Top Five FAILS of the Day

Oh, Nick Rhodes, I Love You So

I found these great new shots of my beloved Nick Rhodes on Duran Duran's website today. *Swoon.* I love that even as he gets older, he's always got this adorable child-like quality about him.
Is he practicing wearing the tux he'll wear when we wed? (Hey, a girl can dream....)

Pinky's Fandance - Jay Leno

I'll be the first one to admit that I'm totally Team Coco and held quite a bit of hatred towards Jay Leno for that less-than-cool move towards my Coco. However, after he was super cool to McG at the Stand up to Cancer event, my feelings of hatred have subsided.
Not to mention the fact that it's Jay Leno after all. How could I resist? I ran into him while he was filming his Jaywalking bit on Hollywood Blvd the other night and they were nice enough to squeeze in fan pictures between shooting. Stoked!

It's Not A Shrine....Right?

I'm happy to report that I've successfully completed my Sam Trammell board in my room above my bed. It's just a happy collection of my fave pics, right?It doesn't look at all like a shrine or anything....right? Just humor me and pretend it's completely normal. Come on...you know you want to.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Saturday Edition

Hello and welcome to Saturday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. Were they supposed to be wearing costumes? Hoda looks like a werewolf and Kathy Lee just looks....ugh. Didn't she used to be attractive? What happened?
They must have someone new working on wax figures because the last few have been even worse than usual. Has Taylor Swift ever worn her hair like that? Even I would know to at least curl that wig. Sheesh. Just as Halle Berry is sucking the hotness out of her man, I'm afraid all of the babymaking (all those daughters) is somehow sucking the hotness out of Matt Damon. Why does he suddenly look like an old man?Did she buy this dress from Old Ladies R Us? I think it's the worst fitting dress I've ever seen.Look at us! We're so happy! We're not clasping hands in an awkward way (a la TC) at all! See? We're solid! The rumors don't affect us at all!

Top Five LOL Cats of the Day

Cutest. Car. Ever.

My friend Kate sent me this picture of my next car and it might possibly be the cutest thing I've ever seen. A Hello Kitty Smart car??! Come on. The best part about it (well, aside from it being adorable) is that instead of always trying to find parking, I could just put it in my pocket when I'm not driving around. :)

Pinky's Fandance - John Stamos

As we all know, there are certain celebrities who make me lose my shizz. You'd think after all this time I'd be a little more adept at keeping it together, but that's just not the case. As John Stamos was one of the Teen Beat posters I hung in my room as a pre-teen (as the closet and door were devoted to Ricky Schroder), I knew meeting him was going to be a big deal for me. Unfortunately, instead of looking at the camera, he decided to look into Timbucktoo. Was he as dreamy in person? Yes. Was he sexy? Yes. Was he incredibly nice as I'd heard? Um, debatable. But, you know, at least I got a picture (and an autograph on a picture he didn't like - more on that later), right? I need to stop obsessing that it's not perfect. I'm sure I'll see him again...and if I don't, my life isn't going to end. Luckily I didn't blurt out that his face was on my wall when I was 12. See, I can hold it together...well, sometimes. :)

9 1 1 Emergency

So, you know when you're watching one of those cop dramas where someone's screaming and all of the neighbors heard it, but no one did anything or knew what to do? Yeah. Last night, that neighbor was me. It was the weirdest thing because I always thought I'd be the one to jump into action, but when it actually happened, I had no idea what to do. There I was, sitting at the computer around 11 p.m., when I heard some people arguing and the voices getting louder. Suddenly the lady started shouting, "Someone help us! He's been stabbed!" I froze. What do you do? Other than the police, who do you call? What if there are bad people out there and then they stab you? I didn't even know if I should call the police because I didn't want retrobution. What is wrong with me? I'm horrified by my lack of action. Luckily I heard my neighbor run down the stairs and out to help, so I felt better. Shortly thereafter the cops and firemen came, as well, so it all worked out, but still. I guess someone did get stabbed down the street (side note: I live in a nice area by the beach, so it's not like there are gangs or anything around. I think it was a fluke). In other news that sucks, my dad has a really bad cold and now it seems to have been given back to me. In a classic chicken-and-the-egg scenario, did I give him the cold originally, or did he get it and give it back to me? I guess we'll never know. In the meantime, let's hope mine doesn't advance to the stage of suckiness his is at.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Friday Edition

Hello and welcome to Friday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. WTF are those sleeves? Let's hope this fashion disaster never catches on because that's just rough.
Yikes. Is that Dweeber hair? Why is Tom Brady trying to grow out his hair? He was perfectly hot in his sexy short hair. This hair is a world of no.Speaking of a world of no, I think there's a Christmas tree missing a tree skirt.Exactly how many items of clothing is Charlotte Church wearing? And how many would she have to remove for this outfit to be saveable?
Now, I've never been a huge fan of Jessica Biel, but I will say this - I'm digging the brown hair. I know, it surprised me too.

