Nice!
Can’t get this version of Poker Face out of my head ever since I saw it a few weeks ago.

Found this promo picture from last season’s Rock of Love premiere……I first saw it as a print ad in Rolling Stone and could not find it on the internet forever because I wanted to blog about it. I recently found it accidently…..can’t remember what exactly I was searching for – it was someting innocent I’m sure.
I just need to know – what exactly is going on in his pants??
I don’t think I’ve seen this “look” since 1990. And I don’t know too many women that would find this appealing (and I have some unsavory friends).
What gives Brett???
I LOVE me some Adam Lambert…..I really do not want to go to the American Idol Tour but……..don’t know if I can wait for Adam to tour alone!
I LOVE this Muse song!
Adam can do no wrong! I don’t care if he kisses boys or girls, attractive is attractive!
)

Really looking at this picture closely – is that a stunt hand? Looks totally off the puppet store shelf. Looks kinda too big, doesn’t it?
I received my Rolling Stone in the mailbox on June 26th, the day after MJ died. Finally read it poolside today along with 4 other neglected magazines that have been piling up…..and this article caught my eye:
Michael Jackson’s Troubled Comeback
The singer’s upcoming 50 concerts will make him rich again – if he holds up.
This is not the actual article published – this is what is on Rolling Stone’s website about the article.
Will he or won’t he? That’s the question dogging Michael Jackson as the King of Pop edges closer to his 50 sold-out concerts at London’s O2 Arena, which are scheduled to begin July 13th. Will Jackson will able to complete the run that would once again cement him as one of the biggest stars on the planet — as well as save him from the giant debt the Thriller singer has accumulated during his lengthy hiatus? In the new issue of Rolling Stone, Fred Goodman takes an in-depth look at the This Is It! concerts, the challenges facing Jackson and promoter AEG Live, and how Jackson’s perfectionism has already forced the postponement of the run’s opening four dates.
In England, bookies at betting parlors are already increasing the odds that Jackson will cancel some shows — a prospect that would devastate fans who snatched up more than 750,000 seats (at prices starting at $81 per ticket). While Jackson has been rumored to be frequently absent from his Los Angeles rehearsals with choreographer and musical director Kenny Ortega, the technical complexity of the shows, as well as Jackson’s perfectionism has been cited for the delayed starting dates. (Jackson is reportedly seeking a children’s choir that knows sign language and is “exactly equal” in racial diversity.)
For Jackson, the stakes are high, as he’s amassed a massive debt of unpaid wages, lawsuits, upkeep on his former Neverland Ranch and a lifestyle that has been described as “a millionaire who spends like a billionaire.” But the pressure is also on for AEG Live, who have fronted all the cash for Jackson’s run, putting the singer up in a lavish estate during its duration and paying $5 million up front to a Bahrainian prince to settle a lawsuit that would have prevented Jackson from performing at all. If all goes well, the London shows would net Jackson and AEG Live $70 million and kick-start a three-year, three-part worldwide deal between the pair. If it fails, Jackson may have burned his last bridge. “He’s doing it mostly for his fans,” Jackson’s former spokesman Dr. Tohme Tohme tells RS. “And he’s doing it for his children and the children of the world.”
Other pop culture nuggets…..
No kids this weekend means me & Robert can go to Rated R movies! So we saw 2 movies.
My pick: “Away We Go”

Robert’s pick: “Year One”

Both were very good, but I’m a lenient movie critic.
But……two popcorn dinners in a row mean I’ll be logging extra miles this week.

Jon & Kate’s “big announcement” tonight wasn’t exactly a surprise, but still kind of sad cause those kids are super cute. I’ll take two please.
I lost interest in the show a couple seasons ago just because Kate was getting too annoying to watch. She’s been beating Jon down since Season 1. I saw a tabloid cover a few weeks ago that had a picture of her and it said “Mom to Monster” and I agreed. I always wondered why her parents don’t want anything to do with her and why her ex-best friend is blabbing to the tabloids now. I found this on the web:
“Many people know exactly why Kate is estranged from her parents. Her dad had the members of his church pull together to help Jon and Kate when she had the sextuplets. They donated clothes and cribs, among other things. Kate rejected the cribs as she only wanted NEW, MATCHING ones, not gently used. Also, she told her dad she only wanted CASH. Kenton Kreider could not go back to his church members and tell them his daughter refused their overwhelming generosity and would accept only cash. So, Kate cut her mom and dad out of the sextuplets lives. They are estranged. So, when Kate says on the show, “They don’t know how to help us,” what she means is that she did not get the cold, hard cash she insisted on. Jon and Kate’s PR people can spin it anyway they like, but the reality is that Kate cut her parents out of her lives because of money. Kate, a self proclaimed “devout Christian” should know the “money is the root of all evil.”

