she's back...and then gone again

Viral videos littlest star, Pearl McKay, returns in this violent turn with Will Farrell. Turn it down, the language is strong and definitely NSFW.

love is work and work is love

So says an author who is quoted in this first video chunk from the documentary in progress called, "My Heart Is An Idiot". You can be a part of the documentary's editing process, the director gives you the details at the beginning of this video:

Kelly Clarkson needs a comeback before her album is even out...sad

I like Kelly Clarkson. We met her once before her concert with Clay Aiken, and she surprised me with how candid she could be about her blossoming her career. I suggested to her that she really needed to do an album in the vein of rootsy blues veteran Bonnie Raitt and she seemed truly interested in the suggestion. (FYI -- the duet she did with Jeff Beck on the Idol Gives Back special is EXACTLY what I'm talking about).

The stories of her recent troubles seem puzzling to me considering her apparent desire to succeed. This story gives quite a bit on insight into her predicament, and the fact that critics have been writing off her new album before it's even released.

Lesson learned -- always trust the money man until you get four or five top 100 albums under your belt. It's called the Bon Jovi strategy: After four albums they began experimenting, and could get away with it because they'd always follow it up with a pop sounding hit. Do you seriously think the country album they've done will do well? If it does, great, but if it doesn't, they still have millions in the bank.
Justin Timberlake is on the right track with this strategy.

driving that train, high on cocaine

Cocaine and driving never mix. Especially when you lead the cops into a cornfield to try and elude them.

5th grade meanderings

I was at my daughter’s 5^th grade “Certification” ceremony yesterday. Before the ceremony started, they were showing power point slide shows the kids had done for a media class. The title of the project was “All About Me” and the kids listed stuff they liked and wanted to be.

Most contained the typical stuff like “I like soccer”, “I want to be a vet” “I enjoy macaroni and cheese”, but everyone once in a while a little treat would show up on the screen for you. One kid said “I want to get rid of my sister”, while another had this one desire, “Just once,” it read, “I would like to beat my brother at something.”

While many of the kids professed a desire to be rich, one youngster was more specific: “I want one trillion dollars” he proclaimed. I was thankful that the next slide didn’t say, “No, seriously. One trillion dollars in small bills placed in a small bag outside my room before midnight and I’ll let my sister live.”

what IS a slattern anyway?

The best thing about this list of the "Top 10 Unintentionally Funny TV Intros" is that it compiles the opening credits to just about every guilty-pleasure '80s series that I can think of. Go there now to bask in the greatness of Head of the Class, Charles in Charge, My Two Dads and more.

I just love the whole "My Two Dads" discussion on the site. I never knew her Mom was a slattern.

want to slow dance?

I know these goofy magazine lists are meant to cause discussion, but who ever came up with this list of the best slow dance songs was smoking some serious crack.

"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"? A Pavement song?

What's your favorite slow dance song?

I always loved the awkwardness of slow dancing to "Stairway To Heaven" and "Come Sail Away". What do you do with your date when the song starts rocking out? Do you continue to clutch her and sway faster, or do you break apart and rock out?

another feel good story from Britain

Paul Potts was a cell phone salesman in his native Wales before he let loose with this performance on "Britain's Got Talent". He went on to win the whole thing.

if only the sopranos had used this version of the song...maybe the ending would have been better

another cute foreign girl singing

only this time the puzzle blocks hypnotize me...I kind of know how they did the special effects in this video, but the logic of keeping track of which block was which had to be maddening...

It's good thing I don't like to work around the house, because I'm sure in the long run I would create one of these home improvement nightmares. (via boingboing)

Here is one of the photos...I'll let you find out what's going on here on your own...

this kid made me cry

This is the video of the little girl who blew warmth into Simon's cold heart on the British TV show, "Britain's Got Talent"...I noticed that the British version of this show seems to be produced much better...

7707

Is 7/7/07 the most popular wedding day ever? This Time Magazine article comes as no surprise to anyone who's perused a wedding bulletin board lately.

It's certainly more popular than 6/6/06 was...

how long have you kept a movie before returning it?

I don't have a problem with this, but my kids have had "Over The Hedge" sitting in front of the TV for six months now. I guess the desire to watch it isn't that strong.

backwards and forwards

This video was taped backwards, causing some odd effects, not to mention headaches for the singer, who had to learn his lines backward...

don't stop believin'...hold on to that feeling...of anger and dissatisfaction...

Last night's finale of "The Sopranos" may go down in TV history as the biggest collective "Aw Crap*!" ever. Whether you thought the final black screen was fine art, or a big giant load of turd, rest assured, you checked your TV and wondered what the hell just happened before making your decision.

And what is up with the fascination in Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"? The song was used in "Family Guy", "Laguna Beach" and was the theme for at least two sports teams making title runs in the last four years. Is it some sort of symbol of our lost youth? An ode to not giving up? Or just lack of imagination amongst the hack writers of Hollywood? I'm going with number three.

Speaking of holding on to beliefs well past their expiration date: check out this NY Post story about the fans of one Clay Aiken. I'm surprised there was still a shred of doubt hanging in the air. I'm truly shocked.

what's that substance?

On the inside handle of Sarah's studio door was this mystery substance? Can you tell us what it is? Keep it clean, it's not THAT.

I always wondered what they were singing in that song...

When I was younger, my brother thought the Eagles' "Take It To The Limit" was "Ticket To the Olympics", and until recently I thought they were singing "strumming my face with his fingers" in "Killing me Softly". Ever get the lyrics of a pop song wrong...Think about it and let me know, in the meantime, enjoy Pearl Jam...

ever wonder what the mark up is on food?

The New Yorker has this great article on what things cost, and what businesses have the greatest profit margin. Who knew the mark up on crystal meth was so high? No pun intended.

Is this Johnny Depp?

I thought Johnny Depp was supposed to be hot. This isn't a very flattering cookie of Johnny. Then again, the whole idea of having a cookie of a movie character is scary to begin with.
