Back-up Plan?? More like a rerun!

December 21, 2009

J Lo’s latest movie is like a combination of Object of My Affection and Baby Mama. Been there, done that. Will I watch it, sure. Will I pay for it? NOT! I do have a guilty pleasure of watching movies like this on weekends or when I’m bored. You can kinda watch them without really watching them. I can turn on the tube and then play the Sims 3 or do other work and still feel like I know whats going on. They aren’t that hard to follo: boy meets girl. something happens to stop the love. Boy and girl fix problem and live happily ever after. Or realize that they love each other despite the drama and live Happily Ever After …

What do you think?

HBO’s True Blood New Cast Member

December 18, 2009

So, in case you missed the memo, I am a HUGE ..  HUGE fan of True Blood. After season 1 I went & read ALLLLL the books by Charlaine Harris. They were so good! And they do NOT take away from the excitement of the HBO series because Alan Ball is excellent with changing it up. He does manage to introduce all the critical characters from the book, like Alcide who will be appearing in season 3. Now, I won’t spoil for those who don’t know, but Alcide needs to bring  major HOT factor. And Oh MY GOD they did it. I read on SpoilerTV who they cast, and they are RELIABLE and this guy is SMOKING HOT!

JOE MANGANIELLO!!!

I’ve never watched One Tree Hill or How I Met Your Mother, but I mght go back and watch to see him. He was also in spiderMan. Hopefully he kills it as Alcide because I reallllllyy liked Alcides character and the mental image I have of him needs to be brought to life. We’ll see..

More Pics..

I think WK is going to be pleased!

Now I’m definitely even MORE excited about the upcoming season. HBO is great in casting, you can’t deny it. I also read on SpoilerTV that the cast ALFRE WOODARD as Lafayette’s Mom. I think that will be the bomb! Can you see my excitement?

Fashion Friday 12.11.09: Melanie Fiona

December 11, 2009

This video is DOPE! I actually wasn’t expecting her to release Monday Morning as a single, but I am enjoying the video. LOVE IT!! My friend had been trying to convince me to listen to her for about a year now, and I kept putting it off, but I really do enjoy her. I hop you enjoy the video too (sans the script about her being in Switzerland) I mean, this girl has REAL talent!! If the media stopped stalking Rihanna’s fashion choices they’d be able to notice that. But hey, what do I know!

Fashion Friday: 12.11.09 Time’s Top 10 Fashion Faux Pas

In honor of Fashion Friday today’s Time Top 10 List is for Fashion Faux Pas in 2009. Some of them you can’t really be surprised, like the #1 was an Olsen twin. Her outfit looked like an acid trip.
My favorites from the list:

lady_gaga worst dressed time pink tightsI’m sure Lady Gaga will make several of these lists over the season because while her outfits are definitely amusing & eye catching, they are definitely on the off side. But um, she has the Dora the Explorer hair cut. OMG my girl crush because of her FAB body Amber Rose made the cut w/ Kanye from the VMAs. You know, where she wore a skin tight jumpsuit in nude snakeskin?

kanye_amber rose worst dressed VMA video music awards mtv
I’m saying, while it may not have been the best material, her body looks AWESOME!!

sharon_stone_time worst dressed 2009

And another highlight, Sharon Stone bringing up the rear @ number ten. Doesn’t she make at least one of these list every year?? I thought this was bedroom wear gone bad.

Check the rest of the list over on TIME

Time’s Top 10 Tweets of 2009.

December 10, 2009

Top Ten Tweets of 2009. I dare you to say Top 10 Tweets 10 times fast.

Today’s installment of Time’s Top 10 is the Top 10 Tweets. I definitely think there were probably more interesting tweets from less popular figures, but I guess those don’t make the cut. *sigh*

According to Time There are some of the Top 10:

Ashton Kutcher: “Victory is ours!!!!!!” For his race against @CNNbrk for the first to 1 million followers. Sad day when @aplusk is getting more followers than the news. But then again, the news is full of entertainment stories now, so I guess this is accurate.

@kapanak – June 19  “Only 10 hours left until the Iranian people finally disobey their dictator. History is watching. Let’s make it proud.”  This is what Time had to say about this tweet from June, after the Iranian re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
” Beyond celebrities and status updates, this was Twitter’s real moment of 2009: 140 character glimpses of life, fear and death on the streets of a country in turmoil.” And this is why Twitter is so hard to explain to people who think its just for following friends and saying your every thought. It’s really more.

