I was just listening to "Heaven Is A Place On Earth". Jam back in 1987.

She seemed to disappear. Remember the Playboy spread?

Belinda went on "Vacation" and hasn't been seen since. Sorry, couldn't resist the smart-ass pun.

and that song was anything but "heaven on earth"..

but i loved me some "i get weak"...

I saw her in a pub last night! She was drunk and dancing on the counter with a bottle of vodka in her hand while singing "uuooooo, Heeeaaaaaven is a pub oooon Eeeeaaarth"!

I almost stepped to her to ask her number but somebody hitted me with a cup...that's all I can remember...

Good question!

she did playboy a few years ago and looked great.

Tom said:

Damn! Who hasn't done Playboy?

Let's see: Tiffany, Belinda, Jody Watley - guess Britney's next after she drops the load...

The Playboy spread was pretty hot. I don't buy it, but I had to see what she looked like naked. Not dissapointing. That came out when I think the Go Gos last album dropped as well. I think it was heavily hinted that she was using the shoot to reengergize her solo career but I haven't seen anything buy her...hell, they even stopped releasing compilations of her stuff! Her solo records weren't bad. The only full album I had of hers (on tape...not sure where it is now) was "Runaway Horses" and it was really good and different. Now with the exception of her big hit songs, her greatest hits CD was kind of dissapointing with most of the songs sounding the same.

nowhere, obviously, or you wouldn't have to ask.

she had a disc around 96 or 97 or 98 that was pretty good. light stuff, but please enough adult contemporary.

Well sometimes girls like Belinda hang out in Europe and release music. I think she lives in Paris, but it doesn't seem like she's doing anything there either.

VinnyM27 said:

ah, Paris. where 80's stars go to die. Molly Ringwald, Belinda Carlisle....

She still tours with the Go-Gos.I think they recently performed in my area.But her solo career is non-existent these days.

DavidEye said:

why did i have a dream about the go-gos last night? they were in the movie i was watching....there was a chase and the girls were in a bus....they helped the lead actress in the film "win the day".

and the bangles were with them all..

she was on Hells kitchen with Gordon Ramsey the chef,

and got a bollocking,

She looks like a completely different person without make-up.

albums (solo)



















.....Rumours of a new album were rife between 1998 and 1999 - and it looked very much like a reality when 1999 dawned. But speculation was all this ever was. As Belinda went silent on the new project, and Virgin were equally as forthcoming - it seemed, at the least, like it would be delayed for a time yet.

Later in the year virgin announced The Best of Belinda Volume 2, which later became known as A Place on Earth: The Greatest Hits - which featured three new tracks which were originally intended for the new album.

One of the tracks, All God's Children was written by the producers of Cher's most recent release, Believe. It failed to reach the top 40, debuting at no.66 and dropping out of the top 100 a week later - but it captured the hearts of Belindaphiles who were screaming for something new.

The 18 track compilation was also released with a bonus disc of b-sides and remixes. A Place on Earth debuted at no.15 on the UK charts and remained there for quite a long time. Within 12 months it had sold 900,000 copies.

The year 2000 saw more empty speculation of a new album, as well as a reformation of The Go-Go's. This was to be a more solid arrangement than any possibility for a solo album, as in 2001 a brand new Go-Go's album was released under the Beyond label. God Bless The Go-Go's took off where Talk Show finished and received equally as much critical success. It did, however, fail commercially.

A sellout US tour followed in 2001 and 2002.

In 2001, at the tender age of 43, Belinda accepted an offer to appear in the August issue of Playboy. She obliged, and was Miss August, 2001. She doesn't regret the action that some frowned upon - in fact, she's quite proud of it. She proved that you don't need to be '20 years old with plastic tits' to be sexually viable, and to be viable as a woman.

In 2003, Belinda embarked on her first US tour since 1990. A commercial and critical success, Belinda proved that she still has a dedicated following among the land that chewed her up and spat 13 years ago.

With 2004 just beginning, and speculation of the new solo album enduring harder than ever, it remains to be seen what lies in store for Belinda Carlisle's musical future.

I meet Belinda, finally, last month after a Go~Go's show. She was very nice and extremely beautiful.
Here is her website...though she doesn't have an official site it's the best one around. I should know. I moderate part of it.
