Ghost Whisperer Co-Stars Back Together?

2012-02-08T23:48:00.001-07:00

There have been rumors all over the place the past few days that Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy are back together - I am here to confirm that it is NOT true. I guess the original story was on E! and got spread around to other media sites like wildfire. They have both confirmed the news as rumors themselves. I actually said it wasn't true when I first heard the rumor, but I wanted to post the confirmation after it was made official.

Prop 8 Found Unconstitutional....AGAIN!

2012-02-07T11:42:00.002-07:00

Well, it was a victory for the gays in California today because that big proposition that kept them from getting married back in 2010 has been shut down yet again. The 9th Circuit Court (in all their wisdom) deemed Prop 8 as "unconstitutional" for the second time. Now the case goes back to the Supreme Court, and I am hoping for very similar results! Congrats California!

I can only hope that more good news will come about Washington state passing the bill for same-sex marriage!

Snooki Is....More Than Curious

2012-02-07T08:42:00.000-07:00

I don't watch the show, but most of my friends here in town do, and I have seen the cast on Ellen a few times...The girls recently did an interview with Huffington Post, and this is what was said: Jersey Shore Interview

The Amazing Spiderman (Trailer #2)

2012-02-07T07:33:00.001-07:00

Here is the latest trailer for the newest Spiderman movie starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone (who are dating in real life - in case you have been living in a cave or something): The movie comes to theaters July 3rd!

Brandy & Monica - It All Belongs To Me (Song Premiere)

2012-02-06T16:28:00.000-07:00

Well, the two ladies got together again after 14 years, and recorded a new song:

Artist Spotlight - February

2012-02-04T21:47:00.000-07:00

Chris Koon - First up we have one of my favorite up and coming male artists, he opened for Aaron Carter last year! You can find him on Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube!

Curtis Grimes - Some people may know him as "The Voice" reject, but this is one very talented guy! I saw him perform here in my town, and I am not a country fa, but he was awesome! You can find him on Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube :)

Drew Ryniewicz - Last, but not least, we have a young lady that definitely made a lasting impression on anyone that was watching "The X Factor" this past season. I still can't believe this talented young lady is only a teenager! You can find Drew on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter!

Miley Cyrus Speaks Out For Equality

2012-02-03T22:35:00.001-07:00

Ms Cyrus got a tattoo last year that was supportive of gay rights, and she got a fair amount of backlash for it. Today she responded:

“When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘All LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me—they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats? Every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color? My dad is a real man’s man, lives on the farm and is as Southern and straight as they come. He loves my gay friends and even supports same-sex marriage. If my father can do it, anyone can. This is America, the nation of dreams. We’re so proud of that. And yet certain people are excluded. It’s just not right."

I do agree with her, and I am proud of her for standing up for what she believes in, and not backing down. I hope someday there will be equal rights for all. Just think, women and African Americans used to have no rights, and they fought their way to equality, so this is just the next logical step :).

The Voice vs American Idol

2012-02-02T21:41:00.000-07:00

It all started with a comment that "American Idol" judge, Randy Jackson, made at the Television Critics Association’s Winter press tour last month: “The winner of ‘The Voice,’ as I will remind you, was an artist who had a deal on Capitol for many years – a failed contract over there – so for that show it was almost like second chance people, it wasn’t like some new artist. It’s a different thing.” So, when the three judges from "The Voice" appeared on Ellen recently (it will air tomorrow), Adam Levine had THIS to say: I don't even watch "American Idol" (except for what ends up online as a "highlight" and I pay attention to who wins/runner up), but I love "The Voice", and if I was going to do a competition show, "The Voice" would win, hands down!

Karmina - Slow Down (Music Video Premiere)

2012-02-01T23:17:00.000-07:00

This song got them onto The Hanson tour as an opening act in 2010. The song was also on my Top 50 that year, but this is the official premiere of the music video! Shoutout to Kelly and Kamille for all the support - love you both!

The Biebs Returns to SNL

2012-01-30T21:08:00.001-07:00

Justin Bieber has been on the show before as a musical guest; this time he will not only be performing, but hosting as well! The exact date is not known yet, but I am sure every teenage girl in America will be up watching it. Some of the other hosts coming up tthis season were confirmed by 16 time host, Alec Baldwin. This week's host will be Zooey Deschanel, and next week brings us Channing Tatum!

