According to Greta

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMIlAPOMwUg&feature=player_embedded]

It is sometimes hard for me to take Hillary Duff’s acting career seriously. I haven’t been able to watch Gossip Girl this season so I really have no idea what she is like. Regardless, I think her new movie “According to Greta” is shedding new light on the kind of potential she has as an actress.  She was an actress first before a singer and I think in general I just like her better as an actress. This is really embarrassing, but every time she cries in a movie…I cry.

A Cinderella Story, Cadet Kelly, Raise Your Voice, that Lizzie McGuire episode where the paper boy dumped her… powerful stuff right there.

Enjoy this parody from Guillermo on Jimmy Kimmel from a scene out of the New Moon trailer. I lul’ed. It’s supposed to be dubbed for fans in Latin America, but uh, it’s still in English, so no worries there.

Teen Mom

MTV already did 16 and Pregnant, but life goes on and the world needs to see into the lives of these young GIRLS who are succeeding and struggling in their first year of motherhood.

Each episode interweaves these stories revealing the wide variety of challenges young mothers can face: marriage, relationships, family support, adoption, finances, graduating high school, starting college, getting a job, and the daunting and exciting step of moving out to create their own families.

Teen Mom premires on December 8

So…MTV is going back to music…when?

Question

Why is Leighton Meester performing like…this?

Usually it’s a gradual transition from television actress to say…singer. This just looks kind of like a mess. That hair. That outfit. That jumping. guhh that stage presence. I hope her people help her out soon.

BCBGeneration

Joyce Azria, daughter of fashion mogul Max Azria has taken BCBGeneration under her wing. BCBGeneration is the sister of BCBG Max Azria. Starting today, the entire collection can be purchased online!

In my opinion the Generation line is for a younger crowd – a me type of crowd where as BCBG Max Azria is for an older crowd

I really like this line. I think it’s fresh and I would definitely wear it if I could. It’s too bad I no longer buy anything that’s not on sale UNLESS it’s an investment piece.

Here are some of my favorites:

John Mayer – Battle Studies

So I’ve had John Mayer’s new album Battle Studies for almost two weeks. Right when I got it, I listened through every single song not skipping ahead and giving each its deserved attention. My first thoughts: this album is really… weak. There was nothing that blew me away. The songs were nice yeah, but where was the raw John Mayer. Everything was so soft. Too soft. Too girly? What did Jennifer Aniston DO TO YOU?! I was disappointed because we all know that John Mayer writes loves songs and such, but he has so much potential to do more.

I let the album grow on me a little bit. If I would’ve made my review post then, I would’ve bashed it and become a hypocrite. While there are some songs that make me go wtf?! on the album, there are some that I like.

There are 11 tracks. I like about 7 so far. Meaning I rate this album 7/11

Best songs:

  • Assassin
  • Edge of Desire
  • Half of My Heart ft. Taylor Swift
  • Heartbreak Warfare
  • War of My Life

Tickets for John Mayer in Seattle go on sale tomorrow. I’m crossing my fingers that my brother will buy me tickets 🙂 I have yet to see him live and I would really love to.

Remembering Daul Kim

Gorgeous model Daul Kim was found dead in her apartment earlier this week after hanging herself. Her death had been discovered after several messages she had posted on her blog “I Like to Fork Myself” hinted at loneliness and depression. Kim, was only 20 years old and just recently walked the runway at about ten shows this past Spring 2010 Fashion Week. Kim was raised in both Seoul, Korea and Singapore.

“South Korea, which has the highest suicide rate among the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, has had a string of high-profile suicides in recent months.”

This post makes me sad 🙁

I love listening to this song and I especially needed it with the difficult week I’ve been happening. Maybe it will do wonders for you too 🙂
