Normally I find myself eagerly anticipating the Easter weekend. The first long weekend of spring, it means the kids are able to run and play outside for much of the four days. And with the sun shining, the parks clean and dry and the kids happily anticipating the arrival of the Easter bunny (and the copious amounts of chocolate the bunny brings) it means I can do my ‘Easter bunny prep’ while the kids are outside enjoying the nice weather.
Are you a fan of those ‘Real Housewives’ shows? I must admit, for all of my love of reality television I never got into these shows. I don’t know why since they seem like the kind of material I would love, but I just never started watching. I kind of regret this since I hear so much about them but I just never seem to tune in at the right time. These shows are so popular that one of the stars of Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny Frankel, has since branched out into her own spinoff.
Back in the summer of 1990, when I was 17, the New Kids On The Block tour arrived at our local Ex. OF course we went. My sister and I, both fully obsessed with NKOTB, bought tickets immediately. I was a Jordan (who wasn’t?) and my sister was a Jordan, but also a Danny. The day of the concert it was pouring rain – it was an outdoor concert. The show went on though, but the stage was soaked. They couldn’t dance – at all. Instead, they chose to use the stage as one big slip and slide – it was awesome.
First of all if you have no idea what the title of this blog means I am just a little relieved. I pride myself on the fact that I am pretty up to date on most current trends and goings on in the entertainment and pop culture world. I mean I pretty much eat, sleep and breathe celebrity and pop culture, so I felt a little silly when I had no idea what the ‘Dougie’ was.
If you’ve been following the saga that is Britney Spears you no doubt know that she’s released her latest album, Femme Fatale, and that she’s been hot on the publicity trail to promote it. The good news is that the tracks that I’ve heard so far are good. Sure they’re typical pop fare, but between you and me that’s exactly my kind of music, so I’m ok with that. The bad news is that in Britney’s video for her 1st single ‘Hold it Against Me’ it didn’t look like much had changed in Britney’s world.
Last night marked the return of Kate Gosselin and her uber-famous brood of kids to TV in Kate Plus 8 where Kate takes her kids to Australia. Now first of all let’s just remind you all that I am firmly on Team Kate. I always have been, and I always will be (well, except for that one time when her and Jon were being just ridiculous!) I mean after writing this Jonblocked me on Twitter!
It’s no secret that I am slightly obsessed with celebrity. So last year when my friends decided to take a trip to Beaches in Turks and Caicos – the exact same resort that Beverly Hills 90210’s Jennie Garth and her husband Twilight star Peter Facinelli took their kids to – I had to go! Of course there was the small issue of convincing my husband, but I had faith!
Cartoons – they’re a staple of childhood. For years Hollywood has been trying to capitalize on the appeal of cartoons by remaking some of the most popular ones into live action feature films. This isn’t an easy task by any means, because so much of the appeal of a cartoon is the fact that it’s based on a world of fantasy, and that world doesn’t always translate well into live action. Sometimes the live action adaptation is good, and sometimes it’s bad, but there are some movies that have done a great job of bridging the cartoon to live action genre. Here are some of my favourites;
My kids are creatures of habit – I think they get that from me. They tend to watch the same shows and movies over and over…mostly because I have control of the remote. I tend to play what I know will buy me enough time to get dinner started or grab a quick coffee in the middle of the day. But that gets very boring after a while and makes it so that I can recite the entire dialogue of certain shows in my sleep. Let’s just say that if I have to watch one more episode of Caillou my head might just explode. So when I was asked to let you know that the new Turbo Dogs Volume 2 DVD
Yesterday Dina Lohan, the poster child for stage mother’s everywhere announced that her fallen starlet of a daughter, Lindsay Lohan, would be dropping her last name and going by just ‘Lindsay’ from now on. Yes, that’s right, just ‘Lindsay’. Dina spoke to website PopEater and told them that;
