Ughz. I feel like tugging my hair out — I’m so frustrated and sad, for a lack of better word. My period is coming in 4 days’ time, kinda explains.
1. I hate it when my lappy has bits and pieces of dust in hard-to-reach areas in the keyboard. It’s so dirty and it annoys me
2. The blue colouring on my NAD lettering behind my phone is fading off
3. I haven’t gotten hold of the last 3 parts of Grey’s Anatomy
4. Nick :/
I need to eat/do/have happy stuffs. Thus:
I want to go to Uniqlo and buy my striped knitwear. Topshop doesn’t seem to have anything currently that excites me to the core. I’m still waiting for the arrival of a certain striped jumper but it still hasn’t arrive.
I’m don’t have cravings for any sort of food right now.. so no food. Feel fatz.
Din says the most appropriate stuffs when needed, so (:

Lindsay Lohan Hosts F1 Rocks Singapore Grand Prix Concerts: ”
Lindsay Lohan will host three days of concerts, featuring Beyonce Knowles and Black Eyed Peas, to coincide with Sunday night’s Singapore Grand Prix.
Lohan, 23, was a last-minute replacement after Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger dropped out earlier this month. The F1 Rocks Concert Series — featuring No Doubt, ZZ Top, Simple Minds, Beyonce, the Black Eyed Peas, and N.E.R.D. — kicked off in Singapore on Thursday night and is expected to wrap up this Saturday. “It’s a bunch of amazing performers whom I’m a really big fan of,” says Lindsay, a devoted Formula One fan. “I like to drive. I like cars. I like fast cars,” she said. “I studied NASCAR for almost a year for Herbie. It was very hot inside those cars.”
In 2005, Lindsay starred in the Disney feature Herbie: Fully Loaded, a comedy about a Volkswagen Beetle on the racing circuit.
This is something for almost everyone, you should be able to know how to make your body look it best no matter what shape or size you may be.
What is My Body Shape?
There are four common body shapes, and a majority of women fall into one of those shape categories. Common body types include:
The Apple Body Shape: Women with this type of shape usually have an upper body that is larger than their lower body. When women with this body type gain weight, it has a tendency to show around the waistline.
The Pear Body Shape: Pear-shaped body types typically have a smaller upper body. Weight gain tends to fall in the hips, thighs, and legs.
The Hourglass Shape: A defined waist and curvy upper and lower body are typical of this body type.
The Rectangle Body Type: AKA athletic or straight body type, rectangular body shapes have fewer defined curves. Waist, hips, and breast measurements may be more similar to each other than with other body types, and weight gain is often evenly distributed.
Keep in mind that these are general shapes. Use the tips as a guideline to draw attention to your best features and look your best!
Lindsay doesn't always dress for her apple shaped body, but this pretty dress gives her a defined waist and long neck which makes her look more proportioned
Body Shape Fashion Tips for Apple Types
Apple shapes can show off fabulous legs! Typically apply body shapes need to de-emphasize the waist, and sometimes minimize the appearance of broad shoulders or chest. Try a few of the following style tips:
V-neck tops can create a more elongated look and draw eyes upward.
Cinched waists or wrap tops and belted or nipped waist jackets can give the illusion of a smaller waist.
Raised waist and empire tops and dresses can camouflage extra weight around the tummy.
Go for low-rise, flat front jeans and pants in flared or wide leg styles, or boot cuts with slimming tops.
Pair shorter skirts with tunic style to show off great legs and create proportion.

Tips for Pear Body Shapes
You girls can draw attention to the fabulous shoulders and top half. Look for clothing that broadens and adds dimension to shoulders and draws attention away from hips and thighs. Pear body shape fashion tips include:
Choose wider necklines, such as squared, or cowl necks
Blouses and tops with pattern and texture draw attention to the upper body.
Pair light or brightly colored tops with darker bottoms for a more balanced look.
Boot cut or boyfriend cut jeans and pants can help create the appearance of leaner looking legs for pears.
A-line or asymmetric skirts skim the hips rather than drawing attention to them.
Choose jackets that fall just above the hip rather than longer versions.

Look for scoop neck or v-neck tops to create curves.
Choose jackets with defined waists or that flare out from the waist.

Layered looks can add more dimension to this figure type.
Try tops and blouses that have detail around the bust area for shape.
The dresses that are straight are styles that break up a silhouette with prints, patterns, dimension details like rouching, and tailored designs.