Wouldn’t you have loved to be a fly on the wall when the “affair” rumors hit the press!? You know he got the ass chewing of a lifetime.
Where are you Dr. Phil??? Why didn’t you try to fix this marriage? Where is their “this is gonna be changing day in your life” intervention!? You’re always butting your squirrely moustache into everybody else’s business, so I blame you Dr Feel.

Glambert is my American Idol!
He was the only thing that was interesting this season! I mean……besides Paula’s ramblings and Simon’s hairy arms.


LAS VEGAS SUN ARTICLE
By Robin Leach • April 7, 2009 • 2:24 PM
For the first time, Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner has revealed that longtime love 29-year-old Holly Madison left him and The Playboy Mansion, and Hef also told me in a one-on-one interview that he felt lost in hitting the emotional speed bump. Hef’s new gal pal, 22-year-old Crystal Harris, confided to me that she could see he was hurt and helped him get over the heartache. Here’s the transcript of our conversation at the Palms Place pool cabana during his weekend birthday celebrations (Hef turned 83 on April 9th).
Robin Leach: Hef, first everybody wishes you a Happy 83rd Birthday. Today you have six ladies on your arm! How do you do it, and what’s the secret?
Hugh Hefner: I’m dancing as fast as I can. How else do you celebrate longevity than turn it into a celebration?
RL: From one guy to another guy, what was the feeling when Holly, Kendra and Bridget first arrived with the new twins and meeting Crystal for the first time?
HH: I cannot imagine a better way to celebrate my birthday. It was the past and the present, but for me the past is never really the past. It’s ongoing. To see the three of them together again — they all have their own careers now, and that’s special on many levels.
RL: Was it a case of love being lost and found again? Passing from one trio to another?
HH: Oh yeah, when Holly decided to leave, it was a real speed bump for me, yes. RL: That means you can’t let Crystal leave.
HH: I have no plans of it.
RL: We live in challenging times, and many changes are taking place for you that you have to cope with both in business and personally at a late stage in life. How are you facing it all?
HH: We’re doing the best that we can. I think everyone faces the same kind of problems economically. These are tough times for magazines, for print in general; it’s a tough time for the world. But I’m old enough to remember the Great Depression; I grew up in the Great Depression. I can’t say it’s a nostalgic time, but I’ve been there before, and sometimes that brings out the absolute best in people. It brings people together, and we need a lot of that on the planet.
RL: With daughter Christie Hefner stepping down from the Playboy presidency, are your sons now going to rise to fill the throne and follow in your footsteps?
HH: We’ll see. There are a lot of questions at the time being. They are both in college. One has just started college, and the other is about to begin college. So they have four years before they really start thinking about careers, but they are both interested in the old man’s business, so we’ll see.
RL: Celebrating another milestone birthday, do you feel 83? Do you feel 53? Do you feel 33?
HH: The honest answer to that is that some days I feel like 93, and some days I feel like 20. The new trio is where the 20 part comes in! That’s the secret. Yeah, the absolute best part of my life is these romantic connections. I am very, very fortunate to have found such very lovely ladies at this point in my life after having hit the emotional speed bump that I did last summer.
RL: What’s left for you to achieve at this stage of your life? HH: Savoring what has come before, celebrating it, and sharing it with those I love.
RL: Which is what you’re doing today? Everybody says they can’t bring you a gift because you already have everything in the world — except for this special party. Do you still have the empty tomb beside Marilyn Monroe’s resting place marked for whenever? What do you think you’ll put on that tombstone?
HH: Well it was Jimmy Stewart’s movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. … But I’d like to be remembered as somebody who played some part in changing our social sexual values. It was time, and I think my position in terms of that is secure.
RL: So you would say, “He lived and he loved”?
HH: Yes, absolutely.
RL: And never lost.
HH: Well I wouldn’t say that.
RL: You wouldn’t? What did you lose?
HH: Well, I think that is the nature of love and life. You win a few. You lose a few.
RL: I think you’ve won!
HH: I agree!
Then I talked with his new No. 1 girlfriend, Crystal, a psychology student from San Diego. She will return to school this fall to continue her studies for a psychology degree, but is transferring from San Diego to Beverly Hills. “Both Hef and I have psychology in common, so that is an area we have much discussion about. He is the sweetest, kindest man I have ever met. I’ve never dated an older man before, but we just clicked instantly,” Crystal told me. “We met on Halloween Eve at the Mansion. We talked. He invited me to stay the night, and I wound up staying from Thursday through Tuesday morning.
The twins, who were already in residence at the mansion, didn’t quite like that happening so fast at first, but now we are all best friends. “From the moment we met, I knew he was hurting from the breakup with Holly. I wanted to help him through that hurt, and then we just fell in love. It has been wonderful for both of us. I don’t know where it will lead, but I had always told my mom I wasn’t going to have kids, so that’s not going to be a problem with him that he’s had in the past. And I’m way too young to want to get married, so let’s just go have fun.” Crystal told me that she had a special birthday treat in store for Hef back in the privacy of their Playboy suite. “I’m making my burlesque debut for him. I’ve got these thigh-high boots, fishnet stockings — the whole works — and an antique bustier corset. I’ve never done anything like that before, but I’m a good sport, so I will really give it my best shot. Some of it will be filmed for the new Girls Next Door series, but we’ll kick out the cameras to finish it in private!”
Been a long time since I blogged! I’ve actually been soooo busy at WORK that I don’t go on the internet for fun at all during the day. So Viva la Blogtard is suffering. I treasure the sleep I can get so blogging has been put on the backburner FOR NOW until work slows down or until I hit the lotto and finally become a stay at home princess.
My birthday came and went in a flash; I can’t believe how old I actually am! How did that happen and who is the 14 year old girl who calls me Mom and rolling her eyeballs at me acting like I don’t know what the heck is going on! How am I the mother of a friggin 14 year old!? I don’t think I’m mature enough or qualified for the job.
March was a dandy of a month! Heather and I went on a road trip to Paris, TX so I could check out the Eiffel tower and Evergreen Cemetery, my Dad turned 60 years old, ran the Greenville St Paddy’s Day 5K (32:46), ran the Butterfly Boogie 10K (1:04), saw Monster vs Aliens 3D and saw Britney Spears in Dallas on March 31st – what a way to end the month!
Counting down 10 days until Heather and I take our annual Vegas vacation!! 4 nights in Sin City here we come! Thanks hubby for the best birthday present eva!

