if famous pop culture moments happened in the 90s

It's about damn time I get back into sharing all things 90s! What better day than Throwback Thursday?!

What if some of the biggest pop culture icons/happenings/etc happened in the 90s? Well... Cracked illustrated it for us and some of them are perfection.

Angry Birds, meet awesome Nokia brick phone.

"Baby got ASS!" Featuring Kim K's ass, of course. 

Because everything we loved had to become clear for a little while.

This is why we didn't try such holograms back then.

The hair! The font! The colors! This is perfect. 

Anything that I know of as high quality or 3D DEFINITELY included a lot of red and blue, and some special glasses.

Now these outfits are right.

I imagine this would have been extremely thick and heavy, as well... with plenty of space for floppy disks. 

Accurate casting.

And last but not least....

I've never seen anything make this moment as funny as this picture! the hair! LOL YES.

I seriously laughed out loud at so many of those. So great.

watch: corey gets revenge on me

This is about to become an epic war....

Remember when Corey so rudely left his phone right in front of me [it's torture not to look through it!] and I posted the hilarious pictures of him "Biebering?!" Well.... he got me back.

A studio FULL of Taylor Swift pictures. EVERYWHERE. I've never walked into a studio with worse energy.

Seriously, I was shaking... for like an hour. Everywhere I looked there were more, I was late for my show.. SHE'S THE WORST!

Ugh. Now I gotta come up with something to ruin his show... or something to make him rage like that. He's hard to piss off, though... I'll accept any and all ideas you have.

Game on, Corey. GAME. ON.

love,
elizabethany

PS: Once I did get my show under control, I came up with a new game I call "Dared or Scared." Someone calls in with a dare, and we give that to the second caller. If they complete the dare, they win. If they don't, the other person wins! Homegirl was dared to say things while someone else's toes were in her mouth. BARFTASTIC.

Seeing people post videos/pics/tweets/whatever about listening to the radio or even cooler- being on it, is the coolest thing for us. People should do it more often. :)

on the racks: entertainment weekly's entertainer of the year must be a joke

TweetIt’s that time of the year again when all the lists of “best ___ of the year” are revealed. Today Entertainment Weekly revealed their Entertainer of the Year… and it made me vomit.

Taylor freaking Swift. Is this a joke?! I still can’t seem to find the “entertaining” factor in her life this year. The coolest thing she’s done is date Jake Gyllenhaal. [And okay, maybe the lyrics for “Dear John” are kinda funny too.]

I don’t know that I can come up with who I think should be the Entertainer of the Year because my brain isn’t functioning right now, but I can tell you that I’d pick most if not all of the “runner ups” over her.

• James Franco
• Jane Lynch
• Rico Rodriguez [!!!!]
• Katy Perry
• Kanye West
• Ben Affleck
• Jon Hamm
• Will Smith’s kids

Those are just some of them that they’re telling us before tomorrow’s issue hits newsstands.

I really hope there are some better people in there. I love that Will Smith’s kids are in it. Jane Lynch is representing Glee so that’s good. Obviously I LOVE Rico on the list and with his own cover. I KNOW HIM! But you’d assume Lady Gaga or some country stars would be there, but maybe they’re just incognito right now.

I’ll update you with the full list tomorrow, but in the meantime I will sulk and give the computer my angry eye and pretend to not be interested in this issue at all… and look forward to the day when people are like “holy S, this chic blows!”

watch: taylor swift is way too repetitive and predictable

Tweet By now you should know my severe annoyance with Taylor Swift. She's haunting me. She's everywhere. And it's making me miserable.

And thanks to it being International Tolerance Day, I've had to put up with her without complaining.

The good thing about my blog: I make the rules here, and I'll do what I want.. and that's complain about T-Swift.

It's a big fat DUH that every one of her songs is the exact same, along with the epic FAIL that gets tagged onto all of her live award show performances... But have you noticed that every time homegirl receives an award, she says and does the exact same thing?!



Seriously, chic... We all know when you're going to win, and you do too. Stop pretending. Stop wearing your hair the same way each time. Stop dropping your rat mouth and freaking out like you're still a new, 16 year old singer.

/rant. [Insert sarcastic but nice statement here.]

taylor and kanye mash-up: innocent d-bag

Tweet I gotta thank fellow TJ @imJmi for this because it's amazing.