Tips for Hourglass Shapes
Hourglass shapes can show off their curves. You can either draw attention to a narrow waist and show off curves, or choose clothing that de-emphasizes bust and hips to create a longer, leaner look.

Tailored blouses and fitted skirts and dresses show off your curves.
To elongate and balance an hourglass:
Go for monochromatic colors for balance.
Choose v-necks to flatter and draw the eye in vertical motion.
Choose thin, lightweight fabrics to avoid adding extra bulk.
Try pants or jeans with a slight flare for balance.
Lindsay Lohan llevará su reino del terror hasta Singapur, donde ha sido contratada para ser la anfitriona de una serie de conciertos que se realizarán como evento previo a la premiación del ganador de la Formula 1. La actriz estaría reemplazando a Nicole Zcherinzinger (o como se escriba) después de que la líder de las Pussy Cat Dolls cancelara su participación cuando su ex novio, un corredor de la Formula 1, la tronara; ahora la cantante no quiere ni estar en la misma ciudad que él. Los conciertos, conocidos como F1 Rocks, se realizarán del jueves al sábado e incluyen a Beyonce, Black eyed peas, No Doubt y N.E.R.D entre otros.
Un evento de esa magnitud seguro será una gran fiesta, y no hay persona más fiestera que Lindsay, esperemos nada más que sobreviva del jueves hasta el sábado. Además la actriz es fan de la Formula 1 desde que filmó Herbie, donde intepreta a una corredora que maneja un bochito, porque para ese rol ella jura que estudio las categorías de la NASCAR. Pero sin duda su mayor experiencia la tiene en las autopistas americanas donde ha chocado varios carros, e incluso participado en una persecución, es más, en lugar de ser anfitriona del concierto debería participar en las carreras y añadir un oficio mas a su lista de actriz, cantante, diseñadora, directora creativa, productora…
Après les films, les séries télé, les albums et les séances en désintox, Miss Lohan semble s’être trouvée une nouvelle façon de faire parler d’elle! Avec la mission de rajeunir les créations pour la collection Printemps-Été à venir aux côté de l’espagnole Estrella Archs chez Emanuel Ungaro, une chose est plus que certaine: On risque de voir affiché plus régulièrement le nom de la griffe dans les mois qui suivront. Reste à savoir si ce sera pour s’extasier sur les modèles bientôt dévoilés… ou suite à la lecture des magazines à potins vantant les déboires de la rousse!
C’est le 4 octobre qu’on aura la chance de jeter un coup d’oeil à la nouvelle collection. J’ai l’impression que plusieurs seront plus que critiques… Laissons lui tout de même une chance, qui sait!, peut-être que Lindsay a enfin trouvé sa voie…

Kardashian, Kim — The reality star(?) blogged Monday that during the Emmy awards on Sunday night, she had a problem with her awards show gown when the “entire zipper ripped” en route to the ceremony. This would explain why thousands of people watching wondered why it appeared that Michael Chiklis and Paul Giamatti were crouching naked next to one another on the red carpet directly behind Kim Kardashian on Sunday night.

Lohan, Lindsay — The adorable, mischevious Freaky Friday ingenue has supposedly been linked to one of the prime suspects in the recent burglary of her home. Nick Prugo,18, is under suspicion of having ties to the burglary and has a prior arrest for cocaine possession. “This is all so silly,” laughed Lohan. “Of course I don’t know Nick Prugo. I mean, if I knew a cocaine-dealing burglar, don’t you think I’d be high on stolen cocaine right now?”

Opera, Metropolitan — Opening night at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, featuring a new rendition of Puccini’s Tosca, was marred when violent booing broke out in an unhappy audience. It’s okay, Met Opera — they weren’t booing, they were chanting “diminuuuuuuuuuuendo.”

Abrams, J.J. — The Lost, Alias and Fringe creator says that the upcoming Star Trek sequel may deal with “modern day issues.” This can only mean that we’ll see Chekov’s difficulties in an English as a Second Language Program, Scottie’s adult-onset diabetes, Spock’s plastic surgery efforts and an ongoing galactic conflict which will see the Romulans marching for equal marriage benefits.