Top Five FAILS of the Day

An Open Letter to the Guy in Front of Me Last Night

Dear Rudest Man Alive, While I understand talking during a movie to a point, you took it to a whole new level last night. When not talking loudly with the girl next to you (and subsequently blocking my view), you somehow thought signing (as though you were deaf) would be less annoying than your talking. Um, you were wrong. Signing during the entire movie when I know neither of you were deaf was INCREDIBLY annoying. Oh, and laughing like a hyena at a movie that had zero humor in it wasn't really cool either. I really wish I could've punched you in the face because, trust me, you deserved it. Next time, stay out in the lobby and gab. Save the rest of us your annoying presence. I hate you, Pinky Lovejoy

Pinky's Fandance - Rutina Wesley

I was so excited to see Rutina Wesley at Ryan's premiere last night. She plays Tara on True Blood and the last time I saw her at the Scream awards I was unable to get a picture.
Although she hid it pretty well, I don't think she really wanted to take a picture last night. I must've said please like ten times in a row...but it all worked out because ta-da! She even looks happy and I'm even closer to my goal of getting all the True Blood people. :) Hooray!

Red Hill Premiere Night

One of the best things about the Malibu surfing event a few months back was getting to meet my new friend, Lynn, who writes for a True Blood blog called The Vault. She was standing next to me when I was talking to Sam and we ended up being fast friends. Last night she scored us tickets to the premiere of Ryan Kwanten's new movie called Red Hill, so we made a night of it - dinner, the movie, and then I introduced her to Pinkberry. It was a great night! As you see in the picture below, we were in the middle of the collectors when Ryan got out of his car. Lynn is the one talking to Ryan and I'm behind her with my head down (checking my picture).
Although Lynn is a diehard True Blood fan, she's not quite as seasoned on the celeb pictures, so I showed her how it's done. We were laughing all night - it was great! Red Hill was intense, but Ryan was amazing in it. I shut my eyes through most of the bloody film, but it was well done nonetheless. Thanks, Lynn! It was super fun.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition

Hello and welcome to Thursday's early edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. Thankfully, Halle Berry left her man at home as to prevent a further decrease in his hotness.
Knowing Lady Gaga, underneath that jacket, she's naked. Is she always trying to be a Trekkie?I know we already discussed Julianne's dress, but I love how Mark Ruffallo looks like a little kid in his wrinkled suit. He's just so adorable. I'll bet Pamela Anderson's closet contains white beater t-shirts, Ugg boots, and the most hideous dresses known to man (as evidenced here) because, after all, she'd rather go naked.Did a shark take a bite out of the side of this dress?

Top Five LOL Cats of the Day

An Open Letter to Extra TV at The Grove

Dear Extra TV, I just wanted to let you know how disappointed I am in your whole set-up you've got at The Grove with Mario Lopez (who, last I checked, was NOT the President of the United States, or the only person to ever have a child). First of all, it's being pitched as a fan friendly zone. However, instead of letting fans do anything more than gaze upon celebs, your douchebag security acts like a bunch of jerks EVERY SINGLE DAY. Seriously, aside from Nancy Cartright, I've never been treated so poorly in my life (perhaps they're related?). Second of all, if you want to rush the celebs off and block them from pictures, fine, but don't allow the ONLY pictures to be taken to be ones with your staff. Yes, I understand that working on the show would have some inside perks, but doing it out in front of all the people you're blocking from and only doing special things for YOUR STAFF is really, really unprofessional and gross. Do what you want, but have some dignity and do it behind closed doors. Finally, if a fan asks Mario for a picture, don't tell them not to look at him, touch him, or talk to him. He's not the President - he was some shmuck from Saved by the Bell. And if his baby must come to the show every day, keep it away from the crowd. She's going to get sick. That is all. Your show was good in theory, but in reality you've hired a bunch of tools. Unsincerely yours, Pinky Lovejoy

Pinky's Fandance - Ryan Kwanten

Slowly, but surely, my True Blood cast collection is growing. Aside from Alexander Skarsgaard, I think I've just about got all of the "main" players (the ones consistent through all three seasons, aside from minor characters). I was so excited to meet Ryan Kwanten last night. I wasn't sure how he'd be, but he was unexpectantly lovely in person. Plus, he's got an amazing accent. Who wouldn't love that? When I asked him for the picture, I was like, "We can do it really fast." His response? "Or slow, that's OK, too." *Swoon* I love not feeling rushed. :)
I thought I cut off his head in the first picture, so I had to try again. He doesn't look quite as thrilled, but that's OK. I still love him.
