Is The Rumors of Miley Cyrus Smoking Salvia Bong True?

If you've heard the rumors, it's true! Just a few days after her 18th birthday, this "Can't Be Tamed" singer smoked salvia! Which has the same effects as marijuana. AKA, salvia is considered a hallucinogen when smoked. In fact, ever since the video came out, sells in salvia has risen! Do you think Miley is going to be the next Lindsay Lohan or do you think she'll get better?

What's Hot in Movies!: Yogi Bear

Such as, Tom Cavanagh, Dan Aykroid, Anna Faris, Justin Timberlake, and Christine Taylor. The film will follow the Yogi Bear and his friend Boo-Boo in Jellystone Park, as they try to avoid Ranger Smith who is trying to stop Yogi from stealing tourist's and camper's picnic baskets. This movie will be released to theaters in the States on December 17th. Just in time for the Holiday Season.

Thanksgiving is coming up! What does this mean for you!

For the adults, Thanksgiving isn't fun and games! Many have to get up extremely early and put the bird in the oven and cook even more stuff for the upcoming dinner! Which by the way guys, if your parents are hosting a dinner this year, be thankful they are cooking that turkey! And be lucky that you even have that dinner!
But anyways, so many kids ask how they could contribute and help their family out this Thanksgiving! Here are some tips to help you!

1. Help them cook!
This one is pretty obvious! Simply ask your mom or dad or grandparent or whoever, "Is there anything I can do?", or, "Can I help cook or can you teach me how to fix something?". Something like that would be appreciative for your family. Plus it gives you a sense of accomplishment for helping cooking the turkey or some other dish!

2. Help move stuff!
Every year, when my parents host a dinner, we have to move my dog's playpen in the kitchen to our porch! This way, our guests will have more room to get the food they want and the drink they want without the dog harassing them! If your parents have to move something like a playpen, furniture, or something as simple as... a cooler! Help them out, a "I got it!" really makes your folks happy!

3. Help your elderly members around!
This one is a biggie! Many elderly members can't walk around like they used to, or get up, or sit down. A perfect situation is when the old folks are arriving or leaving your house. Open the car door, and help them out and walk them to the house! It would be really appreciative for them as well as yourself!

4. Help bring dishes in the house!
When family members are arriving with food, dishes, plates, drinks, etc. Help out and take the more heavy stuff! It's not as tedious as you think! People love it when someone younger helps bring in the food plus it makes less trips to the car!

5. Help wash dishes and clean around the house after the dinner!
Yes, it's not on your top 10. But helping clean makes less time cleaning the house and getting everyone to leave! It sounds weird, but I know my parents are extremely tired after the dinner and they are ready for everybody to go! Or if you don't like washing dishes, suggest to your parents or whoever is hosting the party to use paper plates, plastic cups, and paper trays so there's no mess to clean up after! Plus you simply throw it in the trash and throw it out. No need to clean! Another one, is help wash the tables before and after the dinner! Sweep the floors, clean the windows, dust the house, and everything else in between! If it looks dirty, clean it! Parents love this stuff!

Well I'm sure I'm stating the obvious but these little things will surely makes your folks really proud of you!

Beyonce and Jay-Z Expecting Their First Child!

Yes that's right folks! Beyonce may be having her first child soon! The 29-year-old was a little shocked and unexpected because she wanted to get done with her album and tour the world again but is said that she is very happy! More on the news soon!

Is Justin Bieber a Bully Victim?

Not only has bullying been directed towards everyday people, but also celebrities too! Last week, Justin was playing a game of laser tag in Vancouver and a 12 year old boy called Justin Bieber a gay slang word, f*g. And punched the boy. The father of the boy Justin allegedly assaulted has filed a complaint. Bieber will speak out about the matter at his latest concert at Vancouver's Rogers Arena. More info on this story as it comes in!

Miley Cyrus' New Video Too Sexy for TV?

