I know Emily’s got a hard-on for Justin Timberlake’s special brand of music (and I do too, don’t get me wrong), but I am SO LOVING everything that he’s been doing on both television and the big screen. So much so that I might actually go see that crappy-looking Friends With Benefits movie that’s being hyped up as the flick of the summer. That says a lot, especially when I really only venture out to the movies for special occasions like the screening of the final Harry Potter film, or my newest obsession, Twilight‘s Breaking Dawn.
Anyway, here’s Justin being his funny, charming self for a short ESPY awards promo, which is going to be aired on ESPN sometime on July 13th. He’s set to present the Capital One Cup, which I dig, I suppose, since they finally gave me a really great new rate on a card I’ve only had with them for FOUR YEARS now.
In April, ABC finally killed off “One Life to Live” and “All My Children.” Both soap operas had aired for 40-plus years.
It’s hard for me to pretend to get worked up over every insipid soap’s inevitable cancellation. Still, I know that at least two million viewers tune in daily to watch their “stories,” and moreover, a lot of non-viewers associate daytime network television with Memories of Summer at Grandma’s House. That’s sweet, sort of.
So, because I am not the heartless beast I want you think I am, I can sympathize with the public outcry (but only a little) whenever a daytime soap gets axed.
Here’s the good news: IT’S TIME TO TEACH GRANDMA HOW TO USE THE COMPUTER. “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” have been raised from the dead, maybe, now that each show has been licensed as a WEB SERIES! And reportedly, the shows plan to keep all their castmembers—yep, even Susan Lucci.
I really admire the daring of this whole idea, because it explores heretofore uncharted television territory. Will grandma finally recognize the brilliance of all that newfangled “web streaming” stuff? Will Mrs. Jane Smith finally buy her husband an Xbox? Will advertisers, finally acknowledging that women really do own and use laptops, flood the Internet with commercials for tampons and dish soap? Hooray! Huzzah!
This is the woman who’s had a decade of hotness? This? The newly-swollen Jennifer Aniston who might have intentionally put a few pounds on and started dressing like she’s six months pregnant in order to fuel those “FINALLY! A BABY” rumors that she’s so good at finding on the covers of grocery store magazines?
I know you’re really excited about your new boyfriend and stuff, but give it about six months before you go starting this kind of stuff. It’s, like, bad luck to pretend you’re pregnant in the first few weeks of dating, haven’t you heard?
Really. We get it, Megs. You’re pretty and almost practically perfect and everyone loves to look at pictures of pretty people. Truly. But don’t go trying to pretend that you’re all against plastic surgery or facial enhancements – EVERYBODY KNOWS you’ve gotten your lips done. Oh, and a nosejob, to boot. I wouldn’t be all that worried about what people are thinking about your non-Botoxed face when those two little things are as glaring as those extra-shiny cheek fillers, either.
But I will say – girlfriend apparently has the worst taste in women, if, in fact, this is what she’s going for. I know it’s supposed to be “cool” and “edgy” for a female frontman to talk about devil sex and grope her female fans onstage, but that was all circa Courtney Love‘s day, wasn’t it? Didn’t that one massive outbreak of Hollywood herpes kind of put a stop to these kinds of things?
Learn your lesson, girl, before your lesson learns you.
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...
