Live Rocky Horror Picture Show at Purdue


WARNING: This post may be unsuitable for younger audiences. Read at your own risk.

This past Friday night, current Purdue Students put on The Rocky Horror Picture Show in the Purdue Memorial Union. Now, I have heard about this show since the beginning of the year and was really excited to see it. I had plans with my friend wince we saw it advertised in August. Well when last week rolled around, he found out that he was going to Ball State this weekend and couldn’t make it to Rocky Horror.

So I frantically tried to find someone else to go with. I called up another one of my friends to see if he could go, but he had already had plans for that night and couldn’t cancel. Luckily, the next day my friend offered to go with me, even though she had never seen the show.

Now for those of you who have never seen or heard of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it goes a little something like this: Newly engaged couple, Brad and Janet, get stranded during a bad storm at the castle of Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his strange and bizarre entourage. This night is the unveiling of Frank’s latest creation, Rocky. Over the course of the night, Frank seduces Brad and Janet, Janet and Rocky become involved, Dr. Everett Scott arrives looking for his son Eddie (whom Frank killed earlier in the film), and it all goes to shit when the guests discover that Frank, Magenta, and Riff Raff are aliens from the planet Transsexual in the galaxy Transylvania.

Anyways, so when you go to a live show of Rocky Horror, you are supposed to dress up, preferably as a character. I was very upset that I couldn’t dress up because I had a lot of errands to run before the show and I didn’t have time.

When we got to the Union, there were already some kids waiting in line for tickets. So we got in line right behind them and were within the first 15 people to get tickets. We finally got the tickets and then had to stand in another line in front of the doors to the ballroom where the show was. When we got in that line, we quickly got red V’s put on our forehead with red lipstick because we were “virgins.” This means that we have never seen a live Rocky Horror show before.


Once the doors opened, we quickly got our seats in the second row. We had to wait another hour until the opening ceremonies started. During this time the host, Roxy, who was a man dressed as a woman, would dance around to the music playing and throw condoms at people and just acted crazy. It was really fun, and I can’t even explain in words some of the crazy stuff he did.

When the opening ceremonies started, Roxy called up all the virgins to the stage. There were so many, probably around half of the audience, so it was crowded. So once all of us finally made it up to the stage, we played “games.” Now when I say games, I’m not talking about checkers or Life. We played Suck and Blow (with a condom), pop the condom balloon, suck the cream from the Twinkie, and a game that entailed people making the noises of animals…during sexual climax (which is in the picture to the right). I got to play Suck and Blow, which was really awkward since I didn’t know one of the people that I had to exchange the condom with.

Once all the games were over with, it was time for the show to begin. Now how most live Rocky Horror shows happen is they project the movie on a screen behind a stage. Then a cast acts out most of the scenes on stage.

I thought that the actors did a really good job at acting out their parts, with the exception of the girl who played the Narrator. I only say this because all of the other actors just mouthed the words along with the movie. The girl would actually speak her words and not even say the right ones. I only noticed this since I was sitting in the front couple rows, but it was really a nuisance and very distracting for me.

The best part of Rocky Horror for me was not the actually movie, or the acting out of the movie. It was the audience interaction part of it. When you bought the tickets, you could also get what was called a survival kit and in the kit was a bag of rice, newspaper, squirt gun, flashlight, rubber gloves, noisemaker, a bag of confetti, a roll of toilet paper, toast, party hat, bell, and playing cards. At certain parts of the movie you would use each item. There were also lines that you would shout that go along with lines that the actors said in the movie. Roxy knew all of the lines and random audience members knew some of them. An example would be every time they said Brad Majors or Janet Weiss you would yell “ASSHOLE!” or “SLUT!” respectively.

Overall, I had a really good time and would advise people to go to a live Rocky Horror show just to experience it for themselves. It takes you out of your comfort zone a bit, but in the end you get over it and just enjoy the show. I plan on seeing this show put on again in my future. If you go to Purdue or live in the Lafayette area of Indiana, Purdue tries to put on the show every year the Friday of Halloween. It isn’t very expensive so if you have around $10 and you want to have some fun, head over and watch the show.

Bethenny Frankel stars in 'SAW?'

It's The Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel at some event in Manhattan recently (left) -- and the doll in the "Saw" films (right).

Bethenny Frankel's cheek bones are unlike anything I have ever seen. I remember season 1 of the Real Housewives of New York City was the first time that I saw Bethenny and I could not stop staring at her face. I am surprised she has not gotten some kind of surgery for that yet. Her cheek and jaw bones stick out so far, her face is literally a pentaon.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Salahis' selling autographed photos of themselves


The Real Housewives of D.C. need to find some way to pay off their large debt, what better way to sell photos of themselves?

Brotman-Winter-Fried Communications - who provided public relations for the Salahis polo events - sued the couple for $20,000 owed for services rendered and won, but haven't been paid.

RadarOnline.com learned that some sort of a deal had to be made for the payment because the Salahis' are broke.
Sources close to the situation said that "after looking over the couple's assets it was determined they couldn't afford to pay their debt."
As a result, the Salahis' autographed 200 photographs of themselves at the White House which are going to be auctioned off on eBay for $100 each in an effort to get the $20,000 that they owe.

The deal was made at the Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia. The deal was made party because Michaele, who has been suffering with Multiple Sclerosis for 17 years, will donate 10 percent of the funds to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Taylor Armstrong says 'plastic surgery makes her feel good'

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Taylor Armstrong, believes staying young in Las Angeles is the key. Although she is the youngest cast member on the show, she has undergone the most plastic surgery. She told Hollywoodlife.com that there is no shame in getting a little pinch and pull on your face every once in a while.

“I think a little here and there keeps you from having these really radical procedures later and you end up looking like a completely different person,” Taylor told us at Bowl for a Better LA in Los Angeles Oct. 22.

It’s not for everyone but it makes me feel good, so I do it.”

