Blossom: Six and Sharon Motormouths


It's no secret how much I love the sitcom Blossom (I'm surprised it's not in re-runs it's such a great show) and I have been lucky enough (thanks to my brother) to have gotten the whole series on DVD.

This is without a doubt my favorite moment of Jenna Von Oy's character Six. It's from the episode "I Killed Chico Baranca" where Six has been stealing home appliances to sell at garage sales to earn extra money for clothes and she and Blossom are arrested for it. In this scene, Blossom's father has paid their bail and they are waiting for Six's mother Sharon to come and pick her up from their house. The results are hilarious. Take A Look.

Jennifer Hudson: Spotlight


I'm adding Jennifer Hudson's new video "Spotlight" to my blog because I really enjoy her as a singer and an actress and I was incredibly shocked to hear about the tragedies that have surrounded her family lately. Her Mother, Brother and young Nephew were all murdered within a week. I can't even imagine what her family is going through.
On a lighter note (please God, let there be one), her new movie which she co-stars in "The Secret Life Of Bees" with Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, and Alicia Keys, is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. There was not a dry eye in the theatre when I went to see it. Plus, she has recently released her first full length album.

The tracklisting for the album is,

1) Spotlight
2) If This Isn't Love
3) Pocketbook feat. Ludacris
4) Giving Myself
5) What's Wrong (Go Away) feat. T-Pain
6) My Heart
7) You Pulled Me Through
8) I'm His Only Woman feat. Fantasia
9) Can't Stop The Rain
10) We Gon' Fight
11) Invisible
12) And I Am Telling You (I'm Not Going) from Dreamgirls
13) Jesus Promised Me A Home Over There
14) All Dressed In Love (from the Sex And The City soundtrack)

Courtney Love: Barbara Walters Interview (1995)

A revealing interview with Courtney Love about the death of Kirt Cobain, her band Hole, being a mother, and her film career which at the time was just getting started. I love how honest she is in this interview, I think Courtney is very messed up but she makes great music and I think if she keeps herself sober for greater amounts of time, she could be a great actress.

Sarah Jessica Parker: Jonathan Ross Interview (2008)

It's Sarah Jessica Parker! Need I say more?

Neve Campbell: On David Letterman (2004)


Another great Canadian. Neve Campbell is one of those actresses whom I used to find extremely annoying but as time has passed and she has grown up and done more intriguing film roles I have really come to enjoy her work. Her film "When Will I Be Loved" happens to be one of those films that completely changed her image in my mind. During the press for that movie she stopped by David Letterman for the interview above.

Ellen Page: On David Letterman (2008)


The beautiful Ellen Page's first appearance on David Letterman during her promo for the film "Juno". I just love "the transparent slut" moment. Good stuff.

Jennifer Garner: On The Ellen Degeneres Show (2004)

A very cute interview with the adorable Jennifer Garner during her press tour for the movie "13 Going On 30", as well as my much missed tv show Alias which at the time was in it's third season.

Eight years later, Michael, now a young law student observing Nazi war trials, meets his former lover again, under very different circumstances. Hanna is on trial for a hideous crime, and as she refuses to defend herself, Michael gradually realizes his boyhood love may be guarding a secret she considers to be more shameful than murder.

Janeane Garofalo: Live 1997

Truly smart comedy, Janeane's take on religion, politics, New York crime, dog people, summer blockbuster movies, and much more.

Amanda Palmer: Oasis (Music Video)


This is hilarious. The new music video from The Dresden Dolls' front woman Amanda Palmer's new solo album "Who Killed Amanda Palmer". Amanda has dedicated this music video to Governor Sarah Palin. Please take a look.

She-Ra: Princess Of Power


Looking back on it now, I should probably deem it a shameful moment in my life, but I don't. Back when I was, I think 13 but it could have been 14, I went on a trip to Alberta with my best friend and his parents. We went to every major city around the Alberta region, but there was one stop we made that we went to a specific natural history museum that had a little kids waiting area.

So while me and my friend were waiting for his parents we sat down and started looking through things in said waiting area. Among the things was an old She-Ra comic book. Having almost completely forgotten about She-Ra altogether my friend and I were stunned that this even existed. So what did I do? That's right! I stole it! I stole a She-Ra comic book from a Museum waiting area so we could look through it in the car and enjoy moments of nostalgia. I have no idea where that comic book is today, but I still enjoy that memory.

Lady Gaga: Just Dance (Music Video)


From the album "The Fame" (2008).

Duffy: Stepping Stone (Music Video)

Duffy - Stepping Stone

Stepping Stone is the fourth single from Duffy's debut album "Rockferry" (2008), and one of my personal favorites. Though her song "Serious was originally meant to be her fourth single, she replaced it with Stepping Stone just weeks before the release date. It's definitely a better choice, I don't care for the song "Serious" at all. Take a look at the video.

Lisa Loeb: Taffy (Music Video)


This is Lisa Loeb's third single from her first studio album "Tails" (1995). Gotta love her glasses.

Kathy Griffin: The D-List (Comedy Special)

Kathy Griffin is definintely one of my all time favorite Comedians. This is her first Bravo comedy special, and I will be adding the others. Kathy is a two time Emmy winner for her hit reality show "My Life On The D List", and has starred in shows from Suddenly Susan to Seinfeld. Her humour is all about the absurdities of celebrities and her own fabulosities as a D-list celebrity.

Amy Sedaris: On David Letterman (2007)


Most of you would probably recognize Amy Sedaris from her guest starring role on Sex And The City as one of Carrie's book publisher's, Courtney (the one who isn't Molly Shannon) but this "mentally energetic" actress/comedian/rabbit lover/hostess, has also starred in films like Strangers With Candy (her own star vehicle), Shrek The Third (as the voice of Cinderella), Bewitched, and Snow Angels. She is the author of the best selling entertaining guide "I Like You: Hospitality Under The Influence", which is a manual on how to be a low budget version of Martha Stewart and she is on David Letterman every other week I think. Some love her, some can't stand her. I think she's hilarious.

Patty Griffin: When It Don't Come Easy (Live)


Earlier this year, I had the true delight of seeing Patty Griffin in concert while she was out promoting her latest studio album "Children Running Through", and it was quite honestly one of the most musically stunning shows I have ever been to. Patty has released a live DVD from the tour "Patty Griffin: Live From The Artists Den" and I'm posting her performance of one of my favorite songs by her. Hope you like it.

Jem & The Holograms: The Beginning

Most of my friends know that one of my favorite cartoon shows growing up (as it was for most gay boys in the 80's) was Jem & The Holograms. Yes, the four ordinary girls who become rock stars with the styling help of a computer named "Cynergy". Music, adventure, magic earrings... what more do you want? Here's the first episode of the show, which explains everything.

Mario Saves The Princess


Just a humorous little cartoon from the mind of Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy, American Dad).

Christina Aguilera: Keeps Gettin' Better (Music Video)


I'm really in no way impressed by the new video by Christina Aguilera, but I do like the song and I have a fondness for the twisted version of Catwoman that she plays towards the end and it got me thinking of Michelle Pfieffers Catwoman in Batman Returns. I thought about all of the times she "dies" in that movie and three of them were from falling from buildings. Ummm... aren't cats supposed to land on their feet?
