New Catching Fire Still

 

Yahoo! has exclusively revealed this brand new Catching Fire still, featuring Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss), Josh Hutcherson (Peeta), and Elizabeth Banks (Effie)! Also, a new Catching Fire trailer will be revealed this Saturday at Comic-Con International - I will be there to share all the goodness I can!

What do you think of this still? I am in love with Peeta's hair. I love it. I usually don't like the slimey greased back look, but I have been really digging it on Justin Timberlake for example. Even the Beibs. there is something almost trendy about Peeta... sexy! Also loving Effie, as always... Katniss looks good too...

Anyhow... what do you think of the costumes and look?

We get a montage of clips from Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn. 41 teen choice awards won by Twilight cast (Choice Romance, Choice Actress (KStew) win this year)

Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson come out and accept surf boards. Rob gives his away, Kristen follows suit. Taylor looking like he doesn't want to start a riot leaves hi on stage and maybe asks Zachary to give it away ?>!?!

Demi Lovato who won last year, presents Miranda Cosgrove(iCarly) the inspire award.

Lea Michele and Tyler Posey come out and ask who is cooler Vampires or Werewolves? Tyler is hyped he won an award, having met this kid last week at Comic-Con let me say - nicest ever! I asked him about the People's Choice Awards with Kayley Cuoco and he told me the whole story and was so chill.. more about that when I post my SDCC Journal for Saturday (Including the EW Party)

Anyways, Taylor Swift wins a shit load of awards,a s always and is gracious and uses her "surprised" face slightly less than usual which is nice because as cute as it was the first 100 times, it does get old. Love Swifty, she is pretty genuine. She thanks everyone involved in the Hunger Games and she won a ton for that song, Lorax, and her own music - it's insane.. she wins more awards that I even know or can list. Good on her!

Bridgette Milner and Shane West (RAWR!) introduce (or try to, fans are screaming) Justin Bieber (He won over 70 awards, 4 tonight for Male artist, fashion, single and more) ....

He performs - kills it - He is pretty awesome! I love him not only because he is Canadian, but he really is hard working and my daughter adores him!

****POWER SURGE*****

My power went out - I blame my over power use... PVRing True Blood, TCAs, bachelorette, Big Brother and blogging while Hubs is video gaming heh heh ....

Got back on just in time for....

Josh Hutcherson wins big!! Choice Lip Lock with Jennifer Lawrence, Choice Book, Choice Sci-Fi, Choice Male Sci Fi, Choice Movie Sci Fi, just awesome!

He beat out Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, and other amazing nominees!

Twilight fans are pissed... I have to say it doesn't bug me at all, EXCEPT the lip-lock... the Katniss/Peeta kiss (Josh and Jen) was so tame and awkward... Obviously the Breaking Dawn wedding kiss was far more intense and should have won!

Gordon Ramsay is out with a guy and a monkey to present Choice Summer Music Star: One Direction wins along with Choice Breakout Group and Choice Love Song is "What Makes you Beautiful" but since they are not there, they send a video...

Chris Hemsworth wins an award for SWATH and avengers. they thanks Pauly D the dj of the night, The hosts both wins awards too and Cat Deely then introduces Carly Rae Jepson, after showing the video of people acting / singing / dancing to Call Me Maybe.

I loved all the celebs singing the song too ha ha... love it...

And that was the TCAs - hope you enjoyed them!

#MMVAs

I have been tumblr-ing all night but wanted to share a few things from MMVAs - will update and post throughout the show.

Red Carpet

If you havent' watched MMVAs, you should, Canada is weird. I can say this because I am Canadian. It is in Toronto, it is a giant outdoor red carpet street and it is known for insane, outrageous arrivals. Unique vehicles, strange stunts. I should do a post JUST on those arrivals fromt he past - insanity!

Anyways.... Just started watching.... check back often and will re-post/update as the night goes on.....

Justin with a baby - his brother? BUt posing with local gal Carly Rae Jepsen raised some questions, especially with Selena arriving solo in a super short gold dress.... ha! But then Selena is holding a kid - is this a Bieber too? I am confused - - -












Side note - is that DEAN???





