...You have to love those excusing co-President Dick Cheney dropping an F-bomb in a public Senate session. Aren't these the same people worked into a fire and brimstone conniption over a two-second glimpse of Janet Jackson's breast at the Super Bowl?

And while we're at it, isn't it amazing how Justin Timberlake escaped responsibility for his role in Nipplegate? It's great to be a rich white guy in America...

...ELIZABETH Tayor hasn't called it quits totally. She just allowed photographer Bruce Weber snap her for French Vogue. More surprising, she sat for an interview! And, she's on the guest list for Barbara Davis' annual Carousel Ball in October.

SPEAKING OF Barbara's Carousel fete, beauteous Halle Berry will receive the "Brass Ring" Award from Oprah Winfrey. This is a night of nights in Hollywood.

Get this stellar lineup: Nicole Kidman, Barbra Streisand, Justin Timberlake, Ben Affleck, Neil Diamond, Tea Leoni, Bette Midler, Elton John, Whoopi Goldberg, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Marisa Tomei, Rebecca De Mornay, Harrison Ford, Sting, Nicolas Cage, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams. That's how it stands right this second....

Music Freedom is now able to accept international members into its MusicFreedom.com Fan Club featuring JC Chasez.

It's 'Share JC with a Friend' Month!
(7/1/04) Kathy@DirtyPop.net

Throughout the month of July, JC fans around the world will be sharing his music with others who may as yet be unfamiliar with it. If you'd like to participate, there are four activities associated with the project:

1) Sharing JC with a friend

The project itself is simply about exposure. Share JC’s music with others. Take Schizophrenic out of your CD player and loan it to someone who isn’t currently a fan. Buy a CD for someone. Play the CD in your car or at home while unexposed friends are around. Be a part of this concerted fan effort to promote the album at the grass roots level, and create some new fans in the process.

It probably goes without saying, but just in case--  no CDs or songs are to be copied for this project.

2) Promoting "Share JC" Month

If you would like to help get the word out to other fans about "Share JC with a Friend" month, there are banners, EZBoard and LJ icons, and other graphics available here. You may direct-link to them if you don't have your own web space, but please upload to your own server if you can.

3) Best Promotional Graphic contest

A prize item autographed by JC and courtesy of MusicFreedom.com will be awarded to the designer of the best promotional graphic for "Share JC with a Friend" month.
Promo graphics can be banners, animations, LJ icons, AIM icons, EZBoard icons, buttons, wallpapers... any visual media.

Graphics must be displayed somewhere on the net in support of the event. If you need a place to host your graphics, you can send them to chasexilicious@dirtypop.net, who is graciously donating her personal web space. Please link your graphic to http://www.dirtypop.net/sharejc.html where possible, so people can get more information.

To enter your graphic(s) in the contest, a link or links to the web page(s) where the graphics are being displayed must be sent to sharejc@dirtypop.net on or before July 26, 2004.

Judges from DirtyPop.net and Music Freedom will choose the winning graphic, based on originality, quality and effectiveness as a promotional tool (effectiveness inherent to the graphic itself, not to the particular locations where it has been posted). We'll announce the winner here at DirtyPop.net on August 1, 2004. The winner will also be notified at the email address from which the entry was submitted.

4) Success stories

We’d love to hear your success stories! If you (and JC) win anyone over, let us know what they thought about the album. Emails can be sent from you, or directly from the people who enjoyed the music. Please send emails to sharejc@dirtypop.net. We'll put all the stories up here at DirtyPop!
