So, a lot of you guys had some pretty strong opinions on Lana Del Rey‘s Saturday Night Live performance a few weeks ago, and while I don’t think she did as poorly as some previous performers had in the past (the ones Kristen Wiig named in the above skit, and including my own personal favorite, Ashlee Simpson), her performance will definitely go down as one of the more memorable ones, and whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is definitely subjective. Lana’s very … unique.

In the clip above, Kristen Wiig (as Lana) chats with Seth Myers about her infamous performance, and though her impersonation was spot-on and definitely poked fun at the odd singer, she made a bunch of really good points that, yeah, maybe we should be laying off Lana, her music, and her eccentric-though-maybe-staged persona because really, who’s business is it if she’s genuine or put-on or, you know, whatever?

mean, she’s already not considering doing another album and she claims it’s because she’s already said everything she’s got to say, but we all know the probable real reason why: because people are bullies, right? But again, from Lana’s point of view, who’s business is it anyway?

Oh, of course, that’s right: it’s everyone’s business.

What do you guys think about Lana Del Ray, and do Kristen’s good points masked as mockery change your opinion even a little bit if you’re one of those who do feel negatively about her?

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole life. I’ve always wanted to be young and have grey hair. To me, I’m 27, I’ve got three years left, the way I look at it, to have fun with it, because once you’re 30, you look like a right idiot walking around with like rainbow, bright color hair and all different things like that.”

Wait, what? Does that mean in three years, Kelly‘ll stop doing childish things and allegedly falling off the wagon and publicly fighting a one-sided bitch-fight with people like Christina Aguilera? LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN.

Kelly recently appeared on The Talk with her grey hair, and was naturally asked why she’d chosen to dye her hair such an “unfavorable” color. The above result is your answer, friends. She’s “always wanted to be young and have grey hair.” I guess it really is as simple as that. See, I’m twenty-eight years old and when I don’t dye it, I have a thick streak of grey in the hair framing my face. I stopped dyeing my hair about 10 months ago, and I’m totally amazed by how much grey is actually there. I enjoy it, appreciate it, embrace it. Spending the last ten months with it, I’ve found that it suits me far more than any other artificial hair color could, so I kind of understand what Kelly’s saying.

However, we’ve got to keep in mind that this is the girl who once looked like this –

- And thought it was a completely OK look.

I’ve never fully trusted her after that, and even though she and I are kind of on the same page about having grey hair at a young age, I’m glad that I’ve got the upper hand here and don’t have to beat my hair into submission for it to be grey. It’s a good look one way or the other, but when you look like one of the original Oompa Loompas –

- I think it’s high time to change your look, and maybe your medications, too.

I know – most of you guys completely disagreed with me when I’d previously said that I couldn’t understand why someone like my lady love, Rachel McAdams, would date Michael Sheen when she could have men of the likes of Ryan Gosling. And I still kind of feel that way, but only half – see, now that Ryan’s dating Eva Mendes, Rachel’s way too good for him. After much heartfelt soul-searching, I’ve come to the conclusion that I hope Ryan and Rachel never get back together. And they probably won’t, because things don’t usually turn out the way I initially want until later in the game when it’s actually the complete opposite of what I wanted, but have grown to realize that I don’t always want the things that are best for me. But I learn, you know? I live, I learn, and I’ve accepted that my one-time favorite couple isn’t going to reconcile, and I’m finally OK with it because I know that there are greener pastures out there for both of them. Well, for at least one of them, anyway. I don’t know for sure that Eva’s pasture is all that lovely and green, but I can imagine that Rachel is probably just as fresh as a daisy and as lovely as the first rose of summer.

But yes, as reported, Michael Sheen and Rachel McAdams are still together, and they’re still going places and looking happy and in love, and I know that I should be content with that, but I want more. If Rachel’s going to be with this guy for a little while longer (and based on all of the times that I’ve seen them, that’s probably the case), then I want to know more about him, guys. I want to know what he does (aside from appear in the Twilight movies, because that character he plays is just damn creepy), what he likes, and why oh why he ever decided to hook up with Kate “Bitchface Crazypants” Beckinsale. I just can’t correlate the two ladies. From Beckinsale to McAdams? From bare-faced-ness to bushy-beard-ness?

Honestly, though, I read his Wiki page, and he’s had a lot of pretty impressive accomplishments to stick under his belt, and quotes that I’ve digested word by word are pretty crafty. He seems likable, but I just don’t understand how this coupling came to be. They met on the set of Midnight in Paris back in 2010 (going on two years together, guys – that’s like, forever – and have been inseparable ever since.

I don’t know. I guess I shouldn’t complain. She could be hooking up with Adrien Brody, and I really don’t think I’d be liking that all too much. Thank God for small favors, huh?

What’s your favorite thing about Michael Sheen? Please, enlighten me.

I don’t know about you guys, but I was not excited about Madonna’s halftime show. “Greatest show on Earth” I’m hearing? Ugh, hardly.

I personally enjoyed Kelly Clarkson‘s ‘Star-Spangled Banner’. It was nice to see a performer actually sing live, and while there were no pyrotechnics and, you know, obnoxious robe-wearing Cee Lo Green to complement her performance, it was solid and my God did she look good. Plus, Kelly’s “choir” beat the ever-loving hell out of Madonna‘s. And there was no CGI that sent me into fits of seizures (but to be fair, it might not have been the CGI that did it – it could very well have been the hot wing dip and the two whole cans of Coke I drank.

But anyway, yes, I did watch the Super Bowl, and I thought it was a crap game. Yes, because I loathe the Giants, and yes, because my team (the Saints) got so close and missed it, and also, yes, because there was really like, two plays that occurred that were “exciting,” but on the whole the entire thing – aside from the promising start, what with Kelly Clarkson’s fine ass belting out the National Anthem and Blake Shelton and his wife doing their thing for ‘America the Beautiful’ – was really, really boring and I think I paid more attention to ‘Words With Friends’ than I did to the game itself.

That, my friends, is a sign that this Super Bowl was just ill-fated.

Photo: Madonna performs at the Superbowl February 5, 2012

My mother informed me that she had just seen the Superbowl halftime performance starring Madonna.

Well? How was it? I asked her.

She sighed and looked at me really tired. “I think Madonna’s very talented,” she said. I thought this was really funny. Mom! It’s not like you’re gonna offend the “kid”; Madonna’s 53 years old!

I watched Madonna’s halftime performance online later. And—this is a little weird, because she is such an amazing dancer—those stiletto boots are obviously killing her. Sometimes she looks like she’s never walked in heels before.

By many accounts Madonna’s show elicited mixed reviews, with critics particularly maligning her latest, “Give Me All Your Luvin’.” (Yeah, I’m not into it, either.)

In the meantime! M.I.A. took the stage during the show (along with Nicki Minaj), and she threatened to make the night all her own. Deadline:

During tonight’s show, headlined by Madonna, one of the guest singers, British rapper M.I.A., gave viewers the finger directly into the camera, and NBC’s censors weren’t fast enough to obscure it. The network, which carries the Super Bowl this year, attempted to blur the gesture but was late by almost a second. “We apologize for the inappropriate gesture that aired during halftime,” the network’s spokesperson said. “It was a spontaneous gesture that our delay system caught late.”

Yep! M.I.A. flipped off the cameras, incensing the censors. Phew! I’m glad something happened last night; otherwise the show might’ve been a total bore.