Imagine if Taylor Swift and Kanye really did collabo on the VMA's. Can you see it?

Well, chances are it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as this cover of the two together:



It's amazing how much better of a song it becomes when T Swift isn't singing it, huh?! I love it.

what i think about the 2010 vma's because you care

Tweet I didn't get to watch it on time because of the game, so now I'm a little behind in getting a write-up on here.

I'm going to make this as short and sweet as possible.

First of all- What I think about the fashion and looks on the carpet... Via slideshow/captions:




And now- What I think about the show.

Gabi as the MTV TJ: A lot of people have been asking me what I thought about what she did. You want my honest opinion? Okay, fine. I think she looked amazing, and I think she handled herself well. She was assigned the job of tracking tweets and what everyone was talking about. It wasn't a HUGE role in the show, but for a first gig on MTV, one month after she got hired... I'd say she had the ultimate position and did a damn good job. Sure, I wish I was there... but homegirl is rockin' it, and if anyone deserved that position after a lot of hard work and sacrifices, it's her.

Chelsea Handler as a host: I think someone wrote some pretty corny lines for her, but overall, if you get her humor, she was pretty good! She wasn't as epic as I thought she'd be, but she wasn't anywhere near as bad as some are saying. I wouldn't mind her being the host again. Plus- she looked beautiful. Her skit with Jersey Shore- Lame. With Lindsay Lohan- totally cool because LiLo looked put together which made me smile.

Eminem/Rihanna: You should know I'm not a huge Eminem fan, and if I hear "Love the Way You Lie" one more time, I'M going to start some domestic violence. BUT... Eminem rocked it. He was into it, he was real, it felt good. Rihanna and her bright red hair were beautiful, she sang great, and she was clearly in the moment, too. Great start to the show! Watch if you haven't:




Justin Bieber: Everyone's freaking out because he didn't sing. Shut up. He put on a good show, with some crazy dance moves, and rocked out on the drums, which I had no idea he could do. He's a talented kid, but he's a kid. He used a handicap. Don't use it against him. He's too cute for you to do that, anyway. It's worth watching:




Usher: He sang, he danced, he kicked it old school... Kinda. The visuals [in every performance, really] were pretty freakin' neat, and his dancing is always on point. He was also singing, which wasn't perfect, but that's not what matters. Anyone who likes Usher should definitely watch.


Taylor Swift: Why do people still let her perform on award shows?! SERIOUSLY. She's terrible. She's boring. She can't sing. It's miserable to watch. It's so bad I won't even tell you to watch for a good laugh. She didn't get a good "comeback" to Kanye, nor did she entertain anyone. Epic fail.


Bruno Mars, B.o.B., and Hayley Williams... and Paramore: I'm becoming a big fan of Bruno Mars and B.o.B... Hayley... She's a meh to me for now. The group put on a great, quick collabo, though. She sounded real rough in the beginning, but pulled it together by the end with her band. I'd say it's worth your time:




Drake: I also don't understand why there's so much hype around him and his performances. If you want to say he's a genius and his songs are great.. fine... but his performances are always boring. If it weren't for Mary J. and the awesome visual effects, I would have fallen asleep watching it. Don't bother.


Kanye: A toast to all the douchebags?! Uh.. YES PLEASE! As much as I'm disappointed in the lack of an OMG moment, his red suit with the plain white stage and background were pretty phenomenal. It could be the first performance/song of Kanye's that I thoroughly enjoy. I think you should enjoy it, too. [Plus, the intro from Aziz is freakin' perfect]:




I think that's probably about all there is to talk about besides Gaga's "meat moment." I like what she stands for, I like her purpose in life, I like that she reps her "little monsters" to the fullest. I don't like her going ridiculously over the top like she does and did last night, but when she sang a quick preview of her new song/album, I couldn't help but give her props. Girl's got talent... Just wish she didn't mask it with all the other weirdness.




In conclusion ;) There were no moments that will have us talking for the next year. There were no moments that will have us saying "OMG REMEMBER THE 2010 VMA's!!!" In that sense, the show sucked. If you compare it to other award shows, it's still pretty awesome and entertaining.. minus the same three people winning all of the awards.

on the racks: taylor swift does elle

Last month must have been a pretty lame month in the magazine world, because I feel like it's been forever since I've talked about some cover girls!

