Katy Perry, Gaga and more!

I know everyone was excited to hear that the "legendary" Katy Perry has tied Michael Jackson's record of five number one hits off of one album.  We can only hope she releases a sixth single, and remixes it with Rihanna at the last minute to sell a few more thousand copies to push it to the number one spot!  Now, now, I'm not shading the lovely Ms. Perry.  I find her rather amusing and hope she never changes.  But the trend of adding another singer or rapper last minute to sell a few more copies to push the song to the number one spot definitely shows that success on the Hot 100 nowadays is a lot different then they were during MJ's time.  Still, Katy should be honored to have her name next to Michael Jackson's in the record book.

Monsters were welcomed with some lovely cryptic tweets from Gaga on Tuesday, where she tweeted FUCK THURS DAY, which brought her total tweet count to 999.  Everyone was left wondering... is the music video coming early?  Are we just moments away from an early release of You and I?  A few hours later the video leaked and the Lady herself eventually tweeted a link to it.  So obviously everyone has been waiting on pins and needles waiting to hear my response.  And well, I liked it.  After my first watch I was left with the feeling that I had no idea what I just watched.  But that seems normal with a Gaga video.  All I knew was that I saw lots of pretty images and some amazing costumes.  But after watching it a few more times I grew to like it a lot more actually.  The dancing in the barn scene is cute, and I love love love the scenes with her in the cornfield, playing on the piano with Jo Calderone on top.  The cherry on top is when Gaga runs barefoot through the field, like a child that has just learned to run.  I will say it is my 2nd favorite video of the Born This Way era, only behind the Judas video.

Kelly Clarkson is back!  Well she will be by the end of the month.  Aww.  I missed her and I'm sure you did as well.  She tweeted earlier this week, "Finally! My new single is called “Mr. Know It All” and it’s coming to radio very soon. Also, my album, STRONGER, is officially coming out October 25th. Here’s a link to my new website that will give you all the info on the upcoming release dates, single artwork, and more! GET READY CAUSE I AM!"  Oh Kelly, I was born ready and cannot wait to hear your latest offering.

Lastly Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino was offered a large amount of money by Abercrombie & Fitch, asking him to STOP wearing their brand of clothing.  Seems like a win-win situation for the Situation eh?  I mean all his role has been lately is be the instigator to stir up drama and press, all the while getting paid for it.  And here he is, making headlines around different news junkets, for a story about him making money.  Way to go Mike!

Other Weekend Tidbits

First of all let me just say these words of wisdom:  You do your best thinking in the shower.  Got that?  Good.  Now remember it and use all the creativity that comes from your random shower thoughts.  Follow through, follow through, follow through!  You will thank yourself later.

Moving on... remember this girl?  Why yes, little Lizzie McGuire is going to be a mom!  Scary eh?  Yeah I bet you feel old now.

You and I best be ready this Thursday!  Why yes Gaga herself just tweeted another still from her latest music video which is set to premiere on MTV at 7:50 pm   Rumors are a rumbling that the Lady herself will make a big announcement following the video.  What could it be?  Tour announcement?  She's pregnant?  Engaged?  Hosting the VMAs?  She wants me in her next video?  Well it's obviously the last option.  I mean most of my friends are aware that Gags and I talk all the time.

Remember Michelle Branch?  Well looks like she is over her country phase and is back with a cute little song.  Welcome back girl, we missed you!

Do yourself a favor, and go see the Help.  Mindy Kaling tweeted: "Saw The Help with my mom on her birthday, we loved it. Cry central but whatta cast. Bryce was a phenomenal villain. Go see!"  That about sums it up... def bring yourself some tissues!  And the movie surpassed box office expectations!  Way to go movie, you tell all those doubters to EAT YOUR SHIT!  

Who Run the World? Beyonce! Or atleast New York...

The Queen Bey set New York abuzz last night as she delighted fans with songs from her latest album, 4.  Sadly Beyonce opted to not wait 'til my fabulousness was in town... rude, but I was able to watch many of the performances on Youtube.  It is safe to say that she was ON FIRE.  Just look at her face as she reacts to the thousands of fans doing the Countdown for her.

