Lady Gaga cookies
Somebody took time out of their day to make about a billion different Lady Gaga cookies, which is either kinda awesome or really strange.
Either way, they’re pretty creative and they make me happy. And hungry.

My favorite looks from the 2010 Golden Globes
Anna Kendrick in Marchessa
Anna Kendrick is the ONLY person I saw on the red carpet last night that I thought 100% nailed it. There were dresses I liked better and hair I liked better, but Anna’s OVERALL look was my favorite of the evening. The gown, hair, makeup and accessories complimented each other perfectly. Most importantly, the overall look showcased her personality. She was able to pull of old Hollywood glamour with a young and refreshing twist.
Olivia Wilde in Gucci
Olivia Wilde is beyond sexy and I love disco-ball-inspired gowns. I’m a sucker for sparkles. I would have liked her hair a little looser. Tightly pulled seemed to be a trend for the evening, and I wasn’t digging it.
Heather Graham in Elie Saab
Heather also pulled out some gorgeous, glam sparkles. Again, I’m not a fan of the slicked-back hair. She probably could have been a little sassier with her earring selection, as well.
Penelope Cruz in Giorgio Armani Prive
I’ve seen a lot of mixed reactions about Penelope Cruz’s gown, but I think it looks lovely on her. “Too busy” was the main complaint, but I don’t see it. However, I think she could have benefited from wearing an updo, which is something I don’t usually suggest. But this intricate neckline kinda calls for it.
Anna Paquin in Stella McCartney
Why not be Golden at the Golden Globes? If I were to choose a dress for myself, this is what I would have gone with. Again, I saw differing opinions on this dress, but I adore the beautiful texture and overall excess of it. (I did intentionally select this picture for the absence of her shoes, though. Her shoe selection was horrendous. Let’s pretend she had on a gorgeous, nude colored pump, shall we?)
Jersey Shore does Ten@Ten on Jay Leno
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I can’t help but being entertained by Jersey Shore. I don’t do it on purpose – it’s not on my DVR Series Manager. Yet, I always accidentally stumble upon it and become unexplainably hypnotized by their larger-than-life poofs and radioactive orange skin.
I, too, love the tanning. I’ve also been known to tease uncontrollably. However, even I have to put on sunscreen before tuning in to Jersey Shore – I’m convinced it’s possible to get melanoma (and probably gonorrhea) just from watching.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s as entertaining as watching African tribes on the Discovery channel. What a fascinating and strange world these people live in. Watching the Jersey Shore cast makes me think I could get a job working for NASA. And win a Pulitzer, which I would put on the mantel next to my Nobel Peace Prize.
Seriously, Jersey Shore….thanks for upping my self esteem. I love you guys.
Check out Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino being his delightfully dumb, conceited self on Jay Leno’s Ten@Ten last night.
And because one Jersey Shore encounter just isn’t enough, here’s Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s Ten@Ten appearance. If you’re wondering how she would change the world…
“I would put tanning beds in everyone’s homes and I would eliminate the ‘Bumpit’. Because I don’t use the ‘Bumpit’. I tease.”
A girl after my own heart, Snooki. The “Bumpit” is for lazy sluts.
You just got your culture for the day. You’re welcome.
Gym. Tanning. Laundry.
Pop The Glock (official music video)
After mentioning her in my Ke$ha review, I became re-enamored with Uffie. ♥
me and he – our crew’s a militia
better watch out… my clan gets vicious
Album review: Animal
I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is that makes me like Ke$ha. The fact that she spells her name with a symbol certainly is irritating. Doesn’t she understand that’s going to make it very difficult to Google her?
I can tell you, though, that the music from her album Animal makes me bounce with the same kind of shameful, guilty delight that Britney Spears used to conjure from me.
I can think of at least one reason I enjoy her music so much – she says that she wants to dance with no pants on (and also until her pants fall off) several times. I share the same animosity towards pants, so that’s very easy for me to relate to. Pants are both overrated and unnecessary. In addition, I’ll immediately like anyone who teases their hair with so much reckless abandon. So, basically, I love pantless women with Barbarella hair.
At first, I thought she sounded so familiar because she provided back up vocals for Flo Rida’s “Right Round”. Sadly, she sounds so recognizable because she’s is actually just a manufactured, more marketable Uffie duplicate on a responsible amount of speed. I’m posting Uffie’s “The Party” after the jump, in case you’d like to argue with me on this one.
But, on the real (I just said “on the real”), I would recommend this album. It’s not magical or full of super-talent, but it is fun, upbeat and entertaining. I would say she’s the musical equivalent of knock-off, neon Ray-bans. Asher Roth with a vagina.
Favorite tracks: “Animal”, “Blah Blah Blah”, “Hungover”, “Kiss ‘n’ Tell”
Blah Blah Blah (feat. 3OH!3)

Teen Mom: Farrah is delusional
This week, on MTV’s Teen Mom, Farrah continued her ravenous quest to find a man. That is, afterall, sincerely important when you’re 17 and have a baby at home. When her parents showed distaste for her constant all-nighters partying with the girls, Farrah said, “I wish my parents would stop telling me to be a better mom and let me be a normal teenager.”
Apparently, no one told her that having a baby in high school is an automatic forfeit of “normal”.
So, even though they originally tell her not to go out, Farrah is allowed to do just that… again. The next day, her mother and step-father attempt to scold her for her lifestyle. In the end, though, they just let her yell and curse at them, and she experiences absolutely no retribution for her behavior. At one point, Farrah yells at her step-father, “Shut the fuck up!”
Then, her mom feeds her steak.
None of this would fly in my family. Baby or no baby, I wouldn’t have been allowed to disrespect my parents like that. Had I become a mother in high school, I damn well wouldn’t have been allowed to go party every night. And if I told my mother to “shut the fuck up”, I would be dead. Forget child abuse, she wouldn’t have bothered beating me, she would have straight-up killed me.
What angers me most about this girl is that she’s just dumb. Forget that she’s a bad mother and has no interest in her daughter. She’s DUMB. She can barely form a sentence. Her main tactic of arguing consists of repeating everything her opponent has said. Such as, “No, Michael, YOU don’t get it!”
I guess it’s at least semi-intelligent of her to try to find a man to take care of her. She’ll never be able to take care of herself.
Album review: Alter the Ending
Alter the Ending, the newest album from the always-amazing Dashboard Confessional, is almost sickeningly fantastic.
Needless to say, the deluxe version is the only way to go – you need both the acoustic and full-on jam versions of each song. Track to track, it kicks its own ass over and over again.
The best treat of this album is its contrasting perspective from Dashboard’s previous releases. It definitely holds true to the band’s raw, soul-bearing past, but gives a bright, almost perky outlook and sound.
Chris Carrabba (with the help of those other guys) makes some damn beautiful music. I love that he can create heartbreaking and heartfelt, yet terminally-cool alternative songs from would-be sappy ballads.
Whether you like your Dashboard a little more rocking or prefer the naked and natural sound of acoustic, Alter the Ending is a win-win.
I’m personally loving “Blame It On The Changes (Acoustic)”.
