John Mayer; Please Shut Up!

I just don't get it. I have blogged about him before. I don't understand the attraction. John Mayer is an egotistical moron who does not know when to keep his mouth shut. The latest, of course, is the Playboy interview with Mr. Mayer as he once again throws all his ex-girlfriends under the bus and talks about them in detail. Didn't your mama teach you not to kiss and tell? If this was not enough, he also takes it upon himself to use the n word (along with other choice words). Who do you think you are? Shut up! Stop talking, stop tweeting, in general stop corresponding...

Full story here.

I am getting there....

As you all know I am, in fact, a celebrity ho. I love the magazines, the shows and I covet the shoes, handbags and clothes worn by celebrities. Imagine my surprise, when I was watching Cougartown the other night and I noticed a handbag that looked vaguely like the one I just bought. It was a Michael Kors (hello Project Runway fans) bag that I got on sale at Nordstrom a few months ago. Anyway, Ellie (the best friend to Courtney Cox's character on Cougartown) was carrying the bag in the most recent episode. I looked it up. Its my bag! I have arrived people. I have the same bag that was on a hit show. It has a designer label. Next thing you know paparazzi will be at my door photographing me with my bag and telling everyone how much I paid. OK I am getting ahead of myself. Here is the scene from Cougartown.

And here is the bag.


How cool am I? Just saying...

The Super Bowl - Best of the Rest...

As most of you know I love football (with a passion) and watch the big game with bated breath. Tonight I was pulling for the Saints...and to watch them pull out a win was amazing. Congrats to Drew Brees and Reggie Bush (my favorite) and the rest of the team from New Orleans. There are parties everywhere in New Orleans tonight (legendary ones).

With that said, here are my other favorite things that stood out tonight and made the game worth watching.

• The Best Commercial - I will get plenty of flack for this because the Bud Light commercials were cute but the Google commercial (Paris, chocolates to crib) was by far my favorite. Simple, easy and a great representation of the product. Well done!

• Best Play on the Field - The on-side kick by the Saints to start the 2nd half. No one expected it (especially the Colts) and it led to a score by the Saints. Its the Super Bowl, you gotta pull out all the stops; and they did.
  

• Best Moment that made me Smile - You all know how I feel about How I Met your Mother. To see Barney Stinson (aka NPH) in the stands with a phone number (which was real) just made me laugh. Called the number. I now have a date with Barney.
  

• Best Hoopla over Nothing - The Tim Tebow commercials were a non issue (in my opinion). It was short and no one paid any attention to it. Even those of us who are pro-choice blinked and missed it. Glad we fought over that one (sarcasm abounds). The only problem; did the hoopla make people want to know more?
  

• Best National Anthem - Obviously Carrie Underwood (the only one to sing it) but I wanted to give her props. The anthem was sung well and the country star looked great. Even the over-the-top shoes seemed to fit. Well done!

• Best Game-Changing moment - the late interception by Tracy Porter (Saints) to give the Saints the final score to put the game away. Exciting moment of course but also you (I) could only imagine what New Orleans was doing at that moment.
  

• Best Quarterback who did not win - Of course Peyton Manning is phenomenal. I adore him and although I was pulling for the Saints, it was difficult to pull against Manning. I love a man that can be goofy and laugh at himself. Plus Peyton Manning is a true, dedicated player. Wonderful season Mr. Manning. No one comes close.

I am sure I missed aplenty. Let me know what you thought of the game (and the commercials). Was it all that you had hoped?

I Love Modern Family....

Below is a list of quotes from Wednesday night's episode of Modern Family (full story on EW.com). I don't know if you are watching but this show is absolutely hilarious and has me laughing long after the show is over. I assume you know the premise...Dad with a new Colombian trophy wife, son and partner with a new baby, and daughter, husband and three kids. I don't know why the show works but it does and if you are not watching yet, you must. Last night when straight Dad and gay partner of son played racquetball hilarity ensued in the locker room. The picture above shows what Cam (the gay one) calls a "moon landing" (two naked man butts touching). I am still laughing (oh and by the way if you are wet it is called a "splashdown"). Does anyone else watch?