Cory Booker
– Newark, NJ’s mayor made the list! “Pres is inviting Conan & I to come have a beer & try 2 settle this. This could be a teachable moment” Um.. I had to highlight the fact that someone from my great state is on the list, even if it was due to some blah beef between Newark’s mayor and Conan O’Brien. Cory Booker is definitely after some higher aspirations. hhhmmm…

Check out the rest of the list including tweets from Oprah, Shaq & Tracy Morgan.

Top 10 Lists Rock My World

December 9, 2009

I had said that the thing I hate most about this time of year were the TOp XXXXX List’s you’ll see appearing everywhere. But I neglected to mention there is an exception to that: Time’s Top 10 Lists. There are so many to choose from! They have list for the Top 10 Albums to the Top 10 Worst Business Deals. I LOVE Time magazine’s lists, even the few they do during the course of the year.

I think for the next few weeks I’m going to highlight a few of these lists, starting with Today’s Top 10 T-Shirt Worthy Slogans. After all, who doesn’t love a mildly politically and socially amusing Tee??

kanye west finish tee
Kanye’s MTV debacle isn’t going to die anytime soon. It’s just not. It’s going to be funny for a long time. Deal with it!

tiger woods kobe special tee

Tiger just made the 2009 lists. He is definitely having the quickest fall from grace. Is this Golf’s biggest scandal ever??

moss kate skinny feels teeI can imagine this to be true!

For  the rest of the Top 10 T-Shirt Worthy Slogans check them out HERE. I am coming back tomorrow with another list. What should it be? Top 10 Albums or Top 10 Tweets. I’m kind of gearing towards the Top 10 Tweets!

2.Running for a cause or just running to run? Either way, I want to run a 5k SOON! <—I used to practice running doing the mentioned formula. It really does help. I did it not because I was lazy, but because I get THE worst shin splints. Don’t know what a shin split is? See HERE

Fashion Friday 11.20.09: Spotlight on Zoe Saldana

November 20, 2009

I don’t really remember her in anything before Drumline, and honestly, she didn’t register on my fashion radar then. but she stayed around. She was in the Terminal with Tom Hanks, Guess Who with Bernie Mac, Pirates of the Carribean w/ my boo Johnny Depp, Vantage Point, and (among other things) most recently Star Trek.She’s said that she’s sometimes mistaken for Thandie Netwon. Besides them both being thin, I don’t see the resemblence.

zoesaldana headshot
I think she is adorable, and of course I would since she’s a Jersey girl! She doesnt’ look a day over 25, can you believe she was born in ’78?

zoe_thigh highs OW! Sexy! I think thigh highs are hella sexy!

zoe gray dress grey shoesThese shoes are rocking my world. I need these in my life. STAT!

ZoeSaldana green red carpet dressThat’s what I think is sometimes off w/ Zoe. Her smile looks forced. Cute, nonetheless.

short hair zoe saldanaAnd she’s even FAB in the short hair.

Love Come Down : Dirty Money

November 18, 2009

Totally dig the song, even though I could have lived without Diddy on it. I dig the girls, very Total-esque vibe. I’ll definitely listen to the album when it drops, but that’s because I like Dawn. She was always my favorite Danity Kane girl, maybe because I felt she really was talented & creative.

Hot Sexxy Mama! Beyonce <3

November 10, 2009

I really adore Beyonce, its sad that her music is going so far adrift from where my musical preference is going, but I still think she is a force. Check out these pics of her at Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece. She looks fabulous! I hope marriage makes me look as good!

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t waiting to see what kind of video is going to emerge for Video Phone with Lady GaGa. I’m hoping its better than the Ego video, that one let me down!

beyonce athens animal dress

I <3 these bangs! And look how tan she looks!

beyonce athens red carpet

HAUTE!!

beyONce red carpet greece And because no one is without fault. Those shoes do NOT work for me with that dress!  I’ve learned to always expect that one no-no from Tina Knowles..

Spreading Sunshine 11.3.09

November 3, 2009

Happy Election Day! I hope everyone went out to vote in their local elections! These are the MOST important, and many fail to realize that!

Happy Quarter Century to my BFF forever!! Love you sister girl!

And now on with the flow!