So what does "getting a little pinch and pull" exactly entail? I am curious to know how often and how much Taylor actually gets done. When does it get to the point when it is too much? I don't think that it looks good. Her lips look so stretched out they are almost across her entire face. I understand that she is on television and she wants to look good, but aging naturally looks better than as if someone stretched out her face like play doh. Lay off the plastic surgery Taylor.

Eva Longoria Gets Sued!!


The 35-year old Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria Parker, and basketball star husband, Tony Parker, are being sued for negligence after a car crash occured in Hollywood last week. According to a source, Roman Gasparyan (the other driver involved)claims that he was waiting to make a turn onto Hollywood Boulevard when Longoria Parker swerved into his BMW sports utility vehicle (SUV) while driving in the opposite direction. Gasparyan was upset and he is seeking unspecified damages saying not only was there damage to his BMW; but additionally, that there was physical and mental suffering. While Eva was driving, Tony was the legal registered user of the vehicle. Gasparyan's suit was previously dismissed because there is no real truth to any of his claims.

According to another source; however, a Los Angeles Police Department representative Access Hollywood that Gasparyan was the one who turned left in front of Parker. The accident is still under investigation.

This just goes to show that there are two sides to every story. Personally, I have no idea who swerved into who, and it really doesn't matter to me because everyone's okay and I don't really care whose fault it is. On the other hand, if I were to guess...I'd say it was Roman's fault and he's just trying make accusations and file a lawsuit on these two big-time celebrities to try and score some big money.

Glee: Meet the Characters


Rachel Berry: Rachel is the strong and driven member of the glee club. She is also misunderstood by her peers. In the first season she went through relationships with Finn, Puck, and a boy from the rival high school, Jesse St. James. She sings mostly show tunes and is especially good with Barbara Streisand songs.

Finn Hudson: Finn is the star quarterback at McKinley High School and is also in the glee club, which caused problems in the first season. He dated Quinn for awhile in the first season and also thought that they were having a baby together. He later finds out that it was not his and breaks up with her. He later loses his virginity to Santana, but soon regrets it because he didn't love her. At the end of the season, he professes his love for Rachel. By the beginning of season 2, they are dating.

Kurt Hummel: Kurt is the singer who is bullied by the football team. He has this tough guy front, even though he is just an anxious and scared teen that everyone has been at some point. In the first season, Kurt comes out as gay and develops a thing for Finn. However, when he tries to act upon it, it blows up in his face.

Mercedes Jones: Mercedes is the diva in glee club. She can hit those high notes and refuses to sing back up. In the first season, she goes through a stage where she has a crush on Kurt, unaware that he is gay. He rejects her and Mercedes is hurt but Kurt confides his sexuality in her and they become best friends. At one point, she joined the Cheerios, which is the cheerleading squad, to get the spotlight that she wants. She eventually quits because she is afraid of turning into someone she doesn't want to be.

Tina Cohen-Chang: Tina is the quiet one of the group. She is always in dark, goth clothing. She dates Artie practically throughout the entire first season. They end up breaking up when she falls for Mike Chang.

Artie Abrams: Artie is a nerd and loves the glee club. He plays guitar and is a paraplegic wheelchair user. In the first season, Artie goes through a phase where he is upset that he will never be able to walk or dance again, but he later accepts his disability. He dates Tine in the first season but by the time the second season rolled around, they were broken up. Artie decides to join the football team in effort to get Tina back.

Quinn Fabray: Quinn is first introduced as Finn's girlfriend, head cheerleader, and president of the celibacy club. She ends up joining the glee club because of Finn and because the cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester, wants to take down the glee club from the inside. She is pregnant in the first season and tells Finn that he is the father, even though it is actually Puck. Because of her pregnancy, she is kicked off the Cheerios, becomes unpopular at school, and even kicked out of her house. Finn finds out that he isn't the father and breaks up with Quinn. Puck tries to get back with her, but she tells him that she wants to do it on her own. In the last episode of season one, she delivers her baby and the rival school's glee club coach adopts the child.

Noah "Puck" Puckerman: Puck is a football player and Finn's best friend, who originally disapproves of Finn joining glee club. He eventually joins to show Quinn that he isn't a "Lima loser." He briefly dates Rachel because his mother wants him to find a Jewish girl. They end up breaking it off because of Rachel's feelings for Finn. He also dates Mercedes briefly, which was really weird. He tries to get with Quinn since he is the father of the child, but Quinn is persistent with her decision.


Paranormal Activity 2- Scared out of my mind

Fear has taken hold at the box office with a $41.5 million debut for scary movie "Paranormal Activity 2," according to studio estimates Sunday.

Paramount Pictures' follow-up to last year's micro-budgeted hit "Paranormal Activity" got a jump on Halloween as fans packed theaters for another documentary-style thriller about a household plagued by a menacing spirit.

"Paranormal Activity 2" did nearly half its business on Friday, following the pattern of many fright-flick franchises, which often draw big crowds on opening day then drop off sharply. The movie took in $20.1 million Friday, with receipts falling to $13 million Saturday and $8.4 million Sunday.

The first "Paranormal Activity" rolled out gradually from city to city in a stealth-marketing campaign that built the buzz for the independently produced thriller that was shot for less than $15,000.

By the time the movie went into nationwide release, it had turned into a horror sensation that went on to become a $100 million hit.

The first movie came out of nowhere, and follow-up films to similar surprise smashes sometimes fall flat, such as "The Blair Witch Project" sequel. In its publicity campaign, Paramount tried to maintain an air of mystery around "Paranormal Activity 2."

"The challenge was to not make the mistake of some other movies of the past, and to treat it as its own very special entity. Even though we went wide with it, we tried to treat it a lot like the first one was treated from a publicity and marketing standpoint," said Don Harris, the studio's executive vice president for distribution.

Paramount also had the No. 2 movie with the stunt comedy "Jackass 3D," which opened in first place the previous weekend. "Jackass 3D" pulled in $21.6 million, down sharply from its $50 million opening.

But the movie raised its 10-day total to $87.1 million, more than either of the earlier two "Jackass" movies took in during their entire runs.

