I hope Brad Pitt's kids don't see this!

SO. FRIGGING. COOL!

Head over to the New York Times Magazine page HERE for a great set of creepy video shorts. The collection is called Touch of Evil. Some of them consist of a but more than a touch.

My favorites are Brad Pitt and Viola Davis, but Ms. Dunst was a creeper too.

"Like" the Sox! Beat LA!

It's been a while. I couldn't think of a better post to get me back into my blog.

REALLY? The LAKERS are the most liked sports franchise on Facebook?

I have to say, I've seen many more Red Sox hats (both here AND in Europe) than I have lakers, well... anything.

If you haven't liked the Sox on Facebook - and if you're a fan - you should click HERE and "like" them.

BEAT LA!

Yes, Katy Perry!

2011-07-15T01:57:00.003-04:00

I'm on a music video kick... sorry.

I've just now jumped on the Katy Perry bandwagon. I think it was the Glee version of "Firework" that got me.

I think it's safe to say that Katy's video for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is one of the BEST videos to come out in the pop music world so far this year (Britney - take a cue.)

It's funny, it GOES WITH THE SONG, it's got some fantastic cameos in it... and Katy isn't afraid to be a compete idiot/dress crazy/have fun with it.

Enjoy.

Ke-dollar sign-ha...

2011-07-15T01:50:00.003-04:00

So, I'm still not a huge Ke$ha fan. I just can't get into her glitter gun, I haven't showered, I'm original (yet copy a little bit of everyone) style and most of her music gives me awkward shivers.

However...

I can't stop listening to this song lately, and it's killing me.

Perhaps it's because there's a massive amount of James Van Der Beek in the video. Which could make anything better (HINT: Britney - if he had been in your "I Want to Go" video it would have been a LOT better.)

Here's Ke$ha's slightly awesome (a 6 out of 10) video for her song "Blow."

Honda Civic Commercials

2011-07-15T00:59:00.002-04:00

Going to the hipsters?

I'm kind of in love with the Honda Civic ads that have been popping up online and on TV.

Check this one out... they've definitely ripped off Where the Wild Things Are to try to grab the attention of environmentally conscious 80's babies and new fans of the book/recent film:

And this one is pretty cute... I'm jealous of the beard. It's called, "Date with a Woodsman." Haha. Love.

If I were in the market for a car - which I'm not, because NYC has a beautiful (albeit somewhat expensive) subway system - these ads would definitely get me to try out a Civic.

Great job Honda marketing team.

2011-04-21T14:42:00.002-04:00

I think this might be my next DVD purchase! How did I not know that this existed?!

My favorite musical Anything Goes was immortalized on film by Frank Sinatra and Ethel Merman and I had no idea. Terrible.

This video is amazing. I think I was born in the wrong decade.

The show has been through MANY incarnations as it was one of the first American Musicals as we know them today. Sutton Foster and Joel Grey currently star in the most recent Broadway revival which opened a few weeks ago.

I'll be seeing that VERY soon I hope.

Enjoy the preview starring Frank and Ethel below. (PS - a match made in musical heaven, but an odd pairing based on looks... no?)

I love this. I wish they could be a couple, haha. Can you imagine?!

I can't wait to see her live on the 18th!!

There is no reason for this. Maybe in a movie, but... really. Why?

Introducing light up cereal boxes. They react to an electrified coil in the shelf, so they wouldn't be doing this at home, but they're going to do everything they can to attract you in the store.

THIS IS A WASTE OF OUR RESOURCES AND ENERGY! No?

Haha.

2011-01-27T14:45:00.003-05:00

Apparently there's been drama surrounding this ad. Doritos had a contest for fans to create their Super Bowl ad... this was one of the submissions and it's hysterical. I can see why they wouldn't air it during a family television event (it's a bit suggestive - gay or not).

It's still funny though.

AHH! I'm beyond excited to have Conan back on my TV this fall.

