Quick Question

Since Hype Williams has been hitting the music video game again hard, should we take that to mean the movie thing didn't work out too well for him? He supposedly "retired" right around he left videos to do "Belly" but we all know how that went so......

I'm guessing the brief return to do New Edition's "Hot 2Nite" last year wasn't so brief after all? Seeing as he recently did Jamie Foxx's "Unpredictable", Ne-Yo's "So Sick", and LL Cool J's "Control Myself", I would think he's more open to do videos once again.

New Product Watch

So I have an "in" at Victoria's Secret beauty. Yes, yes, I know you are all getting more and more jealous of me as you read this blog. I work in entertainment, I get free CDs, I get free Vicky's Secret stuff, I'm beautiful, I'm funny, I'm talented...just joking. Well I'm not joking about being all those things, I'm just joking about flaunting them. Now then. Due to this connection, I get to try new products as soon as they come out and this one's a keeper. It's a new lip gloss they are shilling entitled "Beauty Rush" and the packaging is new and improved from their Sweet Talk line of shimmering lip glosses. This one has a fancy script font written in silver with a silver cap to match. The flavor I was given to try was Toasty Almond and can I just say "yum"? Do yourselves a favor and check these out. Your boyfriends will be thankful.

PS - If you have any products you would like me to review, drop me a line at misstlcworld@gmail.com and we'll hook it up. Holla.

Just Another Mini-Olympic Update

So Sasha ended up with the silver, Bode didn't win a damn thing, Apolo won an uncontested gold in the Men's 500m Short Track, Julia Mancuso won a gold in the Ladies' Slalom, and Belbin and Agosto won the silver in Ice Dancing.

Other Olympic highlights:

The U.S. won their first Olympic medal in curling.

The U.S. won their first medal in Men's Short Track Relay since '94.

The U.S. almost doubled their record of medals won in a foreign-held Winter Olympics (off by one).

Shani Davis became the first African-American to win an individual medal at the Winter Olympics.

Tonight is the closing ceremonies in case you are interested. If not, don't worry. I'll be back in a few days with a more serious topic that's also near and dear to my heart.

Holla.

FROM NEWSWEEK:

Kevin Federline Says There Will be 'Shock And Awe' Over his Rap Career
Sunday February 19, 4:21 pm ET

NEW YORK, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Britney Spears' celebrity husband Kevin Federline tells Newsweek that there will be the "initial shock and awe" over his brand-new thankless role: white-boy rapper. "But they've already said so much s--t about me it can't get worse. 'He hates his children, he treats his wife like dirt, he gets high all day.' If I was that bad, you think anyone, let alone Britney, would put up with it?"

Federline has already released his first single "PopoZao" (he calls it "a Brazilian a**-shaker") on his Web site, Kevinfederline.com and it got 2 million hits in eight days. "If my album has even half that attention, watch out," Federline tells Senior Writer Lorraine Ali in the February 27 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, February 20). "That means everybody out there who loves me still loves me, and everyboy out there who hates me -- well, they're secretly buying it, too."

Federline plans to release his debut -- deal or no deal -- by this spring. And he chose not to have Spears sing on the album. "We have collaborated," he says. "But I'm not gonna put the songs on this album because it's, like, 'Respect me first, then I'll show you what I've done with my wife'."

He also seems less bothered by most of the public scrutiny on him or Spears than he does when the paparazzi focus on his son. "The day we came home from the hospital," he says, "we had 40 cars behind us, and there were another 50 lining the side of the Pacific Coast Highway, all trying to get a shot inside the front window. It felt like they put a ransom on my child. OK, they didn't take my child, but they did put a price tag on his head."

Though he still manages to get out once in a while with the wife, Federline says it's not like it used to be. "Everybody crowds around. I don't have the freedom to run out on the dance floor. When my wife's there, she doesn't care. She'll run out there and she'll be, like, 'Come on!' But it's a display now. It's like, ugh, give me a bottle of Jack Daniel's and let me think about it."

Alright, alright. So we all know Federloser is famous for being a "deadbeat", a "golddigger", a "fraud", and a "sperminator" but I wasn't posting that article to try and prove that point to you. I really only wanted to post that article for three reasons.

FIRST: I thought my readers might be interesting in seeing it.

SECOND: I wanted to do the first of what will be many of my...

*<*<*<*<*<*<* MISS TLC RECORD RECOMMENDATIONS *>*>*>*>*>*>*.

