I was in Spanish class today and our TA mentioned Quia, our evil online
workbook. Ali Kimmel was sitting next to me and she muttered
something under her breath about how Quia is evil. I thought in
my head "Join the club"...but the thought came out (even in my head) as
"Join the facebook group"...because there is one. I didn't say
this out loud for fear of being embarassed that the internet is my
life. This was also after I misunderstood her spanish, "He dicho
con Nicholas Cage" sounds a lot like "He ducho con Nicholas
Cage." The difference? The first means "I have talked to
Nicholas Cage" while the latter is "I have showered with Nicholas Cage."
I realized last night that I like making mix CDs for people. I
made Janine two CDs that combine both irony and awesomeness. It
was sweet.

* The apocalypse is coming...right? No, it's already here.
Trailer for Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.
*
Project Runway
will be returning for a second season...I think this calls for Project
Runway parties and trips to the mall to dress up other people and judge
one another's fashion sense.
* So it's not Black Cat. The Spider Man 3 villain will be played by
Thomas Haden Church. He is a man. I would, however, be entertained if he dressed up in drag.
* Friendster
the movie!
This has got to be the best thing ever, and the first thing I've heard
about friendster since last year. Unfortunately, this movie won't
succeed in providing me with internet stalkers. Also, don't the
makers of this movie realize that MySpace is the new Friendster? (I know facebook would mutilate myspace in hand-to-hand combat...but not everyone is a college kid.)
* First Blink182 and now
N*E*R*D...why
can't bands just stay together these days? Didn't The Unicorns
break up too? Well, the difference between Blink182 and N*E*R*D
is that I actually liked the latter a lot. Sure, the lyrics were
terrible...but the songs just had a very positive feel about them
usually...
* Um...
Mischa Barton's ass anyone? Why do people feel compelled to take such photographs? I really don't even think Mischa is that hot.
* The
face of Satan has been found. You just have to look really hard though...
* Mel C keeps her goodies in the jar, but she doesn't think Britney does. Isn't this
old news? Is Mel C just realizing this? Also, unfortunately, the Spice Girls won't be getting back together ever again.
* Liquid Generation, makers of that damn "Hey Allah" cartoon from last year
make fun of American Idol. Most of this is tasteless. But the Paula Abdul and Ashlee Simpson moments are hilarious. Verdict: This could have been funnier.
* Relieving news...Wonder Woman probably won't be Kim Bassinger
or Jessica Alba. Joss Whedon is contemplating casting Kaylee Frye
of Firefly and Serenity.
Unfortunately, there won't be star-spangled panties. Also,
this letter
is unnecessary. Like some guy said, "Joss has too things on his
resume...Wonder and Women". I'm convinced he can't go wrong.
* JESUS, all this damn super-hero movie news because that seems
to be all that Hollywood is making these days. The Flash is
getting the big screen treatment soon...
*
50 Cent is a role-model...Yeah, and I'm the poster-child for heterosexuality.
* There's
too much Duff
in my life. Thanks to the phrase "If you can't do the math, then
get out of the equation" from Hilary's delightful first album, I can
tolerate her...but Haylie needs to sit down and stop pretending she's
famous.
* I'm not going to lie, I love Dashboard Confessional.
I used to be okay with it, but now I kind of feel like I have to keep
it a secret. Chris Carabba scrapped his piano-driven album and
re-did it. I think I'm glad, but I sort of hope the piano stuff leaks out onto the internet.
* As if her shitty return to the music scene wasn't enough, Mariah might be doing
another movie. As long as she doesn't release a bad album with the same title, this shouldn't be as disasterous.
* Much to Justin's disappointment, the rumors that Ciara is a man
aren't true. She was never on Oprah either. (J. Lo was
though. That's just her. Nothing's phoney...don't hate on
her. What you get is what you see.) See
snopes for more details. HOWEVER, she is a rapper. Ciara will be
rapping on the proposed first single on Missy's next album.
* Britney = Mona Lisa...by
the song from the next album is like "Lucky" all over again. If
you'd like to hear the radio stream I have, I can send it to you.
I mean, the only difference from Lucky is that it's not even
entertaining in the ironic way. Janet Jackson = Damita Jo, Mariah
Carey = Mimi, Madonna = Esther, Andre 3000 = Johnny Vulture
Celebrities love their alter egoes.
You'll also notice that the video for "Do Somethin" (one of my
guiltiest pleasures of life...I sing along and pretend I'm Britney in
the mirror) was co-directed by "Mona Lisa".
* The new Black Eyed Peas song from their forth-coming album Monkey Business is called
"Don't Funk with My Heart".
I sense disaster for the Peas. But for some reason, I feel like I
might be wrong. They managed to make a song called "Let's Get
Retarded" a hit. They have amazing powers I know not of.
* Kylie Minogue is incredibly old...and still incredibly
hot. She kicked off a Showgirls tour in Australia and
Europe. There are boys showering on stage. And by boys, I mean
ridiculously muscular men in their underwear.
Pink is the New Blog has some photos if you scroll down a little.
* These boots are made for walking...
in French.
