Danny and Dominic

Hockey players do not have a monopoly on hotness, far from, it in fact. But let's take a look at two pretty faces from a sport even more brutal than hockey, rugby. My dad was a rugby coach back in the day and when I feel like waking up at 8am on a Sunday, I may catch a game, so I know a thing or two about rugby.

But we're not here to talk about the ins and outs of the game, we're here to look and drool over two of the London WASPS (ahahahahahahahahaha) hottest stars, Danny Cipriani and Dominic Waldouck. Yes they are on a team called the WASPS, let's not focus on the irony of an ENGLISH rugby team called WASPS, let's focus on Kelly Brook's but boy (Danny) and my boyfriend (Dominic).

Danny

even that guy sitting beside him wants a piece of Danny

Dominic

*melts*

And just for all our perverted fantasies...and when I say our I mean, my

JUMP ON IT

Since its hump day...

I should post something worthy of humping...day

God I'm horrible...but for all those guys who are rolling their eyes over the fact that another girl is fawning over Sidney Crosby, well, he's still the biggest nerd in the NHL!!!

ooo I should do a NHL Nerd list, Sidney would be #1 (obviously), don't steal my idea!

The calls are coming from INSIDE the house

A teenage girl is hired by a young couple to baby-sit their two small children. They go out to a dinner party and leave the girl to tend to the kids in a somewhat isolated, large house at the end of the block.

When the hour gets late, she puts the children to bed and sits down to watch some late-night TV. The phone starts ringing and startles the half-asleep teenager. When she answers it, she hears heavy breathing and a man tells her he is "coming to get her." While she is somewhat scared, she dismisses it as a prank phone call.

About 15 minutes later, the phone rings again. When she answers it, the man starts laughing and tells her that he is closer. The baby sitter is truly frightened now and calls the police. They tell her that it's probably just a prank phone call, but they will try to trace the call -- so she must keep him on the line as long as possible if he calls another time. She once again settles down on the couch, not sleepy at all.

The phone rings a third time and the man tells her he has come for her and it's only a matter of time. He continues with some heavy breathing until the babysitter is so terrified that she hangs up the phone again. She quickly decides to get the children and flee the house when the phone rings again. This time it is a policeman on the other end and he tells her frantically "GET OUT OF THE HOUSE NOW!" THE MAN IS INSIDE THE HOUSE AND IS CALLING FROM THE UPSTAIRS EXTENSION!"

She runs from the house as the police arrive. The madman escapes but they find the children upstairs dead and a bloody axe laying on the bedroom floor next to an open window.

Scary Video of the Day

The coolest kids, the coolest zombies



Thump, Thump, Drag...

Ashley, a 16 year old girl, was babysitting 2 little boys. Their parents weren't supposed to come home until very late, so she put them to bed and sat downstairs in the living room to watch some TV. She was flipping channels and came to the evening news. The Anchor-woman reported a warning for her area. She said that a mental patient had escaped from a nearby facility and was on the run from the local athorities. Ashley flipped the channel again to find an old movie she hadn't seen in a while, but always enjoyed. By the end of the film, she had forgotten about the news report.

Upstairs one of the boys woke up. He thought he heard a noise coming from the hallway. Thump, thump, draaaag....

The child thought that Ashley must be watching TV, the sound must have been from the program she was watching.

The boy heard the sound again and woke his brother. Together, they listened at the door to the bedroom and the sound kept coming thump, thump, draaaag...thump, thump, drag....

The sound stopped but the boys were still nervous about leaving the saftey of their bedroom. They got back into bed and stayed under the covers until their parents got home.

When their parents came in the house they were struck by a greusome sight. Ashley was laying halfway up the stairs with a trail of blood behind her. Her arms were cut off at the elbows and she'd been climbing the stairs on the bloody stumps of her arms, pulling her badly injured body along to protect the children before she died of blood loss.

Ashley's attacker was never found!

Its October! My favourite month! There's Autumn, falling leaves, fall clothes, AND HALLOWEEN! My favourite 'holiday'. This year my bfff and I are going as David Bowie...can you get any hotter than that?

Anyways, in honor of this most excellent 'season', everyday or every other day, I will post scary videos until the day of the dead (Nov. 1st), AND I'll post my favourite urban legends...you know just to get us into the mood.

Hope y'all are excited, 'cause I am!!!!!!!

