Age 6 Gender Issues.

So take a second and examine the picture below. Take a good hard look at it and tell me what you see? Do you see Celine Dion and her 6 year old daughter? Well, that's what I see. But I was wrong. Until I read the caption on top of the picture, I honestly thought it was a girl. It is in fact a boy. So why does this young man look like he's already having gender issues? Perhaps he's been listening to his mom's music way too much or maybe it's because they're French-Canadian? One will never know. Let's hope he gets his hair cut soon so all the other masculine French-Canadian kids don't bitch smack him.

Harry Potter 6!!!

So they've started filming HP6: HP & The Half-Blood Prince and boy am I excited! Here's a couple of behind the scenes videos to tide you all over (or maybe just me):

Behind The Scenes Featurette 1

I like when Frenchie says, "It has a hood. Because we are wizards." Oh. Duhhhhhhhhhhh.

Behind The Scenes Featurette 2

They should let people live inside the sets after they are done with them. And by "people", I mean ME.



"We are disgustingly wealthy! Yay!!!!!!!!!"

New Music Tuesday

Welp, it's Tuesday. You know what that means. People around the world are running to their computers to illegally download this week's new releases. Not that I have any experience doing this, but I'm sure it's a cost effective way for a college student to have new music every week. Lately, it seems that not many albums are being released worth mentioning. Unfortunately, this week is like the rest, but I'm sure a few of you actually care about the following albums.

Jordin Sparks, Jordin Sparks

Before we begin talking discussing the most recent winner of the phenomenon that is American Idol , did anyone see the American Music Awards on Sunday? You didn't? Well either did I. From what I read, both Idol alumni Daughtry and Carrie Underwood walked away with 3 prizes each. We all know Underwood won the whole competition in 2005, and in the words of Mugatu, "That Carrie Underwood is so hot right now!!". So in 2006, the "talented" asshole that is Taylor Hicks somehow walked away with the title. Daughtry was left with the last laugh. He finished 4th. He's huge right now. When was the last time we saw or heard a song by Taylor Hicks? Well, I have no idea and I thank God every day for that. He truly didn't make anyone proud. So I think the next step for Hicks is for Daughtry to take him out back and put him out of his misery. While he's at it, he might as well feed Clay Aiken to Ruben Studdard, and then put Ruben to sleep. It makes sense in my mind.

So Jordin Sparks released her debut self titled album today. I have yet to listen to it, but from the reviews that it's getting, it seems to be a pretty well made album. But we do have a slight problem, which is the song God Loves Ugly. Yes, thats right. we have another self loving anthem for the women. Let me barf on you right now. We had enough of that when TLC released Unpretty. We don't need anymore of these cliche songs declaring that the ugly bird is pretty. We all watch Ugly Betty every week. This morale is getting old. So in this song, the opening lines are "You said, I wasn't pretty. So I just believed you". Really Jordin? Did someone really say that to you? As a former model, do you really think you're not pretty? Do you believe everything everyone tells you? Well get over it and quit bitching. You won American Idol. You have a $1,000,000 recording contract. You're fine.





OneRepublic, Dreaming Out Loud

So, I'll admit it, "Apologize" is a really good song. Timbaland did a great job producing that song. Too bad he didn't do the whole album. About a year and a half ago, the Fray were featured on Grey's Anatomy and then became pretty big. I like the Fray. I'm not the biggest fan, but they do have some pretty good songs on their album. Now I ask you this question: What's the difference between the Fray and OneRepublic? Absolutely nothing. If you heard the Fray's album last year, then you already heard this one. When previewing the songs on their album, I could not tell a difference between the 2 bands. Fortunately for the Fray, they released their album before OneRepublic. It's like when John Mayer released his album a few years back. Immediately following Mayer's shot to super stardom, about 50 other artists emerged sounding exactly like him (i.e. Jason Mraz, Gavin DeGraw, me). I think Daughtry should shot Jason Mraz while he's at it. So with that said, Dreaming Out Loud isn't even worth an illegal download.


I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Week 11 NFL Picks

Good thing the Broncos are playing on Monday night so I don't have to spend all of Sunday refreshing the internet 1,200 times and checking the same box scores every 30 seconds trying to see how my fantasy teams are doing.........Oh wait, I will still be doing that tomorrow....