It's for Britney Spears' "B In The Mix, The Remixes" CD and I think it's simply fabulous. I thought it would be best to first post the Kevin article and show y'all that I am FULLY aware that her husband continues to give her a bad rap nowadays but that I still think you should find it in your heart of hearts to give her a chance. This CD is a party powerhouse. If you are having people over for drinks, dancing, or just hanging out, pop this in for atmosphere. You already know all the songs but the remixes of them are hot. I've liked some of Britney's stuff over the years (even though I am more of a R&B/Hip-Hop/Soul kinda girl for the most part) but I was NOT expecting to love this CD the way I do. I work in the entertainment industry so those who don't know that should know that I got it for free. I have friends send me packages of free CDs all the time and this just happened to arrive at my office about a month ago. It sat in my apartment for a while before I was cleaning one day and said "let's give this a try" (I generally listen to a lot of my new free music when I am cleaning). I was LOVING it. I was dancing as I was doing the dishes and shaking it as I was scrubbing the shower. So pick it up if you get a chance. You won't be disappointed. Holla.

AND THIRD: I needed a segueway for this story I wanted to tell...

I was watching the Tyra show the other day (love it by the way) and I saw a clip of her correspondent interviewing celebs outside of Mariah Carey's post-Grammy bash. One of the celeb couples that she spoke to was Britney and Kevin. Now just so you know, I am not into incessantly trashing them with the rest of the world. I like Britney's songs and I feel bad for her really. She is happy being goofy and southern bumpkin-ish and that's her prerogative (just like she said in her Bobby Brown remake). And I feel like if people think she is so gross and such white trash then STOP WRITING ABOUT HER. Hey Us Magazine, People, Star, InTouch, OK, etc.: If you think she's such an idiot, then STOP GIVING HER SPACE IN YOUR PUBLICATIONS! However, even I must admit that every so often I do see something with the two of them and I can't help but to grimace and say "HOW IS SHE WITH THIS TOOL?" How's that for contradiction? LOL. So the Tyra clip was one of these times. The correspondent asks Kevin "how do you get your hair slicked back so perfectly like that?" And he says (no joke), "I don't wash it! Hahaha". Britney's face went from laughing to sticking her tongue out like she was disgusted to whispering to the reporter "he's just joking, he's joking". I just shook my head in disbelief. I mean, who says that kinda stuff? Even in jest. It's especially not funny because he looks like he's telling the truth. I mean if George Clooney said that walking down the red carpet to some major event, I'd probably just laugh along with him and then try to make out with him. But George is George. He's a well-known jokester and he's gorgeous and he's clearly into good hygiene. But Kevin? Not cute. Oh well. I guess you can't win 'em all.

Mini Olympic Update

SASHA COHEN IS IN FIRST PLACE!!! Helping to redeem the USA a lil bit in the 2006 Winter Games (see post below), Sasha Cohen skated to first place last night in the Women's Figure Skating Short Program. Her performance was flawless and the choreography was exciting and clean. To watch, go to SASHA COHEN and click on "Sasha Cohen Short Program" in the video section.

Olympics Overture

I love the Olympics. I'm like a junkie whenever it airs. I want to cancel all my other plans and just curl up in front of the TV with a nice cup of tea and take in all of the athleticism and patriotism in huge doses. Usually I am alone in the obsession but this year has sparked so much controversy that many others have joined me in my love for the tournament of champions. If you don't watch, or you don't see how there could be anything interesting occuring in Turin, Italy, read on to my list of "Top 5 Surprises @ The Turin Olympics".

1. BODE MILLER FLOPS - Bode Miller, the extremely popular American skiier was predicted to win several medals in his Alpine Skiing events. Not only has he NOT won any medals, but he has choked BADLY on several of them. It is painful and yet funny to watch. The predicted winner straddled a gate in the Combined event disqualifying him. He had a problem with a gate AGAIN in the Super-G crashing straight into one and balancing himself on one shaky leg until finally hitting the brakes (once again disqualifying him). He tied for 6th on the Giant Slalom and finished in 5th at the Downhill. His last event, the Slalom, is scheduled for Friday. Hopefully, he can win something there. But if not, what's going on? Some say Bode has made a mockery of the sport self-publicizing himself as a "bad boy" who often "parties the night before events". Well that statement has come to bite him in the ass because now it doesn't look like he'll be "partying" after the Olympics at all......unless he needs to drown his sorrows in a beer.

2. LINDSAY KILDOW CRASHES - Also a popular skiier poised to win a medal in Turin, Lindsay has come up short. Kildow crashed BADLY during a practice run for the Downhill which unfortunately threw her off her game for the actual event where she finished 8th. She sat out the Combined in order to heal but took part in the Slalom where she placed 7th. There are still two more events she can participate in but since she is not at her best after her terrible crash, she is not expeted to medal in either one of those.