Anyway, this chic is nothing new to the eyes... Not until the unfamiliar look on the inside pages..

She's Taylor Swift, and she's on the cover of April's Elle Magazine.

Yeah, I know... What's worth sharing about that cover, right?! It's definitely the same cover I've seen on a million other magazines.

What's different is her straight hair on the inside!

No wonder she never straightens her hair, no matter what. It looks terrible. Either that, or Elle did a really bad job styling her.

Also: Did they make her eyebrows thicker?! Ummm... If this is a new "trend," I'd rather not know about it.

What do you think, though?! Good or bad look for TayTay?!



Not a fan. As usual. Sorry. Kinda.

elizabethany

watch: taylor lautner defends girlfriend taylor swift

[Alright so apparently it's still not "confirmed" that the two young Taylors are dating, but let's be real... They're practically yelling it from the mountaintops.]

This weekend SNL featured Twilight star Taylor Lautner, who took the time during his monologue to stick up for birthday girl Taylor Swift.

Stick up for her why? The Kanye situation. Apparently no one is going to let this one go anytime soon.



Seriously, guys, it's been 4 months since he took over the stage, and it's time to give it up. T. Swift spoke her peace on SNL, the Country Music people spoke their minds, and the Internet gave up at least a week of its time.

It's over. Dead. Pounded into the ground. RIP. [Hopefully.]

On the other hand, your back tuck was pretty sweet, and even though you missed the kicks, I remain impressed, Taylor.

elizabethany

watch: kids do the darnedest things

I have two videos of incredible kids that I must share.

First up- This is supposed to be a show put on by the guy awkwardly dancing in stilts, who decides to swing some random boy between his legs.

You may think something hilarious is going to happen like the stilts break, the boy falls, etc... False. Watch after the boy is put down. The show's star is no longer Mr. Stilts.



How jealous are you of his moves?! I'm 20 years older than him and can't move like that! [Maybe it's the color of my skin that hurts my ability, but I'd like to think I can overcome that!]

I also still can't figure out how kids learn this stuff! They must be watching inappropriate videos that national TV would never allow these days. I mean, look! He's got the face down and everything!

But... If they didn't watch such videos, we wouldn't be able to watch these videos... Which is why I 100% support such acts.


Next up: Another little kid who clearly watches TV meant for an older audience, and makes sure to take close notes.

She's only 2 years old, but she knows the words to "You Belong With Me," completely a capella, and how to act out Taylor Swift's VMA performance.



She starts out being the cutest little thing I've ever seen, then she's like a miniature Miley Cyrus, stripping her clothes at a VERY young age!

The thing is.... I'm okay with her doing it! She's so freakin' precious and knows all the words and loves being the center of attention!


Basically... These two kids are exactly how I want my kids to be. If that means having 2 year-olds study the VMAs, I'm okay with that.

love,
elizabethany

watch: taylor swift on snl

In case you were hiding in a cave for the past week, Taylor Swift hosted SNL this past weekend.

I don't think any of her performances really changed how I feel about her... A little dull, trying too hard, ya know.

Her monologue started out really stupid, then made me chuckle once or twice, but that's our little secret.



Nothing over the top funny, that's for sure.

What did catch my eye was when she played Kate Gosselin on The View. Everyone looked pretty dead-on, and it was relatively funny.



Whyyyy am I so sick of J&K yet I'm always mentioning them?! It's a terrible cycle! Help! Someone get us all out of it!

Anyway... Good job, Taylor... And your exploding hedgehog haircut imitation.
It's a shame Kanye wasn't really there to interrupt. It would have been classic.

elizabethany

tunes on tuesday 100609

WOOHOO! It's that time again! Tuesdays are my favorite days sometimes because I get to do this post...


Break out your downloading equipment and let's get started!


Britney Spears--> 3



Of course I'm starting out with Britney. Some of you have probably heard it a million times already, but some of you haven't. It's Britney, it's good, I love it. Duh.


Allison Iraheta--> Friday I'll Be Over You



Remember her from this past season of American Idol?! I have complete faith that she's going to be the first rocker chic to come from the show. She can sing her ass off, she's cute, she's different but also has a very mainstream sound. Get used to her, I think you're going to hear a lot from her.


