What’s Hot is here again on a slow Sunday afternoon. No casting/storyline spoilers in today’s edition.
A couple of newsworthy notes from Dancing with the Stars. Current contestant, Olympic gold medal winner Misty May-Treanor, suffered an injury on Friday that required immediate attention. Sources say it was her Achilles tendon. The official word from producers is: “Despite previous reports, she did not break her ankle. She is resting comfortably at home. Doctors will reevaluate her condition on Monday and determine the outcome of her participation on the show.” Previous winner Helio Castroneves plead not guilty to charges of tax evasion. He appeared in court wearing handcuff and leg chains and was released on $10 million bail. His release stipulates that he will be able to travel for work, but that is restricted to the US only. This means it is likely he will miss a race in Australia later this month. (more…)

[ad]Missy Higgins has a haunting new song in Where I Stood. The simple melody gets into your soul. If you have ever been madly in love and stop to listen to the lyrics be straight, gay, or otherwise they will strike a chord with you too.
Once described as “…the antithesis of the manufactured pop starlet…” Missy sits fine in my view of Australian Indie Music. One of the things I love most of her music is the fact she still has her accent when she sings. I hear her know without a doubt that she is Australian. While I am sure some will mistake the origin of her accent, that doesn’t matter.The fact it hasn’t been removed during in a million dollars of overproducing makes this music real for me.
You can listen to Missy’s latest album On a Clear Night, which includes Where I Stood on her website: www.missyhiggins.com I couldn’t find a bad track on the entire album and will soon be ordering a copy for myself.
Below are several YouTube clips of other songs of her from previous releases. They are great and deserve a listen. Once you do I think you be as smitten as I am. (more…)
