2012 Oscars in Review

Let's just get the fashion part out of the way.

Giuliana Rancic was my favorite of the evening. She looked FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!

Cameron Diaz looked Amaze-ballz USA! 2nd Best Dressed of the evening.

Angelina Jolie and her LEG!

Viola Davis lost the Oscar cuz of this outfit. They saw her on the monitors and scrambled to change their votes.


Octavia Spencer looked DIVINE! Fit and color were perfect.


I was happy Meryl won though. She is a living legend. 17 nominations and 3 wins. One more win for her and she's gonna tie Katherine Hepburn. Meryl delivered my favorite moment of the night with her speech. She was saying how it was special because her makeup artist for the past 30 years on all her movies won for his transformation of her into Margaret Thatcher too. I loved it cuz it showed cracks in what I thought was a very professional woman. Granted she's always been professional but I saw a sweet side to her. It made me love her even more. :)

Overall I thought it went well. Billy Crystal doing the "I know what they're thinking" made me cry laughing. When he got to Nick Nolte and just said BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I fell off my chair. So funny. I feel like ALOT happened in a short amount of time.

Let's not forget the Dictator incident. He "spilled" Kim Jun's ashes on Ryan Seacrest who was a poor sport. HE WAS PISSED! It was hilarious though.

the one about Chris Brown and Rihanna part deux

So the rumor is Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together AND I heard their collabos. She is featured on his "Turn Up The Music" track and he and her "Birthday Cake" track. I like the song "Turn Up The Music" and her feature was well placed...his on her song OY! It's all sexual and I don't like the song to begin with.

I know I voiced my upset before but now I'm REALLY just...disturbed. Not only are they working together AFTER he beat her to a pulp but she sings "I LOVE YOU BABY" in her featured vocals. WHAT?! I know people go through stuff in relationships and they are hard but he BEAT HER!


How can she possibly forgive him? This is insane. She is sending the message to all those beat up that its ok to forgive and forget AND get back with their abusers.

The River

Think LOST meets ANACONDA. So a Steve Irwin-esque character named Dr. Emmet Cole has a weekly survival TV show. He gets lost in the Amazon and his family goes looking for him after efforts to find him are put on hold. The island he goes missing near is the creepy part. Even one scene has all baby dolls hanging from a tree then one of the baby dolls turns it head.

The writing is amazing and easy to follow yet one of those shows that you feel smarter after watching. And the acting is comprised of character and actors not in lead roles prior but you can tell they've deserved it. The main lead character I love is Lisa Cole Emmet's wife. She played Terri Bauer on 24. LOVE her character. Think Meryl Streep in RIVER WILD!

If you like creepy and a tad twisted check out this show.

the one about Valentine's Day 2012

So if you know me well enough you know Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I guess it's cuz I've never had a boyfriend to experience with. The cheesy cards. Dinner out. Teddy bear. All that. None of that happened for me. My favorite holiday and second most depressing time of the year for me. Well now third since Feb 26th is the day Brett died. (Father's Day is the first depressing time for me)

Every year I say I'm gonna be strong and that I have good things like supportive family and friends and health to keep me warm, but I'm just a hopeful romantic. I want that cheesy Valentine's Day. Last year I had a date but he was SUCH A TOOL! Yelled at the waitress at our dinner. Did not live up to what I wanted. Came close if I'm being honest but didn't hit the nail on the proverbial head. In fact after him I went into a LONG depression where I hated men and didn't want to date ever again. I'm over that clearly but I'm definitely not crying over it.

Just hmm whats the word before bummed? I just would love someone to be cheesy with. And I don't care about naysayers. I don't care about what others think of VDay. Everytime I think of VDay I think of Madonna's song "Get Together." Listen to the words. That's EXACTLY how I feel.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

the one about the 54th Annual Grammys and Whitney Houston

So when I think of Grammys I think of Whitney Houston. The story of her life could be called THE VOICE if the TV show didn't take the title.