Coulier, Dave — Full House’s former Uncle Joey has been nabbed by the Internal Revenue Service, who claim the comic owes upwards of $50,000 in backlogged state and federal unpaid taxes. The IRS was tipped off to Coulier’s malfeasances after the recent release of singer Alanis Morrisette’s recent hit “You Took My Heart (and Neglected to Pay $50,000 in Back State and Federal Taxes),” a song widely believed to be a slam on ex-lover Coulier by the Canadian songstress.

Elizabeth, Queen — An upcoming book entitled Queen Elizabeth: The Queen Mother will reportedly divulge, for the first time, private correspondence and letters sent by the Queen of England during the height of her reign in the mid 1900’s. Notable revelations? That her social studies teacher Mr. Henderson is “soooo boring,” and that Montgomery Clift is “totally the cutest,” as well as her longtime secret desire to manufacture an all-girl pop band with names who describe them best, like “Sporty,” “Scary,” and “Polio.”
Harrelson, Woody — Actor Harrelson claims that he narrowly escaped death at the hands of — no lie — a “Croatian Judo Gang” after the ruffians recognized him as the character Woody Boyd from the classic sitcom Cheers. Unfortunately, John Ratzenberger had little such luck during a recent run-in with the Yakuza and George Wendt discovered the hard way that the Cosa Nostra didn’t watch much NBC in the early nineties. Rest in Peace, Cliff and Norm.