Miley Cyrus has done it again! Her new European single, "Who Owns My Heart" has been raising some parent's eyebrows! The artist in question lays in a bed in a barely-there outfit, and grinding with guys and girls! Keep in mind, she hasn't even turned 18 yet! Many parents have asked music video channels, MTV and other foreign channels to ban the music video to only be aired during the late-night hours. Sounds like this Disney princess is growing up a little too fast! What do you think of this situation? Did you see this coming for the ex-Hannah Montana star? Take a look at the video and see for yourself!

Ke$ha to Release EP, Cannibal, in November, and releases "We R Who We R" Thursday!

Ke$ha fans, get ready to hit the record stores and iTunes!!! More clever and fist-pump worthy music by none other than my favorite dance artist, Ke$ha is coming in November! She will release a 9-song EP, Cannibal, in November and with it has just released a new single, "We R Who We R" just a couple of days ago. The song she explains goes along with the numerous gay teen suicides this past month and the song explains to be yourself and have a good time doing it. In an interview, Ke$ha explains her inspiration to release a new album. "This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime,[...] My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me." Ke$ha has released "We R" on her official website and YouTube and the official EP will be released on November 22nd just in time for the upcoming holiday season!

VMA's Turn Flat This Year!

I'm sorry but this was the worst VMA telecast I've ever seen. And I thought the Emmys were bad, this is WORSE! For one, I think Chelsea Handler was the worst host to ever be on the VMAs. Why was she even there? Who the heck knows. All I could hear her saying the Glee cast stapling their balls together. Umm... what? The Glee cast now supposedly likes to staple their balls like the cast of Jackass? Really Chelsea? Really? She's terrible! If she's trying to be funny, it's not working! Not your type of thing to do, Chelsea. I personally think her "talk show" Chelsea Lately sucks! I can't stand her.
And another thing, why is it every 5 minutes I could see J-WOWW and Snooki in the background in the hot tub? And why is it all I seen was tween and teen stars of Nick and Disney everywhere? I'm sorry but these people shouldn't be allowed on the premises of the Nokia Theater. These people have no talent. A few of them do... but not a lot. And seriously Lady Gaga, A meat dress? What's next, are you gonna make a dress out of vomit and eyelashes? C'mon Gaga!
This whole award show was big fat slap on the face from none other than MTV. This is MTV saying, "We love 'The Hills' and 'Jersey Shore' more than music videos even though we're called 'MUSIC TELEVISION'"! Since MTV cares more about Snooki and low-life singers and actors, this show was terrible in so many ways, the only thing I found appealing was Taylor Swift's performance and even that was average. And Kanye, just quit trying, nobody likes you, so quit trying to shove your crappy music down people's throat... BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS IT!

This year's VMAs gets a big fat F!
Please tell me where good TV really is!

My Picks for the 2010 MTV VMA's!

It's that time again, folks! The VMA Madness will begin September 12, that's in about 2 weeks! Wonder what will happen this year? Hmm... Anyways, since I love to watch the VMAs each year, I decided I would pick out one of the nominees for each category of which I want to win!

Best Video of the Year Nominees:
30 Seconds to Mars — "Kings and Queens"
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams) — "Airplanes"
Eminem — "Not Afraid"
Florence and the Machine — "Dog Days Are Over"
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance"
Lady Gaga (featuring Beyoncé) — "Telephone"

My Pick: Lady Gaga feat. Beyonce - "Telephone"
Reason why: Because it was, in my opinion, one of the most anticipated videos of the year! And let's admit it was great! Lady Gaga should win the Moonman for this one!

Best Male Video:
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams) — "Airplanes"
Jason Derülo — "In My Head"
Drake — "Find Your Love"
Eminem — "Not Afraid"
Usher (featuring will.i.am) — "OMG"

My Pick: Well personally, I don't really like B.o.B much but I loved Jason Derulo's song "In My Head" and "OMG". I'm gonna have the go with the Michael Jackson wannabe Jason Derulo! He's awesome and his song is great. But I know for a fact that "Airplanes" will take it. But, I personally hated the song! I just don't like rap a lot!

