Happy Birthday Celine Dion

Today is national treasure Celine Dion's 43rd birthday. After watching her documentary "Through the Eyes of the World" I realized how talented she is. For years my friend Jillian as always defended her passionately not matter what anyone said.
Happy Birthday Celine! You are amazing!

Britney Spears - "Hold It Against Me" Ok we will

The Queen of Lip -Syncing is back with her 7th CD. Today on GMA she performed "live", but nothing about it was really live. including being pre-taped on the weekend.
I think Britney is finally embracing that fact that she doesn't even try to sing. Her mic is a tiny  little headset that you can hardly see. You only realize that it is on at the very end when she thanks the crowd.
Now where Britney lacks any sort of vocals, she usually made up for it with her choreographed dance routines. I say usually. At times watching this she looks like she has now idea what she should be doing.
She does love sitting, wind machines, moving her head and walking on the spot.
I really hope she gets these routines down for her summer tour. She will be coming to the ACC Aug 13th, the last stop on the tour with Enrique Iglesias as the opening act. I can only image a Hero duet.

The Juno's -My Review

Last night was the 2011 Juno Awards, Canada's Grammys. It was supposed to be a big deal because
1) it was the 40th year and 2) is was back in Toronto.
I will be honest, this is an award show that I really never watch or care much about. If I am going to watch a Canadian award show, it will be the MMVA's in the summer.

One hour in to this "show" I realized why I don't watch. I will start with the positive. The host Drake. He was pretty good, I didn't really laugh, but he made the best of his hosting duties. Shania Twain telling the crowd that she loves Canada's bushes. You know a show is not going well, when that is best line of the night

Ok now on to the worst. I'm not even sure where to start. So here is my top 5 list.

5) Every single person who took the stage kissing Neil Young's ass. I understand he is a legend, but I also don't think he cares that Down with Webster is so honoured to be in the same room as him.

4) The performances (exception Arcade Fire) When Sarah McLachlan is your big heavyweight performer, we are in trouble.

3) The pre-show number with Danny Fernandes and Shawn Desman that turned into the lamest flash mob I have ever seen. I swear at one point some of the dances broke out into the chicken dance. Although it made me forget how bad the song was.

2) The clothes. I know this is a music show, but I see better clothes at the Eaton Centre on a Sunday afternoon.

1) Everything about the Etalk Pre-show.
The dumb questions.
Q"Are you happy to be back in Canada."
A "Don't you love the fans in Toronto?"
Q To Bryan Adams "Hey your going to be a dad!  I have twin boys!!"

Could it get worse, yes it could. Ben Mulroney actually doing a Zoolander Walk Off with some poor guy who just wanted to answer a question. Then pushing poor Sarah Mclachlan out of the way, before asking her who won.
 I was never so happy to see 9pm come so I could turn on Celebrity Apprentice.

The Voice - Why?

It was just a few weeks ago I sitting home thinking. "We really need more reality TV shows for singers who have a dream." So far we only have American Idol, America's Got Talent, The Sing Off with Nick Lachey. (remember that, no, nobody does), The Singing Bee, Don't Forget the Lyrics and the much hyped The X - Factor with Simon Cowell. How many undiscovered singers are in America? It seems like lots because now we have another show - The Voice

They claim this show is totally different then any other singing show on TV now (ie American Idol).On this show the judges sit with there back's to the contestants. Wow.  Lets see what else is different.

American Idol          The Voice

Ryan Seacrest          Carson Daly

       Jennifer Lopez          Christina Aguilera

Steven Tyler             Adam Levine

 Randy Jackson         Cee Lo Green

                                Blake Shelton

Wait they have a 4th judge, and he is a country music singer, so it is different!
Can't wait until April 26th for this one.

Dating Advice Tip #6

This is a very simple piece of advice.
Don't ever trust a guy who wears a beret.
Unless its October 31st or part of some military outfit, if I guy shows up wearing a beret, walk away immediately.



Toronto is Duh! WINNING!

In case you have not heard yet, Charlie Sheen is bringing his"My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option Show" to Toronto.
The show will take place at Massy Hall on April 14th.
My biggest question. What is Charlie Sheen going to do? Talk, do a comedy routine, play an instrument? Who knows,but he is charging $100 per ticket for it.
He has said his live show "is where you will hear the real story from the Warlock."

Bring it.

Guess I’m just that goddamn bitchin’.

                                           

Worst Video Ever?

Over the years I have seen some really bad video's, but this may one of the worst.
Ke$ha has been know for her train wreck video's before, however this may just ruin what is left of her career.
Never mind about poor James "Dawson Creek" Van de Beek. He must fire his agent (if he even has one) immediately.