Muita gente gosta de se inspirar nas famosas para compor o visual. Legal ou não, afinal de contas, não é porque é conhecida que quer dizer que se veste bem. Procuramos algumas celebridades em suas roupitchas de praia, vejam e tomem suas próprias conclusões.
O preto é uma cor muito popular até para os biquínis. Fica legal em quase qualquer cor de pele e nos permite brincar bastante com a saída de banho. Repare que embora a parte do bumbum dos biquínis de lá sejam grandes, quando visto de frente, parece muito com os nossos modelos. Tem até o sutiã de cortininha e a parte de baixo de amarrar – que é legal por não valorizar muito nossas gordurinhas que muitas tem do lado nos quadris, porque dá para ajustar, sem ficar parecendo um colchão amarrado encima do bagageiro da Kombi. Os biquínis mais cavados e de laterais finas, como o de Kelly Ripa podem dar a impressão que sua perna é mais longa.
Esses modelos, com alças do sutiã um pouco mais largas e com a frente única, ficam legais em mulheres com muito busto. Se tiver um bojinho pode ser mais confortável, porque vai ajudar a sustentar seus seios. No caso, deve-se evitar enfeites e estampas, que vão fazer seus seios explodirem de tão enormes que ficarão. Cuidado!
O branco fica ótimo em quem já esta um pouco bronzeada. É ideal para fazer um tipo na areia ou na beira da piscina, não recomendamos propriamente tomar um banho de mar, simplesmente porque pode ficar transparente, se não tiver um bom forro. E as vezes o forro pode ser bege, e quem te olhar, vai achar que está da mesma forma transparente.
Os biquínis das três garotas ilustres acima são um pouquinho maiores. O meu preferido é o de Kelly Carlson, achei até chic, adoro esse tipo de sutiã porque tenho pouco busto, cria um formato interessante. Calcinhas como a de Britney Spears ficam legais em quem tem pernas longas.
Continua aquela tendência de usar a calcinha diferente do sutiã. O que todo indica, pelas fotos, essa mania já faz a cabeça das famosas. Esse sutiã de Miley Cyrus apareceu em vários desfiles, com as alças um pouco mais largas. É uma boa opção para as mulheres com peitos grandes, porque não mais sustentação e, por tem as alças largas, não dão a impressão que seu busto é ainda maior.
Aqui no Brasil as mulheres também gostam de misturar os biquínis. Particularmente não curto, mas a mania está nas praias mais badaladas e nos corpos mais cobiçados do país… O modelo de Danielle Winits é interessante para as meninas que tem pouca cintura. O efeito do amarrado nas laterias, junto com o sutiã de alças finas que aumentam o seu busto, dá a sensação que você tem um pouco mais de cintura. Se esse for o seu caso, experimente. O mesmo vale para as meninas de quadris estreitos, só que dêem preferência as cores claras na parte debaixo, que aumentam ainda mais.
Nos corpos magros como de Cíntia Dicker e Carolina Bittencourt tudo fica bem. Elas estão lindas e estão com as pernas absurdamente longas. Aqui fica uma comparação interessante, Aline Moraes, que já foi modelo e não é mais, esta muito mais cheinha, não estou falando que esta gorda, que as ex-colegas de profissão.
A combinação de sutiã de cortininha mais calcinha de amarrar ainda é extremamente popular, principalmente por aquelas que amam tomar um solzinho. O modelo é o queridinho tanto nas celebridades de lá, como nas de cá.
Na verdade, esse modelo fica mais bonito, como quase tudo nessa vida, em quem tem corpo em cima e peitos pequenos, se não, fica muito vulgar com aquele monte de carne sobrando.
Gosto muito desses tops que são franzidos no meio, para mim que tenho pouco busto, me dá algo que não possuo: volume! Para quem tem muito peito é quase um crime! Os modelos com bojo em formato de concha ainda achatam os seios e te deixa com um busto feio. Proibido para as peitudas.
E babados? Aqui no Brasil isso não pega muito bem não. Porém o modelo é legal também para as meninas despeitadas, porque dá volumes aos seios.
Para finalizar o post vamos a um modelo que achei absurdamente ousado. Lindsay Lohan com esse biquíni com aquela tendência de um modelo maior, ele lembra aqueles vestidinhos bondage, não é?
E para vocês leitoras do blog, qual é o it bikini?
aparentemente Lindsay no es la mejor de las hermanas…desde el punto de vista de un padre claro, si yo fuera Ali estaría mas que contenta! Lindsay esta yendose de parranda todos los dias y no tiene mejor idea que llevarse a Ali ( 15 ) con ella.
En estados unidos la edad de Ali es considerada ilegal para estar en bares, debería tener por lo menos 18 para poder entrar.No es que Ali se queje, de hecho esta mas que contenta!!!! le encanta entrar a los lugares a donde va su hermana, estar con sus amigos y hacer cosas de gente grande.
Además de eso, todo lo que tiene Lindsay , Ali lo quiere también ( típico de hermanas) asi que .. maaaaaaaaarrrche una dosis de colágeno en los labios para la baby Lohan! ( sin contar que fuentes cercanas a la familia dicen que empezó a tomar pastillas para adelgazar.. como si le hiciera falta!)
Dina parece hacer oídos sordos a todo esto, aceptando para colmo de males sacar a Ali del colegio e insertarla en un programa de “home schooling” ( colegio en casa) para que termine sus estudios secundarios o la prepa como quieran llamarla.
Recordemos todos que lo mismo pasó con Lindsay, primero el homeschooling, después los bares, etc etc.
Esperemos que Dina reflexione y no permita que los escándalos rodeen también a su hijita mas pequeña, o por lo menos que espere a que cumpla 18!!!!
