It's a little bit disconcerting to watch "Mean Girls" surrounded by a bunch of teenagers who laugh at the girls in the movie, failing to realize that they themselves are EXACTLY like the actors on screen. The movie (which is really good btw) is about a group of girls called the "Plastics" - girls who bitch, gossip, backstab, are superficial, are dumb, are slutty, are superficial and are superficial. The girls sitting around me, made fun of how stupid the "Plastics" were and laughed at all their antics on screen. Meanwhile, they were wearing skirts that should've been illegal for their age and tops that were tight enough to juice an orange... so to speak... okay more like juice a couple grapes... hehehe... They were real-life Plastics! As soon as the movie was over, the girls proceeded to have the following conversation. (I swear I am not exaggerating one bit!): Girl 1: The movie was so good eh? Girl 2: I know, those "Plastics" were so mean and bitchy! I hated them! Girl 1: Yeah I know! Anyway, so eww, did you like, see Ryan's girlfriend? Girl 2: Yes she was SO ugly! I wanted to laugh at her face! Girl 1: I can't believe he's going out with her! Girl 2: Totally! She's such a bitch and a half! Girl 1: Ugh. Seriously! Girl 2: Hey pass me a cigarette k? I could not believe what I was hearing. Did they not realize that the irony of their conversation? Did they NOT just watch the same movie that I did? It's like watching Passion of the Christ and then wanna go paintballing... it's just wrong! My mouth was totally wide open. (I bet the girls' mouths were wide open too... but for an entirely different reason altogether...) ;) What not to wear was SO bo-ring tonight! It's not fun to watch when there isn't some sort of drastic change going on y'know? And the guy was SO stubborn! Thursday, April 29, 2004
To the person who found my site by searching for "John Stevens and Jasmine Trias' romance" - EWWW! What kind of sick son of a beech are you?! (In black mamma's voice >>) I ate a lot for lunch today.. don't make it come back out! Don't go there! (insert black mamma hand swipe gesture here) Before anyone says anything about Britney Spears, considering how every single minute of her life is spent in the public eye. She can't even so much as take a walk without being hounded by the paps. Take a look HERE It's kinda sad actually... she has no privacy to live her life... Wednesday, April 28, 2004

And now... 6 Completely Random Observations about American Idol's top 6 tonight: 1. Gloria Estefan is worse than Paula! It was like her and Paula were having a "being nice" competition, except that Paula frowned once, thereby losing her the contest. 2. John Stevens totally sang bad on purpose tonight so that he would be eliminated! I swear! He felt bad that Jennifer went instead of him and so he decided he would "botch" his performance to get voted out! He had this little smirk on his face at the end, as if he knew exactly how bad he was singing and still continued with it! It's the best "performance" he's done all year! 3. Stop making those googly eyes George! Does anyone else notice it? It's like a cross between a baby's batty eyes and a cartoon character's bulging eyes. And yet somehow it makes George look like a frog... 4. Did anyone see the "look" LaToya gave to Fantasia during that opening segment in the red room? Ryan was asking who's got the "moves" and Fantasia pointed to LaToya, but in a mocking way, whereby LaToya had this really devious smile directed back at Fantasia. (Okay, maybe I'm just over-analyzing... I love a little drama now and then) 5. Eww. Stop giggling Paula. Stop "tickling" her Simon. Stop "touching" him back Paula. Eww. It's no wonder your finger got infected. (insert MSN barfing emoticon HERE). 6. John better be out tomorrow. I wouldn't mind if George left either. Monday, April 26, 2004
At approximately 9:26 this evening an audible gasp was heard from Tim Chan's living room; Tim shocked from what he saw on The OC! Did you catch it? It was only for a second... in the scene with Marissa and Theresa? Theresa was pregnant, blah blah blah, but more importantly, Marissa has the same bookshelf CD player that I do!!!!! The streamlined, slim, silver Panasonic system that also sits on MY bookshelf!!!! Whoa. I totally got it for Christmas though and Marissa just moved into her house so that means I'm like at least 4 months ahead here. I am SO in with the OC! As a sidenote, my friend Azadeh called me a Chinese Seth Cohen today. (Okay, so I sorta asked her if I reminded of her Seth and her answer was more like "uh... sorta?" instead of "yeah totally!") But still... SO in with the OC! Friday, April 23, 2004