“Luke, that is very offensive to women. Your mom works very hard, just now she works for us.” -Phil to Luke

Best Mitchell and Cam exchange:

“My dream for him is that one day, he’ll be on the Supreme Court.” – Cam about Mitchell’s lawyering skills
“Why Cam?” -Mitchell (just waiting for the punchline)
“So at parties I can tell people my partner is one of the Supremes.” -Cam

Jay’s best (if slightly offensive) quip of the night: “Part of going to the gym is the locker room atmosphere, and if I’m there with a gay guy, it’s just not gonna be the same. I mean for me it’s a locker room, for him it’s a showroom.” -Jay on going to the gym with Cam

“Some people call me a salesman, I call myself a salesfriend, so obviously I need strangers to trust me. I don’t take it kindly when someone Tom Sellecks my bus bench.” -Phil after discovering that someone drew a mustache on his face on his bus bench ad. Love that he turned Tom Selleck into a verb!

“Just test driving my new soup strainer.” -Phil about his wannabe-Tom Selleck mustache

“Once an old lady yelled at her at a crosswalk—she honked so long the horn ran out.” -Manny about Gloria’s bad driving and her inability to take criticism. How fabulous is Manny by the way?

“Oh sure, when you’re gay you just walk around giving butt bumps to everybody. It’s like a high-five — it’s a low two.” –Cam after Jay says that their butt bump helped Cam’s racquetball game.

And finally, the always-critical parenting lesson of the evening:
“You know how in a fairy tale there’s always a potion that makes the princess fall asleep and then the guys start kissing her? Well, this is like that except you don’t wake up in a castle — you wake up in a frat house with a bad reputation.” Phil’s response to Alex when she asks what Jägermeister is. See, we’re all learning things!

When will the 15 minutes end?

I was ironing tonight (I know I am a good wife) and had the television on to pass the time. While watching Entertainment Tonight I was outraged (OK maybe not outraged but miffed) by the story that the show was doing on Levi Johnston. The man/boy is trying so hard to be a good father and get more time with his son, so he has the ET cameras follow him around for the 6 hours a week that he has him. In fact, shock of all shocks, he shows ET how he changes his son's diapers and plays with him. Wow that is fascinating (are you detecting my sarcasm at all)! Please let this man/boy go away. Stop putting him on television, please. No doubt he is thankful that he has become a member of the "lucky sperm" club so that he can use his son to become famous. But if we stop catering to the bullshit maybe he will disappear. As I have stated in the past, I am not a Palin fan (never have been). You have to admit that at least she and her daughter have not used the child as a tool for publicity. Ranting finished. Thanks for listening.

Glee - The Soundtrack

For those of you (like myself) that are missing Glee and want the show to come back soon, go get the soundtracks (Volume 1 and 2). I sing along to every song (and my God I am a great singer in my own mind) and love the mixes of the songs. So much fun! You should see me exercise while rocking out. I am so cool!

Oscar Nominations - Thoughts?

This morning the Oscar nominations were announced (full list here). I will not go into all of the nominations because I have not seen all the movies but here are my thoughts on some of the buzz...

• Isn't it funny that Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) was nominated when her other big role this year was Bella's best friend from Twilight?
  

• How about Sandra Bullock? Some say that she does not deserve an award but for someone who has entertained us all for so many years, I believe that she is deserving of some recognition.
  

• Many people are not fans of the animated movie Up (Best Picture nominee). I personally loved the movie. A little deep in the beginning for the kids; it made everyone's "bucket list" take on a whole new meaning.

• I could not get through The Hurt Locker. Most loved the movie, and the critics think that it is phenomenal, just not for me.
  

• Is it possible that Mo'Nique is going to be an Oscar winner? What a world we live in!

• I am so not a James Cameron fan. Even in the height of Titanic (which I loved, don't lie you did too) I never liked the man himself.
  

These are just my initial thoughts. I am sure that in the next month I will have more (or maybe not you never know). Anyway, let me know what you think about the nominations. Are there any movies that I must see before the big night? And were there any great disappointments?