I remember last year when my friends were on the chase for the perfect riding boots. Hours later the common complaint was that they were either too small at the calf or too big, in a classic pair with stylish detail. Since this trend is still a craze with celebs are bring them straight from the catwalk to the streets. Below are some tips to help you find your perfect pair.
For women with slender calves, it’s sometimes hard to find the best boots without them looking loose fitting. To help avoid the problem it’s best to go for mid-calf boots with top adjustable buckles or boots with zips as they tend to be more shaped around the legs.
At £29.99 these patent black mid-calf boots are ideal with double buckle design around the calf.
For women with large calves, it’s best to go for boots with stretch design or loose fit around the calf’s to avoid the overspill look at the top when the boots are too tight. You can even go for knee high boots to draw the focus away from the calf area.
These super sexy riding boots have a stretch back and look fabulous with short skirts or dresses, retail price £22.39, by My1stWish.
If you want a pair of riding boots that will draw attention and revamp the plainest outfit, look for detail. Riding boots come with strong detail such as buckles in silver and gold design. Also go for patent black boots to add a classic feel, just make sure you keep them clean unless you really want to get the ‘been horse riding’ look!
These stylish riding boots by My1stWish fit the bill at £29.99 they will add instant glam to your outfit. Wear them with dark jeans and chunky knit cardigan and I m sure everyone will envy your look.
So what boots are you wearing this Winter? Let me know of your thoughts and ideas and I will publish the best responses!
Quien de todos los directores desearía que en su opera prima como director tuviera un reparto como el que logró Emilio Estevez en ésta su primer película.
Sinopsis.
Bobby” recrea en imágenes una de las noches más explosivas y trágicas de la historia de los EE.UU. Siguiendo las evoluciones de 22 personajes ficticios en el Hotel Ambassador la víspera en que el esperado presidenciable y senador Robert F. Kennedy fue asesinado, el guionista y director Emilio Estévez y un reparto de conjunto de primer nivel forjan un mosaico íntimo de unos EE.UU que se precipitan hacia un momento de cambio demoledor. Mientras, los distintos personajes navegan por entre el prejuicio, la injusticia, el caos, y sus propias vidas complicadas, buscando la última señal de esperanza en el idealismo de Kennedy. Mostrando las diversas experiencias de gente corriente, la película conmemora el espíritu de un hombre extraordinario y sirve como instantánea de aquel momento tan emblemático de la historia.
Bobby (2006)
La historias entrelazadas le dan ese doble o triple interés a la trama, porque toca diferentes y ambigüos sentimientos, desde el racismo que sienten el grupo de mexicanos y gente de color en la cocina, al ser obligados a trabajar turno doble por el evento en el hotel, escuchar a Laurence FishBurn dar una lección de como reaccionar de manera madura una segregación.
La historia de un triangulo amoroso del gerente del hotel (William H. Mace) donde tiene una aventura con la hermosa Heather Graham interpretando a la telefonista del hotel, mientras su esposa Sharon Stone es dueña de la estética del hotel y se realiza una situación confusa de un matrimonio basada en la confianza y los años, pero habrá una inesperada situación de extorsión por parte de Christian Slater al ser despedido por el gerente, y conocer el secreto del mismo.
La parte “cómica” tal vez la presenta Shia LaBeouf con Ashton Kutcher cuando el primero es un militante joven del partido quien es enviado a traer gente a la urnas, pero decide ir con su compañero a conseguir droga, y el dealer un hippie (Ashton) les proporciona una dosis en su departamento y se presentan un pasón divertidísimo con imágenes de la problemáticas de los jovenes en los sesentas y la travesuras que harán en el hotel al seguir drogados.
También veremos actuar al director (Emilio Estevez) interpretando al marido y manager de una gran cantante alcohólica interpretado por Demi Moore, que se presentará esa noche en la recepción del candidato Bobby, los problemas entre pareja siendo menospreciado por su esposa al ser ella la estrella del show.
La historia con una termino mas dramático es la que llevan Lindsay Lohan y Elijah Woods, éste último tiene la consigna de ser enviado a Vietnam, así que una forma de escaparse de esa obligación es el estar casado, por lo que pide a su amiga que se case con ella para evitar ser alistado.
Por otra parte existe otra historia muy aburrida entre Helent Hunt y Martin Sheen, donde tratan de recobrar el amor de pareja perdido por los años y la monotonia.
Y por último la historia que se vive dentro de la casa de campaña entre alguno de los organizadores Joshua Jackson y Nick Cannon, este último de raza negra que siente ser menospreciado y como su compañero valora su trabajo e interés al proponerlo a un buen hueso al ser elegido Bobby.
Faltaron algunas historias más por contar, pero el desenlace del atentado a Bobby da una un cambio total a las historias antes contadas.
El soundtrack aunque lleno de diferentes matices, la canción representativa es “The Sound of the Silent” by Paul Simon, donde la dirección hace resaltar la esperanza norteamericana con la familia Kenedy.
Es una película que debe ser disfrutada por domingo en la tarde, con el desenfado de pasar un poco mas de horas y disfrutarla.