Ke$ha--> Tik Tok



Ah. Her voice is terribly annoying and I want to punch her in the face. It's a cool song, and I like the lyrics and the comedy of it, but... Her voice. Help. Please don't play this too much, radio music directors....


Boys Like Girls ft. Taylor Swift--> Two Is Better Than One



Interesting combo! I'm surprised to say that I like this song. It's a little sad, but I'm totally diggin' the collabo here.


Shwayze--> Get U Home



This guy hasn't sold me or made me dislike him yet. It's a... Mmmm.. Okay song. The lyrics are raunchy and fun, for sure. They may reel me in.


OneRepublic--> All The Right Moves



I'm rooting for these guys mainly because I think Timbaland got too much credit for "Apologize." This song isn't bad. I don't think it'll be nearly as huge, but it's not bad at all.


Chamillionaire--> Good Morning



Ummm... I love it. I love that everyone is sampling old, really great songs. Love the lyrics, too. I'm sure tons of people will be quoting this song all the time for Facebook status updates.


Creed--> Rain



A lot of people are Creed haters... Not I. And two words for ya: They're BAAACCCKKKKKK.


Cobra Starship--> Hot Mess



I think I kinda like these Cobra Starship people. Another funny song and it's catchy. I enjoy.


Because Country people are all sorts of copyrighted, I have nothing for this week... Or at least not today. I'll see what I can do on another day!

Enjoy the new playlist!

elizabethany

kanye interrupts everyone

I'm definitely sick of hearing about how Kanye interrupted Taylor's speech. Okay, it was stupid. He's a huge d-bag. Tell me something I don't know. The guy's been on my hate-list since day 1.

What I do find hilarious are A) the people who are talking about it and B) pictures people are making/things they're having him "say."

Did you hear Obama called him a jackass?! Yea, President Obama got caught saying Kanye West is a jackass, and it's just one reason why I love our president.



I wonder if Kanye will come out and say "President Obama does not like Kanye West"... Oh wait. Obama already did that for him.

Kelly Clarkson totally ripped Kanye a new butthole, too.

Dear Kanye,

What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.

On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

But... the funniest part of everything are the parodies and images people are creating. "Kanye West interrupts..... Everyone."

And finally... Even Hitler hates Kanye. Now that's an accomplishment.

Seriously, dude... I've told you before, I will totally say it again. Go jump off a cliff or something. Go to the top of Mount Everest and roll the entire way down. Run your car off a bridge. Keep the Summer of Death going. Please. For me? I just think you're a waste of life.

love,
elizabethany

watch: taylor swift raps

Last night on the CMT Awards [Which I missed and I'm UBER mad about it! Replays??], T-Pain made an appearance! RAPPING!!

Okay so it wasn't really about him, it was more about the person doing it with him-- Taylor Swift!

It's pretty freakin' funny, and I think you should check it out... Now.



Why do I laugh every time I hear "I'm on a boat"?!?

That's great, though. Who knew Taylor could rap?! She sounds better than a bunch of guys I hear.

Thank you T-Pain for another viral video.

love,
elizabethany

tunes on tuesday 051209

Hello! Happy Tunes on Tuesday, my darlings! Lots of stuff for today!

Jordin Sparks--> Battlefield



Is this going to be the replacement for last summer's "No Air"? If it is, I will hate it in another month. For now, it's not terrible. It grows on ya.


Jennifer Lopez--> What is Love



J Lo is back!? Well, Jennifer Lopez, I guess. It doesn't live up to her old stuff by any means, but it's not a "Oh no this can't be her comeback single" either. It could definitely get some plays.


Rihanna ft. Lady GaGa--> Silly Boy



Oh boy... These two combining could definitely take over the radio in a heartbeat. This song is too T Pain microphone for me, though. [And yes, that's how I will always refer to that sound.] Why'd they have to use it the WHOLE time?! The lyrics are fun, and I'm sure it'll do well, but I have that pet peeve.


Taylor Swift--> You Belong With Me



Ugh... Could I be falling into the Taylor Swift trap?! I CAN'T! NO! HOLD BACK, BETH!! This is a cute video, cute song... But it's typical. So typical. And will be played on every radio station and probably be on the next Now CD.


Justin Beiber--> One Time



This kid is FIFTEEN!!!! So basically.. The next Jesse McCartney? He's even got the long, shaggy, dirty blonde hair. And oh yeah, he hangs out with Usher on the reg apparently. He's pretty freakin' good!


