C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R

gidget: Who would have known that this past weekend would be as great as the weekend before last?! It all started with me wanting to watch Grease 2. I only had a old VHS copy that was sorta broken. I had to rent it, too bad that no video store in my neighbourhood had the film. How could this be?! It is a classic. Stupid Ottawa - Ruining my Life! Feeling defeated, Jem and I braved the weather to attempt to find a movie to rent that might be able to match the awesomeness of Grease 2 and Breakin'. Yes, I know, it seems like we set ourselves out for disappointment. While scanning the dvd titles and covers I suddenly came upon the glory of 'Roller Boogie'. I was sold, but decided to still read the back cover, and do you know what it said? The movie was "Love on Wheels". Showed Jem the movie and we rented it. OMG! It was one of the best movies everrrrr!!!!!!!! Linda Blair rollerskating. Amazing. Any movie that features the song "Boogie Wonderland" is awesome, but this movie features rollerskating and love. Two things that obviously go together. The film came out in 1979 and stars Linda Blair and Ray Bray. Ray was originally cast to be a stuntman for the film as he had won over 270 rollerskating trophies. The producers could not find the perfect lead and Ray was cast as Bobby James the rollerskating hottie (Come on, you can already tell it is amazing by the simple fact that the leads name is Bobby James). Originally David Kennedy was cast in the lead. But, here's the gossip, Blair and Kennedy had an off-screen romance and had broken-up. Kennedy was then canned from the film!Good thing, Ray Bray is soooooo good. Seriously, i have fallen in mad crush mode with this movie!
You would think that would be enough to make the best weekend ever, but oh no, it gets better. Jem and I could not give up on our dream of watching Grease 2 before January was over. So, we were on a quest. I will spare you all the details, but there were judgy wudgy looks, and people attempting to tell us the masterpiece was not on dvd. But, we knew otherwise and trakced down a copy for sale. That's right, we spent Sunday afternoon listening to such classic tracks as "Lets Bowl", "C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R", and "Reproduction". "We're gonna scooore tonight. we're gonna rock, we're gonna roll, we're gonna bop, we're gonna BOWL". It was perfect.
Now all I have to do is find my own c-o-o-l r-i-d-e-r who rollerskates and fights crime! That's not asking too much, is it?

Jem: Hee hee! Just seeing the pics from "Roller Boogie" is making me grin like an idiot. I've told every single person I know about "Roller Boogie" and it's amazing awesomeness. To quote Gidget, "It's the absolute ultimate!"

Our movie quest this weekend was an arduous task but the juice was defnitely worth the squeeze.

I didn't know that such greatness could even exist on film. It was pure fun, fun, fun! And fun movies are, apparently, impossible to find in Ottawa! And, if you're looking for a fun movie and decide to ask someone to recommend something to you, be prepared for a suggestion so out of left field, it leaves you speechless.

Why don't you, dear reader, ask Gidget and I for some movie suggestions? Like, if it's a first date, or a girl's night, or if you just broke up with your boyfriend. Or, if you want to lose your virginity and learn how to surf but people tell you that girls CAN'T surf...what movie do you watch? Well, Gidget and Jem have the answer!

p.s. Grease 2 was sooo great! I have always loved it, but I forgot how much I loved it! It is such a great movie! And it works, in spite of itself!

I need a C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R!

Dress You Up!
gidget: Here is a sneak peak at Madonna's M by Madonna clothing line for H&M. It looks amazing. The glasses, the bag, the coat...i want it all. I don't even shop at H&M, but I think I will purchase some M by Madonna.
I love the glasses, and how they make an M on the side. I am fairly certain I would look like a fool in them, but I am going to try them out when the line is released into stores. You never know, maybe they will look brilliant on me.

Time Goes By So Slowly
gidget: In 6 days Madonna's Confessions Tour dvd and live cd will be released! So excited. I know that I have watched the NBC special over and over again, but now I get to see the whole show, from start to finish, again. Luckystar! I can not wait to see Luckystar again. Stupid NBC cutting out Luckystar. Here is a trailor for the dvd.

i heart cloud!

