Sarah linked y’all to a story earlier today saying that Bristol Palin is planning on releasing a memoir in June of this year, but I want to know if you think she has a story to tell.
On one hand, a 20-year old single mother from a political family that’s starred on a televised dancing competition does sound like someone with an interesting story. Of course people out there want to know what it was like to be a pregnant teenager with a mother running for Vice President of the United States. But then on the other hand, no ghostwriter on the planet could undo how totally dumb the Palin clan is. And with Bristol being as young as she is, is it possible that she could offer some perspective on her situation in any sort of meaningful way? Typically people hold out on writing memoirs until their life has played out a bit more. She’s got a long life of raising that kid ahead of her before we can call her parenting a success.
We’re not exactly Lea Michele fans around these parts (or Glee fans, for that matter), but even I can admit that I really like her cover of Katy Perry’s “Firework” from tonight’s episode. In fact, I’m kind of interested in watching the show now to see if I’ve had a change of heart.
I doubt that this version of “Firework” will ever be as popular as the show’s cover of Katy’s “Teenage Dream” earlier this season, but as long as they’re taking Katy Perry songs and making them more listenable, I’m not going to complain.
Let me know what you think of the cover by voting in the poll and chiming in in the comments.
Today’s activity was to review a list designed by the experts at K-Y to gauge our, ahem, boundaries with one another and I have to say – we FAILED. MISERABLY. But after reviewing the list, and checking things off (practically all of them), I feel more like a marital winner than ever -especially with regard to the personal anecdote I want to share with you guys.
Go along with me and ask yourself these questions:
1-Do you sleep with kids and/or pets in your bedroom?
2-Have you used a telephone or laptop while in your partner’s presence in your bedroom?
3-Do you spend evenings surfing the Internet, messing around on Facebook, or playing Lexulous (addiction!)?
4-Bring your cell phone on date nights and use it to tune your partner out?
5-Leave the door open when you’re doing your bathroom business?
6-Clip your nails, brush your teeth, tweeze your eyebrows in front of your SO?
Kristen Stewart recently shot a spread for Vogue with famed photographer Mario Testino and this behind the scenes video gives us an idea of what it’s like to work with the moody actress.
Here’s a complete list of emotions we see Kristen utilize during this 39-second clip:
1) Disgust
2) Boredom
3) Detachment
4) Anger
5) Unconcern
6) Apathy
Impressive. Such a wide range for such a young actress. I hope they’re crafting a special Oscar to award to this extremely talented woman.
In case you didn’t know, the consistently perfect Meryl Streep is currently working on a film called The Iron Lady, a Margaret Thatcher biopic. The photo of Meryl above is the first promotional photo released for the film – what do we think?
Of course, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter what we think. The reality is that Meryl is going to do a beautiful job in this film (despite the Thatcher family’s worries that it will be “some Left-wing fantasy”), get nominated for an Oscar and probably win it (seriously, it would be her 17th nomination, and let’s not pretend that she didn’t deserve every one of them), and then say something with grace and respect that will make the Thatcher family shuffle their feet and hang their heads and mumble some apologies like tactfully scolded children – sort of like she did with the statement she released to go along with the promotional photo:
“The prospect of exploring the swathe cut through history by this remarkable woman is a daunting and exciting challenge. I am trying to approach the role with as much zeal, fervour and attention to detail as the real Lady Thatcher possesses – I can only hope my stamina will begin to approach her own.”
And again, in case you didn’t know? Meryl Streep can outclass the whole entire world.
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