Best Female Video
Beyoncé (featuring Lady Gaga) — "Video Phone (Extended Remix)"
Kesha — "Tik Tok"
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance"
Katy Perry (featuring Snoop Dogg) — "California Gurls"
Taylor Swift — "Fifteen"

My pick: You and me both know who will win this one! It'll be either Katy or Gaga. And in my opinion, Katy should take the Moonman, this go round! Trust me Gaga you have plenty of blanks to fill this year! "Gurls" was spunky, original, and different. What we thought would show sexy people at Venice Beach turned out to be a cool and sweet (no pun intended) video that looked a lot like the board game, "CandyLand" that I played with when I was four! In a good way! Katy is the ultimate kid at heart!

Best New Artist
Justin Bieber (featuring Ludacris) — "Baby"
Broken Bells — "The Ghost Inside"
Jason Derülo — "In My Head"
Kesha — "Tik Tok"
Nicki Minaj (featuring Sean Garrett) — "Massive Attack"

My pick: Yes I know, Justin will take this Moonman, mark my words! But I seriously enjoyed Kesha's music video. Sorry Mr. BeerBeer, "The Cashew" should take this one!

Best Pop Video
Beyoncé (featuring Lady Gaga) — "Video Phone (Extended Remix)"
B.o.B (featuring Bruno Mars) — "Nothin' on You"
Kesha — "Tik Tok"
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance"
Katy Perry (featuring Snoop Dogg) — "California Gurls"

My pick: WOW! There's a lot of good one's here. The 3 leading ladies of Pop are in a battle to win "Best Pop Video". Kesha's video was nothing compared to Katy's video. And Gaga's was "iconic" I guess you could say. I think Bad Romance should get this one. After all, it's the most viewed video on YouTube right now!

Sorry folks but I don't listen to Rock or Hip-hop so I'm skipping them onto Best Dance Video!

Best Dance Video
Cascada — "Evacuate the Dancefloor"
David Guetta (featuring Akon) — "Sexy Chick"
Enrique Iglesias (featuring Pitbull) — "I Like It" (Jersey Shore Version)
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance"
Usher (featuring will.i.am) — "OMG"

My pick: I know Lady Gaga will get this one. But, I think there's should be a little more variety than just Gaga! Cascada's "Dancefloor" was very catchy, cool, and hip! However, Gaga showed her dancing skills in "Romance"... so I think Gaga will also get this one as well.

Best Collaboration
3OH!3 (featuring Ke$ha) — "My First Kiss"
Beyoncé (featuring Lady Gaga) — "Video Phone (Extended Remix)"
B.o.B (featuring Hayley Williams) — "Airplanes"
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys — "Empire State of Mind"
Lady Gaga (featuring Beyoncé) — "Telephone"

My pick: Lady Gaga once again! This girl is on the roll with the nominations! Telephone was a great collaboration with Beyonce! I couldn't help but laugh when Beyonce says in the video, "You've been a very very bad girl, Gaga!"

Skipping Breakthrough Video - Have no idea who these people are!

Best Direction in a Video
30 Seconds to Mars — "Kings and Queens" (Director: Bartholomew Cubbins)
Eminem — "Not Afraid" (Director: Rich Lee)
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys — "Empire State of Mind" (Director: Hype Williams)
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance" (Director: Francis Lawrence)
Pink — "Funhouse" (Director: Dave Meyers)

My pick:
I don't even have to say it and you probably who I'M going to pick!

Best Choreography in a Video
Beyoncé (featuring Lady Gaga) — "Video Phone (Extended Remix)" (Choreographers: Frank Gatson Jr., Phlex and Bryan Tanaka)
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance" (Choreographer: Laurie Ann Gibson)
Lady Gaga (featuring Beyoncé) — "Telephone" (Choreographer: Laurie Ann Gibson)
Janelle Monáe (featuring Big Boi) — "Tightrope" (Choreographers: Janelle Monáe and the Memphis Jookin Community)
Usher (featuring will.i.am) — "OMG" (Choreographer: Aakomon “AJ” Jones)

My pick:
Definitely, Telephone. If you've seen the dancing and the video in general, you know why I pick this one!

