how was your weekend?

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I know, they never seem long enough. This is what I did this weekend.

Friday:
Trivia! There is a Buffalo Wild Wings near me that hosts trivia on Friday nights, I LOVE Trivia. We had won something the past couple weeks, but this week we SUCKED. Expect for the fact that I won a beat :) The final question was which one of these shows premiered in the 80's. Two of the options were Benson and Roseanne. Now Roseanne is one of my FAVORITE shows ever so of course  I know the answer. Michael thinks its Benson, the team believes me and thats what we put. Michael swore up and down it was Benson so I bet him whoever is wrong will clean the house. Of course I WON! I am still waiting for the house to be cleaned, but bragging rights are so much sweeter.

Saturday: 
Slept in pretty late, it was awesome! Then ran some errands w/ Michael, came home made lunch (well more like linner, you know lunch and dinner). Caught up on some of the shows saved on the DVR and finished the invitations! I will take photos and do a separate post later.

Sunday:
Slept in (I know bad...should of gone to church). I had given my mom a massage/facial gift certificate for mothers day and even made the appointment for her. I know I am an awesome daughter! I went and saw this awesome movie:

I HIGHLY recommend it. Especially if you are a movie buff/fan like myself. I LOVE Christoph Waltz, especially in Inglorious Bastards. My good friend who say the movie w/ me read the book and said it was pretty spot on. Except the movie does not let you know that Christoph Waltz's character has sczhophernia, and that is why he acts like he does. I don't want to give to much away, but it really is a good movie.

Then of course I couponded and watched Celebrity Apprentice! NeNe...WHY DID YOU LEAVE! I am back to not liking you anymore...but SPOILER ALERT - Meat Loaf is AWESOME! He kicked Star off :) The top 4 have been chosen - Jon Rich (I think he will be in the bottom 2, hopefully win!), Marlee Matlin (I also love her!), Meat Loaf (love him!) and Lil Jon (who saw that coming, but I love him as well!) This will be really good! I think it will come down to Jon Rich and Marlee Matlin, but anyone could take it!


I hope everyone else had a fun weekend. Next week's doesnt look as fun, going to be recovering from my surgery. I will update you all later!

30 Day Photo Challege: Day 6

Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day

I know you must be thinking...What? I admire Tom Hanks for his career. He has had a very long respectable career and who can't admire that. He has been married for like ever and stays out of the tabloids and gossip. I want to see what its like to be a HUGE respected movie star. 

Don't Do it CBS!

Most view this man as either a genius (say what!) or a crazy guy (ding ding!). I am over all the Winning and DUH comments. It really is a sad train wreck to watch. Now it seems Charlie Sheen is putting foot into mouth. After nonstop bashing on his former CBS bosses and coworkers he is now saying he wants to come back. My guess...he needs some cash. I REALLY hope CBS says NO WAY! I have never heard of someone being fired then hired again. 

Stand your ground CBS, he needs to hit rock bottom. 

The only person coming out of this looking good - Denise Richards, I bet she is sitting back saying I TOLD YOU SO! 

Demi Lovato opens up to Seventeen

I was glad to read that Demi Lovato is finally opening up about her recent short rehab stay. If you did not hear about this (happened around the holidays) she checked herself into rehab for emotional stress and other issues. She opened to Seventeen Magazine about what was going on. You can view the online article HERE.

I could not imagine trying to get through your teenage years while in the spotlight. My mom and I recently discussed this and talked about Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. In the article Demi Lovato discusses dealing with eating disorders and emotional issues.

I do hope this article does sink in with the teenagers who read the magazine. Who doesn't remember being awkward, emotional, and feeling lost as a teenager. You are walking a fine line between being a kid and an adult and I remember the feeling of trying to be perfect and thank God I was not in the Disney spotlight.

duets

Last night Michael and I were flipping back and forth between the American of Country Music Award show and Celebrity Apprentice. I am glad we were able to catch the great duet of Carrie Underwood and Steven Tyler! I am a Aerosmith and Steven Tyler fan. Who doesnt love that voice! In case you missed it check it out -

Old Hollywood

I love old Hollywood. One of my favorite movies ever is Casablanca, Judy Garland is one of my favorite performers of all time and well the late Elizabeth Taylor was always stunning.

I saw an article today that letters Elizabeth Taylor wrote to her first fiance (as you know there were many) are going up for auction. The letters were written by 17 year-old Taylor to William Pawley. I dont know why but I have always looked to Elizabeth Taylor and her scandalous love life as intriguing. She was breaking the mold the best she could for the time. Why has this kind of beauty gone out the window?

I love old movies and old Hollywood glamour.

would you change your name?