Here's a little glimpse/teaser for his new show coming up on TBS. It's so old school! I love it.

Also, here are a few videos to remind you of how GREAT he is.

Thank you, sir.

2010-08-11T21:52:00.005-04:00

I really wish this man had stood up and said these things years ago. It was touching to hear him speak in such PLAIN and SIMPLE terms about our basic rights as human beings in AMERICA. People seem to forget what the Constitution actually says and stands for.

I want to give this man a hug and say thank you.

I also want to congratulate him for taming a Fox News correspondent. He had is tail between his legs at the end of this one!

ALBUM REVIEW

2010-07-27T17:17:00.008-04:00

ROBYN
Body Talk Pt. 1

Yes! Another Robyn album to get lost to! I don't think I keep it much of a secret, I love this girl. I can remember wailing away to "Show Me Love" back in the 90's in the back of my mom's minivan with my brother and sister.

If you remember liking her then, you'll like her even more now.

Robyn's taken an great route with a mix of powerful lyrics, dance beats, alternative rock roughness and her cute little accent.

Body Talk Pt.1 is her newest album (which is ALMOST as good as her 2008 release: Robyn) to hit the shelves (a phrase that sadly doesn't really mean much anymore). It's like a fun punch in the face. I find it completely fresh and entertaining from beginning to end. From "Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do" to her little Swede ballad "Jeg vet en dejlig rosa" it's a sickly sweet alternative pop rock dance trip. And yes, it's possible to be all those things, and hers is smartly so.

Her first single "Dancing On My Own" is doing fairly well it seems. Playing in clubs, bars and every so often on the radio here in NY. It's a great emotional shove and caters to those of us who, sadly know the feeling of being aggravated and alone near the one we love. Bam. I love it.

I think her next single should be, if it hasn't already been announced - I'm a little behind on things having just received my new computer - should be "Cry When You Get Older". I think it's got a good radio friendly beat and chorus to it. It also has a great backbone and could be remixed a million ways, always a plus nowadays with people only buying one track off an album on iTunes or Amazon.

If you like Body Talk Pt.1, be excited... because it's part of a 5 part series. This is just the first installment of a Robyn take over which, I'm sure will dominate our ears and lives for the next year or so. I don't mind. Not one bit. Her first single off of Pt.2 is apparently "Hang With Me," which appears on Pt.1 in acoustic form. It's great. The actual singles already leaked online.

Another reason to be excited? She's touring the Kelis. Kelis has recently released a new album which goes back to her alt. roots... you should forgive her for "Milkshake" and give her a new look. I guarantee you've already heard one of her new songs and I'll bet you like it.
Either way, the two of them together should be something else. Sadly all of their New York shows have sold out, but if you'd like to join me in the Craigslist quest for tickets, that's where I'll be the day of the show.

Watch and enjoy... (please note that she's singing live, and it sounds awesome... unlike most current popular musicians)

Finally back in the real world!

2010-07-27T17:17:00.001-04:00

Hey y'all.

I've finally been brought back to the real world and have a computer sitting on my lap once again.

So! Back to work. Here we go.

Touching.

I'm glad her dad came back safe and sound.

WORK WORK WORK!

Everyone's releasing great videos lately (except Xtina)!

Beyonce is FULL OUT in this new video.

Screw dance trios, this is where it's at. Haha.

All kidding aside, this song is pretty sick and the video is super cute.

She looks hot as a 50's pinup girl/housewife/tramp.

Work!

Oh, she's just being Miley...

Miley Cyrus is channeling some Britney "Stronger" and "Slave For You" and possibly some Michael Jackson "Thriller" and some Lady Gaga "Just Dance".

I'm loving this new video! The director did a good job of getting good angles and making her look like a the woman she is NOT. Remember, she's still a teenager! She's working it though!

I'm not a HUGE fan of the song, she's got better. The video is awesome though.

Talent.

