Jamie Bamber in New PETA Ad
Battlestar Galactica's Jamie Bamber Bares Skin to Save Bears in New PETA Ad. Each year, countless black bears in Canada are shot and killed, often in front of their cubs, using a cruel practice called "bait and shoot," which is banned in British Columbia and many U.S. states. Their fur is then sent to the U.K. to be used to make caps for the Queen's guards. Hunters put food in barrels or at "bait spots" to attract hungry bears, who are then shot when they come to eat. These intelligent, curious animals are often shot several times, and many escape wounded only to die later from blood loss, infection, or starvation. -Fur is Dead.Please, CLICK HERE to take action on this issue. Don't forget, you can also visit FurisDead.com or Peta.org to learn more and become involved!

[MP3] Miley Cyrus- "The Climb" Country Version
Miley Cyrus will be releasing her own first single to country radio this week. The song chosen is "The Climb" - the first single released from the Hannah Montana Movie Soundtrack which will be in stores on March 24th. Obviously, the song was remixed from its original Pop sound as a Country song and I see this becoming a hit for Miley on the Country charts as well. I know, it's damn hard to admit, but the girl has put out a great track. Enjoy.
[MP3] Miley Cyrus- "The Climb" (Country Version)Black Eyed Peas- "Boom Boom Pow"
Here it is! The first single to be released from the Black Eyed Peas' new album The E.N.D., the song is called "Boom Boom Pow" and it's definitely a catchy track but not as good as what we're used to hearing from this group. Take a listen, enjoy.

Kelly Clarkson- All I Ever Wanted [iTunes Rip]
Kelly Clarkson returns full on to the Pop genre with her latest album All I Ever Wanted to hit stores March 10th. The album is great to say the least. It's filled with some great uptempo pop songs that if released as singles could become sure hits for Clarkson. Some of those tracks include the already #1 single "My Life Would Suck Without You", "Don't Let Me Stop You", "I Do Not Hook Up" and "Long Shot".The slower songs that jump out to me the most are "Cry" which is a nice well-written ballad. "Already Gone" is great, I had to play it on repeat a couple of times. Very nice, I hope this becomes a single. The final ballad on the album is "If No One Will Listen", I say Kelly never disappoints with her power ballads, this is yet another great song on the album!
Then there's the song called "Whyyawannabringmedown" - interesting title! Haha, I think the song is not bad, I actually would like this song if it wasn't sung by Kelly Clarkson. I feel like it fits more with the style of Avril Lavigne or Paramore. I just think that the song doesn't sound natural on Kelly.
Now, going back to the rumored second single, the song is called "I Do Not Hook Up" which was written by Kara DioGuardi and Katy Perry. I like the song but I actually prefer Katy's version. Yeah, go figure. Either way, I'm sure if they do release this as the next single it's going to become yet another top ten hit for Kelly.
"Impossible", "All I Ever Wanted" and "If I Can't Have You" are some definitely catchy songs with big success potential. Not the best on the album, but great tracks nonetheless.
The songs that I just wanted to skip are "Save You", "Ready" and "I Want You". I think they're the weakest songs on the album... I wouldn't say they suck, maybe they need more plays for me to get familiar with them, but right now... not my faves.
Overall, this album is much much better than My December but not as good as Breakaway. I would give this album a rating of 8 out of 10. What I like the most is that there are a lot of songs to pick from to be singles and they would do great on the charts. Congrats to Kelly on this one!
Now, if you want to download the album and listen for yourself, you can find the download link in this post's comments space! Don't forget to buy your own copy of the album March 10th.
Twilight Saga- New Moon Release Date
MTV News has the scoop on the official name and logo for Chris Weitz’s soon-to-film sequel to “Twilight.” Dubbed “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon” (although the title treatment leaves off the “’s”) the film’s official title art stays true to the look of the first movie while swapping in an orange tint, a subtle crescent moon, and the release date of 11.20.09.

Rihanna- Real Injuries Picture Leaks!
Wow - that's all I have to say. What Chris Brown did to Rihanna is brutal, I can't believe he would do that to a woman. Here is the first picture of Rihanna's injuries caused by her boyfriend Chris Brown published by TMZ.com. Unbelievable.PS: I apologize to Brown's fans, but we do not support any type of violence, and as a result The Best Damn Blog will NOT be posting anything on Chris Brown's career after this. He doesn't deserve any kind of support or promotion from TBDB.
I do hope Rihanna recovers soon and returns with her head held high.
Thoughts?
Nickelback- "I'd Come For You" [Music Video]
Nickelback released the music video for "I'd Come For You", which is one of the singles to be released from their album Dark Horse which was recently certified Platinum for sales of over one million copies. I'm a little confused with their single choice, I thought "If Today Was Your Last Day" was the next single until they said "Something In Your Mouth" would be it... and now, we're getting this one. I'm not complaining though, I think it's a great song. Enjoy the video.

Brooke Hogan Ft. Stack$- "Falling"
Oh gee, Brooke Hogan is giving music another try and now she's released her new single "Falling" on YouTube. I think Brooke might be trying too hard to make it into the music scene... and honestly, if her single "About Us" couldn't do it for her, this single isn't going to take her anywhere at all. I feel like this song just isn't for Brooke.