The big opening for "Paranormal Activity 2" sets up a rematch of last Halloween season, when the first "Paranormal Activity" dismembered an established horror franchise and "Saw VI" debuted weakly with the worst opening weekend in the series' history.

I saw the first movie last year when it came out. I am usually fine with scary movies like they don’t actually scare me but the one first one scared the living daylights out of me. I slept with my closet light on for a week. I was so scared and terrified something was going to happen to me. I was actually scared for my life. I know how funny that sounds but I actually was.


You may be wondering why I want to see the second one since the first one scared me so much. But I need to see it. Like I don’t think I could not see it. I will just have to get some of my guy friends to come with me so I can use the to protect my eyes from the screen. I will let you guys know what I think once I see it!

Jackass 3D- My review


I finally saw “Jackass 3D” this weekend! I thought it was really funny but some parts were just disgusting. I really liked the duck hunting one. In which the guys were in the boats and someone flew off the blob. I thought that was hilarious. The friends I went with had varying thoughts about the movie. My one guy friend said that it was the greatest movie of the year. He was ranting and raving about it the whole way home. I sat next to him and he was laughing so hard through out the entire movie. It was really funny to watch him freak out like that. But one the other hand my roommate and our other friend, Lindsey, didn’t really like it as much as he did. They thought it was okay and they both agreed that seeing penises wasn’t funny and that that shouldn’t be entertaining. They both thought that is was okay but not nearly as highly as one of my guy friends thought. I thought it was funny through out the whole movie. But I am one of those people who laugh when other people laugh but I don’t really think that had anything to do with it. I like seeing people do stupid stuff I think its really funny. I didn’t necessarily like seeing them puking but at least I wasn’t hiding and covering my ears like my roommate was. But that is because she hates that and she is afraid of anything that has to do with throwing up. Even the word grosses her out. I thought “Jackass 3D” was very funny and disgusting at some parts but you have to expect that out of the crew.

All-Time Favorite Housewives

For those of us who watch all of the Real Housewives, we have our favorite housewives. I thought I would do something different on my blog.

I want to start off by saying what makes a good character on the Real Housewives. My favorites all have things in common such as, the free will to speak their minds, a good sense of humor, and having famous "one-liners."

Caroline Manzo
Caroline Manzo stars on the Real Housewives of New Jersey and is 48 years old and currently married with three children. I like Caroline because she would do anything and everything for her family. Caroline is constantly defending her two sisters who are also on the show. Sometimes when she talks she sounds like she is in the mafia, but that is what makes Caroline a like-able character. She is different from the other women because she is not completely consumed about what she looks like, this woman is not selfish in the least bit.

Famous Caroline one-liners:

- “Let me tell you something about my family, we are thick as thieves and we protect each other to the end"
- "You have something to say, say it to me"

Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Frankel is definitely a fan favorite on the Real Housewives of New York. She is 39 and currently married with a newborn baby. Bethenny is one of my favorites because she is not afraid to tell it like it is. She is always entertaining to watch and is very witty. I love her interviews on the show because she is constantly cracking jokes. If one of the other housewives are getting on her nerves, you can always count on Bethenny to set them straight.

Famous Bethenny one-liners:

- "Tell him he's in the midst of a deep homosexual panic"
- "Holy inappropriateness"

Nene Leakes
Nene Leakes is my favorite housewife of all-time. She is by far the funniest housewife that Bravo TV has ever casted. She is a divorced 43 year old single-parent to her one son, Brycen. I love Nene because she is so up-front about everything. She will get in anyone's face and tell them how she feels. Nene has the best personality and sense of humor. Nene Leakes cracks the most jokes about fellow castmate Kim Zolciak.

Famous Nene one-liners:
- "Close your legs to married men"
- "Is your wig squeezing your brain too tight, heifer?"

- "That's a dirty, low-down monkey with a wig on"






Vicki Gunvalson divorces Don

Yes, Vicki Gunvalson from the Real Housewives of Orange County has finally divorced her her husband, Don. TMZ has reported that they have filed for divorce.

The two were have been married since 1994 and renewed their vows in the summer of 2009. The reality spoke to Usmagazine.com about why she got a divorce.

"We tried," Vicki, 48, told Us. "It's just too hard on both of us."

She added: "It is amicable and we want to keep this as private as possible."
Yeah okay Vicki.. you are on a television show, how do you expect to keep your divorce in any way private? We all have watched Vicki for the last four seasons humiliate her own husband.

Two seasons ago on the Real Housewives, Vicki admittedly told the cameras "My love tank is empty." We should have all saw this divorce coming, it is about time that Don gets away from that nut-job.

Vicki also addressed her divorce on her Facebook page,
"Donn has been an important part of my life and he will continue to be," she wrote. "I would like to thank all of you for the outpouring of love and support that we have received."

It seems like to me that the fame has gotten to the 47 year old "starlet." Now that Vicki is famous, she thinks she is too good for everyone. Unfortunately for Vicki, she is not the most attractive "housewife," so good luck finding another husband you can verbally abuse in-front of America!

Die-Hard Rocky Horror Fans May be Disappointed With Glee's Show



In my last post, I talked about how Glee was going to do a Rocky Horror Picture Show episode. Now at first, I was really excited about it. I couldn't wait to see who was going to play what character and how they were going to perform the show.

Well during a short few days there have been many more previews of the show posted, including the cast's performance of the Time Warp (video posted at top) and Dammit Janet. From watching the previews, I'm already somewhat disappointed with the turn out of the episode. Before I start, I want to give you a run down of which glee kids will be playing which RHPS characters.

Dr. Frank-N-Furter - Mercedes
Janet Weiss - Rachel
Brad Majors - Finn
Riff Raff - Kurt
Magenta - Quinn and possibly Santana
Columbia - Brittany and Tina
Dr. Everett V. Scott - Artie
Eddie - Mike
Rocky Horror - Sam

I didn't like that they are having Mercedes play Frank-N-Furter. I understand that Glee is a family show and showing a cross0dressing teenager wouldn't exactly be appropriate, but its Rocky Horror Picture Show! I think that its stupid that they can show things like teen pregnancy, homosexuality and other subjects that some parents don't like their children watching, but they won't show cross dressing? I think Frank-N-Furter is a huge part of RHPS, and not having a male play that role is ridiculous.

