Most Annoying Couple Ever.


First of all, nothing annoys me more than Twitter, and Ashton Kutcher is guilty of perpetuating it just as much as he did those stupid trucker hats. What a wonderful three years of our lives those were.

Twitter takes fame whoring to a whole new level. Why are paparazzi even required these days, with twitter and twitter pic?

Let me tell you, if you had a near death experience, however mild, if the first thing you do is reach for your phone so that you can twitter about it...you're life is pathetic, and you probably should take that near death experience as a warning, to become less pathetic.

This is what Mr. and Mrs. Kutcher do presumably while still on the runway after their engine overheated and they had to make an emergency landing on a New York to Las Vegas flight:Yeah, let's make light of the situation. Huge joke. I'm sure Ashton was doing some super annoying cowboy yell when the plane was getting bumpy. Like,
"Yee-haw let's do that again! PS everybody, I use humor as a defense mechanism! I'm really scared shitless! I realize now that my life has meant absolutely nothing to the world, but I will forget this, should we land safely."

I assume it went something like that. Here's what the Mrs.'s had to say: If you had to make a legit emergency landing, would you still chill on the plane and take off again? Me, probably almost definitely not. I guess you would think the odds of something else happening are pretty slim, but still.

Anyways, like I said- Most Annoying Couple Ever.

The Girl Has...Everything.

Zooey Deschanel always reminds me of that song from The Little Mermaid.

Anyways, my fave was on Top Chef Masters last night. She was so adorable! The chefs were to cook a lunch for her and her friends, but there were some limitations, since Zooey is a Vegan and gluten-intolerant.

She was so adorable about it though! How cute is this- she had her mom at the lunch! Her mom looked totally normal, and they had the funniest little dialogue going. Le sigh. What doesn't this girl have?

500 Days of Summer is being released everywhere tomorrow. Will you be going? I know I will. I am SO there. Her and Joseph Gordan-Levitt? Yes, the girl does have everything.

Billy is Zane-y.

Sorry about the awful pun in the title. Couldn't help myself. LOVE Billy Zane. Why don't we see him in anything anymore? The last thing that I remember seeing him in is the t.v. mini-series Cleopatra where he played Marc Antony. Oh yes. You know I own it. I'm pretty sure Johnny Depp got the idea for Captain Jack Sparrow to have so much eyeliner on from Zane in that movie.

And of course, how could we forget his most famous work? His 30 second cameo in Zoolander.
Hansel has it right: "Listen to your friend Billy Zane. He's a cool dude."

He's right, he is a cool guy. Look at what's he's telling us in this picture- he likes the environment, cause he has a cool bike. He likes music. He likes to look good (oh yeah), he likes to read, because...glasses, duh. And he wears converse sneakers. That's enough to make me a lifelong fan. See Katherine Heigls and Swampthangs of the world? It's not that difficult to make me like you.

Ugh, but who cares about them. Zane. I could say that forever.

It's A Walk-Off

Too Cool To Wear Pants.

She is 16. What kind of 16 year-old is allowed out of the house like this? She looks like Courtney Love mixed with Britney Spears when she was walking around with her pockets hanging out of the bottom of her shorts and had no shoes on. Except Taylor does have shoes on. She has stripper boots on.

Once again, how does she get away with this??? I had a friend who had to put a quarter in her back pocket every time she went out, and if her father could see the outline of it in the fabric, then her shorts were deemed too tight and she would have to go change.

This is obviously not the case for Taylor "I'm so cool I drink bottled water with a straw" Momsen.

Ugh. Hate her.

Operation Get Ladies. (Insert Creeper Wink Here)

What the heck is he doing?? Ok, I know what he's officially doing- apparently he was jogging through downtown Vancouver, but what is he wearing? It looks like he's doing a very poor job of pulling an undercover operation in a cheesy Steven Seagal movie.

Creeper. What a creeper.

Fab Vlad.

Yesterday shirtless photos of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin surfaced. I'm not going to lie, before these pictures surfaced, I knew almost nothing about Putin. His name, pretty much.

According to Times Online he "buffed up his action-man image". True statement. Vlad is... kind of a badass. Kind of how I imagine Andrew Jackson to have been, you know? Like if Indiana Jones was elected to office.

Putin turns 57 in November, and apparently, "The photos will inevitably trigger mass swooning by women all over Russia... They will also confirm the Russian Prime Minister’s status as a gay icon." Putin is a gay icon? You learn some new, strange facts every day I guess. You know Anderson Cooper was all over this (What? You don't know about Putin?!) and Erica Hill probably made some corny-ass joke that should make me hate her, but instead makes me just go, "oh Erica, you're so silly." Cannot fathom why I don't am not repelled by her. I'll put that in the same category as my attraction to Shia LeBoeuf.

The former KGB officer and Judo black belt was promoted as a symbol of revived Russian power in contrast to the era of his drunken and sickly predecessor, Boris Yeltsin.

Mr Putin was also following a Soviet tradition of lauding the prowess, usually imaginary, of party leaders such as Leonid Brezhnev, who was fond of hunting for bears and wild boar. He grew so incapable towards the end that KGB officers would drug and tether animals to trees so that Mr Brezhnev could shoot them. President Medvedev, who has previously expressed a love of yoga, has so far refrained from emulating his mentor by stripping off for the cameras.

The pictures were taken just days after Putin completed his latest action adventure by diving to the bottom of Lake Baikal, the world’s deepest lake, in a mini-submarine.

During President Obama’s visit to Moscow last month Putin stole the limelight by joining a group of Hell’s Angels-style bikers called the Night Wolves. He dressed all in black, and pulled a wheelie.

That is so awesome. Vlad is on my new heroes list, along with Alexa Chung and Zooey.

Huh. I totally get the gay icon thing now.

True Love.

HBO's True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are engaged!

I only just started watching the show two weeks ago after my sister suggested-nay, ordered- that I watch it. My childhood taught me to not question her "suggestions". Once again, she was totally right, I absolutely love love love love True Blood. The writing and acting are phenomenal, and I never felt like it was stealing or copying the Twilight series, which I have to admit was my first reservation, because I've been over Twilight since I found out Stephenie Meyer is a twit and a terrible writer.

I've found that as my life progresses, Twilight becomes less and less significant. True Blood takes me back to the good old days of great Vampire novels: Companions of the Night, and of course the Anne Rice series.

It's a must watch. I caught up in 4 days watching on megavideo. It's addictive and I order everyone of you to watch it. I'm not as persuasive as my sister, so most of you will ignore me, the way Theo has. You will all be sorry when you finally see the light.

Ugh. I hate how Twilight makes me turn everything into a rant. Anyways, here's a overview of the first season to give you a taste (haha). I'll let that stand on its own.
