I mean, those kids doing “Set Fire to the Rain” was pretty good, and that military lady did a solid job with “Rolling in the Deep,” but this? This a whole different level. This is Jay Brannan, one of my very very favorites, doing my favorite song by one of my other favorites, Adele. You expect me not to flail around and cry over this?
I know, I was shocked too, but that’s the word on the street, that Rob and Kristen are on the fast track to marriage. And do you know when he’s supposedly thinking of proposing? Right when Breaking Dawnfinally hits theatres in November! Oh, Rob, you ol’ charmer! Great publicity and a life partner?! Goodness gracious!
Really, I don’t think this is going to happen at all. Think about it, it took Kristen like three years to finally admit that they were dating, we’re not going to see some big red carpet proposal or anything. But wouldn’t it be neat if we did? If at the Breaking Dawn premiere, Robert got down on his knee and got super romantic, and after several beautiful moments of professing his love, he finally said those words: “will you marry me?” And Kristen was just like “yeah, whatever.” That’s exactly how it would go down.
All fantasies aside, do you think there could be any truth to this new rumor?
That’s a delightful image, isn’t it? Hugh Jackman under the bright lights, dancing and singing and relieving himself. Can you see it? Then let’s get into the specifics, straight from the beautiful horse’s mouth!
“The first show I ever did, singing and dancing, was Beauty and the Beast. I was playing Gaston. Gaston has red tights, knee high boots, and it’s very physical. I had headaches everyday for two months. I went to an astropath [psychic] and he said ‘Well, you’re dehydrated.’ So of course [following his advice] I had four liters of water,” says Jackman of his 1996 theater days in Melbourne, Australia.
“I go down to the stage, getting ready for my first number…and I’m like I really need to go again. [The routine is] the most cardiovascular song I’ve ever done: literally I’m picking up Belle and as I pick her up, I stopped singing and right in that moment I realized the muscles you need to release in order to sing are the ones you do not want to release if you need to go.”
Urinating on stage in front of the audience, Jackman says he had to forgo the number in order to relieve himself.
“I’m carrying her [over one shoulder] not singing, and she’s going ‘What’s going on? What’s going on?’ So finally, it’s embarrassing at this point. I’ve not sung an entire verse.”
Oh, Hugh Jackman. Don’t worry, I’m sure that even whilst actually urinating on stage, it was still one of the most entertaining performances the audience had ever seen. That’s just you, Hugh. Don’t ever change!
You remember Sophia Grace Brownlee. She’s the little girl who owned our hearts by doing a stellar performance of Nicki Minaj‘s “Super Bass.” She and her “hype girl” got to go on Ellen yesterday to perform that awesome cover, and it turns out they got an extra surprise: a visit from Nicki Minaj herself!
Here’s a little warning though: don’t watch the video unless you don’t want to be crying your eyes out this early in the morning. Take it from me and the grown ass man sobbing at about the 0:50 mark in the video who I think is Sophia’s father, it’s tough to watch a little girl’s dream come true without getting a little misty-eyed.
The afternoon before last, my boyfriend Derek suddenly jumped away from his computer, whooping and yelling.
“What is going on?” I asked him.
“SAMUEL L. JACKSON HAS JOINED TWITTER. AND HE’S VERIFIED,” Derek replied, visibly trembling—whether with thrill or anxiety, I have no idea. Apparently, Jimmy Fallon had just tweeted this information, it had popped up on Derek’s TweetDeck, and now Derek was having a four-alarm celebration/panic attack.
Then he noted aloud that Jackson’s first three tweets were sent from backstage at Late Night.
Well! Turns out that Samuel L. Jackson went on to make the announcement—and his “inaugural” tweet (his fourth, really)—on national television. And I have to admit, this is a veryauspicious beginning:
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...