Katy Perry is there looking great, she has a buncha kids dressed as mini Katy Perry (from various music videos) cute, but watching the PR people try to organize all the kids for photo shoots every 2 meters is hilarious.









Chord Overstreet looking a bit hary but still cute:



Cody Simpson:


**MORE SOON**

The Show

You should also know, MMVAs is an outdoor concert with some awards given away on the side. It is unlike most awards shows where there is a stage and speeches and such.... it is mostly live performances and pretty unscripted, live, random - lot's of weird stuff typically goes on and it always feels completely unorganized.

LMFAO do a lil' skit with cameos from Hedley, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry.... then they open the show with "Party Rockin" they end their performance by spraying champagne on the audience, which is mostly 12 year olds I think.... but they are in bright yellow ponchos so somehow it seems ok... maybe? They move into "Sexy and I know it" (I work out) with the "famous" wiggle wiggle - one has an elephant underwear with an extra long trunk omg!

It then moevs stages to Carly Rae Jepsen swinging on a telephone singing "Call me Baby"

I have to say her voice seems a bit strained - as did the LMFAO fro guy - I do appreciate it's all live and sung as such, no lip synching!

After the opening credits we welcome Canadian Shanae Rimes (sp?) who interned at Much Music as a teenager, and is the annoying Annie on 90210. Her dress slits were super high on both sides...

She presented International Video of the Year Artist: Beyonce, Chris Brown ft JB, David Guetta ft Nicky Minaj, Florida, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull ft Ne-Yo, Rihanna ft Alvin Harris (enough nominations yet? OMG!)

Winner: Katy Perry - Last Friday Night

She comes out in a new dress/pant suit and high pony. "Hello Canada" she thanks everyone.

Lauren Toyota - she is annoying - I have to listen to her in every commercial break of Teen Wolf and PLL... *le sigh* she looked hot though!

LMFAO the co-hosts are back being loud and obnoxious... "Canada is the first place... they hosted an awards show, went #1 and learned they are allergic to maple syrup" I hope they are on drugs, because their behaviour is otherwise unnatural....

They go through last year's lost and found.... and give it away "yea baby" "ya dig?"

a hat, a red solo cup, heels, but Selena Gomex runs out in some giant heels to claim "last year's heels" - since she hosted last year... so LMFAO seeks advice from Selena... "ya dig?"

- host needs wardrobe changes (LMFAO has 48 planned)
- pronounce names right (difficult, they can't even say LMFAO right)
- give audience what they want (right now they want Marianna's Trench)

They perform and crowd surf, one gal is groping his ass ha ha

Lauren Toyota returns and introduces some people. Far East Movement and a victoria duffield girl who is Canadian but I don't know who she is.

They present award for Int'l video of the year for a Canadian

Avril Lavine, Drake ft Rihanna, JB, Nickelback, Simple Plan,

Winner is: Justin Bieber - crowd goes ape shit crazy, he comes out touching girls hands in the front row. "What's up Toronto, What's up Canada, What's up Guys?" he thanks everyone including fans, friends, and tells them to get his album.

Angelie(?) and Dragonette talk about hwo not to be nervous - one says they picture people naked - they point out an actual naked guy in the audience - oh yes....

Reminder to vote for fave artist.

Another commercial break

COdy Simpson comes out - he high fives as many people as possible in ten seconds. Then they present award for int'l video of the year group

Bad meets evil ft bruno mars, cobra starship, cold play, foster the people, gym class heros ft adam lavine, lmfao, maroon 5 ft xtina, one direction, selena gomez, the wanted, yes a lot of nominees

winner: LMFAO

OBVS rigged - there is no way they beat all those others!

Out comes Down with Webster out of breath from partying at the after party that they are still at from last year - oh kay - they introduce Nelly Furtado to perform.