My American Idol Tuesday Night Recap:
What a WHIP! I just can’t get totally into this show yet until the contestant pool gets down to a manageable number, I can’t remember anybody except the last three performers!
Lil Rounds: Worst pants ever, she needs a personal tailor to get her clothes right.
Adam Lambert: I love this flaming hot chick, dude, whatever he is, he’s just really good and there’s no competition. Winner.
Paula: What’s going on with her face tonight! Is that what Botox does? I have no knowledge on such things, but she definitley looked different. Why does she speak the way she does, like she just learned English? Drives me crazy….I’m like screaming at the tv “spit it out and make sense or you have to skip your turn!!!” Is that from her pain meds? Agian, I have no knowledge on such things!
Simon: I heart him, he says all the right things, there should be no other judges.
Gordon Ramsey shout out from Simon: WOW!!! My British Fantasy! Double, Double, Toil & Trouble…..
I spied Justin Guarini sitting behind the judges tonight, I kinda like him, he’s not too annoying.
That’s all I can recall, I guess they’re kicking off 2 people tomorrow night, how about kicking off like 6!!

Heather and I went for a little road trip this morning to Paris, Texas! Paris is also home to Evergreen Cemetery where the famous 12 foot Jesus wearing cowboy boots statue is located, belonging to Willet Babcock. The cemetery is HUGE and unfortunately we couldn’t find Jesus Boots. There was also a noon funeral going on and a ton of cars were coming into the cemetery while we’re lurking around trying not to be disrespectful.
No Willet for us, but I found this info on him:
