Turkey, Turkey, Turkey, Turkey, Turkey  ← This is my turkey chant....can you hear it! Why don't you give it a try, lol! Chant away!  I know you want to. I'm ready to grub. Ugh! why can't it be Thanksgiving already!! Hurry up and get here!

Ahem......to all the Twi-lighters, Twi-Hards, Twi-Moms, Twi-Teens, Twi-Men or whatever you are, while you're waiting your many hours in line with your friends, snacks,  twilight shirts, posters, or other.  I will be nice and toasty in my bed asleep.  I can wait till next week to watch it.  I want to enjoy the movie and not hear girls/ moms scream when Jacob Black takes his shirt off, or die hard fans snicker that this scene was not how it was in the book. For goodness sake, it's a movie! While I enjoyed the books and the movies, I'm not dreaming of becoming a vampire or being imprinted on by a wolf. So, with that being said.  Enjoy the movie and don't worry about spoiling it for me, I already know how it ends. LOL!   I personally think it's a waste to buy t-shirts, dolls or what ever else is out there.  I pay to watch the movie and I pay to buy the movie when it comes outs.  That's all they're getting from me. Yes, I admit I'm team Edward!!

 ≈8^€  ← (lol, like my Vampire Edward)

Okay, I totally think Bradley Cooper is a hottie and it's fine that People magazine named him Sexiest Man. That's awesome, but my only complaint is the pic they used for the cover.....WHAT!!!! There are sooooooo many other pics that are waaaaaaaayyy sexier than that!!  Very disappointed with the pic......No wonder people are upset, he doesn't look that great.  So, I've posted a pic of him that I like!!  And I like his hair long!! YUMMY!

Have you heard!! There's a on-line boycott to remove the Kardashian's from TV! If you would like to sign the petition go here , since my last visit there are now 114,967 signatures.  It's insane! I did watch the first season of Keeping up with the Kardashians, but then there were all the other spin-offs, they take Miami, then NYC!!  To many of them is too much.  I did enjoy Khloe and Lamar's show, (1) gal I can handle.   They're people just like us, well kind of,  Not all of us have Famous sex tapes, married to basket ball stars, have perfume/clothing lines, Olympic gold medalist as a step-dad, a brother on Dancing with the stars, Modeling little sisters, one of them who turned 16 and got a 2012 black RangeRover, a crazy Momager, a douche of a baby daddy aka Scott in the family (okay who doesn't have that)....see we're just like them. <sarcasm>  


What is your opinion on it.  






Well I hope that everyone enjoys their Holiday next week.  I will not be on-line, I need a vacation from the net.  When I get back I will be posting some new items that I've been making.  Have a awesome day!

Say it isn't so!!! Boo-hoo!

Well I guess Kris Humphries (aka Mr. Kardashian) got the trick today!!  Kim K. has filed for divorce!!  

Really people are you really that surprised!!  Like you didn't think...oh isn't this her 2nd quickie wedding...oh, but they're just so cute together. 

It will last forever.....well that's a big NOPE!!

I hope you didn't watch the fairy-tale wedding....cause I sure didn't!

Super Bowl XLV

Super Bowl Sunday and food is like 2nd best to like Award shows and food....well to me at least!  I'm not a die hard football person, but I do like to watch it with my honey. This year it was just us two with wings and pizza....yummo!! 

It was definitely a good game!!  I was going for the Steelers and my honey was going for the Packers....obviously you know the outcome of the game.  It was a close game towards the end.  Honestly it was entertaining. 

Go Packers....for all you CheeseHeads out there!!

Hey doesn't the Steelers Head coach Mike Tomlin look like Omar Epps with a beard....they're not like twins but they look really similar. I wonder if they're related in anyway!!




Mike Tomlin (l) and Omar Epps (r)



Ok, the obvious first screw up was Christina Aguilera's rendition of the National Anthem.... It was obvious to me cause I was singing along, even though most people had no clue!!  I tweeted about it as soon as it happened..lol!!  Yes, I tweet and I tweeted up a storm yesterday.   Was it me or did Christina look a little rough....that bleach blond hair needs to go.   We get it she knows how to sing, but for once can someone just sing the National Anthem....without all the extra vocals....yaaaaaayaaaaayaaaaa....or oooohhoooohhhoohhhh! It just kind of bugs me.  The Glee girl sang good, even though it was a little Disneyish to me, but over all very good!! 

The Black Eyed Peas meh or okay?.... the sound guy sucked!!  I felt like I was in Tron for a bit too... I was waiting for Jeff Bridges to come out, lol!!  Honestly if it was just Will.I.am he could have done it by himself....it was practically the Will.I.am half-time show anyway!!  Sorry Fergs...you didn't need to be there!! And I think she murdered "Sweet Child of Mine" with Slash...lol!!  She did look good though!  Usher...sorry hun....you didn't have to be there either!  Again it was the Will.I.am Show!!  Well this was one of the better half-time shows from the past years, thanks to Janet and her nipple or nipple ring, Seriously people look down you have them too, just not everyone has it pierced!!!  lol

It was fun seeing all of the Celebs there too....Except....the barftastic Cameron Diaz feeding A-Rod popcorn!!  lol!

