Coyote Ugly, a toxic cocktail in which Piper Perabo and a cast of well-toned babes shake, shake, shake on a New York bar while drooling drunks, kept in check by a PG-13 rating, leer on cue. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer claims he's made a film about female empowerment, but it's soft-core pap for horny boys and their hornier dads.

    Ed Sheeran | 2011

Sheeran says he culls songwriting inspiration from "viewing other people's situations," which, for the heroine in "The A Team," involves drug addiction and prostitution that began as a teen. Sheeran paints the woman's trials with haunting imagery such as "But lately her face seems/Slowly sinking, wasting/Crumbling like pastries." "I did a gig at a homeless shelter, [and the song] is about one of the women there. It's her story," he said.
