I suppose it was just a matter of time, being the hard-to-please bitch that I am.
This is JGL, obviously, performing the legendary Beatles song, 'Hey Jude', at the Sundance Film Festival. It happened just last night. And it apparently wasn't an accident, either. Good old Joseph filmed a YouTube video back in December (a really, really excited YouTube video) stating that he'd be there, and how much it meant to him to have the invitation extended. Check it out:
So, OK. He's a happy little guy. He's enthusiastic and optimistic and those are two traits that I generally like in a person. There's nothing worse than someone famous who tries to pretend that they're not famous when you just know that they get their rocks off on knowing how famous they actually are, and I don't think JGL is like that. At least I hope not, otherwise I'm becoming a really shitty judge of character.
The performance wasn't horrible, and I shouldn't judge too hard, because it really wasn't all that bad. Honestly. I'm just glad he didn't go for the "Hey Jude-y, Jude-y, Jude-y, Jude-y, Jude-y, WHAAAAA" because that would have been just ... even more bad. And there's not a whole lot of bad that I can take when it comes to Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I like boyfriend here a lot - I really think he's just a doll - but contrived performances for the sake of contrived performances can easily waffle above that fine line between "endearing and hot weirdo" and "annoying and hot bad-hipster."
Don't cross it, brother. />

So, I said yesterday that the 911 call featuring Demi's rescuers would be sent out to the 'net for all of the public's listening pleasure, and it has been. I haven't listened to it. And if you want to listen to it, it's out there, but you're not going to find it here - at least from me - because like I said, I think it's weird. Morbid might be a better word. Like, that one website, Rotten.com? God do I hate that website. There's such bizarre stuff on there, and I think certain things are better left unheard or unseen (nu...

As LeAnn Rimes’ one-year wedding anniversary with husband Eddie Cibrian approaches, she is eager to give him the best gift ever – a baby. In fact, LeAnn wants to have a child with Eddie – who has two sons, Mason and Jake, with ex-wife Brandi Glanville – more than anything in the world.
But LeAnn is already struggling to overcome a major roadblack: “She doesn’t want to gain the weight!” a source reveals to In Touch. The reason? A size 0, LeAnn is afraid th...
Well that's kind of a cocktease, now, isn't it? And speaking of random cockteases, did you know that there's a female celebrity out there whose real last name is 'Cockburn'? I mean, LOL! How funny is that! I actually just found that out today when I was looking for a picture to run with the morning link roundup. If you noticed the photo on that particular post, you'll see that it's of Olivia Wilde. Whose, yes, actual last name is 'Cockburn'.
Now, there are so, so many ways I can make fun of that, and I'd like to - I'd really, really like to, in another place, and another time - but this slot today isn't supposed to be about Olivia Wilde. It's supposed to be about Matthew Broderick. And how he's doing something Ferris Bueller-related for a Super Bowl commercial this year. I think it's a pretty neat concept, considering it's really the thing that made him famous and kept him famous after all these years (aside from marrying that miserable bitch Sarah Jessica Parker, of course), but I'm hoping it's that he's going to come out as a gay Ferris Bueller, because I'll tell you: the movie was on just this past weekend and after watching it, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind how gay Matthew Broderick was. And oh, right. Is. />

See, this is the musical side of Miley that I just love. LOVE.
This is Miley's take on Bob Dylan's Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International, and frankly, it's f-cking wonderful. I could listen to her version of this song AT LEAST another three times before I got sick of it.
The project, as noted in the CD's title, celebrates Amnesty International, and all purchases are directly donated to AI:
In January 1961, on a cold snowy evening in Greenwich Village, a twenty-year-old Bob Dylan, fresh out of Minnesota, began his professional career in earnest playing at a hole-in-the-wall coffee house. A few months later, the British lawyer Peter Benenson and some friends in London launched the campaign that became Amnesty International.
It was a coincidence. Yet from the start, Dylan’s artistic work and Amnesty’s political work drew on a common sensibility that ultimately changed the world.
For half a century, Amnesty has pressed to secure the fundamental human rights of the persecuted and imprisoned across the globe. Over that same half century, Dylan’s art has explored and expressed the anguish and hope of the modern human condition.
Chimes of Freedom is dedicated to people worldwide who are unjustly imprisoned or threatened for the peaceful expression of their beliefs.
Good cause, yes? You've also got the option of purchasing single tracks, or the entire album, which is priced at a reasonable $24.99. And that's great. But can we talk a second about Miley and how *good* she actually is at the whole music thing when she tries, and she's not all glitter and black leather and heaving and grinding and tongue-lolling? I mean, this is a chick that we might actually be able to take seriously one day, especially if she keeps churning out music (OK, mostly covers) like this one here. />