Also, the song "Sweet Transvestite" doesn't make much sense. The song is when Frank-N-Furter meets Janet and Brad and is really just him introducing himself and how he is. But of course Mercedes will be singing the song, which doesn't make any sense. I feel as though a girl dressed in womens clothing is not a transvestite. Also, they change the words "Transexual Transylvania" to "Sensational Transylvania." It works but it just isn't Rocky Horror.

I also don't understand why the characters of Columbia and Magenta will each have two girls playing the roles. I know that there aren't enough main characters to make up for all the glee kids, but I feel like they could've been the Transylvanians.

One thing that I do love so far about the previews is how well Kurt seems to play Riff Raff. He seems to capture the strangeness of the character. He even does the voice very well. I think that Kurt is able to do Riff Raff's mannerisms very well. I think it was a good choice to cast Kurt as Riff Raff.

Now during the Time Warp, which is mainly Riff Raff's song, I was disappointed that Finn was singing some of the lines that should have been Kurt's. In the movie, Brad and Janet are just watching the Time Warp and don't participate at all. However, I would be very disappointed and sad if I didn't get a chance to be a part of the Time Warp.

It just seems to me like Glee is trying to be safe and not offend those who aren't RHPS fans and trying to get past the TV censors. I think that they are trying to rid the sexual promiscuity in which the show has ironically been trying to flaunt.

I feel like the non-die-hard fans of Rocky Horror will be pleased with the outcome of the show and probably be quite impressed. But the die-hard fans will get upset at what the Glee changes.

Desperate Housewive's Dana Delany's Botox Confession



Dana Delany, who plays Catherine in Desperate Housewives, has been warning other women against Botox injections. Dana, 54, admitted to trying the Botox procedure in 2003 due to the advice of her skin-doctor to stay wrinkle-free and now suffers with a "droopy" eye. According to sources, the medic who was injecting the shot was not very experienced and had little practice. That was more than enough to convince Dana to give it up for life and fight back. According to her interview with Prevention magazine, she said "Seven years ago, I had never heard of Botox. My dermatologist was saying, 'You should try it.' He injected my forehead, hit a nerve, and created a huge hematoma."The nerve has been dead ever since. It affected the muscle in my right eye, so my eye has started to droop a little bit." Now she has vowed off anything related to cosmetic surgery. Now, she is warning other women towards the dangers of Botox.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiere

Last week, the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills aired. We get an inside look of the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

On last weeks episode, we get to see the Real Housewives homes; or should I say mansions. Their homes are unreal, they are each completely different and ornate at the same time. Lisa VanderPump's home really stood out to me, I liked how elegant it looked with a lot of white and silver. She also had many beautiful chandeliers which made the house looked so expensive and beautiful. Adrienne Maloof has an old french-style home which definetly is the largest of the bunch. Adrienne even has her own bathroom completely seperate from her husband's.

They are the wealthiest housewives that Bravo has seen but they also have the worst marriages in my opinion. Many of them seem so disconnected from their husbands and are treated as trophy wives. Taylor Armstrong in particular, there was a scene where we see Taylor and her husband at a dinner. The two barley speak and when they do it is about business. She says so herself in an interview that they do not have an intimate relationship, its 80% business.

Kyle Richards seems to be the character with the most personality on the show. She may not be the wealthiest housewife, but she always seems to want to get in all the action. Kyle may be the life of the party but her sister seem to be polar opposites, Kyle is so outgoing and her sister, Kim, seems to never want to talk. On the preview for this season it seems that Kyle gets into a lot of drama with the other cast mates. Maybe she is trying too hard for TV attention?

Camille Grammer admits to having four nannies who rotate. She is a stay at home mother, why does she need four nannies? In one scene, Camille asks one of the nannies how her son is feeling. I was surprised by this statement because her child is sick and she can't even take care of her own child? Camille must say at least five times that she is sick of being in her husband's shadow and wants to be her own person but her husband is the only thing she seems to ever talk about.

Kim's newest single

As if we need to hear another auto-tuned song by Kim Zolciak, she has a new single out.

Kim's new song is called "Google me," this song is a pathetic cry for attention. This woman will do anything for more fame, so what better way then to have a song telling people to "google her." Kim, I do not know why you would want people "googling" you, all they will read is how you wear fake looking wigs, you have had multiple failed breast surgeries, your newly a bi-sexual, and you date married men. It is a good thing that there is so much positive press about you Kim..

I encourage everyone to watch the video I posted, it really shows how Kim Zolciak cannot sing at all. The entire song is edited with effects to try and make up for Kim's terrible voice. I personally like Kim's first single better, "Tardy for the Party."

Kim's wardrobe malfunction


UH OH! On Monday's episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim Zolciak suffers a a style slip-up before she performs.

Kim is about to take the stage at the Palm Springs White Party singing her one-hit-wonder "Tardy for the Party," when she worries her "boobs" will fall out of her skimpy, black, tu-tu like dress.

"And if they did, I'd be COMPLETELY mortified!" she cries.

Her boobs are complety massive and rediculous looking, a few months ago it was reported that she had gotten even larger breasts implants put it.

When will she get it? Breasts those size make her appear fatter than what actaully is.

Record Breaking Sales in Three Days


Blowing stuff up never gets old in movies, as the death-defying pranksters from MTV's reality series "Jackass" proved at the North American box office on Sunday.

"Jackass 3D," the third installment in a feature series about a crew of thrill junkies, crushed forecasts by selling an estimated $50 million worth of tickets during its first three days of release across the United States and Canada, distributor Paramount Pictures said.

If projections hold up when final data are issued on Monday, the film will beat 2003's "Scary Movie 3" ($48.1 million) to rank as the biggest October opening of all time.