Sexy Dracula, Sexy Song:

Neck Scarf

There once was a girl who always wore a scarf around here neck no matter what time of year it was. One day while out on a date with her boyfriend, he said to her "Take off your scarf." She replied, "No, I will take it off when the time is right."

Years went by and the couple became engaged to be married. On their wedding night, her new husband again said to her, "We are married now so you can take off your scarf." Again she said, "No, I will take it off when the time is right."

More time passed and the young couple grew old together. The old woman lay on her death bed and addressed her weeping husband kneeling by her side. "I'm so sorry to keep this secret from you for so long. Take off my scarf and you'll see why I've always had it on."

Her husband took the end of the scarf in his hand and slowly removed it from her neck. Horrified, he watched his wife's head roll off the bed and across the floor. She'd been wearing the scarf to keep her head on!

LAME

Who says like shit like this, anyway?

The lamest of the lame, is Dion Phaneuf's "I never enjoy a hit, I can't afford to, I forget it once its over, blah blah blah"...Yea ok, buddy. We get it you're tough and skilled and shit.

Sorry that I'm picking this apart but I'm an anthropologist that's what I'm trained to do.

I think what's this campaign's downfall is that it takes itself too seriously...and its really lame! It doesn't really show what its trying to sell which is hockey, all it shows is a bunch of whiny bitches and green screen magic.

ON TO THE VIDEOS



AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!




And your point is...



Get over it dude!



*eye roll*

Looks who's slumming it!

None of these girls are particularly stylish. Maybe if it were Blake Lively on the cover, with America Ferreria (yea traveling pants girls!) and Emma Watson, a style issue would make sense BUT Us weekly isn't really about style now is it? Its about publicity!

-LC is on the cover every other week, its her shtick, and now that she's a ~*real designer*~, why not use her usual soap box magazine, to sell more jersey dresses for $10 million dollars?

-Taylor Swift is on the cover because they're trying to make her happen...like mainstream happen. She's dating a Jonas brother, was at the VMAs, she's crossing over and what better way to cross over than a cover of US weekly?

-Hilary's on the cover because she has lyke a greatest hits album coming out, and a single, and lyke movies and stuff, so she like needs this so people can lyke remember who she is

Srsly, Hilary? Srsly???

I'm not saying that Lindsay Lohan's above doing a photo shoot for Us weekly, I'm just saying that she wouldn't need a reality tv star, and country's latest teen sensation to grace the cover along with her to make it bankable, ya know what I mean? ~*Linds*~ sells magazines, ~*Linds*~ is an A-lister in the fame game (not in the movie game though, far from it in fact). She was on the cover of Vanity Fair! Has ~*Hil*~ ever been on the cover of Vanity Fair?



Let me put this into perspective for you ~*Hil*~, Shenae Grimes made the cover of US weekly...sure she shared it with Silver BUT Sliver's on par with Shenae in terms of fame, they're costars, they're friends, whatever BUT she's been famous for all of 2 minutes and you've been famous since you were 13 and all you could get from US weekley was a badly stylized shoot (light pink dresses on pale, blonde girls with soft lighting, who does that?) with that chick from the Hills and, Joe Jonas' gf...

So I guess this means your fame is on par with Taylor Swift. With Lauren Conrad.

Girl, your stock has plummeted!

Don't believe me? Well here's an eye opener for you (if sharing a cover with LC wasn't enough):

HEIDI MONTAG GOT HER OWN COVER!!!!!!!


Omg, that's lyke totally sad ~*Hil*~...

I think you need a new boyfriend (MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA) and I nominate Shia Labeouf, he may be a douche but he's sexier than Mike Comrie, and would definately boost your stock in Hollywood and then you could become friends with Megan Fox and lyke totally talk shit about ~*Linds*~, YES PLEASE!

Do it girl! 'Cause apparently, you're not that famous anymore...

PLAGIARISM

Apparently, people over at the Washington Ovechkins have been reading my blog. Now you're probably wondering, 'Nicole how could you be so arrogant to assume such a thing?' I'll tell you why because the NHL sucks at advertising!

Sure it works on those who are ALREADY hockey fans but when you're trying to reach those outside the NHL fanbase, using the Hansen Brothers just doesn't cut it! They'll just think, those people over at the NHL sure are nice people to allow the 'special' hockey team be the stick boys for a day or two, then they'll get back to their NFL game.