We Don't Need Another Hero......or do we?

gidget: Monday night has got to be the best tv night of the week. Thanks to Global I can watch Prison Break, Heroes, and 24. I wasn't into Prison Break last season, but I did get caught up in the Season Premiere. Heroes had a pretty good start. Neither one comes close to the 24 Season openers. I didn't even like 24 before, but when Keifer goes all lost boys and kills a dude by biting him in the neck, you know I am sold. Plus, 24 has the incredibly handsome Alexander Siddig this season. How can I not watch? I love how Monday night is all about super action, and heroes out to save the world. Maybe Tina Turner was wrong and we do need another hero or two. Especially when they look like Milo Ventimiglia (peter on heroes. Also from gilmour girls fame, but i don't watch that show) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (mohinder suresh on heroes). Ofcourse no hero comes close to the power of bauer on 24, but i don't think Keifer is that cute. I know a lot of people do, just not me. I can see why people think he is cute when he is out to save the world every monday night.

You Got To Break It to Make It!
gidget: Ugh. Sometimes i hate celebrities. Cameron Diaz has been seen spending a lot of time with Surf legend Kelly Slater. She is even lucky enough to have private surf lessons. Must be nice. Hmmm... i need some surf lessons. I know i will wear my smallest bikini and call up Kelly Slater. I am sure he has some great tips to share! At least Cameron is spending time with a man that is her age. Not that i'm all 'you can only date people that are roughly the same age as you'.
Justin is currently attending the Sundance film festival. He was also seen hanging out with his mom after one of his shows in Las Vegas. That's pretty sweet. Moms are awesome.

Electric Boogaloogidget: this weekend Jem and I had a film fest that included Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Ahhh, memories. I loved those movies when i was a little kid, and still love them today! So good. Shabba Doo ( who plays Ozone) is one of the original lockers. And, he was a dancer and choreographer for Madonna during her Who's That Girl tour. Ice Tea is also amazing in Breakin' and Breakin'2.

And The Winner Is.....drumroll

gidget: Every celebrity break-up has a winner and a loser. One person comes out winning the hearts of the public, and a little sympathy. The other person either seems crazy, or like a jerk, maybe both. Well, it seems that the gossipers would like to make out Cameron Diaz out as the loser in the Timberlake/Diaz break-up. It seems that Cameron is a little bit of a jealous girl. At a Golden Globes after party she was reportedly seen freakin' out on Jessica Biel after she saw JT flirting with the former 7th heaven actress. Why Cameron decided to flip out on Biel is beyond me. Biel is still linked with Derek Jeter. Plus, JT would flirt with a brickwall, he's a former boy band member, they are bred to do that. That's why i don't know if i buy the story. It is also being reported that Ms. Diaz and Mr. Timberlake had an unpleasant exchange of words at Prince's Golden Globes afterparty. I still believe Justin and Cameron broke-up 'cause Cameron never wants to get married. Yes, i know that is reportedly that Cameron and JT brok-up 'cause Jt cast scarlett johansson in his next video and Diaz hates her. Please, that's not a real reason. Ah who cares, Justin ain't even that cute anymore. T.I is the gorgeous one!
Do yourself a favor and watch the Justin 'My Love' video. skip to the T.I. part.

Jem: I totally know what you mean, Gidget! Justin is sooo not cute anymore. What is up with that? I didn't realize how not cute he is until I saw an old JT video. "Like I love you". He looked so super cute in that one. Now, he looks like he's been living life...hard! My guess is that he's been doing a lot of drugs and drinking...trying to keep up with Pharell and Three Six Mafia.

Justin looks like someone's Grandpa.

And he and Cameron totally broke up because he wants to get married and she doesn't. It's completely obvious.

