watch: lonely island's latest is "go kindergarten"

Don't you worry about SNL not being in season... The Lonely Island don't need no SNL! All they need is a Diddy cameo and Robyn to sing a hook about doing everything they say.

AKA "Indiana Jones and whip your dick out."



LOL WTF! Can I just please be in the room when they're brainstorming on lyrics for these songs?!

I really have no other words for it than that wish.

tunes on tuesday 102709

Woohoo!!! Tunes on Tuesday! This is my 3rd in a row! Are you so excited?! I know I am!


First up--> Chris Brown's new video for I Can Transform Ya



I'm officially excited. I love the video! I was a little worried he'd come back a different artist, but he's totally not! He's got the dance moves, a long dance that I want to teach myself, and looks good! Plus, it's got great effects! I love it. Thank goodness.


Justin Bieber--> Love Me



Oh man... I got very scared when I saw he had another song because they can only mean one thing for radio stations: millions more calls. I actually.... I kinda like this song. Is that bad? I always was a teeny bopper....


Gucci Mane ft. Usher--> Spotlight



I really don't know how I feel about Gucci Mane. He's not my favorite.... But I love Usher. I wish someone else would have done this song instead of Gucci Mane. It has serious potential.


JLS--> Everybody in Love



Another group that I've never heard anything about, but I totally like them. They're British, totally cute, and worth a download. I love guy groups. :)


Dirty Money--> Love Come Down



Ugh... I just don't know how I feel about this trio. It's Diddy, Dawn Richard, and some girl named Kalenna. I feel like it's going to be another FAIL on Diddy's part, which makes me sad for Dawn. She's so good! She's the best part about this song, and maybe the only part I really like.


Mika--> Blame It On The Girls



"Hot new music"?!?! I think not. Someone's gotta be joking, right?!


Joe Nichols--> Gimme That Girl
It's a good song! I like Joe Nichols. It's cute.

Ash Bowers--> Stuck
A lot of people can probably relate to this song... Especially if you feel like you need a change in your life. I enjoy.

Bomshel--> 19 and Crazy
Cute song about exactly what the title says- Being 19 and crazy. College country gals will love it, fo sho.

Bucky Covington--> Gotta Be Somebody
His own cover of Nickelback's song.

Derek Sholl--> When They Come Back
A little emotional, but a great song for parents. Send it to yours and they'll love it if they're anything like mine.

The Band Perry--> Hip to My Heart
It's cute. I don't know if it'll be huge or if they will be, but it's not bad.

Zona Jones--> Day Off
It's a quirky song and I totally love it. Yesyes.


Alright, that's going to do it! Wahoo! Downloading time!

watch: michael jackson tribute song

There's already a Michael Jackson tribute song that a bunch of artists collabo'd on.

The Game, Chris Brown, Diddy, Boys II Men, Polow da Don, and Mario Winans came together to create "Better On The Other Side."



Someone asked me a very interesting and good-point question the other day. When artists do something like this, are they doing it for genuine purposes, or for the money/attention?

Unfortunately, in this case, I think this is all about attention. The Game could use a boost, Chris needs a comeback, Diddy has definitely faded big time as an artist, Boys II Men... Most people don't even know they still release albums, I have no idea who Polow Da Don is, and Mario always needs a little help too.

What do you think?



I hate to say it, but yeah... I think this song is all about the attention and moolah.

Shame on you, boys. Shame on you.

watch: stadium music video

I meant to include this in the TOT last night, but I completely forgot.

It's the latest released video from DAY26. [They've been shooting 4 videos all week, so hopefully they'll be released real soon!] The song: "Stadium Music." I like the song, but the single didn't do too well. [I still don't understand why they're not on Top40 stations... Whatever.]



Wanna know how I feel about it? I think it's terrible. I'm a little embarrassed for them, actually. I could make a video of this quality.

Where is Diddy at?!?! Shouldn't he be the one to go "Oh HELL no we're not using this as the video!" ?? I'm just not a fan of him as a producer at all. I don't know if I'm a fan of him period, really... But he puts together these groups that are amazing, and don't do nearly as well as they could.

I hope the other ones are better, boys...

love,
elizabethany

watch: day26 is funny

Fact: Everything Diddy does.. Or everything anyone with Bad Boy does.. Is an advertisement.