Pundits had forecast "Jackass 3" would open in the $30 million range. The actual result ranks as the best opening since the Leonardo DiCaprio thriller "Inception" kicked off with $63 million three months ago.

The series details the exploits of a crew of daredevils, led by Johnny Knoxville, who withstand grievous bodily harm by performing various gruesome stunts. Genitalia abuse and frequent vomiting are popular favorites. Critics mostly praised the movie, even if the new 3D element failed to add much.

The previous two films also opened at No. 1: the first one to $23 million in October 2002, and the sequel to $29 million in September 2006. They finished with $64 million and $73 million, respectively. Paramount and MTV are units of Viacom Inc.

Opening at a distant No. 2 was "Red," a Bruce Willis action drama based on a DC Comic book. It earned $22.5 million, in line with expectations. The film, which also stars Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren, was released by closely held Summit Entertainment.

After two weeks at No. 1, the Facebook drama "The Social Network" slipped to No. 3 with $11 million. The acclaimed picture has earned $63.1 million to date, said Columbia Pictures, a unit of Sony Corp.

(Reported by Dean Goodman)

I haven’t seen “Jackass 3D” yet but I wouldn’t have doubted that it could break a record for October. I am so excited to see this one. I love the show and all the movies. You laugh the whole entire time because of the ridiculous stunts and stupid stuff they do. My friends and I tried to go to the movie but it was completely sold out. But I am going to see it as soon as I can. From everyone I have talked to they said it was hilarious and a MUST SEE. I will update you on what I thought when I see it which will hopefully be very soon!

Rocky Horror on Glee?!

YES! It is happening everybody. Glee will be having an entire episode dedicated to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Now for those of you who have never seen this wonderful 1975 Tim Curry movie, it is a must see! It was very popular during the 80's and people would actually interact with the movie at a theater. You would really have to look it up to see how was because I don't think that I could ever explain what happened, especially since I never took part in it since I wasn't even living yet. If you are young and your parents were alive in the 80's, ask them. They should know :).

I have loved RHPS ever since I was introduced to it my freshman year of high school. I was in the marching band and the clarinet section that I was in had a tradition where they watched RHPS at the first clarinet dinner. At first, I had no idea what was going on at all. And then The Time Warp came on and everybody at the dinner jumped up and started doing the dance. Eventually I joined in after realizing that the song tells you what to do. Ever since that night, I have always like the show. One night, I told my parents about it like they had never heard of it before and they were so shocked that I had seen it because it was also one of their favorite movies.

After that happened, I convinced my parents to buy me the movie. However, they ended up just buying the movie for themselves. Little do they know that I brought the movie with me to school this year. Hopefully they don't read this post and ask for it back. :)

But anyways, the RHPS episode is on October 26th and I think that it will be a must see, just like the original movie! Here is the current preview...Enjoy!




Grilled Cheesus



In this episode of Glee, the characters go through their different beliefs with religion. It all starts out with Finn making a grilled cheese and it comes out with a burnt spot in the shape of Jesus' face. He decides that he can't throw it away, and I mean who would? I'm not very religious and I still wouldn't be able to eat it or throw it away without being scared about my near future. But he prays to his sandwich, which he calls Grilled Cheesus, and his first prayer was "answered." To repay the favor, Finn wants the Glee club to dedicate an entire week to singing about Jesus.

Now everybody has really mixed feelings about this. Rachel and especially Kurt seem to not like this idea. However Mercedes and Quinn are all for it. And then out of nowhere Puck starts to sing "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel, which was really good. Or that could just be my bias because I find Puck extremely cute.

Later, Kurt finds out from Schuester and Emma that his father is in the hospital. He had a heart attack and was now in a coma with no idea when he would regain consciousness. Kurt is really taken back by his father's medical issues. With Kurt's father in the hospital, it leaves him to take care of himself which would be scary for any teenager.

The next day at school, all the kids feel really bad for Kurt and none of them really know what to say. Mercedes realizes that she wants to sing to Kurt to offer her condolences. She sings "I Look to You" by Whitney Houston which was really good and gave me chills. Kurt appreciated the song but he states that he doesn't believe in God. Everybody in the glee club is shocked that he would admit that. He then tells them that he doesn't want them to pray for him and walks away.

Finn prays to his grilled cheesus again since it worked the first time. He prays that Rachel will let him touch her boobs. After school, Rachel stops by Finn's house to talk to him about his new found love with Jesus. She states that if they end up "going the distance" with their relationship, she wants her children to be raised Jewish. Finn agrees with her..even though it seems like he doesn't really care about what she is talking about. They start kissing and Rachel allows Finn to touch her boobs. It is very apparent that Finn is really excited about it and thanks Grilled Cheesus.

Sue is really upset that Schuester is allowing the children to sing about God. She uses Kurt as a way to stop what is going on in the glee club. She makes Kurt file a complain to the school which makes it so the kids can no longer sing about God which makes them very upset.

Rachel then gets her chance to sing her song later that night with Finn. She sings "Papa Can You Hear Me" originally sang by Barbara Streisand. In the middle of the song, the scene changes to her singing it to Kurt's dad. Kurt walks in when she is done and stops her and others from the glee club from singing. He wants to try acupuncture to wake his father and asks everyone to leave.

Finn prays to Grilled Cheesus for the third time. He prays that he will become quarterback. At the next game, Finn changes the play that Coach Beiste wanted. Sam ends up dislocating his elbow and Finn is now the quarterback again. The next day at school, Schuester congratulates him and everybody else joins in.

Right when this is going on, Kurt walks in and thanks everyone for what they have been doing. Kurt then sings the song "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles in memory of a time that him and his father shared at Kurt's mother's funeral. I thought that the song was sung very well. There was even this montage during it that showed Kurt and his father many years ago and somehow they ended up finding a little boy who resembles Kurt almost perfectly. I thought that it was crazy that they could seem so accurate.

