Heidi Montag, according to US Weekly, has been cast in a movie. This is enough to make me put down my AB Pure and contemplate taking my own life...but it gets worse. She has signed on to be in a movie...a LEGIT movie with Nicole Kidman, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.
Who's fault is this? This better be a 2 second cameo that results in someone making fun of her fake face or I am gonna be pretty annoyed.
Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are currently filming a new flick called I'm With Cancer on Burnaby, BC.
J. Levitt plays a 25 year old guy who gets cancer and has to face the reality of his life or something like that. I love Levitt in (500) Days of Summer so he better bring it in this movie. And what is with Rogen playing supporting actor "funny" characters in movies about people dying (ie. Funny People)...those types of movies should not even attempt humour.
I refuse to believe that I am the only Backstreet Boys Fan left out there...I mean, people still like New Kids on the Block for Crying out loud.
Anyways, for those other fans out there I have some very exciting news for you...this December there will be a Backstreet Boys cruise!
The details are limited at this point. It will be leaving from Florida and heading south and tickets go on sale to the general public on March 22. But no price yet...what the hell is with that. I will update everyone later once it is released.
SO EXCITING!!!
UPDATE:Here is more information on prices and dates. Pre-sale is tomorrow...but (as it states on their website MULTIPLE times) you must be a fan member to get the reservation. $799 per person based on double occupancy doesn't really sound that great to me...anyone else?
Starting in May I will be doing a monthly post dedicated to one Calgarian who I will dub Infected with Awesomeness.
I plan on spreading the XOXO Jes love to all areas and walks of life in this city. This person doesn't have to be famous, but people should know who they are (besides their mom, dad, grandma, and neighbour)...people who are infected with awesomeness tend to be known. They don't have to be Mayor, but it would help. They don't have to be a Flame, but that would up their cred. They don't have to be internationally known, but that would probably make the chances better that I would know who they are...cause let's face it, if I don't know who you are...you are nothing.
Have any suggestions for my Infected with Awesomeness list? Send your nominations and suggestions to news.xoxojes@gmail.com (if possible include a photo...a post isn't a post without a photo).
I am going to leave this with my readers to figure out what is awesome based on me. If you are an avid reader you will know what I think is awesome and what I think is lame.
Good luck to all nominees...this will be a greater honor than winning an Oscar.
XOXO Jes...
Nomination eligibility: Must have been/be a Calgarian (born in Calgary, currently residing in Calgary, or lived in Calgary for a substantial period of time - honorary citizens of Calgary also accepted). Must be human (no pets or non-living things). Must have done something substantial (not necessarily in this city but it helps. Can't win just based on good looks...unless they are on fire hot, then I will reassess). Nominee's do not have to know that they are being nominated, but they may be contacted pre-IWA post. This is not a must, but if the nominee has been tazered at any point in their life their awesomeness factor will go up and it will better their chances at winning.
Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato are dating. Why the hell are the Jonas Brothers still in the news? Aren't the tweens over that shat already? Bieber fever all the way.
So yeah I guess Demi admit to this top secret relationship on an interview with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush. Good job AH, you are basically solving the worlds problems by getting this teen to admit to her dating life. Now if you could only find Osama our lives would be complete.
The Calgary Artist for Haitian Relief concert was held on Wednesday night. It took me so long to put up this post because I REALLY wanted to include a video that I took and the upload process was all screwy. No fear, all is well...we have the video and now a few words about the night.
The night started out with obvious success because the organizers were able to wrangle in my favorite, the Mayor of C-Town, Dave Bronconnier (Bronco) to open with a speech that made me want to go and win an Olympic gold medal...I don't remember what he said, but I remember being inspired.
15 year old Jan Lisiecki opened the night musically on the piano playing some classical tunes...with his eyes closed the whole time. This kid probably is more famous internationally than all the other people combined...he once played with Yo-Yo Ma...don't know who that is? Get cultured bitches.
Then came The Dudes and Michael Bernard Fitzgerald for the rest first act. It was unfortunate that the sound was screwed in the first half. The vocals could not be heard and MBF was drowned out by his own choir.
The second half after the intermission included Kris Demenor, Corb Lund, The Polyjesters and Denise Clarke, Woodpigeon, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and Sheri D. Wilson...this lady did some weird spoken word thing about Alberta - so unfortunate.
All in all it was a pretty good concert...for what it was. You know, thrown together pretty fast with each artist playing a couple of songs and Corb Lund...not really taking it seriously (would you? The man is nominated for a Juno - so is Nickelback, but I won't go there in the spirit of Haitian Relief).
I feel like there are better Calgary artists out there, but the ones that they gave us were pretty legit. I mean, I tried to hire Chad Vangaalen once for $400 but his people turned me down..so I doubt that he would play for free.