I think its quite obvious that the NHL has a little trouble with thinking outside the box in terms of advertising so I find it really hard to believe that the Washington Ovechkins came up with this marketing campaign all by their lonesome especially, when I wrote about nearly a year ago...

What is this new campaign, you ask? Well its NHL players as rock starz...I know, I KNOW! Its quite obvious I've been ripped off! But don't worry I'm not mad...I'm acutally kind of proud. Proud that they thought of something that could relate to everyone. Proud that they chose Ovie as the lead singer and proud that me a student from Canada came up with an idea that an advertising firm paid millions of dollars a year, had to rip off because they couldn't come up with anything better...

ON TO THE GUERRILLA FOOTAGE...

Girl, you can do better

I know you'd never guess, because of this...and this...AND this but I like Hilary Duff. Not because I think she's a good role model (I don't believe in celebrities being role models for anything or anyone) or because she's a good actress/singer (because she's not) but because she's likable and because I haven't seen her vagina and she has that Valentino bag I want (now you know what to get me for Christmas ~*Hil*~). I just really dislike her boyfriend and the annoying slags that claim to be her friend. Its kind of like that friend you stop talking to because you can't stand their boyfriend well its the same with ~*Hil*~.

Am I the only one who thinks she can do a lot better. Doesn't she deserve someone better than a stumpy, 28 year old, mediocre hockey player, who has 5 years left in the league, if that? Elisha's got Dion, who's one of the top players in the league. Rachel Hunter bagged Jarret Stoll. Hilary, even Willa Ford did better than you did.

You're a bonafide celeb and you're telling me you can't do better than, Mike Comrie??????

Now I say this as a friend...BITCH, PLEASE!





~*Hil*~ being cute:

I know that hockey games can be intense ~*Hil*~ but it is only an Islanders game, its not that serious...

~*Hil*~ says: Wtf Mikey?
Indeed, that is your bf getting manhandled by Nigel Dawes

Yes, ~*Hil*~, this is what we call a Hockey fan

Oh you noticed too, eh? This is a Staal brother ~*Hil*~. Good looking, talented, a cup contender, sweet small town boy AKA not you're type at all

HOT DAMN!

-Ovechkin-Boudreau 08? I'm all over that!
-Chris Clark totally was a nerd back when he was like 13/14 possibly even 15. Trust me I know these things!
-Brooks Laich, oh Brooks Laich. So handsome. So sexy. Gotta love the look on his face; he's excited, he doesn't know what's going on but he's excited. Am I the only one who noticed he was flirting with the camera? He knew I was going to watch that's why, heh...
-Backstrom is clearly having the time of his life, male modeling it up for the camera.
-Why is Jose Theodore there and not Mike Green? He's been on the Caps all of 5 minutes. Oh and he was touched my that incurable, highly contagious, bleeding from every orifice, disease. Ah shit, there goes their season...

What is this Fuckery?

Now I'm not against cover songs at.all. In fact there are some cover songs I rather enjoy almost as much as the original. I love Johnny Cash's 'Hurt'! Ben Folds' reimagination of 'Bitches ain't Shit' is genius and Nouvelle Vague's...everything, is amazing! But King of the Rodeo? Done via big band, jazzy, female vocals? Uhhh I don't think so!



They all seem to be having a bitchin' time all up in that video, SO happy! BUT this version is just not working. The sound is good, the vocals are good, the instrumentals are good its just...well maybe I am a little biased, since king of the rodeo is one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands BUT its just not working here.

Am I wrong?


PS here's the original:

Welcome to Toronto, Dad!

My delinquent little brother, the Toronto Maple Leafs, blew a 2 goal lead the other night, of course the media wanted answers!

Why? How could this happen? How could this happen to the Toronto Maple Leafs who are going to make the playoffs, who are going to win the cup? they're going all the way, don't you know?

So my new Dad, Ron Wilson, gave a little reality check for the media, and I quote:

"we're not going to win the Stanley cup this season, how's that for news?"

Don't worry Dad this won't be the last of the 'asinine' questions hurled at you, just you wait till the season starts.

But I must say, compared to last year, with all that dead weight, those old relics, those broken promises, my little bro isn't doing too badly so far. They're actually playing decent hockey...like all of them, not just Vesa Toskala.