Sadly all of the videos, except for I Care were removed, thankfully I Care is amazing enough that it will help you visualize the others.  Also I found one that just has the opening for Countdown, which is what I was talking about already anyway.  If new ones get posted I will replace them.  For now just close your eyes and imagine you are watching them.

Come on Beyonce, make this a single already!  Me and my Boof, and my Boof-Boof are waiting.  Maybe even waiting in my boo-Coupe ridin'. 

Beyonce did some of her old hits then started doing songs from 4 from beginning to end.  I am a bit peeved at B for omitting one song, Start Over, as that is my current obsession. But watching this clip of I Care makes up for it... a little bit.  I mean the Middle-8 guitar part with Beyonce singing along ?  Well Beyonce, you don't have to worry, we all CARE, you were amazing.

Skip to 2:10 to watch the epicness yourself.  

Of course the other performances were amazing, but Youtube seems to be on a mission to not let viewers witness the amazingness, and they keep removing them.  When they come available again I will add them.

The beautiful I Was Here

End of Time.  More then likely will be a single, eh?

You got the swag sauce, you be drippin' Swaggu.  No one can Party like Beyonce, Kanye, and Andre 3000.

It's the best time of the year. The sweaty high 80s cool down to the breezy 60s. For a few weeks at least before Michigan starts crapping on us with the below freezing winter that lasts far too long. One has an excuse to marathon crappy scary movies like Sorority Row and watch Audrina's breast implants get impaled with a tire iron. Pumpkins, witches and ghosts haunt the neighborhood. Costume parties! As we all have learned from Mean Girls, "Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."




And yes I will be rockin' some black leggings come Halloweekend. But the best thing about this time of year? It's Christmas-time for us TV addicts.

Anyways as one can see I'm not the best at keeping up with this blog, and I think I even stated I would change my mind on what I do and when. There's no rules for how I run this thing. So at the moment I am going to use this to keep my thoughts on current things I've watched.

If you haven't been keeping up with these shows then skip them...


Alright let's start with 90210. A show that for some reason I still make the effort to catch every week. I know how badly written the show is and I don't care. In my opinion it is the ONLY watchable teen soapy drama on at the moment. Which is a sad thing I might add. Gossip Girl hasn't been able to repeat it's season one masterpiece. If you watch that show now it's the same thing over and over. Chuck and Blair hate each other, hurt each other, love each other, Serena dresses slutty, Vanessa's judgmental and a bore, Dawn, I mean Georgina randomly appears to spread havoc for an episode or two and swiftly leaves, etc. Just no.



Back to 90210. Let me keep you up to date. So at the end of season 1 it is assumed that innocent Annie is a skank and a half. Drinks are thrown at her as we viewers laugh and enjoy the schadenfreude. Annie is all OMG, but i'm the innocent princess, I hate you all! She grabs herself a bottle, which is the first smart decision she made all season. But then she decides to drive. Not so smart. And well quite simply she runs over a body. Or so we think. Dun dun dun. Moving on, season 2 awesomely cuts out most of Annie's screen time and makes us wonder if she really killed someone. There's a creepy stalker boyfriend involved as well but it ended up being not so important. Well the finale comes, and guess what? Why yes. Annie did kill someone. But you know what? She is sorry. So it's all good. Don't worry Annie. While Annie is getting away with murder poor Naomi is getting sexually assaulted by a teacher.

Season 3 is now 4 episodes in and has a bout a million stories going on at once. And it wouldn't be 90210 if most of them weren't fucking insane. Like why the hell is this creepy 30 something lady obsessed with Annie and wants her eggs? Seriously? Is this a normal high school storyline? In other news Teddy has a case of the gay, Adrianna is being black mailed for stealing her dead exe's song, the Wilsons are poor, Dixon might have AIDs, Liam has a random half brother interested in Annie, and again Naomi was fucking raped! Keeping up with all that?



Alright since that was my only Monday night show I will end it there. Starting next week I will try my best to post my thoughts on each new episode as they air. Look forward to hearing about America's Next Top Model on Weds! And well Thurs... that might take a while. Heh. Shows that I watch on my own time since I don't have Starz (IE Dexter and Weeds) will go up when i feel like it.

Here is a list of my tv week, since i know you care so much.