I saw her on the carpet and I have to say she is looking older, fine, but more plastic - her stage outdfit and look was better than the carpet in my opinion

More people, more stuff...

Darren Criss comes out with LMFAO and he criticizes LMFAO for party rocking too loud so he couldn't hear anything LOL LMFAO is "sorry for party rocking" Darren doesn't believe them because they lack emotion - Darren does a broadway version....

"SORRY FOR PARTY ROCKING"

EPIC

LOVE IT!!

Darren then introduces ED SHEERAN - who performs - amazingly!

Some guy I dunno introduces Flo Rida who sings then and Carly Rae joins him for "wild one"

Love lil Rico from Modern family - he is a super star - he comes out as the shuffle bot (LMFAO robot) he pulls it off too! Talented kid!

He introduces Hedley - I love Jacob Hoggard hard - he is so cute and I totally adored him on Canadian Idol... He is a local boy, I have seen him play local gigs, seen him shopping, seen him at fright nights at playland, it isn't a big deal I guess - but on tv I still drool over him LMAO

Chord Overstreet comes out with a rose to look for his biggest fan... he gives it to a fan and gals around her tore it up trying to take it - brutal - reminds me of Breaking Dawn Part 1 Tent City concert with the cut out Bella and Edward.

Carly Rae Jepsen, Down with Webster, Drake, Hedley, Marianas Trench

Winner is: Carly Rae Jepsen who comes out in a new dress similar to Shinae Grimes...

Carly says a name in her speech that I know - from highschool - so i go to his facebook page and sure enough he is dating Carly Rae Jepsen ha ha random - I knew she was local but wow - small world! I also thought she was 17 not almost 30 - ha ha random!

She then introduces Kelly Clarkson who performs - she is very blonde.

Out come Degrassi people with Lights to present an award for face group or artist.

Drake, Hedley, jb, carly rae, marianas trench

winner is: Justin Bieber

Fro-off with Perez Hilton wearing a fro with LMFAO - they introduced Katy perry who performed.

Carly Rae Jepsen wins again!!!

Justin Bieber 'Girlfriend' Music Video Teaser from 'The Voice'

I am on a teeny-bopper-boy-band kick (One Direction for example) but I am REALLY REALLY loving my 9 year old daughters taste in music lately....

Just Bieber's newest single "Girlfriend" I just can't get enough, so when they did the music video teaser on The Voice tonight, it made me giddy.... Just watch:

Justin Beiber does the Edward Cullen hair for new photoshoot

I am taking my kiddo to see that 3D Never Say Never Movie next week. Justin Beiber is Canadian and young and talented so I don't hate on him.

Here is the newest via Twifans....

Justin Bieber took a behind the scenes pic at his Rolling Stone cover photoshoot. What do you think about his new do? Can he pull off the "Robert Pattinson"? Or pass for a very convincing Edward Cullen?

VMAS 2010

I posted Reasons to watch 2010 VMAs but really, they weren't all that entertaining.


On my list I was looking forward to a few things, so let's talk about those first and if they measured up to my expectations (not really) then I will discuss other things that happened.

More...
First Taylor vs Kanye

This was anti-climatic.

She sang a forgiveness song that was sweet and slow and had subtle burns but more in a "i feel sorry for you" kind of way. The lyrics are here.

Then Kanye closed the show with a song that made me laugh mostly, though admitedly I had a moment of heartfelt emotion toward him... pity!

He has been such a jerk and his song says "Let's toast to the douchebags, let's toast to the assholes, let's toast to the scumbags" and part of me was laughing at the fact he uses those lyrics while another part of me felt sad he actually feels that way about himself... then I realized he is an ego-maniac who needs medication and it's actually progressive that he can accurately identify himself as a scumbag, asshole douche...

ANYWAYS - - -

Performances...

Some were not memorable, others were amazing.. stand out for me was Eminem opening up the show.... it's a shame he had to leave right after for a show in NYC.. he won a few awards he couldn't accept, not even by video and it kinda sucked actually.