Everything about tonight's episode of What Not to Wear seemed so forced... and WEIRD! First of all, what the heck culture were those twins? Part Japanese and part Alien? They seriously could not speak properly at all! And they waddled rather than walked! And don't even get me started on their beady eyes and annoyingly pasted on smiles. Clark? I never knew you had siblings... And everything was so forced. From the twins' reaction to their new hairstyles (which btw, Nick is totally getting worse at doing) and then their attempts to speak into the diary cameras? Even Stacy's "SHUT UP!" was more "uh.. uh.. shut up?" The transformation was good I guess. But it was more circus freak show then fashion show if you know what I mean... PS> I'm in NYC this weekend... SO searching for Clinton and Stacy! =p Okay... don't laugh... but I'm totally diggin' the new single from uh.... Hanson! Yes Hanson. It's called Penny and Me tonight and you can check it out HERE or watch them perform it live on MTV. They still look like girls but they don't sound like girls anymore! The single is a great, piano-driven rock gem and it definitely shows their maturing sound. Mmm-bop indeed! Is it weird that I felt sorry for Janice when she said goodbye to Chandler at the end of tonight's episode of Friends? It's the last time we'll hear her say "OH... MY... GAWD" forever!

So next Tuesday, at approximately 9 pm, Joelle and I are taking a mini road trip across the border to Vermont where we will hijack a row of phone booths and proceed to vote for LaToya and Fantasia and Jasmine. Tonight's bottom 3 was so wrong! Anyone wanna join our little excursion? For anyone who's missed A.I. performances check out THIS site for audio and video from past shows. And to the person who stumbled upon this site searching for "funny skits about butterflies" - huh? Tuesday, April 20, 2004
Wow! EVERYONE was really good tonight on American Idol! (Well except George Huff. He was just "aight" for me). Joelle and I were SO nervous that Jasmine would mess up, because let's face it, she's on the cutting block this week. But she sang beautifully and without her lucky flower too! (Not that Joelle called suddenly in the middle of the show to alert me to this fact or anything... forcedcough, forcedcough...) LaToya was solid as usual and I really liked the melody of the song Diana sung. My pastor thinks that Jennifer Hudson is not that great. Well I think his sermons are... no no, that's just mean. (I'm just kidding! Honest! Pastord Dave is great!) I even liked John Stevens for once! And not even because Brit boyband Westlife did a recent cover of "Mandy" either! John was actually emoting tonight and I was puzzled at the bad comments he got from the judges. Finally... Fantasia... She is some kind of super duper freak but hey, mama keeps the competition interesting. George is out this week. Not Jasmine... please not Jasmine...! ;) Monday, April 19, 2004
Having taken a couple of film classes, I've learned to appreciate the many different parts of a movie or TV show besides the actual plot line. Tonight's final camera shot on The OC was a good example. While the dialogue said "we'll be just fine," the looks on the faces of Ryan and Marissa spoke volumes about the actual state of their minds and their relationship. Understated but effective. Sunday, April 18, 2004
I finally took a lot of people's advice... and watched Alias tonight. (Alright fine, it was to bide my time before Extreme Makeover: Home Edition!) But Alias was so... so... confusing! I felt bad asking Azadeh and Saira to explain everything to me because there are just way too many secret code thingys, group names, secret spies, etc. to keep track of. Granted, it was a unique and engaging series and I think it'll be worth another shot. But seriously, I think I hafta read up on the history and storyline before attempting to watch it again!