NH State of Mind

2010-04-09T01:25:00.002-04:00

This is pretty funny. Some local 603-ers rewrote New York State of Mind (which is TOTALLY overplayed here in NY... I'd MUCH rather hear this one) and put it to a pretty funny video featuring video clips and photos of some familiar places in the Granite State.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday!

Ok, so some genius had a lot of time on their hands and they put this amazing little web page together!

They figured out what the frequency of each planet would sound like based on its distance from the sun and the speed and distance each planet travels.

Alice in Wonderland

2010-03-05T03:07:00.002-05:00

Here is the first EVER movie of Alice in Wonderland.

It was filmed in 1903 and was recently restored.

It's obviously in very bad condition, but it's still really neat!

A treat for your ears.

McQueen

2010-02-11T22:49:00.005-05:00

Lee Alexander McQueen was a British designer and a force in the fashion industry. He's won countless awards, clothed everyone from Target shoppers to Celebrities to the First Lady of the United States.

It was announced earlier today that he took his own life by hanging himself, only days after his mothers passing.

His passing comes just days before London and New York fashion weeks were to begin.

Sad, sad, sad.

Suicide is not a way out. If you're going through a tough time and need someone to talk to know you're never alone.
Speak out.

Get help.

Here's just a sampling, via YouTube of just the tip of the iceberg that is his amazing talent and the permanent mark he has left on the fashion world.

Lady Gaga debuted her new single at his last show for Spring Summer 2010.

Look at the shoes!

People must be eating a lot of snickers lately... I don't know how else they could afford this commercial!

This commercial is amazing. Hands down.

In fact... it's so amazing I'm going to buy one tomorrow. It wasn't my favorite candy bar before, but it just might be now.

Ok, not really, but after the Betty White ads, and now this? It's pretty damn close.

If you're reading this on facebook click here to be taken to the actual blog for videos, music, and more.

I want these shoes!

2010-02-10T17:07:00.002-05:00

Does anyone know where I can find these shoes? I need them in a 12 or 13. haha.

They're designed by a famous artist named Para. The Vans website reads:

"The artist known as Parra delivers his unique illustration stylings all the way from his native Holland, to hit up some exclusive Vans kicks like these Parra Eras. Known for his cutting edge design elements and forward-thinking use of color, Parra's skills are some of the most sought after in the world, and pair up nicely with our classic low top lace-up skate shoe."

I can't find them in my size ANYWHERE! haha

I've been hunting for months.

How awesome are they!

GaGa and Cyndi tell it like it is.

2010-02-10T16:50:00.004-05:00

This is a pretty awesome interview with GaGa and Cyndi Lauper on Good Morning America.

They're there to talk about the Viva Glam campaign with Mac Makeup that they're working with. Cyndi's been at it forever, but GaGa is just getting started with them.

It's a pretty good interview.

And I have to say... it is SO NICE to see artists really working for a cause. GaGa's only been around for two years or so and she's already working it out like someone who's been in the business for years. She knows she's got attention and instead of hawking some stupid shit she's talking about women and AIDS.

I love her.

And because she didn't hawk, I'll do it for her.

GaGa is selling t-shirts on her website for Haiti relief. Check those out here.

She's also selling some sick headphones with Beats called Heart Beats... they'd be a pretty special gift for a loved one on Valentines Day. Here they are. They come in a few different colors and actually consist of state of the art sound technology. They're comparable to Bose.

She's also got tickets to another leg of her US tour going on sale soon.

And don't forget to pick up the deluxe edition of The Fame called The Fame Monster. It has all 8 of her new songs on it plus the original The Fame album.

She was also cool enough to release The Fame Monster as its own CD just in case you already owned The Fame (other artists DON'T do this, they want you to have to re-buy everything, GaGa gets that all her fans have to work for their money) at $7.99. It's 8 tracks long and contains a little art photo booklet.

And I can't even begin to speak of all the amazing things Lauper is up to. Check out her official website CyndiLauper.com to see all the great stuff she's up to with Mac, True Colors, and more.

