My Night Amongst the Stars

The title is a lie.  I totally didn't hang out with the stars, but I did hang out with these crazy worthy name droppers, the editors of Seventeen Magazine.  Big Sister took me out with her bosses on Friday night (I know, totally anti-Shabs), and introduced me to all of her bosses.  Pretty cool, I know.  So they provided me with the low-down on all my favorite celebs, having all been on many a red carpet, movie set, or in their own office conducting interviews.

So obviously I first asked about Gossip Girl.  Serena, or Blake Lively as I was snootily corrected (duh, I know, but character names are more fun to use) is apparently really nice, in a very Hollywood way.  And uh yeah, I didn't know what that meant, because not really in with a Hollywood crowd.  But The Name Dropper informs me that it means she is really nice, great at interviews, but acts like she believes she should act.  Instead of acting like herself, she acts like Blake Lively, the actress from Gossip Girl  and Pants.

Next up, my best friend, Selena Gomez, from my mom's favorite show, Lizards of Waverly Place.  Yeah.  Totally cute, they all think she's beautiful.  But a product of Disney.  Acts only how Disney would want her to and answers her questions in the pre-programmed way that don't give anything real away.  Apparently Miley is way more legit.

Zac Efron is flamboyant

Robert Pattinson is a moron

Alexis Bledel is a Rudebin (sucks, in Fink terms)

America Ferrera is nice, but starved

Kostos is hot

Chase Crawford touched Molly's friend

So I can't remember what else, but if I get to live the glamorous life at some point, I'm all about sharing more.  Feel free to be appalled about any of them.

Yo, Kostos

I just watched Grey's Anatomy from Thursday.  I know that I have complained about this season and last season Grey's but I obviously still watch it, because how else will I know what fatal illness Izzie has (p.s. now I know)?  Well, in walks a family of three siblings. Totally precious, being one of three.  Well, the younger sister was on two of my shows. Like my ultimate shows.  She played Ted's screw up sister on How I Met Your Mother and the bartender who was obsessed with Rusty's fake ID on Greek (two more weeks!!).  So yeah, she was the younger sister.  The older sister was a stranger, who looked vaguely familiar, but I don't care that much.  And the brother, ah the brother.  My dearest, darling Kostos.  He is just taking over my life. I love that he is taking over my life, because although I'm weirdly not attracted to him, not unattracted, just not attracted, I really love him.  All that's left for him is to venture into Juddland and he will be everywhere that I love.  Well, he could also hit up Camp Ramah b'Poconos or the Nederlander or Taste of Thai, but for now, he is all set.  Say hi to Clark Duke and Patrick Dempsey for me! 

Things I Bought Over Spring Break

This is only so far, since I still have two days left of break and I'm going to spend them in Manhattan and the BK.

Oh also, other than gas and food, mainly Wawa.

New Kelly Clarkson CD

The Final Performance of Rent on DVD

Dogma Special Edition

The dvd of Rebecca on sale at Barnes and Noble

First season of How I Met Your Mother

First season of Scrubs

The Sure Thing/Valley Girl  double feature

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, totally special featured up

The Witches of Eastwick because I've never seen it, Michelle Pfeiffer is pretty, and Jack Nicholson is too cool to understand

Ferris Bueller: Bueller Bueller Edition, because I only ever had the vhs and it was getting ridiculous.  Actually I may have the dvd and that could have been a bad purchase.

Neon blue sunglasses that I'm totally excited about!

Why am I telling you this?  Mainly so I can show off my wide variety of movie tastes, because I'm always bragging about my random preferences.  And Rebecca is completely different than Valley Girl.  Booyah playa.

Hooking Up

The other day, my number 1 commentar, AGF, sent me a link to an article about how hooking up is in and dating is out.  Because I have actually been living for the past decade or so, I can see that it's actually weirdly true.  

I have already wrote an entry about kissing, but not about real-life kissing.  Like, hey, let's just hook up until I decide whether or not I like you.  When I was little, I always thought that when

you were a teen

ager, you were supposed to go on a date, and decide at the end of the date whether or not to kiss the guy.  Well, buh bye to that concept, because in this day and age, it starts with the kiss, and after you make out a few times, you decide wheth

er or not you like this person and want to hang out fo realz.  

