she asked for one more dance

aruanShould've been hip to the N.E.R.D. show at the House of Blues in Orlando on Tuesday - ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
giddyupnow and I could've been there that night instead of Wednesday, knowing full well La Timberlake would put in an appearance. He played Senorita! I love that Pharell and Chad continue to be such good sports about his highjacking their spotlight.
Watched my first real chunk of television in over two months the other night. Man, I've missed VH1. That behind-the-scenes of reality shows thing was scaryscary, while the Top 40 moments segment recapped for me the past couple of years without any of the pain of actually watching the awful shows they came from. Lawdy, but I laughed myself silly at William Hung. So bad! Just thinking about the fact that he got a record contract makes me want to cry and vote whoever runs the label off the planet.
I'm to understand that, alas, Nick and Paris have parted ways. A moment of silence for all the pretty that could've been (and my icon here that I never got to use)...
Thank you.
Catch-up continues, blah-di-blah, sing you a new one. Working on that, too. Cropping and cleaning up pictures is bloody tedious work, especially when they're craptastic due to lighting and digital zoom. There are a few interesting ones though, and just so there won't be any nasty surprises for anyone, a choice couple of Jessie as well.
In the interim, there was more television - the Food Channel had a special on the Harmony candy company and discussed chocolate-covered gummi bears, which have taken over my life in a show of monumental futility as I've no feasible way to make them and nowhere to buy them outside Dr. Seuss Land.
Yeah, my life is hard.
giddyupnow and I stopped at CVS (we have those on the East Coast?!) for a few essentials Tuesday night. Which in my case meant 2-for-1 Arizona Ice Tea (thanks to the woman behind me and the cashier both for jumping to let me use their CVS card for the discount), Twist (cover: Did Justin Get A Nose Job? [The doctor's verdict is no. *rolls eyes* Same for Cam's nose and Lindsay's girls, though Britters didn't fare so well, and since I have no educated opinion on that, I'm not going to give it.]) and my find of the week, the US Weekly that inanely asks, Justin and Cameron ON THE ROCKS? Having been absent for two months from all things news and "news"-wise, excuse me as I GORGE.
All the gossip fit to print. Which isn't saying much, actually.
First, Twist (08.2004)
- Michelle Branch, 21, married her 39-year-old bassist. As a fellow 21-year-old, there are too many things in that sentence absurd enough to make me cry.
- Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, and Will Smith all on the same inflatable shark? *adores marketing execs*
- Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom, in a bid to further unnecessarily endear himself to me, took care of homeless dogs while filming in Malta. That's a truly monumental amount of cute.
- Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff are feuding again, this time spurred by a completely harmless skit on SNL. *rolls eyes* I'd say they need lives, but they obviously have them, so mostly, I'm just moving on.
- Andre 3000 is to play Jimmy Hendrix in an upcoming flick. The man certainly has enough personality to spare.
- Kate Winslet apparently "burst into tears" when she saw the MTV show I Want A Famous Face with the girl who got all kinds of surgery to look like her.
- So, this is the August 2004 issue, and Brit's still on tour and single, Mary-Kate doesn't have an eating disorder, Ashlee Simpson is still blonde, and Jake and Kirsten are still together. Oookay then.
- Uh, what's this about Britters giving her brother a lapdance in lingerie for his birthday? My brother doesn't look me in the eye in a bathing suit top, and I know better than to go anywhere near his room without knocking. But hey, whatever works.
- The Meet Your Hollywood Hottie quiz was lost on me, as I scored an evenly split 4-4-4 for Colin Farrell, Orlando Bloom, and Adam Brody. Does that mean I get to have all three?
- Roundup! Justin mentions: Seven (including the cover, plus a tertiary mention in a Cameron blurb) Britney mentions: Seven (no cover).
US Weekly (07.26.2004)
- Bad flower dresses are back. You know, there is really no reason to make something that beautiful distasteful.
- Really darling pictures of Justin/Cam and Jessica/Nick on the contents page. And no bad puns in the captions! Bodes much better than the tackiness of the last mag.
- ColinFarrellholdinghisbabyboy! Just be glad you didn't hear that at full volume with the accompanying squee.
- Lindsay Lohan has the most fabulous shoes. Y'all can covet her boobs, I want her heels.
- Johnny Depp has a tattoo of the sparrow design and the name Jack on his forearm! I know that's his son's name, but still, how cool. That's an experience I'd want commemorate, too.
- Avril's angsty rocker chic mantle is lost as she's spotted wallowing in PDA at a Beverly Hills hotel. Whatever keeps her from giving another camera her tortured monkey pout.
- Beyonce is 22?! I feel like such a massive underachiever. Also, how people manage to look that grown-up that young is beyond me. If I wore her dresses, I'd look about eleven having just raided my savvy older sister's closet. Or a whore with a little eyemakeup. I'm such a boy in everything but body type.
- Let's all cry a final tear for the 55-Hour Husband who got to live a few million men's best fantasies and was forced to wake up the next morning.
- Jon Stewart has a new baby boy! And he has a name that won't get his ass kicked on the elementary school playground! As silly as I want to shag him, I'm glad he's happy.
- In inevitable news, Lindsay Lohan has inked a "multi-album" record deal. *heaves world-weary sigh*
- Macy Gray performed at the Elton John AIDS Foundation benefit in London on July 5th in nothing but a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes.
- Okay, the cover story. Apparently, on the 6th, when Justin went to see Joey and the two partied at Suede afterward, he picked up a blonde and bounced with Joey, who allegedly had a friend of hers on his arm. Cam and Justin apparently hadn't hung out since the 5th, and were apart when the sex tape scandal broke. There was an alleged report of a blow-up at a bar in Australia. They're saying everything from Justin's too-large entourage to her fear of commitment is behind their alleged troubles. Well, all I've got is that they were nothing but adorable together this weekend, but who's to say what that's worth.
- Nick Lachey is thirty?! Also, for the love of all that is good and decent in this world, please don't let that woman raise a child without a real mother figure around.
- There is a suspiciously double-take-inducing picture of Britters' fiance, Kevin Federline, from their recent Hawaii vacation. Three guesses why, first two don't count. Oh, baby doll.
- Christina looks fabulous wearing glamorous things that reveal her underwear. Watch Jules seethe in jealousy. I want occasion to wear such things! Alas, there are decency laws that apply to those of us in the real world.
And lastly, very happy birthdays to J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter.
Quote of the Day:
"It's not like I'm going to date a 30-year-old. Unless it's Jude Law! My parents and I have an agreement that dating him would be OK."
- Lindsay Lohan (you and the rest of us)