The X Factor Is Down To Two

2012-01-30T20:56:00.000-07:00

Earlier today Steve Jones (X Factor host), and Nicole Scherzinger (X Factor judge) both announced that they would not be returning for season 2. Nicole's reasons were to work on her singing career (we might see that long-awaited solo album yet), and Steve's specific reasons were unclear, but I am guessing it was done with some pushing. I personally don't think the show is missing out from losing either one! I wish them both the best of luck with future endeavors though! Any ideas on who the replacements will be? UPDATE: it has been confirmed now that Paula Abdul will also be leaving the show - 3 people all on the same day, should they just cancel?

Interview #9 - Jeff Timmons

2012-01-30T12:24:00.000-07:00

Jeff, if you are reading this, let me just say that my 90s teenager self just swooned

When I had the opportunity to interview Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees, I definitely jumped at the chance. I really appreciate all his support (he is on my Facebook friends list, and he is also following me on Twitter!)

1. How did you get started in the music industry? Have you been singing/playing music since you were a kid? I started singing at a party with some friends at Kent State University when I was in college. We were trying to impress some girls. I sang all of my life in musicals and choir and stuff, but never took it too seriously.

2. Out of YOUR songs (including 98 Degrees), what's your fave?
Heaven's Missing an Angel is my favorite 98 Degrees tune. Perfectly Imperfect is my favorite solo song.

3. What can we expect to see/hear from you in the next year?
A lot. I'm creating a new show on the strip here in Las Vegas. There are also talks of a reality show, and I've got a ton of new music to get out there.

4. What do you like to do in your spare time? How's family life?
I either do music or hang out with my wife and kids. That completely satisfies me. Love family.

5. What other musicians do you like?
I'm a big Michael Jackson fan. I love Prince, Boyz II Men, and totally dig classic pop/rock bands like Journey, Eagles, Boston, and Foreigner.

6. What was it like working with Chippendales?
I had a blast. Time of my life. The guys are rockstars, and the gig rejuvenated my career.

7. If you could perform with anyone, who would it be?
Of course if Michael Jackson were alive, I'd pick him. I'd love to work with Brian McKnight or Christina, but they are part of a long list!

8. Have you kept in contact with any of your former fellow group members?
Yes, I talk to the guys from time to time.

9. As a member of the LGBT community, I must ask: Are there any other Pride festivals/non-profits you do besides Las Vegas?
I've performed at a few Pride Festivals. They are among the best audiences I've had the pleasure of performing for. I support the community, and would love to do more shows.

10. How do you stay fit?
I really got into shape for the Chipps gig. I lost 22 lbs. I do a combination of HIIT Training, P90x, and very heavy free-weight lifting. I'm glad I took the gig, it forced me to get healthy!

If you would like to contact Jeff, you can find him on his official website, his Facebook Fan Page, or his Twitter.

Ferris Bueller Gets Another Day Off

2012-01-30T11:01:00.000-07:00

It's been 26 years since one of the greatest movies of my time has been released, and I thought it was about time that everyone's favorite slacker made his return....good thing the wonderful people at Honda agreed with me! They brought back Matthew Broderick's iconic character for their newest commercial (to be aired during the Super Bowl next week). He plays himself, but it's inspired by FB, and there are over a dozen references to the movie in the 2 minute commercial. (Above is the extended version). Bueller...? Bueller....?

Former Disney Star Charged With DUI

2012-01-30T05:24:00.001-07:00

You might remember Ryan Merriman from such Disney Movies as "Smart House", and "The Luck Of The Irish", but he was also in "Final Destination 3". Most recently he was seen in "Pretty Little Liars" on ABC Family. Anyway, he got arrested for a DUI back in November, and now he has been officially charged. He isn't the first former Disney star to slip up, and I am sure he won't be the last. I will keep you updated!

MTV's The Challenge: Battle of the Exes

2012-01-30T04:45:00.000-07:00

I realize that I am about a week late with this post, and I apologize, but here are my current thoughts on the season: I am rooting for Cara Maria and Abram, and I am going to stay true to that decision because I am a very loyal person. If they were not on the show, I would probably be rooting for Mark and Robin (I still LOVE Johnny, but I am not a Camila fan at ALL). I also like Rachel, and I do want the only all girls team to do really well too. In a dream sequence, those three teams would be the top 3 at the end of the season. The Challenge is one of the only shows I watch on TV anymore, and judging from the first episode, it's not going to disappoint me this season (it never does, but you never know). The only thing missing this season (besides Jenn, who "retired") is Kenny, but I think he wasn't able to go because of the allegations from Tonya (check previous blog).

