. Just think of that for a moment. Gah. It’s rubbish isn’t it? Just think, looking at Annie Lennox’s face in the mirror. Imagine hearing that voice coming out every time you spoke.

Imagine people saying “Hello Annie Lennox” at you. It’s enough to make you want to die.

Annie Lennox has noticed this too, opening up about her battle with panic attacks thanks to being Annie Lennox. However, she’s decided to share some tips with us all about getting over stress, panic and anxiety. You’ll notice that her life is a lot less Dave Stewart based these days, so we suspect the main tip would be “don’t ever work with Dave Stewart – have you heard that terrible cod-reggae album he’s made with Mick Jagger and Joss Stone?”

It Isn’t Annie Lennox’s OBE That Surprised Us, It Is The Fact She Thinks She’s A Renegade

December 31st, 2010 By Mof Gimmers

Annie Lennox – who used to sing songs with Eurythmics – has been awarded an OBE in Queen Elizabeth II’s New Year’s Honours list. She’s doling them out to any old clown now isn’t she? Do you think hecklerspray should send the suit to the dry cleaners in case we get a call-up?

Anyway, Lennox has been honoured for her charity work in Africa which is, y’know, very good and all that gubbins.

However, what is surprising about this gong is not that she’s been recognised, but rather, the manner in which she accepted it. Apparently, she’s some kind of renegade. You heard.

American Idol: Goodbye Tim Urban, You Genuinely Dreadful Man

August 5th, 2012 By Stuart Heritage

With Idol Gives Back, American Idol tries to shed its evil corporate puppetmaster image and do some good.

And, last night, it did some good. By raising money for Feeding America? No. By raising money for Malaria No More? No. By raising money for the Children’s Health Fund? No. Last night on Idol Gives Back, American Idol did some good by grabbing useless reggae-singing grinning Osmond haircut Tim Urban by the scruff of the neck and jettisoning him somewhere far, far away where nobody will ever hear from him ever again.

What’s more, because Idol Gives Back was overrunning so hideously, American Idol didn’t even give Tim Urban the chance to sing his obligatory goodbye song. Truly, Idol Gives Back, the world would be a much worse place without you.
