baby pics...
we still need baby pics of Judes & Roc although i'm not sure if the Rocster was ever a baby!
and lfj, thanks for the "cutey" compliment in the last post. u sooooooooooo sweet!
My ipod wasn't working, so I listened to Sirius Radio 60’s in the car. Who remembers this goodie?
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!! OH BB! I am LOVING the pics you posted portraying me and Roc! As I told you prior, I don't have any baby pics of me. I have to go picking through my mom's old shoebox to find one. I just love what you posted, red hair, curler and all!!! I'll be chuckling all nite over this one. I hope Roc sees his too-PRICELESS!!
Who could hear Richard Harris over all that hyper-orchestration?! Talk about pulling out all the stops! Yes, a very guilty pleasure and I must admit singing along.
I think that is a photo of toddler Judes getting ready for the Little Junior Tiny Miss Chicago Pageant.
you're wrong lfj, that's a picture of Judes getting ready for the Lil Miss Ghetto Fabulous Pageant. btw, she won the pageant!
i also have the vinyl of Rinchard Harris' McArthur Park album. a guilty pleasure of mine also. and let's not forget the cover that Donna Summer did on the song.
That's right dammit-I always win the ghetto pageant!!!
For you P, I actually went to AT this morn and this was the first post-
Dear Ted: Rihanna has linked with just about every guy under the sun. Drake, Ryan Philippe, Colin Farrell and her ex. Now that the restraining order has been dropped to a level one, will she have any contact with Chris Brown? I really hope she is smart and stays away from him. Personally, I think she should stay away from rappers, athletes or anyone in the entertainment business. A doctor, lawyer or businessman would probably be a better fit for her. But it's her life. I just hope she finds happiness with someone after what she went through. What is the real deal? Is she involved with anyone? —Z
Dear Juggler: Rihanna is a gal after Awful's own heart. She's spunky, hot and knows how to have a good time. Let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if she's juggling all of those guys, Chris Brown excluded. Just because she's moving on doesn't mean she's moving on with him. Oh, and for what it's worth, I'm not entirely disbelieving of the Ryan-Rihanna couple-night stand. Let the girl have some fun—she's not looking to get serious.
Ah, your boo-gotta love him and his controversy!!!
Thanks, Judes, I rarely check that site anymore. Ryan escorted Amanda Seyfried to a pre-Oscar party last night according to some tweets.
I don't know what stirred up more controversy, the story that Rihanna spurned Ryan or the later one that they've been having an affair? Like I said in my last (my very last, forever) email to Bibby, people seem to be strangely invested in Ryan's bed partners. I just sit back and watch the show.
Anyone interested in the Oscar schedule? Want to know when Jake will present and which award? They babble on for a while but scan down, there's a blow by blow agenda. (Reese gives out best supporting actor. Oh joy.) http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/
My predictions are completely frivolous, made without knowledge of the movies or performances, and solely based on who or what I DON’T want to win. These are just my opinions and do not reflect on anyone else, their Tio, or their Nana. Please, no need to pay me -- it's just another service I provide for free.
Best Picture – don’t want to win:
“The Fighter”: can’t stand Mark Walberg, the smug jerk
“The Kids Are All Right”: don’t like movies about spunky women in the vein of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and the Traveling Pants
“Toy Story 3”: hate cartoons
Best Actor – don’t want to win:
Javier Bardem: don’t like his looks and still scared of him from “No Country For Old Men”
Best Actress – would like to win:
Michelle Williams: she was robbed when nominated for BBM and Annette Benning is too scrawny and needs to comb her hair and Nicole Kidman is Nicole Kidman
Best Supporting Actor
No one to dislike, so I’m neutral. Why, why must there be no one to dislike in this category?
Best Supporting Actress – don’t want to win:
Amy Adams: she was in a movie with Mark Walberg Helena Bonham Carter: she needs to comb her hair and wash her face
awww lfj...so nice of u to care and worry...but i'll be ok as long as i have friends like you to make me laugh and enjoy life whenever i can. all u "guys" are great and i truly love everyone of you.
so u live in Wisconsin?
i'll have my oscar predictions up by this afternoon.
hope Roc is alright but, then again, he has that habit of coming and going.