Prelude: Chris, baby, What are you wearing.. I hope this is a rough sketch. Don’t be a part of the skinny jeans epidemic!!Or even so, I could get over that, but this album cover has no cohesiveness. You can’t have the punk rocker guitar skinny jean look, spraying those little bugs with that little can of RAID. The graffiti should be bigger & bolder, and lose the shades!!

chris brown graffit leak

1. AHH!! The epidemic of hysteria regarding Swine Flu totally has flown right over my head. I don’t get hysteric about too much of anything, and this is one of them. I have never had a flu shot, nor do I really plan to get one now. Swine or otherwise. And frankly, I’m tired of hearing about it. I loved this blog on it! Check out Kimmie!

2. Seriously? Rihanna is Woman of the Year? What has she done beside walk around dressed like a hooker enjoying the sympathy given to her by the people who think she was “victim” of domestic violence. Her style? Credit her stylist. Her songs- credit Ne-Yo and the Dream. What a waste of page space. Seriously Glamour – Do Better. (via egotisticegotism)

3.I too LOVE Tim Burton. Him & Johnny Depp make sweet melodies I always enjoy. They do no wrong to me! I’d never seen any of this stuff though. I feel like I just got my Christmas Gift!

4. This was dope. Boys 12 as young as 12 saying they don’t like black girls really. The situation isn’t dope, but her experience and relating to it was great. A long, but worthwhile read if you as me. Part 1 | Part 2

I have a few more things I might save for later, I need to read it over a little more thoroughly! Hope you enjoy!

And don’t forget:   GO VOTE!!

Why? Wednesday!

October 28, 2009

amy winehouse nipple

I hope everyone gets over Hump Day! Here’s a few Why’s for Wednesday. Add you own! I used to do this with a book club I belonged to. It’s very relaxing!

1. Why did Amy Winehouse get implants? This looks horrible. My eyes can’t take it! Check the before and after man!Thing is, I think she has the potential to be pretty. Shoot, others look worse!

amywinehouse pre boob job

2. Why do people fuel pseudo celebrities? Like seriously, because Tameka Foster-Raymond, or whoever she is, keeps feeding the media, she seems to think she is famous. Honey you’re not. And neither are half these other people. Why won’t they just go away.  Audacity . REAL celebs don’t call people at home.This is why you’d never be famous! Speaking of Pseudo celebs, why everyone gotta pick on Khloe Kardashian? Saying how she’s the ugliest sister? She’s a cute girl, and idiot, but still cute. I hate that picture they have up all  over the internet of her in that horrible red lipstick. She shouldn’t be allowed to do that!

3. Why do I like Chris Brown’s new video, but I’m not totally sold on the song? Maybe its because of Wayne. I’m so not into him. But I love C.Brown. He’s getting older now too, so I don’t feel so pervy!


4. Why is R.Kelly still making music that tries to attract 16 yr. olds? That song, Number 1 is whack. Shoot yourself.

5. Why did yahoo auto draft me Shaq? I hate Shaq! Even worse, I hate listening to him talk.

6. Pogo.com’s Battle ship is utterly addicting. Why do I spend many hours playing this new game. Salvo style please and thank you!

Cleo Reviews: Law Abiding Citizen

October 19, 2009

law Abiding citizen

*** Possible Spoilers**

Man seeking revenge for the death of his family. Not a new concept, but it can always be redone. Clyde is a “normal” guy who’s wife and daughter are slaughtered in front of him. He attempts to let the justice system do its job, but is disappointed that the man who did it gets cut a break for snitching on his accomplice. Clyde is NOT happy with that, in fact he’s straight up pissed! Flash forward 10 years and he enacts his revenge, or his plot to fix the system.

Clyde is up against Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx). Rice is a good guy, but he’s typical DA material, more concerned with his conviction rate than actually doing justice. And that’s the plot in a nutshell. Clyde wants justice, not deals!!! And you better get it right, or you’re TOAST!

Ok, so just who is the Law Abiding Citizen in this movie? From the previews you think it’s going to be Gerard Butler being LAC but being devious at it, but as you continue to watch the movie you think Jamie Foxx is the LAC. So really, just who is it? I think the movie makers want us to be confused. They want to make you question, do your root for the “bad guy” or the guy who is just doing his job?

This movie was suspenseful, slightly gory (hello, his blood GUSHED out of his neck, and her brains were on the floor), and above all well written. Except the end, I do have some gripes about the ending because it could have been much better. I mean, Brooke McQueen (Leslie Bibb for those who don’t know) could have been so much better! Not that she was bad, but her talent could have been used in better ways, like she should have been trying to smash Nick. Then I’d believe her character, after all no one works hard and gets to the top these days!

Go See it, but not after you just ate.