Also a fact: Some of those things are pretty freakin' funny, if you like the Bad Boy people.

Example:



QUE HAS BEEN CURED EVERYONE! NO WORRIES! It's so nice to hear that. [If you're a MTB fan, you know what I mean, and you've probably been worried for a couple weeks or months now.]

These guys are hilarious. Call me crazy fan, call me stalker, whatever. I like them because they actually come off as real people, which makes what they do even funnier.

this week on tv

I didn't get to do a whole lot of updating once Wednesday hit, and I am VERY sorry about it! Unfortunately for this blog, I was uber busy starting Wednesday morning, and didn't get to write about everything I wanted to.

But, People is helping me out a little with their list of TV's 5 Most Buzzed-About Moments for this week, and I will share them with you!

1. The judges save Matt Giraud.

Yes, if you were wondering, I am VERY upset they saved him. I think it was a stupid move on the judges part, but there's nothing anyone can do about it now. Hopefully no one important goes home this week.


2. Jamie Foxx apologizes to Miley Cyrus



He's so right! He was just being funny! I love his reaction in the beginning when it's first brought up though. And it's obvious that he feels pretty bad 'cuz he's not letting it go.


3. Tori Spelling vs. Chelsea Handler on the A-List Awards.




Chelsea has every right to say she looks like a man all the time! I mean.. Uhh... This is good, though! It's good of Tori to get a few good laughs about it all.


4. One name: Susan Boyle



She definitely got them, and everyone. This is so amazing to watch. I get goosebumps every time the whole way through. No wonder she's taking the world by storm.


5. Kathie Lee gets Zac Efron



This is stupid, actually. I don't know why people are making any type of big deal about it, but whatever. So she kinda scared him for playing her son on SNL. WHO CARES?!


So, you're caught up, kinda. Ashton and Diddy also talked to Larry King about Twitter, which was definitely talked about quite a bit... In Twitterland, at least.



It's so funny hearing everyone talk about it so much, but I like it! [Follow me--> @luvelizabethany !!]

elizabethany

caught: diddy's a bad producer

As a producer, you should probably know the title of your artists' CD's.. Correct?

I've always said Diddy wasn't managin' his artists for their best interest, and this is just another way of showing it. All day he's been trying to help promote Day26's album [That YES, I DID buy on the release day!!!] all over Twitter, but I noticed he hasn't said the title of the album right once.

He's been calling it "Forever and a Day" the whole time. The real title: Forever IN a Day.


I replied to him asking why he was calling it that, no reply, obviously. I don't think anyone else has caught it, though.

Hmmm... Boys.. I think you need to sit your little bossman down and explain to him what the title is. It might help ya out a bit when people are searching for your album, songs, etc online.

love,
elizabethany

day26 goes to the beach

DAY26 has released their new video for "Imma Put It On Her!!!" YESSS!!



I'm just so mad that Diddy is in this song. Ciroc is EVERYWHERE it's practically a straight advertisement rather than a music video, and his verse is just terrible. It should have been just Joc and them.

I'm a little confused why they're on the beach, too.. But, whatever. They are so freakin' sexy and great, it doesn't matter.

Also, I have a really good feeling about this single. I think it could definitely get some airtime. Hopefully! Keep your fingers crossed, people!!

love,
elizabethany

april fool's!

Diddy is trying to trick people on Twitter with it being April Fool's Day and all... 

"Breaking news!!: Its official I'm engaged to my high school sweatheart Robin Jackson!!! Wanted yall to be the 1st to know! I'm happy. Thanks."

I'm not going to lie, I fell for it for a second. Then my classmate got fooled right next to me. Duh.

Nice try though, Diddy.

tunes on tuesday 033109

Happy Tunes on Tuesday!!

This week I'm going to do a major focus on songs that are rumored to be on the edge of hitting the radio market BIG TIME. Basically, you might be hearing a lot of them. So might as well learn 'em now if you haven't yet, right!?


David Cook--> Come Back To Me

Love it, duh. I love him. [Hence the interview.. Check it out if you haven't yet.] When he performed it, I think I was a little unsure. The words are good, the sound is good, and it's not too Idol OR too Daughtry. Nice.


Kanye West ft. Mr. Hudson--> Paranoid

Hmmm. I'm not a fan. Not surprising either, though. I'm not a huge Kanye fan lately. Let me know what you think, though. Maybe you can sell me.