I don't know about this.

The Chinese State Circus appears in this YouTube video doing their rendition of Swan Lake.

It's THE singular most amazing dance I've ever seen in my life.

It also looks a lot like a trick on the eyes.

Do you think she's on a string? Or is that really possible?

You've got to watch the whole thing to see how amazing these two dancers are... or how well they hide the fly system.

Ugh... sing to me forever.

2010-01-29T23:58:00.002-05:00

I'm pretty sure I've written about this girl before...

BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH!

This young lady can SING! And is CUTE as a button! Someone should cast this girl in Wicked if she's not up to anything.

Her voice is so crisp and refreshing... and amazing.

Listen up... she's probably going to be on your iPod someday.

In slightly strange news...

Although I was on a blogging hiatus over the last few months I was constantly talking about the drama between Conan O'Brien and his employer of nearly 20 years NBC.

The television station totally screwed one of their best assets and let him go! Conan was smart though, and it cost the peacock dearly. He's reportedly walking away with over $30 MILLION and his staff is splitting something around $15 million. He's also said he would share some of his $30m with staff.

Conan was the new host of the historic Tonight Show for only SEVEN MONTHS! His contract was for three years, but never specified when the show would air... so when NBC canceled The Jay Leno Show (the former host of Tonight) they were planning on pushing the Tonight Show to tomorrow... at 12:05am and giving Jay a half hour show starting at 11:35, the time slot the Tonight Show has had for 60+ years.
Conan being the awesome guy that he is said he didn't want to ruin tradition and didn't want to be the guy that messed with the show, so he said he wouldn't move to 12:05 and NBC said their goodbyes.

LAME.

So...

Now that things are officially over with Conan and NBC (the Tonight Show with Conan is still airing until March first, but only in re-runs. Jay takes the show back on March 1st - I won't be watching) everyone thought they'd be going their separate ways.

WRONG!

In an awkward move NBC has picked up pilot by Conan's production company Conaco. It's a legal show bla, bla bla...

How awkward is that!? Looks like Conan's going to be hanging out with NBC in a different light for a bit longer.

I just hope that this doesn't mess up his options of going to another network with his talk show skills!!

That's my guy!

2010-01-27T12:39:00.004-05:00

Yay!

In random Hollywood news, my favorite actor Tom Hanks was rated the #2 most reliable and trusted celebrity in the US!

James Earl Jones was number one, which is fine by me. He's a bit more seasoned, like an awesome grandfather. Tom will get there.

Others that made the list?

Here you go: Michael J. Fox, Will Smith, Bill Cosby, Denzel Washington, and the only girl Sally Field.

I agree with the whole list... except for Ron Howard.

Ron Howard has done some great work, I'll give him that... but he RUINED the Dan Brown films. They could have been so much better. The only good thing about them is Tommy boy. I wonder if it's because of him that Ron's on this list.

I kid, I kid... sorta.

First post from the future... talking about the past.

2010-01-27T03:46:00.005-05:00

With all the talk about recent box office records being broken by the James Cameron hit Avatar, people have been keen to find out just where the movie actually stands in the history of the genre.

While the movie is poised to become the number one grossing movie of all time this week, beating out James Cameron's other massive hit Titanic (how cool must that be, to have that kind of credit?!) it lacks in something a bit more impressive... actual ticket sales!

Regardless of how much money the film makes, what any artist (director, actor, etc) really wants is his message/product to be experienced and understood by as many people as possible.

So, who exactly comes out on top of actual TICKET sales?

Well, The Hollywood Reporter's website THRFeed.com (which used to be a real magazine, you know... the kind made with paper but is now defunct - I believe) has compiled the actual list of the 20 films with the highest number of ticket sales. Avatar didn't make the list... however it impressively and comfortably sits at number 26.
The only thing these movies have over Avatar is time... I have no doubt it will climb a few notches up over the next few weeks, especially if they re-release the film like they did with Titanic.

