Musica Globalista: Congratulations, Severina and Emina

*Call me sentimental, but there's something heart-warming about an ardently nationalist Croatian pop-singer who has the illegitimate son of a Serbian millionaire. It's just so transgressive and Balkan.

*This kid is truly gonna be a citizen of his times. We should all wish him well.

*In other regional music news, Serbian pop star Emina Jahovic just had a second son by her Turkish husband Mustafa Sandal. It's like these gutsy chanteuses can re-unite the Ottoman Empire all by themselves.

*The greatest Severina video ever made, and that includes the unfortunate Internet sex tapes, which I wouldn't be so ungentlemanly as to mention, if they weren't splattered all over Wikipedia.

*The stately Mrs. Emina Sandal is no slouch in the video biz, either.