Sunday: Dexter
Monday: 90210, Weeds
Wednesday: ANTM
Thursday: Vampire Diaries, 30 Rock, The Office, Project Runway, Jersey Shore, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Oh and let's add that I recently got into the Wire and just got season 2 today from the library. Exciting!

Stay tuned.

Okay, I got the obligatory "this is a new blog blah blah" entry out of the way. That's easy. Now what?

Well I think I should write about my latest addiction. Is it my reacquainting with Luke and Noah? Actually should I say Luke and Reid? Reid Reid Reid Reid. AHHH the anti-Noah. Reid the lovable jackass. The guy that brought me back after the ridiculousness of Noah turning blind and getting adopted by Luke's parents.


Nah. I am certain I will write about my sad obsession with these soap guilty pleasures soon.

But no. It would have to be Netflix, the site where I spend hours and hours of my life. Has there been anything as amazing? With Netflix you can have movies sent to your house (and forget you have it, and put off returning it for three months... yeah i really ought to return Slumdog Millionaire), but even better you can instantly watch a wide collection of television shows and movies. Sure many sites make it legally and illegally possible to watch almost anything your little heart would desire. But Netflix is different. It KNOWS you. I mean, when it says at the top of my screen, "Here is a movie we think you would love," and it gives me Clueless... oh Netflix, you know how to pull my heart strings.




What you do is you rate movies or television shows you like. The more you rate the better chance it has of finding you your future obsessions, or old favorites. The fact that it has season after season of shows on it is very dangerous for a TV aficionado like me. I mean it has ALL SEVEN seasons of Buffy. Sure I have them all on DVD, but that's not the point.

If it wasn't for Netflix I wouldn't have so many things to blog about. I wouldn't have been able to talk about that horribly awful, yet amazing German gay movie i just watched, that was basically a long drawn out porno with a better storyline. Or I wouldn't have given Arrested Development another chance. Which resulted in my Portia love... and hours of me looking her up, reading old interviews, going awww at her declaring her love of Ellen, and just staring at her gorgeousness, thus prompting me to watch the fabulous show Better off Ted.

Basically Netflix is what keeps me up at night. Who needs sleep when you can watch the exciting adventures of Pingu for hours on end?


Can you honestly say you would not want to watch this little guy and his crazy misadventures? Well with Netflix you can.

A blog? Me? Noooooo.



Why am I writing a blog? I'm not entirely sure. It has been on my mind for a while. I mean, I miss expressing myself online. I used to write a riveting livejournal detailing my fabulous life in high school and college. Oh you never read it? Well... if emo posts, and rants, unrequited love, and the occasional surveys are your thing... well then I'm sorry, for you missed out.

It seems like I graduated college and stopped writing. Not just essays and other schoolwork, but the whole process. Okay, well I do fill up my time writing on people's walls on facebook, and that obviously takes skill. But still, I don't write how I used to, and it doesn't seem healthy. Sometimes I miss having writing assignments. As much of a pain they could be, they got me to analyze things and see what was going on in my head. Or in most cases I got to see how awesomely I could bullshit.

Last year I had an awesome summer filled with drinking, laying out in the sun, and pretty much doing nothing. My sole job was to get a tan. It was fabulous. Since I had no time I kept telling people I would do this and that. And well one of my great ideas I had was to write a television show. Ha! I am king of making up awesome goals that I have some small glimmer of hope that I'll accomplish, such as learn the whole Nsync Bye, Bye, Bye dance. But I should realize by now that these are all just dreams. I'm not going to ever get that dance down pat, or write a script for a television show. Well at least not anytime soon. But I do hold out hope on learning some Lady Gaga dances... maybe with some YouTube help.



If I only I could have the patience... sigh.

Anyway, to cut to the chase... I decided a blog would be a good idea. (Though it will never be as good as this one and wow I just noticed she updated today... haha small world.) A place where I can write about what I love. And what do I love? TV! and well movies and music and food and sleep and alcohol... but I think TV comes first... barely. So I think it could be fun to write about my current addictions, or maybe old addictions or anything that comes to my mind. And of course if I want to write about something else, well so be it. Oh and yeah I have a thing about ignoring many grammar rules and using a lot of ellipses... sorry.
