YouTube Friday: Dynamite

Alright! Here is the first day of YouTube Friday! Many of you have probably already seen these video's. But I hope you will enjoy them. If you'd like to suggest a YouTube video for an upcoming Friday, leave me a comment with the link, or email me at ameznewz@gmail.com.

Enjoy!

Mark Tompkins: He makes all the sounds with his mouth. Pretty Cool.

Then He taught the Morning Show how to do it, and they released this video. Kind of funny cause you can tell some of them can't really sing, but its fun to watch.


This one I just happened to find, and I really enjoyed his version of Dynamite. He plays the instruments himself and sings. Still a lot of talent going on here.

People's Choice Awards

I have to admit that I didn't see the whole award show, but I caught the end. Queen Latifah hosted the People's Choice Award and there were a couple of things that bugged me. 1) I didn't like how they kept saying things like, "Hello People" "He is a People" "Wave to the People". The vibe I got was just because we're not a celebrity we're just... People. I'm sure they were just trying to be funny, but maybe it was the mood I was in, and I took it like they were talking down to us people. lol 2) There were a lot of awkward moments of Queen Latifah hosting in just the last twenty minutes or so. There were times I was just embarrassed for her especially when she was talking to Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. She was pretending to freak out when she tapped Jacob on the leg. It was really uncomfortable. I just wanted her to save herself and sit down. Then she asked Rob if they flew in on a private plane and he said something english, and she started making fun of his accent. I know she was just trying to be funny, but I mostly felt bad for her, and wished a Ninja would drop from the celling and steal the mic from her. 3) Why is Kristen Stewart so awkward in public when she speaks? Is it nerves? I hope so.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse took home, Favorite movie of 2010. Congrats to all the winners of 2010...We the People voted for you. LOL Click Here for the list of winners for the People Choice Awards.

My Take on The Craigslist Killer, Pretty Little Liars, The Biggest Loser and Parenthood

The Craigslist Killer (Lifetime Movie): The movie starts off at school where Philip is working towards being a doctor. He sees a girl while doing his residency that he ends up asking out, Megan. For their first date he took her gambling. Who does that? Seriously? Nothing says I’d love to go with you on another date than gambling. LOL
Six months into their relationship Megan moved in with Philip and he proposes to her. Before she would accept his proposal she wanted him to meet her parents. After he charms her parents and gets her fathers approval, he proposes one more time just outside her parents house as they are about to get in the car.
During their engagement Philip starts becoming the Craigslist killer. He starts off by just meeting girls from the Internet and taking their undies as a souvenir, and putting it under the same mattress that he and Megan slept on. One thing leads to another; maybe for a bigger thrill he goes and gets a gun, and a bunch of duck tape from the store. I wont ruin the ending for you incase you haven’t seen it yet and are planning to do so, but this I can tell you. With this being a “Lifetime Movie” I planned on a lot more cheesiness and funny lines. There really wasn’t a lot of that. The acting was really good, and they may have just pulled off the super cheesy lines. LOL


Pretty Little Liars: So I got all caught up on PLL (Pretty Little Liars) before the season premier Monday night. I have to say that I really like the show. I love all the drama. I also love trying to figure out the mystery. I know that PLL is based off of a book series and I’m super tempted to read the books so I can find out who this A is. It’s kind of driving me nuts. I have my suspicions of who it is-and I could be totally wrong.

