Shows: Taking the Stage!

Taking The Stage (On MTV) is probably my favorite show right now. Whenever I watch it, it puts a smile on my face because of a cool dance performance or a cute relationship, and then I'll cry too because someone will break up (I don't care who it is, it makes me sad because I know how much breakups suck!) or because a song someone sings is really beautiful. Now, Gossip Girl is usually at the top of my list, but in my opinion it's been lacking a little. And by the 12th or whatever season of America's Next Top Model it doesn't even keep my interest when I have nothing to do. Scrubs is hilarious and another one of my favorite shows, but in the 8th season I think the writers are running out of ideas, plus doing strange things with the characters. I still watch Gossip Girl and Scrubs faithfully, but look the most forward to Taking the Stage.

This show isn't one of those "reality" shows about spoiled rich bitches who have nothing better to do than go to a club and start drama or complain about their so called "problems" (You know who I'm talking about!). Rather, it's about people that seem so genuine, like you would want to befriend them, who deal with the everyday issues just like us. Sure, they are all extremely talented. But for me it's not something I watch and think "Those people are so annoying and bratty." I really admire them for the courage and dedication they have to practice what they love and go after their dreams. I"ll admit, I am a little jealous of people who have danced since forever and can do amazing things with their super flexible bodies (while I feel like it's almost too late for me because I'm not one of those people who have taken dancing lessons for 15 years!--ridiculous, but sometimes a little true with things like ballet--for a beginning class you would probably have to take it with 3 year olds).

I love the friendships, I love the relationships, I love watching people sing and dance inbetween. I love that the show portrays a gay couple as what they are; a real couple going through all the ups and downs that any other couple does. No one considers them "weird" or "bad" and it's not a big deal that they're two guys; it's just what it is, love.

Tonight Tyler finally broke up with Jasmine and actually cried (aww!), but seeing that it seemed that they didn't get along the entire time they were together it's probably for the best (plus he cheated on her..hello?!). Even though it was super cute at the beginning when they met and were teaching each other dance moves.

Mia finally got over Tyler...so she says...after having this screaming match. I actually think their fight was sexy. Is that weird? Because you could tell it wasn't out of hating each other or jealousy or any of that bad stuff it was because they want to be together but couldn't at the time. You know, one of those passionate arguments that are supposed to end with a make out session? Of course Tyler shouldn't just go running to her right after the breakup though, but I bet they would be good together. But, it doesn't matter, because Mia is "over him." And when she was singing "Heartless," you know who it was about.

Mia might give her best-guy-friend-who's-always-been-there-for-her a chance. So basically she'll have to choose between the two stereotypes: the "bad" boy who is interesting to her, but might not be good for her because if he cheated on one girl, who's to say he won't cheat on her? Or, or the "best friend" who loves her and is perfect, but maybe isn't more than a friend and if they get together it could ruin the friendship (been there, done that! it's all good..untill it's over and you lose your best friend!)

So even though Mia's supposedly done with Tyler, you know she'll probably go after him once she finds out he's single (and probably annoy the crap out of Aaron, the best guy friend). So will that be all fun and games, or will she realize he's kind of a player? Will she give Aaron a chance? We'll see.

Shows: The Hills and Their Geniuses.."Fornification" and "Putting That Down Like a Dead Dog"

Because I have such a busy, interesting life right now, I also watched the Hills. And I have a few questions for you. A few of them I even answer myself.



♥ Don't you like how these people have the money to just decide at the last minute that they feel like going to Hawaii to stalk their friends? Similarly...just showing up on someone else's vacation uninvited? At their hotel?


♥When Spencer and Heidi have this awkard and hilarious dinner with Heidi's ex and his girlfriend, she says something like "Oh Heidi you look so different than in the picture I saw. Like a different person!" Heidi stares at her and goes..."Oh should we order drinks?" Why didn't she just confidently reply "Yeah it's either the new boobs, nose, lips, or weave"?


















♥ Stephanie's suggests that maybe Audrina should hook up with Brody so she can get Justin back? Good reasoning girl, good reasoning. Good for the self esteem. And for avoiding drama. Cause no one on this show likes drama.

♥Spencer informs Heidi's ex Colby (who is waiting untill marriage) that if there was an earthquake and he died...in the earthquake?...he would die a virgin. And that if Spencer was still a virgin he would be so bored and wouldn't know what to do with himself. He then asks that if the dude dies in the aforementioned earthquake, would he be able to have sex once he got to heaven? I too, would like to know.

♥Did Heidi's ex's girlfriend (waiting till marriage cause the bible says so) really say that sex is called "fornification" in the bible ( meaning "fornication") while reading the actual bible..right in front of her? Why yes, yes she did. Maybe they should have taught her just a little bit more about "fornification?" And, giving his full attention as usual, Spencer showed his respect during the bible reading by texting the whole time.

♥Who is more mature, a 13 year old boy or Brody Jenner and his friends discussing who is getting "laid" while putting Hawaiian leis on each other?

♥ Gosh, this is so romantic. Wouldn't you just jump right into bed with someone who gave you this proposal (or whatever it was, maybe a declaration?) : "If we decided, one night, when nobody's around, late at night ... feelings are feelings?" Well, Audrina did.

♥How many times on this show can they show back and forth takes of people with these er..meaningful and intense stares that seem to just bore into one's sole? Or maybe just at someone's shoes (editing).

♥Referring to Audrina practically laying herself on a platter, Brody's friend goes "I would've put that down like a sick dog." Really??? Classy. Not sure what to think about someone who compares sex to euthanasia. But the best part is that when Brody confesses to cheating, his friends, well, they clap. Even more classy.

♥ And finally, did Audrina actually compare Jayde coming after her for sleeping with her boyfriend to "starting a war?" War. As in..you know, Iraq? Or say, WWII with the Nazis. Hmm..good metaphor.

Too harsh?

Thanks for reading anyway.

Shows: Tonight's Gossip Girl

On the latest episode of Gossip Girl we found out Gabriel is up to something with Poppy. I have to say I'm not that interested. More importantly:


♥Serena wears this outfit where it looks like she forgot her jacket. And maybe her shirt. It's kinda like a bustier, but with a high waisted skirt (unfortunately I can't find a pic of it yet). So there's one of Georgina's hair.

♥I love Georgina's long hair. Serena's is now shorter and more boring. Serena kind of is boring. But I love Blair.

♥I prefer Chuck and Blair over Nate and Blair. Much more interesting.

♥Georgina got "saved." I don't even remember the whole Georgina drama. But apparently she roofied Serena? Anyone else remember?


♥Why did Serena wait to figure out if Gabriel was lying or not until after she slept with him? (And why does her mom let her sleep at a guy's house?)


♥In case anyone was wondering, the show is still not at all like the books (though I don't remember too many details from them from when I was like 14. Or 17...whatever.) From what I do remember, it's nowhere near similar. In them, Chuck is not a big character. And is gay. And has a monkey. Jenny is supposed to be this short brunette with giant boobs. Vanessa is this artsy alternative girl with a shaved head. Dan and Serena date for like a day but Dan and Vanessa date the entire time.


♥Speaking of, when are Dan and Vanessa gonna make out?


Check out Blair's red lipstick from a few episodes ago.

Thanks for Reading.
