Proof That We Can All Just Get Along

I mean, heck, if they can do it...

(Thanks to Shane)

Also this... some cleverness centering around that Coldplay band (who I don't hate or anything).



(Thanks to Chappell)

These excellent videos came to my attention via the magical world of Google Reader shares. Google Reader - a wonderful invention that totes changed my life. I swear by it, I tell ya!

The Day of the Sun Is a Busy One

The Golden Globes and all their superdeluxe pageantry air tonight on NBC. I'm very excited to spend five hours liveblogging all the excitement, madness and glory that is the FIRST BIG AWARDS SHOW OF THE SEASON.

I don't mean to diss The People's Choice Awards or The Critics Choice Awards, but let's get serious.



Okay, now that we've gotten serious...

I have to tell you that recently these two Google searches led people to my little bloggy:






"explode bust video dress red hair yellow cleavage sneeze" Err... yes, okay. Amazingly, I'm the first hit.






"Who created Linda Park?" I wish I knew!

Alright, I'm off to The Gap (I really lead the most exciting life ever).

Check back tonight for red carpet and show coverage!

When You Google Tawny Kitaen

We're sitting here watching VH-1's Top 100 Hard Rock Songs of All Time or something like that and they were talking about "Still of the Night" (you know, that Whitesnake song), so I started Googling Tawny Kitaen and came up with this.

Tee hee.

Time has not been kind to poor Tawny but David Coverdale's plastic surgeon has been to him. Metal dudes should not get plastic surgery. That's not very rock 'n roll.

Also, Andrew W.K. is a motivational speaker now who looks a LOT like my ex-husband. I don't know what to make of that.

Recent Google Searches and Mamma Mia!

I am amused daily by the Google searches that lead to my blog...

A smattering of recent gems:

"Jerelll Scott is hot." Wow. Really?!!! He thinks too much of himself to be hot in my eyes, but okay.

I'm still getting "Does Bret Michaels wear a wig?" Yes, that shiny plastic Barbie hair coming out of his bandana is totally real. I'm sure of it.

Loads of hits for Lil' C's words of wisdom on last week's So You Think You Can Dance so I guess it bears repeating: "It's really difficult to locate the avenue of gain when you're being chauffeured by loss." So very true. Maybe he was talking about Bret Michaels' hair.

Quite a few "naked women in Kentucky's" lately. Not sure I really understand that one. It feels so random. I mean, wouldn't being more specific, like, "naked women in Paducah" seem more helpful?

And finally, "women who love men who can dance freestyle rock roll sex." I like how the second search result is, "The Top 10 Rock Songs Black People Love, a Post Written by a Black Person."

I'm running the Mamma Mia! trailer above because:

a) I saw Mamma Mia! last night.

b) When joyful, it was most excellent.

c) Colin Firth rules.

d) Meryl Streep can do anything.

e) Stellan Skarsgard in spandex singing "Waterloo" will be imprinted on my brain forever.

The downside, the film feels uneven and I wasn't overly fond of Amanda Seyfried's performance (although she looked great and her singing voice is quite passable).

I have a dream, a song to sing,

Funniest Google Search To Hit My Blog Yet

"www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=WHY CAN'T I FIND FROM AMERICAS FUNNIEST VIDEOS THE CHUBBY BOY IN THE UNDERWEAR DOING THE MACARENA&btnG=Google Search"

I don't know how this person ended up on my blog with that search but they seem rather desperate to find this video so here it is! Wasn't that hard. I just Googled "Funniest video Macarena" and presto!

I'm feeling better... just thought the dude who hates my blog and hates MMJ but is going to hell should know.

I even ate a cupcake at Dean and Deluca today. Yum!

Back home tomorrow. Ah, but I can't wait to be on the couch watching Wimbledon! A fortnight of fun!

Oh yes, and that My Morning Jacket concert at Radio City Music Hall was purty good. My favorite moment happened before the show, actually, when I was on the street shooting the boys on the marquee. A tourist walked by, looked at them, and asked, "Who's that?" Some middle-aged man answered, "Maroon 5!" It was so hilarious I didn't even bother correcting him.

Now that the hubs is off in England buying me Minstrels and Jemma Kidd eyeshadow I shall return to my normal glut of non-MMJ programming and resume snarky postings about television, politics and anything else that gets in my way.

Toodles,
Ms. P

Recent Google Searches

I'm always amused when I look at the stats for my blog and see what people are Googling to get here.

A random sampling:

"Bread Michaels a Rock of Love" Bread Michaels? Is this the union of Poison and David Gates? I really want to hear that record! There are also a LOT of queries for "Bret Michaels hairpiece" and "Does Bret Michaels wear a wig?"

"Roger Federer hairy chest" I can think of a few other tennis players I'd rather see shirtless, to be honest.

"High powered executive lady type" Well, it's only natural they landed here, then.

"Famous artist paintings of greased pig races" I'm pretty sure those Party Crasher pics don't qualify.

And my perennial favorite, "Linda Park naked" Sorry, charlie. Don't think there are naked pics of any of us out there. I could be wrong but don't disavow me of this notion.

Okay... I have to go do work and stuff now. Don't worry, just because I see what you're Googling, it doesn't mean a picture of you and your phone number come up. I have no idea who some of these pervs are (not that you're a perv - just sayin' I have seen some really unpleasant search strings).

I'm boring and I know it!

What I Get for Googling

I must start today's post with an apology to grammarians everywhere (the photo is of me being sheepish). I like to think I'm one of you but every now and then I mess up real real bad and realize that despite my attempts to edumacate myself, I am just a poor little high school dropout from Plano, Texas. My head hangs in shame and my only advice to people is, "Don't be Googling grammar rules at three in the morning." Being a writer who uses parentheses as a crutch of sorts, you'd think I would be savvy to their ways. And I thought I was, but then I read on some site that you should put the period inside the parenthesis. So I did - and it was wrong - and I will never trust the internet again. However, now I understand the rules, and I've even fixed my past posts so future readers won't see what a goober I am. What's even more embarrassing is that two writers I really admire have both visited the blog and witnessed my grammatical faux pas. So, good readers, if you ever catch me making parenthetical mistakes (or any others, but not mistakes of opinion because I never make those), call me out! And to those who hate people who use hypens for dashes, tough luck. Blogger won't accept "option + hyphen" and I refuse to do the "--" thing. So there!

Speaking of Googling... It's a bit unfortunate that I share a name with a Korean actress who was on Enterprise and Raines. Unfortunate because when I look at the stats for my little Velocity page I see people who are busy searching for "Hot pictures of Linda Park" or "Linda Park porn". So, to the dude in Conway, Arkansas... I know what you're doing, you little perv! How disappointed he must have been when he saw my goofy, completely clothed, mug. Tee hee!

Heroes starts tonight. I haven't seen Tom this excited about something on the telly in ages so it better be good. Chuck and Journeyman premiere this evening, as well. I don't think I mentioned how happy I am to see My Bodyguard (Adam Baldwin in Chuck) back in action! Maybe they could write a little part for Chris Makepeace! Speaking of Chris Makepeace, has anyone else seen Mazes and Monsters (which starred CM and a little-known at the time actor named Tom Hanks)? What a genius piece of moviemaking.

But I digress...

ps. My friend Tina asked me if I was covering the visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and no, I'm not (although, what do you think about them not letting him place a wreath at Ground Zero?) but she had the funniest description of him that he'll probably ever get. In fact, I hope he Googles himself and finds this. She said, "He looks like a smug, Ahole who thinks he's really hot." So true.