And I'll have my Oscar picks revised right after the broadcast.
Hurrah! John Hawkes won for Best Supporting Male at the Independent Spirit Awards and Dale Dickey won for Best Supporting Female, both because of their contributions to Winter's Bone...one of my favorite films from last year. They both richy deserved it.
like lfj, i've not seen many of the nominated movies - basing my guesses on the other past awards and subjective opinion:
Best Picture / The King's Speech / The Kid's Aare All Right Actor in a Leading Role / Colin Firth / maybe Javier Bardem Actor in a Supporting Role / Christian Bale / Geoffrey Rush / tho I like Mark Ruffalo Actress in a Leading Role / Natlie Portman / but am hoping for an upset by Annette Benning (sorry lfg, but I like her for some reason) Actress in a Supporting Role / Melissa Leo / Jackie Weaver cause i've never herd of her or her movie) Animated Feature Film / Toy Story 3 / but Yogi Bear in 3-D for the write-in vote – heeeey Boo Boo) Art Direction / Alice in Wondrland / but any other besides that over-rated, insipid Inception! Cinematography / True Grit / but any other besides that over-rated, insipid Inception! Costume Design / Alice in Wonderland / Jakes's & Taylor's coffee dates (was that nominated?) Directing / Tom Hooper (he's doing the big screen version of Lez Mis ya know) Documentary Feature / Exit Thru the Gift Shop (although Joan Rivers' A piece of Workk should have been nominted) Documentary Short Subject / Inside Job but only because of its subject matter. Film Editing / The Fighter / 127 Hours Foreign Language Film / Dogtooth (only because it sounds interesting and because Yogi Bear in 3-D was not nominated in this catafgory) Makeup / The Wolfman Music (Original Score) anything but that insispid Inception. Incomprehensable does not equal intellectual. The dude who wrote that movie and the one who directed it both must have been in Charlie Sheen's suitcase. Writing (Adapted Screenplay)/ Social Network/ Winter's Bone Writing (Oiginal Screenplay) / The Kids Are All Right / Another Year
And the winners are: 1. Best Picture: "The King's Speech." 2. Actor: Colin Firth, "The King's Speech." 3. Actress: Natalie Portman, "Black Swan." 4. Supporting Actor: Christian Bale, "The Fighter." 5. Supporting Actress: Melissa Leo, "The Fighter." 6. Directing: Tom Hooper, "The King's Speech." 7. Foreign Language Film: "In a Better World," Denmark. 8. Adapted Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin, "The Social Network." 9. Original Screenplay: David Seidler, "The King's Speech." 10. Animated Feature Film: "Toy Story 3." 11. Art Direction: "Alice in Wonderland." 12. Cinematography: "Inception." 13. Sound Mixing: "Inception." 14. Sound Editing: "Inception." 15. Original Score: "The Social Network," Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. 16. Original Song: "We Belong Together" from "Toy Story 3," Randy Newman. 17. Costume Design: "Alice in Wonderland." 18. Documentary Feature: "Inside Job." 19. Documentary (short subject): "Strangers No More." 20. Film Editing: "The Social Network." 21. Makeup: "The Wolfman." 22. Animated Short Film: "The Lost Thing." 23. Live Action Short Film: "God of Love." 24. Visual Effects: "Inception."
Mother of Mercy, is this the end of "Award Show Season"? Oh pleeze, let that be so. I've felt inundated and swamped by them: "not waving, but drowning" here.
Didn't watch, so my adoration for James Franco is untainted (if he did a poor job, as Roc has heard).
Sorry 'bout Christian Bale, TT, but you know that I rather like him.
THREE great acceptance speaches last night. One was from Christian Bale. He also gave a great speech at the GG.
The other speeches were from a man clearly at least in his 60's who said, my father always said I was a late bloomer. He won for best score. And the third was from Colin Firth who was funny, sincere, and brief.
Plus I watched 3:10 to Yuma and agree CB was great.