Ultimate Kylie!

gidget: For Christmas a certain Bff got me the Ultimate Kylie dvd. Not only is it amazing because it has all of Kylie's videos on it, it also features on-screen lyrics. The lyrics do not only show-up on screen like subtitles, they light up like a karaoke video.

That's right, it's a Kylie karaoke party! Everyone should realize that this is wicked awesome. Unless you are one of those people who does not 'Do' karaoke. Maybe you will go out for karaoke when your friends go and just sit there. You don't cheer, or sing along. You never take the mic yourself. You refuse to play karaoke revolution. If that is the case you must be related to Victoria Beckhman and be part robot.

Fun. what is fun?

Fun does not compute.
I will just stand here and look
bored. I will try to smile.

Kylie is also going to release a dvd and cd of her Homecoming tour. The dvd is going to feature the night when surprise guest Bono joined kylie on stage. They are singing the song Kids.Love the cat outfit! meow. While I love that bono joined kylie onstage, a part of my heart wishes Robbie did. Robbie is just too cute. Mmm...and a great voice. Who doesn't like Robbie? Even just a little bit. He's adorable in a 'i'm silly' sorta way. Whatever. I am not going to argue resons why Robbie is great. What?! I like his music too. Yeah, that's right, even that super cheese song 'Angels'. Maybe I sing it in the car really loud and offkey. Love it.

The Rules

Jem: Okay! I don't know how it's possible, but there are some people out there who don't know how to play the celebrity husband game. How have they lived their lives up to this point?

I guess it makes sense that the rules would vary but Gidget and I have perfected the game and honed the rules over the course of our friendship.

1. Rule#1: Celebrities must be alive. This allows the players of the game to entertain fantasies of ACTUALLY being married to their desired celeb. Besides, who wants to be married to, or date, a dead person? True, there have been many, many dreamy men throughout history but who could pick among them? Rule #1 allows the players of the game to pick a guy without getting completely overwhelmed.

Rule# 2: Celebrities must be single. Again, this helps with the weeding out of cute celebs. Also, it allows players of the game to feel as though if they were to meet their intendeds, nothing would stand in their way. This rule can often be difficult to accept. My heart has been broken at least six times because of the aforementioned rule, but what is life (or games) without rules to which we must all adhere.

Dating does not count as married. Neither does engaged.

In cases where you don't know if your celebrity husband is married or not, ignorance is bliss. It's better not to know. If you don't know, he's not married.

*note* I pick such yummy, nice boys as my hubbies, that they are quick to settle down.

Rule# 3: When your celeb gets married, you must move on. See Rule# 2.

Rule#4: You cannot be married to the same celeb as your BFF. Much like real life, there is an all-important code that must be lived up to. You can't date the same guy as your BFF, you can't marry the same guy as your BFF (fantasy or not).

This does not mean that if some random girl, or a friend of a friend, likes your man, that he is no longer your man. You are under no obligation to random girls. He is YOUR man! If one of your friends liked a celeb before you even thought he was cute, back off and go find your own husband! Being the other woman is never nice!

Rule# 5: Don't be afraid to dump your husband if he does, or says, something you don't like. Unlike real husbands, celebs can be changed as often as your socks, if you like.

Dreamy McDreamerson

Jem: I'd like to introduce you to my celebrity husband, Richard Armitage.

I think I'm in love with him. I certainly love the character he plays in North and South, Mr. Thornton. But, I've seen him in interviews, too!

He makes me sad that I live in Canada and not in England. It seems unlikely that I'll bump into him at the Parliament buildings one afternoon, doesn't it?

He's 35, never been married, and GORGEOUS!!!! And, he did a reading on a BBC kids show...so cute!

I just love his beautiful face, and kissable lips, and accent.

I guess I just think that version of Richard Armitage that exists in my mind and myself would make a great couple. He seems really funny and sweet but not too silly. He could definitely handle ME being silly, which is key! All the interviews I've seen of Rich have just made me swoon with delight.

