- Despite his entire personal life being splashed across the front pages of newspapers and tabloids and his god-awful new nickname of “cheater Woods,” Tiger Woods was still voted the top athlete of the decade. Really…?
- Bilboard has also declared Nickelback as the band of the decade. What is wrong with the world?
- Today, Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry passed away after he suffered severe injuries upon falling out of a pickup truck during a messy dispute with his wife. He was discovered on a residential road and rushed to the hospital, but it was too late. He was 26.
- Our country is beginning to lose that “hope” that we were instilled with when Barack Obama became President this year. The numbers and percentages regarding optimism and reflection over President Obama’s job in the office have been declining rapidly. The numbers are online somewhere I’m sure, I watched the segment on NBC nightly news last night. If you thought our unemployment rate was bad in Seattle… well it’s 50% in Detroit. Yeah, that’s terrible.
- When I was nine years old, I was singing along to Spice Girls. These days I guess it’s okay for a nine-year-old Noah Cyrus, sister of Miley Cyrus, to be singing Akon’s “Smack That.” Does the girl even know what the lyrics mean? Miley’s camp is cheering for her like it’s cute, it’s not cute. It’s just discomforting.
- Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have finally called it quits after three years together.
- The Hills will be returning for a sixth season on MTV. Filming will start up after New Years. NOOOOOOOOOO!
On a happier note…
Kevin Jonas [The Jonas Brothers] and Danielle Deleasa will wed this weekend
Happy 20th Anniversary Simpsons! They premiered on television exactly 20 years ago.
- Project Runway season 7 will return to Lifetime on January 14th.
- American Apparel has just announced that they have launched a nail polish line.

Gorgeous model Daul Kim was found dead in her apartment earlier this week after hanging herself. Her death had been discovered after several messages she had posted on her blog “I Like to Fork Myself” hinted at loneliness and depression. Kim, was only 20 years old and just recently walked the runway at about ten shows this past Spring 2010 Fashion Week. Kim was raised in both Seoul, Korea and Singapore.
“South Korea, which has the highest suicide rate among the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, has had a string of high-profile suicides in recent months.”
This post makes me sad :(

- No One Really Wins
- You Love to Sing
- Where’s My Head

- Sleep
- You Have My Attention
- Take Care

Many people were unsure if MTV would still decide to premiere Adam Goldstein’s new television series “Gone Too Far.” Adam, AKA, DJ AM had created this show himself and in it visited young addicts between the ages of 20 and 25 who will have the opportunity to seek recovery.
“After careful consideration we have decided to air the show,” his family said in a statement released by MTV today. “Adam felt strongly that by doing this series he could help other addicts who were at a crisis point to get sober. Helping people in their recovery was a huge part of Adam’s life. It is our hope through airing this show that people will get to see the side of Adam that we knew and loved, not just the celebrity DJ, but the honest and caring person who gave so much of himself to help others. The decision to air the show has been difficult, but we do this with the profound belief that it will inspire others to seek help.”

- Daniel Radcliffe had his first injury while filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows today.
“I was shooting a scene where Harry is fighting a huge snake,” he said. “As you know, the Harry Potter films are big productions, so instead of an actual snake in front of me, our stunt coordinator held a long stick with a boxing glove at the end.”
Poor guy now has a black eye.
- DJ AM has left a $1 million estate behind and no will. His funeral was scheduled for this afternoon.
- Every so often a show will come along and at that point I will add it to my schedule of must-sees. This might be one of them! And also I love Shiri Appleby and have loved her ever since the show Roswell.

- Avril Lavigne and Katy Perry will be guest judges on this ninth season of American Idol.

Unfortunately because I was out at the Street Scene Music Festival early this afternoon, I did not hear about DJ AM’s passing until Samantha had texted me about it and when it was reconfirmed during the moment of silence during Chromeo’s set. Like the boys of Chromeo said, DJ AM paved the way for dj’s all over and created a gateway. His presence will be missed, but his memories and his work will never be forgotten.

The Seattle band has just wrapped up their second album in which they worked with the late and great Tom Pfaeffle. The entire CD is up for streaming on their Myspace page. These guys are really great. They were super nice when I had worked with them on a show last year and very laid back. I always get a little excited when I can spot some of their members out and about on the streets of Capitol Hill. Can’t wait to see them live again.
The band also performed last night at Tom Pfaeffle’s memorial show at the Moore Theater in Seattle.

It’s a BIG news day. These will be my only posts of the day unless something relevant comes up. It’s finals week so you’ll won’t be seeing too much until Thursday :)
- Eunice Kennedy Shriver has passed away today at the age of 88. She was the founder of the Special Olympics.
- The famous Times Square Studio will no longer be home to MTV. The glass window is known for being a classic tradition during the live tapings of MTV’s hit show TRL – Total Request Live
- Last week news broke that Emmy Rosum had split with boyfriend Justin Siegel. Turns out that they were actually married and had a confidential marriage license.
-Twilight Barbies. Enough said.
The trailer for Heath Ledger’s final film “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” has been released.
- Jennifer Hudson gave birth to a baby boy with fiance David Otunga on Monday.
- In case you haven’t seen… Mac Book Touch
I hate Macs, but I still think it’s pretty. To read more about the article click here
Charlize Theron is gracing the cover of THE SEPTEMBER ‘09 issue of Vogue and because of the financial crisis we’re all living in, the fashion magazine has scaled down to a mere 584 pages this year. oh man more ads and less text I’m sure.
- Did anyone watch the Teen Choice Awards last night? It was completely all about The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Twilight. Granted, the Jo Bros were the hosts of the night so that’s understandable.
- Kathy Griffin took Levi Johnston (Bristol Palin’s baby daddy) as her date. Then they talked about it on Larry King Live? and it was awkward to the max. This must be a sick joke.
- Miley Cyrus’s very controversial performance at the Teen Choice Awards performing “Party in the USA.”
I guess the pole part wasn’t that bad… but I can see why it might make people uncomfortable. DAMN what does Nick Jonas think of Miley now?! And this song is really catchy… can’t stop listening to it.
- 60 year old grandpa John Moyer has been sentenced to two days in jail, 180 days of probation and 50 hours of community service for publicly groping Minnie Mouse at Walt Disney World back in June ie giving her “fake Minnie Mouse boobs a squeeze.”
How did this go down in court?
“It doesn’t matter she was grabbed. She’s just a mouse,” argued the prosecutor. “It’s not just a mouse. It’s a person … It’s not OK to go to the diner and pinch a waitress’ butt anymore, and it’s not OK to go to a theme park and pinch a character’s butt.”
- Scott Schuman’s book “The Sartorialist,” featuring his profession as a photographer for street style will debut this Wednesday. I’ll be at Border’s reading it all Saturday.
- Some guy has a handgun strapped to his leg during a health care forum. In public. President Obama is attending and no one is doing anything about it really.
- and irrelevant Country music news. Brooks & Dunn are ending their music career after 20 years. no big deal.