Last night I was talking to MBF (male best friend), and he was telling me about this girl that he has been hooking up with.  Apparantly down the road at some point, it might become a legit thing.  I just think that if a teen movie (besides Superbad) ever tried to portray hooking up with randos as a normal thing, everyone there would be construed as mondo-ho. But seriously, no ho-dom required.  

Actually, I just watched Nick and Norah for the fourth time, and it basically subscribes to the mentality I just described, making it a totally modern love story.  Score one for them!  Boy and girl kiss, boy and girl hang out, boy and girl get hot and heavy, boy and girl start dating,  Very nice.

Dating is for the going steady and getting pinned generation, a la Bye Bye Birdie.  This generation is physically active and pretty impatient, so let them slut-out!

The Blog

I have been doing this really embarrassing thing lately, where I take things that I write here and then I mention them in public.  It's bad, because then I have to say oh yeah, it's on my blog, you should totally read my blog.  Because although I want people to read it, it's horrifyingly Barney Stinson to talk about your blog in public.  

When I talk about The Blog, I make sure to put on this slightly sarcastic, self-mocking tone, so that people know that I understand the implications of writing a blog.  It's not like I'm giving people life advice.  Just advice on what movies to see and what to watch on Wednesday nights.  I am not Barney Stinson.  I do not pretend that I am 80 and try to seduce girls my age (20).  Now I have to go dry my new hair cut.

Kostos is the Mostos

Ever since Kostos first appeared as the dorkwad stud on Greek, I have seen him everywhere I turn (every channel I turn to really.  It's not like I bump into him at the gym, like I do Mike Lohan Jr).  He was on Swingtown.  And um, he was in Pants 2.  I can't think of anything else, but I'm sure there were more.  

Anyway, I just read on EW.com that Ashlee Simpson, new hair, new face, newly thinned after pregnancy body, is joining the cast of new Melrose Place, which includes Michael Rady, who after my multiple sightings, I have found out is Kostos' real name.  I'm still going to call him Kostos.  

This new job for Kostos means that he and Casey have got to be kaput.  I have never used the term kaput.  I think I will return to over.  This new job for Kostos means that he and Casey have got to be over.  I liked them together, but we all know it's about the Case/Cap love.  I shall miss you Max.  Now go impregnate Ashlee Simpson.

P.S. If you imdb search Michael Rady, the first thing that pops up is character: Michael Brady.

We Love Judd and his self-deprecating humor

Not Judd Nelson, not Ashley Judd.  Actually, I do love Judd Nelson, who plays Bender in The Breakfast Club (from now on to be known as the bc), but I am not writing about him, because I haven't seen him in anything other than one episode of Will & Grace since the bc.  I'm obvs talking about Apatow.  The hairy hunk who produced such wonders as Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, The 40-year Old Virgin (sisters, shut up), Knocked Up, and sort of, my ultimate, Superbad.  

One of Judd's next big projects, after The Year One, is Judd's Sandler flick.  Which might be a huge deal for either end of the project.  In one episode of Undeclared (Netflix it ASAP), Adam Sandler came to their school to do a comedy show and Seth Rogen declared that they had to make him part of their group because he is "the funniest man alive."  The entire episode revolved around how fab Sandler is.  

Where did I read that Sandler is the type of person that you would sleep with because he is famous, even though he isn't attractive?

Whatever, Judd, Seth, and the whole crew somehow managed to secure Sandler for their next big project.  Actually, not somehow.  In this era, all the comedy that does well is by Judd.  Apatowian has actually become an adjective in some circles.  Maybe I'll start using it.  But anyway, it's gotta be great for AdSand's career to join forces with the unstoppable Freaks & Geeks family.  

But the train doesn't stop their.  Who remember Seth Rogen's monologue in Knocked Up, where he talks about how Munich is so sicknasty sweet because Eric Bana makes to make Jews look cool.  I guess Eric Bana was flattered, because he's there right alongside Adam Sandler, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, and Leslie Mann to rock it.  You go guys.  All there with your idols and fans.

But I heard that the whole Eric Bana monologue was improv, so I guess that Bana really has to thank Seth.

I like writing about this, but you might not like reading about it, so up next, I am going to write about something other than movies and tv.  Give me ideas, because my mind is drawing a blank.

Love you!
