The Dude is Deluded.

Theo and I's new thing this summer has been watching NYC Prep. We hate everyone. Everyone, except Sebastian. Oh dear, dear Sebastian who thinks that he can speak French. He is deluded, il est un fou.

He may not speak French very well, but there is one thing that he...well, he doesn't do this very well either, but he flips his hair. A LOT. It's almost like a body tick, and I'm pretty sure he should never play poker.

He has this idea of himself as some sort of surfer-esque player dude...but it is pretty lame. You'll see below. His hair flip is almost like he's trying to hold his head up when he starts thinking too hard. Sean did it SO much better on Boy Meets World.

You soon shall see what I mean, because those fabulous people at Bravo have put together a montage of every.single.one of Sebastian's hair flips. From the whole season.

Yeah, I know. Here you go- Merry Christmas. Happy Birthday.

Alexa, My Hero.

As one of our sister blogs, aWAKEning reported earlier, Alexa Chung is the ish. After I read their article, I was curious, and caught the show one day.

Now I have to warn: before this show, I had a strict absolutely no-MTV policy. Their shows provoke an uncontrollable anger in me, and I have learned that it's better for those around me if I stay away. The Real World (they were terrible after Hawaii), Parental Control? Remember that one where someone would go on a date with your mom and then decide who they wanted to go out with? Interesting social experiments, I admit, but horrible, horrible examples of humanity. A showcase of people who need to be neutered.

I made an exception for It's On With Alexa Chung, and I am so glad I did. She is so funny! Maybe it's her British accent, or her awesome clothes...it's all of it. She is just the ultimate ish.

Alexa Chung is my new hero, joining Zooey Deschanel. Oddly enough they are both dating musicians. Does that say something about me?

I am currently watching on Top Chef with Zooey as a guest. Will blog about that later.

Shaq throws down a twitterifc gauntlet

Love Shaq, love him so much.

He just cracks me up and I can't wait for him to retire and do commentary because I'll be hanging off of every word he says. Do I have a crush? No, not at all. He's like a three year old, I can't understand a lot of what he says, he's some what disgusting and totally self centered, but then they give you a sticker and it's all okay. I love him like that.

But, anyways, Shaq is a twitter whore. He loves it and probably uses it like texting. And, now that he has a show to promote, "Shaq Vs" (bad title, I'm waiting for... the rest of the sentence), he's taken it upon himself to find fellow athletes he can compete against.

Most recently:

"Dear David Beckham. I know you have heard about my Shaq Vs show, anyway u will never score a goal on me. I challenge you, lil' man. David Beckham, I know you hear me. Don't be scared, don't make me call u out. Don't make me Tweet to two million people that yur scared of Shaq."

My money is totally on Becks, but Shaq will get his ratings cause if he can do one thing he can hype.

HAPPY 100!

HAPPY 100, popYEAH!

Finally we reveal: Go to 1:06 to find out where we got our name!

My Paper Heart has ripped

Rumors have been floating around that Michael Cera is a huge jerk and his recent success has gone straight to his head.

I am now inclined to believe this. Yesterday, news broke that he and his real life girlfriend and co-star of Paper Heart have broken up. And, he is the one person holding up Arrested Development. And,what's AD without George Michael? Not as funny... still funny, but less.

Cera and Charlyne Yi were dating for the past three years, which, let's face it, is longer than a lot of marriages. Sources are coming forward and blaming a wandering eye on his part. Blah, so typical. Lanky guy in the biz finally goes mainstream and can't remember those that were with him from the start.

Poor Charlyne, which reminds me of my favorite Anthony Hamilton Song - 'Charlene'. Love that song, here's the video.

--Update: Charlyne just commented that they have never dated. Whoops! Oh well, he's still a jerk about the Arrested Development thing. That is enough to garner hate from me.

--- Damn, that's what I get. Sorry, readers. Even I should check my facts!!
HAPPY 100 and one!

Duff Love.

I used to have no feelings whatsoever about Hillary Duff. She was just one of those whatever people, but now I've been wanting to blog about her for a while now. So after doing the whole Disney thing, she kind of went away for a bit, then did a guest spot on Law and Order: SVU and didn't totally suck, which is huge points in my book, and now... I LOVE her.

First of all, she's dating hockey player Mike Comrie and isn't a total ass about it like that Stepford Carrie Underwood, and she's not a total stick. Well, don't get me wrong, she isn't in any way pudgy either, but let's just say...she's won the Lindsay Lohan/Hillary Duff feud for more reasons than there are stars in the sky, one of them being that Lindsanity eats about as much as a dead person.

Duff started filming for her stint on Gossip Girl where she plays Olivia, some sort of star who goes to NYU with the "gang" and ends up rooming with Vanessa, and then becomes a romantic interest for Dan "I'm So Boring it Hurts" Humphrey. Gross. Hopefully my love for her can survive that yuck.

Seriously though, how adorable is she? Also, I'm pretty sure she is 5' 2'', like me, or somewhere close to that, which gives me hope for us short girls. Which I need because Theo informs me every chance she gets that the so-called Short Gene needs to be bred out of society. I am not allowed to marry someone under 6' so that humanity has a chance.

Big FML, but Hillary Duff GMH, for shorties, and because she can pull off hats. Girls know how impossible that is.

PS: THIS IS OUR 100TH POST!!! Now that's popYEAH!

The Storyteller.

Here's some new music for you kiddies: Brendan Benson. Probably most well known as a founding member of The Raconteurs- yes, they are more than Jack White's personal band de jour- although he was pretty well established before the band.

He is releasing another solo album on August 18, My Old, Familiar Friend and after sampling a couple tracks, I love it. You can really see where The Raconteurs get their pop-strength with amazingly tight hooks sound. If that makes sense. So if you like the Beatles, a little bit of those old days of rock 'n roll with a sprinkle of Motown, you'll love this guy. Actually, I'm fairly certain he has something for everybody.

To be honest, sometimes Jack White's voice annoys the hell out of me. One time I was listening to Together and I remember thinking, "Ughh shut up Jack White I want to hear more of that other guy!" Now my wish has come true. Whole CD's of the other guy. Sweet.

Listen to Whole Lot Better, a song that I will be spending a lot of time dancing to in the future from his upcoming album.