Later, Mercedes invites Kurt to her church that weekend; she had the service dedicated to his dad. After fighting against it, Kurt agrees to go. When they are there, Mercedes sings "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with her choir. At first, Kurt seems really out of place but one of the members gets him to stand up and he looks as though he really liked it.

Sometime after Kurt's church experience, he is at the hospital talking to his father. He apologizes for not allowing the kids pray for him. Kurt starts confessing what he believes in to his father when he realizes that his father's fingers are moving.

The show ends with the glee club singing "What if God Was One of Us." Sue walks in and is no longer upset with them singing about God after a touching conversation with her mentally handicapped sister.

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar Storm of "The View"

"The View" co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar stormed off the set Thursday during an interview with Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.

As the cast debated whether there should be a community center and mosque built in Lower Manhattan, O'Reilly declared that "Muslims killed us on 9/11" to back up his position that it's "inappropriate."

"Oh my God!" Goldberg responded, before uttering a few words bleeped out.

"Muslims didn't kill us on 9/11?" O'Reilly responded. "Is that what you're saying?"

Goldberg called O'Reilly an "extremist" as several of the co-hosts responded to O'Reilly's statement that "Muslims" -- and not Muslim radicals, extremists or terrorists -- killed "us" on 9/11.

Behar, who had told O'Reilly that Muslims have a right to build it because "this is America," said that she no longer "wanted to sit here now" after the Fox star's remarks. Behar and Goldberg then left the studio.

Watch the interview here:

Superfreak, Grey's Anatomy

Callie and Arizona still have a storyline that focuses on their moving in together -- this week it's that they want Owen and Cristina to move out and don't feel like they are taking steps towards this fast enough. Meredith is the one who has to point out to Callie that Cristina can't even sleep if Owen is gone (she goes to Meredith's and crawls into bed with her... and Derek... so that she can finally get some sleep) so Callie then thinks they are monsters for wishing the couple out. It turns out, however, that all she and Arizona needed to do all along was come home and start ripping each other's clothes off right in front of Owen and Cristina before moving into the bedroom for drunken sex, and that gets the newlyweds thinking about their own place right quick.

Cristina is still doing terribly -- during a meeting the attendings all argue about what might be best for her, and most of them think she needs to be moved to administration or something similar for a while. Derek, though, stands up for her on account of her saving his life and puts her on his service, figuring administration is the last thing that would be good for her. It doesn't do a ton of good, though, because Cristina is flippant and sullen and can't bring herself to even answer questions about how they might treat a patient, much less actually help with anything in surgery. Derek finally talks to her and tells her that she's got the most potential of almost anyone he's ever seen, but she finally admits that she doesn't even remember his surgery, except for bits that sneak up on her like in the OR last week, and that she just wants to be left alone. He decides to take a step back, and instead helps her through reenacting his surgery on a corpse, but it obviously doesn't do what Derek wishes it would, as she admits to Owen later that she might be happy being a plumber instead.

Derek has quite a day overall -- in addition to the difficult task of trying to help Cristina, his little sister Amy shows up at the hospital because he's been ignoring her calls ever since he was shot. She brings him a "gift" in the form of a guy with a brain tumor, and he figures out that she met the guy while having a mile-high tryst on the way to Seattle. Amy is also a neurosurgeon, but she seems like a loose cannon and Derek wants nothing to do with her, so he tries to keep her out of the OR and away from him, though fairly unsuccessfully. Mere doesn't get why he seems to hate her until he explains that Amy totaled his car while high on drugs that she obtained by stealing his prescription pad. It turns out that she's always acted out due to her own trauma of being there with Derek when their father was shot and killed, and that all she's really ever wanted to do is actually talk about it with him. When he finally opens up about it, they have a Moment and seem to get back on the right track with each other.

Lexie, Bailey and Mark get a patient whose entire body is covered in warts -- to the extent that his hands look like grotesque gray-green claws and his face looks like he's wearing a fright mask. Lexie flips out when she first sees him and so Bailey makes her work closely on him all day as penance. Lexie feels a little bit better, though, when a spider crawls out of one of the growths during surgery and Bailey starts dancing around and screaming like a little girl, proving that everyone has something about which they can't always stay totally cool. Lexie also still thinks that Mark thinks she is a freak, but in a drunken moment April finally tells her that Mark clearly is still in love with her. Lexie looks rather pleased with this idea, but when she goes to find him, he's about to embark on a couple of quality hours in the on-call room with none other than Amy.

And finally, everyone faces up to some hard truths that they'd all rather not talk about, for instance: April is a virgin, Alex is afraid of the elevator, and Teddy has a pattern of only picking unavailable men. While the Chiefhelps Alex by riding in the elevator with him until he is bored rather than scared, April and Teddy are still on their own for now.

Tartan Chic


Taylor Momsen dressed fabulously in tartan chic and thigh high boots while filming Gossip Girl Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass on Friday.


Drug Arrest

Chace Crawford has been arrested for marijuana possession in Plano, Texas. Police caught him with an unlit joint in a Plano parking lot shortly after midnight on Friday morning. He was charged with a misdemeanor and later bailed out.

Chace had just returned from a trip to Mexico at a luxury resort with his sister Candice, her boyfriend Tony Romo, father Chris and mother Dana. His next role will be in the new movie Twelve, where he plays a teenage drug dealer. Chace just recently dropped out of the Footloose remake.

Los Angeles Confidential

Chace Crawford is on the cover of the Los Angeles Confidential. On living in New York and Los Angeles:

“I love being in LA. New York and LA are polar opposites. I’m a Dallas boy, so for the weather, LA is where it’s at. I think the New York winters may end up driving me back out to the West Coast. What makes Hollywood Hollywood is the weather. The sun kind of hits you different out here.”

Kiss on The Upper East Side

Penn Badgley surprised his girlfriend Blake Lively with a kiss during a break on the set of Gossip Girl.

I think this is really sweet and I think they make a really good couple. What do you think?

