I want to be Wade Robson when I grow up…or at least know him.  He is so completely quirky, brilliant and fun.  I love to watch his choreography.  On SYTYCD last night I was just lamenting that we had only seen him once so far this season, when along came a new Wade Robson routine!  It was totally brilliant.  The way he had the dancers move, so that they were almost like cartoon characters, and they were so fluid, yet so sharp.  It was inspirational.  He really is the most amazing choreographer, and any dancer must just be soooo thrilled to learn he is going to be working with Wade.  Wade, you are my hero.

Happy Birthday to Robert Pattinson!

Just for fun today…my favourite five male movie actors to look at – and let’s be honest, this list changes daily   And I specify movie actors, because of course there is an entirely different tv list .

5.  Johnny Depp – Every movie is good with Johnny Depp in it – and every woman I know thinks he is hot!

I just heard the news about Natasha Richardson.  What incredibly sad news!   My heart goes out to her family and loved ones.  I can’t even imagine the pain they are in right now.  I hope she pulls through and recovers from this serious injury.

I pledge to wear a helmet next time I go skiing.  I always make my children wear helmets when biking, skating etc…but I am usually not wearing one myself.  I promise from now on I will take the extra two minutes and put my helmet on too.

Update March 19 – Sadly, Natasha did not make it and has passed away.  My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and loved ones.

Bradley Cooper was added to my list of favourite tv fellas the first time I saw him in Alias.  Will was wonderful, loyal and yes, cute too.  I adored his character and have made a point of following his career since the show ended.  He was on Jack & Bobby, made us giggle in Wedding Crashers, starred in Kitchen Confidential – which I LOVED, but apparently was the only one who watched as it didn’t last long.  Suddenly he has a string of movies, Yes Man, He’s Just Not That Into You and All About Steve.

I am thrilled to see him doing so well!  I just saw HJNTIY this weekend and it was really fun.  Bradley Cooper went from very cute boy next door on Alias to leading man good looks in this movie.  There is one scene where Scarlett Johansson comments on his killer smile and really, she was right.  Suddenly he is all tanned and super built, with a killer smile and his stunning eyes seemed extra blue.  I really enjoyed him in this film and am already looking forward to the release of All About Steve…yea for Bradley Cooper!

I don’t know about you, but I needed this:

Perez Hilton has this yummy picture posted on his blog this morning…what a nice way to wake up!

And while we are at it…he posted this one a few days ago…

It probably isn’t real, but I don’t really care   My Edward looks ridiculously hot.  Enjoy your day!

Here is a story from my youth that I was thinking about last night as the name David Lee Roth came up in conversation…don’t you talk about him all the time too?

When I was in elementary school – not sure what grade but probably grade 5 or 6, I can clearly remember lining up at the door of the classroom, getting ready to go outside for recess.  I was standing with 3 other girls, who started talking about Van Halen.  I immediately thought aha!  Here is my chance to display my superior knowledge thanks to my older brother.  I said, “I have their record.  I love the singer the best, he is so cute.”  At which point my friends, all three, said “you mean the guitarist.”  Being incredibly stubborn I said, “No the singer.”  They looked at me doubtfully and said, “but the guitarist is the cute one.”  I shook my head and said, “No way, the singer is way cuter.”

After school I rushed home and pulled out my brother’s record and  checked out the picture.  Oops!  The guitarist was the cute one, the lead singer was okay, but not nearly as cute as the guitarist.  At that point I had two choices, I could go and admit to my friends I got it wrong and that I did like the guitarist, or  I could become the hugest David Lee Roth fan ever.

I became the hugest David Lee Roth fan ever.  Still am actually.  I plastered my bedroom with pictures of him and was staunchly Team David when the band broke up.  I saw his solo concerts each tour and bought all his records.  I even still google him every now and then to see what he is up to.

This story is a great summary of my personality – I am incredibly stubborn and incredibly loyal

I read this quote the other day from Lady Gaga:

Lady Gaga has responded to a series inflammatory comments thrown her way by Christina Aguilera with a dose of ice-cold dismissal.

In a recent interview the singer was asked about the bitchy comments made by Christina Aguilera, who said in an interview she didn’t “know if [Lady Gaga] is a man or a woman”.

“I don’t take offense to it. I’m inspired by androgyny and David Bowie and Grace Jones,” said Lady Gaga.

“I don’t have a ‘look’. I dress like this all the time. I have no enemies.”

———-

I am not a huge Lady Gaga fan, I don’t know much about her other than the song she out right now “Just Dance”, which I like.  But I love her attitude in this quote.  She could have been malicious or mean or snarky, but instead she said “I have no enemies.”  What a beautiful statement.  She completely defused the situation with Christina and frankly is an example to other celebrities everywhere on how to respond to rumours etc…  She even inspired me to think about that statement and adopt it as my own. I am going to try to go forward with that thought in mind – I have no enemies.  If even half the population did that it would be a much nicer world wouldn’t it?  Good for you Lady Gaga!

Amy Winehouse is in such bad shape she is making Britney Spears’ meltdown last year look like model behaviour.  Here is a picture that I saw of her today on Perez Hilton’s page.  We have watched this beautiful, talented woman completely destroy herself over the last year, and no one is doing anything about it.  This woman obviously has a very severe addiction and will not last much longer the way she is currently living.  I cannot understand why her family/loved ones are not committing her somewhere to ensure she gets some help.  I feel so awful for this poor young woman and am horrified with what is becoming of her.  I pray for her and hope she soon gets the help she very obviously needs.

If you watch So You Think You Can Dance then you know who Mia Michaels is.  I want to be Mia Michaels.  I think she is brilliant, funny, talented beyond belief, quirky, original and kind.  Her choreography makes every dancer look like a genius. I honestly wonder if she choreographed something for me, if I too would look wonderful.  I doubt it, as up to this point my choreography consists of sitting on the couch 1, 2, grab the remote, 3, 4 eat some popcorn 5, 6…you get my gist.   But if anyone could make me look fabulous, it is her.  I love how honest she is and how real she sounds when she talks to the dancers.  I know it sounds crazy but I think we would get along great.    Plus she has a wicked hat collection that I am extremely envious of.  So if I can’t be Mia Michaels, I would just love to know her.  Or be in the same room with her.  Here is her website…http://www.miamichaels.com/