This jem begins with Ke$ha talking to unicorn people, yes unicorn people about something that makes no sense.  If you can manage to get to the 2:40 mark, look out for some of the best dialogue ever. Then if you have ever said,"I wish I could find guns that shoot rainbows." Your wish comes true.

Then ending is especially memorable, although if you are a James Van de Beek fan you may not be impressed

The song is called Blow, like Ke$ha career.

Jennifer Lopez - On The Floor ft. Pitbull

Count the product placements in this video. That is a game I like to play instead of listening to this song. Anyways.
J.Lo is back, and I for one have missed her.
Yes she looks better then ever before, but is this song any good?  Not really. It just confirms that if it has  Pitbull in the song, I'm not really going to like it.
She has like 10 outfit changes, dances up a storm ,fist pumps, poses for the camera, and sings(?)
Pitbull mumbles something, trying his best to get this song on Jersey Shore. I have no idea what he is doing in this song.


Thanks to this video debut on American Idol it went right to #1 on itunes. That says loads about the power of AI. J. Lo will be "performing" this song on American Idol in the next few weeks. I can't wait.

Things That Annoy Me Part 1

Over this past weekend I was thinking of things that annoy me. Mainly words or phrases that really get under my skin. Maybe it was because of the whole Charlie Sheen Duh!Winning stuff I don't know, but here is my top 5 list, in no order.

1) When people write "Cheers" at the end of emails. Why do they do this? They never say that when speaking to me in person.  So why in emails? Just say thanks and end it. Also write in huge font, and  you annoy me more then you know.

2) The term "BFF".  Are these people 4? If you want to use it as a nickname for 1 really good friend fine,go ahead, but don't call ever person you have ever met your "BFF" because they aren't.
3) What is even worse the BFF, "Besties". Look if you are old enough to get your period, your old enough to know that this word sounds ridiculous when saying it to another adult. What happened to just saying "Hey this is my friend so and so." Is that too hard? You have to use a word that makes you sound like a child?
4) "Yummy Mommy's" I hate this term so much I have no words for it. This is what a grown women who has just had a child wants to called? Really?

5) "Panties" This sounds like a something a dirty old man would say. Just call it underwear, OK. Trust me we know what your talking about.

I have more, I am just really annoyed thinking about the rest.

The Monster Ball 2011 - My Review

This past Thursday I went to the Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour at the Air Canada Centre.  I saw her last this past July, so I already knew that I was going to enjoy it.

What I didn't enjoy was the 10:20pm start time, when it was originally supposed to start at 8:50pm. Even worse the waiting that long was having to hear Michael Jackson's greatest hit on constant repeat. No one really needs to hear "Beat It" 4 times, no one.

When the lights went down and she took the stage, it was like I forgot that I had been standing since 8pm. The first part was the same as the last show. Beginning with "Dance In The Dark"

Dance In The Dark

The show really got going by the 3rd song. Her first hit "Just Dance"

Not only was the dancing better then the summer show, so was the sound and some new costumes. Also consider she was running 1 hour and 1/2 late Lady Gaga was really talkative. Including letting us know that she has never lip synced her her life. In her words " I would never be some lazy bitch who would lip sync for 2 hours!" It was clear that she was talking about the Britney's of the world.

Lovegame

GAGA speaks to her Little Monsters

 

Money Honey

Gaga can play the piano with her boot heal, Amazing!

The most talked about part of the evening was Gaga's duet with 10 year old Maria Aragon from Winnipeg. She posted her version of Born This Way on You Tube and was invited to sing in Toronto by Gaga herself.

Gaga & Maria

She was adorable and did a fantastic job singing in front of 15,000+ people.

This lead into the best part of the show. Monster, Teeth and Alejandro. The last song included Gaga crowd surfing during the middle of it. I never saw Madonna do that! It takes a lot to crowd surf in the outfit she had on & covered in fake blood.



Monster





Teeth, I was mad that I forgot to wear this!



This time the show had 2 encores, Bad Romance and Born This Way (the Express Yourself version) Both were amazing, or to quote Charlie Sheen, Epic and totally Bitchin!



Bad Romance, I think the best song of the show



                                                                    

Born This Way

I loved this show, and didn't even realize that it was almost 12:30am by the time it was done. Totally worth the wait, and Gaga lives up the to new Madonna title.

If anyone has a chance to see her GO!

10 / 10!!

Charlie Sheen - WINNING For Men

Who doesn't want a man that is a WINNER! Now your man can smell like Duh! Winning!