So, here they are, I know you're dying to know!

Here's the Top 20 movies of all time ... by number of TICKETS sold:

1 "Gone With the Wind" (1939) 202,044,600
2 "Star Wars" (1977) 178,119,600
3 "The Sound of Music" (1965) 142,415,400
4 "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial" (1982) 141,854,300
5 "The Ten Commandments" (1956) 131,000,000
6 "Titanic" (1997) 128,345,900
7 "Jaws" (1975) 128,078,800
8 "Doctor Zhivago" (1965) 124,135,500
9 "The Exorcist" (1973) 110,568,700
10 "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) 109,000,000
11 "101 Dalmatians" (1961) 99,917,300
12 "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) 98,180,600
13 "Ben-Hur" (1959) 98,000,000
14 "Return of the Jedi" (1983) 94,059,400
15 "The Sting" (1973) 89,142,900
16 "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981) 88,141,900
17 "Jurassic Park" (1993) 86,205,800
18 "The Graduate" (1967) 85,571,400
19 "Star Wars: Episode I" (1999) 84,825,800
20 "Fantasia" (1941) 83,043,500

Where are all the old classic movie musicals? Hello Dolly? Guys and Dolls? Surprising.

Too damn cute.

3900 Saturdays

2009-12-08T21:30:00.006-05:00

My mom sent me a chain e-mail this past week.

Usually they're about something spiritual or about saving money...

This one was different, and it got me thinking.

I spend 40+ hours a week working a kind of crappy job, I don't get paid nearly enough for the stress or the amount of work I put in, and I'm always having trouble paying bills, etc. Needless to say I've been wishing away my work days to get to my days off, however I never realized just how important those days are... because they important because we don't get many of them...

Read below.

'3900 Saturdays'

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.

A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the garage with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time. Let me tell you about it:

I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind, he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whom-ever he was talking with something about 'a thousand marbles..' I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say....

' Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. It's too bad you missed your daughter's 'dance recital' he continued. 'Let me tell you something that has helped me keep my own priorities.' And that's when he began to explain his theory of a 'thousand marbles.

'You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.

'Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now, stick with me, Tom, I'm getting to the important part.

It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail', he went on, 'and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays.' 'I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round up 1000 marbles I took them home and put them inside a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear.'

'Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away. I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life.

There's nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight .'

'Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure that if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time.'

'It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band. This is a 75 Year old Man, K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!'

You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter.

Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. 'C'mon honey, I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast.' 'What brought this on?' she asked with a smile. 'Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. And hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles.

Awesome. Why didn't I think of this?

GaGa is Brilliant.

2009-11-16T02:34:00.001-05:00

I love how she talks about Downtown Manhattan. I didn't think I could fall any more in love with it until I hear her talk about it how I've always seen it.

That might sound strange but it makes perfect sense to me.

Ugh...

2009-10-11T18:44:00.005-04:00

This is so amazing.

Lady Gaga took time out of her personal life to head down to DC during the Equality March to lend her support and perform for the thousands in attendance...

Instead of performing one of her own pieces (and attempting to sell albums at the worst time possible, like others might) she performed John Lennon's Imagine, and of course threw in her own verse or two and made it relevant to the event.

Needless to say it's pretty breathtaking.

I think John would approve (Yoko might sue, however...).

Enjoy.

Equality for all.

WORK WORK WORK!

This is so great. Gaga took time to recreate her hit song Poker Face for SNL this past weekend. She also personalized it for SNL and for NY and for her fans IN NY. So amazing. She actually sings!

Eat that Ashlee Simpson.

How cool is that sphere thing she's wearing at the top?!

Amazing.

She's also broken a few records on the Billboard charts this past month, as well as outselling most other artists this year with a debut album. She's also completed a world tour and still is on the tip of everyone's tongues! I really REALLY hope she's around for a long while.