Ok, I'm starting to get a bit embarrassed by freely admitting how much I'm crushing on this guy. But, I guess I should feel good about the anonymity of the internet.

*Ahem* If you, dear reader, happen to be Richard Armitage, and are not completely freaked out by this post, then send me a message. And, if you think I'm crazy, you should see this video of you on MySpace...now THAT girl should be embarrassed. I'm just sorry I didn't think of it first!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYOIauOw_jM

Ok, well, that was my love letter to Richard. Feel free to comment and tell Gidget and myself about YOUR celebrity husband or boyfriend...you know you have one.

gidget: Celebrity bf's, how i love them. I know a girl who has celebrity bf's that are dead academics. Like, an academc isn't even a celebrity(well, i guess some of them are. But they are more a quasi-celebrity). Now that is weird.

Yumm Me!

gidget: Roar, Daniel Craig is foxy in a photo from Italian Vanity Fair. Love the scruffy face.

Oh, time for some gossip! Jason from Laguna/The Hills fame is dating Nicki from Laguna season 3. Why would anyone date jason? Hmm...actually Jason and nicki make sense.

He is so not cute! I don't get it.





In more Laguna gossip, Talan is said to be dating the main pussycat doll. Ok, that picture to the right could be of anyone. I will have to see more evidence to believe that. Then again, he was linked with Lindsay Lohan, for like, a day. But who hasn't been linked with L. Lo.

Jem: Holy crap! Daniel Craig is ridiculously HOT! In that pic, Gidge! Mommy likes!

As for the Laguna gossip, I can't believe that girls continue to date Jason but, girls are kind of dumb when it comes to boys. They're convinced that, despite all the shitty things they have done to girls in the past, that with them, it'll be different. So naive.

And, you're right about that picture being of anyone because I thought it was Nicki, not Nicole from PCD. Did you know that she's going solo (like she wasn't already solo)? and that they're having a reality show to find a new Pussycat Doll? Gawd, they're a stupid group of strippers!

You know what my dad thought about that "Buttons" video: he said that if they had shown stuff like that when he was a kid, he would have gone around raping girls. Gross, I know! But it makes you think!

I'm not saying that I think girls who dress skankily deserve to be raped or even put-down (my dad's not saying that, either). But does dressing that way actually make you a liberated woman? I certainly don't know because I've never dressed like a PussyCat Doll in my life.

Know who I liked in Laguna 3? (Besides Jessica) Rocky and Alex. I thought it was sweet how they got back together. And, let's face it, their relationship was the most realistic. In fact, I just heard a story about how this guy broke up with his gf (he said it was mutual but come on!) because she was crazy. He recently went to the bar and she was there with another guy. He called her a slut behind her back. Un-freakin-believable!

Speaking of Jessica, Let’s Go Travel Guides hired her to be a spokesperson. She went to London, Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin in March 2006, and posted daily entries and photos on her blog at http://www.letsgojessica.com. How lucky is she?

Also, did you know that Kyndra didn't even go to LBHS during Season 3? They neglected to mention that she was home-schooled. No wonder she was a tad weird.

gidget: my travel blog would be a million times better than Jessica's. I would also have better photos, and show pictures of all the cute boys. Let's go travel should hire me. damn, i am not a c-list celebrity. they should still hire me. i still love jessica!

Sing It Baby!
gidget: Prince is going to be the performer for the Superbowl Halftime show. Check out this ad! It is going to be AMAZING 'cause Prince always is.



I heart Prince!

Hollah!

Jem: This is a special shout-out version of the blog for Scotty! I saw Scott for the first time in three years over the Christmas holidays and he promised that he would check out our blog. I hope he likes it because his blog is a shining beacon of greatness to which I compare all blogs!

Check out Scott's blog...it's all about his world travels and his work with children...and all the cute boys he meets along the way.

gidget: Muchos love for the blog. I started to read it, and now i am super duper excited about going to prague! Cute boys are cute!