Apparently What Not to Wear is casting in Toronto now... Interesting... (Tim rubs chin mysteriously) Beware my Toronto and surrounding area friends! I just might nominate you! (I totally wish I could nominate myself for the $5000 shopping spree but c'mon, let's face it, ME need a style makeover? Pssh!) =p Oh and tonight's ep of WNTW was one of the best ones yet! I'm going back to NYC next weekend and I totally intend to find my hero Clinton and get his autograph! He might just bump Ryan Seacrest off my list of famous people I aspire to be like! (Not that I have a list of famous people I aspire to be like or anything...) Thursday, April 15, 2004
Buh-bye JPL! Off to join the other 3 letter acronymed celebrity has-beens! (JLH and JTT anyone?) And America is FINALLY getting it right by placing Diana and John in the bottom three. Interesting to see who'll be in the top three... On a related note, I really think Christina Christian is INCREDIBLY good-looking (and skinny eh?) but her song was so bland... What was it called again? Forever and ever? (That makes me think Shania Twain) But anyway, Christina's little ass shake at the end was good but she didn't dance an entire beat except for that... And the song lacks the punch that Tamyra's song had last week. Oooo but Brandon Walsh showed up! Score! Finally, go to Kimberley Locke's official site or her fan site and download her video for "8th World Wonder"! It's SO cute! Totally sappy but still, a great video! After watching all the brainless fare on TV these past few weeks (brainless fare = The Swan, What Not to Wear, The Bachelor, etc.), I did not understand anything from Smallville last night?! Was it just me, or did it seem like they took all the reruns and combined elements from them to make a "new" episode? Clark and Lana's on and off romance dilemma, the key (which I had totally forgotten about!), Jonathan's deal with Jor-El, Lex and Lionel fighting, Christopher Reeve... It seriously was like watching a new rerun, if that makes any sense... So what happened at the end? How many keys are there? Okay.. I'm so lost... Someone please explain this to me... :s Wednesday, April 14, 2004
Either Adam Brody is begining to add even more unecessarily protracted vocabulary to his already interminably rapid fire dialogue delivery... or I am just hard of hearing. I seriously could not understand a THING he said tonight on The OC. I mean, I was all, "was that a joke?" and "is this the sarcastic part?" and "why did he say that?" and "Damn it I think I missed the boat and couldn't see why that was witty!" I DID, however, catch that incredibly sappy (but still very effective) scene where Summer kiss-apologized for being mean to Seth all of last year. Awwww.... They are SO much better than Ryan (I wore the same outfit that I've worn in all the other episodes) Atwood and Marissa (I wore the same crying face that I've worn in all the other episodes) Cooper. But the thing that really upset me the most? Luke didn't die!!! Now I'm no sadist, but the spoilers said that someone was going to die! And all signs pointed to Luke! So if it ain't him, either a) my spoiler gods are wrong or b) it'll be someone else... Unless that someone else is Marissa (tragic burns from hair straightener maybe?), I don't want anyone else off the show! Fantasia was amazing tonight. I've always been cynical of her up to now, but tonight was her night. LaToya and Jennifer were also really good, which would set up a rather interesting top three if they continue like this. The three soul sistas are gonna split and it'll be interesting to see which one becomes Ms Ross and which two become the Supremes. Jasmine? She's trailing behind... "When I fall in love?" Sorry Jasmine, but I kept picturing Jim Verraros doing sign language throughout your performance! And I totally agree with Simon's comments that her and Diana are trying too hard to be grown-up. Just be yourself girls. JPL? Stop being yourself! Yourself is weird and annoying and frankly, you're beginning to scare me just a bit. Doesn't he sorta have this *glazed* look to him? Like he's a schizo/psycho in waiting? And for the first time tonight I actually took a minute to consider his job. Pen Salesman? What the HECK is that? Who needs someone to sell them pens? I swear, watch out for this one girls... *psycho*... I feel like a Trading Spaces homeowner. You know how they always scream "OH MY GOD!" when they see their new rooms? Yeah, I dunno HOW many times I said "OH MY GOD!" during tonight's episode of One Tree Hill! Keith... what are you doing?! Talk about bad timing! And Brooke... even though you might be pregnant with Lucas' child (or the child of that random guy you hooked up with in a bar), I still like you. Beauty over baby I always say! ;) Tuesday, April 13, 2004