I also hope that she doesn't have a Britney/Whitney like meltdown.

STAY AWESOME GAGA!!!

Enjoy.

PS: I love her new Hollywood glam look.

WORLD AIDS DAY!

2009-09-29T14:47:00.004-04:00

SO! World AIDS Day, December 1st, is fast approaching (I know right!?).

Sometime within the next 62 days I would like 100 of my friends to get tested.

Why do I want my friends and family to get tested?

In 2002 there were 5 MILLION people NEWLY infected with AIDS and an ADDITIONAL 3.1 MILLION people DIED of complications due to AIDS. 5 million is a HUGE number, and although the world is a big place you would be surprised to know how connected you could be to someone with the disease.

IF you don't believe me head on over to GMHC.org for the numbers.

In June of 2002 there were almost 80,000 known (100% known positive) people with AIDS in New York City ALONE! And those are only the cases they KNOW of. It's said that only about HALF the people who have AIDS in NY know it... which means that number was actually closer to 160,000 in New York alone.

SCARY SCARY SCARY! Those poor people!

But this is all the more reason to protect yourself when having sex... only half the people in this city who have AIDS know it!

GET TESTED!

In Maine in 2004 (AIDSaction.org) there were almost 1,400 people living with AIDS. In YORK COUNTY there were 155 people living with AIDS. Those are the reported cases remember... so the actual number could be around 300... in York County alone!

AIDS IS EVERYWHERE and can touch ANYONES lives. Please! Test yourself. Be open, be honest, get tested, and get help or help others.

Want to get tested in Maine? Look for FREE clinic hours here, here, here, or just Google it yourself.

REMEMBER... 100 friends and family members by December 1st!!!!

Let me know if you get tested! I don't need to know the results, just let me know if you did it!

Awkward.

2009-09-29T13:51:00.003-04:00

So I can't tell you how much I hate the new Shakira song She Wolf. It's awful. The sound mixing is horrific and the lyrics are HORRIBLE. I will admit, it's catchy... but it's really bad. And the video... this has to be one of the worst videos ever made. The dancing is so incredibly awkward!!

When I saw this copy cat music video I thought maybe this might have been a bit more awkward than the actual video, but then someone cleverly placed the two videos side by side and I realized, it's just as awkward, if not less so.

It's just bad.

But this is funny.

It didn't take Jay Leno more than two minutes to get to the point.

Kanye's been floating on a cloud of ego gas for a while now, and Jay knew just how to bring him down.

So... MTV VMA's

2009-09-14T00:50:00.003-04:00

I was supposed to go to the MTV VMA's tonight, but due to shitty planning and a lack of communication between MTV and the event planners I was, with ticket mind you, turned away after waiting in a line for four hours.

SHIT-TAY!!

So, my friend and I snuck around and finally made our way into a restricted area where we were face to face and spoke with Taylor Swift and stood right by Jay-Z for his arrival.

It kind of made up for the fact that we didn't get to go inside.

Some of the people outside however WERE inside at one point and gave us the low down on Kan-yasshole's stage explosion.

I guess she was accepting her award for best POP video and he jumped up MID-SPEECH and stole the mic proclaiming Beyonce's video was the best of the year. He then handed the mic back to the 19 year old Taylor and left. Taylor being in shock gave a dancer the mic and walked off the stage RIGHT after MTV went to commercial.

Taylor then maybe three minutes later had to perform.

I had the pleasure of running into her after she jammed out on 6th Avenue (when she was done the audience - which ran 300 people thick all up and down every corner of the intersection - a few thousand people started chanting her name) and saw that her eyes were all red and she was a bit teary eyed. I had no idea then that Kanye was the reason.

But leave it to a true professional to save the day.

Later in the evening Beyonce won for best video and told the audience how excited she was to win when she was in Destiny's Child as a teen, and then she called out Taylor and let her finish her acceptance speech.

Beyonce - you are an amazing woman.