At the very end, David Gray (CBC radio personality) who was hosting the evening, got everyone to come out on stage and sing Stand By Me. It was completely awkward and thank God MBF likes to do spur of the moment things because it was an idea bound for failure. Watch this video...with a little narration by Beth.
The money raised from this concert went to help a Canadian founded orphanage in Haiti. Cute.
Despite the fact that he was rocking a half mullet to the Oscars...which I am afraid I will never get over...George brought it on the red carpet. He also brought a flask that I am pretty sure, based on thsi interview, he already drank and refilled for round two.
Ready to lose to Jeff Bridges...yup. Oh George, love ya!
Some of the more desperate-for-fame members of the Twilight cast will be coming to Calgary for the annual Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo on April 24th and 25th at the BMO Centre.
Two of the werewolf boys, Alex Meraz and Tyson Houseman, and Peter Facinelli, who plays Carlisle Cullen, will be attending the event according to the Calgary Sun.
First of all...Calgary has a Comic Expo? Since when? Like I would EVER go...but the new things you learn every day. Actually this doesn't surprise me....because they used to have this weird thing at the university every year where people would come dressed up in FACKED up costumes...I think it was called Ota Fest or something...who knows, all I know is I would stay the hell away from ST around August so I didn't run into the crazies.
Anyways, back to making fun of Twilight. Seriously...I feel like every no name that gets a one word line in those movies are whoring themselves across the Universe. I have never heard of this Meraz or Houseman. I have heard of Facinelli though...you know, since he is married to Jenniw Garth (Kelly from the good 90210) and was in a favorite movie of my youth, Can't Hardly Wait.
I have no idea how one would go about getting tickets to this event and I don't really care. You do the research, it is useless to me.
Michael, for some odd reason, is at the end of his rope. I don't know if it is because his comedy show got cancelled (you should have ditched the other Michael...he brought you down) or if it is because he is just getting tired of twitter (oh GAWD no!)....but his last relevant tweet was:
Basically I have run out of things to say.
What the FACK...then his posts after that have been trying to get people to follow some guy from Iran. What the hell...
I have no reason to be on Twitter if MIB leaves. FML.
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star in The Runaways that is coming out in the very near future.
Reasons I will not go see this movie:
There is no actress more annoying than K Stew and I am not a masochist.
I have no desire to see Dakota Fanning acting in lingerie playing a sexy jailbait singer. She looks the same as she did when she was 8 and it is just plain creepy - as is a 15 year old singing in a corset.
Stewart rocked the Joan Jett mullet for the last year...I don't need two more hours of it.
I am not a fan of Joan Jett, so shoot me. She also rocked a mullet...maybe better than Stewart...but never the less, it was still a mullet.
Kristen Stewart has recently said in the media that no one has asked her yet to host Saturday Night Live. Well obviously not...you are the WORST public speaker known to man kind. You dropped your golden popcorn at the MTV Movie awards and you couldn't even do a 30 second introduction at the Oscars without coughing into the mic. They don't want you!
Ok so the last one doesn't really have anything to do with the Runaways, but I just wanted to say that and not devote a whole post to it. So basically I hate Kristen Stewart so I won't go see the Runaways (plus it probably sucks).
People have been saying for about a week that Izzy (Katherine Heigl) is off Grey's Anatomy. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but at this point does anyone even care? As far as I am concerned after Denny died it was over for her. She just started sucking big time.
Katherine adopted a kid from Asia and was off the show on "maternity leave" and was supposed to return on March 1, but hasn't been back to the set yet. Hum, adopt a child to get out of your Grey's contract...how clever/disgusting.
Again...is there a reason to care here? I don't give a shit about Izzy. I care about McSteamy and Little Grey breaking up. That shat is NOT ok. They need to get back together within the next two episodes or I am gonna lose it.
Shonda...let Heigl go...she is washed up. Focus your time on the big issues like Lexi and Mark, giving more air time to Harper Avery's grandson (HAWT) and fixing Meredith's hair (it was gross last night).
US press secretary Robert Gibbs made good on a bet that he made with Dimitri Soudas, Harpers official spokesperson...if your team wins the Gold I will wear your jersey to a White House press conference and if they lose you do the same.
We won, obviously, and Mr. Gibbs kept his end of the deal.
Well look at that. Americans can take losing in stride.
Natalie Mejia from the band Girlicious was busted for having more than a dozen bags of cocaine on her person. She was driving in a car that was pulled over for speeding when the cops found her stash.
You have to either be a dealer or an idiot to travel with that much coke to begin with. And WHY is it that people always get busted for shit because they are speeding. Rule of thumb...if travelling with illegal substances, guns, animals etc DON'T SPEED and don't draw attention to yourself.
Idiots belong in jail. You're going to the slammer Mejia.
...oh and also, I don't feel bad for her because she was my least favourite on the show. Hated that slut.