Note to self: Start taking notes during Everwood. The show always has such thought-provoking quotables! Last night's ep featured some really good lines, esp. from Dr. Brown when he was telling Ephram about moving on and living life. Unfortunately, I didn't have a pen and paper handy to jot down these "moving" quotes. Fortunately, I taped Everwood so I can go back to the scene and take down the dialogue. Unfortunately, I have a life. Here's a good line that I remembered though: "Some hearts are fragile and pure... Like crystals in a sea of glass, even the way they shatter is beautiful." [PS: SO many kleenex moments this week! When Delia "fired" Madison, Amy threw out her pills, Dr. Abbott coming to see Bright! Ephram and Madison though? Good grief. Thank god that one's over]. Best explanation yet for Brit's new vid courtesy of Emm: "I think she like almost dies, and is almost in 'heaven' sees a lady give birth and realizes that life is precious and that she should finish living no matter how 'frantic' stardom is." So profound eh? Deep Emm, deep. Monday, April 12, 2004
Wow. Britney Spears' video for Everytime? I'm speechless. People are going to see that Britney is more than a song and dance girl after this one. Incredible. Download it HERE or HERE (or do a search for it on any other Britney fan site) Okay, this Days of Our Lives serial killer storyline is literally, killing me! Is Marlena the killer or not? Everytime I watch... I mean, hear about the show... Marlena is acting all evil and stuff. But apparently, during the days I don't watch... I mean, hear about the show... she's being cleared of all charges! What is going on? If she IS the killer, I dunno how the DOOL writers will redeem her character. Apparently the explanation to all this is something "never before done on television" so considering Marlena's been possessed, exorcised, cloned, kidnapped, buried alive, trapped in another person's body, etc. I can't think of how the writers are going finish this one...

OMG! Voice-activated doors and lights? Elevator? Swimming pool? Super huge room? Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (henceforth known as EM:HE b/c I'm too lazy to type out the whole title) keeps bringing tears to people's eyes - mind included. Except they're not tears of happiness for the lucky family. (Damn cripple). They're big, wet tears of insane jealousy. Awwwwww.... How sweet were Nick and Jess tonight? I mean, don't get me wrong - TOTALLY cheesy(!) but still so sweet! Sorta reminded me of a "variety show" I put together with a bunch of my friends at church when we were 9. And that's not a diss to Nick and Jess. I'm just saying... The show itself was hit and miss. I LOVED the "10 Seconds of Awkwardness with Mr. T" part! (If you didn't watch it, it was literally 10 seconds of Mr. T on screen just staring into the camera. So so funny!) I also liked the skits with the puns and Jess in the Mickey Mouse club? That kid was a dead-ringer for Justin Timberlake eh? The duets were really good too, esp. Nick's. His voice is way better than I thought. Dunno why his record label's stopped supporting him. And Jess is good too... except she's started to develop very Celine-esque facial expressions. It's like she has to go to the bathroom really really badly... or like she's pulled a muscle in her face. Oh man. HOW funny was SNL tonight? The skit with the Italian winemakers talking about "cork soaking?!" (say that with an Italian accent and you'll know why it's so funny...) The return of Chris Kattan and Tracy Morgan?! Sketches about Black people! (I love those black people with attitude skits that they do...) Even Simon Cowell made an appearance, although his talents were terribly wasted on that lame sing-along sketch. Oh yeah, and Janet was on, although frankly, she's just sorta... weird... I can't tell if she's shy, nervous or just plain... weird? Hmm, guess it runs in the family... Saturday, April 10, 2004