Best Special Effects in a Video
Dan Black — "Symphonies" (Special Effects: Corinne Bance and Axel D’Harcourt)
Eminem — "Not Afraid" (Special Effects: Animaholics-VFX)
Green Day — "21st Century Breakdown" (Special Effects: Laundry)
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance" (Special Effects: Skulley Effects VFX)
Muse — "Uprising" (Special Effects: Sam Stevens)

My pick: I'm telling you it's GAGA!

Best Art Direction in a Video
30 Seconds to Mars — "Kings and Queens" (Art Director: Marc Benacerraf)
Beyoncé (featuring Lady Gaga) — "Video Phone (Extended Remix)" (Art Director: Lenny Tso)
Eminem — "Not Afraid" (Art Director: Ethan Tobman)
Florence and the Machine — "Dog Days Are Over" (Art Directors: Louise Corcoran and Aldene Johnson)
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance" (Art Director: Charles Infante)

My pick: Same here!

Best Editing in a Video
Eminem — "Not Afraid" (Editor: Ken Mowe)
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance" (Editor: Jarrett Fijal)
Miike Snow — "Animal" (Editor: Frank Macias)
Pink — "Funhouse" (Editor: Chris Davis)
Rihanna — "Rude Boy" (Editor: Clark Eddy)

My pick: FINALLY! I won't pick Gaga this time! I think Rihanna should get this one, the video was very cool and had LOTS of FX (this one should be nominated for best SFX)!

Best Cinematography in a Video
Eminem — "Not Afraid" (Director of Photography: Chris Probst)
Florence and the Machine — "Dog Days Are Over" (Director of Photography: Adam Frisch)
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys — "Empire State of Mind" (Director of Photography: John Perez)
Lady Gaga — "Bad Romance" (Director of Photography: Thomas Kloss)
Mumford & Sons — "Little Lion Man" (Director of Photography: Ben Magahy)

My pick: Empire State of Mind, even though I hate the song, it did have some great shots of Brooklyn and Manhattan!

Tr3́s Latino Artist of the Year
Aventura
Camila
Daddy Yankee
Pitbull
Shakira
Wisin & Yandel

My pick: Daddy Yankee all the way! I love his music! But I know it'll either be Pitbull or Shakira (ugh! I hate her)

Tune in for the VMA's on Sunday September 12 at 9pm EST/8pm CST on MTV!

My Two Cents on Miley's Latest Movie, "The Last Song".

This week, the buzz was all over the release of "The Last Song" being released to DVD and Bluray! A lot of people said it was a great movie but a lot of people said Miley's acting was very "amateur". So there were a lot of mixed signals. And being a movie buff, I don't care I just rent it and if I like it a lot, I'll buy it! Plus, knowing that ALL of Nicholas Sparks' books that were turned into movies are usually very good. Now I'm not the type that will watch a ton of chick flicks. But by no means is this a chick flick, in my opinion. It's coming of age, and personally is great for the whole family, as it shows ups and down of a teen relationship and the death of *someone* (coughs). I don't like chick flicks that much, but being that I'm a fan of Miley Cyrus' work, I made an exception.
Now anyway, I have to say the movie had a great beginning, middle, and end. It wasn't sappy either and wasn't too "soapy", if you know what I mean. Typically, when you watch a chick flick or a romantic drama, you usually get elements of soap operas. "The Last Song" kinda bends the rules, as well as most of Sparks' novels. So don't expect no sex scenes, pervs!
The movie's background is basically this:
17 year old, Ronnie (that's Miley) and her younger brother are taken to their dad's place at beautiful Tybee Island, Georgia (the book was set in Coastal NC, the producers wanted it to be shot in NC but decided Georgia would be the setting of the movie). Years before, their parents divorced, so this explains why Ronnie acts hateful and hostile towards other in the beginning of the movie. But as time goes by, Ronnie meets Will, a rich boy that plays volleyball on the beach and they soon fall in love.
That's all I'll give you about the movie, but I can tell you there is a twist (*coughs* death) but I won't say who. You have to watch the movie to find out.
Despite the negative reviews, on a scale of one to ten, I give this movie a 9! It's a perfect love story and Miley does an excellent job! She cries, smiles, gets angry and you can actually feel her pain! As well as the other cast members. Liam Hemsworth who plays Ronnie's love interest, Will, does a great job as well for a newcomer. In my opinion, the whole cast is perfect, the setting is perfect, the plot is perfect. Everything is perfect! Males and females alike will love this movie. It's a perfect date night movie!

