Whoa.
So, I’m going to come clean about some things. When I gave up celebrity gossip for Lent, I did not give up on entertainment news. And the news site with the best entertainmenst section happens to be www.msnbc.com. And, yes, they tend to be just a bit farther left on the spectrum than I, but I nonetheless have particularly enjoyed their entertainment section and continue to.
So, tonight I’m clicking around and I come across an article on what the Obama’s donated for the charity auction at their daughter’s school and how it was not as generous as what the Clinton’s donated when Chelsea attended blah blah. And below it is a story about Levi Johnston, aka Sarah Palin’s daughter’s baby’s daddy. And the newspaper describes Levi’s son as “Sarah Palin’s first acknowledge grandchild”. Um, what? Totally unecessary to throw that one in there, especially since it’s almost a year later. Find something new to hold a grip about. It’s also insanely hypocritical that the very same people who whine about how Sarah Palin remains relevant are the people who keep her relevant. I don’t think the person who actually got to be Vice President (what’s his name – Jim?) probably gets half the amount of news coverage that Palin still does.
BTW, has any one found out where I can get those boots Jill wore during the Inaug? Those things were hot!
Mis-step America
So, on last night’s Miss America pageant, Miss California made it to the question and answer section. When she was asked by Perez Hilton about states legalizing gay marriage. And she replied in an incoherent mess.
First of all, who the hell made Perez Hilton a judge on the Miss America pageant? The guy is famous for drawing penises on the face of young women. Not surprised Kenan Thompson (yea, remember him from “All That”?) was also a judge despite his comment after the Rihanna/Chris Brown incident that SNL will still let him perform on their show so long as he has another hit single.
Anyway, back to Miss California. The girl made a mistake. Not because she gave the “wrong” opinion, but because she gave her opinion at all. The question particularly did not call for her own opinion, and I can’t remember there ever being a Miss America who did talk about political issues, I thought they just held things, lived in one of the Trump buildings, and made surprise stints in rehab. She didn’t need to give her own opinion, but she did and at the very least, we should respect her for being honest and not giving a half-hearted P.C. comment that the judges would have prefered. The real d.b. here is Perez Hilton for using his question as a way to promote his own personal cause.
and i can go, but i don’t want to stay.
I wanted to write this a long time ago, but I thought someone would say “who are you to speak of this?” Well I’ve got eyes and ears and a heart, and I can feel it. And it pains me more than you
will ever know.
British singer Jem has this way that just breaks me down into tears with whatever she sings. And most of the songs on “Down to Earth” (which can be streamed entirely on her myspace for free) have the same effect on me.

I’m Sorry
Dear Dannii Minogue,
I’m sorry for favoring your sister over you. “I Begin to Wonder” is excellent and has made my rainy day.
Xoxo,

I’m Not Over You Yet
So, about a week ago, I woke up on a very special Thursday. I had plans.
Evidence class, happy hour pizza, haircut, seeing friends visiting from B’more, and then heading over to the Lady Gaga concert. Well, one thing got in the way of the amazing day. American Idol.
That morning, I was chatting with my dear friend I rarely see more than once in a year. I went to pull up the address of 9:30 club (I knew it was at V and 9th or something but needed to double check) and found a nice message of canceled Lady Gaga shows. Apparently, she canceled her Philadelphia show the night before as well. And what did she do that night? Go on American Idol.
I was furious. I didn’t listen to her for days. I got angry seeing the unused tickets on my desk. So, she writes this blog post about having a fever and needing to rest but she still had trouble sleeping since she felt so guilty about the canceled shows. Whatever, it’s been a week and a half now. And although still no word on rescheduled concert dates, I’m back to listening to her music. Cause when your dishwasher is broken and you have to wash it all by hand, I like listening to her. And if that’s wrong, I don’t want to be right.
