YES.. It's finally Cancelled

What am I talkin' about exactly.....The Hills!

No more Heidi and Spencer, no more Justin Bobby drama, and no more FAKENESS!!

After 6 years of drama, it was announced this morning that the show will be coming to an end by the end of this season.

Creator Adam DiVello says, the kids of The Hills have found themselves and are ready to move on (Thank God).

"A lot of these kids have found themselves and have certainly embarked on different careers and different paths."

I have to admit, I use to watch this garbage, oops I mean show, and was warped by the lives of these people until the hardcore fake drama started happening, I just couldn't bare watching it anymore.

Hopefully, once this show disappears, so will speidi, the most annoying couple in the world!

BAH! AVATAR got robbed!

I am not a big fan of movies like Avatar, but with all the hype I decided to watch it and seriously FELL IN LOVE!

When it comes to movies like The Hurt Locker, which won for Best Picture (Yes, Avatar got robbed), I had actually watched The Hurt Locker without realizing I was watching The Hurt Locker and I think I dozed in and out during the movie.

It may just be me, but totally thought that Avatar was going to be have a clean sweep at the Oscars. Oh well they still won in Art Direction, Cinematography , and of course Visual Effects.

But I do like how The Hurt Locker proved that you don't have to have a high budget/grossing film with spectacular effects and exquisite visuals to win an Oscar.

Then again, both "Star Wars" and "ET" lost to, "Annie Hall" and "Ghandi," respectively and both movies are still highly recognized today, even without the Best Picture Oscar.

My other highlights include the following:

Hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin kept me laughing!

My favourite line was when Steve Martin pointed out Helen Mirren and had said "damn Helen Mirren" where Baldwin corrected him by saying "Steve, it's Dame Helen Mirren." Hilarious!

When Sandra Bullock won for best actress for The Blind Side. She is my ultimate favourite actress of all time and I was so happy for her that she won and knew that she was very deserving of her Oscar.

All in all I thought these Oscars were pretty good and I loved how a lot of young Hollywood came out, most notable Zac Efron and Taylor Lautner. ;P

Anyways, here is a list of other Oscars winners in 2010:

Best Picture-The Hurt Locker Best Director-Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) Best Actor-Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) Best Actress-Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) Best Supporting-Actor Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) Best Supporting Actress-Mo’Nique – Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire Best Original Screenplay-Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker) Best Adapted Screenplay-Geoffrey Fletcher from Push by Sapphire (Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire) Best Foreign Language Film-El Secreto de Sus Ojos (Argentina) – Juan Jose Campanella Best Original Song-“The Weary Kind” (Crazy Heart) – Ryan Bingham and T-Bone Burnett Best Original Score-Up Michael Giacchino Best Film Editing-The Hurt Locker (Chris Innis and Bob Murawski) Best Sound Editing-The Hurt Locker – Paul N.J.

Oh and Umm...was it just me and maybe I missed it, but did they forget to honour Farrah Fawcett? If they did...hello people in charge of the Oscars, not all of last year was about Michael Jackson and there were other notable people to honour!

Olympic Obsession - I Believe

I BELIEVE!!
Like many, I have been glued to my television screen due to the Olympics and since it is being held in Canada this year, I have to say, I'm pretty proud to be Canadian! With Alexandre Bilodeau's first gold medal win for Canada, the "I Believe" song (which I posted above), to Joannie Rochette's emotional skate two days after the death of her mother, these Olympics have been a whirlwind of emotions.

I've watched and followed sports that I thought I would have never enjoyed watching before and I have fallen in love with athletes because of their Olympic journey!

I am in love with these Olympics, or more obsessed with them!

I literally PVR everything and anything and make sure I don't miss any gold medal action in any sport. :)

But then again, the Olympics are not perfect by any means, but I'd have to say, those added controversies make it that more interesting!

Let me give you some examples:

Sven Kramer, Olympic speedskater who competes from the Netherlands, exploded towards an NBC reporter after she asked him to look into a camera and tell viewers who he is, what he does and so on. This offended him and responded by saying "Are you stupid?" to the reporter.

Here is the video below

Then there is Dale Begg-Smith (pictured below, hes the angry looking one), a Canadian (who coincidently was born in Vancouver, BC) who competes for Australia. He won the silver medal in moguls behind Alexandre Bilodeau. When he first arrive in Canada, he snubbed Canadian media and only spoke with Australian reporters. His excuse was, he only does what he was told.