Jess and Mary B Promotion

2012-01-27T04:07:00.000-07:00

I am going to do something with this post that I don't normally do (who am I kidding? I do it all the time). I have a friend named Mary B who is kind of a local celebrity around San Diego, a role model in the gay community, and even has a worldwide YouTube following. She is a wonderful writer, performer, and can always make me laugh. As a writer myself, I need to give credit where its due, and I hope to be like her someday. Here is her latest video with Jess (another local celeb around San Diego) - they used to host the webshow, "Flawles TV" together.

I just think they are underrated :)

PS: You can find Jess & Mary B on Twitter and Youtube under @marybside & @cautiousplay

Also, just got the hell of it, here is a video of Mary singing (the song starts round the 2 min mark):

New Couple Alert

2012-01-26T08:50:00.004-07:00

While talking to People Magazine about his recovery from his accident earlier this month, Jason Derulo also confirmed that he is in a relationship with Jordin Sparks. There is no word yet on how long they have been together exactly, but it has been since last year. He also said that she has taken care of him. I personally think they are really cute together, and I am happy for both of them. I am also happy that he was able to recover after his near death experience.

Thank you to People for the pic :)

IMDB's Top 10

Demi Lovato Is NOT Back In Rehab

2012-01-25T01:32:00.001-07:00

As usual, one false story made waves earlier, and other sites just picked it up without checking facts or sources. She has had a rough few years, and she is not in another rehabilitation facility, nor is she heading to one in the future. I am so glad that she is doing better, and has turned her life around :). (I got confirmation before posting this story - I don't post things just for the hell of it).

Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection

2012-01-24T01:47:00.000-07:00

In case you haven't heard yet, Katy Perry is releasing her smash album, "Teenage Dream" on March 13th! It will include tracks that didn't make the first cut of the album (including some "featured artist" songs), a duet with Rihanna, and a few other surprises. It might even spawn a record breaking 6th number one single! This also gives me another chance to buy it. Katy Perry started off as a Christian singer, but she really hit it big when her "controversial" single "I Kissed A Girl" hit the radio, and she has been unstoppable ever since!

Adam Lambert - Trespassing (Album Cover)

2012-01-24T00:45:00.000-07:00

The album is set for a March 20th release.

CCAA Brazilian School Ad

2012-01-23T15:36:00.000-07:00

It's supposed to show the importance of being bilingual in today's society. It also stars Megan Fox and Mike Tyson:

Miley Cyrus - "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" (Music Video Premiere)

2012-01-23T14:04:00.000-07:00

It's a Bob Dylan Cover, and it features Johnzo West:

SMASH (Full Episode)

2012-01-23T13:59:00.000-07:00

It premieres the Monday after the Super Bowl (which would be February 6th), but for those of us that don't want to wait:

Super Bowl XLVI Match-Up

2012-01-22T21:00:00.001-07:00

The moment we have waiting for all season long is finally here - we know who is going to the Super Bowl! The Ravens were stomped by the Patriots earlier today, and the Giants beat the 49ers in an exciting overtime. The two teams will now play in Indianapolis (Lucas Oil Stadium - home of The Colts) on February 5th. If you haven't noticed yet, this will be a rematch of the Super Bowl in 2008 - should be a good game. I am hoping that the Patriots can take home the win this year. This game will also feature Kelly Clarkson singing the National Anthem, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert singing "America The Beautiful", and a half time show by Madonna. Add all that, and the world famous commercials, and you have plenty of entertainment for even the non football fan!

Chicago Bear and MTV Star Are Expecting!

2012-01-22T17:54:00.001-07:00

Chicago Bears Quarterback Jay Cutler, and former The Hills/Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari are expecting their first child! You may remember that they got engaged last April and then had a short break up over the summer. They had this to say about the big news: "We are thrilled to announce we are expecting our first child together. It's an amazing time in our life and we can't wait to meet the new addition to our growing family." There is no word yet on how far along she is in the pregnancy, but it looks like they will have a new Bears fan in time for the 2012 football season! I am so happy about this news. I am not a Bears fan, but I love Kristin (have since LB Days), and I think they are a great couple!

