Anyone who knows me knows how embarrassingly obsessed I am with the Fox television show "Glee", but if its one thing I have stood by, it is my dislike for Lea Michele. Something about her just screams "I am an insufferable cunt!". I will not however, deny the effect her voice has on me.
I have been conflicted with this dilemma for a long, long time. Tonight, I have officially swayed to the other end of the spectrum. The following list is reasons why I can no longer deny my love for her.
1) she can sing ALMOST as well as Idina Menzel. 2) shes from New Jersey, which, I mean, that automatically means I am predisposed to like her. 3)
enough said. anyone who has ANYTHING negative to say about twilight has automatically endeared themselves to me.

What in the world is going on with her hair?? Whoever told her that hair was a good idea needs to be fired and they need to go home and seriously re-evaluate their life.
I might need one of those re-evaluations too. I am sitting here, on a Friday night, waiting for this Rihanna interview on 20/20.
Imagine a 22 year old, home, on a Friday, watching 20/20. I thought this was for people over 70? Well anyway, here I am, but I have Yodels so it's all good. This better be good! Like, "crack is whack" good.
This is my first entry in over a year I think. And its kind of sad/pathetic that it was RACHEL ZOE who inspired me to get back on the wagon.
I've seen a couple episodes of her show casually, on days when I should be doing other things like laundry or homework, but instead find myself drooling on the couch, eyes glued to anything on bravo..but never really got into the show!
Well....its epic! And by epic, I mean EPICALLY BAD. So bad in fact, that its mouthwateringly good.
Let me spell it out for you. We have one crazy, motherfucking batshit insane stylist, a gay husband (Roger), a bitchy entitled assistant (Taylor), and a gay bitchy entitled assistant (Brad)!
Now, I tried to look for clips on youtube to put here, because you really need to see for youself. Fortunately, Bravo is really great and takes everything down. Instead, I found a parody which is actually DEAD ON. The show is almost literally the same as this clip:
Famously, Bravo shows re-runs of all its shows mercilessly around the clock. There isn't a season on currently but the show is on all the time. YOU MUST WATCH!

luckily me and my fellow gossip whore friends were able to find a live stream of this so we were able to watch it in real time!
she had 2 other performances this weekend, one on the Bambi Awards in Germany, and another on Star Academy in France. XFactor is taped in England. this one was the best of the three. many fans, including myself feel like she really needs time to get her confidence back, and thats exactly whats happening. she breaks out of her shell here!
this morning on ONTD, someone posted a new song by M.I.A that is featured in the beginning scenes of the Indian independent film "Slumdog Millionaire". with a look at the trailer, it seems like the movie is pretty good! direction looks good, nice music (minus the overplayed Ting Ting's "Great DJ"), and the plot seems rivoting. ill have to find some way to see this. M.I.A's involvement certainly secures its credibility for me.
after you watch the trailer above, listen to the song "O...Saya"
M.I.A also talks about the first artist under her new label: The soundtrack to "Slumdog Millionaire" will mark the first release on M.I.A.'s Interscope label, N.E.E.T. In 2009, M.I.A. said, the label will release her first signing, Baltimore's teenage rapper Rye Rye, whose club rave-up, "Shake It to the Ground," comes off as a more Americanized M.I.A., but no less energetic or resilient.
Working with Rye Rye, said M.I.A., has inspired her to get back into the studio to work on her third record. She offered no timetable. "I’m just writing," said M.I.A., who is pregnant with her first child. "You have to be in the habit of writing as much as possible. I don’t have any sort of process. I have all the artwork done and everything, but I don’t have any thoughts as to how this album should sound. It’s weird. I just need to find where I am and what I’m thinking."
She excitedly speaks of Rye Rye as a sort of pet project, noting she does all of Rye Rye's "production, and I do all her styling. I dye her weave." The 17-year-old rapper has a more hard-core club sound than M.I.A.'s globe-trotting electronics, and it sounds like being a label head has provided M.I.A. an opportunity to live vicariously. "Rye Rye's record was really clubby, and that’s where I started, and she fits that so well," M.I.A. said. "Her music has so much energy. I kind of exhaust with that her. So when I’m sitting down to write my own music, it’s coming from a different place. I want to be able to do things that I feel like are not getting said."