I was right (as per usual it seems) all Toronto needed was some fresh blood to reboot things. Like my real brother said, Toronto's top line players, on any other team in the NHL would be 3rd liners at best, you know its bad when...

So now we've got a crop of new talent to look forward to. Moore looks promising, as does Schenn, and Earl's been carrying on what he did at the end of last season and that's playing good hockey.

I know its only preseason, and some of these dudes won't see much action in the NHL BUT at least they're not chilling in Sweden taking up cap space OR scoring on their own net! See guys things are looking up already!

However, we're still not winning the cup this season. The truth, it hurts!

Paul Newman, Legend.

1925-2008

Amazing. A Legend. A True Gentleman. The man to which I compare all men. This is the end of an era, no time after this will there ever be a man like Paul Newman and we should all be sorry for it. An icon is now at peace.

SPOTTED Nathan Followill hanging out with Hollywood's brightest

You know what I was wondering the other day? If the Strokes and the Kings are still tight? Its been a while since they've verbaly mastur-- uh talked about each other, heh.

Nicole

Tough Love...it hurts

Who are these people???

If we're being open and honest here, which we are, I must say Caleb has yet to win me back. I got a leak to Only by the Night (Shut up, I'm still going to buy it, I just got a little impatient, that's all) and truth be told, compared to Youth and Young Manhood; compared to Aha Shake Heartbreak; compared to Because of the Times, Only by the Night doesn't even come close!

There are a few songs which are brilliant (i.e. Sex on Fire, Cold Desert, Crawl) but overall? It just doesn't feel like KOL at all. It sounds like they're reaching, like they're trying too hard; like First Impressions of Earth; like XY; or like *gulp* The Killers.

I know they want to be big in North America and are tired of shit bands like Fall Out Boy dominating the rock scene here and they SO deserve the success and adulation that Panic at the Disco and the Jonas Brothers get but why venture away from what made them unique, what makes them good?

Now I'm not saying that The Kings should make the same album over and over again like Kid Rock or Nickleback, in fact I've enjoyed their evolution from Youth and Young Manhood to Because of the Times. It felt right but Only by the Night doesn't feel right, it feels forced, it feels...disingenuous.

Come back to this. Come back to us. Come back to me.

All albums before, hover between 5/5 - 4/5 but Only by the Night is a 3/5 at best...and that hurts to say, like you don't even know!

Even though I'm not feeling this album, even though I haven't fallen in love with it like every album before, I'll still buy it. I'll still see them in concert, support them, love them, and they'll still be my top artist on my last.fm! because that's what love's all about.

I might have to file divorce papers but I'll still love the Kings, and I hope that the album after this one is truly great and blows everyone out of the water but for now, I'll sit in the back drinking my gin n' tonic, bobbing my head, being supportive but not in love.


The good ole days:

Best Kings of Leon Video to date!

The boys talk about their balls, sperm and 'Look who's Talking'...with their mom!



I would post the other ones but they feature that home wrecking 'model' Lily Aldridge. Ugh, did you know that she's one degree away from that highly contagious bleeding from every orifice disease? That means Caleb is two degrees away from that virus! THAT means that the band is three degrees away from Ebola's bastard child!

Maybe that's why Only by the Night is so...off but that's a different post.

Oh Caleb, what have you done?

Kings of Leon: WASSUP!?!?!

Ummm...



(from left to right: Lumber Jack, Cheesy 80s record producer, random dude, and a lost boy)

I hate to be so hard on my boys, they do look good, but, with the exception of Nathan, where'd all the hair go? The beautiful I don't give a fuck hair?!?!

Matt and Jared are totally male modeling it up for the camera BUT Jared, Michael Jared Followill, your look so reminds me of another Michael, a Michael, that was once a lost boy:



am I wrong?

A Rick Nash Picture Moment

Today's Theme: Rick Nash looking damn fine while being a gamer nerd




Rick Nash's fashion sense hovers just above Sidney Crosby's which means he doesn't have any BUT that shirt with 3 buttons unbuttoned, sleeves rolled up to a 3/4 length ; those jeans with that wash, that fit; and that tan, mm mm mmmmm!

I am now reminded why Rick Nash is husband no. 5 *sigh* Strange how in a matter of months we went from this to THIS, love's funny like that...