Pink--> Please Don't Leave Me

I've definitely already posted this, but it's good. So listen. Now.


Family Force 5--> How In The World

Never heard of these people or this song. I don't think it's anything amazing. I'm not sure what the "special" is in it. Hmm, I guess we'll see how it does.


Pitbull--> I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)

Ohh, good dancing song. You'll definitely be getting down to this. I've heard it a couple of times, but I do think we'll be hearing a lot more of it.


Brooke Hogan ft. Stack$--> Falling



Another Brooke Hogan song? Interesting. Stack$ is definitely her ex, too. I like his raps in here, they're clever. A lot of name dropping. Her voice sounds pretty. I'm not sure I will hear it playing on the radio a WHOLE lot, but I could be wrong.


Lovesick Radio--> Boy's Don't Matter



I do like this kind of music when I'm in the mood for it, and I think I like this one. They remind me of someone... I don't know who? Maybe everyone? Or maybe I've just heard this song but never really listened. Who knows.


Paula DeAnda--> Roll the Credits

I love it. The lyrics are totally cute, but a little sad. Clever may be the word. And Paula's a great singer! I dig it.


Kelly Clarkson--> I Do Not Hook Up

She's still got it, my friends. I totally enjoy this song. Yay!


DAY26 ft. Yung Joc and Diddy--> Imma Put It On Her

Of course Diddy is going to jump on their single. Ugh. Didn't he see that he ruined Donnie by doing that?!? I hope this isn't the version they use for radio, but who knows. I still love DAY26 [But I'm gonna slap Que if he keeps effin' up the group...] so its a definite that I love this song. I just want Diddy out of it. Now.


Kenny Chesney--> Out Last Night

YES!!!! A country drinking song! Holy h I LOVE IT! Every bit of it. Yesyesyes!


Jack Ingram--> Barefoot and Crazy

As much as I hate to admit that summer is coming, it is. So, might as well get ready for the awesome summertime country songs! This is a good one! Sweet deal!


Alright, that's all I got for this week! I hope you enjoyed or else it might be a no-fun couple of months listening to these on the radio!

love,
elizabethany

chrianna update

It seems like every five minutes there's something else going on with Chris Brown and Rihanna, even though the incident happened over a month ago.

Here is a little wrap-up of the latest.

• The texting bandit is out. AKA the woman that Chris was texting when Rihanna flipped out and the fight started. It was his manager. And no, they're not in any type of relationship. Not even close.
• The couple has been in the studio recording a single together. What do they have to lose?
• Diddy opened up his house for Chris and RiRi to come in and talk to each other... But as he told Ellen today, he was not involved or judging either of them. He was just helping two of his friends come together and talk about an issue during dark times.
• Chris has been up on his MySpace blog asking people to keep voting for him for the Kids' Choice Awards, in which he's still in the lead. However, that doesn't mean he'll be in attendance at the ceremony.
  

So, they're doin' good, I guess. It's all still very, VERY crazy, though. And this is the first time I've heard Ellen bring it up. She's obviously bothered. And.. For once... I agree with Diddy 100%. Is that weird? I think so. For once, I'm telling you to listen to this guy.

So, let's pray for them! I hope everything gets thrown away or whatever soon.

love,
elizabethany

tomorrow!

Okay, so I planned on doing a whole countdown, and it just didn't happen. But.. TOMORROW is the PREMIERE of MAKING THE BAND'S NEW SEASON!!!

Aubrey, D. Woods, and Shannon are probably out of Danity Kane. Donnie hasn't really had a big hit. Day26 is looking at a couple of issues within the group, but trying to keep it together. Oh and also, they have a new single officially out called "Stadium Music."

Imagine that.. Another BANGIN' song from them! They're amazing and deserve way more credit. Period.

But ANYWAYS.. Can they keep it together? Can Diddy help out Donnie instead of always focusing on himself? What will happen with DK?!

We'll begin to find all of it out tomorrow, and I can not wait!!

love,
elizabethany

here comes another countdown

When I get pumped about things that I think you need to get pumped about as well, I make countdowns.

The latest countdown: The premiere of the new season of Making the Band 4. [AKA MTB4.]

Danity Kane is down to 2. No one has heard anything from Donnie besides on the show. And the guys are struggling to keep it together.



