wait! he was straight? - so long to joel siegal

famed NY based movie reviewer joel siegal passed away to colon cancer on friday afternoon. a constant contributer to good morning america, joel's movie reviews were always devishly opinionated and usually spot on.

it'll be weird not seeing him every friday morning reviewing the best (and worst) of the new releases.

but what's even weirder is that joel left behind a wife and son! i thought he was a massive nelly the whole time! holy gay-straight!

here is the obit on the news today.

you shall be missed, brother girl!

don't believe the hype: paris hilton

is it just me, or does anyone else find it suspect that mere hours after her release, the positive paris press machine has gone into overdrive with a people magazine cover AND larry king interview?

you gotta cough it up to her press agents cause the toned down makeup and innocent girl stance is a nice change from her usual presentation, but this still reeks of falseness.

my summer obsession: so you think you can dance

every summer i gear up for my favorite competition in the world called so you think you can dance. a surprisingly intense and tough weekly series in which young dancers work their darndest to try out diverse choreography from loads of amazing choreographers. many have scoffed my love for this show, but personally it's probably the one show out that focuses on true talent and the ability to expand on an artform. yes, i'm a dance geek. deal!

here are some highlights from the past two weeks:

week 1: lacey and kameron - mia michaels piece
[by far the best dance i've seen of the competition. lacey is just amazing!]


week 1: jessi and pasha - smooth waltz
[just beautiful. my other favorite couple from the group!]


week 2: lacey and kameron - broadway
[lacey is the breakout babe of the show. poor hot kameron seems lost in the mix]


week 2: sabra and dominic - contemporary
[beautiful. just beautiful!]

hilarious: david blaine - street magic


[saw this sketch at the groundlings a few months back and thought it was funny. so i'm really glad it's gotten buzz as a youtube sketch! i really love the line, "if there's a f**king ace of clubs up my ass, i'm going to sue you!"]


[david meets up with the west hollywood boys again and freaks them out... again! what the F!!!]

news flash: kelly clarkson fired manager on the eve of her sucky album release

[taken from my music blog]

so this is what 'suck' sounds like. the album leaked last friday and all the rumours about it being a hitless collection (that label boss clive davis tried to have re-recorded) is true. it's a real shame since i do count myself as a fan of kelly. but nothing on this album has the immediacy of a 'since you been gone' or the dramatics of 'because of you'.

like i said, a real shame.

UPDATE: turns out kelly clarkson had issues with the release of her album too. she just sacked her manager jeff kwatinetz (who was rumored to be pressuring kelly to release the album as soon as possible in order to coincide with a summer tour). read all about it from US weekly.

apparently she left wailing calling out to her mother. if only she spent a full week, the backlash would never have happened. read about it here.

breaking news: she's out! she's back in! oh the humanity!

this is not going to get her any fans. paris was allowed to leave the century regional detention facility just after 3 days due to an upspecified medical condition.

so money CAN buy you everything.

UPDATE: looks like her freedom is short lived. the judge who put her behind bars is calling her back into the court to decide if she deserves to serve the rest of her sentence under house arrest. read about it here.

it's on!: the sex and the city movie is a go!

according to wanda over at eonline, it seems that sarah jessica parker announced at the launch of her new clothing line that the 'sex and the city' movie is "finally ready".

just the idea of a return to the lives of these girls is enough to make me go gay! oh wait...
