(You should if you're not already... F'reals, it's awesome!!!)
Anyway, the main character is Erica Evans. Better known as Juliet Burke, for any "Lost" fans out there. She's an FBI agent, and a single mom. Her son is Ty, and he has a crush on an alien.
(Creepy, right?)
Well what's creepier, and I hope I'm not alone in this, is that the alien he loves? Kiiiiinda looks like his mom.
What in god's name were Adam's handlers thinking? It's like a really bad glammer shot. You know, the kind your mom and your sisters used to get at the mall. All it needs is another faded face shot staring off in the corner to complete the look.
Ugh. If I was uninterested in your music before, the explosive properties of this tacky hyper-homosexual cover just blew it out of the water.
And not in a "oh man that was awesome"="blew it out of the water" kind of way.
In a "Gay-9: you sunk your own battleship and by battleship I do mean career" kind of way.
Hey Adam, you see how great this is?
Yet another reason America ABSOLUTELY got it right on AI last season...
Ed Westwick graced the cover of Homme magazine. I don't really have a lot to say about it.
Except maybe "yum". 'Nuf said.

Last night was the start of the fall season for many of my favorite Sunday night TV shows. Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives... everybody came back with a pretty good showing.
I have to say though -- I don't think I have EVER laughed so hard as I did at the premiere of "Family Guy". I kept having to rewind the tv because my laughing was drowning out every other line!
Just to sum it up for you... Stewie invents a remote control that transports him and Brian to varying alternate realities. Just a taste of a few of those universes...
Brian: Love it. Stewie: Hate it.
Stewie: Love it. Brian: Hate it.
Stewie: Uh, Brian? This feels wierd... Brian: Push the button!
And my favorite moment: The Griffin family as seen through the eyes of Walt Disney?
GENIUS!
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend heading over to Hulu to watch it!
The other night the producers of "So You Think You Can Dance" aired a recap episode that showed the Top 15 routines from all five seasons. I've been a huge fan since the end of season one, and getting to watch these routines again was awesome! Remember Allison and Ivan's contemporary? LOVED IT. Remember Benji and Heidi's salsa? AMAZEBALLS!
But watching all of these again really just reconfirmed that of all the routines in all of the seasons, I think my favorite rountine came from this last season when Kayla and Kupono danced a Mia Michaels routine to "Gravity" by Sara Barailles.
I've made no secret of the fact that I J'ADORE Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus both.
Taylor is my most listened to artist on my iPod, and Miley definitely ranks in my top ten.
I absolutely went to see "Hannah Montana: The Movie", and my best friend and I continue to talk about it on a regular basis (ps - it just came out on video on the 18th if you want to give it a first time viewing...)
And I recently found out that Taylor is going to be in the upcoming movie "Valentine's Day" opposite Taylor Lautner (T-Squared!) and freaked a little bit.
YA, I would say I'm a pretty big fan of both.
I've always gotten a little flack from friends when it comes to my girls. Nobody (save a handful of friends who have always shared my love) seemed to get how I could heart them so hard!
Well I'm please to report that two of my longtime nay-saying friends have finally come over to the dark side. And by "dark side" I do mean "sunshine and rainbows and riculously catchy poptacular side".
I'm a pretty emotionally stable person. Usually when confronted with whatever emotion, however strong it is, I can keep my shit together. I am, in fact, the KING of "deep breath, move on"
So you can imagine my surprise when I was reduced to tears this morning while sitting at my desk. Thanks a lot, Tyce Diorio. Thanks a lot.
I always enjoy ABC's The Bachelorette infinitesimally more than their original pre-spun formula of The Bachelor. 20 hot guys versus 20 obnoxious girls? Ya, not hard to figure out why that's true.
Anyway, this season we've been following Jillian's search for The One, and next week she's going to be making her decision. It is down to three guys: Ed, Reid, and Kiptyn.
First up, there's Ed.
Ed is a computer programmer or some such thing that lives in Chicago. Ed is also kinda dreamy, and Jillian thought so right from the get-go. But Ed fucked up pretty badly when he decided to prematurely leave the show because he was in danger of losing his job.
Then, when it was time for Jill to pick her final five, he showed up at her door saying he'd made a mistake and wanted another chance.
What?! If I were Jillian, I don't think I would've given him the chance. But it's obvious she kinda lurve's him. And, actually, I don't blame her. Did I mention that he's dreamy?
Then there's Reid, the unexpected match.
He's a self-described neurotic, and Jillian is out-and-out easy going. So they're definitely opposite. But here's my thing: being too loosey-goosey and too uptight are opposite, but they're also both crazy. And it seems that they are both openly crazy. And we all know that you find love when you let your freak flag fly! So perhaps their differences make them perfect?
And finally, there's Kiptyn. Mr Perfect.
He is to this season what Jason was the last time around (you all know Jason, the ass-hat who picked wrong and then admitted to it on the reunion re-cap thing) Anyway, Kiptyn has the great family and the great job and the greeeaaat abs. Physical chemistry is there. But I'm worried. Like I said before -- Jill is openly crazy. And Kip? Well, he isn't even a little bit crazy. He's probably the most grounded and well-adjusted of them all. Which would be perfect, so long as the girl he was pairing with was also down to earth. Which she isn't. At all.
