Goodbye Star TV, Hello E! Channel!!

As everyone knows I am very excited that E! Channel is coming back to Canada, tomorrow November 29th! For the 3 people who don't know, or care. E! Channel specializes in celebrity reality and entertainment-talk programming, basically what I based this blog,  most of my reading and TV viewing on.

Such classic shows as  Keeping Up With The Kardashians ,Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami, E! News, The Soup, Kendra, Fashion Police and E! True Hollywood Story are all back in Canada.

But the show I can't wait for,is the return of  Chelsea Lately!!  This is the best late night talk show EVER! I know that my friends Lauren & Holly are just as excited.

Now if only they could run RuPaul's Drag Race 2, then this channel would be perfect!

Oprah's Favorite Things 2010 - Crazy Audience Reactions (HD)

Oprah's Favorite Things Episode is one of my "favorite" of the season. Not because she gives away stuff that I will never have. I mean $135 popcorn?  The real reason why I love it is because the audience loses their minds! Like at any moment they could explode.
This year was probably the craziest for audience reaction.  The best is the guy holding on to his toupee when he finds out he is going on a cruise.

This is just Part 1, Oprah had 2 Favorite Things shows. It is to make up for her ridiculous recession Favorite Things from last year.

If you want to watch a bad movie.....

Watch this waste of time. Not only does it include every cliche that any romantic comedy has, it has Taylor Swift. If you think her songs are corny, her acting is even worse. I think that almost every actor and actress in Hollywood makes an appearance in this movie, and that is not a selling point of this movie.

"Intertwining couples and singles in Los Angeles break-up and make-up based on the pressures and expectations of Valentine's Day."

Trust me stay away for this one. You will thank me.

Dating Advice Tip #2

Here is another example of well meaning advice from my friends.

"Lori you have to get out there."

Really because I was under the impression that he was going to knock on my door one random day.
Now it all make sense. I have to leave my condo at some point.

Thanks

I have Wedding Fever

 I am going to admit it. After hearing today that William & Kate are getting married, I have become addicted. Yes I know it has only been less then 24 hours but I have Royal Wedding fever. 
I can't get enough details which is crazy because I am not that big on weddings in general. He gave his mothers engagement ring, so it would symbolize her being part of the wedding. I loved that they announced it on twitter. My obsession will grow into the summer.

Lori's Official Book Club

Last week at work, they had a book sale. The deal was all the books you could put in a box for $5. I felt this would be a great time to start a new challenge. To venture into the would of self help books for the single woman! My version of the Oprah Book Club. I figured that these books would unlock the secrets that I need to know. 

Blaney I am dedicating this to you, along with all my other single girlfriends.

Over the next while I am going to read these books and share the wisdom I learn.

With these titles how can I go wrong.

   "If Life is a Game, These are the Rules."

  "Don't call me a Drama Queen, A Guide for the Overly Sensitive & Their need to Lean how to  Lighten Up & Go with the flow"

"And Then I'll be Happy! Stop Sabotaging Your Happiness and Put Your Own Life First"

"If He's not the one, Who is? She also wrote "It's a Breakup, Not a Breakdown", so she has to be an expert.

"He's just not your Type, and that is a Good Thing."

"Ms Typed. Stop Sabotaging Your Relationships & find dating Success." (She was on Oprah, so I will start with that one.)

Katy Perry - Firework

This is Katy's tribute to all the kids who don't fit in, who feel like they don't belong.

Just make sure you have fireworks that shoot out of your chest and everything will better!

What an inspiration she is. I still have to understand what the women giving birth with the fireworks shooting out her has to do with anything, but whatever.

I love an Award show that starts at 3pm

So I love award shows. I watch them all. So you can understand why I was so happy to see an award show at 3pm on a Sunday while I was lying on the couch. The show was the EMA's, or for those who don't know, that stands for the European MTV Award from Madrid.

I had no idea that Eva Longoria was so famous in Spain, but apparently she is. She also loves to really use her "Latino" accent every time she says a word that sounds close to being Spanish.

The show started off  with one of the biggest upset in years. Justin Bieber loses to Ke$ha for best new artist! If this happened in North America, 12 year old girls and soccer moms everywhere would beginning rioting.

I am happy to say that Lady Gaga won an award. I am unhappy to say that she was in Budapest so I can't see the Katy Perry death stares like at the MTV awards in September.

Speaking of Katy Perry. She is married now and  feels like it is ok to perform in an outfit that is a cross between Cher circa 1970's & Lady Gaga, fireworks and all.  Uneventful at best.

Now was the time for the 1st ever International Icon Award. Sounds exciting right. So who is getting this very prestigious award. Bon Jovi that's who. I have nothing for that one.

Another thing I learned about Spain. Jersey Shore is just as popular. Fists Pumps translate in all languages. I am glad to see DJ Paula D & Snookie are making their 15 min really last.

Another shocking  upset. Katy Perry's ridiculous California Girls video beats Lady Gaga's Telephone for best video. Outrageous!! Where is Kanye now! He was performing with 30 Seconds To Mars in the pre-show. Damm. Also to calm down those rioting 12 years girls I mentioned earlier. Justin Bieber wins Best Male Video. Yes I said Male Video and all is right again.

Now on to Miley. Sorry your parents are getting divorce. I know your mom had an "affair" with Bret Micheal's - allegedly, but that doesn't  mean you have to dress like someone women from his Rock of Love Show.

Now it is time for Ke$ha to perform and I mean perform. I love glitter, but glow in the dark paint is a whole new level. I can respect a women who can take a drunk Sat night Karaoke performance and turn it into a music career.

Lady Gaga wins a couple of more awards to Katy Perry's disgust, very enjoyable. Then the show ended with Bon Jovi, just like it was 1985 all over again.

Dating Advice Tip #1

One of my favorite things is when my well meaning  friends offer me advice on dating. So throughout this blog I will pass along some of these wonderful tips.

Tip #1 -  My friend -"The best way to meet someone is through friends Lori. That way you know someone who can vouch for him."
               Me - "Oh do have anyone you can set me up with?'
               My friend - "No"

Thanks for that.
