How Sad

Filed under: Anglophilia > Z List

She's resorted to this!

Macy Gray was once a chart-topping artist.

These days????

The I Try singer is making ends meet by working as a DJ.

Gray spun the turntables at Dolce nightclub in London on Thursday night.

Will she play our house party next weekend???

How can someone of YOUR caliber give someone like Macy Gray shit? Have you starred in any movies lately, sold any multi-platinum albums??? Asshole. Maybe she does it for fun, what a concept!

Her last album that came out about a year ago was really good. It's tough to make it in music these days because every radio station plays the same shit that about ten people want to hear. That's why the whole business is going down the drain. Who even listens to the radio anymore?

That's what happens when Christina Aguilera gets your Best New Artist Grammy. Puch.

Why is that sad? Uh, its normal dude. Instead of forcing crap down our throats shes understands that she had her hit and theres not more following it. She obviously loves music and she can use her creative side as a dj.

STOP BEING MEAN. Theres no point. You could have just said that she has been working as a dj and everything would have been just fine.

That's the music industry for you. If you don't fit in a commercial mode, then you don't get the same support from your label. You could be the best artist in the world, but if there's no marketing budget behind your project, how is anyone going to know about you? Macy, if you read this, GO INDEPENDENT and release your own shit. Tour. Use the internet to promote yourself. Hire an intern to show you how to do it.

She was overrated from the get-go (like Perez), and became a massive bitch (like Perez) when she thought she was famous. Now nobody gives a rats ass about her (like Perez will soon feel) and will resort to doing anything to remain in the public's eye (like Perez).

Since when working was a bad thing? You are always posting horrible things about people who are not longer in "showbusiness". It will happen to you…Or do you think 3 years from now your website will be as popular as is today? People will get tired of your hate and will no longer find you funny.- Then what will you do? You suck as an actor, you don't sing, your clothes are a disaster…what will you do?

Perez:

Don't be daft. Maybe she LIKES djing?!?!! If anyone knows the ups and downs of the fame game, it should be you. Someday when you're on a local TV spot selling used Chevys, think back to this post.

25

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Macy Gray working as a DJ? Perez, tell me you're kidding!! You're kidding, right? Right? At one time she was one of the hottest singers on the charts…even though she sounded stoned much of the time but no way would I have imagined she's go down to THIS. Please tell me you're kidding!
Kewi says – reply to this

26

SHUT UP PEREZ!! Macy Gray is really talented. I didn't even consider myself a fan until I went to a show that she had at the House of Blues in Chicago last year. It was FANTASTIC! THE MUSIC INDUSTRY SUCKS!! They promote corporate acts. MACY'S LAST ALBUM WAS REALLY GOOD!!!
Lala says – reply to this

Maybe SHE is happier!?
She W says – reply to this

28

She's a ONE HIT WONDER! Is anyone surprised by this? Go find out what Lisa Fischer, Allanah Miles or Joan Allen are up to these days. She should be happy she had that one song, some artists never get that.

Anyone rememeber when she has that cameo in the Spider-Man movie? How stupid random was that…she's a NOBODY and DOESN'T SELL RECORDS!

Talent schmalent…she's annoying and she's NOT A STAR!
mgr says – reply to this

MACY, don't give up!!! you're so talented! we need special, talented musicians like yourself in the music industry. you're way better than the soulless, vapid child-artists out there like the jonas boys, miley ray…
thtat says – reply to this

She is a musical artist, and DJ-ing is a part of that. Pretty funny that the comments about HER are coming from a mean-spirited barnacle who has nothing but a low level talent for making fun of people, Perez. And it has been a really slow celeb-bashing month because you are making many mountains out of molehills lately. Snore.
r says – reply to this

31

i agree with lola…you're times a tickin'
have you ever heard or a hobby? i'm sure benji madden and ryan gosling aren't struggling for money with they go out and dj. what's the big deal?….YOU MUST HAVE BEEN LOW ON CASH WHEN YOU DID "CELEBRITY" RAP SUPERSTAR…you assume a lot of things because you have nothing better to talk about…
Mimmi says – reply to this