Season Premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta

I can already tell by the first ten minutes of the premiere that this will be a very interesting season. The first episode starts with Nene and Kim going to a shoe party. Nene then sees her ex-friend Dwight and begins screaming. Apparently, he was spreading rumors that Nene's husband, Greg, owes him $10,000. Nene argues that it was only $500 so she writes Dwight a check. He rips it up in pieces and insists that it must be given to him in cash. The two make a huge scene and Nene and Kim end up leaving the party.

There is a new girl in town and her name is Phaedra Parks. She refers to herself as s "southern belle." She is 8 months pregnant and told us this last episode that she wants to name her baby with a traditional name because she does not like when people name their children with abnormal names. Yet, I am pretty sure the name "Phaedra" is not a traditional name.. Just by seeing the first episode she already seems to be extremly annoying about how she considers herself to be so beautiful and wonderful.

Finally, Kim and Nene are friends. Or is this to good to be true? They said they have their differences, but they both love being around eachother since they always make eachother laugh. Nene accepts that Kim is a bisexual and does not place judgement on her. This is a first step to a good friendship.

Season Finale of Real Housewives of DC

The Real Housewives of DC season finale has finally aired. America has been watching this boring show for weeks waiting for the eposide where the Salahis' crash the White House dinner. We all watched last weekend as the Salahis' got ready at a hair salon and a hair stylist asked Michaele to see her invitation. Michaele was scrambling around in her car searching for the "missing" invitation.

The Salahis' enter their obnoxious - white stretch limo as their interesting night begins. We watch them sit in silence as they bit their nails, stare at their cell phones, and Tareq twitch. Their nerves definetly gave it away that they were about to do something they were not supposed to.

BRAVO TV cameras followed them for as long as they could before they were asked to leave the property. We saw The Salahis' walk up to their first security check point, where a secret service member tells them they are not on the list. They are then asked to wait in an certain area and that is when the cameras were asked to leave the property.

People wonder how can someone crash the white house dinner? Well perhaps it was because they looked the part. The Salahis' looked as though they were in fact invited. The two showed up in a limo and were dressed in an Indian Sari and a tuxedo. The Salahis' looked as if they were important people who should have been there. The secret service securtiy may have thought the couple looked like important people and security did not want to embarass them by telling the Salahis' they could not enter the dinner.

That night, Michaele had posted picture on heir facebook with the vice president, Joe Biden, and other prominent political people. By the next day, those pictures and the Salahis' name was all over the news. They were being called "The White House Party Crashers." The couple was all over the tabloids for being the first people to sneak into a white house state dinner.

Later in the episode, the Salahis' go over to Stacie and her husband's house for a drink. Michaele arrives and begins to talk about the decor of the house, it was so fake and so obvious that there was a HUGE elephant in the room. Cat notices this and leaves the room, but before she leaves she tells the Salahis' exactly what she thinks of them and how disgusted she is. After she leaves, Sacie and her husband ask the Salahis' what exactly happend that night. As soon as this is brought up Michaele puts on her coat and says she is "not allowed to talk about this." She says that she does not understand why they cannot talk about other things. Stacie explains that there is no way anyone could possibly talk about "other things" with such a huge elephant in the room. Michaele and her husband then leave Stacie's house through the back door.

Is Michaele serious? Did she really expect for no one to bring up the white house incident? It only made headline news. Is she really that stupid to think Stacie only invited her over to talk about "other things?"

90210's 2021 Vision (S3, E3)

In this episode of 90210, Naomi is still feeling the effects of Mr.Cannon's rape. Of course who wouldn't? But now more than ever, it's really starting to affect her. She now has trouble sleeping because she's constantly having flashbacks of the night he raped her. So, she tries turning to tv and relaxation tapes and those don't work. That's when it takes a turn for the worse...since nothing else was working, she turns to sleeping pills. Let's just say she popped a couple and it didn't work so she popped a few more and oh yeah, she was drinking alcohol with it so then what happened? Well, Silver walks in and finds her passed out!! Oh yeah, and whats goin on with Silver? Hmmm...so remember when she didn't believe Naomi when she told her that Mr. cannon raped her? It turns out Silver found out herself when Mr. Cannon invited her in his house and tried to drug her tea with some date rape drugs, but good thing Silver was smart enough to notice before it was too late! What was probably the most unexpected part of this episode, for me, was when Teddy woke up(after a night of drinking) in someone else's bed!! Wait til Silver finds out that he's been drinking again! And that he's sleeping with other people! But you might be wondering what part of that was unexpected...well did I forget to mention that Teddy slept with a guy!!! As for Oscar, he's still up to his usual...bringing more tension to Dixon and Ivy's relationship. Oscar told Dixon that Ivy was a virgin with the intention of creating tension between Dixon and Ivy. Dixon was upset that Ivy couldn't be honest with him. Annie also confronts her boss after she starts to get suspicious about her boss's wierd behavior and finds out that the reason why she and her husband were acting so weird was because they are unable to conceive children and makes Annie an offer that she might not be able to refuse. Adrianna, on the other hand, sings a song at Javier's memorial hoping that everyone thinks is hers when it's really Javier's. It even becomes a huge hit and this becomes a problem when someone has a video of Javier singing the song months before he died! Uh oh doesn't sound good for Adrianna!

Here's the preview for this episode...hope you like it!!

Desperate Housewives S7 E1: "Remember Paul?"

Sorry I haven't updated sooner than I should have! Unfortunately, I have been sick and busy, but I also went home this weekend and left my laptop at college! It was nearly impossible to find time to do an update when I was sick; moreover, I promised to help my friend work at Reaper's Realm's haunted mansion this weekend. I couldn't call off because it would be last minute and with Halloween approaching soon, it would not have been appropriate so....I know there is no excuse but no worries I have a lot of juicy updates for our favorite shows right here right now!

