Playboy`s Nov. Issue X Simpson`s 20th Ann.

Playboy opted for a more animated look for November`s issue by having Marge Simpson pose for the cover in honor of the Simpson's 20th Anniversary. There are definitely more frisky ones where this came from!

2009 MTV VMA's

So by now I'm sure you are all sick of hearing about the VMA's (since it seems to be the only topic of discussion the past week) but I figured I'd give my own personal critique about the show. Let's start off with the stage: MUCH better than last year's, which looked thrown together at the last minute. This year's staging and lighting was very well done. Russel Brand, the host, was fairly funny for most of the night but got a little annoying when he talked too much. I must agree with my fellow beScener who listed the Best Dressed in one of the posts below me, but I'd like to add a few people who she didn't list: Taylor Swift (who's Kaufman Franco dress was to DIE for), Beyonce (whose minimal make-up complimented her well), Lady Gaga's Jean Paul Gaultier lace & feathered frock (along with her Phantom of the Opera Mask---she's an artist and I loved it), and I actually loved Stephanie Pratt's dress (though not a fan of hers). As for the Worst dressed, I really hate bashing people on their style. However a few celebrities who left me unimpressed: Meagan Fox (with all the amazing dresses she's been seen strutting around she could have picked something better, Kristen Stewart (sorry to disagree with you Carla, but just because we love the movies doesn't mean we have to love the actress--i know i'm going to hear it from my girls for syaing this--and not only did the color of the dress not compliment her but it wasn't cute on her), Ashley Greene (her D&G skirt needed something more dazzling then the seperate she paired it with), Pink's performance ensemble (do I have to explain this?), and Lo Bosworth (yeah, ummm...cute but really not lol). As per the performances, I was very pleased with ALL of them! I felt everyone did an amazing job. Janet's opening Michael Jackson tribute was great (although she was off on a few steps), Lady Gaga's bloody performance left me absolutely speechless and jumping around in my room (glad she proved she can REALLY sing), Pink's Trapeze act was breathtaking and graceful (and took some balls), Greenday rocked out with everyone on their stage, Beyonce's lighting was absolutely PERFECT and her ensemble was a` la Lady Gaga sans pants, Taylor Swift put a smile on my face and made me want to ride a subway, Muse (who inspired Stephanie Meyer to write the Twilight books) was great also, and Wale & UBD (the band that sang during every intermission with various artists also on stage with them) did a great job! OF COURSE I'm ALSO going to diss Kanye for being such a DOUCHE to the amazingly talented Taylor Swift. I love your work Kanye, but honestly, you can thank that little attitude of yours for leaving empty handed from the VMA's and why everyone BOOED everytime your name was mentioned ;> Big ups to Beyonce, whose class still astounds me, for giving her Video of the Year moment over to Taylor and allowed her to finish her speach. That made me want to tear lol. Oh, and I can't leave out that the New Moon Trailer (which I posted below) now has me DESPERATE for the release date! All in all it was a great, entertaining show!

Who says we're whack...You take it back!

So I don’t think anyone missed the oh-so-pleasant intrusion of Taylor Swift's thank you speech for her MTV Music Award for “Best Female Video” by the “Great and Almighty” Kanye West. I thought the little kid days of squashing a persons joyful moment were over? Question Mr. West: if you were giving a thank you speech for the recognition of the hard work you’ve done throughout the year and some kook with a bad hair cut got up on stage and just rudely interrupted you while you did your thang on stage, how would you feel buddy? So not cool. Not to mention that you’re a 32 year old man and she’s a 20 year old girl who just surpassed her pre-teen years. Whatever happened to staying classy and being humbled by your peers? Not saying Beyonce shouldn’t have won [which let me say, Beyonce you are a true woman and your ability to be so compassionate and humbled is what the music industry needs] but with all do respect, Mr. West give credit when the credit is due and at the appropiate time. Bad mouthing artists only gets you so far. Remember you work in an industry where your fans make your pockets fat. If you ain’t got your fans, you ain’t got that green buddy! STOP BURNING YOUR BRIDGES. It’s a shame that such a talented artist can be so narrow minded. Keep it real homie…keep it real.
