10 things: pop culture, volume 1

this is like my own little pop culture gossip corner.

1) kardashians: i personally think kim is the prettiest kardashian. but kourtney is the most logical and less likely to break down in a drama crazed, emotional stooper. khloe is kinda the fun one, the one who isn't afraid to speak her mind. she's loyal... likes to lighten the mood. funny how everyone has their roles in a family, huh? anyway, i love the kardashians, and i think they kinda rock. all three girls better watch out for the younger two though- kendall and kylie jenner are going to be gorgeous!! i kinda love bruce and most times feel bad for him cause he gets kinda dismissed pretty regularly. rob... what does rob even do anyway? doesn't he feel bad to be a part of this awesome, productive, and very-public family, but not have anything of his own going on? i would. ps- i really wish kim woulda ended up with shengo, yeah??

2) american idol: i am LOVING idol this year. i wasn't sure what the new panel of judges would be like, but honestly.... couldn't be happier. who knew that steven tyler had such a heart. i seriously cried when he took such care and compassion when meeting chris medina's fiance julie at the beginning of the season. he is a true softie. notice how he is so tender with how he critiques the competitors... love. jennifer lopez... sigh. man is she ever gorgeous! like, how is that even possible? she looks amazing every single show, and i always find myself a bit captivated be her pretty self. she is super sweet too. randy seems to have turned into the hard ass of the bunch, yeah? but that's cool, there's gotta be one, and im really glad there is no mean-ness in the critisim provided. each judge really seems to come at the contestants from a loving place and i like that. as far as the contestants go... i LOVE casey! he is UHmazing. i also love lauren alaina, and though i was a bit bored with her last night, i think she will do very well in this competition. my other two faves are haley and paul. love their sound, style and swagger. seems like everyone else is really good (minus naima- don't love her! and ashton kinda blows too) this year... so it'll be fun to see what pans out over the next few weeks.

3) charlie sheen: the bottom line is that it is really, really, really sad what is going on. i feel sorry that we as a society are flocking to this man and his sad situation, and giving it so much attention. once again- we just can't get enough of bad things happening to other people, can we? we love to watch people fall on their face, all so we can laugh it up, and talk about what kinda idiots they are behind their backs, right? anyway, i am a bit burdened for charlie. especially his family. i think that addiction is a very serious thing, and it saddens me that he is choosing to (and has been given the opportunity to) completely fall apart in such a pubic way. ladies and gentlemen- this man has children! STOP buying stupid shit that says "winning" like t-shirts and ringtones! STOP watching the interviews. STOP encouraging this. recognize that this guy is sick and needs help and giving him any attention at all, is only encouraging the behavior... just like a child... it's very simple. the whole thing kinda makes me sick though. seriously.

4) movies: so eric and i watched 'for love and other drugs' this weekend, and though it was a bit risk-ay, i kinda thought it was awesome. it was well made, it told a story, it had a good, happy ending, it taught people about what real love truely is, and how it completes you when you find it. yes, anne hathoway gets nakey snakey, and yes, jake gyllenhall is a bit of a man whore, but all in all, i liked it a lot!

5) let's talk a bit about lady gaga: so yeah- i still don't get it. while i do find myself whole heartedly enjoying her new 'born this way' song, i still don't get HER. and the thing is... i think she kinda means for it to be that way. it's like she prides herself on being a "freak" and is doing so to give hope to the younger generations who find that theyre not fitting in with the typical jocks at school... but honestly- it's like she's taken this "freak" stuff to a whole new level. i don't get the hair and make up, i don't get the ridiculous outfits, i don't get the songs... i just don't get any of it. and this is coming from a girl who was NOT "the popular jock", the girl who tends to like and appreciate differences. basically though- i usually am left a bit confused with her. it's like she tries so hard to be different... i dunno.

6) lindsey lohan: so isn't today the day she goes before the judge again? if not today, it's sometime this week... this girl... sigh. sheesh. well, first of all, i loved her when she was younger. parent trap, duh. i loved her in mean girls. i loved her in freaky friday. but what's happened? is it the family drama that's sorta brought her down? was she just another victim of child super stardom? i dunno. but i do hope she goes to jail and learns her lesson. comes out clean, and pulls her life together so we can all go back to watching her in movies.

7) teen mom 2: let's talk about it. so yeah- love leah and corey. they definitely have their hands full, with not one but TWO baby girls, while being teens, and now dealing with one of the twins' special needs. wow, that's a lot for anyone, but especially a teenager. i think leah is so beautiful, and am happy to see her happy with corey. chelsea.... so sweet from day 1. a good mommy for sure... but naive. naive in the way that i was naive when i was young. choosing the have these idealistic ways of thinking, and just "knowing" that everything was going to turn out just as id hoped. i feel bad for her now that she's feeling the backlash of letting adam back into her life.. especially now that he's gone again. kailyn and jo. well first of all, jo thinks he is some kind of a hard ass, and is obviously a complete idiot.did you know he was arrested for being under the influence of the ganja last week? and yet he wants to act like kailyn is such a bad mom. i do think kailyn wants the best and is right to say that she doesn't think moving into their own place would be a wise decision. can't wait to see how that one pans out. and lastly, jennelle... i feel SO bad for jennelle. and not because she is so innocent and never messes up either. but because her mom is like a mother from hell. just the sound of her voice sends chills up my spine. nothing is everrrrr good enough. she's so mean, and so tough, and has a temper that just goes at any given moment. jennelle needs to peace out on keifer though, he's lame. i really hope she pulls it together. smoking pot isn't going to help her situation for getting jace back... but man! her mom is terrrriiiibbbllllleee!

8) so did everyone see gwenyth on glee this week? i totally thought she rocked it! she kinda rocks anyway, but i continue to find myself impressed with her vocal skills. it's not like she's got a lot of depth in her voice... but it's still good and i really enjoyed her on this weeks episode. i did hear she is talking to different labels about the possibility of doing an album. we'll see about that.

9) jon gosselin: so apparently, jon isn't doing so hot after peacing out on kate a year or two ago. im sad about that. i always liked jon, and kinda understood when he finally decided to stand up for himself with kate. she was a hard one to keep happy. and sometimes when you're stressed, you tend to take that out on the person closest to you. for her... that was jon. i didn't necessarily love the way he bowed out (seemed kinda shady with all the partying and other women) but i understood why he felt he needed to go. apparently now, he's kinda down and out. he's working construction, and has a 1 bedroom apartment, not far from the family home in PA. i wonder what it would be like to be him for a day. i wonder what he thinks about, and if he thinks he made the right call leaving. i wonder if he is happy. i really hope he still sees his kiddies though- they were as cute as could be, and deserve a papa in their lives.

10) cee lo green. yeah that's right.i said it. cee lo and i have become good friends. good, good friends. loving his new song out, but i am sad to say that i bought the entire album and it is kinda terrible. one of those that has like one maybe two good songs, but thats it. the rest kinda stinks. so save yourself the $13 and just buy "forget you" on itunes. promise.