His performance, however, was awesome... really love him! Rihanna showed up to sing also which was a shocker, she was supposedly unable to make it ha ha.

all the other performances were great, especially Florence + the Machine and Usher... I even liked lil Justin Beiber or Bieber or Beaver or whatevs... interestingly enough Usher was out of breath while dancing and singing while the Beaver wasn't even as he was tossed into the air... and his drum solo miraculously kept going even when one stick broke - - - ha ha ha

Jersey Shore

The trash of 2010 - they were in the hot tub and Chelsea got ina nd came out preggers, hilarious, I love that they are the punchline of every joke, and they don't care, I mean even with that kind of money do ou not look in the mirror and wonder wtf am i?

Lady GaGa

I was looking forward to her outfits, and she did not disappoint... nor did her speeches to be honest...

"I never thought I'd be asking Cher to hold my meat purse"

Before Cher announced the winner she said something along the lines of her being "the oldest, biggest hair, smalles outfit" and having "shoes older than some nominees" it was awesome!

After winning video of the year she announced the title of her upcoming album and sang a line, live, randomly from it. She was even a bit emotional! So non-gaga but awesome, even in a meat dress.

Chelsea was a good host, some odd humour, some over the top humour (Ride Joe / Alcide's face home) a nice opening act with Lindsay Lohan saying tha tno one wants to work with a drunk, she should know ha ha a few funny clips I really love that the stars can make fun of themselves, it's awesome!





Overall nothing really too exciting... but I watched anyways ha ha

Thoughts?

"We are the World" re-make

Stars perform at the "We Are The World 25 Years for Haiti" recording session held at Jim Henson Studios on Feb. 1 in LA. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/Handout)

How different is the "We are the World" remake from the original version, which shined a light on famine in Africa 25 years ago?

Well, Lil Wayne is singing Bob Dylan's verse this time around and Justin Bieber is singing Lionel Richie's opening line. And as far as the sound goes, mtv.com said it has a "modern Southern hip-hop bounce to it."

As if that isn't confusing enough for your grandparents, the video is being shot in 3-D.

Mandy's Mind - The Grammy's 3D was an epic fail - unless red/blue 3D glasses start coming with every television set it's just blurry and headachey to watch the 3D.

The remake has been in the works for a while but changed its focus last month after the earthquake in Haiti. "We Are The World - 25 for Haiti," recorded in a Hollywood studio on Monday (they wanted to take advantage of the star power in town for the Grammys), will now have a Haiti angle. All profits from the single will go to the earthquake victims.

The original song, which featured Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles and Diana Ross, raised $63 million.

Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie brought back the "We Are the World" project 25 years after Richie wrote the song with Michael Jackson.

The very large cast of very large stars was surely hard to manage. Kanye West reportedly showed up to the Jim Henson Studios with an entourage complete with girlfriend Amber Rose and a film crew. In 1985, Quincy Jones did his best to get his talent in line by hanging a sign over the studio entrance that said, "Check Your Ego at the Door."

Mandy's Mind - I heard on the radio that Taylor Swift opted out... knowing Kanye West was there, I don't blame her. I would have rather had her than Kanye quite honestly! And the "Check your Ego at the Door" should have been enforced this time, 25 years later, when ego's are out of control from people such as Kanye and others on the list.

While the orginal recording was sold to raise money in the fight against world famine, the remake will be sold to benefit victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti. Many stars have already started talking about the experience, and it sounds like it will match up to the original.

Nicole Richie was there with her father, Lionel Richie, when he worked on the original. This time she was there with husband Joel Madden and their son, Sparrow. She wrote on her Twitter Monday, "WOW. Brian Wilson stood next to me & I got to hear him sing right into my left ear. Can you say AWESOME!"

Meanwhile young singer Justin Bieber said he could barely keep his eyes off Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls. He Tweeted, "Singing We Are The World right now with celine dion next to me!! Everyone is here!! I'm meeting everyone!! This is insane! Ok ok chill."

The full list of all 81 choir singers hasn't yet been released, but here are some of the stars we know were there.