Live, Saturday Night – After the recent axing of cast members Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson, rumors have begun to circulate that Wilson’s drop from the staff may be due to the fact that showrunners asked the actress to drop thirty pounds, which she failed to do. My sources, however, mention that they did give Wilson a choice: either drop thirty pounds or, in SNL tradition, add another hundred and pick up an raging heroin habit.

As we tweeted yesterday (yes, it’s taken us a full 24 hours to digest the news fully), Lindsay Lohan has been offered a post as “artistic advisor” at Emanuel Ungaro. Er, is that just a fancy name for muse?
We say this because what it will apparently entail is La Lohan scooting off around the world, making appearances and being “where the activities of the brand are,” or so says Ungaro’s CEO Mounir Moufarrige. He told WWD young Lindsay “does have an eye [for fashion]… I like the way [Lohan] dresses. Her house [in Los Angeles] is a mini-department store. She changes outfits five times a day.” If that’s all it takes to be a muse – sorry, artistic advisor - at a major fashion house these days, then sign me up!
She will team up with new designer Estrella Archs (who replaces Estaban Cortazar) and Lindsay herself says of her role: “I kind of oversee everything [Archs] does, while working with her.”
Ungaro appears to be wanting to head in a younger, hipper direction, with Cortazar recently using Fashion Toast blogger Rumi Neely, known for her edgy street style, as a muse. We’re interested to see what this new collaboration will bring about – roll on October 4, when their collection will debut at Paris Fashion Week!
Lindsay Lohan é uma coisa incrível…Que por mais que ela faça cagada na vida, continua sendo assediada e vendendo cada vez mais. Prova disso é a última notícia sobre os rumos profissionais da trouble-it-girl, que foi contratada para ser consultora artística da marca do estilista Emanuel Ungaro em sua nova coleção Primavera/Verão, que irá ser apresentada em Paris, em outubro.
Essa notícia na verdade é antiiiga…
Mas antes era tratada apenas como um boato, onde diziam inclusive que Esteban Cortazar (ex-designer chefe), teria pedido sua demissão em protesto a decisão da contratação de Li-Lo.
Here is Lindsay Lohan shopping in SoHo last night. That’s right my friends, it’s a side boob. You’re thinking to yourself, “Hey, Procrastibate writer, you stupid ninnie-chaser, we always get to see Lindsay Lohan’s side boob. What’s so different about this time?” I’ll tell you. Nothing. I would say that she looks like a gothic reinvention of an MGMT member but that’s nothing new for her. In fact, she has done the look of “washed-up hippie” so many times that she may have actually been the one who started the hipster trend. Did you hear that? That was the sound of every hipster dropping their organic soy-infused natural arabica lattes and turning their expression from pensive to aghast.
Labor Day is here, and that means SFB playoffs! Paul takes a look at the two first-round matchups between Jon’s WonTons/Los Gomos Extranos and Jack’s Survivors/Parizona Carollas.
by Paul Gammons
After a wait that was nearly as epic as Playboy’s wait for Linsday Lohan, the 2009 SearchFantasyBaseball playoffs are finally here. It was a wild ride though, with no playoff spots clinched early this year. Just a handful of points separated the top six competitors heading into the final week of the regular season, meaning those precious first-round byes were very much up for grabs.
Congratulations to Mimosox and Chamiqua for earning the week off; we’ll get to them next week. And condolences to Cavemen (122-115-27) and Woman Juice (126-117-21), as this was the first time in memory that SFB had two above-.500 teams fail to make the playoffs (that’s what happens when the really, really bad teams stink as much as they did this year).
But now we’ve got a pair of tremendous matchups, so let’s get right to ‘em.
(4) Jon’s WonTons (135-111-18)
(5) Los Gomos Extranos (128-109-27)
Chad Pennington must’ve learned the art of the comeback from Jon’s WonTons. Each year, the squad seems to flounder until August, then suddenly pulls an Artie Lange (minus the freebasing and DUIs) on the league and barrels its way into the playoffs. This year was no different, going 24-12 to finish off the year before a 7-4 loss to Chamiqua in the season’s final week.
Like the Swine Flu, Los Gomos Extranos just won’t stop unleashing its tirade of Mexican fury on the league. As I noted in my last column, Gomes has been the hottest team heading into the playoffs, winning eight of its last nine matchups, despite the season-ending injury to ace Johan Santana.
The season series between the two foes was a split (5-4 Tons in week 3; 7-5 Gomes in week 14), pointing to a Gosselin-like battle for the ages in this first-round duel. I give Gomes a fighting chance, as Ryan Zimmermann is displaying why he’s a franchise cornerstone, and Carlos Pena is once again going on a post-break tear looks to be the 2009 AL home run king. But the Tons have an offense that makes opponents feel like Tila Tequila at Shawne Merriman’s house, and starters like C.C. Sabathia, Clayton Kershaw and Feliz Hernandez have been lights-out since the break.