Alot of my friends were shocked. And alot weren't. I was moved. I wouldn't say shaken but moved is the correct word. I didn't know her but growing up openly gay and black I wanted to be HER! "How Will I Know" made me dance with my mom's hairbrush as my mic. And "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" was there first time I saw a weave and had to have my mom explain how she had short hair in one video and long in the next. And I LOVED that bouncy dress hahaha

I had found out prior to making it big with Clive Davis she was singing in church so I joined the church choir...didn't last I hated practicing. Then she was a teen model on SEVENTEEN cover and I BEGGED my mom to get me into modeling...didn't last I wasn't gonna be on Seventeen I realized. I loved loved Whitney and knew one day I'd be friends with her.

That had been my dream for awhile. I always thought I'd meet her and now I'll never get that chance. Never get the chance to bask in her greatness. Just like Michael Jackson she had her troubles but there was no doubt in my mind I would get to have shake my hand and say "You doin good baby boy!" In fact those are the exact words I would imagine she say. I watched both her interview with Diane Sawyer, her interview with Oprah, and "Being Bobby Brown" on Bravo. I thought she was HILARIOUS! But I also thought Bobby was her downfall. I forgave her sins more than I forgave Michael. I worshipped Whitney in a way I never did Michael, Madonna, or the others. She was just...relatable.

I'm not saying Bobby put a gun to her and made her do the things she did to ravage her body and voice. I'm saying she herself wanted to keep up with him. Prove she can handle whatever he got and she ruined herself. When she came back with "My Love Is Your Love" I heard cracks in that beautiful voice. And then when I heard "Million Dollar Bill" I knew it was gone. Forever. On her worse day she could sing circles around me and anyone else obviously, but it wasn't what it was. On her best day Adele would be in awe.

The Grammys were a mess.

The show itself (shakes head) the performances were AWFUL! Adele and JHud were the only performers  that I wanted to see and I wasn't let down. You could tell Adele's voice had damage BUT it was still amazing. JHud was amazing as well BUT I wish she had sung in Whitney's key. I know she wasn't trying to be Whit but I was hoping through JHud I would hear Whitney and I didn't. I was still pleased. And she looked FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bonnie Raitt was the other performer I was wowed by. Everyone else I felt didn't try. They wanted to be on the Grammy show but they didn't bring their A-game. I love me some Nicki Minaj and will fight ANYONE that talks smack about her persona but her performance last night was too gimmicky. This is not a concert. No bringing NEW material I wanna hear Super Bass! Turn Me On! Moment 4 Life with Drake duet. Everyone was like "Didn't Lady Gaga do that?" And the answer is sort of. It was very Lady Gaga-esque. I know they didn't know Whitney died but having an exorism performance after a Legend dies was very...strange. I still love Nicki and will buy her music regardless.

I cannot wait to see Sparkle with Whitney this summer. And when I get famous I hope to be a fraction as good of a performer as her!

RIP Whitney Elizabeth Houston Brown August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012

the one about degrees of crushes

So I think it needs to be said that I have degrees of crushes. No one realizes this so I should formally state it.

There are crushes I have that I would bear his child (i.e. Aaron Hernandez, Ashton Kutcher, and Kris Humphries). And then there are crushes I would marry (i.e. my 3 work crushes, Matt Damon, Matthew Davis, Bailey Chase, and James Lafferty).

I just can't DATE certain crushes. Lets take Aaron Hernandez. He's got a rep for beating his girlfriends and being a hothead. Ashton has a rep for cheating on his WIFE on their 6th anniversary (unprotected sex btw says the hookup). Kris...have you SEEN Kourtney & Kim Take New York?! No explanation needed. But physically I'm attracted. Matt Damon on the other hand is marriage material...according to his wife of 6 years UGH!! Matthew Davis seems so intense. I watch him weekly on The Vampire Diaries and I get the feeling he's the boyfriend that would do ANYTHING for you. Same with Bailey Chase. He is the ULTIMATE dream guy aside from Matt in my eyes. Ten bucks Bailey would punch out a photog bothering me (when I get famous and we have lunch in the Ivy of course). And James Lafferty come on. Can he be any more hunk-a-licious? He's tall. Shy. And beautiful. (fans self). One thing about James he seems like he'd get whipped pretty easy which is a slight turn-off. And literally all three of my work crushes are in long-term relationships (one's even married) and they are GOOD GUYS!