Taylor - I'm buying your album this week only to up your numbers and show Kanye how little he truly is.

Kanye - you were one of my favorite artists. I now have a strong unfavorable taste in my mouth for you. Lame lame lame.

Here's a video of Kanye being an a-hole, followed by one of Beyonce being awesome, followed by a funny Obama mash-up.

In fear of the posting getting deleted, here it is in all it's glory:

I fled your apartment wearing only a bathrobe - m4m - 23 (Midtown West)

Date: 2009-09-05, 1:26PM EDT

We met at Vlada Bar last night, after which you took me back to your apartment in what I think is Washington Heights. Anyway, for some reason I decided to run out of your apartment wearing only a bath robe that I found. I then walked across the GW bridge, and was stopped by a police officer on the NJ side. He drove me back to Manhattan in his cruiser, and I proceeded to sleep in a park on the ground for a while. Finally I found a cab willing to take me to a friend's place. That same friend took me back to your place this morning, but I could not remember which apartment was yours. My wallet, phone, and all of my clothes are still inside your place, so please check my phone for a bunch of missed calls and then call that number. I very much need my things back, especially my drivers license as I will not be able to board my flight home to California without it and will be stranded in New York forever. I had a great time though! Please call me. Thanks!

Ok, guys... believe it or not, it is a true fact that Britney Spears used to win singing competitions. That's how she got on Star Search as a tyke. In recent years however, she's pretty much mouthed everything like a puppet.

Not the case this week in North Carolina!

Check out Britney singing "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morisette! COMPLETELY LIVE! The whole song! Amazing!!

BOOED!?

Madonna was booed at a concert in Russia because she said everyone should be treated as equals referring to the Gypsy population being discriminated against in the region.

Why boo? Doesn't that make you look like an ass hole?!

Everyone should be treated as equals. Gay, Black, White, Straight, Scientologist, Catholic, Jew, Boy, Girl... Everyone.

Stop booing and fix the stupid world we live in.

Walkman, at 30, a mystery to teen
Alejandro Martinez-Cabrera

Wednesday, July 1, 2009
San Fran Chronicle

What better way to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Sony's iconic Walkman than to ask a teenager for some feedback on the device?

The BBC couldn't think of one, and neither can I.

I like to imagine that the experience was similar to an archaeologist rediscovering how a recently excavated artifact was employed thousands of years ago. But I'm well aware that it must have been different for 13-year-old Scott Campbell, who co-edits his own news Web site. For one, teenage impatience must have stood in the place where I fantasize scientific curiosity should have been.

"My dad had told me it was the iPod of its day," Campbell wrote. "He had told me it was big, but I hadn't realized he meant that big. It was the size of a small book."

Sure enough, people on the street noticed the antique clinging from his belt with amusement and friends on his school bus were quick to come up with some witty remark.

Campbell went on to criticize the portable cassette player's size, appearance, functionality and the "hissy backtrack and odd warbly noises."

Even when he discovered the cassette had more music on the other side (it took him three days), Campbell was still disappointed it could only hold a small fraction of what an iPod can.

"Did my dad ... really ever think this was a credible piece of technology?"

Ouch.

WOAH!

2009-07-02T00:38:00.000-04:00

This would scare the CRAP out of me!

I am in love.

I still remember most of the lyrics!

Listen and think back...

PS: why do people put videos like this on YouTube! I'm so embarrassed for this girl! It's worth a good laugh though.

Woah!

President Obama wants people to what?!

Paint their roofs white.

Apparently a study finds that the lighter the color, or using a "cool color" on roof tops and highways could significantly reduce the amount of thermal energy absorbed by the planet from the sun. This would in turn reduce the rising temperatures.

This isn't an end all to the global warming emergency the world faces, but it could possibly slow the effects down a bit until we can control ourselves and live a more sustainable life style.

In other words this is just another small thing that can be done until people start waking the hell up and realize the planet is in a 911 phase.
