VMAs

Although the rumors about Gwen Stefani boycotting the VMA this year are apparently false...I still boycotted watching them live last night, just to support Gwen in rumor spirit. So Instead of supporting MTV with ratings on the spot I took advantage of their long overdue MTV Overdrive: Video on Demand...which finally works on Macs and in Firefox. Woohoo. It's the future of television...watch what you want, when you want...get with the program people. God I sound like a cheesy promoter. But honestly, broadcast television is so passe.

First of all Kelly Clarkson took home the Best Female video award, again. The f@cking nerve! Up against Nelly Furtado, Shakira, Madge and Christina...I loved all those videos(well not exactly Nelly Furtado's cos I don't like her sluttying it up...but that's a whole 'nother side conversation) esp. Shakira's because it was directed by Sophie Muller, the greatest female music video director of all time, and her portrayal of females amazing and righteous. Not to mention, I love Christina's new sound and old fashion glam and Hung Up was a long over due anthem by Madonna. Kelly Clarkson is now on the top of my sh#t list. And i'm not even going to put a picture up for her.

Justin Timberlake can dance...Britney you should feel very unlucky right now because you wound up with a white cracker crapper for a dancer, singer, and soon to be attempted actor. Was so glad Beyonce performed "Ring the Alarm," write that down James Montgomery(He wrote an article summary about the VMAs on the MTV site), "Ring the Alarm" not "Sound the Alarm." If I worked for MTV as a writer, I would not make such a mistake....get it right the first time. Note to Beyonce, totally supporting your anger here if Rihanna is getting all over your man..but there is a fine line between graceful jealousy(ie Gwen Stefani & Madonna) and insane jealousy(ie "I hate you so much right now" Kelis)so just watch yourself. Find a Carrie Bradshaw middle ground. We're all rooting for you. Especially when it comes to younger thinner little b@tchs moving in on your territory. Watch some Sex and the City and do some pilates.



P.S. Gideon Yago is so overrated now...I was surprised to see him still with MTV. Kurt Loder and Matt Pinfield are 10 times the music man you are. I'm glad I got over that obsession...I will post those old skool photos I took of him during our two choice encounters in a later post.

Lily Allen performing at Hiro Ballroom 10/10

Ok, I wanted to have a heart attack when I heard that Lily Allen was coming to NYC. But I'll for sure be having a heart attack if i can't get tickets. I will do a flash web page for free if someone could get me a ticket. Cos it's Lily frickin' Allen! Even if I have class, i'm skipping it for Lily frickin' Allen. I need to see her before she gets massive in the US, or else I'll just complain about it like when it happened to Muse. Now who wants to go with me?

Internships

So apparently I'm not very good at giving a pitch for an internship. If anyone has had success at getting any internship, please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I've taken numerous approaches, but gotten nada. I did get a position offered to me four years ago, when I had absolutely no experience what-so-ever. That doesn't quite make sense to me to get a internship when you have no experience, but now that I have more experience in two different fields, I get lies and and awkward "sorry, we're fully staffed" emails. This is getting very depressing.

Elevator courtesy and deodorant

Many people don't have common courtesy especially on elevators in my building. So if you take the elevator which services over 38 floors...please follow these rules

1. if you are taking it up or down 2-3 floors...you should really use stairs, definitely if there are two or more people in the elevator.
2. If you are pregnant, with children, eldery, have a cane or gout, you are allowed to break rule #1. But if you are a seemingly normal person, stop being lazy and take the stairs! You could use a little exercise anyway!
3.If you don't know where the stairs are(especially the stairs that go all the way down to the 1st floor), ask, because one day there will be a fire and you will die!

Also a helpful hygiene suggestion to all...if you do not wear deodorant/anti-perspirant, esp. during the summer months...start using some. You do smell, and we all smell it, and it smells nasty! If you can't afford deodorant, rubbing baking soda under the arm pits also works. Feel free to tell your friends or buy them deodorant as an early/later birthday gift.

Clooney and Crow

Know who should get together and have babies? George Clooney and Sheryl Crow! Hello! How come that hasn't been set up yet?

Clooney definately wants kids since he's feeling left out of the Father's Club on the Oceans 13 set, and Crow obviously wants kids of her own since Armstrong couldn't provide that for her (in more ways than one, I think). Plus they're goregous on their own, and should be even more goregous together. And both seem pretty liberal and seem to share the same mindset, what's not so perfect?

Start sharing this much needed hookup suggestion with everyone you know and hopefully when it happens we can all say, she told you so(she being me).

Sushi in NYC

My favorite sushi place in NYC has closed. If you loved Sogo in Soho (on West Broadway and Grand St)...it's closed forever! No more fresh sushi for a price that will not cost you arm and a leg. Where shall I go to satisfy my raw fish cravings? Damn you Genki Sushi for not being as good here as it is back home. If anybody knows a great sushi place with a conveyer belt or just a good place in general let me know.

I hate you song, Tom Delonge goes crazy, and I really hate L.A.M.B. clothes

For those of you know have no clue because you could careless, Blink 182 has broken up, a long time ago. I don't believe they are on "indefinite hiatus." Tom quit Blink, he said, because he was tired and needed a break, but it was probably more because he was sick of being a sidekick, and he wanted to be the center of attention.

I admit he can hold a tune with Angels & Airwaves, his new band, but Mark and Travis's new creation, +44 (lovely London reference greatly appreciated), seem a little more organic and real...maybe because they didn't get a holy gothic, "i think i'm matthew barney by making these short films" makeover. Admit it Tom, you're just a sellout whore. It's not a crime, but stop selling more crappy shoes named after your daughter. Gwen's not calling her baby company Kingston Wear.

Sidetracking a bit. I have to say what we've all been thinking about Gwen Stefani and L.A.M.B ...why is the L.A.M.B. line so hideous? I don't want to look like some rasta-tramp or a cholo trackstar. This sweater looks like it was spray painted in someone's garage! You're very stylish and breathtaking in most of your outfits, especially as a pregnant woman, but why not make a clothing line more in tune with your fabulous fashion sense? I guess you don't want anyone else looking as good as you do, huh?



Anyway, the reason for writing this entry was because of the best new "i hate you, you b@stard/b!tch" song ever has been released on LP by +44, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker's new band, and it's called "No It Isn't"

"Please understand
This isn't just goodbye
This is I cant stand you"

It doesn't get any better than that. I dedicate this to all my former frenemies.

I also wanted to show this ridiculous cover with Tom...uh, angel wings, that's so 1997, Nigel Pulsford of Bush did that during the "greedy fly" video shoot. P.S. Tom DeLonge, you need a serious reality check.
