Oscar Fashion
gidget: Oh wait, i have nothing to say about it. Boring dresses. Muted colors. Way too many single strap dresses. The past couple of years people have been playing it too safe when it comes to Oscar fashions. Very boring. The Oscars themselves were not too thrilling either. Although, the musical number by Will, Jack, and John was brilliant. Highlight of the evening for sure. Gossip is circulating that when Eddie Murphy lost to Alan Alder he left the oscars. Yeah, he didn't even stay to see his co-stars sing their boring musical numbers, or Jennifer Hudson win her Oscar. Dude, Arkin is way older than you and they had to give it to him before he died. Well...i guess they really should have given it to Peter O'toole then 'cause i pretty sure he rose from the dead just to be at the ceremony. Either way, don't be such a baby a**hole.

The Independent Spirit Awards also happened this past weekend. No surprises there, Little Miss Sunshine cleaned up. Ok, since the independent spirit awards are suppose to celebrate independent film, experimentation, pushing boundaries blah blah blah, they really are boring. It's never a surprise who gets nominated or wins at them. Highlight of the ISA may well be how cute Michelle Williams looked. Great new Mia Farrow haircut and dress to match. Now i am no fan of ms.williams. Didn't like Dawsons Creek, but did love the movie Dick. Never really thought Ms.Williams had great fashion sense or anything. You know, basically forgot she existed. Anyway, she looked amazing. I just love the haircut on her, and her make-up looks amazing. And the award for best look from last weekend goes to Michelle Williams. Too bad Heath looks horrible. then again not all celebrity couples can be like Will and Jada. Man, those two always look great together.

Boy of the Month
gidget: i have a mad crush on gerard way of My Chemical Romance. How can I not? He is so very dramatic when he performs. The Black parade is so theatrical, and I love musicals, so ofcourse i fell in love with the album. Also, the album features a cameo by Liza Minnelli. Obviously Gerard has an appreciation for the history of musicals. Plus, he has the cutest nose i have ever seen. Yeah that's right, his nose is adorable. He also has crazy cute eyes. Hehehe....i sound like Bop magazine. It's funny 'cause he reminds me of the sort of boy i would have been crushing on when i was 15. I guess my taste hasn't changed as much as I thought it had. It's all good though 'cause Gerard is older than me. Do you want to know a couple of other reasons why gerard is one of my celebrity bf's? Well, in all the interviews i have seen and read he is fairly humble about his fame. He is also very sweet and respectful to his fans. Okay, i know, that is during interviews, but still most "rock stars" are jerks during interviews and act like giant prima donnas. Also, tons of people say he is rather shy off stage, and just full of energy when he performs. I have always had a weakness for boys who are shy face to face, but are crazy dramatic on stage. And yes, i did like his long hair better, but i still think he is cute with short hair. i am just a sucker for long hair, something else i guess i have not grown out of since high school. Plus, everyone needs to change their hair from time to time. i also looovvvee how he cut and dyed his hair to get into charcter for the album. what a drama geek. How sweet does he look to the left on the set of the Ghost Of You video?
So, i got tickets for jem and i to see MCR in may. Woot woot. i am very excited. i really love their new album, and i love shows that are full of energy, and the audience can not help but sing along. i am predicting a very fun trip for jem and i (yeah, that's right, jem and i are going on a mini roadtrip to see them. roadtrips are awesome, so it will be super duper fun). i am so excited about it that i composed a whole post about how great i think gerard is. i am such a geek. But at least i am not one of those people who claims to hate mcr, but secretly loves them. They just think they are too cool to like mcr. sorry hipsters, you can not be too cool for mcr, that's just ridonckulous. Helena is only one the best videos ever. how can you be cooler than that?!

Post-partum blues?

Jem: Poor Britney. It seems she's the most recent on the very long list of starlets who've checked themselves into rehab. I'm sure her mom had something to do with that. I've been talking to Gidget for a little while pondering whether or not Britney and her mom were talking. Her mom always seemed to be a good manager. Well, except for the whole I'm-portraying-my-fifteen-year-old-as-a-skank thing. Then again, that was when Britney was at her most successful.

You know, she's been doing all this wacky shit for so long, and I never even considered that she was on something. I just sort of figured that she had a few screws loose.

Some people feel that her shaving her head was an act of self-mutilation. Others feel that she's suffering from post-partum depression.

I hope she finds the help she needs.

gidget: too bad she has already left the rehab facility she checked herself into.

Wiggin' out
gidget: i didn't take britney long to regret her hair decision. Too bad she couldn't find a nicer wig. I am a little disappointed. I was looking forward to britney showing off her bald head with pride. You know, a real f*** you to the whole beauty myth. i like the string of pearls, keeping it classy.

Jem: Ha ha ha...I can keep silent on this no longer!!! I just don't understand Britney's behaviour. Especially since she'll be going to court over custody of her kids pretty soon. Maybe it's because I live in the real world that I don't think clubbin' it up without panties makes you a fit mother.

As for the whole shaving her head debaucle, it proves a few things:

1) Britney is still desperate for attention (which, she is getting but none of it is positive);

2) Her hotness was due to the fact that she had long, blonde hair (a favourite amongst the boys); and,

3) She's an emotional wreck!!!

It is too bad that she can't just embrace her decisions (good or bad) . It shows that she really has very little self-esteem. I wonder if she's wearing that wig because her moms totally bawled her out. I heard that she said to the hairdresser who refused to shave her head that her mom was going to be upset. I heard an interview with that hairdresser; it was pretty good. She said that she made sure that Brit's bodyguards knew that she was NOT responsible for shaving Britney's head. Like, what would they do to her? Break her thumbs?
gidget: I still wish she would have worn her bald head with pride.

