THE coolest ever.
Can you imagine being this cool?
Celebrité: Britney’s Pepsi Commercial
Can we take a moment to relive the EPIC amazingness of this Britney Spears Pepsi commercial from back in the day. This may be my favorite commercial of all time. No joke. The song sounds just like her pop music, there’s dancing and costume changes, and beverages are being shared! What’s not to love?
Celebrité: Female celebrities with beards
Katy Perry looks like a really fun man. The kind that will buy all kinds of red bull shot/drinks and dance on the floor with you to pop music for hours.
Forever Young: Donna Summer
Funky disco queen!!!!!!!
RIP Donna
Donna Summer “Love to Love You Baby”
Don’t you wish this was your life: Beyoncé edition
I want to be her. The images of Beyonce at the beach make me happy, in the sort of “you’re really rich, talented, famous, beautiful and successful, and I bet that drags you down a lot. I’m so glad you’re on yachts in the ocean with wifi, your sister, and a personal chef.”
It’s really cool to look through all her photos, because they aren’t just paparazzi shots. Paparazzi shots have a double dose of wicked behind them. You see Beyoncé at a basketball game in a magazine or blog, but seeing similar photos on her own blog puts a personal effect to it. Instead of a “STAR SPOTTING!!!” it’s date night at a b-ball game with beer, shitty food and Jay. In a way, it normalizes her vastly non-normal, high class life. Check out the rest of her pictures here. They are beautiful and awesome.
Just fucking beautiful.
On the fence: Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera has definitely been going through a poo-poo streak as of late. Her last album release was a strange mix of WTF and “I’m sexy dammit, I’M SEXY!!!” She’s gained some weight to the joy and chagrin of many, been called a drunk, a bitch, a cow, got her period at Etta James’ funeral, went through a divorce and had her latest album bomb. Holy moly. It’s all to a lesser degree compared to our Brit-brit, but still. Xtina has been in some shitty shit too.
Nevertheless, all the shit-talking that has been surrounding her poo-poo attitude about everything, I decided it was time to examine what makes Xtina so very X-ey about her.
The Evidence
Xtina has never come off as a nice, personable person. At her high school prom, everybody walked off the dance floor when her single “Genie in a Bottle” came on. Granted, high school kids are total jealous freaks who would obviously be pissed that their science fair project on carpet cleaners got upstaged by the voice of a generation. But maybe she was just rude too and everyone hated her. 0
Stripped was quite possibly one of the best pop albums of the last decade. For real. +20
Her diva attitude is no surprise. When you have a voice like Christina, it’s understandable. But the girl isn’t some weird genius musician who can get away with it. She forgets lyrics to the National Anthem, makes The Voice do reshoots (allegedly) if she looks fat in any shots and hasn’t put out a hit song by herself in many years. -5
She doesn’t have any good luck when it comes to publicity. Mtv totally screwed her on the publicity front during the infamous 3-way-ish kiss between herself, Madonna and Britney. Brit and M kissed first, and during Xtina’s smooch the camera cut to Britney‘s fresh ex-bf Justin Timberlake (GAWWWWWD I miss the Britney-Christina-JT drama!! Those were the days) Sadsies! 0
Her latest album Bionic was a complete conceptual mess! Remember that song MIA wrote for her and she totally botched?! She tried to sing like MIA and it did not work. Which sucks because it’s a cool song but, no. -3
She went on tour with Justin Timberlake. The Stripped/Justified tour. WHY DIDN’T I GOOO!!!?!?!? +6
Her style is super weird. Granted many in the bubblegum pop era dressed like shit. But X-tina has never been a fashionista, and that’s failing part of your Pop Star Grade, honey. -1
She sings live in concert. Which, sadly, for a singer, is something cool and impressive. +10
Her feud with Adam Levine is weird. How could anyone feud with the lead singer of Maroon 5, unless it’s all staged drama for ratings and to keep people talking about them (smart move, guys!) -2
The Score
25. I guess she isn’t all that bad. Her style is bad, but Stripped is one great pop album, and she has a nice voice. Good luck I guess?
Alert the Pope: Rihanna unfollows Chris Brown on Twitter
It’s exactly how it sounds. Rihanna has FINALLY come to her senses and unfollowed Chris Brown. Holy shit, breaking news. (so sad that our entertainment industry is so spotty that celebrity drama is like it’s own, real life show told through gossip bloggers in LA and magazines)
After Chris Brown released a version of Kanye’s “Theraflu” in which he freestyles “Don’t f*ck with my old bitches / like a bad fur / every industry n*gga done had her.” WTF. Rihanna suspects it’s about her, because why wouldn’t it be she’s fuckingRihanna. Chris Brown is like the lowest life form imaginable. He beats the shit out of her, she forgives him and they remix songs together (and maybe some sex) and then she probably got bored and left him for good, spawning a tasteless verse in a remix of a Kanye song.
Is that gonna be a recurring plot? Like once a year someone gets salty at an ex in a remixed version of anything Kanye. Katy Perry would be first in line I bet.
Rihanna is becoming quite the leading lady in the tabloids. Unfollowing Chris Brown on Twitter is like the reality show star announcing a pregnancy. Those raggy mags are soaking up ALL the social media drama! What modern times!

Television: “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23” is SO COOL
This is why you should be watching Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23:
- James van der Beek plays himself. No, really. That Ke$ha video really saved his career.
- It’s sitcom-y, but without the laugh track, horrible lighting and annoying characters on How I Met Your Mother (yeah, I said it!)
- The characters are awesome. One supporting is a pervert who lives across the alley who is also good at psychology. Exciting! The girl who lives down the hall is obsessed with one of the main characters, Chloe, and follows her and shit. Chloe is a scheming party girl that you can’t help but love. Sold yet?
- It’s about 20 somethings in New York, but what isn’t?!
- Chloe’s wardrobe is awesome.
This is too much fun. Image via ibtimes.com - Chloe is always drunk.
- June is the other main character. She’s from Indiana (I think) and is the naive, “good girl” who is a worry-wort, had a life plan (gross) and an MBA, but can’t get a real job because the economy blows. She freaks out about everything.
- One Million Moms (73 women with mall highlights) hates the show because it is “sexually-explicit”. Bahaha!
Seriously, this show is so weird, and so awesome in a way that makes you feel cool for being in your 20s, not depressing yet honest a la Girls. For your afternoon pleasure, here’s the link to watch the episodes. There are 5. I’m halfway through them, and already jealous of you if you have not seen this show yet.
Jon Hamm’s relationship advice for 16-year-olds is MELT-WORTHY

Forever Young: Mia Farrow
Vidal Sassoon beauty, pixie cut forager, Woody Allen muse, Woody Allen muse, Frank Sinatra’s ex (she was 21, he was 50. WHAT THE WHAT!!!), humanitarian activist and film icon. I read once somewhere that she got so sick of fame and acting that she gave all of her money away to starving children somewhere. #thatshitcray
She’s a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador who focuses on fighting child hunger and tirelessly posts on her Twitter about all the injustices in the world. Someone needs to send this girl on a vacay, stat.
She’s also adopted many children throughout the years, along with having children biologically with husbands here and there. Possibly her most famous family drama was when she discovered that her then husband, Woody Allen, was having sex with her adopted daughter from a previous marriage, Soon-Yi. That story will never not be creepy.
Nevertheless, Rosemary’s Baby is a frightening and amazing film, her bone structure let women everywhere feel confident about short hair and it’s always nice to fight for the rights of people who don’t have a good leg up in this world.