I'm SUPER worried they won't be able to stop fighting, and Diddy will do that snap of the fingers and kick some people out.

Also, Willie and Que were always the two that held everyone together. They are the mature ones. The ones who seemed like brothers from day 1. If they can't keep it together, I'm REALLY worried.

Anyways, get pumped! It's time to find out if Diddy can REALLY keep a group together or not!!! [Yes, it lies in his hands. He's just got to give them a chance and not give up on 'em. And... they need to be produced and promoted better. Period.]

13 days!!!!! February 12th baybays, mark your calendars!!!

love,
elizabethany

money well spent?

Diddy is at it again.

This time, he's admitting that it IS a publicity stunt and marketing etc.. What he always does.

Via his video blog, he's declaring that he offered NYC and the mayor 1 million$. He says they can do whatever they want with the money, he doesn't care.

However, there is one thing he wants out of the donation. The ball that drops during the New Years Eve countdown in Times Square, must be blue. Ya know, for his vodka Ciroc.

Also, if you're going to be celebrating the new year in NYC, he says to look out for his Ciroc Street Team. Apparently they're going to be out and about looking to help everyone. Interesting.



I don't think this is AS obnoxious as a lot of things he does. I just am not sure how it would work. I think this little blog video will gain a lot more publicity than the fact that the ball is blue because of his vodka. [If they change it.. that is.]

Also, who thinks of blue when they think his vodka?! Or, rather, who thinks Ciroc vodka every time they see the color blue? I just don't think I'd put the two and two together. I'd probably say "Oh that's nice.. It's blue for Obama!" But maybe that's just me.

And one more thing.. If he's so serious about the color, most especially blue.. Why is the entire commercial in black and white? That's not helping anyone identify the color relation.. Just sayin.

I wonder if he even really offered it? Maybe he is just getting publicity through this blog. Who knows. He certainly got me talking about it all crazy. Ugh.

love,
elizabethany

farewell

So, TRL is officially over, and this is my official farewell. [Well, maybe more like a write up about last night's show.. But whatever :)]

It opened up with Beyonce, which, contrary to what I would normally say, she did pretty good. Not that she's a bad performer and I would expect her to do BAD... But she opened up with "If I Were a Boy," which is one of two songs that I really like from her. She moved on to "Single Ladies" and "Check On It," which are basically the same song in my book, and she did her usual dancing.. No big surprise.

On top of it though, she looked REALLY good. She straightened her hair and didn't wear crazy makeup or a ridiculous outfit.. She looked natural, which is when she looks best, I think.

Check it out-->

It was amazing seeing all of the VJs come back. I haven't watched the show religiously, well, ever, but I think I have seen at least one episode with each of them. And I'm mostly glad that Carson Daly was the main host, and Damien, because he obviously has the greatest connection with the show. And even though Diddy says HE'S the king of TRL, we all know Carson is really that guy. Diddy can be prince.. maybe.

They had Taylor Swift going around with the TRL Yearbook. They were playing up the fact that she's just out of high school, and had her go around all night getting all of the stars to sign it. Cute idea, I must admit.

Miley Cyrus was busy in the photo booth all night.. Which is probably a good thing. She was just trying to mock/outdo everyone else's pictures from over the years. Now let's watch and see them leak on her Myspace.. Maybe they weren't what we thought.

Fall Out Boy minus Pete Wentz? It happened. And, it was good but, how do you have a group perform who is CURRENTLY so huge, missing the main guy?!

NSYNC shows up minus 3 members. Hmm. AKA only Justin and JC showed up. They're also the only ones remotely involved with MTV these days. It was great to see them but man, it's clear the chemistry is gone, and I don't think we'll be seeing any sort of a reunion from them. :( In the meantime, all we have is this sweet video from back in the day. It's amazing-ness.



I already touched on BSB, so scroll down. ;)

When Carson called Eminem, it may have been the most awkward interview I have witnessed in a while. Either Eminem wasn't exactly understanding Carson, or he just did not want to do it at all. He wouldn't answer many questions, and I'm pretty sure he said he was DISAPPOINTED in his HUGE crowd when he visited the set in 2002. He wouldn't even say what his inspiration for his longggg awaited album was. Way to go, dummy.