Jeff, Who Lives At Home (Official Trailer)

2012-01-22T05:42:00.000-07:00

Set to arrive in theaters on March 16th, 2012! This film stars Susan Sarandon, Jason Segel, and Ed Helms. It was written and directed by Jay and Mark Duplass.

The Most Shocking Break-up Of The Past 5 Years

2012-01-21T13:50:00.002-07:00

In a surprising turn of events, multiple sites are reporting that supermodel, Heidi Klum, and singer Seal are divorcing. Heidi is going to file the papers next week. The couple has been married since May 2005, and have 4 children. I really thought they were going to make it - they seemed so happy, and they even renewed their vows every year. I have to say that this is probably the most shocking divorce news since Reese and Ryan, or Jessica & Nick. They have been having trouble for at least a few months because when TMZ interviewed them back in October and asked what the key was to a successful marriage, they never gave them an answer. The last public appearance of them together was the day after Christmas, and Klum went to the GGs alone. I am very sad about this news, but I hope they can find happiness later on.

UPDATE: They issued this statement to Gossip Cop: “While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition. We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children’s sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy.”

Hot In Cleveland (Part 2)

2012-01-20T16:58:00.001-07:00

Jennifer Love Hewitt makes a return trip to the hit TV Land show this coming Wednesday (January 25th). She made her first appearance last year as Wendie Malick's character's daughter, Emmy. She returns this time with a fiance (played by Joe Jonas). Set your Tivos for 10pm (check your local listings)!

Some Of My Favorite Singers

2012-01-20T15:09:00.001-07:00

Nick Lachey - he still stands as the only male on my favorites list, but he definitely deserves his spot:

Jessica Simpson - coincidentally, his ex-wife also made the list. I don't like her as much as I used to (singing wise), but she used to be quite awesome (and still has a special place in my heart):

Rihanna - total hottie and can sing? Sign me up! I also just love her accent :):

Kelly Clarkson - the original "American Idol", and I also just love that she is herself:

Jennifer Love Hewitt - Yep, she made this list too :) (she has been my idol since i was 11):

Christina Aguilera - probably the most talented voice of my generation, and I have been a fan since MMC days:

Shanice - she has been my favorite singer since I was a kid, and I even got to meet her at 15:

Just like the blog before it (the bands), these aren't in order either.

Etta James Passes Away

2012-01-20T13:14:00.001-07:00

I am very sad to report that music legend (and role model/inspiration to many of today's biggest stars), Etta James, has passed away. She died from complications from leukemia, which she has had since 2010. Her biggest hit "At Last" has been played at many many weddings, and her songs have been covered by artists such as Christina Aguilera and Beyonce (Bey also played her in the movie, Cadillac Records). She is survived by her husband of over 40 years, and their two sons. Her manager had this to say: “This is a tremendous loss for the family, her friends and fans around the world. She was a true original who could sing it all – her music defied category.” - Lupe De Leon. James was 73 years old.

Resident Evil: Retribution (Official Trailer)

2012-01-20T13:02:00.000-07:00

The movie doesn't come to theaters until September 14th, but some people have waited a long time for this:

Pop Salad

2012-01-20T00:38:00.000-07:00

There is a hot new game right now, and I should warn you right now that it is very addicting! The name of the game is Pop Salad, and you buy and sell celebrities (kinda like stock). You can find the game here. If you do end up playing, look me up under "LillyTHF"

Some Of My Favorite Bands

2012-01-19T22:12:00.000-07:00

Lacuna Coil - I have been a fan since I first heard songs from the Comalies album, and I will be going to see them in concert next month!

The Corrs - I have been a fan since I first heard "Breathless" :)

TLC - I have absolutely loved them since their first album, and they are the best female group - ever! My favorite member is T-Boz.

Boomkat - I think everyone already knows that I am a Taryn Manning fan, so this one is a no brainer!

New Kids On The Block - they are the ones that started it all (my love and appreciation for music), and I still love them to this day!