Note to self: Ideas to pitch to a local television network 1) What Not to Wear - for teenagers Starring Tim Chan (as Clinton) and Emily Argue/Howden (as Stacy) Notes: Teenagers already have incredibly low self-esteem and poor self-image. Imagine what great television it would make to have two impeccably well-dressed university students crack jokes about their fashion sense and tell them how bad they look! 2) Reality show - A liberal Jewish girl and a conservative Christian Chinese boy trade families for a month to see how they would survive in the other's shoes. Starring Tim Chan (as conservative Chinese boy) and Rachelle Solomon (as liberal Jewish girl) Notes: This show really has potential to be a big reality hit! Really. "This is gonna be the BEST 'What Not to Wear' EVER!" we say to ourselves as Lenka, Emm and I hang out to watch the show together tonight. "I mean, check out the early 80s hair! Once Nick gets a hold of her, she'll look WAY better!" Unfortunately, by the end of the show, School Teacher (also known to us as "the conservative quaker prude") still had her 80s hair (although Lenka remarked that it was now late 80s) and still had ugly clothing! It was def. not the fabolous makeover we expected... Everything just seemed so "off" tonight. Even Clinton wasn't looking like he knew what to wear! A (literally) flaming orange shirt? A blue shirt with butterflies? The tightest gray pants ever known to man? Clinton! What happened?! We used to love you!! Def. not what we expected... Thursday, April 08, 2004
Here's a funny skit I found on a message board about Solange (a.k.a. less famous and less successful sister of Beyonce) and her marriage (a.k.a. pregnancy cover-up!) =p Featuring: Solange and the Knowles Crew, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Daniel Smith (Solange's "husband") Solange: [crying] Daddy, I am pregnant. Mathew: What do you mean, Honey bunches of Solo? Solange: It means I got knocked up, Daddy. Mathew: Well then, I'll be darned if this gonna happen! What are you gonna do? Solange: I really don't know. [Beyonce enters] Beyonce: Praise the Lawd for this year's been great! Mathew: Beyonce, your sister is pregnant. Beyonce: Oh. Mathew: Solange, with whom did you copulate? Solange: I did it with Daniel Smith. Beyonc: The boy that is stupider than a box of rocks? Solange: Not funny Bee! [Kelly and Michelle enter] Kelly: What's the schpeel? Mathew: Solange is getting married. Solange: I don't wanna get married to him. Daddy?. Mathew: Hold on, you're getting married to him golden grahams. It would cover up the pregnancy plus it might spike CD sales. Who knows you might hit gold. Solange: It is all about you and those CD sales. I mean why don't you do that to Michelle? She sold less than I did! Mathew: Way ahead of you darling. I planted that seed yesterday along with your marriage. Solange: How did you know I was pregnant? Michelle: You know Mathew has eyes on the back of his head. Tina: Now Solange. We are good at covering things up. Listen to your daddy. We have managed to make the public think that Beyonce didn't kick out La Toya and Latavia and Farrah. I mean that when Beyonce gets mad she just blames it on Sasha, her imaginary fr- [interrupted] Beyonce: I came up with that one on my own. Tina: Being a Knowles is tough. But we have an image to keep. I know that Daniel is not that intellectually stimulating but at least he is not that ugly. On the other hand Beyonce's - - [interrupted] Beyonce: Don't start with me momma. [Daniel enters] Daniel: Solange I have been trying to call you for days. Solange: About what? Daniel: You know. Solange: They know too. You are so stupid, get out of my face. Daniel: Hey, Momma says stupid is stupid does. And dates are like a box of life and you don't know which one is going to suck. [Solange crying