Don’t Buy: MJ’s Encores

What do these two images have to do with each other?

I say nothing, but as usual, I’m wrong.
Let’s start here: Michael Jackson’s dead. He isn’t coming back. It’s sad, but it had to be said. Sure his music will continue to live on. But as far as Michael is concerned, he isn’t coming back.
You might [...]

Don’t Buy: Legally Blonde Bridget pt. 3

Remember Bridget Jones’s Diary? It was about some 30-something chubster approaching life as a teenager. Trying to figure out boys by writing in her diary.
Oh good, so you do. Well remember the sequel? Where she carries on with her adolescent behavior but somehow ends up in a Thai prison, but becomes a hero because she [...]

Buy: Jennifer’s Body

When it comes to Diablo Cody’s body of work, I’m on the fence.
Juno: Liked, then hated for it’s cutesy and forced dialogue and character non-development and soundtrack
United States of Tara: Liked. Not extremely captivating but had character development
Cody’s red carpet choices: No.
and now we’ve got Jennifer’s Body. Check the trailer and then we’ll discuss.

Okay. Let’s [...]

Buy: Mocking 2012

I’m one of those people who is pretty logical, but with a bit of over-thinking, I lose all sensibility and resort to panic. So after reading, hearing, talking, and watching about 2012, I lost it! What if it’s true? What if the world does come to an end? OMG OMG OMG! ALERT ALERT.
Well, I’m not [...]

Don’t Buy: Bradley Cooper’s Lady

Just a few months ago everyone asked “Who is Bradley Cooper?” when (false) rumors arose that he was cast as the Green Latern. But then The Hangover came out and was a box office smash, making $16.3M opening day. Now he is awesome. He is even cast along side Liam Neeson in the A-Team!
But B.C. [...]

Don’t Buy: Celebrity Death Rumors

As well all know Michael Jackson died last week, along with Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon. But that does not mean that every celebrity died regardless of how much as the Internet wants us to believe.
Rumor had it that Jeff Goldblum died. And Britney Spears. And Harrison Ford. And Ellen DeGeneres. The rumor mill has [...]

Buy: Vampire Battles

You know how the media finds one quote and blows it out of proportion? Well, that’s what I am going to do here.
Stephen Moyer who plays the lame, “responsible” vampire on HBO’s True Blood had this to say about Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight vampire star Robert Patterson:
He’s a pussy! He’s the Slim-Fast, Diet Coke of vampires.
Awesome! [...]

Buy: iPhone Ads

Imagine walking down the street with your cool iPhone because you are already cool for having one, and bam! right there you realize that ad by the bus stop wants to play with you? What do you do? Do you coyly start pinching and swiping your fingers to manipulate/tickle it? Or shyly wait and watch [...]

Don’t Buy: Twitter’s Tween Meltdown

So I’m a fan of Twitter. I’ve been on it for almost 2 years and it has been treating me pretty nicely until late. Lately, the site was “found out” by the media, filled with spammers and I got the glimpses into people and lives I never wanted.
Remember the month (I think it was March) [...]

BODB: Gossip Girl Launched Music Careers?

It’s already fairly well-known that Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick in the real world) has a music “career“. But, he’s Chuck Bass and is allowed to do whatever he wants. And he’s secretly British.
But how about “Lil J” aka Taylor Momsen. She is in a band called Pretty Reckless (ugh). She sings. She’s also 16. I’m [...]