Collective Soul - quite possibly my fave rock band of the 90s

None of these are in order, and I will do another blog at a later date that features my favorite singers

MegaUpload Shutdown

2012-01-19T21:03:00.000-07:00

I can't call myself a DJ, and not write about this story that is making headlines. Despite SOPA not even being passed yet (and hopefully, it doesn't get passed at all), the federal government is already shutting down sites that offer free downloads of media files. Their first victim was MegaUpload. For those not familiar, MegaUpload was a site where users could share large files like songs, videos, and games. It also happens to be run by Alicia Keys husband/producer, Swiss Beatz. Some of the executives have been arrested, but he has managed to keep himself out of trouble (so far). I am not going to sit here and promote downloading free music, but i think we all know that people do it.

The 2Gether Reunion

2012-01-18T14:44:00.000-07:00

After having chatter about it since November, it is finally official!

The parody boy band that MTV created in 2000 (that started in a movie, but ended up with 2 albums and a tv show) is making a comeback...as a foursome obviously. The 4 remaining members (Michael Cuccione passed away in 2001 after a long battle with cancer): Alex Solowitz (Mickey), Noah Bastian (Chad), Kevin Farley (Doug), and Evan Farmer (Jerry) have returned and are ready for the spotlight again. It has been said that they are making a mock documentary to show the story of how they reunited, and a new song is also on its way too. I can't wait! I have both of their albums, and I even own the (now hard to find) movie! You can catch up with the remaining members on Facebook and Twitter, or you can see Evan on CMT's Video Countdown! UPDATE: MTV gave them the go ahead to film the show, so hopefully it will end up being aired in the near future!

The Next "Bachelorette" Has Officially Been Announced

2012-01-18T10:45:00.000-07:00

I would first like to say that I don't even know why these two shows are still even on the air. The only successful relationship that has come from them in all these years has been Trista and Ryan. I guess it is just a guilty pleasure for some people. I would watch the shows if more successful relationships actually came from them.

Anyway, it was announced today that the next "Bachelorette" will be Emily Maynard (didn't see that coming - sarcasm). I do give ABC props though because she is probably the most attractive one they have had in awhile. This season will take place in her hometown of Charlotte, rather than Los Angeles, and they are set to start filming in March.

LL Cool J Ready To Host Music's Biggest Night

2012-01-18T10:34:00.000-07:00

LL Cool J has been announced as this year's Grammy host. The show hasn't had a host in 7 years, so this is a big deal. If you forgot who the nominees are, you can find them here. The show will air on February 12th!

Taylor Swift - Vogue Cover (February)

2012-01-18T05:09:00.000-07:00

Michelle Williams - GQ Cover

2012-01-18T02:00:00.000-07:00

For the rest of the pictures, pick up the latest issue - on newsstands now!

Brody & Avril Called It Quits

2012-01-17T02:08:00.001-07:00

I was going to wait to hear from Brody about this one, but multiple reports are enough for me:

Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne have broken up after nearly 2 years of dating. Some people saw the relationship as doomed from the start, but I had hope from the very beginning. I think Brody is a pretty cool guy, and they seemed happy, so that is all that should matter. You might remember them getting matching tattoos when they first got together (each other's names). If I do hear back from Brody, I will be sure to update you - I promise! I hope both of them find happiness elsewhere (although a reconciliation would be nice too).

UPDATE: Brody tweeted this earlier tonight: It really upsets me to read all the FALSE!! stories. Avril has always been there for me and is the closest person to my heart. I love her. Avril tweeted back that she loved him too - aww!

Shannon Lee Anti-Bullying Video

2012-01-16T02:18:00.000-07:00

You may remember her as the subject of one of my interviews, but this time she opens up on a more personal level:

Miss Wisconsin Is Crowned As Miss America 2012!

2012-01-15T12:13:00.000-07:00

Laura Kaeppeler is the new Miss America. She won the pageant crown, and the $50,000 prize. When asked whether pageant contestants should share their political beliefs, she had this to say: "Miss America represents everyone, so I think the message to political candidates is that they represent everyone as well. In these economic times, we need to be looking forward to what America needs, and I think Miss America needs to represent all.” Miss Oklahoma, Betty Thompson, was second, and Miss New York, Kaitlyn Monte, came in third. Her plans for her time with the crown are to mentor kids whose parents are in jail because her own father was in prison for 18 months due to mail fraud. Congratulations to her!

