Kristen and Rob back together!


So, rumors have been flying for weeks that these two would get back together, but now it seems to actually be true. They were first caught on camera hanging out in LA, and THEN they were spotted at a friend's birthday party and Chateau Marmont celebrating. Supposedly they were all over each other and not trying to hid it from anyone. Well...Rob...what are you thinking???? She is clearly going to do it again...

Real Housewives Reunions!


Hello, my gorgeous fans. So, for the past 2 weeks, we have been given the gift of Real Houswives reunions from New York and New Jersey. The New York wives just had the first part of their reunion air on Monday, part two airs next week. The New Jersey wives have a THREE-PART reunion!!! You know why...because they are nuts, well, mostly Teresa. 

Teresa proved herself to be a nightmare. A total and complete, selfish, delusional nightmare. In her mind, she can do no wrong and she is just the star and the other girls are along for the ride. The big "To dos" in the first two parts are of course about Teresa telling everyone that Melissa was a stripper at the Posche Fashion Show (whatever that is). There was also a segment about Jacqueline's autistic son, which was SOOOOOO sad, and of course Teresa had to open her big, ignorant mouth and make it somehow about her. I can't believe her. Thank god Caroline, who I think looked really great, got Teresa to shut up by saying, "Listen, you and your f--king Christmas pageant dress, sit back and shut the f--k up, we're talking about this kid." Well said, Caroline...well said.

The most awkward of all was when Joe Giudice made an appearance. The whole room was silent and the women were trying to best to keep their mouths shut. Teresa and Joe grabbed each other's hands in a forced attempt at PDA.  Teresa made the big mistake of confusing Jacqueline's first husband and current husband cheating on her which made Jacqueline freak out and reveal that Joe was caught cheating with a secretary...yikes...next week Teresa and her brother, Joe, finally meet face to face and it looks like things get CRAZIER than ever...looking forward to it.

The New York Housewives were a little more restrained and a lot less delusional...besides Ramona. I mean, what would these shows be without at least ONE completely delusional woman...I guess New York has two because Sonja is pretty nightmarish as well, but they at least listen and discuss. Ramona is a tyrant though. I completely believe that she wanted to blackmail the countess about an incident with her daughter. She is a nasty lady. I genuinely felt bad for Sonja this season. She is just a walking time bomb. Also, her ex needs to settle with her, it's ridiculous. These men are SO rich! If not for your ex-wife, for your child, get it together and cough up the cash.

Anyway, the reunion made me change my opinion of a few of the wives. Aviva is just the worst, but she did attempt to calm down and apologize for being a crazy bitch in St. Barts. I like Carole during the season, but I found her SO unappealing at the reunion. She thinks she is SO above all of these women because of her pedigree and her profession, but...she DID sign on for this show, probably making it seem like she was doing it for research for her next book. She was nasty to Countess about the dress thing. Sure, Countess was probably trying to be a social climber, but the way Carole spoke to her was ruuuude and awkward. I don't blame Countess for being hurt.

Ramona is just the worst. Her dress was one of the most hideous things I've ever seen, she just thinks she is Queen Bee and doesn't owe anybody anything. Sonja actually looked AMAZING, loving the dress and hair. Countess looked understated and lovely as usual. Carole has the most wonderful clothes...but her face...yikes. I go back and fourth with Heather. Sometimes she seems like she could be a real girlfriend and others she's a little funny. She's definitely the least evil of these women though. Aviva's dress was weird...anyway, I am looking forward to the conclusions of both these reunions!!! Also, Andy Cohen is hot.

Pitch Perfect: Movie Review


Hello, my gorgeous, adoring fans! This past week I saw a few movies...some were good...some were not. I won't even get into the not so good ones...::cough::. The Master .::cough::. because while it is probably an important film with great performances, it is not an entertaining one. Anyway, Pitch Perfect is about as perfect as a fun, young, comedy can be. For the first couple minutes of the movie, there was some bad, awkward writing for Anna Kendrick's character, Becca, but because Kendrick is so likable and talented, it was okay and the movie quickly picked up from there. 

The premise is that a school's a girl acappella group bombed at the acappella championships the year before and were beat by the all boy group from the same school. Anna Camp who is the leader of the group got nervous and projectile vomited all over the stage and is left with her friend Chloe, played hilariously by Brittany Snow, to pick up the pieces and form a mostly new group and make it to finals. The girls manage to get a group together and thus a story of friendship, belting, music and acappella ensues. 

The cast is really great. The standout, of course, is Rebel Wilson as "Fat Amy." Pretty much everything she does is golden. The director seemed to let her ad-lib a ton and the things she does are just so funny. Everyone was very into her. Skylar Astin is also very likable as Anna Kendrick's love interest and sings amazingly...no surprise, he's a seasoned Broadway veteran...well...I guess that doesn't always mean you can sing these days, but he's good. Speaking of Anna Kendrick, she is really wonderful in the movie and sings very well. Interestingly enough, all the men were stronger singers than the women, but they all knock it out of the park. Elizabeth Banks was also very funny as the competition announcer. 

If you love musicals, singing, acappella, jokes about nodes, etc, RUN don't walk to this movie. Totally entertaining and made me feel like I was in high school again...in the good way. 

Adele's Bond song "Skyfall" leaked


Hello, my gorgeous fans! While I am normally an Adele fan, I am enormously underwhelmed with this snippet of Adele's new Bond song, "Skyfall." Boring writing, boring singing. Too bad, what an enormous missed opportunity for an awesome song. I mean, what happened to Bond songs like "Goldfinger?!" "Diamonds are Forever?!" "Moonraker!?" "You Only Live Twice?!" "Thunderball!" Even the song Garbage sang was better this this...hmmm...maybe there's a cool bridge? I can only hope. After listening to this, check out a good Bond song bellow it...







Nicki Minaj curses out Mariah Carey during Idol



Um...this looks RIDICULOUS! I have been sitting here trying to understand what La Minaj is going on about, but the sound is unclear. Basically it looks like Nicki is being a total brat and Mariah is trying to diffuse the situation and get her to shut up. I mean, I am SURE Mariah is a total nightmare, but I am sure she wouldn't go off on the rest of the judges like that. CRAZY!