An article on OMG today was about celebrities real names. Here is some of the list:

Martin Sheen real name (Ramon Estevez)

Lady Gaga real name (Stefani Germanotta)

Meat Loaf real name (Marvin Lee Aday)

Charlie Sheen real name (Carlos Estevez)

Pink real name (Alecia Moore)

Judy Garland real name (Frances Ethel Gumm)

Miley Cyrus birth name (Destiny Hope Cyrus)

Katy Perry real name (Katheryn Hudson)

John Wayne real name (Marion Morrison)

Fergie real name (Stacy Ann Ferguson)

Gene Simmons real name (Chaim Witz)

Mark Twain real name (Samuel Clemens)

Would you create a stage name? In some cases I am glad they did. Poor Judy Garland being born with the names Frances Gumm and well Katy Perry would of been confused with Kate Hudson all the time. And  John Wayne sounds so much cooler then Marion Morrison.  I know there are MANY more celebrities who use stage names instead of their real ones. 

Would you change your name?

Niki Taylor got fired while keeping her reputation

I have mentioned before my love for "reality tv" well right now one of my favorite shows is "Celebrity Apprentice" (who doesn't love the Donald!).

Last nights episode Gary Busey was the mens project manger and they won! (say what?! yup i know!) I can see why they did (Gary needs to thank everyone but Jose). Since the women lost (because they are quite stupid this year) Niki Taylor took the blame (she was the project manager), she wouldn't bring back anyone to the boardroom and was fired. BUT I think she handled herself with class. She lost, but not for lack of trying. She refused to cat fight, argue or look stupid (like Star Jones or Dionne Warwick). She may not have won the show, but she has kept her reputation. And I say GOOD FOR HER!

I am excited for next week! Go Meat Loaf and Jon Rich!

Celebrity Apprentice is back!

Michael got me HOOKED on Celebrity Apprentice last season and I rooted for Bret Michaels all the way to the end. The new season premiered last night in all its crazy Donald Trump glory.

The cast is interesting -
Gary Busey
Meatloaf
David Cassidy
Mark McGrath
Jose Canseco
Dionne Warwick
Richard Hatch
NeNe Leaks
Marlee Matlin
LaToya Jackson
Hope Dworaczyk
Lisa Rinna
Niki Taylor
Lil John
Star Jones
John Rich

I am rooting for John Rich, Meatloaf and Marlee Matlin. Watching last night I realized the big players are going to be Richard Hatch (makes sense, but he is a jerk), Jose Canseco (fyi he looks like a GIANT), and John Rich (pulled in BIG $$).

I hope Star Jones and Ne Ne Leaks go quick, they annoy me! And well its def going to be interesting with Gary Busey.

I will keep watching and I hope you get sucked into the trashyness as well!

Lady Gaga is an evil genius

For those who dont know I am slightly in love with entertainment. Movies, music, tv, celebrities, you name it I know it. My celebrity knowledge surprises people. Its sad I know, but hey its my special gift. 

Lady Gaga...you know her, you either love her or hate her. I love her. I love that she likes to make people slightly uncomfortable. Her music is catchy, some songs get annoying pretty quick, but hey they are good work out music. She is an evil genius. People don't seem to like her crazy outfits, but how many paparazzi photos do you see of her? Exactly...rarely! cause no one knows what she looks like under those crazy outfits! She can live her life without the paparazzi bugging her all the time. Genius I tell you. 

She knows how to use the media and good for her!

What famous person who would you like to meet?

In college I interned at a local radio station and had a lot of fun and got to meet a handful of celebrities the 6 months I was there, mostly people from American Idol and Nick Lachey!Anyway...I like to think of my top favorite celebrities I would like to meet/interview  and what I would pick their brain. Don't ask why because well I do not have an answer for you. Here is my list.

1. Quentin Tarrentino - again, I was a film minor in college. I LOVE movies, especially his! To work with him on a film would be my dream. His films are in your face, funny, and always a nod to something and someone who helped make film what it is now.

2. Leonardo DiCaprio - again its all about movies with me. He is an AMAZING actor and ever since he little wild days of his 20's he now only chooses to do amazing movies. How does he chooses the films he does?

3. Tom Hanks - see a pattern here? his film career is astounding! is there a character he hasnt played?

4. Dr. Drew Pinksey - yes, from Love Line and Celebrity Rehab. People laugh and my fiance rolls his eyes at me when I say I like him and would love to meet him. Who didnt listen or watched Love Line. Yes, his newer show, Celebrity Rehab sounds stupid, but he is helping people. He understands that if you are a famous actor or musician you are usually very sensitive, have a crazy childhood, trauma and mental instability. They are drawn to drugs and alcohol because of their mental stability and not necessarily because they are famous and spoiled. He is a hard ass on these "celebrities" and actually helps a lot of people. So back off Dr. Drew because he is awesome :)

5. Now if I could choose someone who has passed I would choose Judy Garland. Man, that voice! She reminds me of my grandma :) They sounded similar when singing. No one sings like that anymore. She was beautiful and talented but also haunted by her craft. I would just want to sit and chat for hours!
