Dear Diario...

Callie got ahold of the camera.  Here is her story...

Pick Away.

American Idol Semi-Finals have started and we have 3 contestants in the Finals...Alexis, Michael, and *DANNY* (not that I'm biased or anything).  SO, this week we have a new batch of a dozen hopefuls vying for the spot to stand next to Seacrest a little longer.  Who wouldn't want that??  My picks this week are Adam Lambert (hello, gorgeous....and was a part of the national tour of WICKED!), Jasmine Murray (loved her from day one, I think she's totally cute), and Matt Giraud (kinda ug to look at and he's way too into himself, but the man's got a great voice, no doubt).  I think the wild card show is gonna be real interesting.  Anoop?  Ricky?  TATIANA?  What a whirlwind.

Flippy Floppies.

You know I had to.  HAD to.  

Brit Happens.

Heard of Girls Aloud?  Uhhhhh, you should.  They're an amazing girl group created from one of those Popstars tv reality competition shows...with the exception that they actually produce hit after hit and they show no sign of slowing.  "The Promise" was released last year and it was a giganto single.  Huge.  They performed at the Brit Awards recently and the performance was totally duchess.  Give us fluffy pink feather fans and glitter anyday, ya heard.

I Don't Like You.

What's today?  WHAT'S TODAY?!  It's Un-Valentine's Day, that's what it is.  While the rest of the world 'celebrates' that Hallmark holiday tomorrow, we will be partying up Un-Val style.  So I ask you to rip up an old picture, drunk dial an ex, and/or make a bad decision or two.  Yes, it's about hating those failed relationships of your tragic past...but more importantly, it's about celebrating your individuality and independence.  Celebrate YOU today.

Inspiration.

Jennifer Hudson's back on the scene, y'all.  Looking as gorgeous as ever and singing her heart out, the girl shined at the 2009 Grammys.  Her latest music video for "If This Isn't Love" just came out.  The song is amazing and so is she!  So, if you're having a bad day, you should do one of two things.... 1) Feel like a douchebag because compared to her you don't know what a "bad day" can truly be or 2) watch this video.  Everyone should strive to be more like Ms. Jennifer Hudson.

Weighing In.

So we know like evvvverrrrryonnnne is talking about Jessica Simpson being fat.  Fat?  She's not fat.  She's normal.  Well besides those mom pants.  But here's a theory we haven't heard yet...........Has anyone seen Ashlee lately?  Yeah.  She might be in there.  Chew on that one.

Acoustically Yours.

His name is Gabe Bondoc.  All you need to know is that I'm in love with him.  And you should be too.  Here's his take on "Forever" by Chris Brown...

Be a Man, and Watch a Chick Flick.

Just saw "He's Just Not That Into You" and I stumbled upon this little gem.  It's Kevin Connolly, Justin Long, and the ever-gorgeous Bradley Cooper poking fun at the genre by presenting "The 10 Chick Flick Cliches You Won't Find in the Movie."  HIL-arious.

Dakota Fanning, Woman of the World.

Dakota Fanning was just quoted with this statement...

"I remember when I was very little my idol was Britney Spears. I had just come to California and that's just who I wanted to meet. So I was in a store and she walked in and my jaw just fell to the floor. I started like sweating. I could not believe that I was meeting her. She told me that I was very cute. And I lost it -- I was so excited."

Okay, wait. When you were very little Dakota? So, like...when you were a fetus?  I hear the acoustics are amazing in the womb.  That's why I listen to "Womanizer" underwater whenever possible.

They grow up so fast.

Dear Diario...

Callie, our resident bilingual kitty, often writes in her "el diario" displaying all of her most precious thoughts.  Today we caught her in the act, and I think you'll be shocked at what she's thinking about...

Dear Diario,

Señor Ben had that girl Melanie come over today.  Her hair es muy fabulosa.  I hate her.

Muchos Besos,

Callie

Poppin' them Bottles.

The Pussycat Dolls' latest video for the hot hot hot "Bottle Pop."  At one point, it looks like Nicole slaps Melody for trying to sing lead when she's not supposed to.  Oh wait.  That was behind the scenes......WATCH IT.

Crackstreet Boy.

Backstreet Boy Nick Carter "exclusively" told People magazine recently that his battle with drug and alcohol abuse nearly cost him his life.  That's funny...I didn't realize he was still alive.  While I'm glad he's recovered, homeboy should pull a Chris Kirkpatrick and disappear.  I mean...would you miss him?  You haven't since 2001.

J-Mac Attack.

Okay.  We LOVE Jesse McCartney.  In fact, we just bought tickets to see him on Feb. 23 and we're really excited.  We're totally 13 year old girls......but we're not.  (7 sex offenders just found this site because of that statement) HOWEVER, what's with his cheeks lately?  There's like, extra skin pouches by his lips and it looks weird.  He's still cute, but my god what is he hiding in there?  Chess pieces?  Silly Putty?  Mary-Kate?  Oh Jesse....stop teasing us!

MotherTrucker.

You ain't got big balls like-a-truck!  You ain't got big balls like-a-truck!  What's sad is that I've seen these more than once....

Awareness: Kitty Ciggy.

I'm appalled at this discovery.  It's on the rise, folks...and it's an issue.  Next time you find your cat lightin' it up, stop - assess the situation, and rip that cancer stick out of their mouth.  Inform them it's not worth it.  They have such tiny lungs.  Think about it.

Bluffin' Muffin.

Self-proclaimed "retrosexual" Lady GaGa is tearin' up the scene with "Just Dance" right now, but does anyone realize she has another single out called "Poker Face"...??  It's like the radio playing "Womanizer" every 5 minutes even though "Circus" was released as a single after the album dropped.  Get with it, people!  While I love "Just Dance," let's move on.  Anyways, Lady GaGa did a special set of stripped down hits, including a piano-laced "Poker Face."  Ch-check it.  (Project Runway called, they want their hairstyle back...)

The First Dose.

Sugar Jerk (noun) : an enviable person with a sarcastic twist of sweetness.

Well, it only took 3 hours, 2 bowls of food, and an episode of "The Real World" to get this blog par-tay started.  So, here we are.  What can you expect?  Nothing, really......just your life taking a turn for the better.  We have opinions, we think we're funny, and I think we can all agree that Heidi Montag's breadth of work is mindblowing.  

We might use big words, we may get deep, but at the end of the day, everyone's a sugar jerk.