Here is my list:
Melissa (Spencer’s Sister): Those two seem like there is a lot of bad blood between them even though they are trying to cover some of that up right now. I think there is enough motive for her to be A. Why not put her sister threw the ringer and drag her friends along for the ride? Melissa could also be working with Ian?
Jenna (The Blind Girl): I don’t think she is blind. She has also been around some of the events where A has left messages, but I do think that someone could be helping her out.
Lucas (Hanna’s Yearbook Friend): After watching the episode twice, I’m convinced that he is the one that left the message on Hanna’s cast because A apologizes about earlier and then says Love A. I think he has been a “fan” of the whole group, and he’s been around watching them for years. Below is a conversation that Allison has with Hanna, and I think Allison ended up telling the truth at the wrong time.
Something that bugged me about the episode was how long does someone need to be in the hospital for, for a broken leg? Days? I mean, be a man, rub some dirt in it! Can’t you just lay in bed and take those meds at home, instead of being in the hospital for days? I mean really?
The funniest line of the show is when Jenna (the blind girl) overhears Emily calling to see Toby in jail, and they get into a little tiff. Emily says this to Jenna. "Somebody should have stepped between you too a long time ago. Maybe a social worker with a bucket of ice water."
I decided to add the conversation the Allison has with Hanna while she is in the hospital. It could be important, and the dialog is kind of funny.
Allison: Did you miss me? Here I am. It’s complicated Hanna. Really complicated. Worse than Algebra Hanna.
Hanna: What happened when you left the barn? We all want to know.
Allison: You already do. The four of you combined. You remember more about that night than you think you do.
Hanna: Where'd you go? To meet a boy? Noel?
Allison: Noel? Please.
Hanna: Please just tell me the truth.
Allison: It won't make a difference, darling.
Hanna: How can you say that?
Allison: Because I know. You think the truth is some shinning disco ball of purity? Then go ahead and try it. Be honest. See what it gets you. Telling the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time is how I ended up where I am. Take it from me; you're always better off with a really good lie. Gotta Go.
Hanna: Where?
Allison: I was so scared that you were going to die. That's why I came back. I didn't care how dangerous it was. I had to see you. You know I really should do something about A.

Also in this episode, Lucas sneaks into Hanna’s hospital room and kisses her on the forehead. When confronted later, Hanna says she just likes him as friends and Lucas leaves all mad.
Emily tells her dad that she is gay.
And the tree that had the heart carved in it Allison Loves Ian has been cut down, and the last scene is the log burning of the carving in the tree.
Message Hanna’s cast:
Sorry about losing my temper. My Bad
Love A

Who do you think is A?
















The Biggest Loser: The show started out where contestants instead of going to their first work out they had their first challenge. Teams who finished a 5k first got to pick their trainers. They either got Bob and Jillian or Two Mystery trainers and four weeks of immunity.
What bugged me the most about the whole episode was they never showed the stupid new trainers! How irritating! They had all they hype and I don’t know why they couldn’t just show us. I mean really? Do they have scary looking and have warts all over their face? Is this really necessary to drag out another whole week?
It was funny cause Jillian said that she wasn't going to yell this season. Bob made fun of her saying, "Jillian saying she's not going to yell is like saying a lion won't roar, or a cat won't purr." He went on and on. Totally made me laugh.


Parenthood: Adam shows up to the shelter where Haddie has been working and met her boyfriend. (who is a recovering alcoholic) to invite him over for dinner so they could meet him. Max says some pretty funny things while Haddie boyfriend Alex is over like…”You’re black.” Or “Oh you’re poor.” I was totally laughing. Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be if that happened to you? HA HA Although Haddie’s parents were impressed on how Alex has changed his life and is making better choices, they decide to tell Haddie that she can no longer date Alex. When she later sees Alex she doesn’t tell him. Dun dun dun… Who can blame Haddie when she gets to kiss darker chocolate when it has richer the taste? Why can't parents see how happy their kids are and trust them a little? I guess they wouldn't be parents then would they?

Jasmine asks for Crosby’s help in disciplining their son Jabar. Crosby first tries to teach Jabar to help out by talking to him man to man, but when Jabar rats on him after cleaning his whole room for him—Jasmine gets mad and tells him he can no longer be his friend and needs to be his father. Crosby lays down the law when Jabar doesn’t listen to him about cleaning his room and instead gets called, “The Worst Dad in the world.” OUCH!

Sarah’s son, Drew tells his friends at school that he had a beer with his grandpa and his friends invite themselves over for one. Zeke, Drew’s grandpa walks in and stops the party and sends the rest of the boys home. Drew ends up telling his mom about the beer he shared with his grandpa and Sarah gets mad at her dad, who promises to let her handle the problem. Sarah decides to tell her kids a little about the real problem their dad had with drinking, and that the problem could be genetic and they need to be extra careful. Sarah also decides with the New Year to set a goal not to date all year. I don’t know about you but I’m thinking when John Corbett comes into the picture that could change? I guess we’ll have to wait and see for next week.

Can't wait for Modern Family tomorrow. On ABC.

Parenthood: Guest Starring John Corbett


I believe in Season 1 of Parenthood, Lauren Graham's character only interacts with her ex-husband once in the first episode played by Darin Heames, and he was what I remember as scary looking. My eyes can rest easy knowing that John Corbett will now be playing her ex-husband on the show.



