We all remember that performance that Christina Aguilera gave at the Super Bowl this year. How she ever so slightly forgot the words to the national anthem. At the time, I just chalked it up to Christina’s issues with booze, but I was wrong. No, Christina was on Ellentoday, and Celebitchy has the transcript, so let’s allow Christina to explain herself:
Ellen: I saw you sing (at the Super Bowl)
Christina: That’s right, I did sing at the Super bowl.
Ellen: I saw it and didn’t see anything. Then it was this huge thing…then I felt stupid that maybe I didn’t know the lyrics.
Christina: I had been singing that song my entire life. I was the youngest anthem singer in my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. I sang for the “Steelers” when I was this big (as a child.)
Ellen: How old were you?
Christina: I think 7 or 8 years old. I would sing for them. I think had a moment where I was at the “Super bowl” at 30 years old. I took in the moment a little bit too much. Shoot me for appreciating the moment but here I am at the “Super bowl”…singing for a team and in front of the world. And remembering what it was like to be that young and look where I made it now. And then it was like, oh. That night I knew, I just made myself a Trivial Pursuit question…In 2011 what female singer, ya know, flubbed the lyrics. It’s just insane. But I have a really good laugh about it and you get over things. You get back up again and you just prove to yourself and to everyone you that much stronger.
I’m not super good at following Christina’s drunk talk just yet, but is she saying that she messed up the lyrics because she was having too much fun and not because she’d just shotgunned some beers with some Steelers?
I believe I’ve made my feelings on Jersey Shorepretty obvious, but, for whatever reason, I’ve never been able to discuss with you guys just how much I love and adore Oscar Wilde. Let’s just say that I have very strong feelings for the man and his work, so you can imagine my utter joy and amazement when I saw that OMGBlog had posted these videos.
It’s the current Broadway cast of The Importance of Being Earnest, ok, and they’re reenacting some of the Shore‘s most memorable moments. If you can’t appreciate that, then I don’t know what else to do for you.
What’s that? You keep condoms in your house because you’re smart? You think it’s good to be prepared? You actually listened in sex ed? Well, fuck all you heard, because Will.I.Am has spoken some gospel to Elle, and the verdict? Condoms are OUT!
ELLE: If you walked into a woman’s house, what one item would convince you that you weren’t compatible?
W: If she had condoms in her house, that would just fuckin’ throw me off. That’s just tacky.
ELLE: Well, okay, I could see if she had a candy bowl full of them on the coffee table. But if she’s got a few in a drawer, wouldn’t that simply suggest she’s health-conscious?
W: I just think, like, if you’re into someone and you guys get to that level, then that’s something you should converse about together and say, “Hey, maybe we should get some.”
I was going to do that thing I do where I pretend that Will.I.Am is as wonderful as he thinks he is, but I just don’t have the heart today. Condoms are “tacky,” really? What an ignorant, careless thing to say. I don’t need to rant about STDs or unplanned pregnancies, you guys are smart enough to get that, but I just can’t believe that Will is douche enough to say these things in an interview.
Are there any redeeming qualities at all in Will.I.Am anymore, or is he just an annoying, pretentious shell of a man these days?
I could tell just how worried everyone was yesterday when you learned that Ryan Phillippe was ending his acting career. I was in the exact same boat – what, you think just any pretty boy can do the kind of work Ryan did in MacGruber? – but now we can file yesterday away as just a terrible, disturbing dream and go back to watching CruelIntentions for the 57th time, because Ryan’s not going anywhere:
Despite a report that Ryan Phillippe is planning on quitting acting, a rep for the actor told Access Hollywood.com that is actor is, in fact, not retiring from Hollywood anytime soon. “He’s been talking about expanding his talents to producing and directing, but he has no plans to stop acting nor did he ever say that he was considering doing so,” his rep told Access.
I don’t believe I’ve ever let out such a sigh of relief. Whoever misconstrued Ryan’s original statement to make it seem like he was going to hide his light under a bushel basket should be very strongly reprimanded for causing such agony. Are you getting my heavy-handed sarcasm yet? Nobody cares about Ryan Phillippe, but he’s going to keep on truckin’ anyway. That’s what this has all been about, and, in a way, that’s the the saddest part of all.
It’s clowns. Robert Pattinson is terrified of clowns. Bless his heart.But unlike my roommate, who hates clowns because my sweetheart of a BFF mercilessly harassed her with a Raggedy Andy doll after watching It at a young age, and unlike myself, who doesn’t much care for clowns after that one episode of Supernatural, Rob has a pretty solid reason:
“The first time I went to the circus somebody died. One of the clowns died. His little car exploded. The joke car exploded on him. Seriously. Everybody ran out. It was terrifying.”
Oh, Robert. He’s done and seen so much in his short life. It’s really no wonder that he can be perceived as such a prick, is it? But really, we know now that he’s just been hurt, that he lives with scars and trauma from his past, and all he needs is a guitar and a good, lovin’ woman to set him straight. Any takers?
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...