The whole Adrian Peterson/Chester Taylor fantasy story has definitely been one of the better fantasy story lines of the year. Everyone was hating on that guy who took Adrian Peterson in the draft, or even worse the guy who didn't show up to the draft but somehow ended up with him on his team being drafted by the computer. Chester Taylor was a 2nd or 3rd round pick in most drafts, and had been reduced to the bench or the waiver wire in most leagues, only for Peterson to go down last week leaving every pissed of Chester Taylor owner ecstatic, or creating havoc on a league by having someone pick him up off of waivers in the wee hours. Interesting how a guy goes from a fantasy stud lock, to a bench player with an all-time fantasy player in front of him, back to being a lock. Good times. (Except for me, who picked Taylor up after someone dropped him after A-Pete blew up only to drop him a few weeks ago...lame)

On to the picks, home team in CAPS:

Chargers (+3) over JAGUARS

Browns (-2.5) over RAVENS

Steelers (-9.5) over JETS

COWBOYS (-10.5) over Redskins

Dolphins (+10) over EAGLES

Buccaneers (-3) over FALCONS

VIKINGS (-5) over Raiders

BENGALS (-3) over Cardinals

COLTS (-14.5) over Chiefs

LIONS (+2.5) over Giants

TEXANS (-1) over Saints

PACKERS (-9.5) over Panthers

Rams (-3) over NINERS

SEAHAWKS (-5.5) over Bears

BILLS (+16) over Patriots

BRONCOS (-2) over Titans

Movies Opening This Weekend

Beowulf

Breaking News!: Computer Angelina Jolie is still way, WAY hotter than you.

I don't understand why people make motion capture movies. If you want to make a cartoon, make a cartoon. If you want to make a live action movie, make a live action movie. But this in- between bullshit is just weird. And seemingly unnecessary now that computers can create ridiculously cool special effects in live action movies. That being said, motion captured "Beowulf" looks about a billion times better than the shitastic "Polar Express", which someone managed to be both super creepy and mind numbingly boring at the same time. And Angelina Jolie already looks like a superhuman computer character, so what's the harm? This movie's probably going to be awesome.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

"I'll show you my magic if you show me yours..."

Now, I'm a big fan of magic. I just finished rereading ALL 7 Harry Potter books in a row, and if that doesn't make a magic nerd then I don't know what does. But boy oh boy, the magic in this movie looks super gayballs. At the end of the trailer a little toy sock monkey gave Jason Bateman a hug and I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Don't go see this movie unless you have a small child with you. And even then, you should probably just drop your baby off and let it fend for itself. That's how they learn.

Love In The Time of Cholera

"Wow...I honestly thought you'd be a lot hotter when you got old...ummmmmm, yeah....this is awkward now..."

This is a wonderful, beautiful, breathtaking, timeless novel. But the trailer makes it look like this movie is "The Notebook" with spanish accents. Javier Bardem is pretty much a badass, which is a plus, but John Leguizamo plays someone loud and annoying (what else is new?), so that's a minus. Plus, you might catch cholera. So you should probably just go read the book instead.

What Would Jesus Buy?

"Oh my GOD, I can't believe we all wore the same outfit. How EMBARRASSING..."

"Searching for the true meaning of Christmas, the Reverend Billy travels the country to exorcise the demons out of Wal-Mart headquarters, preach against the infamous Mall of America and visit the wonderful world of Disneyland."

I hope Jesus is buying this guy some meds. Or a new brain. That being said, go watch the trailer for this movie. It actually looks wicked awesome. Because who DOESN'T want to exorcise the demons out of a Wal-Mart billboard sometimes?!


That's all for now folks! Thanks for reading!

Gayballs,
Jill

New Music...

Perez Hilton just debuted John Mayer's new single Say. Check it out. It's one of his best songs to date. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

Bankrupt Baby Daddy

I found this story a couple of days ago and found it pretty interesting:

Apparantley, ex-NBA player Jason Caffey has filed for bankruptcy, claiming that he's about $2 million in debt. Not only does he spend about $15,000 a month in money that he doesn't really have, but he can't pay his child support to an estimated 8 kids by at least 3 different mothers.

