another (hot) mess of a post


Are you going to watch the new American Idol? Being frank with you I never do. I'll watch the outtakes on the news shows or what have you (Scooter Girl! remember her!!!!) but I think this time might be different because we have new judges including JENNIFER LOPEZ and STEVEN TYLER. I don't know how it will function without the antics of that crazy pilled-out bitch Paula Abdul but we will find out.

This summer is shaping up to be a good one for the Chautauqua Institution thus far. I haven't mentioned it before but homegrown talent Natalie Merchant (jealousyyyyyy) and banjo-plucking comedian extraordinaire Steve Martin (THAT one) will be doing shows for reasonable prices (like 39 dollars? I don't think that's too bad!) there. here are the deetz:

- Steve Martin: July 1 2011
AN EVENING OF BLUEGRASS AND BANJO
touring with the Steep Canyon Rangers

have you ever read one of his books? he's a damn fine writer. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALL THE LUCK. he also hit on Tina Fey when she was a writer for SNL. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALL THE LUCK. I'm gonna go pretend I'm Tina Fey and let him hit on me. then I'll write about it here.

- Natalie Merchant: July 8 2011
her new album was supposed to be very good. I refused to listen to it. SORRY NATALIE I LIKED YOU WITH 10000 MANIACS

oh, here's something weird: according to last.fm, Lykke Li and the remaining members of 10000 Maniacs are playing a show together. okay, ????

> - WHAT DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH LYKKE LI? I DON'T GET IT. seriously that's like oh hey Robyn, do you want to do a show with Hootie and the Blowfish, we hear the Blowfish aren't that busy lately? I HOPE THAT'S SOMEONE'S IDEA OF A SICK JOKE.

new albums that are so fast coming out:

- THE SOUNDS- Something To Die For- March 29
track listing as follows
“It’s So Easy”
“Dance With The Devil”
“The No No Song”
“Better Off Dead”
“Diana”
“Something To Die For”
“Yeah Yeah Yeah”
“Won’t Let Them Tear Us Apart”
“The Best Of Me”
“Wish You Were Here”
they are certainly not the best band out there, but they are fun. and attractive and Swedish. isn't that enough?

- THE DO (ep out now)

- THE BOXER REBELLION (not the Manchurian political movement, the band)
who are
Radiohead
+ Editors
+ Australia
- some talent
I like them anyway, but I always feel a need to be real with my readers. always.
THE COLD STILL will be out on FEBRUARY 8, 2011.

---- (more serious)

at 11 AM tomorrow there's supposed to be a moment of silence for the recent tragedy in Tuscon, Arizona. presidential decree and all. please do it. and keep those affected in thoughts/prayers. thank you.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