Colby O'Donis--> I Wanna Touch You



As much as I didn't like this guy in real life, I'm not going to hate on this song. The lyrics are a lil lame at parts, but overall, I can dig it.


Paul Wall ft. Webbie and Mouse--> Bizzy Body



Here's another song that's stupid, but is going to be all over the clubs, and people are going to LOVE IT when it's played. One question: What kinda names are Webbie and Mouse?!


David Rush ft. Pitbull and Kevin Rudolf--> Shooting Star [Party Rock Remix]



This song immediately got me bumpin, not even gonna lie. Am I conforming to something, or just in the mood to dance? Downloaded!


Evan Taubenfield--> Boy Meets Girl



This guy is the former lead guitarist for Avril Lavigne and I'm bothered by this song. He sounds like he's 12, the song sounds like it was written by someone 12, and... No. It's just awkward. I didn't listen to much of it, and I made up my mind before giving it much of a chance, but I'll let you decide for yourself.

Alright, that's all for today! [Plus Dawn's song about Danity Kane from yesterday! Check it out!] Sorry country fans! I'll find some later!

love,
elizabethany

listen: coldplay meets taylor swift

Some afternoon/drive home DC radio guy who loves to rub in my face that he's going to the Idol finale pointed this out to me... It's amazing. I never would have thought to combine two songs like "Love Story" and "Viva la Vida," but that's why there are smart people in the world.

These two guys played the songs on the piano and the cello, and created what I will call a masterpiece. It sounds BEAUTIFUL!



It almost leaves me speechless. So good. Genius of the week award? Probably.

love,
elizabethany

because you want to know: the ACM's

So the Academy of Country Music Awards were last night! They were overall pretty good! I'm happy with them!

The opening was pretty sweet. They had a LOT of people perform a little bit of each of their songs. [I'd like them all collaborating better, though.] Brooks and Dunn, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, Taylor Swift...! It could have done without Miss Swift, but I'm just a hater, really.



"Now that's what I call a stimulus package!" --Reba hosted the show. She did a fine job, but some of her lines were a little lame and awkward. I heard on the radio today the DJ saying "She should be a talk-show host!" I disagree. She did have some funny moments, though...

"It seems like everyone is making country music now... Michael Phelps is teaming up with Willie Nelson. They're covering the Doobie Brothers."

Some performers worth noting:

Trace Adkins, Til The Last Shot's Fired [Absolutely amazing.]



Miley Cyrus, The Climb [I know, I know. But I like this song! And she didn't act all crazy for once.]



Sugarland, What I'd Give [She is an incredible singer!]



Carrie Underwood, I Told You So [Check out this DRESS!]



Rascal Flatts and Jamey Johnson also had great performances. Jamey's "In Color" went from black and white, to color, and back again throughout the whole thing. So good.

As for winners.. Julianne Hough [Dancing With the Stars pro-dancer] got Top New Artist, and she was super excited.



Carrie wins for the night, though. Not only did she get Top Female, but she's also Entertainer of the Year. She seems to remain humble, which I didn't expect, but I love it.



It's been a while since a lady took it home! I'm proud of her though! That spin is so cute, too!

And, as usual, everyone looked great on the red carpet. Here's some quick photos.

So, yeah! Good show overall! If you missed it, you missed OUT!

love,
elizabethany

because you want to know: the grammy's

As always, I'm sure you've been on the edge of your seat just WAITING to hear what I have to say about the event of the weekend.

No, I don't mean Chris beating Rihanna. I already told you about that. I mean the Grammy's.

First of all, if you didn't tune into E! Network to see Seacrest on the red carpet, you missed out on a show. The man must have been drinking, or just not slept in a week, because he was clearly in outer space. He kept asking really uncomfortable questions to people, but seemed so disconnected. I don't know.. It was weird.

I don't know if this is the best example of it, but here he is with Jennifer Hudson.. Who he used to talk to regularly on American Idol:



And yes, that's Punk. Her fiance. Or "baby" as Ryan thought. Weird.

Moving on... Whitney's big "comeback." Did she do it? My opinion: No. However, Britney didn't do it the first time either. She needed a second chance, and she nailed it then. So I'm sure no one is giving up on Whitney yet. They can't. She was just a little cracked out still last night.. No big deal.