I think these Olympics just get better and better everyday (with or without the controversies) and I wish it would never end!

Tiger Woods' Press Conference

Enjoy

I got a little teary eyed in the end when he hugged his mom, but then I remembered what he did and took those tears back, lol!

Kevin Smith, producer of Good Will Hunting and director of Zach and Miri make a Porno, was ejected from a Southwest Airlines plane friday because he was dubbed "too fat."

Smith said that a pilot felt that he didn't fit properly on the seat and he needed to be removed from the flight or buy another seat.

After this incident happened, Smith took to his Twitter page and said, "I'm way fat, but I'm not there just yet," and "If you look like me, you may be ejected from Southwest Air." Also posting the picture above with his tweet.

Yesterday, Smith and Southwest Airlines spokesperson, Linda Rutherford, traded words through blogging and this is what each party had to say...

SWA:

"I (Linda) had the chance this afternoon to speak directly with director Kevin Smith. I let him know that in my 18 years here at Southwest, I have never dealt with a situation like what has been unfolding in the last 48 hours. I let Kevin know we have refunded his airfare. I told him we made a mistake in trying to board him as a standby passenger and then remove him. And I told him we were sorry."

Smith:

In a post titled "My Boring A** Life," he wrote, "Linda told me that, before I got anywhere near the plane (remember: I was hoping to get on standby), they were having a space issue on board with another passenger who'd purchased two seats, and they were having a problem moving already-seated passengers to accommodate this person. Enter me, who -- Linda admitted -- WAS NOT A PROBLEM. She fully acknowledged that I wasn't bounced by the Pilot… BECAUSE THE PILOT PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN SEE ME.

"According to Linda, with the melee surrounding boarding and finding a second seat for the other passenger, the Pilot called for a quick settlement of any outstanding issues so that they might take off. And even though I was already planted in my arm-rest lower-able, seat-belt-buckle-able seat, I got the hook."

After this, Rutherford had called Smith telling him she had posted a new blog post and wanted his opinion on it.

Rutherford said to Smith that the people seated next to him were complaining he was oversized and they were leaning away from him because he was taking a lot of room. Smith replied and said that those people were already leaning away once he got to his seat and he even asked them if he was a problem and the passengers had said no.

Smith concluded his latest blog post with this statement,

"You guys screwed up, SWA; why's it so hard to own up to it?"

"So, Linda: I appreciate the effort you made, the time you spent with me on the phone, and the work you put into this. You, too, were a reasonable cat during our conversation,"

"Southwest, I appreciate you refunding my airfare. But if you're not gonna admit I wasn't 'Too Fat To Fly,' then I'll cover it."

The Ultimate Douche Bag

His name: John Mayer!

You know that saying, quit while you're ahead? Well Mayer isn't familiar with this at all.

In a recent interview with Playboy Magazine, Mayer just let everything out! He was racist, talked about his sexual urges, his love for porn, and his spontaneous 30 second make out session with Perez Hilton!

Wow! You ask any question, no matter how inappropriate it is, and this guy will answer it with the most ridiculously blunt answers ever.

Here are a couple excerpts from his interview courtesy of perezhilton.com,

MAYER: It depends on what I picked up. My two biggest hits are “Your Body Is a Wonderland” and “Daughters.” If you think those songs are pandering, then you’ll think I’m a douche bag. It’s like I come on very strong. I am a very…I’m just very. V-E-R-Y. And if you can’t handle very, then I’m a douche bag. But I think the world needs a little very. That’s why black people love me.

PLAYBOY: Because you’re very?

MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, “What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?” And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a n****r pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, “I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’"

PLAYBOY: It is true; a lot of rappers love you. You recorded with Common and Kanye West, played live with Jay-Z.

MAYER: What is being black? It’s making the most of your life, not taking a single moment for granted. Taking something that’s seen as a struggle and making it work for you, or you’ll die inside. Not to say that my struggle is like the collective struggle of black America. But maybe my struggle is similar to one black dude’s.

PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?

MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick.

PLAYBOY: Let’s put some names out there. Let’s get specific.

MAYER: I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, “Yeah, I sucked his dick. Whatever.” And you’d be like, “What? We weren’t talking about that.” That’s what “Heartbreak Warfare” is all about, when a girl uses jealousy as a tactic.

Someone needs to get this guy a better PR person who can tell this guy to shut his mouth!