Think about it in your own life? Why do women and gay men SAY they wanna date a nice guy yet go for the bad boy? I'm not saying Matt, Matthew, Bailey, James, and my 3 work crushes AREN'T hot cuz they are. It's just they are the NICE guys. They are the type you settle down with and won't cause a ton of drama. The bad boys are sexy and hot...for one or two nights. Not a lifetime :( Sorry Kris.

the one where I tread lightly

So my work crush is KINDA back on. UGH! I'm not happy about it.

Here's what happened. I did not confront him about his dickery. It'd be insane for me to, but he came over to talk and I engaged. I don't want him to think anything is up. Well the conversation goes "Yeah I'm reading Catching Fire. It's part of the Hunger Game series." (he shrugs) "Ugh you're such a straight guy." He looks at me and says "Yeah unfortunately." WHAT THE EFF IS THAT?!

Why me? Seriously FML! The conversation continues and it's obvious we are flirting with each other to the point after he leaves I stand up and my coworker is smiling at me. "I thought you were OVER your crush on him." UGH!!!!

I need advice does this guy like me?

the one about Giselle Bunions

So you can call me a hater all you want I LOATHE Giselle. Here's why: She cannot keep her damn mouth shut about things she don't know 100% about.

You wanna say someone sucks at modeling, considering you have $250 million FROM modeling I will listen to your opinion and advice. Go on America's Next Top Model and I got you boo. But I started disliking her when she went to the Oscars with Leo and said to a reporter IN FRONT OF LEO "If he doesn't win the Oscar something is wrong with the Academy." WHAT?! She just insulted the voters AND the winner that year since Leo didn't win.

Now she's back at it. First the pray for Tom chain email AND THEN when his team loses she says to A FAN who was heckling her "Well he can't throw the ball AND catch it. They were dropping the ball too much out there." WHAT?! She just insulted THE ENTIRE TEAM and made Tom a target.

Shortly after her Oscar interview her and Leo broke up...just saying.

If I was her friend I'd tell her to shut the eff up. "You wanna vent to me G, go ahead. But don't say these things in the press and DO NOT respond to hecklers." Then I'd slap her upside the head.

Chronicle

At first I was reluctant to see a movie about three boys whom gain supernatural powers aka the boy version of THE CRAFT! And that's exactly what it is...and as well-written.

I LOVED this movie!!!!!! I was surprised how much I loved the movie too. The special effects were FLAWLESS! There was no green screen feeling. And the storyline and dialogue were crisp. Of course as a audience member I was like "DO THIS" or "NO STAND UP TO HIM!" But that's normal. I loved the movie otherwise.

the one where I get over a crush

So this morning driving to work I was blasting "The Best I Never Had" by Beyonce lol I most of looked like a fool singing on the highway. OVER one of my work crushes.

I decided this after we had a meeting and he was just a 100% jackass. Then after the meeting wanted to be buddy buddy again. I was like professional but I think he got the hint I'm all set. In the meeting he was borderline jerkish. For cereal. Not towards me directly but to others and he was morose the whole time. Not laughing. Not paying attention. It was uncomfortable. Afterwards everyone was like "what was his deal?"

Anyways I'm on the professional tip. Don't really share too much personally anymore (not that I did before), but whenever I see him approach I try to look busy so he won't come over and chit chat.

Man on a Ledge

I'm big into Sam Worthington so that was the draw to me seeing this movie. I was VERY disappointed to hear it only made $8 million its opening weekend. I decided to go see it anyways.

VERY GLAD I DID!!!!!!!!! The movie absolutely 100% rocked. I thought it was one thing and it ended up being another...in a good way. The critics are SO wrong about this movie. It was entertaining and there wasn't one scene I'd cut out or rush through. Loved every minute.

There were a FEW scenes where I call it the "COME ON" moment. Where you get the chance to tell someone off and they don't and you're like COME ON if that was me...but had they not done things the way they did the movie wouldn't have ended the way it did. That's the good part.

If you haven't seen it go out and do so. You won't regret it :)

Oh wait I did have ONE complaint. Someone needs to tell Sam Worthington when you are playing American you can't slip into your Australian accent. That was weird.