Don’t be worried. Celebrate this movement.

That was just one of the now famous Charlie Sheen quotes from the last week.
In honour of his Sheenisms, I have put together some of my favorite quotes so far:

On people criticizing him on Twitter
"It's sad for them. It's like, 'Get a job, anyone?'"
 
On life at his L.A. mansion with two women whom he calls "the goddesses”
"Maybe the three of us will get married. I don't know. I'm gonna say this. It's a polygamy story. All my guy friends are gonna like throw tomatoes at me. It's like an organic union of the hearts."
 
On his affinity for porn stars
"it's exciting ... you already know what you're getting before you meet them. "They're the best at what they do and I'm the best at what I do. And together it's like, it's on. Sorry, Middle America. Yeah, I said it."
 
On why he hires prostitutes
“Who wants to deal with all the small talk and nonsense? And you're paying for something that eliminates that. And I don't know. It makes sense to me. As long as you're not lying to anybody. As long as you're not lying to people, I think whatever you're doing, there's no children involved in, then you're OK. But people are going to judge it, because they're so jealous.

On why he won't  join AA,
“you gotta sit in a room and be all lame. I’m a winner and they look like losers.”

Plus here are some other gems that need no explanation

“Women are not to be hit. They're to be hugged and caressed ... She was attacking me, though, with a small fork — like a cocktail fork. And she had it with her; that was the weird part. What was she doing with, like, a shrimp fork in her purse? She stole it, clearly. From a buffet.”

“That doesn’t matter. That was an old brain. I have a new brain. I have a 10,000-year-old brain and the boogers of a seven-year-old. That’s how I describe myself.”

“I wish people would shift that focus on to themselves and their own family and their own friends and just maybe spend a little more time on their home front. And not some distant planet that is me.”

“[On Two And A Half Men] there’s always, you know, a pee-pee or a butt—you know, pooh-pooh joke or a thing and I’m being like kind right now—in ways that they make you see things or feel imagery that is — that’s just juvenile and gross. And it’s not—I don’t think it comes close to—I think it eclipses some of the stuff I’m doing out there on my most epic nights, you know?”

[After Piers says Sheen's life is "unconventional"] Pretty good word for it. I think it’s just straight-out bitching.”

“You’ve always got to consider the source. You look at some of these retarded zombies, these trolls that roll out of there and heading back for the rock to crawl back under before the sun peeks out—and they’re putting so much stock into the words and the thoughts and, as I have said, the gibberish of fools, and not checking anything with me.”

“In their opinion, in their vast research, pink clouds have to go away. Can’t you spin on a pink cloud your whole life, and just be super bitching and focused?”

Reporter: “Are you clean right now?” Sheen: “Look at me, duh. drug tests don’t lie.” Reporter: “When was the last time you did drugs?” Sheen: “I don’t know. score board doesn’t lie”

“Passion. I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. I don’t think people are ready for the message I’m delivering and delivering with a sense of violent love.”

“They’re trying to destroy my family. Defeat is not an option. They picked a fight with a warlock.”

“How do you intend to win the war?” Sheen: “With zeal, focus and violent hatred. You love or hate, you live in the middle you get nothing.”

Reporter: How do you avoid slipping into that again?” Sheen: I won’t do it. I don’t believe if I do something I have to follow a certain path. It was written for normal people. People that don’t have tiger blood and Adonis DNA.

“Come Wednesday morning they will rename it Charlie Brothers and not Warner Brothers. Duh. Winning Guys, IMDB, right there, 62 movies and a ton of success. Come on, bro, I won best picture at 20. I wasn’t even trying. Wasn’t even warm. I have Roman Copola with a script. David Ward with “Major League 3″ God is a Bullet.

" I will even do season 10, but at this point, because of psychological distress, on my god, it’s $3 million an episode. Take it or Leave it. Everybody thinks I should be begging for my job back and everybody else will be begging me for my job back .That’s how I roll. Defeat is not an option."

The babies live with me, they're in the kitchen right now. They run around and they're as fun as you can imagine. They say 'Dada' and run into walls. And Dada is cool, but when they run into walls I say, 'Don't do that, that's retarded.' "

"I'm bi-winning!"

"You borrow my brain for like 5 seconds and be like, Dude! Can't handle it! Unplug this bastard!"

"Duh! Winning!"

"I've exposed people to magic."

"I have a disease? Bullshit! I cured it with my BRAIN!"

"People say, You have to work through your resentments. Yeah, no, I'm going hang on to them and they're going fuel my attack!"

Charlie showing Piers his drug test results. He carries them in his pocket.

Part 2 tomorrow!!
