The lawsuits between Harvey Weinstein and Jeff Zucker/ NBC Universal has finally been settled. So the much embattled season six will finally air! Yay!

Tom Brady's women are fighting

Gisele recently said in an interview that Tom Brady's child is 100% hers. Bridget Moynahan has allegedly responded. And by responded I mean someone who claims to be a close friend tipped Page Six to say Bridget's pissed Gisele is using her child for publicity. Hopefully Bridget will take the high road and not come out with an official statement for her own sake, but considering her sexy mom spread she did after she gave birth, I have a feeling she'll speak out to get some relevancy.

Michelle Obama CAN WE CARE ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE

Okay, so Michelle Obama is smart, talented and beautiful. However, why, why does the media care so much about her arms and her fashion choices? Why does she have to be reduced to a series of clothes and arm shots? I am getting sick of hearing all about her dresses and clothes and how she went to London wearing one outfit and exiting the plane wearing something completely different. I wish we could focus on her other talents other than her sartorial choices. Not to get all jezebel-y neo-feminist, but why do we have to turn all women into fashion statements? Is it just because everyone wants her to be the new Jackie O? Do you think 40 years from now people will be trying to emulate her style? Would it then be worth all this coverage?

Lady GaGa on American Idol

Lady Gaga graced us live on American Idol with her pantless presence. Now, I realize my roommate and I are the last two people on earth tuning into American Idol each week, so you might have missed this, but the girl wore a ZIPPER over her eye. Yes, a ZIPPER was glued over her eye. I am writing this as it is being performed, so right now there are not pictures to corroborate my story, but trust me. Or Google it. Either way. All I know is this girl will do anything to distract you from really looking at her.

FYI

I am now writing for another site, http://www.mauvaislangue.com/ you can see my articles posted under my name. I'm trying to figure out what to do content-wise, and right now I'm generating independent content for each. I'll let you know if anything changes!

Downsizing, not just for regular people!

Chad Michael Murray is allegedly being cut from the cast of One Tree Hill next season. How does the media know this? He apparently told a fan. Said fan taped the conversation and posted it to youtube. E! transcribed the tape and went to work contacting reps for Murray and the CW. No one has confirmed, but the video has been yanked by the user off of the site. Chad Michael Murray is such a wanker, I don't blame the CW for wanting to cut his character.

Twilight, it's good if you don't pay attention

I will admit to reading all four of the Twilight books or the whole 'saga' as author Stephenie Meyer calls it. I will also say that I like them, it's like Harry Potter for girls. To deny Twilight's enormity is impossible. It has spawned a teen abstinence movement, sells out of bookstores, and made huge stars out of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Now that we know Twilight is recession-proof, as it sells out on DVD and singlehandedly saved Hot Topic from shitty sales due to branded products, I thought I'd give the movie another chance.
I saw the movie when it came out in the theater with a friend and we laughed through the whole thing because it just seemed so cheesy. Now that it's out on DVD, I've been reading a ton of reviews about how Kristen Stewart 'carried' the movie. So with the help of my boyfriend's Blockbuster movie pass, I rented it tonight. I watched with an open mind. I'll tell you though, I still don't see how you could watch it and enjoy it without already being a die hard fan. Stewart's performance is subtle, nuanced even, but honestly, if you don't have a working knowledge of the story from the books, I just can't see how it would be any good. I read somewhere that the use of music really enhanced the movie until they play Radiohead's 15 Step. I have to wholeheartedly agree. I actually downloaded two songs from the soundtrack after seeing the movie initially because I'd liked their choice of music, it really complements the whole feeling of the Twilight movement. I'd forgotten that while I watched and when 15 Step popped on at the last minute, it really is so bizarre. The whole movie plays songs like Muse, Linkin Park, and Paramore. In fact, Paramore contacted Twilight reps to get her music in the movie because she's such a huge fan and the song on the soundtrack she wrote especially for Twilight. Radiohead is not like those bands, and just doesn't fit the mood at all, but I truly digress.
All in all, not as bad the second time around, but that might have to do with a few things, the fact that I was catching up on my laundry, reading online and making dinner didn't keep me glued to the movie. Also, I've now read all of the books, so the little things that are revealed in the movie are interesting. Meyer really has created an interesting story arc for some of the characters. Oh, and Robert Pattinson is so hot.
