Marcel Vigneron Has a Beard (and It's Not Elia Aboumrad)

Possums, when faithful Amuse-Biatch reader Melanie sent us this photograph of Marcel Vigneron on an Alaskan fishing trip, our first reaction was, "Ooooh, how butch."

Our second reaction was, "Dear Lord, even Marcel's become a bear. Does that mean the trend's as dead as foam?"

We just wish we'd had this picture to illustrate this post last season. Still, better late than never.

At last, the Wolverine transformation is complete.

For Immediate Release: OutKast Unveils Cover Art, Track Listing, for New Album

We've just received the following press release in our inbox:

It's official! Astro Boy and Big Boi, together at last, together forever and livin' large, are proud to announce the release of the new OutKast album, on Tuesday, January 30, right before the finale of Astro Boy's latest gig, Top Chef, on Bravo (1o p.m. Eastern /9 p.m. Central).

We are sharing with you, our fans, a sneak peek of the cover art for Foam on the Range, a concept album. We're still mixing a couple of tracks, and getting a couple of more guest artists to lay down some phat beats for us, but here's a little taste of some of the choicest cuts:

There's No Place Like Foam (featuring Gelee Furtado)

When in Foam

The Darker the Cherry, the Sweeter the Foam, featuring a sample from Gelee Roll Morton

Foam for the Holidays (Christmas in Ibiza Remix)

Foam (If You Want To)

Foamo-Homo (Which I'm Not), a power ballad, OutKast style, meant as a "foamage" or "fauxmage" to Astro Boy's boy, Ilan Hall, and as a call for an end to homophobia in the white hip hop community

And Foamin' at the Mouth aka Foamin', Frontin', Part V, another track dedicated to Ilan Hall and inspired by R. Kelly

Release date: 01/30/07