The best part is that the attorney says that he doesn't know how many kids Caffey actually has. I'm sorry, what?? Don't you know how many kids you have, or do you just stop counting after 8? I kind of hope that all of the kids have some form of Jason in their name, even if they're a girl, like Jasondra or something like that.....But I digress....

So Caffey claims that he can't pay his child support because the figures determined to pay were determined while he was playing in the NBA, making about $5 million a year, and now that he's out and can't figure out how to have a regular job, he can't pay the high child support numbers. Makes sense, but don't you think you stop having kids after the first divorce and that first time you get killed in court with a high child support number? Maybe it's just me, but don't you think he would've figured this stuff out?

Now, if you're one of the (at least) three baby mamas involved here, you should be kicking yourself in the ass right now for not getting your money up front. Plain and simple, if you get inpregnated by a professional athlete, you need to get money upfront, because you never know how many kids he already has and the next injury could result in your baby daddy filing for bankruptcy in a few years. Just like if you're lucky enough to win the lottery, you take the lump sum. Don't be an idiot and go with the annuity because that money isn't guaranteed. The lottery could fold, the world might end, you just don't know. Get that money up front in a lump sum and earn some interest on it. Or you could take the not having kids with guys who have 10 already with 5 different women route.....

WTF?!

Sooooooooooo, a few weeks ago "The Office" aired an episode that involved Dwight entering the online role-playing world of Second Life. "CSI: NY" also did an episode about Second Life. Not wanting imaginary television characters to think I was lame (I like to imagine that all the characters on TV think of me as a god-like figure that watches over them and laughs at all their funny jokes), I decided to do a little research about Second Life.

And because I'm a pervert, my research quickly centered on a very important question: can you have s-e-x on Second Life? I mean, I figured that you could have plain old cyber sex, but could you actually make your avatar (a fancy pants word for the 'hotter than you actually are in real life' cartoon character that you create with Second Life) do the dirty nasty with another avatar? Well, here's what I found:



Not only can you make your avatars have doggy style sex, but you can also accidentally have gay sex with BATMAN. What a brave new world we live in. This is the real reason those scientists invented the internet.

One More Time...

A few years back when I got my very first iPod (20GB black and white 4th gen), I made a playlist entitled 'One More Time'. No, this was not a Britney Spears reference. It was simply referring to songs that I would listen to on repeat because I became highly obsessed with them. These songs are the ones once you hear it, you fall in love with it, and then you have to listen to it over and over again. These are the songs that if you're at work, all you can do is sing it in your head and the first thing you do after punching out is go to your car and pop your headphones in, listen to it and sing along until your face turns blue. These are the songs that after listening to it for the 100th time in a row, you still cannot get over it. Well my playlist consisted of quite a few of these songs. Here's a small list of some of those songs that are near and dear to my heart. (P.S.- Don't judge me. I know we all have some weird obsessions with certain songs or artists, even if it's some Lillith Fair crap.)

• The Toadies- Possum Kingdom
• The Red Jump Suit Apparatus- Face Down
• The Cure- Just Like Heaven
  
• Gomez- How We Operate
• Sarah McLachlan- Sweet Surrender
• The Postal Service- Such Great Heights

Check out the video for Such Great Heights. One of the best videos I have ever seen! Enjoy!



So I love weird music videos. The following video is by an artist named Sia. She's done work with Zero 7 and Massive Attack but if anyone is familiar with the HBO series, Six Feet Under, her song 'Breathe Me' was featured in the final scene of the series. If you watched the show, you know what I'm talking about. It's very hard to forget a song and a scene that powerful. But anywho, her latest video, "Buttons' is one of the coolest/weird/most creative videos I have ever seen. She looks kinda fug in the video so don't let that take anything away from it. Enjoy!



So if you have a One More Time list of your own, or know of any cool music videos like the ones above, leave a comment or two and let me know!

Until next time. Have a good one!

Entertainment Report

Hey all! My name is Jill and I'm your new Entertainment Reporter for Go Blue Radio! I'll be covering movies, television, radio, & my boyfriend: the internet (I love you so much baby). Hit me up if there's anything in particular you'd like me to cover!