3. ICE DANCERS FALL - Wow. For years Ice Dancing has been viewed as boring or mundane. Not so this year. Since the rules of this sport have changed, skaters are pushed to try more and more inventive tricks and lifts. For this reason, FIVE TEAMS FELL on Sunday night. It was insane to watch. Just when you thought a team was actually going to get through their routine without wiping out, boom, they were laying on the ice. One of the falls actually landed the Canadian female skater in the hospital. It was terrible to watch. She could not even walk off the ice and needed to be carried. The Canadians were then forced to withdraw from the competition. The funniest fall situation however occurred with one of the Italian teams. It was obvious that the fall was all the man's fault and the woman FLIPPED. When the dance was over, she turned to him on the ice (instead of bowing and smiling) and glared straight into his eyes with a dirty look for a while before walking off the rink together. As they sat on camera waiting for their marks, she kept complaining to the coach and burying her head in her hands. The next night, when they returned for their last dance, SHE WAS STILL IGNORING HIM. The commentators showed footage of how they arrived separately, practiced separately, and kept walking past each other in the hall with nary a glance or acknowledgement. It was hysterical. In the end, they skated a nice program and she turned to him after it was over and smiled. They kissed and made up at that point I guess because he didn't drop her again. :)

4. MICHELLE KWAN DROPS OUT - During her first practice in Italy, Michelle Kwan fell and suffered a groin injury. Unfortunately, she decided on her second day in Turin to call it quits and head home. Kwan is an immensely popular figure skater who has won Silver and Bronze at previous Olympics. The Gold medal has eluded her though and many hoped that her time would come before she retired. This year, she suffered an injury that prevented her from skating in the competition that decided the 2006 Olympic team. However, considering her status in the world of figure skating, and the fact that she is 25 and will not get a chance to compete again, the officials decided to bump the third place winner, Emily Hughes, and allow Michelle to enter the Olympics. Therefore, her resignation after one practice was especially upsetting. I do at least admire her reasoning. Michelle said that she promised the officials who allowed her to be voted on the team in the first place that she would not skate if she was not at 100 percent. She knew after her practice fall that she could not possibly be at her best and gave Emily Hughes the chance to compete instead. This was a blow to the entire Olympic community being that Kwan was used heavily in the ad campaign and had the world watching hoping this would be her time to shine.

5. WOMEN'S ICE HOCKEY TEAM DEFEATED - Our team won gold in Nagano 8 years ago and took the silver 4 years ago in Salt Lake. They were expected to win gold again this year but instead had to settle for bronze. They were upset by Sweden in a shootout in their first ever loss to a team other than Canada. So disappointing.


So yeah, it's been crazy. Tune in!

Random Sidenote

Has anyone else seen these pictures of Liza Minelli's ex-husband with rapper and recent "Surreal Life" star Da Brat? The first time I saw them, I felt a mix of disgust and confusion so I'm hoping someone can give me some insight on them. I mean they are obviously just looking for publicity but huh?!?!?! How did THEY meet? How did THEY come to the conclusion that they should pretend to be a couple just to get paparazzi to takes pics of them. And how did THEY put their heads close to one another and start kissing each other? Blech. Too weird.
He's smelling her hair in this second one I guess to show just how intimate and "lovey dovey" the two of them are. Sure. First off, there have been "rumors" for years that he's gay. But the again, there have also been "rumors" for years that she's gay. So maybe those "rumors" then cancel each other out and they are a perfect couple. Hmm. Something to think about I guess. But wait, didn't he break up with Liza because she allegedly beat his ass? Oh, and Da Brat's been nothing but peaches and cream to him? Doubt it. So sad when D-list celebs need to fake relationships to get their picture in the paper. Oh wait, this wasn't even big enough to get them in the paper. It only got them on the 'net. And only on random blogs (like this one) to boot.




Kinda like these two hot messes. They are so in love that they actually attended a carnival together and he won her some stuffed animals. Um, yeah, sure. Like ANYONE really believes that they are a genuine couple and didn't just decide to go for broke by promoting their "oh my lawd, it's so taboo, how must Britney & Kevin feel that their exes are dating!" fake ass relationship. Anyway, that's all for now. Carry on. Mwah. Talk 2 ya later.

Welcome!

Well well well. I'm sure you are all wondering how it could have taken so long for me to set up a blog. After all, I am an opinionated woman with a LOT to say. :)

So without further adieu...here it is.

Tony Danza is amazing, isn't he? I'm not going to go into the whole story but a few years ago something happened to me and my girls that forced us to make him our mascot of sorts. It's a huge private joke with us now. So huge in fact that we joined up for a bowling league last year and named our team "Who's The Balls?". Yes. It's the best. Unfortunately, we weren't the "best". LOL. We barely cleared last place. But all of that doesn't matter. What DOES matter is that we had an amazing time (like we always do when we're together) and the summer was filled with dancing and drinking and a ton of laughs.

Either way, we are going to come back strong this year. We're sure of it. It's time for us to shine. Right girls? Those customized bowling balls are as good as ours! It's on!

Oh, and if you haven't realized it by now, that's us in those "Who's The Boss" publicity shots. :)

Mwah! Talk 2 ya later.