Nelly, Ludacris and Snoop Dogg did a "legendary" performance. I was expecting something a little more from the way they were talking about it throughout the night, but it was a solid performance from all 3.



Diddy "broke the record" of most appearances on the show.. Imagine that. The guy works right across the street, and shows up whenever he feels like it. Last night was his 38th, and final appearance. How ever will he promote albums now?!

Side/quick note: They showed a clip of a Britney performance, where Justin says "OMG I REQUESTED BRITNEY BECAUSE I WANT TO DATE HER ONE DAY!"

Apparently a while back, Heidi Montag rapped for Nelly.. Now he got his chance to give his REAL reaction.



The point of the show was to countdown the most influential songs to TRL. Britney, of course, was #1 [even though she "couldn't make it" on the show] with Eminem at #2. Hey Ya, Bawitdaba, Yeah, Bye Bye Bye and more by people like Christina and BSB were on the list, too!

And finally, they all toasted to TRL and said their goodbyes.. While Snoop and Kid Rock passed a blunt back and forth.. Hilarious. It was emotional for anyone who has ever liked the show. You could tell they really didn't know how to end it. Then, Carson said "Why are we ending this show?"



Honestly Carson, as much as I DON'T watch it on the regular, I have no idea either. And neither do any of the artists. It's a shame, and you HAVE to admit it whether you still tune in or not.

Farewell, Total Request Live. You will be missed.
Total Finale Live-- Good show. Mad props.

love,
elizabethany

powerful.

Happy Thursday!

Today I bring to you, in honor of Election Week,

The Top 10 Super Celebrities
[All those who are mighty powerful in influencing, helping, and giving to others.]

10th: Diddy
Okay, I know what most of you are thinking. Diddy? Really? Well, yes, really. I know he's a cocky you know what, but he does have a LOT of power when it comes to influencing people, whether we like it or admit it or not. He's also very involved (thought it may be an annoying involved, he's still involved) in the elections, getting people to vote, and keeping young people off the streets in bad areas. He does things in crazy, off the wall ways.. but it works. And though I don't have an amount of money he dishes to others on the regular, he is still all over the internet telling you to vote. And buy Bad Boy albums.. :-P

9th: Madonna

One word: Kabbalah. Yea, I know, she hasn't exactly convinced a lot of us normal people to get into this, but a whole lot of celebrities are following in her footsteps. But don't worry, that's not the only reason I put her on this list. She has helped over 250,000 kids in Malawi by funding 7 orphanages across the country. She even adopted one. Plus! She's Madonna. That's enough for super-celebrityism.


8th: George Clooney
He's a member of the United Way, co-founder of Not On Our Watch (which helps Darfur), and is a UN Messenger of Peace. Need I say more? He has dedicated himself to helping to solve the situation in Darfur. Plus, he does little things here and there. He helps others. He donated thousands during the Writers' Strike last year. If that's not giving enough, you can always look at his appearance, and how he could probably sway any female's opinions. :-P And.. if you are able to make Ellen dedicate a whole season of her show to getting YOU on it.. I'd have to say you're something special.

7th: Michael Jordan

Probably someone you're not expecting to see on such a list these days, figuring he hasn't been around much lately, or so we think. He's actually very involved with helping out charities like Boys and Girls Clubs Across America and the Special Olympics. So involved, that he donates over $5 million a year! Not to mention he's still one of the best basketball players of all time.. Or so we recognize him as. When we see him in advertisements etc., people get excited. Oh and do I need to mention his shoes and how many people have them?! He's never going to be forgotten, and he's still helping out.. Long after retirement.


6th: Lance Armstrong

All I should have to say is "yellow LiveStrong bracelets" and you should get it. They were a HUGE trend when they first came out, and they're still making money. They have raised over $60 million for his foundation! I feel like he's one of those silent influencers. He's not in your face like lets say.. Diddy.. But he's out there. He's a tremendous athlete who's helping people, and EVERYONE likes him. Seriously. Could you possibly say you don't like him? Doubtful.

5th: Bono

This guy was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize!! Seriously, he's amazing. He's out to support helping the nations in Africa by providing them with debt relief. He's trying to get help for those with HIV/AIDS and stop it from spreading. He was even Time Magazine's Person of the Year once. And again, he's not in your face.. But I'm sure it's no surprise to you that he's a great person.