Movies opening this weekend:

Fred Claus


"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! The bad reviews are headed straight for us!"


Now I know that Santa has a "Naughty" & a "Nice" list, but I also like to think he has an "Insufferable Douchebag" list filled with people who make crappy Christmas movies about him. Tim Allen is on the list (IMDB tells me that he made 3 of those shitty "Santa Clause" movies AND "Christmas With The Kranks" so he's probably #1). So is Ben Affleck ("Surviving Christmas"). And even Arnold Schwarzenegger ("Jingle All The Way"...to hell). And now Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti have earned their place on the list with this very special crapfest. And if you pay $10 to go see this movie, YOU'LL end up on the list too.

P.S. People on the "Insufferable Douchebag" list only receive non-fictions books and savings bonds for Christmas.


Lions For Lambs



Seconds after this photo was taken Leo enjoyed a fine breakfast of lamb chops.

This is the kind of movie that gives liberal Hollywood a bad name. We get it Hollywood -- you don't like the war and you think Bush is a big fat liar face. I'm not saying I disagree, but stop making stupid movies about it. At one point in the preview Tom Cruise actually says "Do you want to win the war on terror? YES OR NO?!" No Maverick, I don't.




P2


"Why is my movie set in such a lame location?!"

A pretty girl gets locked in an underground parking lot overnight and is terrorized by a mysterious man. I imagine that the mysterious man is just the parking attendant trying to get her to pay $17.5o for 15 minutes of parking. Scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaary...



Steal A Pencil For Me



This movie is in limited release so I wouldn't normally talk about it if not for its description:


"What's worse: being stuck in a Nazi concentration camp or being forced to live there with your wife and your girlfriend?"

Ummmmmm, I think it's probably the concentration camp. Although the silver lining is that, under such life and death circumstances, you could probably definitely convince your wife and girlfriend to have a threesome with you.





In other news, here's why you should support the writer's strike that's happening in Hollywood right now even though it means reruns and more bad reality TV:

I'm am officially over Boston sports. There was a time that I naively rooted for the Patriots against the Rams (because the Rams left LA) in the Super Bowl, and the Red Sox over the Yankees in the playoffs (Because Yankees fans blow). But we're at the point where Boston and their bandwagoning fans have become too much for everyone to handle. The media is beginning to enter the "tearing down" stage of Boston sports, after spending such a long time in the "building them up" stage. Boston fans are coming out of everywhere like locusts and are at times more annoying that New York fans. They like to think that their teams are the new "America's Teams", but they're not. From the Patriots to the Red Sox, BC, and the Celtics, America will eventually turn on them and become annoyed with their fans. I'm just over them, and hoping that we can move on and that it's just a bad fad, like all of the hambones dressing up as a "dick in the box" guy for Halloween.

Aside from that, here's some videos to cheer you up and forget about that annoying Patriots fan at your local bar harassing everyone on Sundays.


Amazing College Football Play from Trinity:




Great Highlight Reel from the First Week of the 07/08 NBA Season:




Super Mario beating Michigan State:




And finally, my personal favorite:

Is it possible to cancel the season after 3 games?

The Lakers have played flawless basketball for 2 straight games, and should have won the first game if it weren't for 18 missed free throws and an improbable own-basket. The bench has been outstanding, Derek Fisher has made an instant impact, and Andrew Bynum has played up to where everyone expects him to be by this point. I know it's 3 games, but if they keep playing like this, the Lakers can do some serious damage.

Two plays basically summed up the last two games. First was Ronnie Turiaf's thunderous dunk on Brian Skinner during the Phoenix game. The Lakers have needed something like this for the past 3 years or so, a monstrous dunk by a high energy guy that just gives the team a lift and a bit of machismo. I know Kobe has posterized some people during that time span, but they needed someone else to do it to give the rest of the team that little bit of extra confidence.


The second play was Kobe blocking a Kirilenko dunk during the game against Utah. Talk about a confidence boost, Kobe went up mano-a-mano with AK47 and rejected him at the rim. Kobe showed his passion for winning and the bench took note and won the game in the 4th quarter. Now only if the Lakers can play with this much passion and energy for the rest of the season, they will be a force to be reckoned with.
