People's sexiest man alive choice...

Image
...yes it's been a while!....can't explain....loads of stuff!! What gets me going today is my 110% agreement with People's sexiest man alive choice ! Hot, talented, and loyal! Three HUGE OMG's for me....not sure about other females! I'm a weird cookie, so what I think may not be the average female status-quo! We share the same birth date which is SO cool! (not the year...thank God!) :P But, the only other thing I would add to what I'm attracted to...a man's mind! Is he smart? Not just book smart but street smart....both are HUGE turn-ons! I was always more attracted to the nerds than the jocks....The jocks just made for better prom/Sadie Hawkins pictures and that made mom more happy!! (*grin*) AND if the 'nerd' is HOT? That's an added bonus!!! WOW!! But the most important turn on (for me) is a man loyal and devoted to one woman! THAT'S SO FRIGGIN' SEXY and HOT!!! Especially for the woman to which he is loyal and devoted to!!! At least tha

New Kids on the WHOA!

A new and quite intriguing friend of mine jokingly gave me an article on the newly re-united (did they ever break-up?) boy band I so loved in my tweens, NKOTB or New Kids on the Block. I didn’t expect a rave review…no…rather their “re-uniting” smelled of desperation (notice I didn’t say “reeked with”). But really now, the boys…now men…do deserve some kudos for getting back on the stage…together! For you see from my now learn-ed view of that music era that their overproduced pop no-talent sound had some meaning in my tweeny life! Most of us have those shallow moments of youth. (Okay, we all do and there are a lot of ‘em!) You know, those moments of hormonally driven feelings that further encourage sexually curious brainwaves. And who better for our parents to swoon over? Some guys we’ll never be able to have! (Talk amongst yourselves!) But after all this time to come back on stage and reunite? Hmmm…not sure whose idea it was, but if I were in the room, I’d have a different type of reuni

SAG-TV

If you want to know the actors' side of negotiations SAG is doing a great job at our website! www.sag.org . In particular, check out the awesome job that Doug Allen did talking about the Negotiations process update on SAG-TV: http://www.sag.org/sag-tv Also, watch Alan Rosenberg as he talks about the suspension! I think he's doing a FANTASTIC job as president!! This is a great way for us to stay connected with our guild! There is still a LOT to be done!!

AMPTP Suspends Negotiations with Screen Actors Guild

This was just emailed to all of the SAG members! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AMPTP Suspends Negotiations with Screen Actors Guild Guild Offers to Continue and Negotiate "Around the Clock" to Complete Deal Los Angeles, May 6, 2008 -The AMPTP suspended negotiations with Screen Actors Guild today over the objections of SAG's negotiating committee. The committee had urged that the AMPTP continue discussion and had offered to negotiate around the clock if necessary in order to secure an agreement. The AMPTP declined to continue negotiations with SAG claiming that it was necessary to turn their attention to negotiating with American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). Screen Actors Guild National President Alan Rosenberg said, "It is unfortunate and deeply troubling that the AMPTP would suspend our negotiations at this critical juncture. We have modified our proposals over the last three weeks in effort to bargain a fair contract for our members. We are committed

The Leona effect!

She is absolutely the best pop vocalist I have ever heard! Raw talent, hands down! Unbelievably amazing! Even when she's ill she sounds better that most of the pop divas of the day at their best! Who an I talking about? Leona Lewis! winner of the The X Factor!! (Simon's UK version of an Idol competition) I first heard of her on a Yahoo rss feed and didn't think much about it! Some new singer touted to be the "next best thing" is constantly in our foreground as the music industry attempts to discover the next new music-pop-culture phenomenon! The next is when my [vocal] student Rachel went on and on about how awesome she is! [Understand that Rachel currently goes to an Arkansas magnet school where she is exposed to a LOT more culture than most young women in the south.] So in my free time I began to follow her [Rachel's] advice and YouTube her! And I was SIMPLY AMAZED!! Not only was she a powerhouse vocalist she was unusually humble (and not falsely so)! Whic

I can barely stomach ripe bananas! Seriously!! When I crave a banana it's ALWYS  a green one! And I always get the same quote, "Green bananas will make your stomach hurt!" Ha!

How Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy's Son Recovered From Autism

Image
Saw this and was VERY interested! Although there is no autism in my family, the idea that a pediatric vaccines could trigger a predisposition is frightening! Got the email from Dr. Mercola! How Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy's Son Recovered From Autism In this CNN op-ed piece, actors Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy reflect on their son’s recovery from autism in light of the recent federal court decision which conceded that vaccines could have contributed to another child’s autistic condition. Carrey and McCarthy’s son, Evan, has been healed thanks to breakthroughs that may not be scientifically proven, but have definitely helped, such as a gluten-free, casein-free diet, vitamin supplementation, detox of metals, and anti-fungals for the yeast overgrowths that plagued his intestines. Once his neurological function was recovered through these medical treatments, speech therapy and applied behavior analysis helped him learn the skills he could not learn wh

Charlton Heston Dead! :(

I just got this from a friend! It's weird! I met him and sang for him!! He was SUCH an awesome guy!! He even posed for a picture with me!!! Here's that email: I just picked up on this and wanted to make it known. I had sent a Christmas card to Mr. Heston in 2006 with an explanation of how we might wish him to play a small role in the film series we are trying to make happen this year. It seems so long ago so much has happened since, but I do remember getting a response back. One of our group actually played a role with Charlton. We discussed that several years ago. Charlton Heston dead at 84 Charlton Heston, who won the 1959 best actor Oscar as the chariot-racing "Ben-Hur" and portrayed Moses, Michelangelo, El Cid and other heroic figures in movie epics of the '50s and '60s, has died. He was 84. The actor died Saturday night at his home in Beverly Hills with his wife Lydia at his side, family spokesman Bill Powers said. Powers declined to comment on the cause

Clooney -Core

Okay, I'm in the dark! Had no idea Clooney went fi-core last fall!! So why was he coming out as one of the "powerhouses" to encourage SAG not to strike in June? Hmmmmm............ . Well, he's got an Oscar so he can do what he wants. WAIT!! He went fi-core with the WGA!!! Wow!!! I guess the WGA has more power than SAG! Read the article to see WHY I say that!!!!! Okay...now I feel sorry for George!! Heck it sounds like he rewrote the script completely!! So he doesn't get credit for that?? That's NOT RIGHT!!! http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117983462.html?categoryid=13&cs=1&nid=2563
