So, And Thus...

53 Ways

I am posting this article from Oprah, just for the "camp factor". My favorite sub-category in this article is "Wake Up Gorgeous". Evokes images of a 50s musical or TV show in which someone (a blond woman with perfect hair and teeth of course) wakes up with a smile, energetically throws off the blankets and dances around the bedroom.

Sub-category runners-up:

• Do the flip
• Curl for Drama (of COURSE I'd like this one!)
• Pop, you're finished!
• Go for Drama (...and this one too)
• Make Your Fingers Look Graceful

... and for the record, I was NOT reading Oprah.com! CNN had a link to this article.

Excuse me now, I'm going to go and try to figure out how to make my fingers look graceful.

It's Raining McCain?

This is wrong on SO MANY different levels:

This can't be real. It's terrible. Do these women know that the song is a gay anthem?! Are they aware that they can't sing? They can't even do green/blue screen right!

Big Business

I just love the little dance routine! I do it at home... sometimes.

We love you, Bette and Lily!

Dolly Parton Releases Album on Own Label - Entertainment on The Huffington Post

I just love Dolly. Her new album is called "Backwoods Barbie":

Music Row began to lose interest in Parton in the '90s as a new crop of country stars emerged. Her last Top 5 hit, "Rockin' Years," was in 1991, and she hasn't had a major label record deal in 10 years.

"When it changed I was still as serious as ever and was thinking I'm still as good as ever, if I ever was any good," Parton said.

She has watched with interest as new technology has created opportunities without the big labels.

"Now the majors are what they used to think I was: history," she said.

"I thought this is a good time, but I need to make an all-out effort. ... Whatever it takes, you fight for it. You do what you have to do to feed your habit, and I'm a music addict."

Dolly Parton Releases Album on Own Label - Entertainment on The Huffington Post

The point of this post is reiterate what I've said to a few of my industry friends: You don't need major record deals anymore.

Bye bye big ole record labels... Buhbah!

Peep Show

A Peep's gotta do what a Peep's gotta do.

Video Interpretation: Christina Aguilera - "Ain't No Other Man"

Something Ein Oso and I love to do is change the word to songs. I used to do it with La Magnifica too, but we incorporated Spanish, which brought a whole new dimension to it! Very fun.

Well, someone took it one step further and made a video:

Very creative!

Barbie Mariposa

That's right, It's Barbie Mariposa!

"Barbie Mariposa and Her Butterfly Friends"

Ein Oso and I enjoy how the announcer on the commercial horrifically Anglicizes the name of this video.

Had to share.

The Showgirl Must Go On--- Bette Midler

I love how she names her tours. I am a huge fan of puns, and of course, of The Divine Miss M. I cannot believe this woman is 62 years old. She's a national treasure.

Here's a review.

That Worried Look

Is it me, or does Mariah often look worried when she's singing live?

J-Lo Has Twins...

...As in babies people. Babies.

Early this morning, Jennifer Lopez gave birth to a boy and a girl! Everyone is really hoping that the twins look like their mother (read into that any way you want). Don't worry about sending any gifts. Currently they are content with their boobie prize.

The twins already have a lawyer and are looking at deal for a variety show.



Some possible names for the kids:

• Mel-Lo
• Belle-Lo
• Bril-Lo
• Roe-Lo