So, I already like this preview because of the grandpa-voice that's narrating it. Doesn't that just completely sell you on it, too? Who doesn't have a soft spot in their hearts for good old movie-narrating grandpa that's just a decibel away from being the scary-movie preview-announcer guy?
The film looks great, and Julia Roberts will probably be epic in this role, but Lily Collins' portrayal of Snow White, however, is mad cheesy. She's just so "tee-hee" and "who me?" and before you get all crazy and say, "DUH, Sarah, it's Snow White, what's she supposed to be like?", I'm going to stop you and respond that you're absolutely right. 100% undeniably correct. And maybe that makes her perfect for this role, I don't know. But then again, the original Disney Snow White character pissed me off, too, because she was way too big of a goody-goody, and maybe my childhood prejudices about miscast animated feature characters has lived with me these twenty-eight years on earth. It wouldn't be the first time something like that's happened, you know.

Remember her? Oh I do. I always had such a girl-crush on her, pretty much my entire life. She always seemed so sweet and pretty and salt-of-the-earth. Lovely little Liv Tyler. Plus, that ultra-feminine, super-breathy voice. She killed it. I loved that. And that's coming from someone who has more of a "man"-voice like Scarlett Johansson. And if you've never heard Scarlett Johansson actually speak, here's your chance:
It's kind of like that. So naturally, you always envy that which you do not...
Wow. Wowwowwow. So bad. Snooki: so bad. If you didn't watch the video, I'll spare you the gory details and just say that Snooki is so excited, and she just can't hide it, over Zantrex-3's fat-burning pills. Because yes, though she said in the past that her weight loss was all natural and had nothing to do with anything aside from good old-fashioned eating better, cutting out booze, exercising, and drinking tons of water, she's finally come clean and
fulfilled her contract with endorsed Zantrex-3 with open arms.
Still not sure what Zantrex-3 is? It's more or less a caffeine pill laced with fancy-sounding herbs. It's kind of like living on a diet of Vivarin and green tea, and probably not much else. Wanna hear the potential side-effects of taking Zantrex-3? Well, shoot, OK!:
Cardiovascular
Zantrex-3 has several potential cardiovascular side effects. Specifically, this supplement may increase heart rate and cause irregular heartbeats or palpitations. Additionally, an increase in blood pressure may result. If you have a medical history of cardiovascular disease, you should not take this supplement because of the stimulant effects of caffeine. In general, people taking this supplement should reduce or limit their intake of caffeinated beverages to avoid potential side effects.
Gastrointestinal
The caffeine in Zantrex-3 may lead to gastrointestinal problems, such as nausea and vomiting, decreased appetite, diarrhea and general stomach discomfort. Such side effects may subside, but do not ignore these symptoms if they persist; for example, continued diarrhea can lead to dehydration. Seek medical attention if any of these effects persist.
Urological
Caffeine can act as a mild diuretic, so Zantrex-3 may increase frequency of urine output. Consequently, individuals with a medical history of kidney disease or renal problems should consult a physician before taking this supplement.
Psychological
The high amount of caffeine present in this substance may produce effects that involve nervousness with jitters, sleep problems and irritability. Changes in mood may occur as well as increased feelings of anxiety or panic. Individuals with anxiety or mood disorders should check with a physician before taking Zantrex-3.
Well all that just sounds awesome, doesn't it? Irritability, excessive peeing, nausea, vomiting, general stomach discomfort. Honestly, Snooki may as well go ahead and get pregnant, since she's so used to the symptoms, right? You know what's scarier than a Snooki all amped up on glorified caffeine pills? Pregnant Snooki all amped up on glorified caffeine pills.
I shudder at the thought. Please, Zantrex-3, let's maybe find out down the road that excessive use of your product results in the possibility of sterilization, OK? At least in this case? />