Bald like an eagle, baby
gidget: what is there to say? i mean, i don't really care about Britney or what she does, but this is an interesting grab for attention. Reportedly, britney went to a salon to get her hair shaved. The stylist refused thinking Britney would regret the decision. Britney then took the shaver and did the deed her self. She followed her day at the salon with a visit to a tattoo parlor to get inked. Now the tattoo artist is claiming that Britney was rather emotional during the tattoo, wiggling and making it difficult to tattoo her. Well, that could just be 'cause getting a tattoo can hurt. But the hair, the hair.
Many of us have thought about shaving our heads, and there is nothing wrong with it. Bald is beautiful just like hair is beautiful. You know, individual beauty and all that jazz. But it just seems britney does things without thinking about them (hello, marriage in Vegas) like a teenager. The stunt reminds me of something a 16/17 year old would do. Then again, maybe she watched V for Vendetta and was really inspired By Natalie Portman. Or, maybe she just watch Empire Records, or was listening to Sinead O'Connor. See beautiful bald women are everywhere. I wonder what er tattoo's are of. Perhaps more fairies. Oh, such a classic design.

Sharon Stone is crazy

gidget: Ummm..she is really odd. She makes me uncomfortable. I am afraid she is going to call balls out mad one day. Like, start attacking people or something. Just yesterday someone was telling me how much they admire Sharon Stone because she is so intelligent. Ummm, ok, good luck with that admiration.There is also footage of her calling Richard Gere an a**hole while he is playing piano at the end of the auction. Oh yeah, and this auction is for peace y'all.

Two Posts in one day, scandalous
gidget: in line at grocery store and saw this cover staring at me between Soap Opera Weekly and US weekly. just had to share the loveliness!

This is not about Justin!
gidget: I have been thinking about the grammys, and that competition to sing with Justin Timberlake. I have to say that it is a crazy cool idea. But, here are the problems with it...or, better yet, how it could have been better: 1. The contest should have only been for Justin fans. Like, people who are in his fanclub. Come on, no one deserves to sing with Justin more than a real fan. 2. No American Idol wannabes. We already have American Idol, why does there have to be a grammy edition? Wait, aren't the grammys already american idolified? Freakin' Carrie Undewood was on. Enough said. 3. This ties in with two, look for people who have unique, interesting voices. talent that American Idol would pass on. Still, props to the girl that won. It must have been incredible for her. And props to the other two losers. Not that i think they are losers, but you can only have one number 1. two would make 11. You can check the gammy performance here


T.I. looks amazing!

In other news, Robbie Williams has entered rehab for dependency on prescription drugs. Poor robbie. i hope he feels better soon. He has been battling depression for some time, and has openly discussed it on the BBC. it makes me sad that robbie is sad, he seems like a sweetheart deep down. that's not really based on anyhing, i just like to think that he is a sweetheart.

It will be mine. Oh, it will be mine.
gidget: sweet baby jeebus. M by Madonna for H&M is going to make me flat broke. Broke i tells ya. I must have this dress! I just must. I am in love.

Brilliant! Bloody Brilliant!

gidget: this is so hilarious. Verizon and Rolling Stone threw some sort of bash for JT in L.A. I suppose it was a preGrammy shindig. Boring right? Oh no, someone let Kevin Federline into the party. And it gets better, K Fed went up to Justin on the Red Carpet and gave him a hug. I am sure it was to congratulate Justin on his successes and such. Props to Kevin for not only going to the party, but forcing Justin to give him a manhug on the red carpet. Brilliant.
Look at Justin's face. Hehehe..it gets better....
go kevin and Jt, sharing the love.
major props to the photographer who captured these amazing moments on the red carpet.

This would seem to be enough humour for one day, but it gets better. The Directors Cut of JT's new vid with ScarJo. OMG! It is horrid. Just horrid. So cheesy, but trying desperatly to be serious. Justin, you can not act. you just can't. Also shows off the amazing lack of acting talent scarjo has. I can see why he cast her, if he had someone opposite him that could act it would be too obvious as to how pathetic the whole attempt at 'art' the video is. It's so bad. watch for yourself. You know, he had it right with Cry Me A River, and it just has never been as good since.

p.s. remind me to stop posting so much about Justin. it' s slightly ridiculous on my part.

Rest In Peace Anna Nicole Smith!
gidget: i have to admit that when i heard the news about Anna Nicole's passing yesterday it made me sad. Poor Anna, the last couple of months seemed to have been so hard for her.
rest in peace anna nicole.

Jem: I feel the same way, Gidget. I mean, her son just died right after having another baby. And then, all these guys were claiming to be the father. She was struggling with court battles and bad press. I think ANS probably had a really sad, sad life.

Now there's probably going to be a huge battle over who gets all her money.

I can't believe how much CNN is covering it. Get a life CNN, you smell!

gidget: So, JT is a busy boy. As everyone on earth knows, JT and Jessica B. were said to have hooked up at The Sundance Festival. Some gossipers are now claiming that JT is juggling Jessica B. and Alyssia 'who's the boss' Milano. Now it is being speculated that he is still spending time with Scar Jo. Now, this just might be imagination running wild, or JT is loving the single life. Makes you wonder if JT did cheat on Cameron and that is why they broke up. Having recently seen JT in concert I can honestly say maybe the boy should be spending more time on putting on a great show as oppposed to a "meh, it was good i guess" show. Yeah, that's right, you ain't king of nothing JT. Oh, and if you would stop acting (in films that is) that would be great!

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.
