Personal life [link]
At 13, she moved out of her mother’s house and went to live with her aunt.[2] A resident of Portland, Oregon, she is a close friend of Scissor Sisters lead singer Ana Matronic, and considers her favorite song to be "Oh Bondage, Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex. She courted mild controversy in 2006 when, during an interview for NME magazine, she claimed to have eaten squirrels as a child, saying that "people in Arkansas just do – they'd think you were a freak if you ate squid there!"[3]
Ditto is known for her noticeable stage dances and her unique and revealing image. She classes herself as a punk, and thus does not wear deodorant or shave under her armpits, having once remarked that "I think punks usually smell".[4] She also formerly contributed an advice column on body image to The Guardian newspaper.[5]
In February 2009, she was featured in London as the cover model for the premiere of Love magazine with prominent public advertising.[6] On July 9, 2009, Beth's fashion collection for the UK retailer Evans was released for sale, both online, and in selected stores across the UK.[7]
Ditto, who is a lesbian, is well known for her outspoken support of both LGBT and feminist causes.[8]
Her most recent modeling work consisted of opening the[9] Jean Paul Gaultier spring 2011 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week on October 2, 2010.

Graffiti (Chris Brown album)
Graffiti is the third studio album by American R&B and pop recording artist Chris Brown. It is the follow-up to his successful second album Exclusive (2007). The album was produced during 2008 to 2009 by several record producers, including Polow Da Don, Swizz Beatz, The Runners, and Brian Kennedy. Primarily an R&B and pop outing, Graffiti incorporates elements of hip hop music with synthesizers.
The album debuted at number seven on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 102,489 copies in its first week. To date, "Graffiti" has sold 360,000 copies in the US. It became his third consecutive top-ten debut in the United States and produced three singles that achieved moderate chart success. Upon its release, Graffiti received generally negative reviews from most music critics. Graffiti was nominated for two Grammy Awards, one for Best Contemporary R&B Album and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for the track, "Take My Time" featuring fellow R&B singer Tank.
Pass Out (song)
"Pass Out" is the debut single by British rapper Tinie Tempah. It is the lead single from his debut studio album Disc-Overy (2010) and his debut single on Parlophone. The song was a digital-only release and was available to download in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2009. Producer and writer Labrinth provides vocals on the song's hook, but is uncredited. A remix featuring Snoop Dogg was released in the United States on 16 November 2010 for digital download. In 2011, Labrinth revealed that Tinie would be releasing "Pass Out" in the US. It was re-serviced to radio stations in the United States as the third single from Disc-Overy in October 2011.
"Pass Out" won Best British Single at the 2011 BRIT Awards and Best Contemporary Song at the 2011 Ivor Novello Awards. The song is featured on the Madden NFL 12 soundtrack.

Open Heart Surgery
by: Beth DittoI'll open up if you make an incision
I'll do right by you
All I ask is for your care and precision
And maybe I could pull through
You could've saved me if you'd only known better
But you so carlessly
Took me apart and put me back together
Open heart surgery
I was fine at first
Now I assume the worst
When I could overhear
The repercussions of a sad discussion
Another girl in tears
I could've saved here if I only knew better
That you so carelessly
Took her apart and put her back together
Open heart surgery
If girls like you and girls like me
Are really a dime a dozen
Why are we in such a high demand
My mother says it's just a shame you don't come around too often
Even she's begun to understand
Just let me know
What you were thinking
I find a way to get along somehow
Just let me go
Don't leave me hanging
Oh, please don't fail me now
Just take it slow
Don't let me suffer
I'm on the verge of an emergency
The final blow
Will make me tougher
Until then you will always be
A danger to me
We should've listened to our intuition
But we knew all to well
In addition to our suspicions
Only time could tell
With friends like you I get confused
Who needs enemies
We've been here too many times before
Open heart surgery
If girls like you and girls like me
Are really a dime a dozens
Why are we in such a high demand
My mother says it's just a shame you don't come around too often
Even she's begun to understand
Just let me know
What you were thinking
I find a way to get along somehow
Just let me go
Don't leave me hanging
Oh, please don't fail me now
Just take it slow
Don't let me suffer
I'm on the verge of an emergency
The final blow
Will make me tougher
Until then you will always be
A danger to me
A danger to me