A Shot At Judaism

2012-01-13T23:15:00.002-07:00

So it seems that Tila Tequila is making headlines yet again, and this time it might not be for publicity. The former reality star told TMZ that she is in the process of becoming Jewish. She had this to say: "As time passed, I started to become more and more fascinated with Kabbalah, the culture, and the way of life of the reform Judaism religion. I feel Orthodox is a little hardcore for me at this stage. I just feel like the Jewish people have such a beautiful way about them, and I can't wait to officially be Jewish! Shabbat Shalom." She even skipped Christmas to focus on the change. If this is actually real (which would be a first for her), I do wish her the best of luck and all the happiness in the world. I used to love watching her show :).

Beverly Hills 90210 Feud

2012-01-13T18:08:00.000-07:00

They started dating while the show was still on the air, and they continued their relationship until 2003. They even had a kid together in 2002, but the honeymoon is over for 90210 stars Vanessa Marcil and Brian Austin Green. This is a story of he said/she said, and he has said that she owes him $200,000 from over a decade ago and has yet to pay up. The short version of this story is that he is suing her for the amount owed. They have both gotten married since their break up (him to Megan Fox, of course and her to some CSI guy). Anyway, they do share custody of their 9 year old son, Kassius. I hope they work this out soon, and preferably without a big mess/media attention.

New Idol Alumni Couple Alert!

2012-01-13T03:15:00.000-07:00

Except not so new....

So Ace Young and Diana Degarmo finally decided to tell the world that they have been happily together for the past 2 years! You may know them both from American Idol (different seasons), but they actually met on Broadway. They have been living together for awhile now, and they just recently started a new band together. It will be interesting to hear how they mix their sounds. I wish them the very best!

PS: I voted for Diana during her season!
PPS: Speaking of AI couples, I loved David Cook and Kimberly Caldwell!

Natalee Holloway Declared Dead

2012-01-13T03:07:00.000-07:00

It has been 7 years since that now famous senior trip to Aruba, and an Alabama judge decided that was long enough. Natalee Holloway was declared dead today at the request of her father. He said in 7 years there was no proof that she was alive, and the investigation hasn't had any new leads. Although he has a very good point, there hasn't been any solid proof that she is dead either. A "confession" from her alleged murderer who has changed his story so many times, I can't even keep it straight. There hasn't been a body found in all these years, but I do agree that she is dead, and I do think (without a doubt) that Joran Van Der Sloot is the one responsible. He may have killed her on purpose, or it was an accident, but he is guilty either way. I am glad he will be getting justice for his killing in Peru.

My 5 Favorite Movie Musicals From The Past Decade

2012-01-12T12:37:00.000-07:00

5. Footloose (2011) - The original came out when I was a little kid, and it was great (the theme song is still my favorite song from a movie - ever). The remake just didn't compare...neither did the song:
4. Fame (2009) - I actually liked it better than the first one, and so did my Mom :)
<br>3
3. Rent (2005) - I remember being so excited when this movie had come out because I had never seen the musical before. I thought it was well worth the wait! 2. High School Musical (2006) - I was in my 20s when this movie came out, and I honestly only wanted to see it cause of Ashley Tisdale (and I am a sucker for musicals), but I ended up really loving it. It spawned off two sequels and started a phenomenon. It also kicked off the careers of a lot of young stars: 1. Burlesque (2010) - What makes a good musical? Great singers? Great actors? Great songs? This one has all three!

My Favorite Actresses

2012-01-10T02:11:00.000-07:00

Here is a list of my fave actresses - I will most likely see their movies in the theater the week they come out (or if its direct-to-DVD I will pre-order that shit):

5. Hilary Swank - I liked her even before "Boys Don't Cry", and have loved her ever since:

4. Sandra Bullock - she first got my attention in "Speed", and I have been a big fan ever since:

3. Reese Witherspoon - "Legally Blonde" is STILL one of my faves!

2. Rachel McAdams - the rest of the world might've been introduced to her in 'Mean Girls", but I first saw her in "The Hot Chick". There was no going back after that!