4th: Ellen DeGeneres
I've said it before, but she doesn't get enough credit for the things she does. Ellen is constantly raising money on her show for different causes. For example- on every show last month, she dunked someone, which raised 10,000$ for her breast cancer foundation, Ellen for the Cure. This is only ONE example of things she does to help. She also is [obviously] very outspoken for equal rights for all, most especially homosexual couples. Her push to vote no on Proposition 8 was huge, and though unfortunately it failed, she had others believing in it, as well as fellow celebs pitching in to help out, too. She does what she does for other people, not herself.. And just wants you to Laugh, Dance, and Vote/Cure.

3rd: Angelina Jolie

No big surprise here, I'm sure. The lady is the Goodwill Ambassador for the UN, not to mention the mom of like 32987 kids, 32985 of them adopted from foreign countries. In the past year, her and Brad Pitt have donated over $8 million to their foundation, which helps out various charities. She's always overseas visiting children in need, donating money here and there, and helping out wherever she can. Not to mention she's one of the "hottest" celebrities out there right now.. She can reel in anyone. She might as well run for President.............


Tie for 1st: Barack Obama
Here is why he can't stand alone in first place-- Though he is CLEARLY the most influential person in America right now, he is going to be the President of this country.. And it's halfway weird to call him a celebrity, even though he is. But he has been able to bring this country together (well, most of us) in a way that has never been done for our generation. He has gotten younger people involved in politics and wanting to save this country from further disaster. He has begun another chapter in taking equality to an even further step down the road. He single-handedly (again, kinda single-handedly.. I'm sure he had some help :-P) created a day that will FOREVER go down in history and shown people that anything is possible. He has done it by promoting hope and yes... He DID it.

Tie for 1st: Oprah Winfrey

This is a given. The woman donates over 50 million$ a year to SEVERAL charities. She's the face of "talk-show host." She has her own magazine. She helps people achieve their wildest dreams. She gives and gives and gives. (She certainly has the money for it, though! Don't worry!) People listen to her. They do what she tells them to do. She picks out books she thinks are good, and people buy them. She says to support a cause or believe in something, and people do it. She's been around for forever fighting racial problems and more.. And she's not stopping any time soon.


There ya have it! As always, feel free to let me know how you feel about it all!

Thanks to all of you SUPER Celebs for making this world a better place :)

love,
elizabethany

just watch

Even if you're sick of the election, or sick of Diddy, it's okay, you can watch this video.

It's of him casting his vote.. But something about it is pretty funny.

Check out his face when he's in line at the very beginning. I can't quite figure out what the look is, but it's hilarious either way.

And what is this YAAAAA! he screams at the end?! Unnecessary, Diddy. Yet, I wouldn't expect anything less.



Oh man. You are somethin else, Diddy. A character, for sure.

love,
elizabethany

barbie and ken lovers

You know those couples that make you SO jealous and make you believe that love is real and it can happen to you? [Or the ones that completely break your heart and your hope for love when they break up..] I have the Top 10 list of them, and an Honorable Mention.

I call them--> my Barbies and Kens:


Honorable Mention: Sean Puffy Puff Daddy P Diddy Diddy Combs and Jennifer J.Lo Lopez -- 1998-2001
Okay so, in hindsight, this probably wasn't a good relationship.. But ya gotta admit that at the time, they were one of the hottest couples around. Their looks matched, and I think individually, this was the high points of their careers. J.Lo was still Jennifer.. Jenny from the Block, if you will, and bangin' out awesome songs. Diddy.. or Puff Daddy, wasn't the cocky SOB that he is today.. Well, not as bad, anyways. How I miss those days..

Ashton Kutcher && Demi Moore -- 2003- still goin strong

As much as I am kind of weirded out by the age difference in the two, they are a damn good couple. The fact that they can be married and happy and cute, while still getting together with Demi's ex Bruce Willis is amazing to me. (And weird kinda.. But cool.) It seems like they're always going to be in that puppy love stage.. life, forever.

Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson -- 1997-2005
Okay, okay.. So it's either cliche, or stupid of me to include them.. But I'm sorry, when they were together, they were PERFECT! Or so it seemed, anyways. She could definitely be herself with him, and he seemed to love every second of it. It provided good entertainment and definitely made me want to be a Newlywed. ;)

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams -- 2004- now.. kinda.