James Franco was walking in his sleep. I'm sure Anne Hathaway wanted to slap him. As inept as she was, she bullied through while Franco just gave up. Normally, I'm a Franco fan too, but not last night.
Glad you agree about "3:10 to Yuma," TT! One of my favorite westerns of all time.
Franco and Hathaway seemed an odd choice to begin with -- some sort of lame attempt at drawing a "young audience"? Sometimes I wonder if the "real" James Franco IS the stoned character he played in "Pineapple Express," which I loved!
Sorry I can't respond to emails; gmail keeps timing me out. I can read but not send.
I'm sick AGAIN. Gotta go nite nite. I'm having drama with some of my emails too LFJ, they don't want to open. Must be a gmail thang. Hope it's fixed tomorrow, it's annoying already.
One more thing, I read Melissa Leo dropped the F bomb a few times during her acceptance speech. How embarassing! I'm ghetto fabulous and even I wouldn't do that-LOL!
yes, ML dropped the F bomb - what a classy broad. Anne was cute as always but i think she thot she was at a pep rally, not the Academy Awards. no surprises and only a few laffs. JF dressed in drag for absolutely no reason at all - thot the AA were supposed to be sophisticated. JF appeared stoned out of his mind but was still cute. my favorite part, between dozing off, was the replay of an old AA clip with Bob Hope as emcee. tho Sandra Bullock was her delightful self. btw, Tisha, that old guy was actually 73!!!!
ML said something to effect that Cate Blanchett made giving an acceptance speech seem so fucking easy. In context it was appropriate. I don't know why American television, which shows fully nude sex and tons of violence, is hung up on that word. A word that I and every speaking American uses daily.
Yes, JF in drag for no reason except for us to see that he is not really very slender. Also, for no reason, was that song AH sang to and about Hugh Jackman. It was like an onion in a slightly less smelly onion field.
My ipod wasn't working, so I listened to Sirius Radio 60’s in the car. Who remembers this goodie?
ReplyDeleteMacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!
One of the cheesiest songs ever recorded, and one of my guilty pleasures. Sung by Richard Harris, who could not, just could not sing.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOLOLOLOL!! OH BB! I am LOVING the pics you posted portraying me and Roc! As I told you prior, I don't have any baby pics of me. I have to go picking through my mom's old shoebox to find one. I just love what you posted, red hair, curler and all!!! I'll be chuckling all nite over this one. I hope Roc sees his too-PRICELESS!!

WTH? Someone runs in and breathlessly tells me there's a man in a gorilla suit at the mall. So, is he dead? If not, why do I care?
ReplyDeleteDo you see the sort of thing that keeps me away from my friends here?!?
Coming soon: LFJ's fearless and fearful Oscar predictions, chosen from a very unusual point of view.
Don't forget to breathe while you're waiting for this compelling (and accurate) bit of information.
I'm breathing, just barely.
ReplyDeleteTeddy, put your damn gorilla suit away, it's not working. lfj, still won't reveal herself.
Oh, so that was you, W4G?! Garsh, I wish I'd responded. Great ploy!
ReplyDeleteBreathe, everyone . . . . breathe . . . .

And don't forget that Helena Bonham Carter is also in SERIOUS need of a new stylist......
ReplyDeleteLOL, funny LFJ! You got me giggling good!
Thanks, Judes. But then, I think that mess IS her style and we're stuck with it.
ReplyDeleteI am still frozen from slogging through the snow and bitter to cold to make sure that people in my state know that the cheese never stands alone.
DON'T want to win, Best Supporting, Christian Bale. That raving lunatic is one toke away from being Charlie Sheen.
ReplyDeleteChristian Bale: yes, he is a bit volatile, TT; but jeepers he was good in "3:10 to Yuma."
ReplyDeleteW4G, please let us know if you're okay. We worry 'bout you and care.
awww lfj...so nice of u to care and worry...but i'll be ok as long as i have friends like you to make me laugh and enjoy life whenever i can. all u "guys" are great and i truly love everyone of you.
