Michael Jackson's final curtain call, "This Is It"

Tim and I went to see MJ's movie, "This Is It" last night and I have to say I was quite impressed. I have new found respect and admiration for his creative talent. The only negative I have about the whole movie was the length. It could have been about a 1/2 hour shorter, but all in all it kept my attention the whole time. That was a great feat in and of itself, being that we went to the 10:15 movie and I am normally in bed by 10:00. It was great to see the King of Pop in action. The way he moved, made it so very hard for me to believe he was 50. He moved like a teenager and kept me dancing and singing the entire time. Watching the movie also made it so hard to think that MJ is actually dead. I really believe he was taken too soon. I was not a fan of MJ as a person, but his music and dancing abilities were like none other. Genius, pure Genius!

RIP - Ashley Jewell

I'm a "Housewives of Atlanta" follower and was stunned at the news of Kandi's ex-fiance, Ashley Jewell, AKA "AJ", being killed over the weekend. My thoughts and prayers go out to AJ's family and friends, especially his children who are left behind.

Patrick Swayze (1952-2009)

Every time I saw the ending of Dirty Dancing, I got chills up and down my spine. It's one of my all time favorites. Patrick Swayze will be missed.

Jon tries Kate's hat on for size

Is he trying to be funny?

Say it ain't so Joe!

Will they please tell Joe Jackson to quit talking.

Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner

I loved this movie growing up! So much so that I can recite it from beginning to end. It's even funnier when you hear Channing Tatum & Charlyne Yi recite it with a comical twist.

I'm so excited about the 6th season of Hell's Kitchen tonight with Gordon Ramsey. Anyone else a fan or are you completely despise the show?

What do you think of Black Lewis' new song - "Sad Song"? I feel like I'm back in the 80's!

Are you buying Chris Brown's apology?

Kermit Would Be So Proud

This is too funny, look at what Lady GaGa decides to wear to a German interview. Too funny!

It's amazing how much these two look alike.

Jon & Kate X2

Jon Gosselin was spotted this weekend out with Kate Major, a reporter for Star Magazine. Nothing like sleeping with the enemy.... it seems if you don't like the publicity, then don't date a reporter.

Jon's just getting around since his separation from the Mrs. isn't he? Wonder if Ms. Hailey knows of Jon's whereabouts over the weekend. And by the way, what's this crap being reported on People.com about Jon and Hailey not dating until Kate filed divorce papers. I wholeheartedly don't believe that BS and I also don't believe that Jon was "heartbroken" about the dissolution of his marriage. And one other thing, do you really think Kate is the one that told Jon to "take a hike"? I don't!

Jon's New Bachelor Pad

Well, Johnny Boy has been busy since his separation from wife, Kate, from Jon & Kate + 8. It seems he's rented an apartment in NYC, headed to St. Tropez with his new girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, and may possibly be a new kids fashion designer. Alot happens when you don't have 9 people depending on you. I hope he realizes what he's put his family through once he gets over his mid-life crisis. I'm ready for him to grow up already.

Daughtry

I was listening to Gayle King on Oprah Radio this morning, and yesterday she interviewed Chris Daughtry from the band Daughtry. I have such admiration for him and the band. Out of all the bands out there right now, Daughtry seems to be the most real and down to earth. It doesn't seem like the fame and fortune has gone too much to their heads. They were there to promote their new CD, "Leave This Town", which by the way is phenomenal.

When they played the following song, the hair stood straight UP on the back of my neck. The music, the lyrics, everything about it blows me away.

The video itself is so powerful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylgchWR-Ig

Michael Jackson's Dance Influences

Who knew, Michael Jackson wasn't the first to do the moonwalk?

Jeffrey Daniel's influence on Michael Jackson

What a prick!

Jon Gosselin is such a lying prick!! Family friend my ass. Jon and his "girlfriend", Hailey Glassman (Doctor's daughter that performed Kate's tummy tuck) are photographed in Saint Tropez this weekend. What a prick!

Update 7/13 - You know, I'm not done with this prick! I don't care how Kate treated Jon! Not to say she wasn't wrong for treating him like he was a child, but if you act like a child then you should be treated like a child. He knew what type of personality she had when he proposed marriage to her. He definitely knew what she was like when they decided to get pregnant with the twins and by the 2nd pregnancy he knew how she was as a wife and mother. So, don't give me this BS that he was tired of the way he was being treated - he was tired of having a wife and 8 children and knowing Kate wore the pants in their relationship. They haven't even divorced yet and he's gallivanting in public with his mistress.

Kate, here's what I think - GOOD RIDDANCE and now you can take him for all he's worth (actually you were the one that would probably have had to pay him alimony but maybe now with pictures of his infidelity you wont have to)!