So, who is Paul again? Of course, when you see his face it's hard not to remember especially since he is the guy who murdered a woman and caused what is most likely the biggest and JUICIEST controversy Wisteria Lane has ever known. In case, you didn't remember Paul so much, or what exactly he did...I'll update you now because the story is so much better when you know what he did! So, here's how the story goes: Mary Alice Young ( the narrator of the series and also Paul Young's wife) committed suicide because Mrs. Huber found out the Youngs' secret through her sister, Felicia Tilman, and blackmailed Mary Alice. This resulted in Mary Alice's suicide. So what happened after that? Well, Paul found out Mrs. Huber was the one who wrote the note blackmailing his wife and killed her. This only gets more intense when Mrs. Huber's sister, Felicia Tilman, finds out that Paul murdered her sister. So what does Felicia do? She slices a couple of her fingers off and frames Paul Young for her own murder!! Watch this if that was too much for you!




Ok, so now that we're up to speed with Paul Young and Felicia...I think we can continue on with the premiere recap! Well, first of all, Paul returns to Wisteria Lane and we all know he has some sort of alterior motive. He moves into Susan's house since her, Paul, and MJ moved out due to their financial problems. However, she had NO idea Paul was going to be the one living in her house. So to begin and initiate his plan, he wants to make sure to tell the other housewives of Wisteria Lane that he was freed because Felicia did in fact stage his death and he also wanted to rub in that he wasn't a murderer and that they were not supportive of him at all during the court trial or when it came to visiting him in jail. We don't know the exact details of Paul's plan but he's on the move! But he better watch his back too because if it goes according to Felicia's plan, Paul will be dead in 6 months! Like many of us are curious to know, how can she have Paul dead in 6 months if she's going to be in jail for more than 6 months? Well, she claims she has friends that live on Wisteria Lane that will do the job...is she right or does Paul have more tricks up his sleeve? I guess we have to find out on the next episode! But in the meantime, you are probably wondering what's going on with all the other characters in the show. Well, another part of the finale they left us hanging on to for the whole summer was the whole baby switch...and surprisingly they reveal whose baby got switched! BLOOPER ALERT - It turns out that Juanita Solis isn't really Carlos and Gaby's biological baby! Carlos finds out, but doesn't have the heart to tell Gabi, while Gabi has a secret of her own that she doesn't want Carlos to find out. What's
Gaby's dirty little secret? Well, Bree told her that it was Andrew who killed Carlos's mom in a hit and run accident. After finding out, Gabi didn't have the heart to tell Carlos. So, they're both keeping pretty big, dark secrets from each other & if you ask me, I think it's going to create some tension between the two because secrets don't stay secrets for long on Wisteria Lane.

And of course we can't forget about the new housewife dilemma! Well, her name is Renee Perry and she's a college friend of Lynettes. She's rich and married to a baseball player. Her and Lynette seem to have an interesting relationship where they basically just insult each other back and forth. Renee isn't exactly afraid to speak her mind, especially when it comes to Lynette. Renee doesn't hesitate to tell us about Lynette's threesome in college! Renee loves tells Renee to live somewhere else because she doesn't want her staying at her house. This is when we find out that Renee's rich, baseball player of a husband left her!

Stay tuned for more updates! Here's the preview for the next episode!

Part One: Britney/Brittany



Sorry about this late post. I am in college and went home this weekend for my cousin’s first birthday and forgot my computer at school. I also had no time to even sit down to write all weekend. So I’m writing now since I just got back about an hour ago.

First thing’s first, I loved the Britney/Brittany episode so much! It’s probably one of my favorite Glee episodes music wise. Some of my other favorite episodes where The Power of Madonna episode and the Theatricality episode where they did Lady Gaga songs. But I thought that this episode seemed different from other episodes. It could be because 5 out of the 6 songs were Britney Spears songs, or because Brittany finally got to sing a song by herself, which I loved. Either way, it was different and I loved it.

On this episode, the glee club was getting ready for the fall homecoming assembly. The majority of the kids want to do Britney Spears with the exception of Brittany who says that she has been hiding in the shadows of Spears her entire life, and Santana ends up supporting her. Will says that they won’t be performing a Britney Spears song because he doesn’t think that she is a good role model.

Later Will talks with Emma and she tells him that he is too uptight and needs to relax. In the middle of their talk, Emma’s new boyfriend, Carl, walks in and interrupts. Will is obviously jealous and somehow they decide that Carl is going to talk to the glee kids about dental health. During the talk, he finds out that some of the kids need help on their teeth and Carl gets some more patients.

Brittany is the first to have an appointment with Carl and has to have anesthesia for the work that he has to do on her teeth. This is when Brittany goes into this hallucination and is singing Britney Spears’ “I’m a Slave 4 U.”

When it comes to Brittany’s dancing abilities, I really think that she outshines everybody in the glee club, with the exception of Mike. I looked up her past experience and she was actually a back up dancer for Beyonce. She did the “Single Ladies” dance with Beyonce! I really couldn’t believe it when I first read that. Get it, Brit!

I liked the fact that they used the same outfits and concepts from Spears’ music videos. However, I noticed that during “I’m a Slave 4 U” they mixed certain scense from the “Toxic” music video and she was also wearing the red jumpsuit from the “Oops I Did it Again” video. I thought that it worked and all, but I just didn’t understand why they did it during that song, and none of the others. I was also surprised at how risqué some of the scenes in that video were and they actually allowed it on the show. I guess some people might have also thought that the scene in The Power of Madonna episode were they sang “Like a Virgin” was a bit much. I guess I was just really excited at how much they were allowing the kids to do.

Anyways, after Brittany has her Britney fantasy, Santana wants to have one too. She talks Carl into giving her anesthesia. Her and Brittany actually have the same fantasy where they are doing the “Me Against the Music” video. Brittany obviously acts as Britney Spears and Santana plays Madonna. I thought that this video/fantasy was also really good. I think that it showcased Brittany’s dancing abilities so well. I’m glad that they finally decided to give her an episode devoted to her character. I think that she is a wonderful actress/dancer and that this should’ve happened sometime last season.

Well, I realize that I’m only half way through the episode, but I need to get to bed because I have an exam tomorrow morning. Goodnight all, and I will continue this post tomorrow.