My score: 9 out of 10
Rent it or buy it: BUY!
^
This means if the movie is OK, it's best to rent it but if it is great, BUY!

Check out Kesha's Sexy New Video, "Take It Off"

Kesha loves to "Take it Off" in her latest music video. OK not really, I was hoping so but it only shows her chest but she still looks pretty H-O-T hot in it, might I say! Of course Kesha is going to make a juicy, sexy video, hello she is the Drunkest Lush in America! No offense, but this girl is a drunk and a hard core partier... but that's cool... we need drunks who can sing more than 2 words without going off-key in this world. Heck, she can even sing while digging in the desert and having a weird food color food fight! At least that's what this auto-tuned babe was doing this time in this vid! But anyways, the vid was released about a week ago! If you wanna watch it, well today is your lucky day because it's right underneath this post. Happy watching!

Reaction to Beavis and Butthead returning to MTV in 2011!

Well my thoughts on this... My prayers have been answered. If you read a tweet I made a couple of days ago on Twitter, you knew how I excited I was. And I just heard the news just last week... and this news has been out for about 3 weeks or so... so I know I'm a bit late but I just had to make a post about it. Beavis and Butthead was more than likely the only thing on MTV that wasn't all about music videos (but they did make fun of current videos which was hilarious!) that is worth watching. Yes, I mildly enjoy watching Jersey Shore every week but honestly, it's not that good, it's pretty good, but ... yea! My thoughts on this is also, maybe MTV is actually listening to the viewers. Maybe America is tired of Laguna Beach, The Real World, and Made and whatever. Instead, people want MTV to go back to the basics when the channel was created way back in 1981. Back then, all you had was videos. Some were pretty cool, and some weren't so good. But, the channel was AWESOME! You could actually see what the singers looked like, some looked pretty hot, some looked NOT, and some of them made you think, are they gay? And music videos even incorporated dance moves and even incorporated a storyline to them so you could really get what they were saying in the song. But if you've seen Lady Gaga's music videos, you'd probably wonder... huh? Some of the many greats had some really cool videos. The one's that come to the top of my head are, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, and a whole heap of others. So maybe bringing Beavis and Butthead back is really a blessing for MTV and for the viewers as well. And so now that BnB is back... now we need more videos in the daytime and primetime! But all I have to say to MTV is... Thank you! There isn't an approximate date when Beavis and Butthead will be on the air but... MTV has announced that it is sometime in early 2011! We will give you the date when the word has come out... until then, you can watch some reruns online and go "I can't wait!". By the way, here is a couple of clips. And you better watch them, BUTTMUNCH! Enjoy!





Maybe they could possibly do some of these not just for Rihanna but for possibly Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus or Kesha

Carol Burnett is getting "Glee"ked this fall!

Carol Burnett, star of long time variety show of the 60's and the 70's, "The Carol Burnett Show" and recurring role on the hit 80's show, "Mama's Family" has landed a role on Fox's hit teen-dramedy-musical show, "Glee". She will be playing the role of Sue Sylvester's (Jane Lynch) mother. Glee has attracted millions of viewers and is Fox's 2nd TV show with the most viewers, 1st being "American Idol" and 3rd being "The Simpsons". Glee has been known to recreate some of the best pop music out there, including Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" and even recreated Madonna's 1990 single, "Vogue". This is my new favorite show and I hope that Carol Burnett's role on Glee is a success! Do you think Carol Burnett will bring in more viewers of different age groups?