32

Hey you dumbfuck Mario ever think maybe she just enjoys doing the DJ thing? Who's to say she's a loser because of it? You? Please you are a wannabe who has to try and out, fuck over, talk shit about all these celebs because you can't be one.
seria says – reply to this

33

Let me get this right… Ryan Gosling has a regular gig as a DJ and you think it’s awesome, yet Macy Gray is a total looser for being a DJ?!? Perfect case of double standard!

sometimes your fucked up Perez. Really, she has already suceeded, in her way, she can do whatever she wants.

she l had to spell it out for you.

she was talented, had a few hits, but the word is few. And you don't know, maybe she went thru all her money or maybe she does this to keep busy. At least she realizes things and is not out there performing in front of 5 people

According to WENN website Macy Gray performed in concert last night at the Indig O2 in London, England (7/31/2008). I believe it's a little premature to trash her as an has-been artist. I sure Perezhilton would not like it if you were trashed as a has-been, washed up, non-talented worthless z-list gossip writer…
dani says – reply to this

41

What's sad about it? She's doing creative work, she's gifted, beautiful…everyone knows fame is fickle and often fleeting - sad would be if she drank herself into oblivion because she couldn't have her first choice in jobs.

Such a damn SHAME CAUSE SHE IS SOO TALENTED! SEE WHAT WHITE AMERICA DOES! Case and point, Talent like Mrs. - The Great Macy Gray is brought down cause she isnt white and what White america wants, sooo she is shipped out, but someone like BRITNEY SPEARS AND PARIS HILTON ARE ALL OVER THE MAGAZINES AND THEY DONT HAVE AN INCH OF TALENT. Its such a shame, im ashamed to be an AMERICAN.

I LOVE MACY GRAY! AMERICA SHOULD BE BOYCOTTED.

Macy Grey DJ's just like everyone else is hollywood. I've heard her music in and after movies lately. The tunes aren't commericial enough for radio, and that's what makes them so good. She's making money where you don't think to look. She's making plenty of money my friends. Washed up? Dumbass. Stop listening to the radio and watching MTV.

HOW CAN YOU HAVE A HOUSE PARTY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HOUSE? I SAW YOUR CRAPPY APARTMENT ON CRIBS. I WONDER IF MACY GRAY HAS A PIECE OF SHIT RENTAL? I'D GUESS NOT.

you racist fat greasy pig. Perez, why is it cool when white celebs dj and sad and pathetic when a black female MUSIC artist spins? Oh, it's cool when its Justin timberlake or LoHan or Gosling. you are such a racist fag most times.

No…Perez, she was actually a DJ before she sang songs.

when Pez (the dispenser of all things hateful and ugly) finally realizes that his so called "career" is in the crapper, I hope that someone comes along and kicks the shit out of him so that he will see what his so called "career" was all about. How disgusting to be making such rude judgments about people. For all we know she is happier than she has ever been. Why should anyone judge anyone else's success. It can't even be clearly defined. What exactly is success?

Give her a break…It is better to be a has-been than a never-was…This site will be soon be washed up.

people don't be fooled, Perez Hilton is no success. I'm sure anyone who can put out all the uglu messages day after day must cry himself to sleep over something. Perez is as miserable as all the shit he posts on this blog. He just needs to try and point out the facets of life that reflect his existence. Its just like the fucking train wrecka nd we are all just looking in disbelief. Perez is a loser.

I saw her attempt to sing the National anthem at the Hall of Fame game several years ago. Forgot the words, seemed drunk, started laughing and left before finishing the song.
Based on that performance, she's lucky to have any job!

Really, you are just so mean anymore, are "we" touchy while "we" are dieting or something?!? What happened to you, what if she LIKES Djing??? Have you thought of that, what's wrong with people being happy?? You're so bitter, what's wrong, no buns to hold your hotdog lately??