Any female is going to agree with me here.. Or any guy who likes The Notebook. The two met while filming the most amazing love story of a movie ever, and then fell in love off-screen too! They have been off and on a little bit, but that doesn't even matter. When we see them kiss, it's like our wildest dreams of a "Notebook story" coming true. Plus, as of now, they're totally together! They're always having fun and being goofy and touching each other. It's real. I know it. Fairy tales can come true.

Que Mosley and Dawn Richard -- 2008- puppy love
If you're one of my MTB lovers, all I have to say is: silver slippers. If not, they are the perfect definition of puppy love right now.. And I think it's going to last.. At least for a little while. Que is absolutely in love with the girl, saying he's going to marry her, etc. It all started with her refusing to give him a chance, but when she did, she fell hard, too. She still doesn't love showing her affection to everyone, but it's obvious it's there.. And he makes her losen up quite a bit. They're precious.

Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears -- 1998-2002
Call me typical or whatever you want, but these two were the epitome of a great couple during the pop era. Everything about them matched. Plus, they had the fairytale story of growing up together in the public eye and hitting the big time together the whole way. They were always having fun, laughing, and keeping each other sane. They both admit to this day that the breakup was one of the hardest times of their lives. And really, if you don't believe me on this being a great example of Barbie and Ken, google image them. They're amazing together and every day I hope it'll happen again. :)

Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon -- 1997-2006

After Jen and Brad broke up, I had given up on love. When I started to believe in it again, it was because of these two. They seemed to place NOTHING above their marriage and kids.. Until the split. When I once again realized love isn't real. Everything matched with them. They were like a puzzle that fit together without any force.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill -- 1996- still very in love
These two know how to do it right in Hollywood. Or Nashville.. wherever they may be. They both have hugely successful country music careers, yet they make time for each other and their family. They have even set rules on how long they can go without seeing each other, and it's not a very long time. Still, they go tour on their own, and make special appearances at each others shows when they can.. AND record tons of singles together. If this marriage were to ever fail, that's it. I'd be done with relationships. I'd give up. I need them together forever. And they will be.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston -- 1998-2005

When you think of perfect couples, TELL ME you think of these two. I don't care if you on stupid Angelina's side, THESE TWO represented perfection. When they broke up, I gave up on love.. no joke. Their looks matched, their body languge.. everything. And if you can honestly look at pictures of them, and then compare to pictures of Brad and Angelina, and tell me that he's happier now.. You're lying to yourself. Period.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi -- 2004- just married!

So this example may not technically have a "Ken".. but they definitely represent a perfect couple. They just got married over the summer once it was finally legal, and it's so obvious that they couldn't be happier. They're both equally as infatuated with each other. Beyond all of that, they're opening the nation's eyes to show that homosexuality is no big deal.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith -- 1996- forever.

These two are the definition of real love. They're not in the relationship just to be in the public eye, there's not one that thinks they are better than the other.. They are in it for each other and their beautiful family. They are ALL VERY talented, but they don't flaunt it. I have no doubt in my mind that even if neither of them were famous, they would still be together. They're soulmates. A couple we'll remember AND SEE forever. They're legends.

Ahh, I love reliving the past with relationships, and seeing people all happy and lovey together. It's cute. :)

Congrats and good luck to those couples still together.. for those who we've "lost"... I will always have hope for a reunion.. ;)

As always, let me know what you think! :)

show must go on

Have no fear, MTB fans... Diddy announced that there will be "bonus" episodes coming in the beginning of 2009.

Surprise surprise.

I think everyone kinda figured the series wouldn't die with a comment about Obama. Diddy's "better" than that.

EVP Series Development & Programming at MTV, Tony DiSanto, said "there is so much more story to tell, amazing music and great drama to come. With Diddy you never quite know exactly what's next…But it's pretty certain you won't be able to take your eyes off!"

Well, for us fans, you're right. But there's a lot of people sick of it all at this point.

Also, for those of you who are wondering if it's real, Entertainment Weekly has an interview with Shannon.. It's real, ya'll.

I just hope the bonus episodes show them working this all out, and not falling apart for good.

And I hope there's plenty of action for my boy Brian.. and all of Day26. ;)

Let's make it happen, Diddy.

love,
elizabethany