The defending champs look strong heading into the post-season. Jack’s Survivors have won four of its last five, and are undefeated in its last seven.
The Parizona Carollas have a lot in common with Adam Carolla: it can never seem to get anything going. The team has only had one winning streak of more than two weeks all season, and when it finally started getting momentum heading into the playoffs, it tripped on the hairy feet of the Cavemen.
Parizona took the week eight matchup 7-4, but the Vivors came back with a 10-1 bitch slap in week 19, Parizona’s worst loss of the season.
On paper, this one looks pretty lopsided. Parizona’s best hitter in the past month has been rookie Garrett Jones, while veterans like Alex Rodriguez and Jimmy Rollins have struggled to find consistency all season. Upstart rookie starters Mat Latos and Chris Tillman were providing the team with a big lift, but Latos was shut down Saturday night and Tillman clearly looks fatigued. Meanwhile, the Survivors’ Joe Mauer and Evan Longoria are both in the MVP discussion, while the rest of the lineup has been scoring and driving in runs almost as quickly as the Van Jones era came and went. However, among its starters, only Tommy Hanson has truly been excellent as of late, and the Carollas have a superior slate of closers, meaning a brilliant pitching performance by Parizona could be enough to end the champs’ reign.
Prediction: 6-5 Parizona
Paul Gammons, a columnist for PaulGammons.com, says Curt Schilling for senate is a change he can believe in.
Actress Lindsay Lohan wants everyone to know that she loves Alan Ball’s True Blood series on HBO, more so than other celebrities who say they do.
Lohan donned the vampire fangs at Chateau Marmont and tweeted these pictures of herself as a die hard True Blood fan for her twitter family.
This girl is too creative! And if anyone understands the vampiring nature of Los Angeles on Hollywood’s young its Lindsay Lohan. She’s a survivor extraordinaire of the fame game. This girl is no sucker, but the fangs play with the notion that she is.
Alan Ball is probably writing a part for Lohan right now into the script of True Blood: Season 3. She’s got the man’s attention.
Revelations 12 v 11: They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Fierce!
Но после трех дней с половиною вошел в них дух жизни от Бога, и они оба стали на ноги свои; и великий страх напал на тех, которые смотрели на них.
Og eftir dagana þrjá og hálfan fór lífsandi frá Guði í þá, og þeir risu á fætur. Og ótti mikill féll yfir þá, sem sáu þá.
La muerte del Cordero, y el mensaje anunciado, ha sido su derrota. Los nuestros no tuvieron miedo, sino que se dispusieron a morir.
E depois daqueles três dias e meio o espírito de vida, vindo de Deus, entrou neles, e puseram-se sobre seus pés, e caiu grande temor sobre os que os viram.
[Tip of the hat to RF Interference who first informed me of DJ AM'spassing, and in turn, his existence by asking, "Are the pacifier brigade in mourning?" (Or words to that effect.) A further tip of the hat to Tannerleah over at Stop Annoying Me for bringing my annoyance with the past existence of DJ AM bubbling back to the surface.]
The world is suddenly abuzz with news of DJ AM’s overdose. “Who?” some of you are probably asking. “Whom?” others of you are asking, more properly and possibly with a British accent. I asked myself this same question.
As a follower of electronic music and DJs in general, even I hadn’t heard of him. Turns out I was travelling in the wrong circles. DJ AM was known best for his squiring of such luminous figures as Nicole Richie and Mandy Moore. A professional celebrity DJ.
Crazy Town signalled their craziness through various neck movements and refusal to line up single-file. Also, they had a DJ for no apparent reason.
Here’s a little more background on DJ AM:
DJ AM’s (a.k.a. Adam Goldstein) first tenuous claim to 15 minutes came as the “DJ” for “his” “band” Crazy Town, a band as edgy and threatening as a temporary tattoo. You may notice that I have multiple sets of quotation marks in the previous sentence. It’s no mistake. Let’s go ahead and diagram the hell out of it:
“DJ” – Meaning AM was the jackass in the back, fiddling madly with the turntables and mugging for the camera during his allotted 10-20 seconds per music video. His contribution is unknown. Perhaps the “band” felt its street cred would rise above “lunch money donor” on the musical playground. All anyone asked of their DJs is that they stay in the back and shut the fuck up.
