Celeb FYI: Miley is 15 Months Older Than Dakota

August 30th, 2008 Written by: Kendra · No Comments

In case you are even the slight bit interested in tweenage starlets, you should know this interesting bit of information. Seriously, your life depends on it. Miley Cyrus in only a year and 3 months older than Dakota Fanning.  Yes, I know, I know, how is this possible?  Miley seems old enough to be Dakota’s stage mom, or at least her hot aunt that smokes a pack a day, right?  Well, imdb.com lists Dakota’s Birthday as February 23, 1994 and Miley’s Birthday as November 23, 1992.  Very interesting, indeed.  Maybe they should start hanging out and Miley can teach Dakota the ropes.  By this time next year, sweet little Dakota Fanning can have her very own sexy Internet photo controversy!

To further muck up your Saturday morning, here’s a creepy fan-video tribute to the two actresses, set to a song by Emma Roberts.  I’m gonna go listen to some Skinny Puppy to make up for writing this.

Internet (Un)Awesomeness: Britney Spears’ Actual Voice

August 21st, 2008 Written by: Mali · 4 Comments

Alright. If I’m honest, I had serious doubts about posting this. I mean everyone knows that singer/dancers aren’t actually singing on stage now-a-days. Justin Timberlake does not actually sing, Miley Cyrus does not actually sing, almost any performer you see running around the stage does not actually sing. The reason Britney Spears doesn’t sound good in this video is not because she CAN’T sing but because she’s just marking the song.

Although I know that I shouldn’t feel pity, anger, or anything else towards this mega-millionaire who seems to have trouble with her life because she was never allowed to grow up. But I do feel bad for poor Brit Brit because she can’t seem to get a break. I personally was never a fan of hers, but I don’t think she deserves all the backlash she gets. She did not become famous for her voice, she was famous for being a performer. Every person of her genre does this. She’s not putting her heart into it, she’s simply trying to walk through it knowing very well that her voice will not be heard.

Morning Video: She is Not REAL! WHAT?

August 21st, 2008 Written by: Mali · No Comments

This is absolutely amazing and frightening. “The woman in the animation - was produced using a new modelling technology that enables the most minute details of a facial expression to be captured and recreated. She is considered to be one of the first animations to have overleapt a long-standing barrier known as ‘uncanny valley’ - which refers to the perception that animation looks less realistic as it approaches human likeness.”

August 20th, 2008 Written by: Liana Aghajanian · No Comments

Oh Rick Astley, what would I ever do without you? If it wasn’t for you, the world would have never heard the best song known to man, “Never Gonna Give You Up.” You’ve permeated our hearts and souls with lyrics such as “I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling, gotta make you understand.” You’ve also got presidential hopeful Barack Obama singing your hard to resist hit, with a little help from the magic of the internet of course. Below is the kind of clip that you send around to family and friends. At the end, you’ll be left wondering, who in the world had the time to craft such a masterpiece? Enjoy!

Morning Video: Betty White Roasts William Shatner

August 20th, 2008 Written by: Mali · 1 Comment

For those of you who missed Bob Saget’s Roast on Comedy Central this weekend…. it was pretty good, but it made me think about some of the REALLY great roasts out there. What could be better than Betty White and William Shatner? You do have to wait about 4 minutes until she begins…but it’s worth it! And there is stuff to entertain until then.

Nothing like a little humor to get ya going in the morning…

Celebri~Dumbass of the Week: Roseanne Barr

August 19th, 2008 Written by: Kendra · 1 Comment

Roseanne Barr either went off her meds this week or let her political beliefs take over her brain…and her blog! In a post entitled “Jon Voight”, she attacks not only him but (gasp!) his daughter, Angelina Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt as well. Why attack the altruistic couple? It appears that Roseanne is upset that Angelina is not endorsing the same candidate as Roseanne. Here’s what Roseanne wrote on her blog:

jon voight your evil spawn angelina jolie and her vacuous hubby brad pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (just sayin’).
Also miss jolie says she likes mccain too and hasn’t decided who to endorse….huh? Aren’t you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the african daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the republican party’s worldwide economic assault on africa over the last few decades since reagan? whaaaa…??????!!!!

Morning Video: Ragu Argument Saves the World

August 19th, 2008 Written by: Mali · No Comments

Many people don’t understand the importance of individuality….especially when comparing Prego and Ragu. Yet this man’s theory for pasta sauce could lead the entire world to peace or at least the idea to think independently from others. Enjoy…

Movies: Cinematic Guilty Pleasures

August 18th, 2008 Written by: Kendra · 6 Comments

Everyone has them. You know, those movies that you secretly love. The ones you would never own (or admit to owning) but you know every word to. When they come on cable on a lazy Sunday afternoon, you can’t help but let out a squeal of delight because you know you’re going to watch the whole darn thing. These films never make the cut for the “Movies I Like” section of your Facebook page. Too embarrassing. But, love them you do. Scandalously! They are your Guilty Cinematic Pleasures!