hysterically] Tina: Kelly take Solange to the foyer. Kelly: Ok Madam. [Solange exists] Mathew: You got my daughter pregnant. Now you must take her hand in marriage. Daniel: I think that it is a little soon. I haven't gotten to fulfill my dreams. Michelle: Hold on Mister you did the deed, you handle the weed! Beyonce: Fa shinky! Mathew: Everything is already set and ready for the commercial wedding and all you need to do is go along for the ride. Capiche? Tina: Just do as we say and everything will be fine. Daniel: Ok. [Mathew and Daniel exist] Beyonce: I can't believe that I am not married before her. Michelle: Beyonce, not everything that's happening is all about you! Beyonce: What did you just say to me Michelle? (angry) Michelle: I am not even going to start with you. I am bouncing out of this piece. Bye! [Michelle exists] Tina: [to Beyonce] Come and help me make the dresses for Solange's wedding. After that we can start planning on coordinating Michelle's "exit." Beyonce: Shack tuba laly. Thank you JE-SUS! Let's do it! Tina: Girl, you strange. Beyonce: That wasn't me, it was Sasha. [Tina and Beyonce exit laughing] Methinks I saw Peyton and Nathan kissing during the preview for next week's One Tree Hill! So I guess now that everyone's slept with everyone, it's time for a second go around? Man, this show flips mattresses more than The Brick, if you know what I mean... ;) (And you probably DON'T know what I mean considering like half a person got my Jewish joke from last week).

P-HEW!! Do NOT scare me like this America! Why was Jasmine in the bottom 2 tonight? And why, again, were JPL and John Stevens safe? Canadians would NOT do that. We're way smarter about who we pick! Wait... never mind - We picked Ryan Malcolm. Not so subliminal message: BUY THE TAMIA CD!! She's probably one of the most under-rated R&B artists out there right now. And she's married to Grant Hill. And she's Canadian. So as my not-so-black Chinese friend Eldon would say, "Cop that album now!" ;) I emit a sort of grunt whenever I get really into the TV show I'm watching. There's a good grunting noise that I make when I like something, a sultry one when I like someone and a bad grunt for well, something or someone bad. Like when LaToya delivered a soulful and sassy performance tonight I did the "Amen sista! I feel you!" grunt. And when Jasmine came out in her cute little outfit I gave her a "damn that's hot" grunt. But when JPL tone-deafed his way thru his song, I let out the "omigod stop singing, you're putting me in pain" grunt. I also made that sound for John Stevens, who really should be leaving the competition tomorrow night. Redhead should've been red-faced with the "performance" he put on tonight! Tuesday, April 06, 2004
* TV timbits * Everwood was finally back on last night. And somehow the writers skipped through what seemed like an entire episode! Like we didn't see the part where Tommy was rushed to the hospital following his drug overdose nor the part where Madison did something to make Ephram think she was mad at him. And we weren't aware that gay dad was coming back nor that Amy was moving back home. Continuity people! So many important events appeared to be skipped over... or did I just miss an episode...? I haven't really been following Average Joe: Adam Returns, but I managed to catch the last bit of last night's finale. Apparently, Adam chose the "hot beauty" over his more ordinary "soulmate," or something like that. But the thing is... the "more ordinary" Rachel was really really pretty! But she was presented as one of the average Janes on the show? I'm sorry but Samantha was not much of a looker if you ask me. "I guess Adam just wanted looks over substance," pined Rachel in the impossibly dreadful tour bus. "(sob sob)(sob sob)" As if we're spose to feel sorry that Rachel wasn't pretty enough? I think the producers tried really hard to do the whole "hot vs. average" thing again this time, only it didn't work because both girls were about the same. And so the ending doesn't work out to be quite as captivating as they think. I also think that I am beginning to babble unecessarily which in this case, signals the ending of this blog entry.