Brooks Laich doesn't have high speed internet

Here's a video from Cabbie on the Street (one of my personal heroes), interviewing Brooks Laich, Alexander Ovechkin and some other dudes about blogs, and the ever critical eye of the hockey media.



I love how ~*Canadian*~ Brooks' accent is. It's so Captain Canuck, love it.

You know what's weird about the seteroypical ~* Canadian*~ accent? It's that it pops up out of like nowhere, there are no geographical bounds as to where you'll find it. You'll find it in Yellowknife, you'll find it in Halifax, you'll find in Victoria. It blows my mind!

I was talking to some dude at school and he had that ~*Canadian accent*~, I asked him where he was from and he replied "Toronto", now when people say they're from Toronto it could mean Parkdale or it could mean Oakville, so I ask him where in Toronto, and he replies "the beaches" which is in 'the real' Toronto not the GTA!

WTF, so crazy, eh?

The Duchess

I love Keira Knightley! Love her! I think she's gorgeous, I think she's talented, I love her sense of style, and she seems to be the type of girl I'd totally be friends with but DAMN she's been looking like death incarnate, as of late!

Remember this Keira, with (albeit small) boobs, with thighs, with shape?




Now Keira's never been a fatty by any means. She's naturally thin (that bitch!), the type of thin that if she lost ten pounds then she's look like those kids in those commercials you see at 2am pleading for donations. But it seems that since her 'thunder thigh' days, Keira has lost ten pounds (possibly more) and as a result looks like she's at death's door.



Naturally everyone said homegirl's anorexic but she's been fighting those claims tooth and nail, her mom came to her defense, denying her daughter was anorexic; she even sued a British tabloid for printing her picture along side a story of a girl who died of the disease. So what is up with Keira Knightely?

She doesn't smoke, so there goes the coffee and cigarettes diet? I really don't see someone who has the disease (especially a celebrity) denying it all.the.frigging.time. AND if she did have the disease would her mother enable her publicly? Sharman McDonald is no Dina Lohan! I highly doubt that, maybe I'm being blinded by my fondess of her but I just refuse to believe that. But something is wrong with her.


Its quite apparent she isn't in perfect health. Her hair is thinning, her boobs have disappeared into a concave chest, her arms are sticks, the jaw has become razor sharp, her head has become enlarged by the shrinking of her body below it but by no means is she obliged to tell the world what's up with her health.

Whatever is ailing her, I hope she gets better. Maybe she just needs some vitimin D and a few carbs, I don't know but I wish her all the best.

Creepin' on Brooks Laich

Unfortunately for Brooks Laich, he has become my latest player obsession. Which of course means I over analyze his wardrobe, foot wear, musical taste, use of product in his hair...oh and the way he plays (I guess).

I don't care if its creepy or not I've watched this video a few thousand times...SHUT UP, if you were invited into Brooks Laich's bedroom, could you say no? I don't think so!

I think its cute that Brooks Laich mucks about with my ~*dream boyfriend*~ Mike Green and I love how they're so serious when rocking out, like its srs bzn! But was Baby Blue Sound Crew a shout out to the Canadian hip-hop group or was it a tongue in cheek critique on their lame name. I'm hoping it was the former, because being a Canadian artist is hard enough let alone a Canadian hip-hop artist. Hopefully, they're not haters, 'cause that's MY job boys!

Heeeeeey them and the bubble gum gang could tour together, I'd totally be a member of their street team, wouldn't you?



PS what kind of twat would reject flowers from Brooks Laich, regardless of the fact that its quite obvious he bought them at a grocery store...unless she was playing hard to get, then I say, play on girl! Play on!

Kings of Leon Home Video: Making Fun of Matthew

Poor Matthew BUT Jared is hilarious. I love it when Matt and Caleb are on the motorcycle and Caleb's running his hand through Matt's hair, oh wow, them boys sure are funny!

Kings of Leon Home Videos

NO, you pervs! Not those kind of home videos!

ANYWAYS, in preparation of the realease of only by the night, the kings have decided to let their perverted dedicated fans take a glimpse into their recording process and hopefully grab a few new fans along the way.

Am glad, they've finally realized the power of the internet. They may not be big here in North America but cyber space has no bounds, people, its universal; we get to see what those lucky buggers across the pond get to see.



Caleb saving himself for marriage? Who knew? LOL!

Sex on Fire

Hottest.Video.EVER.


