GLEE Star Cory Montieth, RIP

I am saddened completely by the death of one of TV's young sweethearts, Cory Montieth...better known as Finn. It breaks my heart to know that drugs has once again intervened in someone's life in a tragic way, in a deadly way. At least that is what is presumed.  I can even say...I hate this shit!

I have been out of the loop with much of what's going on with the many wonderful Glee stars. Apparently Lea Michele and Cory Montieth were dating in real life and possibly about to wed themselves in the near future.

I'll keep it short and brief. Last night, I was sitting with my husband, his uke and my smartphone as we scrambled for the chords and lyrics for "I'll Stand By You" by the Pretenders. I always think of Finn singing that in Glee. We tried singing it ourselves and laughed. And that was before I heard this news of Cory's passing.

Rest in Peace, Finn Hudson. xoxo

Lea Michele...hang in there, honey! Know that you are loved!

Keira Knightly Gets Married!!

OMG...she is one of my all time favorite actresses. Not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but she is humma humma fine! Okay, that's a little redundant. I seek after her in any and all movies where she best plays a role in a period piece. Pride and Prejudice. The Duchess. Atonement. I only love her in Pirates of the Carribbean because it's Kiera. Well, rumor has it that my 28-year old diva is now married. Married to her boyfriend of two years, James Righton. He is the keyboardist in a band, the Klaxons. What a lucky dog! Sorry folks...she is no longer on the market! She STILL remains a fave and I will look forward to baby news in the future. I am quite certain that Keira's news of now being Mrs. Righton will disappoint a many men. Congratulations, newlyweds! Remember to love each other, through all things and all days. Marriage requires daily effort...much love to you KK and hubby!

Congratulations AGAIN, President Obama!

I proudly say I am a Barack Obama believer, follower, supporter to the end. I'm not much of a politician. I don't really know the ins and outs of the political world, but for the first time of any president in existence, I can say...now here is a President who is the closest in representing me. Here is a President who represents those who feel they have not been represented in the past. Here is a President who gets behind the scenes, into the scenes, and talks to people. He is passionate about his work and he adds something new to politics. A definite individual who goes down in history as a symbol of peace, change and an effort for better. Congratulations AGAIN in your 2nd term as President!

Junior Seau...Rest In Peace

I am always sad to hear about a celebrity or well known figure...and his or her passing. Rumor has it that this time...it was a suicide. Is that true? I feel sad about that, very sad. Why and how can life be so bad...to take one's own life. People have their reasons. It's heartbreaking nonetheless. I don't know the details. I'm sure we'll be hearing about it in the next several days throughout the popular media. Rest in peace, Junior. May your family take some time out...and find peace in these hard times as well. Tear.

I Like Bethenny Frankel

Bethenny Frankel has grown on me. With my start of the New Year, I have been able to enjoy some of these cable shows at the gym. It's sorta fun. And one of the shows..."Bethenny Ever After." It's fun, funny, and I actually learn a few relationship tips from it. I also feel grateful that I have found my ever after and am not in the scene. Anyway...

This woman is moving on to amazing things. She is succinct in her thoughts, confident, and willing to be as honest as possible as she assists people in dealing with their issues... mainly finding love. She's great!

Despite her recent miscarraige, she continues to move forward. She and her husband share one daughter, Bryn, and she is unsure about trying again for a second child. She's 41 years old. Hey...just a little bit of info...I had my 5th child at 41! It can be done. So Bethenny, best wishes to you and your career and your family! Looking forward to your upcoming FOX girl's show!

Katherine McPhee Smashes In

Hot damn this woman is fine! I did not watch Smash the other night, but I've heard from others that the show is great. I didn't doubt that it would be. Steven Spielberg once again, creates a phenomena. I'm sure it'll get super ratings. Once in the top of American Idol hopefuls, McPhee has still busted out into the entertainment scene and has proven her talent. Maybe sometimes it's better to NOT be the American Idol and let other GREATER opportunities come your way. Look at Jennifer Hudson. Another hot damn, if you ask me! Anyway, whenever I find time to watch the Smash debut, I will certainly send out my thoughts. I love a good show about young ladies breaking into the industry.

Somewhere deep in my heart, that coulda been me!! What a crack up that I even share this thought with the cyberworld. Its the truth. So, I live my suburban life and talk about all these other wonderful (and sometimes psycho) celebrities or media peeps in the world. My outlet to buzz about the goings on in popular culture. It's fun.
