I MISS PUSHING DAISIES!

Kristen Chenoweth won the Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy and she totally deserved it. The competition was tough with actresses from SNL and 30 Rock but she won and tons of people were shocked and so was she.

Here is her acceptance speech.


Did you see her face? She totally didn't see that coming!

She is a huge triple threat; Broadway, TV, movies. She can do it all! The only person who I think could have beaten her would have been Jane Krakowski from 30 Rock who has also worked on Broadway and is, I think, equally talented. If they both could have won that would have been perfect!


I think it is so cool that they are acknowledging a performance from a cancelled TV show, Pushing Daisies that is. Which I will say now that I loved that show and was really upset when it was cancelled. It was original and hilarious. I would just die of happiness if ABC brought it back on the air.

Congrats Kristin!

Regina Spektor Writes For Broadway

Russian-American musician Regina Spektor is following the trend of musical artist writing songs for the stage. She has signed on to pen songs for a Broadway 2011 production titled "Beauty" inspired by the a one act play "Beauty" written by Tina Landau.

Others artist who have been spotted doing the same include Bono and The Edge are working on the upcoming superhero musical "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark".

Regina Spektor is my favorite solo-artist of all time. She is simply amazing! She is a songwriter, vocalist and pianist and is ridiculously talented in all of those fields.

Check out her recently released, fifth studio album "Far"

VMA New Moon Trailer


The trailer that was leaked a couple of days ago is not the same as the trailer that premeired tonight at the Video Music Awards on Mtv.

The one that premiered today was apparently the "extended" version. It wasn't extended by very much though. I'd say no more than 6 seconds or so.
I find my self more excited for the movie after watching the new trailer though. The Volturi is going to get the movies sooo many more fans. All the guys who hear twilight and think cheesy over-rated vampire movie should take a chance with New Moon, the action will get them hooked. The wolves fighting Laurent was so cool looking I'm almost not upset that it is the complete opposite of what happens in the book. :) I mean, Laurent is supposed to run away terrified not give them the "bring it on" look!
The underwater scene looks beautiful too. The cinematography on this film will probably be my favorite thing about this movie from what I can tell from the trailer.

NEW MOON TRAILER LEAKED!

A new trailer for the film New Moon, sequel to the blockbuster Twilight, has been leaked.
It seems to have been shown in a movie theater somewhere you can hear people whispering in the background.
I have seen it and all I have to say, what in the world is Summit thinking?!

It is basically the ENTIRE movie in two minutes. All the biggest twist and turns are in there too. The Volturi looks wicked awesome though even though when I read the book I pictured their underground lair to look completely different. I'm really excited to see Dakota Fanning's performance in this, she's a great actress and her character is really twisted. It's going to be awesome!

I'm not going to post the link to the trailer because Summit is taking them down left and right and I don't want to get sued or anything. You shouldn't watch the trailer if you don't want the movie ruined for you anyway.

Lady GaGa Flubs the Words


Underneath the crazy hair, hats, and costumes Lady GaGa has a ridiculously good voice. She sang an impromptu cover of Coldplay's song Viva La Vida on BBC radio in England. So impromptu that she messed up the words but I found it endearing. GaGa haters even admitted that they liked this performance in the comments. Someone actually said "I dislike both Lady Gaga and "Viva la vida" but I love this."

Her music doesn't really showcase her voice because its quite pop and techno/dance styled music so many many people are surprised when they hear her live, they didn't know she could actually sing or play the piano . I know I didn't.

If she made an album of only acoustic versions of her songs I would totally buy it and so would alot of other people.

This is my favorite performance of hers. The song is called Paparazzi and it was the first song of hers I've ever heard. It was stuck in my head for days.

Sandra Bullock is an Axe Wielding Stalker

I saw the trailer for the movie "All About Steve"during the previews for G.I. Joe and my first in impression was that it was a silly funny movie and that I have seen something like this before, like, in the previous year.

When I saw the poster I immediately thought thought that the umbrella that Mary Horowitz (Sandra Bullock) was holding was a bloody machete or something. If people who now nothing about this movie and saw the poster from a distance they would think this was some sort of slasher movie.


Seriously, take a few steps back from the screen and tell me that umbrella doesn't turn into a bloody weapon! Sandra already looks crazy enough to use it in the picture, it's not that much of a stretch.