So my guess?
Reid!
While I love me some Kiptyn (seriously ya'll, I'd do some dirty dirty things to that boy) I don't think she's going to go that direction.
Love is unconditional and a couple should balance each other. Neither should care that the other one is flawed, and the flaws should compliment. Jill will bring Reid out of his shell a bit more, and Reid may just pull her back -- which is what I truly think Jill is looking for!
The finale airs next Monday -- check back in next Tuesday to see if I was right!!!
Last night was the MTV Movie Awards. I found the show entertaining, but also a bit confusing. Like, I can't for the life of me explain why the fans went ape-shit anytime the words "Twilight" or "Pattinson" were used... Don't get me wrong, I like the vampy series. But did everyone else sit through the same movie I did? Cuz it sucked. Hard.
Anyway, the awards were given out and they made me feel very old. Ashley Tisdale as breakout female? Really?! I've definitely aged out of the MTV target demographic, haven't I...
Don't answer that.
I've come up with 10 Awards from last nights event. These awards come from the red carpet action, and not from the awards or the movies themselves.
My first award is a positive one! Trust, there are only a couple of those in here.
#1) The Most Flawless Carpet Action Award
Kristen Bell
Leighton Meester
I couldn't decide between these practically perfect ladies, so it's a tie! I can't imagine anyone could disagree.
#2) The Holy Makeover Award
Taraji P. Hensen
I didn't even recognize her at first! Really, that's the old woman from Benji Button? DAYUM. Girl is workin' that dress out.
#3) The Not-So-Great but I Love You Anyway Award
Sandra Bullock
Oh, Sandy. No no no. This is not good. But I love you, and your two up coming films look brills-balls... so we're just going to let this slide. Nice try, though.
#4) The HaHa You Married a 'Mo Award
LeAnn Rimes
I know that sounds random and maybe a little mean, but you did. And that's the only thing I can ever think of anytime I see you! So there ya go.
#5) The I Want You To Think I Don't Give a F*** Award
Megan Fox
I feel like anytime I see this bitch she's working overtime on the "I'm a sexy badass" vibe. The tattoos and eternal glare = trying way too hard. We all know that you put nothing else above your sort-of fame. So give it up. And freakin' smile every now and then. Ugh.
On a side note: I thought about tying Megan with good ole Vanessa there.
I also thought about tying Vanessa with LeAnn.
Just sayin'...
#6) The I Really Don't Give a F*** Award
Kristen Stewart
She never smiles. She's notoriously rude to her fans. She shunned her co-star dash tween heart-throb a peck after winning Best Kiss. Ya, I think I would say K.Stewart truly does not give a f*** about any of it. And I kinda love her for it. What do you think of that, BriTunes? Huh?!
#7) The I Tried but Ended Up With Mom Hair Award
Shawn Johnson
No one screamed or cheered harder for you at the Olympics. And your presence ALMOST made me watch the shitshow that is Dancing With The Stars. I love you! But Shawn, babe, that hair is not okay. It's on the verge of mid-west soccer mom status, and that is B.A.D! Quit trying and just be you -- we liked you just the way you were!
#8) The Why the Hell Are You Here? Award
Terri Seymour
I had to google her to find out who she was. Simon's ex-girlfriend? Really?! Why are you getting red carpet treatment at the awards?!? Times must be rough since splitting with the handsome-in-a-mouthy-way brit.
#9) The You Never Stood A Chance Award
Rumor Willis
Lets pretend your face doesn't ruin any chance of you ever making a "prettiest" or "best dressed" list. Rumor, darling, that dress is atrocious. You are not doing yourself any favors by sporting a board game. Or a broken window. But don't feel too bad -- it's not like you had any chance anyway because, lets be honest, we can pretend all we want but that face is still there.
And the final award is another tie.
#10) The I Wish I Was Still Relevant Award
Paris Hilton
Honey, no one cares anymore. Your ship has sailed, and you should have gone with it.
And last but not least...
MTV
Wow, MTV. I feel like you've fallen so so far. High School Musical? Twilight? Really? You're trying so hard. Remember when your network used to be about music? It's sad, really. It's like the Disney Channel got a tattoo and POOF! you were born.
You hear that, Megan Fox? Tattoos do not make you cool!
So I don't pretend to be a huge fan of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8", but last night I watched the premiere of their new season and BOY was it AWKWARD.
I spent the majority of the episode ahh-ing how adorable those kids are, and the rest of it sqirming over J&K's interviews and limited interaction.
Things don't look all that great for the couple. Jon kept saying he was "there for the kids", but I'm sorry -- looks to me like homeboy has given up. And Kate seems to have become so bitter and resigned to her "disappointment" that she can't even look at her husband. SO AWKWARD!
Those poor kids. They're little, but they totally know something is up. Best moment of the night:
Ugh. Kinda heartbreaking.
I'm a realist and of the school of thought that when it's over, it's over. Pull the rip-cord and call it quits so that people can move on. But I secretly hope that these two can pull it together!
