True Blood Season 3 Teaser

Can I just say how excited I am for season 3 to hurry up and get here?  I'm so excited that this 17 second clip made me squeal and clap my hands.  Yeah, I know...

Season 3 In Production: Eric

Well, it's official

I posted recently that Jennifer Aniston, in my opinion, should go back to TV and forget about movies.  Well, it's now completely obvious that she's hell bent on ruining her acting career entirely.  She's signed on to do a movie with Heidi Montag.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Is she looking for more ways to make Angelina look better than her?  This isn't helping. 

Miley bashes country music

Oh, I can just hear the backlash now and it makes me giggle.  The brilliant Miley Cyrus had this to say about the music that made her Dad (and her) famous:

"It scares me� It feels contrived on so many levels. Unless you're wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots and singing and whining about your girlfriend or boyfriend leaving you it's not going to sell.  I think that's why my dad finally got out of it. You have to wear those cowboy boots and be sweet as pie. It makes me nervous, the politics of it all."

 

How much you want to bet Miley doesn't even know what contrived means?

 

Now, I do agree that some country music can be very old school twangy (Brooks & Dunn), but does she even know what she's talking about?  Has she listened to country music lately??  One thing I hate the most is when people talk about shit they obviously shouldn't be talking about.  I'm not the biggest country music fan, but I do have my favorites, and I'd like to clarify to Miss Cyrus that most of the country music that's popular today is more pop country, with groups / individuals singing about more than just a break up.  The song "Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood?  That song makes me cry almost every time.  What about "All I Want to Do" by Sugarland?  That song makes me smile and feel happy.  And I can't forget "Fancy" by Reba.  Seriously, one of my all time favorite songs ever! 

 

Oh, and Miley, nice cowboy hat.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

I'd like to thank Ireland for this:

Ava Anderson Non-Toxic cosmetics

I don't always take into consideration what is actually in my make-up, however I always check to make sure it's vegetarian / vegan and not tested on animals.  But, the other ingredients?  Very rarely do I take pause to find out what exactly I'm putting on my face and body.  Fairly surprising considering I try to live a green life and eat ethically!

Ava Anderson is a new line of products with a zero ingredient score on the Environmental Working Group's cosmetic safety database, are made in the USA, are vegan, are cruelty-free, and of course are 100% non-toxic.  The mascara I used to use, L'Or�al Voluminous Mascara, has an ingredient score of 5, meaning it's a moderate hazard.  The mascara that I use now, Covergirl Exact Eyelights, scores a 9, the highest hazard possible!  No wonder my eyes have been bothering me.

Founder and CEO Ava Sprague Anderson (um, she's only 16 years old, people!!!) takes pride in her new line of products.  On Ava�s packaging, in the largest letters possible, you will find a list of ingredients, as she is proud of them and has nothing to hide. You will never see the words �key ingredients� or �active ingredients�, leaving you to guess what other ingredients are in there.

There is a skin care line of cleanser, exfoliator, toner, moisturizer, eye makeup remover pads, and a sugar lip scrub. The lip color collection was just revealed on Saturday at the company's first convention. There are four lipsticks and four lip glosses and they are colored with things like beet juice and flower extracts, have no petroleum products or artificial chemical colorings, and smell really nice (think shea butter, beeswax, & mint). They are also naturally antibacterial, antioxidant rich, and have a natural SPF of 6.

The men's line, baby line, additional cosmetics, household cleaners, personal care products like soaps and deodorants are all on their way.  Ava's already been getting pretty great press coverage (Teen Vogue, Glamour, Vanity Fair) and there's no doubt that the press will continue.
 
My friend Heather just became an Ava Anderson rep, so check out her personalized website and feel free to email her with any questions.   

Final Sale on Piperlime

Piperlime's Final Sale reeks of deals.  Need a pair of tall boots for next season?  Try the Camper Mexico Boot, originally $300 but now available for $150.  Or maybe you want a bit of sass with a high heel?  Check out Daliah by Calvin Klein.

I just ordered the Mia Lady in snake black, originally $70 but now only $30.  Super cute with just a pinch of glamour. 

Since it's a final sale there are limited sizes, and don't forget to check out their final sale on handbags and jewelry, too. 

Celebrities without make-up

This is Sharon Stone pre make-up.  And, wow, this is some scary shit.  Who knew she was quite so fugly?  Look at those Austin Powers teeth.  Are those liver spots on her forehead?  Honey, you're going to need more than curly hair to make yourself look good.

Seriously, this guy needs to be pushed down

I will be the first to admit that I have definitely jammed out to a few Black Eyed Peas songs.  But, it doesn't mean that I find ANY member of the BEPs cool or not at all annoying as shit.  Case in point, Will. i. am. wore this ensemble to a post Oscar party on Sunday night.  Go ahead, click on the picture to enlarge it and then check out his pants. 

Seriously, dude, leave the drop crotch man-harem pants to Fergie.  Actually, those might be Fergie's pants... 

