The great law peoples of Britain granted Amy Winehouse and her ex-hubby Blake a divorce after the torture never stopped for two years.

They were a match made in reality TV: Blake was in jail six months after they married, yet it was he who filed for divorce after he found out Amy was banging other guys. This all happened between drunken benders, public fights, multiple arrests, all while Winehouse’s star elevated her as one of the worst pop stars of the decade. How did VH1 not pick this up to go back-to-back with "Flavor of Love"?

Forget all the plastic surgery, child-molestation cases, and putting nets over his kids’ heads while in public for a moment. I’m not going there today.

Michael Jackson is responsible for the two greatest pop songs ever written.

At the tail end of 1969 the Jackson 5 dropped their first single, “Want You Back,” on the unsuspecting world. By the time you realize fingertips have tickled a piano your ears pick up the guitar strumming the beat. The piano riff is shaking your hips for you. A spaced out clap lets you know your feet are gonna be joining your hips in a few seconds. As the lead guitar flows over the rhythm and the strings take things a little higher, the pulse builds over a 20-second introduction to a song that makes anyone within shouting distance bust a move and a child’s voice unleashes an affirming “Uh-huuuuuuuuuuh” over the dance party.
