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???

Who cares?
first
LOL i saw her at Shine in South Beach during Winter Music Conference. she is washed up
I like her, she's cool
that is sad…
i never liked her music
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.
1 st perez is a cyber bully in everyway shape and form
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).
Am I invited to this house party?
Perez alot of really famous people DJ now a days look at your boY Ryan Gosling why did you not make fun of him? You are a loser Marika!!!!
don't be a dork, dude … yesterday u were boasting how RYAN GOSLING was spinning at the GREEN DOOR. what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
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.
who got the invite to Perez's house party???
who got the invite to Perez's house party???
who got the invite to Perez's house party???
I think people should stop writting comments on Perez Hiltons blog that will show that no one cares about him, he is mean! Lets boycott perez!!!
You're such an asshole!
I can't wait until your 15 minutes are up.
I've always hated her voice
Didn't you already report this on your page like a month ago? Lazy ass!
This would make a great Anti drug campaign…just show a picture of her and Winehouse and caption 'You to can be a wash out…Do Drugs'
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!
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!!!
Maybe SHE is happier!?
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!
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…
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.
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…
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.
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!
try harder?
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.
that looks nothing like her…..
Leave her alone, Perez.
It's cool when Ryan Gosling does it but "Sad" when Macy Gray does??? Double standards suck…
At least she is working you fat jerk. Who are you to look down your nose at anyone?
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…
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.
She played at a club the night before you fat fcukin fudge packer

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.
She played a sell out gig in London before she went there dipshit.
I work at the venue.
Re: CK – Agreed. How dare she DJ? She's a loser. She's a has been. She has no business doing anything else besides singing. Again, I keep forgetting: conflict driven, conflict driven, conflict driven…
i feel bad for her
good for her!
by the way, she is singing at indiglO2 at the o2 centre in London tonight.. so i guess she is doing all right.
also explains why she was djing in the nightclub in London!
HOW
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.
Well a tleast she is still employed, after all gotta pay those BILLS BILLS BILLS!
She always was a self-obsessed LOSER. I hope she's bankrupt now, fuckin' semi-domesticated street ape.
isnt she half retarded? I swear I heard she was
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!
Ever thought that maybe it's what she likes and wants to do?
I heard her play a month ago in SF and she SUCKS! She turned off her CDRs in the middle of a mix. How sad =(
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??
Whats wrong with being a DJ???
Photoshop!!!!
Get out. A one hit wonder from ten, fifteen years ago.
She's lucky she's not stocking shelves at a grocery store,
like the Jackson brothers.
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
DJing is the SHIT. Don't knock it Perez…it's what all the cool kids do.
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
AND YOUR BIG MOUTH RUINS PEOPLE'S CAREERS AND PEOPLES PERCEPTIONS…. BUT THAT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. THAT'S THE FAULT OF THE LOSERS WHO LISTEN TO YOU.
Don't DJ's get all the good, free drugs?
Maybe she just thought it was fun. So what?
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.
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?)
A lot of artists dj. Why is Macy sad for doing so?
'making ends meet'?
cmon perez, you know she was waaaay more pennies than you.
She was a shit singer, so is probably a shit dj!
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……
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.
She couldn't behave herself and was irresponsible to her label, I hear….Lousey work ethic with finish you every time.
God knows why she was immortalized in that first Spider-Man movie. Talented but an obvious flash in the pan.
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)
lol since when does dj-ing mean you're trying to make ends meat. your ryan gosling is dj-ing. didn't say anything bad about him did you?
Ok whats the difference between her deekjaying and ryan gossling?
Hey Perez,
start brushing up on your turntable skills, because that'll be you in a few years
:)
this ugly thing has always been shitt
I cant stand her nasty shrieking voice
FYI Perez- Macy Gray was a DJ way before she even topped the charts. Fire your researcher.
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.
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?
I think you are trying to be funny. You know that girls loaded with dollars and talent.
shes living her dream asshole! leave her alone.
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.
perez shut up!!!
like ur a star, stop bullying people, ur hot pocket range is shit.
xxxxxxxxxxx
I would LOVE to see her top 10 list!
the fuck, i thought macy was a hot item!
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.
She couldnt keep a singing career because she is SO FUCKING CRAZY