EW. I saw her spin in Miami and it was HORRIBLE … I left after 10 mins … really really bad … plus they made me get up, so they could make the area i was sitting a VIP section for her which they roped off …. soooo tacky

I am sooo tired you Perez calling people has beens or Z list or D list. He's like the Royal Snobbs, not liking people if they're not in the right group.
Just because someone was in a hit movie and now is not in a hit movie, but is still acting doesn't mean they are Z list. Just because someone is dj-ing instead of doing concerts, for whatever reason doesn't mean they are z list. Everyone in Hollywood has a short window for displaying their wares. It all comes to an end, for some sooner than others. Take heed Miley. Dont' spend all your cash. And so when that star fades a bit for the time being, they should be allowed to do what they want or can until their star shines again. It's all cyclical…. Asshole

Re: WHITE – You're an idiot. It's not what White America does. Maybe it's because Black America or youthful America downloads stolen music. Or maybe it's because the followers of the Miley like Miley's trashy white self. There is no black Miley because there is no want for a Black Miley.
alex says – reply to this

74

So because she isn't a chart topper anymore means she's hard up for cash and has to DJ? Yet whenever you post about another celeb DJ'ing you don't spin the story that way at all. I'm not some Macy Gray fan or anything, but sometimes I get sick of your stupid remarks that aren't even slightly comedic (and if you weren't going for that what were you doing besides talking trash for no reason at all?)

78

Not that I am a fan of Macy's, but Dolce is a very exclusive members only nightclub in London… So i don't think that is it pathetic for her to be djing there. Actually, it could definitely been seen as an honor to be chosen to DJ at such an exclusive club. Power to her for trying something different- but if she does start doing house parties, let me know……
mo says – reply to this

79

and another example of how much of a tool perez hilton is. ryan gosling dj's, it's cool and he's hip. but macy gray, who's actually in the music business, it's to pay the rent. hypocrite much? douche bag

Geez, Perez, you make DJ'ing sound like a bad thing. What an insult. If that had been John Mayer DJ'ing, I'll bet you'd have nothing but high praise for him.

Perez, what is sad is that your fat ass is making fun of someone for working. What the do you expect her to do? Redeem bottles? If your ass doesn't want to see her DJ then why don't you give her a job, since you have way more money than her and the people you make fun of on here daily. (sarcasm)

Perez needs to get all the facts!! Macy Gray played a sellout show at the IndigO2 at London's O2 Arena earlier in the evening. The DJ slot was just for fun because Macy lives and loves the funk!!!

solely commenting on her dj skills alone, she sucks. she killed the dance floor more than a few times, she picked good tunes but getting into one song from the other was jarring and every time you had a flow, dancing, having fun, she'd kill it. right song choices, wrong combos. work on ur skills before you go out in public calling yourself a dj, i've seen better dj's at hole in the wall lounges that don't have the clout to get in hollywood clubs 10x better than this chick.
b24 says – reply to this

91

Only in the United States are people actually publically chastized for WORKING. I suppose we would prefer that she be on unemployment or welfare instead? Get a grip. There's nothing sad about having the guts to get out of bed and having the gumption to make ends meet. Her bills still have to paid whether she's playing with a band or behind a dj booth. I doubt anyone here would rise to the challenge of paying her bills for her, so why judge?

Ah ignorance is bliss you yobs. As someone who has played in bands for over 30 years I can tell you from experience dj-ing is a DOWNGRADE. Think about it: "that bass player from that band is great, but I sure would like to see him shop for music! Now that would rock!"
For a great Macy story find the Henry Rollins story from his spoken word cd's where he played with her a a huge fest & she sang one song, spent the rest of the time sitting on the drum riser.

Macy Gray started out as a DJ and she always talks about being a DJ. She's not stepping down she is doing what she loves.

This is so funny. I saw her at Stingaree Nightclub in San Diego a while back and I thought that it was so cool she was DJing there for the night. I never thought to put it together that she was hurting so bad……come to think of it….there weren't many people there.
Shitty shitty bum bum.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