I am so giddy right now. I feel like a child who just licked a big, sweet lollipop for the first time in his life. Only I'm talking about the Britney Spears concert... okay.. same thing I guess? It was SUCH an amazing night. Kelis opened and unfortunately for her, no one in Montreal knew her songs. So when my favourite Kelis song, "Caught out there" (a.k.a. "I hate you so much right now!") came on, her performance was just a little ironic. She's hooked up with Nas now so when she started screaming the chorus - "I hate you so much right now!" - I felt like it wasn't directed at her man anymore but at the lameass Montreal audience. Seriously no one stood up for her. People were just sitting there. Eating popcorn. And comparing slutty outfits. Thankfully, Britney was next. Britney Spears is the ultimate performer. She manages to come across like a little girl just having some fun with her friends, while totally blowing your mind with incredible dance routines, stylish sets, jaw-dropping ensembles (more on that later) and amazingly accurate lip-syching! I had to double check with Micah to verify what songs she actually sang (Note: That would be her two ballads: Everytime and Shadow). The show was less dollhouse production and MUCH more sensual and mature. I don't feel bad at all about standing up the whole time and blocking the view of the little girl behind me, because honestly, she should NOT have been watching that! (And face it, she deserved to not see the concert with the incessantly shrill screaming she put me through the whole night! Little bitch!) Sorry... where was I? Right... Brit Brit's newfound sensuality... Let's just say, from the moment the Chinese mandolin chords of "Touch of my Hand" came on, I was seriously gasping for breath. I am not even kidding. I am so glad Micah didn't wear his "WWJD" bracelet tonight because Jesus would definitely NOT be doing uh... what Britney was doing on stage! Curious? I was in such shock, I'm not even sure I caught everything, but there were two guys in white briefs rubbing each other, a girl in a black bra giving her mattress a massage (so to speak), a guy (again in briefs) thrusting his hips against his pillow and oh yeah, Britney in her nude Toxic outfit reclining in a bathtub! And just when you thought it couldn't get any hot and heavier, she began writhing on a bed to the sounds of "Breathe on Me" and proceeded to makeout with one of her dancers. I swear to god I need to get a prescription for a puffer stat! Brunette Britney sang almost all her new songs, including my new favourites - "The Hook-Up" and "I've Got that Boom Boom," which had her wearing a hot pink lace-up with these baggy, "homie-style" pants. Other "outfits" consisted of pink bra and panties set, pink garter getup, a black leather catsuit and have I mentioned the nude outfit yet? And then her stage presence. I knew she uses the same lines every show. From the "you guys rock" line that she used as default, to the "I've gone through a lot of ups and downs" bit that segued into "Everytime." But when Britney talked about her marriage - "You know what? If you guys are lucky, I just might hafta marry you tonight!" - it was refreshing to see that she could laugh at her mistakes. It made her suddenly seem so... real. She wasn't taking herself too seriously and that allowed her performance to come across less forced and more fun. When the lights finally came on after "Me against the music," I was still trying to find my breath. But after taking in an incredible hour and a half of Britney Spears, I wasn't sure that I wanted to exhale just yet. Sunday, April 04, 2004

Methinks Clinton is in love...! I'm so sure he "accidentely" wandered into the same store as the What Not to Wear guy on tonight's episode. And he just "happened" to remark on the guy's "thick thighs" and "great arms?" Whatever! And I mean, the guy was obviously into Clinton too - Laughing at Clinton's jokes, giving Clinton "props," complimenting Clinton's fashion sense, buying pink after seeing it on Clinton... oh shoot... that sounds like me... Except for one BIG difference between the guy on tonight's episode and myself: I... am... not... from California! (haha.. and oh yeah, that guy was REALLY gay!) Hmm.. I always thought gay guys knew how to dress? I'm sorry but Julia Stiles in a romantic comedy? Her voice is lower than mine! And "The Prince and Me?" As an English student, I must point out the terrible grammar. (Is it on purpose?) It's worser than a kid's! There's just something very un-romantic about Julia Stiles... perhaps the fact that she is reminiscent of an aging man? Or that her hair lends itself better to the role of female janitor than it does a princess? No no.. it's definitely her low, booming, voice. Bring out the voice during Halloween and you'll have no need for scary sound effects! |
