Wednesday's What's Up With That?

So I love SYTYCD (for those of you living under a rock, that's So You Think You Can Dance).  Last week, Lady Gaga was the guest judge. 

I know she's strange, but she brought it all out in her appearance in which she judged the contestants last Wednesday.

I don't know about you, but I have been in the "dance community" since I was four years of age.  At no point did I ever see, or hear of anyone throwing a shoe on stage.  However, Lady Gaga insists that in the "dance community when you do a really good job, what you do is you throw your shoe on stage" and then she proceeded to take off her heinous shoe and chuck it on stage at Sasha and Melanie. 

Not only that, but her show was gigantor and probably weighed 20 lbs., if that throw had been a little off she could have hurt someone. 

I wonder who got to keep the shoe? I wonder what one would do with ONE Lady Gaga shoe... not that two would have been any better because I sure as heck wouldn't wear them.  SO what would YOU do with one gigantor Lady Gaga shoe?

I would sell it.  For sure.

Wednesday's What's Up With That!?

Charlie Sheen is nuts. NUTS! However, it's like a train wreck that you just can't help but watch. It's fascinating how he continues to spiral completely out of control. 

The most recent event is that he is hiring (as in for money) a Social Media Intern to manage his now over 2 million followers on Twitter as well as his other social media networks. 

You can check out the whole article here, which includes a link to the online application to become Charlie's Social Media Intern.

I have to admit - I considered copying my outcome to this awesome Charlie Sheen rant mad lib as my application.

In case you were curious, my very own Charlie Sheen rant is as follows:

I am on a drug. It’s called Elizabeth. If you try it once, you will yank. Your esophagus will melt off, and your minions will plummet over your stabbed body … I’m tired of pretending like I’m not baffled—a total freaking waitress from Uranus. I’ve got coyote blood, Apollo DNA! … They picked a fight with a vampire. They’re trying to take all my mellons and leave me with no means to poke my family. It’s not oceanography! They owe me an apology while licking my pelvis … I don’t think people are ready for the chair I’m delivering, and delivering with a sense of hideous love. I exposed idiots to magic! Here’s your mucus test. Next one goes in your belly button!

You know you wanna try.....

Wednesday's What's Up With That!?

So I love dance.  I grew up dancing ballet, jazz, hip hop, etc.  I even took a swing class many years back.  Naturally I love the dancing shows - specifically So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) and Dancing With the Stars (DWTS). 

Monday night the upcoming stars for the new seasons of DWTS was announced........ boy was I disappointed. 

The following are the new season's cast of "stars".... and I use that term loosely:

1) Chelsea Kane - WHO? Seriously, never heard of her.  Ever.  Her photo doesn't even ring a bell.

2) Chris Jericho - Huh? Who's that? Apparently a wrestler or something. I don't watch wrestling, but I do watch ESPN news in the morning each and every weekday and to my knowledge I've NEVER heard his name mentioned.  Again, I'm staring blankly at his photo, although he's somewhat easy on the eyes.

3) Hines Ward - FINALLY a person I not only recognize the name, but is a legitimate "star" so to speak (in the sports field anyways).  I like him.  My husband does not.  Although football players have historically done pretty well on this show.... I'm just saying.

4) Kendra Wilkinson - Oh no. PLEASE NO! I hate her.  There are very few people that I hate.  Few people that get on my nerves as much as this person.  I've literally watched all of 5 minutes of that most ridiculous show (The Girls Next Door) and immediately had to turn it off as I was losing brain cells at a rapid pace.  I also (unfortunately) saw her interviewed on Chelsea Lately.  She's so..... crass.  Ugh. No!

5) Kirstie Alley - Okay. I've heard of her. I know who she is. She's a "B-list star" at most, but eh, I don't care either way on this one.  She comes across as having a strong personality, so we will see how that goes.  Maybe she'll be the next Kate (from Jon and Kate Plus 8). 

6) Mike Catherwood - refer to person number one. Ditto. Oh, replace "her" with "him". 

7) Petra Nemcova - shrug. Who is this? I VAGUELY remember a story of a model and a tsunami, but I would never have come up with her name, nor would I have recognized her photo. 

8) Ralph Macchio - so I've heard of the Karate Kid but never seen it. I've also never seen My Cousin Vinny.  So he's been in 2 movies. Is that  his only claim to fame? What has he done recently? Anything? Anything?

9) Romeo (aka Lil' Romeo) - I've heard his music. Wouldn't have recognized him, he's not really a "star" in my eyes.  Shrug.

10) Sugar Ray Leonard - I don't watch boxing, but I've heard his name.

11) Wendy Williams - Never heard of her either. I understand she has her own talk show or something, but I work during the day, so I've never seen it and I don't recall seeing a commercial for it.

Maybe I live under a rock? Do I live under a rock? Is it just me or is ABC using the term "star" loosely these days? I feel like maybe they're desperate and taking anyone who will agree? This is just pathetic.  What is up with that ABC!? This is your list of "stars"?  I love your show, but COME ON!

Sigh. I'll still watch.  Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

EDIT TO ADD: This line-up is almost as laughable as Skating With the "Stars".

Best of the Grammys

I'll say it here - I LOVE EMINEM.  I always have, always will.  He's talented.  If you think otherwise, you clearly don't know what talent is.  You may not like what he has to say, or be offended by him, but you cannot deny his amazing talent.  He's good at what he does.