Last night I got to head out with my besties to do a little graduation celebration!
No, I'm not graduating from anything. Either are my friends. Scotty's little sister Shanna and all of her adorable friends are though! So last night Scotty, Steve, and I jumped on the Staten Island Ferry to go see our girls.
It was a really fun night! It was a really small group of us. I think at the most we were 10. There was lots of beer pong (which normally I'm total crap at, but shockingly kinda rocked at last night) and our new favorite game: Drunk Jenga!
Drunk Jenga is just like normal Jenga, except they've written things on the pieces.
"Pick a friend and drink for ten seconds"
"Take a shot"
"Go 2 more times"
And the most important: "Add to the Cup"
Just like in King's Cup, there is one central cup that eventually the loser will chug. In Kings, it's the person who draws the final King. In Drunk Jenga, it's the bitch who knocks the tower over!
So fun - You can't wait to play with us! ;)
While we were celebrating our girls debut to "real life" (remember how easy college was? le sigh) another group of youngsters were making their debut on FOX.
"Glee" made it's premiere last night! Did you see it?
I raved about it a while back, and I've got to say -- I think I enjoyed it a lot more this second (and third and fourth) time around! They cleaned up some of the editing, re-paced a couple of sections. All in all great improvements that made me love it more than I already had. Which was not an easy thing to do :)
In case you didn't watch, he's a couple of snippets from the show. Watch them, and then I dare you to not go watch the pilot here.
If you're a LOST watcher, I can't imagine you didn't see last nights finale. But if you missed it for whatever reason, like maybe you were hit by a bus or on an airplane that got pulled onto a mystical island by some mega-magnetic anomally, you might not want to continue reading this!
They actually did the unthinkable.
Jack & Crew (well, mostly Juliet) blew up the freakin' island!
So now the plane never crashes on the island, because the force that would pull it there has been (we are to believe) destroyed. But how can there be a final season of LOST if there isn't an island???
Here's what I'm thinking...
First of all, there are some mega-bummers. Like the fact that Faraday will never be born because his prego mother just blew up.
Desmond will never have Penny, because Charles was also on the island. Sadness :(
When I got to think about it though, I decided that the possibilities could be really awesome. We have seen so many storylines evolve into wonderful relationships. I mean, tell me you didn't cry when Juliet got sucked down the well! So, let's assume now that the bomb worked and the plane never crashes. Do the people that found each other on the island still find each other if it never happens??
Enter the final season.
Kate is going to jail. Jack is going to bury his father. How in the hell are they going to cross paths and fall in love if Kate isn't free and Jack, well, isn't the incumbent hero? How will they know they're soulmates if they never get to team up to save their friends?
And who knows where Juliet will be. Will she have ever left her sister to try to impregnate the island's inhabitants if the island is a nuclear wasteland? And if she never goes there, how will she ever cross paths with Sawyer? Perhaps he will try his con on her... I mean, she's a hot successful doctor aka has money. Will she fall for his con, and him?
As sad as I am that Daniel won't be around, we could have Claire and Charlie back. I loved their relationship! But if they don't crash, will Charlie kick his heroine addiction, and will Claire give the would-be Aaron up for adoption before going back home to Australia?
And Libby could still be alive too! Would Hurley and Libby find each other in the alternate reality and be happy together?!
Ah! So many possibilities!
Of course, knowing LOST the way I do, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the final season throws us more serious curveballs. I actually kind of expect it. Come on, if they can nukr the island they can do freaking ANYTHING.
What do you think they'll do in the final season???
Every morning, one of the first things on my list is catching up on my friend Jarett's blog. Well this morning I got the best news via PopWrap -- guess what's coming out on DVD ya'll???
X-MEN THE ANIMATED SERIES!!!
The 8 year old inside of me did a backflip, I swear to god!
Growing up I would RUSH home from school to watch this series. It was my pre-pubescent porn! I swear to you -- sometimes I think that Colossus and Wolverine made me gay.
I've gone back and watched a few of those online, and it's true: the animation is not that great and the dialogue is laughable. But ask that Kid who lives inside of me if he cares...
Not even a little! I'm going to amazon to place my order. Right. Now.
Last night I got quite the surprise... I was over with the boys watching the American Idol results show, eating french onion soup and crudite, when BAM! There she is! Right there amongst hundreds of screaming fans, holding a sign reading "I (heart) Matt"... was the one and only -- Miss Lorissa! :)
Your poor taste in Idol contestants not withstanding... So good to see you in my TV!
So, I know that it calls out a bunch of stereotypes that I don't think many a homosexual would appreciate, but when taken with the proverbial grain of salt? This is pretty fucking hysterical.
I AM: Young, SINGLE, 5 ft 7 inches, and have blue eyes.I AM: loyal, opinionated, well-spoken, and very into my family and friends.I AM NOT: mean or boring.I LOVE: theater, Margaritas, old movies, good food, and new adventures.I HATE: bugs, liars, and waiting in line.
Her son is Ty, and he has a crush on an alien.
The cheekbones... The big doe-eyes...