Who Should Larry King pass on the suspendors to?

After 25 years, Larry King will be stepping down on the hit CNN talk show, Larry King Live. Larry King has had many famous stars, and singers including just recently Lady Gaga. He has also interviewed former Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean which turned into a controversial episode and celebutante Paris Hilton, and of course pratically every world leader under the sun including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. This decision was not on CNN, instead this was King's decision to make. Now that Larry is stepping down, CNN is looking for a replacement. They are looking to pick former Today show host and CBS News Anchor, Katie Couric. I think maybe one of the View girls should give it a whirl. Elizabeth Hasselbeck would be perfect since she likes to pick a fight with someone. Ellen makes a great talk show host as well as Oprah Winfrey. And who's to say we may have another soapy vixen turn into a host, like Susan Lucci. Or possibly Ryan Seacrest. Who do you think should take Larry's place?

The Gaming Battle Begins on Wii-Like Features!

The PS3 and the Xbox 360 are going to compete against the Nintendo Wii with games that involve the moving your entire body and getting up and playing! Playstation will release the Move and Xbox will release the Kinect. Both of these are essentially the same but have a few differences. Playstation Move includes a controller a lot like the Wii-Mote and Nunchuks. However, the Kinect does not even have a controller instead the player IS the controller. Which really mind boggles a lot of people and many are wondering if this is a gamble. But a lot of people are pumped up for it. Now I would like to have a PS3 but in the future I would love to have the Xbox 360 and the Kinect. They both seem awesome. Take a look at the trailers for the Xbox Kinect and the Playstation Move!

A New DS is being announced: When is it finally enough?

Guess what DSi XL Lite-Hoobla fans, that DS is now already obsolete as of 2011. The 3DS is being released early next year. Just one question, when is one DS update after another going to be enough? Year after year, we've seen several updates of the DS, Lite, DSi, DSiXL, and now the 3DS. This keeps kids at the edge of their seats, and parents at the edge of their toilets. I hope Nintendo realizes that parents aren't going to be happy to spit out more money for their kids new DS. Seriously, I think 1 or 2 updates would've been enough. Yes, the brighter and bigger screens are cool, with cameras and MP3 players and a tool to take over the world. Now I got a DS back in 2005. And it's big, the screen is dim, it has no camera and MP3 player, but I still enjoy it. I don't need all that hoobla to make a DS better. Although it would be nice to have it, I really don't care for that crap. I'd rather cough up the money for a PS3 than buy 3 updated DS'. My best bet: I think people would be better off buying a Wii or a PS3.

Lady Gaga Discusses Michael Jackson, Lupus, and her fans on Larry King

Lady Gaga appeared on LKL on CNN last night to talk about many subjects including her next album, religion, Michael Jackson, and her beliefs in gay rights. She also talked about how Lupus is in her family history and that she didn't appear to have symptoms of Lupus but was tested and was borderline positive for the disease. For those who don't know what this disease is, it causes you to have problems with your immune system. Which helps fight the common cold, the flu and other related viruses in the body. This can affect various parts of the body including the kidneys and the skin and many other parts of the body. She also talked about her next album, saying that it won't be released nowhere near Christmas (I'm just paraphrasing here). She says she wants to satisfy the fans even if that means waiting a while for it. She also talked about how she was going to perform with the late Michael Jackson on his "This is It" tour that was quickly canceled due to his unexpected death. She also stated that she is still mourning the loss of MJ and that regardless if she did perform with him or not, she would still be devastated. Also, a preview of her latest music video, "Alejandro" was also shown. I'm sure it will be quite interesting considering how her videos are more like short films.

