Miranda and Blake--Love them!

Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton.....They are so cute together! How can you not love them?

The other day a friend suggested that they were a Hollywood couple that wouldn't last.....is it weird I was offended by that statement? I felt the need to defend them and their love for each other.  Am I the only one that thinks Miranda and Blake have that "one true love" kinda thing? I mean, seriously, look at the way he looks at her when she sings. **Sigh**

Anyway, if you are bored and feel like crying like a basketcase, check out this video of them singing Over You to benefit for the Oklahoma tornado victims.  I loved this song from the minute I first heard it, which was shortly after my dad passed away.  The lyrics are so spot on (although she's changed some here to relate to tornado victims). Love them and love this song!

Why I hate Leann Rimes

Girl had potential back in the day. I had the cassette single of "Blue". (Hehehehe. Ah, the days of cassette singles).

Maybe that was Leaan's fatal flaw........she peaked too soon.  Anyway, it's been all down hill from there. 

REASON #1 WHY I HATE LEANN RIMES: Her rendition of "How do I Live".  Classic song from a great movie.....Can you really go wrong with Nicolas Cage and a fake country accent!?! Leave that song to Trisha Yearwood.  Her version was waaaay better. Heard Leann's version on the radio the other day and my ears burned. I promptly changed the station and decided to write this post.

REASON # 2 WHY I HATE LEANN RIMES: She's a homewrecker. Granted it was with this weirdo, who I'm not sure was a catch to begin with. I mean, at best, he's a C list actor. Not something worth ruining your career over.

REASON # 3 WHY I HATE LEANN RIMES: Bitch goes and gets all anorexic and shit. Seriously, on what planet is that attractive?

REASON # 4 WHY I HATE LEANN RIMES: She checked herself into rehab for "anxiety and stress". Bitch wouldn't know anxiety and stress if it slapped her in the face and called her a whore! I work full time and have 3 kids under 5.........I am the one who needs rehab for anxiety and stress.  Only the version of rehab I could afford would be drastically different than Leann's version!

Any of you have celebrities that drive you nuts??? Also on my list are anyone named Kardashian, anyone who has ever been on a reality show on MTV, Kobe Bryant, Tom Cruise, etc.

Honey Boo Boo

Seriously, what is there not to love about this show? The hubs says it's a train wreck. Duh! Of course it's a train wreck. That's the reason I love it. I mean, the family even lives in a house in front of a train track. It couldn't be more perfect.

In all seriousness though, this family is real. Mama may not feed her kids the best diet in the world, but her and Sugar Bear seem to genuinely love their children.  The parents are always doing something with the kids, taking them to the Redneck Games, out to eat, for pedicures, muddin', etc. They are making memories with the kids, which is more than a lot of parents can say. 

They also seem to be civic minded.....hell Sugar Bear dressed in a Santa suit in the heat of summer in Georgia in order to get canned goods for the community! That's teaching your kids to care about others and to care about your community. Again, not to sound like my own momma, but this is what's wrong with this country....the citizens have lost their morals, values, and empathy for others. Maybe we need more Sugar Bears and Junes in the world! (Mom, if you are reading this, I am sure you are cringing as you hate Honey Boo Boo! Whatever, hate on hater! I love this show!!!!)

So Mama's forklift foot was covered in gnats, she took her kids to bingo and she allows them to eat cheese balls in bulk? Your point is?!?! She's trying....she's doing the best she can with what she has. And at the end of the day, isn't that all that matters?  I think so.  My house is always an explosion of toys and dirty laundry, sometimes the twins don't match, and sometimes (not that often, so don't judge) my kids go 2 days without a bath! Hell, sometimes we even eat hot dogs for dinner! But we are trying and are doing the best we can with what we have. Our kids are loved and it shows.

That's the message I think you get from Honey Boo Boo.  And that's my plug for the show. Besides, what is there not to love about this hot mess:

 

Dancing with the Stars Top 10 observations

I love this show, but the hubs hates it. Alas, I am stuck TiVoing it out of respect for the hubs who for some reason doesn't want to watch half nude males gyrating music.  This season, it's the Allstars, which makes me love the show even more. We aren't stuck with the likes of Master P or Kenny Mayne.  All these people are good.  Damn good!

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my 45 minutes zipping through DWTS this morning and sipping coffee. Observations from last night's episode:

1. Maks is HOT!!!.
2. Joey Fatone has gray hair.  Let me repeat: a member of my second all time favorite boy band has gray hair (Sorry NYSNC, my heart belongs to NKOTB as Jordan Knight was my first true love).  This is disturbing on a variety of levels, the most disturbing of which is it makes me feel old. And I am not old. Nor will I ever be old!
3. Maks is still hot.
4. The reference by Kirstie Alley re: Maks and 50 Shades of Grey makes Maks even hotter.
5. If Maks is a 10+, his brother is a solid 8.5 in clothes and a 9 shirtless.
6. Derek Hough is hot too.  He'd be hotter if I could ever ascertain whether or not he is actually hetero. I'm still not certain.
7. Kelly Monaco has a point.....it is difficult to dance with fake fun bags.  I never really thought about this before but now it all makes sense....this is why the professional dancers are all flatish. No one wants a black eye from a DD fun bag while doing the Cha Cha. This may explain Pamela Anderson's quick departure last week. Or it could just be because the bitch has two left feet.
8. Shawn Johnson, Sabrina Ryan, and Melissa Rycroft are just the cutest little things. I would love to have them as BFFs in real life. I just want to squeeze little Shawn Johnson.
9. Maks is hot.
10. Drew Lachey is strong. I always thought his biceps were just for looks.  I mean, with a brother like Nick Lachey and his massive guns, you gotta at least try to keep up. But last night, he proved they were more than just for show and did an amazing sideways hand stand thingie on a lamp post.  While it is impressive, he still ain't no Maks.....too short for my liking! You can see his impressive feat here. 

Freebie List

I am a huge fan of Friends.  If you are a fan too, you have no doubt watched the episode about the Freebie List.  If you were under a rock in the late 90's, here's the clip.

Anyway, the general idea is that the Friends each have a freebie list...a list of celebrities they are allowed to sleep with and their significant other can't get mad. I was in college when Friends was popular and this subject became a hot topic among my friends at the time. Over the years, my list has evolved.  The following is the current version (in no particular order):

Channing Tatum
 

The guy is smokin' hot! Anyone who says otherwise is either blind or clearly hasn't seen the awesomeness that is Magic Mike. A true cinematic treasure!!

David Beckham

Someone once told me they didn't get the appeal and why people found him attractive. I showed that moron a picture of him in his undies and she quickly changed her mind. The only negative thing I can find about him is that he is attached to that twat Posh Spice. Bitch needs to eat!!! But his lovely British accent outweighs any negative that Posh might bring to the table!

Justin Timberlake

Dude has dance moves and he is HUHlarious on SNL. But let's face it, this choice is mainly for nostalgia purposes.  He is the only constant on my list...dating back to his N'Sync days.

Ryan Lochte (but only in a Speedo and only if his mouth is taped shut)
 

 

The dude is a douche, no doubt about it.  But he can swim fast and he is the hottest douche I have ever seen. He only made the list this past summer. 

Charlie Hunam (but only if he's on the back of a motorcycle wearing his Samcro jacket)

If you don't watch Sons of Anarchy, you should. If nothing else, this hottie has lots of sex scenes on the show. I think it's the bad ass attitude he has on the show that makes him all the more hot!


Honorable Mention:

• Ryan Gosling
• Adam Levine
• The Rock
• Jon Hamm (but only as Don Draper)
• Ryan Reynolds (pre Scar Jo....I think she is a trashy skank and just can't put that aside enough to move him up the list)

So who is on your list? And for those of you wondering, I am sure my significant other has a list and I know the top of his list is Charlize Theron and Alison Krauss.

Steaming hot (in more ways than one)

For anyone who doesn't live in the midwest or who lives under a rock, let me state the obvious: IT HAS BEEN FRIGGIN HOT!! Which translates into three very crazy/hyper children.  In an effort to rid myself of three minions and cool off, I treated myself last week to this little nugget:

YUM! HOT! OH YEAH!

Okay, so that really didn't cool me off....quite the opposite! That movie was hot!!  In all seriousness, I give it two thumbs up! WAY UP! :)

My only critique: the plot parts involving the love interest were kinda slow...she's not a very good actress. She had that constipated look on her face the whole movie.....and her laugh rivaled Janice from Friends on obnoxious level.  But the slow parts were overshadowed by something much larger (tee hee): CHANNING TATUM! I mean, seriously, has there ever been a finer specimen of man!? Ever? I think not.

I couldn't resist stealing this from some gal on Pinterest:

LOL! Anyone else seen it and loved it?!?!

My Clone (*shudders....a scary thought)

Everyone's posting about their celebrity twin, so I thought I would try it. For years, people have said they thought I looked like Barbara Streisand from the 70s:



BABS IN THE 70s

and the chick from Blossom and Big Bang Theory, Mayim Bialik.



BLOSSOM/CHICK FROM BIG BANG THEORY

 I think neither are very glamorous or who, ideally, I'd like to look like.  I always hated when people said that I looked like Babs or Blossom in high school.  Just a few weeks ago, a security guard at Court told me I looked like the Big Bang Theory gal. I silently groaned, but laughed so I didn't hurt the ol' guy's feelings!

Here's the photo I used for this little test (*note, I used a photo from my pre-kids days):

The first result from this website: Avril Lavigne

 Not too bad. I will take Avril Lavigne, considering the alternatives it chose for me included Screech from Save by the Bell (kill me!!) and Jared Leto (at least he's semi-attractive)!

So, this was the result when I went to this website: Michael Caine

WTF? So not only do I look like a man, but I look like a geriatric man! Awesome! It also mentioned Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit. I truthfully don't know which makes me cringe more.


On second thought, I think I will take Blossom and/or Babs!! They don't seem so bad afterall!