Sex On Fire


Are you satisfied? I'm satisfied!

Brooks Laich likes to keep it real!

Here's Brooks Laich being all sweaty, and handsome n' stuff!

Not only is he damn fine but his answers are engaging, and not from 'the hockey handbook of cliched answers to give to the media'. He gets in there and answers the questions and he's kind of like a man possessed in one of the interviews. LOVE IT!

Why haven't I done a Caps DMK ?










PS Brooks, as you recall I wanted the Caps to go all the way! Just remember that, you know when I stalk wait for you outside the ACC when y'all come to Toronto

PPS Him and Chris Clark could be brothers, non?

PPPS Whoa its like Caps week here on Death of a Trend

Who watches the watcmen?

Remember this nerdy post?

Well I went ahead and bought 'Watchmen', a book complied of every issue of the series. I got the book last Wednesday and last night I finished it.

Yes, withing 7 days I've finished the entire series, and damn was it ever good.

Do you want to know how good it was? Well, I, someone who's not used to reading graphic novels, didn't really pay attention to the images but paid most of my attention to the dialouge, and if this were not a graphic novel, it would be an amazing piece of literature and would probably be more widely recognized...more so than it is now.

The most interesting of the masked avengers, were the most sinister: Roscarcsh, who was clearly a sociopath and The Comedian who, despite his actions, was a result of the dark times he was living in.

The female superheros, like most of the comic book world, were whiny, over sexualized and annoying. Although Silk Spectre II did serve an important function...a function that could have easily been filled by any female character, Moore, created but she severed it nonetheless.

Dr. Manhattan, was of course my favourite because he was hot and could walk through walls and build a compound on Mars with his mind alone. A man with looks and brains, who'da thunk it?

I'm kind of, madly in love with this book. It was relevant in the 80s and its relevant now, 'cept we don't have a team of crime fighting vigilantes with a supernatural being, so I guess we'll have to save the world all by our lonesome...


am sooooooooo excited for this movie!!!!!!!!

Always on my mind...

Never mind the fact that its August, hockey and the NHL are still in my subconscious.

Last night I had a dream that Washinton Ovechkins', Mike Green was my boyfriend. We just started going out and I still felt weird when I kissed him. I was freaking out inside about how long would we last. I kept thinking "in a year will we still be together?"

When I woke up and just kept asking myself, why Mike Green? I mean he's, aight but he's no Brooks Laich, hubba hubba.

Oh hai thar!

So the gossip world is going nuts over whether or not the Duff is engaged to New York Islander's Douche, Mike Comrie...except that she's not.

The ring she was seen with was not an engagement type of ring, if and when the time comes, Mike can afford something with a little more ice, ya know what I mean?

Hilary is a smart girl (or maybe her handlers are smart) because this girl has been in the game since childhood, she knows how to play, and she knows how to play it well. These days everyone's getting engaged, and having babies, and in Hollywood, that equates to endorsements and box office sales. ~*Hil*~ has a bunch of movies coming out, and will soon be releasing another greatest hits album (although I can't really figure out why), leaving Hollywood records and wants to continue on with her music career with another record company(why, oh god, why?), so she needs support, she needs people to buy her albums and tickets to her movies, she needs people to care about her because as it stands no one really cares about Hilary Duff.



Why would you pay attention to the Duff's grocery shopping routine when you can pay attention to Lindsay Lohan's hot lesbian affair or watch Ashlee Simpson's bump grow or fantasize over Blake Lively and Pen Badgley's relationship or guess which Jonas brother's done the dirty deed. Hell even Suri Cruise is waaaaay more interesting! Hilary's relevance is fading fast, and she knows it! That's why she's been working the red carpet with her ape boyfriend on her arm. But like I said, ~*Hil*~ is smart, she doesn't want to break away from her good girl image (whether that image is a true reflection of her, well, that's another story), so what do you do when the 'no panty upskirt' is out of the question, and pregnancy rumors are not an option? Why, you play the blushing-bride-to-be card, of course!



So smart!

Notice how there hasn't been any confirmations or rebuttals. ~*Hil*~ knows how this game works! Look, even I'm talking about it! We're starting to care guys, and we'll start to buy her albums, and go watch her movies, and sooner or later she'll be on par with Blake Lively and Lindsay Lohan. Just you watch guys! The media is a lot like politics...maybe that's why I love it so much!