CBS Axes 7 Shows and Moves A Few To A New Day and Time

The internet has been FLOODED with the news that CBS has released. CBS is canceling not 1, not 2, not 3, no, 7 shows. That's right, CBS axed 7 shows. This includes Ghost Whisperer and Old Christine, which had a viable amount of viewers. Also Miami Medical which premiered last month is already canceled and won't air another season. Cold Case, Numb3rs, Accidentally on Purpose and Gary Unmarried were all canceled. Not only is CBS pulling this off but they're also moving a few shows to a new slot. Big Bang will be moved to Thursday nights at 8pm for a lead in to a new comedy starring William Shatner, "$%!% My Dad Says", or "Bleep My Dad Says" as it will be referred to in promos. Two and a Half Men has been renewed for next season, and yes Charlie Sheen will be in next season's episodes. Followed after THM is the remake of the classic, Hawaii Five-O. Survivor has also been moved, instead will be seen on Wednesdays next season. CSI: NY has been moved to Friday Nights, and CSI: Miami has been moved to Sunday Nights. New shows such as Bleep My Dad Says and Hawaii Five-O, which I mentioned before, Mike and Molly, another comedy. New drama shows include, Blue Bloods, starring Tom Selleck, and The Defenders starring Jim Belushi. Hey, at least there isn't another CSI. Jeez how many of those do they have, seriously? The only complaint I have is why move Big Bang? That's stupid. They should've moved THM to Thursdays, not Big Bang. And I hate to see Ghost Whisperer go, I'm going to miss that show. Anyway, I'm sort of glad that Gary Unmarried is cancelled I never liked that show. Tune in the next couple of weeks, to hear our point of view on this on our first podcast episode!

Disney Channel finishes taping last Hannah Montana episode

Last night, Miley Cyrus and the gang finished taping their last scenes of the successful Disney Channel show, Hannah Montana, which grew a huge audience, and eventually would make Miley Cyrus a very popular teen star. This March, Disney Channel confirmed that Hannah Montana would be taping its last season this year. The last season would be titled "Hannah Montana Forever" on Disney Channel. The last season is set to air in July and the series finale is set to air sometime next spring. Throughout the series, we watched Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Michell Musso, and the rest of the young cast grow up right before our eyes. Keep in mind Miley was only 12 when she taped her pilot episode. After taping the last scenes, the cast of HM had a "farewell" party at h.wood nightclub in Hollywood. A source tells E! Online, "Miley looked so happy when the DJ played 'Party in the USA,' When the hit came on, she sang to her song and danced through the crowd." Well, I can say I loved the show, I hate to see it go, however, we knew the pink slip would be coming since Miley is going on and doing better things, more on this on our FIRST podcast of "Pop Expedition"!

Introducing our new logo!

You see that picture up there... top left... that is our new logo and podcast name. It's called "Pop Expedition"! Now you're wondering why we called it this, it's a little edgy, and it's a little creative. Here's an explanation of the name.

Pop - We'll be covering pop culture, meaning TV, movies, music, off the wall things that's going on in LA, and NYC!

Expedition - It's like a journey for me and my friends and family my age or close to my age. We're trying to go through life as a teen as well as young adults. We're experiencing an expedition and it won't ever end. There's always bumps in the road, but if we try and have hope and faith, we'll be able to get through it.

What songs do you think will define the summer?

Betty White's SNL Episode brings in the bacon!

This Saturday, Saturday Night Live welcomed Betty White as the host and my was she awesome. This lady is absolutely phenomenal and in fact, she is so phenomenal the episode got a 8.8 rating, or 66% of American homes watched this particular episode, including myself. Keep in mind, this past Presidential Inauguartion of Barack Obama brought in a whopping 9.0 rating, so in other words folks, it was a huge hit and I'm sure this show will define the year 2010 in television. If you didn't watch the episode, folks you missed out on an outstanding episode. From the opening skit/monologue all the way to the credit crawl it was absolutely PHENOMENAL! And I hope and pray that NBC will release this episode on DVD, I know I'll pick it up for sure if it's ever released! Take a look at some of my favorite skits that I laughed my a** off at.