PLUS, she DID sing at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy party the night before, and sounded pretty good. Not as mind blowing as we're used to.. But she's still got some pipes. [I know, it's a terrible video.. Deal with it. She starts singing around 2 minutes.]



The sound was killin' me. During so many performances, the mic was clearly not rigged up to the broadcast or something, because it sounded like a live concert being recorded on someones video camera. It was terrible, and made amazing singers like Carrie Underwood sound bad.

But, she IS Carrie Underwood, so even though the sound wasn't working, she still sounded pretty good.. And as always, looked amazing.



Honestly though.. Overall, the performances really disappointed me. Yeah, maybe Rihanna and GF-Beater [:(] could have helped, but I just wasn't impressed overall.

For example... Why was one of the most hyped up duets MILEY and TAYLOR?!?! Neither of them are really amazing singers, and they're even worse live. There's just a lot more people out there who could have filled their spot.



And SPEAKING OF DUETS!!! Stevie Wonder performed. That's always something anyone is going to look forward to. But... Who'd they pair him with?! The JONAS BROTHERS!!!

Seriously, I'm all about combining generations and things like that... But this is not okay. Stevie is a legend. The JoBros are not.. No matter what any teeny bopper may say. [And I'm allowed to say this because I, too, was a teeny bopper growing up. Big time.] I mean yeah, it sounded okay and everything... But c'mon. This is like a sin or something! And didn't Stevie used to say he wouldn't be a part of such things?!



A good example of combining generations DID happen last night, though. Some of the Four Tops combined with Jamie Foxx and Neyo to do a montage of a songs.. And it was FABULOUS! Jamie and Neyo fit RIGHT in swagger-wise, and they're amazing singers. It just fit. You could feel the chemistry, and how they really knew this was something special for everyone.

Speaking of swagger, you KNOW Kanye had to be up on that stage sometime. And of course TI, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, and the ever so PREGO MIA. It started off black and white which was interesting, but it was a good performace.. I won't even lie.



Anddd speaking of TI.. He was also on stage with Justin Timberlake (replacing either Chris or Rihanna's peformance) for Dead and Gone. Good stuff, for sure.



On top of that, I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but there wasn't a whole lot worthy of sharing. Coldplay peformed, which a lot of people may like actually.. But I still haven't figured out the fascination in them. U2 opened the show. Album of the year winners Alison Krauss and Robert Plant ALSO performed.. But it still left the question of "Why'd they win?"

And, of course, Katy Perry told us all one more time, that she did in fact kiss a girl.. And yes, she liked the taste of her cherry chapstick.



Weird performance.

I know I'm forgetting plenty, but thanks to my computer crashing earlier today, I lost all of my notes, so these will have to do.

As usual, I love hearing what everyone had to say, and what you noticed that maybe I didn't, so please share!!

Overall though.. I just wasn't impressed this year. I think they could have been a lot better, and made some better decisions not only about performances, but about the awards too.

YAY for Jennifer Hudson though!!!

love,
elizabethany

PS: I'll put up red carpet pictures tomorrow. It's all too much right now! :-P

take these celebrities home to mom

Are you sick of finding the bad guys? Are you scared of bringing home your girl because she's a little more "scandalous" than Mom may like? Well, you might want to take a look at these people then, because they are the

Top 10 Celebrities To Take Home To Mom

10. Blake Lively
If Mom can look right past all of the racy ads for "Gossip Girl" last year, this girl is perfect to bring home. She always looks great, without showing too much off, and always has a smile on her face. People say she is one of the nicest celebrities to talk to on the red carpet, so Mom will have to agree. Besides, if she does have a problem with ads, just remind her that Serena is the character that cleaned up her act.

9. Jamie Foxx

There's nothin' like a good, multi-talented guy to bring home to Mom. Especially if he can break the ice and have everyone laughing right away. When you were told to raise your standards, I don't think anyone would expect you to raise them this high.. The man is unstoppable in every type of business! Sure he may have a few dirty jokes up his sleeve, too, but everyone will be too focused on his ability to do ANYTHING in the world to care.