His performance (specifically the part with Dr. Dre) was hands down the best performance of last night's Grammys.  He's good.  Really good.  I also like Dr. Dre, so that didn't hurt. 



Yes I drew the hearts. Shut up.

I was thrilled to see him take home rap album of the year for "Recovery".  If you don't already have a copy I suggest you pick one up ASAP.  My favorite songs are WTP, No Love (feat. Lil' Wayne (who scares me)), and Space Bound.  Oh I also like 25 to Life. 

I enjoyed hearing Lady Antebellum sing.  I think they have amazing voices and I do like their song (sorry Laura). 

It was great to hear Norah Jones sing.  I like her.

I also liked Lady Gaga's performance.  Her entrance on the egg thing definitely peaked every one's curiosity and it was nice to see here in a relatively "normal" get-up.  She's a great performer and singer, so I enjoyed that. 

Muse rocked.  I did like Mumford, but wish they had done their more popular song.

I also liked the Aretha Franklin tribute which kicked off the show.  Jennifer Hudson and Christina were the best by far, but everyone did a great job.

There were a few people superbly dressed. 

Julianne Hough. I pick her not only because I love her and wish she would come back to Dancing With the Stars, but because I think she looked absolutely stunning last night.

J Lo looked hot.  Although I think her dress is a little short for her age, she was able to rock it for sure.

Eva Longoria looked good as always too.

Well that's my good recap of last night. I did enjoy watching the Grammys overall.  I haven't watched in years and I am glad I did.  The pre-show Red Carpet on E was a must-watch for sure as otherwise you wouldn't have seen some of the hideous outfits that luckily some of the stars changed out of (cough Katy Perry). 

Anywho, thanks for reading! Did you watch the Grammys? Who do you think had the best performance or was best dressed?

Check out my friend Jen's picks here on her blog!

Wednesday's What's Up With That!?

Errrr..... Monday. Whatever. I couldn't wait.  I stayed up until after 11pm (which is way late for me) trying to watch all of the Grammys.  Barbara Streisand put me to sleep though so I had to call it a night, so this dose of "What's Up With That!?" features only through her performance. 

Sorry I couldn't wait until Wednesday, some of the clothing (and performances) were just too terrible to put off a few more days without commentary.

First up, I watched the red carpet show.  While some stars dazzled the red carpet, others left me with raised eyebrows and disapproving head nods. 

Katy Perry - why did no one comment on her wings? How could Ryan Seacrest NOT say anything about her wings, simply only asking who did her dress? How about who's brilliant (sarcasm) idea was it to add wings to this dress?

Next up, Rihanna. What the heck!? I can see everything. Everything! Who thought this was a good idea.  Worse - I actually saw her listed on some one's best dressed list this morning. HUH!?

Some chick who's name I don't even know from Glee is next on my list.  Check out her necklace/shoulder pad thingy.  What is that? Ick.

Next up, Hayley from Paramore (sorry Laura) AND Pauley Perrette (from NCIS).  I love them both and they are both adorable girls, but their dresses didn't do anything for their cute figures.  It made Hayley look like she had a boy figure and Pauley look like she was ridiculously tall.... and weird looking.

Gwyneth Paltrow - although her outfit was okay, boring at best, her earrings looked like they belonged.... somewhere else. Hideous. Oh and I was not impressed with her singing performance either for that matter.

Heidi Klum - a gorgeous woman with the wrong dress.  This dress made her body shape look really really weird.  Poor choice whoever dressed her.

Miley Cyrus - although her dress wasn't all together bad, her side boob is what ruined it.  They were like hanging out the sides, made it totally trashy and just plain blah.  I couldn't get a good pic, but you can sorta see in the below pic.  Also, totally unimpressed with her jewelery, if that's what you even call it?

Uhhh.... did you guys check out this outfit? I don't know what's worse, the outfit or the hair. I think I have to go with the hair. Thank you Nicki Minaj for being a complete eye sore.

The cake has to go, however, to Cee Lo Green (although Nicki was a close second). He looks like a ghetto big bird.  I don't even know what else to say.  I think the photo speaks for itself.....

There were many other questionable get-ups, but these are the ones that really stood out to me and made me say "What's up with that!?". 

The performances were also iffy - Bob Dylan - please don't ever sing again.  I almost had to put the TV on mute, it was painful for us listeners to suffer through, even with the talent you had attempting to sing over you so we didn't have to listen to your god-awful voice.

Mick Jagger - settle down. You're 67 years old, clearly on something and obviously think you still possess some type of sex appeal.  You don't.  Stop now. 

Barbara Streisand.  Ugh, it was about here when I started to snooze and had to go to bed.  Her performance was beyond boring.  Why did they have her again?

Rihanna - I love you but you were NOT on your A game.  Many-a-note were way off.  Katy Perry - this goes for you too.  It was bad.

Justin Beiber - Can't stand him.  I honestly thought he only had one song, so I must say I was surprised when he sang a different song other than that annoying "Baby baby baby ooooh".... blah blah blah. Shut up. 

Well that wraps it up for my Wednesday's (errr Monday's) What's Up With That!? Who do you think was the worst dressed or delivered the worst performance of the night?