But having said that, no one will care about ~*Hil*~ like we do about Britney, or Lindsay, or [presently] Sienna Miller. Scandal sells more than cotton candy clouds and happily ever after, that's why Hilary will always be 2nd fiddle, be in B-grade movies (at best), and never break any kind of record with her music (commercial or critical).

Will there be a wedding with Mike and ~*Hil*~? I wouldn't discount it, this girl did go out with Joel Madden for 2 yrs, and before that there was Aaron Carter. But I don't think it will be anytime soon.

I still think the Duff can do better than this loser, sure he's a pro athlete and comes from money but he's a huge douche, a so-so hockey player and is the 2nd son born to Bill Comrie, which means he isn't the heir apparent, which means he's 2nd in line, which means Paul will probably inherit mostly if not all of Bill's fortune and then sell the shares and make a shit load of money...looks like you chose the wrong brother ~*Hil*~.

Eye Candy of the Day: Brooks Laich

While we wait for Mats Sundin to sign with a team and for Sidney Crosby to move out of his parents Mario's house, let's bask in the manly hotness that is Brooks Laich.

SO fine!

I loved you but I left you but I still love you...ok that's not confusing at all

Fight scene: Who's That Girl by Robyn

Kings of Leon are back my friends!!!!!!! They're new single Sex on Fire, is...well sex!

'You're sex is on fiiiiiiiiire'


I think its official guys, I've formally forgiven Caleb for this little stumble. Philandering with a no-name model will not shatter our love. We're stronger than this. And could you say no to a guy who wrote a song called 'sex on fire'? I think not. Oh Caleb Followill if you are my prince charming there must be something seriously wrong with me but I DON'T CARE WHAT NOBODY SAYS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!!!!!!




PS They're coming to Toronto on November 7th! I'm there! Front AND centre.



Le Roi est mort, vie les Roi de Léon!!!!!!!!!

You wanna know how I know you're gay?

UM way to rip off one of the greatest videos of one of the greatest bands ever!


Sorry boys you'll never be Depeche Mode:



Don't get me wrong this is a good song and I rather like it but this song was meant to be good; it was meant to be a certain type of song; like a Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington movie, its meant to win a million Oscars and a million hearts all in one shot.

Coldplay you try too hard, no wonder Thome Yorke hates you...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Be your own pet, my favourite 'lose your shit' band has disbanded. I'm sooooo upset, I really enjoyed their music! Hell they even wrote a song about Zombies, how amazing is that?????? Plus their videos were kick ass. They were just full of awesome.

Well at least Jonas, has more free time to get into my pants, eh? eh? Yea I know, bad joke but I'm so upset :(




PS they are responsible for one of my favourite lines EVER: "I was your shot gun buy you never got to cock it!" OH SNAP!

ABOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Found Glory + Simple Minds Cover + JC Penny + Breakfast Club ode Rip-off = WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT????????




I'm totally offended right now! Don't even talk to me...I mean it!!!!!

Sickest Movie Ever?

Justification:
-They already have a kick ass story; Allan Moore's 'The Watchmen' was an epic untouchable masterpiece

-They have a talented director in Zack Snyder. Ok so 300 was kind of cheesy and inaccurate but honestly, have you seen anything like it before. The visuals were effing brilliant! It was NUTZ!

-How relevant is this movie, right now?


So this could possibly be the SICKEST MOVIE EVER:




The world will look up and shout 'save us!' and I'll whisper 'no'.



This could possibly usurp, 'The Last of the Mohicans' as my all time favourite movie...and it isn't even out yet!

Best.Photo.EVER.

Heidi, doesn't look that bad here...almost pretty but she'll never be as pretty as she used to be:

I miss this Heidi...as much as I can miss a person whom I've never met, lol.

My Love For You Will Still Be Strong After The Boys of Summer Have Gone

My summer's been waaaay to hectic for me to keep up with the wheelings and dealings of the NHL. I may post here and there but for the most part I'm on vacation. So boys, its been a great season, and this is a long time coming but, I'll see you in October!

Kings of Leon, Kings of my Heart

This is such a great photo but its kind of sad, like they're saying goodbye.

Happy Canada Day Y'all!!!!!!!

Happy 141st birthday Canada!!!!! And if I weren't suffering from the effects of heat stroke I'd totally be getting sloshed right now!