“his” – Crazy Town wa no more his band than the Beatles were Pete Best’s. He was one of those added features that several bands of that era (Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit, etc.) deluded themselves into thinking was essential. So they all got a DJ and who’s heard anything from those turntablists recently? But nevertheless, there it was. Have band, need DJ. As de riguer as the loud-quiet-loud dynamic, faux-rapping and the “I’m singing from inside an old-timey radio” vocal effect.
“band” – Crazy Town was a band in the sense that they all played instruments (except DJ AM) under one name as a somewhat cohesive unit. Much like Scary Movie 3is a film, in that it’s shot on film and played on a projector. Still no one’sgoing to confuse it with other films, like The Godfather or even Mobsters.
That’s the backstory.
On August 28th, DJ AM is found dead in his apartment of an apparent “accidental” overdose. The tweet goes out and is soon answered. Here’s a few of the fringe celebrities and would-be rock stars, who were among the first to max out their vocabularies, building deep thoughts out of 140-word sentences: Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Paris Hilton, Perez Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Mandy Moore, John Mayer, Ryan Seacrest, Jordin Sparks, P. Diddy.
Let’s take a peek at some of their incredible eulogies, presumably iPhoned in during a rigorous workout/massage/blowjob:
@johncmayer I really want to use words right now but I can’t get em.
THX, John. I really want to not beat you with your own guitar, but English is hard.
@solangeknowles I hope people don’t taint his legacy…..because there isn’t any concrete proof yet. That guy was a walking miracle.
Wonderful, whoever-the-fuck-you-are. He died of drugs surrounded by drug paraphernalia, so I’m guessing “concrete proof” is just an autopsy away (and there is one). Also, Jesus would like to inform you that miracles seldom include dying, at least not if you can’t shake it off in 3 days. Also, also: an ellipsis is three dots, not however the hell many you want. You’re working with a 140-character limit. Don’t use it all at once.
@BonnieFuller DJ AM DEAD & SO SAD! I wonder if the poor thing was suffering from survivor’s guilt after that terrible plane crash
Awesome. Thanks for the amateur diagnosis, BF. If this is “survivor’s guilt” then get a 24-hour suicide watch up at Travis Barker’s place. He “walked” away from that crash as well, and these things always come in three’s. (Someone find a third person to tie into this. I can’t have my pet theories continually crushed by your speeding Buick LeSabre of logic.)
These are the people whose lives he touched. Presumably. All of them bemoaning the “tragedy” and the “why god why” of a relatively young (36) starfucker cut down in his prime, by his own failure to do correct maths while drugging himself up.
Nowhere in this outpouring of shallowness is there a single twit (they liked to be called this) pointing out that suicide is the selfish chickenshit’s way out. Or that he was only batting .500 against life’s tough pitching, having failed to make a gun do the only thing it’s supposed to do in his first attempt. Or that he died committing a crime* and, therefore, deserves no more eulogizing that the thug who gets killed holding up a liquor store.
*We can debate the stupidity of the Drug War elsewhere, perhaps in the comment thread, but at this point, drug possession and use are illegal. And usually treated more seriously than liquor store holdups.
Unfortunately for DJ AM, the NCAA is posthumously stripping him of this key victory over the odds.
And now they’re going to do an autopsy? What the fuck for? Looks pretty open and shut to me. Lifelong drug abuser dies surrounded by drugs, having used his last moments to use drugs. Previous suicide attempt on the rap sheet.
Why? Can’t be the parents. Apparently, Daddy AM was an abusive asshole who is currently dead. Mommy AM sent him to rehab, so she may have a stake in this.
His friends? God help me, I really want to put the largest set of quotes ever made around that word. Friends. Nothing but a bunch of ready-made has-beens clinging to each other in the hopes that somehow they’ll matter, at least to themselves. The fuck do they care? They’ll move on. Their memories are as short as their careers and as lasting as their talent.
Maybe they’ll start a memorial fund, dropping cocaine-tainted $100’s into a lockbox from some teen rehab facility. Maybe not.
Is someone out there hoping the toxicology report will somehow turn the c-list sinner into a saint? A martyr for the privileged starfucker way of life? That he somehow OD’ed on “life”?
In a (very) brief memoriam, let’s take a look at DJ AM’s contribution to the music world:
Crazy Town – The Gift of Game
DJ AM & Travis Barker – Fix Your Face (Vol. 1)
DJ AM & Travis Barker – Fix Your Face (Vol. 2)
One album with a one-hit wonder and two compilation albums that were apparently released by his label, Street Corner Trunk Sales. No wonder he was beloved by fans of music and DJs alike.
R.I.P. DJ AM. The light that burns half as bright gets extinguished by the slightest breeze.