I've noticed lately that John Corbett has been playing a lot of roles playing a father. He was recently on a Holiday Halmark movie the November Christmas, and Ramona Beezus. I really love seeing him in the role of a father. He does such a great job at it and it will be fun to see what he does with this character. John is really one of those actors that I love more and more I see him on screen.

In Parenthood, Corbett plays a recovering achoholic who has been sober for nine months, and is coming to town with his band. While in town he tries to reconnect with his kids. For now, sources say he will be in three episodes. source

Parenthood, returns TODAY on NBC 10/9c! Be sure to check it out! Another source says Parenthood could be in trouble because ratings were down the first half of the season.

Sandra and Ryan, Ringing in the New Year Together

Many of you have watched the movie The Proposal, Starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. The movie is a romantic comedy where Ryan is an assistant to Sandra, who plays his controlling boss and tricks him into marrying her, by promising to promote him. (so she wont get deported to Canada) And they end up falling in love along the way.

After hearing about Jessie James cheating on Sandra, I always thought she and Ryan should hook up, but Ryan was married to Scarlett Johansson. Well not so much anymore! Friends told PEOPLE that Sandra and Ryan rung in the new year together at Sandra's restaurant Bess Bistro.

Although they have never been more than friends and as of now they are saying, "There is nothing romantic between them." I wouldn't be surprised to see this Hollywood couple hooking up! Don't you think they make a cute couple? They had great onscreen chemistry and I think they would become Hollywoods HOTTEST couple of this happened.

I'm So Excited...I'm So Scared


Elizabeth Berkley was a well known character on Saved By the Bell. She played Jessie Spano (Zack next door neighbor). Elizabeth played a character that was very serious about her academics and getting into Harvard, and was usually paired with AC Slater (Mario Lopez). Although Mario is much more attractive now, it makes you wonder what she thought about that mullet he wore?

I'm now going her (Liz). Liz went out for the role of Kelly Kapowski. The producers had a hard time deciding between Liz and Tiffiany Thiessen, so they created the role of Jessie Spano for her. She played Jessie Spano for four years and decided it was time to try something different.

So Liz went off and did the movie Showgirls. A role definitely different from her role on SBTB. She said this about Showgirls. "Ever since those reviews for Showgirls (1995), it's like I was that woman in "The Scarlet Letter". Except that instead of having to wear the letter "A" for adulteress, I was condemned to wear an "S" for "showgirl".


Since Showgirls, Liz has tried to pick better roles. Liz said, "It's been a very conscious choice on my part to work with the best - even if it was taking a small supporting role. After Showgirls (1995), I really wanted to surround myself with the best people. I wanted to build it that way instead of doing flashy roles just like "Showgirls", which would have hurt me."


Since Showgirls Liz has been featured on, CSI Miami, Law & Order, Threshold, Without a Trace, CSI, NYPD Blue, Jack and Jill, and the First Wives Club to name a few.


Here are some other cool facts about Liz you may not know.
*
She has two different colored eyes-one is green and half brown and the other eye is green.

*She tried out for the movie Annie, but didn't get the part because she was too tall.

*Liz wore a$600 form-fitting gown made entirely of collard greens for the "Lettuce Be Lean" campaign sponsored by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals. According to "People Weekly", a source claims "she had to be misted every 20 minutes, like a produce section". (Some people might think this is a bad idea to wear food for a dress. Well here are some thoughts I have. 1.) Liz was ahead of her time, Lady Gaga now wears food often as a dress. So really Liz is a trend setter and way ahead on the times. Makes you wonder if she ever used Screech's time machine or something? It just took 13 years before Gaga would try it. 2.) When she got bored or hungry at the campaign, all she had to do was pull off a collard green. I'm sure this made her the most popular person there, and she most likely had spray butter in her purse.)

*Liz married been married since 2000 to her husband Greg Lauren, who is a famous nude painter. (Sounds a little like Titanic to me-without the sinking ship of course.)




Here is a fun clip of Liz on SBTB

Happy New Years! From AMezNewz

Happy New Years! I realize this is a little late, but that is okay. My friend showed me this video-New Years Eve. The video is a bit cheesy but the song is cool. And we also needed a little Firework from Katy Perry. I hope just like Katy-that fireworks exploded from your chest this New Years.

I hope your New Years brings you Happiness, Rain, and Laughter.