Gimme some of that brown sugar

Rmember R&B singer D'Angelo?  No?  Well, let me refresh your memory:

You've got to remember this video.  That man was sex on a stick!  I was in college when this video came out and I remember going out to by a VHS tape so that I could record it.  Oh, and I did and I used to watch it on repeat.  You'd think that this guy would have ladies falling down at his feet, right?  Not so much.  Apparently he was arrested over the weekend for propositioning an undercover cop for oral sex.  Oh how the sexy have fallen. 

Simon Cowell is engaged

Seriously, how shitty must his ex girlfriend be feeling right now?  After like ten years, they went their separate ways, mostly because Simon said he would NEVER marry.  Ever.  (See picture, where he's blatantly relishing in the fact he isn't wearing a wedding ring.)  And now he's engaged.  What a punch in the boobs.  Apparently he's talking babies, too.  I guess it's a good thing he's leaving AI after this season because no one wants to see a shmoompy Simon Cowell giving failing singers advice.  Instead of "I'm going to be honest, that was utter crap" we'd hear "I'm going to be honest, that made me want to pinch your wittle cheeks and give you a wittle raspberry on your roly poly wittle belly!"

My favorite train wreck is at it again

LaLohan just keeps getting crazier and crazier.  The newest item on her to do list?  Suing E-Trade for their latest "milkaholic" commercial.  In it, one baby refers to another baby as a milkaholic, who's name happens to be Lindsay.  She's really paranoid, huh?  According to LaCrazy's lawyer:

"Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. They used the name Lindsay. They're using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn't they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody's talking about it and saying it's Lindsay Lohan."

The most ridiculous part?  She's suing them for 100 million!  Good grief, it's not like she's Beyonce or Madonna or Jesus. 

This leads me to believe that we might be hearing a similar case from Cameron Diaz regarding the Orbitz commercial below.  From what I've heard, Cam was dubbed THE lint licker years ago. 

 

Oscar Fashion - HITS

There was a lot of berry colors on the red carpet last night and, of course, there were definitely a few lovely ladies that stood heads above the rest. 

I can't believe I'm going to say it, but one of my top favorites of the evening was Kristen Stewart.  I know, I know - GASP!  I loved her dress but I definitely think she needed some kind of accessory.  As in, bling, not a handsome brooding Brit.  She may have looked gorgeous but her awkwardness was still in full effect.  She really needs to take some public speaking courses.  It's just uncomfortable watching her address, well, anyone. 

Probably my favorite of the night was Elizabeth Banks.  Her dress was practically perfection. The color, the fit, the style.  She totally rocked it.  I was bummed not to see more of her during the show, especially since she presented rather quickly and then disappeared behind the stage.  But, big thumbs up to her for this selection.

I've given Anna Kendrick a rough time as of late with regards to some of her fashion choices, so I was pleased to see her looking very pretty in a blush colored Elie Saab gown.  I am also impressed with her performance in Up in the Air.  I had no idea the girl could act and yes, she can act.  Very well.  I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of her (outside of the Twilight Saga) to see what else she can bring to the table.

I didn't LOVE Sandra's dress, but I do think she looked stunning in it.  She was glowing and she gave one hell of an acceptance speech.  It was classy, funny, and moving.  Even though I haven't seen The Blindside yet, I'm happy to see that after 20+ years in the business, she's earned her Academy Award.  And, at 45, she looks amazing.

Another Dear John moment

Just in case you weren't entirely sure how much of a dirty donkey John Mayer really is, check out his latest tweet to Ke$ha:

"Dear Ke$ha, you have won me over with your tricks and charms and I must tell you I really like your song. Though I must add I tried brushing with a bottle of Jack and I chipped a tooth on the glass. Where might I remit an invoice?"

Given all the hoopla around John's recent interviews and the fact that he said he was taking a break from all media (um, John, Twitter is social media), it's apparent that he isn't the smartest guy in music (as a side note, apparently Kobe Bryant has the highest IQ in basketball).  And, it's pretty obvious that John really does always want to know where his next lay might be, and I have to agree, he'd probably be fairly successful getting into Ke$ha's pants.  Normally he serenades his victims with "Your Body is a Wonderland" before going in for the kill but in Ke$ha's case, he could probably score by serenading her with "Your Body Odor Reminds me of the Dumpster Outside My Apartment Building."

I do NOT keep up with the Kardashians

I don't watch the show, but I definitely know a thing or two about the Kardashians thanks to my celebrity gossip addiction.  One thing I definitely know is that Kourtney's boyfriend, Scott DickDick, looks like a totaly douchebag.  From the top of his greasy head to the awful gold watch to the loafers on his feet.  Yup, very douchey. 

On the other hand, Kourtney looks quite adorable in her black sweater and boyfriend jeans.  She seems to have fairly okay taste in clothing, just not men.  So sad.  I'm sure Kim and Khloe are desperately trying to get Kourtney to date an athlete.  I mean, hey, it's worked out so well for them, right?  I'm fine with it as long as it's not Michael Vick.  I've heard he eats babies.