Well I think I only had (2 or 3) favorite commercials.....the VW and Little Darth...that was the cutest!  I loved, loved, loved the Chrysler/M&M commercial and The M&M BriskTea was great!  The creepiest was the Finger licking, pant sniffing Doritos commercial.....GROSS!!!   Let's just say I won't be eating Doritos anytime soon.  The Coke commercials were eehhh!!  I'll have to watch alot of them again!!

Well that's it for Super Bowl Sunday 45!!

Audition

I went on my first audition on Friday!! It was scary and exciting at the same time, I thought about turning around like 4 times.  I've been called to other auditions but I never went, I was too scared or nervous to go.  After doing this audition my mind is made up that I will go to all of them from no on.  ☺  I mean all I'm doing is playing a character, what am I afraid of.  I thought it would be something totally different.  While sitting there with others that are auditioning for the same part, I felt weird, I couldn't talk to them or even look at them. HELLOOOO we're competitors...lol!!  I'm gonna have to approach that differently next time.

It's for the lead role in a non-paid, short-film.  Which is fine, even if I don't get the part I need the experience of going to auditions.  The director and producers said I did very good for this being my 1st audition.  I'm not sure if it's just what they say or they actually meant it....oh well!  Should hear something this week!! 

Well I know I won't become famous overnight, it's hard work until you can catch a lucky break!!  I hope mine is soon! ☺

"You have to crawl, before you walk"

Wow, Wow, Wow for the Fighter!

Oh my, this had to be one of the best movies I've seen!!   Can I just say....Christian Bale is sooooo amazing!!  Like I said-he is SUPERB!!!   I think it is absolutely mind blowing how he just becomes the character he is portraying.   His method of acting is incredible and intense. Christian believes he is the person, so it's believable to the viewer. I just love him...except when he throws little temper tantrums...but can you really blame him.   I'm sure it is distracting if he is in character and someone just pops onto the set while you're doing a scene.

*side note -  I'm still kind of sad Jo (Winona Ryder) rejected Laurie (Christian Bale) for that guy (Gabriel Byrne) on 1994's Little Women,  Well he married her little sister...so I guess it was nice to keep it in the family!! lol!


Didn't get a chance to watch True Grit......we had to watch our guilty pleasure Jersey Shore!!  I know it's a disgusting habit but I can't help it!!  ☺ Plus, I just had to see Snooki all plastered on the beach.  That show is like a train wreck happening and you can't seem to turn away!

Golden Globes & Food (my kind of Sunday)

*(same foods from my last post....lol!)

OMG.....

I♥theGoldenGlobes!!

I love to see all the fashion, I love to see all of the nominated actors or actresses, I love it!! 

The Host of the evening was Ricky Gervais.....this was his second year doing it.

Gervais had tons to say as the night progressed, poking fun at Hugh Hefner, Charlie Sheen, Cher, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson, Scientologists and Robert Downey Jr., among others. My fave was when he said Bruce Willis was Ashton Kutcher's dad....lol!

"The Social Network" won top honors at the Golden Globes. Winning best drama and director, probably making it a Academy Awards favorite.

Winning the award for actor/actress in a lead role was Colin Firth for "The King's Speech" and Natalie Portman for "Black Swan."   I personally have not seen The Kings speech, Colin is an awesome actor so I can't wait to see that.  I did see Black  Swan....this movie was Amazing and intense and Beautifully done.   Natalie deserved this award...and I can say she will probably win the Academy Award for this movie too!! 

Lead-acting honors for the Globes' musical or comedy categories went to Annette Bening for the lesbian-family story "The Kids Are All Right" and Paul Giamatti for the "Barney's Version."  I have yet to see these.


The boxing drama "The Fighter" earned both supporting actor Globes, for Christian Bale <--- this dude is fierce and Melissa Leo.

David Fincher, directing winner for "The Social Network,"   I know I'm late, but I haven't seen this one either!

Portman thanked the film's choreographer, her fiance Benjamin Millepied, with whom she's expecting a child. (Congrats)  He also appears in the movie, and his character doesn't want to sleep with hers.
"He's the best actor! It's not true, he totally wants to sleep with me," Portman said, giggling.  (tmi)  we know he wanted you....you two are having a baby...lol!!

Among TV winners, "Glee" won three prizes, best comedy and supporting-acting prizes for Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer. "Boardwalk Empire" won two prizes, for best drama and dramatic actor for Steve Buscemi.  I love, love, love Boardwalk Empire.....well deserved win for Steve Buscemi.

Annette Bening won the musical or comedy actress prize in a field that included "The Kids Are All Right" co-star Julianne Moore. The film stars Bening and Moore as a couple whose family falls into turmoil after their teen children seek out the sperm donor that fathered them.
"I'm very proud to be a part of this very special film about two women who are deeply in love and try to keep their family together," Bening said. "My partner, Julianne Moore, I have to thank first. She asked me to do the picture with her. She made it possible for us to shoot it where we shot it, when we did, so Julianne -- you are a class act, thank you."     I have yet to see this one too....it looks amazing!  Julianne and Annette are two beautiful and classic women in the film industry.


Robert De Niro received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement. I'm not sure about his acceptance speech...we'll see if anyone says anything about that!


Over all it was a great show....even if I did only get to see Robert Pattinson, for like 3 seconds....he was handsome!  There were a lot of other movies and show that won but it's too many to name!!

Can't wait for the Academy Awards.....I hope to someday go and maybe accept an award!!  One day!