Introducing TMB Music Charts!!

This is a pretty cool concept... at least in my head (no pun intended :) ). I decided that I would make a chart of some of the songs that are stuck in our heads every week and songs that are always on the radio! So here is the first TMB! All of the songs this week will have a (=) beside them. That's because this is the first week of the chart. As time goes by, those songs may have a (+) or a (-). A plus means the songs has gotten higher up the chart, minus means it has dropped down.

10: (=) Blah Blah Blah by Ke$ha
9: (=) Say Aah by Trey Songz
8: (=) In My Head by Jason Derulo
7: (=) Imma Be by Black Eyed Peas
6: (=) Do You Remember by Jay Sean
5: (=) Sexy Chick by David Guetta feat. Akon
4: (=) BedRock by Young Money
3: (=) Telephone by Lady Gaga
2: (=) Need You Now by Lady Antebellum
1: (=) Rude Boy by Rihanna

Honorable Mentions:
Hard by Rihanna
When I Look At You by Miley Cyrus
Carry Out by Timbaland feat. Justin Timberlake

Dishonorable Mentions:
TiK ToK by Ke$ha and Bad Romance by Lady Gaga
The radio abuses these songs too much and honestly I think they play them just to waste radio waves. They were awesome songs but the radio ruined them completely to the point where you drive insane hearing these songs on the radio everyday you're leaving after a long day from work! So TiK ToK and Bad Romance get a big fat ZERO this week!

How Low by Ludacris
Who doesn't want to pull their hair out when you hear this song? I mean seriously it's annoying with the little chipmunk chanting "HOW LOW CAN YOU GO!". It just makes me scream bloody murder! I'm sorry but this song is annoying in so many ways I cannot describe it!

Random Videos!

I thought since I was bored I would put up some random videos from YouTube that I thought were interesting!  

A YouTube Poop! Super awesome... hope I do one of these one day!

OK so this is just plain awkward! A rapping granny!? WOW! That's beyond awkward... and honestly touches on very creepy subjects! But it's still a good kneeslapper!

WHERE'S THE BEEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SITTIN ON DHA TOILET!!!! SITTIN ON DHA TOILET!!! NOW FLUSH!!!

Social Networking Taking Over the World! By Tyler!

Twitter, MySpace, Facebook... there are many social networking websites that have surrounded the internet industry and turned our perspective of long distance relationships... well to the next level. Yea... there was once the IM and e-Mail craze! You know when you were talking to some stranger you didn't know with no picture. But now, it seems as if Twitter is a stalker's dream website since of course normal people put every single thing they do on Facebook and Twitter. Like "Goin to the mall", or the classic, "I'm bored don't know what to do", trust me I've used and abused that one too! So why is it social networking was the next-gen Instant Messaging? We honestly don't know... maybe it's the fact you can upload pics, post blogs, status updates, etc. And at the same time, talk to your friends. Many people say it's just a fad and will sooner or later phase out just like AIM did. But wait, there is still a great amount of people who IM, I use IM occasionally to privately communicate with people. Because, honestly, I don't want some weirdo from school who I half way know see my conversation with Betty-Sue on my profile. Who wants that anyway? Maybe it's convenient to see what your "friends" are up to, but honestly, since when has anyone enjoyed MySpace in the past year? Everyone is complaining that it sucks. Well I can really take that opinion in because your so-called "friends" rank their friends by a Top Friends list. Which completely singles out many people on your MySpace! Another thing, a weirdo sending you nasty messages. And no I don't mean porno, I mean rude, mean messages that can hurt and insult somebody, and to top it off, it's online! So it could be on there FOREVER, even after you delete it, some creep might copy and paste the post on something else and it will never leave! EVER! So maybe its good, bad, ugly? I've always thought that there's always pros and cons to everything, especially the Internet!

Bored!

Yep! I'm at school extremely bored. Because we had to do some brochure lol...ohh gotta go to lunch