8. Taylor Swift
If your mom wants you with a little princess, Taylor is your girl. She's sure to come home and make everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside. She is certainly a wholesome young lady, and never shows off any of her goodies. And when Mom asks what she does for a living, just tell her she writes her own songs. Then make sure you throw in the fact that they're pretty much guaranteed to hit #1 on several different charts. She'll get the Mommy stamp of approval in no time.

7. Ryan Gosling

If your mom has seen "The Notebook," he's in. No matter what. No questions asked. The perfect man for you. And just in case Mama needed any more convincing, make sure she gets a good look at his adorable face, and infatuation with you. [Assuming he feels the same way about you as he does/did Rachel McAdams.] So far, he's done no wrong.. And he won't with you either.


6. Carrie Underwood
Talk about someone who always looks absolutely perfect every day of her life. Wait nevermind. Every SECOND of her life. When she walks through the door she'll take Mom, and everyone's, breath away. Then on Christmas when she sings carols, everyone in the room will probably melt and watch in awe. Plus, she's confident, but knows where she comes from, which is always a plus. You can't have Miss I-Know-I'm-Great coming home with you.

5. Ryan Seacrest

If Mama Dearest wants you to be with Mr. Money, Mr. Talented, Mr. Nice, Mr. Family, or Mr. Funny, you don't have to settle with just one. You can have all of these Mr's in one package! He's got his own radio show that's funny, he's the host of American Idol AND E! News, he's super close with his mom, and, well, I'm thinking he makes a good amount of money. Did I mention he's been on the lookout for a nice lady to tag along with him while he travels all over the country for his jobs.. Daily..? It'd be a fun ride, and Mom would probably want to come too.


4. Kate Hudson
Does your mom like the girl next door type? Well, Kate might be perfect for you, then. Even though she's a huge A-list star and acts in TONS of movies, she's not one to show off. [Not that she has a whole lot to show, if you get what I'm saying...] Mom will catch her spunkiness, but in a good way. They'll be best friends in no time. Plus, she plays in all sorts of love stories that always seem to work out in the end, so why not make her movies a reality?

3. Zac Efron

Make sure he watches his cheeks when he walks in, because they just might get pinched with the look he's got. He's a hottie to many, but to a lot of moms, the idea of being a Disney star couldn't be better for their little girl. Mr. High School is certainly a big kid now, and you know that, but Mom will never know.


2. Reese Witherspoon
Even though Mom might not like the idea of bringing home someone who already has a couple kids, let them get to know each other and I'm sure everything will be perfectly fine. She's already proven she can be faithful in relationships, and she seems to be a great mom. And come to think of it, if things do work out, all of her awards will really make for some great decoration throughout your house.

1. Shemar Moore

When you walk in holding his hand, and he's smiling, Mom will melt right into his hands too. Then he'll tell her about his relationship with his mother, and she'll trust him with everything she's got. He's one of the most sincere men out there [All you have to do is watch a Tyler Perry movie or two to prove it] and he's got a great sense of humor too. If you don't believe me, just watch him on Ellen. And he, like Ryan Seacrest, is out lookin' for a woman. So, uh, Shemar baby! I'm right here!




Now, I understand maybe some of these people aren't exactly available at the moment.. But I don't see any of them getting married into a super successful relationship anytime soon, either.

However, there are 2 people that need to be on this list. So, I will consider them the 2 people that are worth becoming a homewrecker for..

Ellen DeGeneres
Well, good news here is, girls can take her home. Or, if you want to play pretend, guys can take her home too! She's funny, witty, smart, has a People's Choice Award winning talk show, knows everyone in Hollywood, and, most importantly, knows how to dance. I've yet to meet anyone who is anti-Ellen, and I don't think any mom would be either. [That is, of course, unless you're surprising her with your new-found sexual preference. Woops.] It's just a shame [well, actually I'm pretty happy for her, but still...] that she's married to her soulmate, Portia.

Will Smith

Does the guy need ANY explanation?! He's the biggest money-maker in Hollywood, first of all. He's attractive, multi-talented, and a fantastic father and husband. Now it's just a matter of making him YOUR husband. Mom won't need to give you the official stamp of approval for this one. It's a given. I mean seriously, who COULDN'T love the Fresh Prince?!



So there ya have it. 12 celebs that are perfect to be sitting right next to you at the family reunion dinner table. Now it's just a matter of making it happen.

Until next Thursday! [Kinda..]

love,