1. Jennifer Love Hewitt - she has been my idol/role model since I was a kid, and has kept me out of trouble too (like a big sister). I am also a fan of her music :)

My Favorite Actors

2012-01-10T01:36:00.001-07:00

Some of these I have liked for a really long time, and some of them are newbies, but ALL of them deserve a spot on this list based on TALENT (and maybe looks too?):

5. Channing Tatum & Vin Diesel (goes back and forth)

4. Ben Affleck - I have loved most of his movies, and he seems like a really nice guy too!

3. Mark Wahlberg - I have seen almost all of his movies, and have been a fan since MM days!

2. Adam Sandler - I think he is one of the funniest comedians of our time!

1. Will Smith - I can't say enough good things. I love his movies, music, etc

Artist Spotlight - January

2012-01-10T00:52:00.000-07:00

Here are 3 of my favorite "lesser known" singers (make sure you tell them Lilly sent you!):

1. Alana Grace (now known as the lead singer of the rock band, TOY) - you can find her on Twitter @officialtoy, or look for her on Facebook as Alana Grace.

2. Stacy Clark (also known as the subject of my very first interview) - you can find her on Twitter @stacyclark, and she is also on Facebook and YouTube!

3. Erika Fatale (I have done an interview with her also) - you can find her on Twitter @ErikaFatale, and she is also on Facebook and YouTube!

***I would also like to add that Erika was number 1 on this year's Top 50 Countdown, but all of these ladies have made the list at some point (some more than others)***

TLC Biopic

2012-01-09T11:51:00.002-07:00

I was very excited when I heard this news because TLC is my favorite group - ever. VH1 is creating a biopic based on the group. It will be the first of a few music based movies. The news was announced a couple of months ago, but the remaining members of TLC (Chilli and T-Boz) will be consultants and executive producers, and it will tell the story of group formation, and behind the scenes stories. I can't think of a better way to kick off this series of movies! It will be nice for us, the fans, to get the real story, and get to see Left-Eye again (kind of). I am sure she would be very proud. It has been 10 years since her untimely death, so this is actually really good timing.

Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

2012-01-01T14:03:00.000-07:00

Going into the movie, I had heard that it was even better than the first one....I don't agree. One thing they both had in common was that they were funny, had plenty of action, and were hard to follow at some parts. I don't think this movie had enough Rachel McAdams, but I did like it for the most part. Once again Holmes and Watson get into a sticky situation, and they need to solve the case to get out of it. I didn't think the villain was as believable this time around - I mean, as a villain. He was definitely evil, but his "main job" just made it really stupid. I give this movie 3.5 out of 5.

Russell Brand and Katy Perry Say IT'S OVER!

2011-12-31T09:17:00.003-07:00

I have been waiting to post this blog for about a year now. Now although celebrity weddings have seemed to become a joke over the years, I really did not see this one lasting as long as it did. I mean she dated Travie McCoy for like 3 years, and they didn't get married; then she meets Russell Brand at an event, and suddenly they are engaged and meant to be? Sorry, but I just don't buy into that. I think she was big at the time (still is), and he used her to help his career here in the USA. I said from the very beginning that they were doomed, and as soon as they stopped wearing their rings, I knew it was true, and only a matter of time before it was officially announced. I do hope that they both find happiness elsewhere, and don't let this discourage them in future relationships. And to Katy: If you ever want to kiss a girl and REALLY like it, give me a call ;).

Taylor Lautner is NOT Gay!

2011-12-26T20:39:00.000-07:00

Although it would please me to have another big celebrity come out of the closet, this time it just isn't the case. Below is a fake People Magazine cover that has been circulating the internet. Unfortunately for you gay boys out there (and I mean no disrespect), it is 100% FAKE! I am curious now what next week's cover story really is.

Jackie Magazine Vs Rihanna

2011-12-20T20:20:00.001-07:00

So, I don't know if Rihanna did something to piss this lady off or what, but a writer for Jackie Magazine wrote a very unflattering article about my favorite Bajan beauty. They not only called her an nword bitch and said her backside was "ghetto", but they also mistakenly stated that she was from Jamaica. The editor took to Facebook to write a less than half ass attempt at an apology, but Rihanna wasn't buying it. In fact, she had this to say as a reply: "I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights! I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000′s of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race! That’s your contribution to this world! To encourage segregation, to mislead the future leaders to act in the past! You put two words together with the intent of abasement, that made no sense…”NIGGA BITCH”?!….Well with all respect, on behalf of my race, here are my two words for you…FUCK YOU!!!” Her reply must've gotten through to their editor because she has resigned from her editorial duties. I am very proud of Rihanna, and very disappointed that someone like that calls themselves a writer. That is a disgrace to the rest of us!

UPDATE: The publisher of the magazine has not only retracted their apology, but has also stated that there was nothing wrong with what was said in the article...WTF
