Same Old Playoff Heartbreak

So, this year, in the playoffs, I actually had the opportunity to cheer for someone other than the Ottawa Senators.

Throwing my support behind Wade Redden and the New York Rangers, I had hoped that maybe, just maybe, Wade and I might shake the haunting Sens playoff runs of the past, which always ended up in inevitable hearbreak.

Not even making it to the Finals in '07 was good enough. Having rolled over all the teams we face in the East with such ease, it was a slap in the face to be so brutally out-muscled and out-played by the eventual Stanley Cup Champions, the Anaheim Ducks. And while that was certainly the proudest Spring we went through with the Sens, it was still not what we had all been hoping for.

With the Sens out of the playoff picture this year, I had hoped that perhaps, even though they wouldn't get a chance at glory, that maybe our ol' pal Redden might get a shot at it.

Last week, up 3-1 in the series over the Washington Capitals, it looked like the Rangers were on the brink of advancing and I'd have a little more time with my favourite player (even though I do STILL don't think he looks right in Ranger Blue...)

I shouldn't have got so excited. Or cocky. Because I should've known. I never get to be happy with hockey this time of year. It's just not in the stars for me. Even my "adopted" team chokes and dies.

While I wouldn't consider this the worst I've felt in late-April - not even close - it still made sad to see Washington score late in the third period in last night's thrilling Game 7, effectively ending the season for the Rangers. Even worse was that Wade was he last man back, the only one between Sergei Federov and the goalie, Henrik Lundqvist. Redden was in perfect position, and I don't believe he touched the puck with his stick - essentially, the goal was not his fault.

But why oh WHY does he always have to be the last man back on these horrible game- or series-ending goals?! It literally breaks my heart!!

So yeah...Another playoff season comes to an end for me. Who will with the Cup? I don't give a damn.

Hockey sucks.

Bring on the Wolves!

Here's a quick Blog for those of you desperate for some action around here!

First of all - having recently been wrapped up in all things Twilight, I'm anxiously awaiting the November 20 release date of the next film, New Moon. Up until just yesterday, I hadn't been sure if I'd like the movie, as it was my least favourite book in the series. The reason? A severe lack of Edward in the story.

You see, in New Moon, Edward leaves Bella in an attempt to save her from his dangerous world, and she struggles to get over him. She becomes close friends with Jacob Black, a member of the Quieleute native tribe, who we soon find out can actually morph into a werewolf. I know, I know, you didn't think it could get worse than vampires, right? If anyone had told me I'd be reading about vampires and werewolves and actually enjoying it, I wouldn't have believed 'em either. But trust me, the addition of yet another supernatural creature to the story doesn't make it any less awesome.

So anyways, while I did enjoy the New Moon section of the saga, I didn't really enjoy being Edward-less for so much of the book. How could I possibly survive a movie with so little of "RPattz" (that's what we coolios refer to Rob Pattinson as, apparently) in it??

Oh yeah. Hot wolves, baby!!!

I've been drooling over this photo, featuring Alex Meraz as Paul, Chaske Spencer as Sam, Bronson Pelletier as Jared, and Kiowa Gordon as Embry. These guys make up the rest of the wolf pack, along with Taylor Lautner, returning from the first film, in the role of Jacob.

I'm officially ready for New Moon to hit the big screen. November seems so far away...

Oh, and in a brief Stanley Cup playoffs note - WOO HOO RANGERS!! Up 3-1 in their series vs. Alex the Great & the Washington Capitals, life is good for this sorta-Rangers Fan! And better yet, I picked Wade Redden in my playoff pool, to much laughter and teasing from my family, but guess what - Reds got an assist in the first game, which is one more point than several other players I had chosen. Go Wade!!

Carrie Prejean and Michael Phelps Dating "Casually", Grandma Confirms

Miss California Carrie Prejean is indeed dating bemedalled tanker Michael Phelps. This report was confirmed by Carrie's grandmother herself Jeanette Coppolla to Radar Online. Coppolla informed that "Carrie and Michael have been out to baseball games and lunch... He always calls her when he is in town and they go out.” When asked about Michael Phelp's "Casanova" reputation, Carrie's grandmother did not mince words that her granddaughter is fully aware of that and she's just taking their dates in a stride: "Carrie knows that he has dated a lot of girls but she enjoys going out with him and isn't serious about being in a relationship with him... He's a nice guy and she likes him."

When Carrie Prejean's granny was asked to comment about the Miss USA controversy that her grandchild is involved in a spat against blogger Perez Hilton, Jeanette Coppolla was just surprised that "there were too many gays out there". Jeannette wryly said that: "I don't know why that gay guy Perez was even judging a contest with a bunch of girls. That doesn't make any sense. He should be judging a Chippendale's contest". Uh-oh looks like granny will be next in line to be lashed out by Perez Hilton in his blog! To read the full interview of Jeanette Coppola, visit Radar Online website here and here.

American Idol Predictions April 22 - Who Will Be Voted Off in American Idol Disco Week?

After the performance night comes our American Idol predictions of who will be voted off/eliminated on April 22 (4/22/09). American Idol Disco Week Performance Night has just proven what the Top 7 finalists have in store for us. A few performances were memorable like Kris Allen's and Adam Lambert's. The others were just verging on average and lackluster. Who do you think will land on the Bottom 3 of American Idol Disco Week?

American Idol Live Blogging Results Here

In the Dial Idol predictions, they gathered that Allison Iraheta, Kris Allen and Matt Giraud got the lowest number of votes among the American Idol Top 7 finalists. Based on their data, Dial Idol presented that the two people who will be booted out/kicked off in American Idol Disco Week will be Allison and Kris. Essentially, Dial Idol predicted that none of them appears to be safe for Disco Week. Based on performance, the worst of the lot were Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai and Matt Giraud. Most people believe that Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud should be both be sent home on April 22. But, it seems in the Dial Idol predictions - Lil Rounds seemed to get the most number of voted tonight. Did the campaign of the Vote for the Worst (VFTW) pay off to make their bet stay? Let's find out later on if who will be the unlucky two who will be saying goodbye to the American Idol Season 8 Top 5!

Matt Giraud April 21 "Staying Alive" - American Idol Giraud 4-21 Video

After being saved last week, Matt Giraud tries to redeem himself by singing a Bee Gees original "Staying Alive" as his American Idol April 21 (4/21) Disco Performance. Randy obviously did not like the song choice or arrangement at all, but he praised Matt's singing prowess. Kara thinks Matt brought Disco back, while Paula was happy they made Matt stay last week. Simon was not happy with Matt this week as he did not like the performance and it was not original while it came across as a "desperate" performance to hold him in the competition.

Below is Matt Giraud April 21 "Staying Alive" performance:

Staying Alive Lyrics
by The Bee Gees


Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm.
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right, it's O.K.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin'
And ev'rybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha,
Stayin' alive.
Stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha,
Stayin' alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right, it's O.K.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin'
And ev'rybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha,
Stayin' alive.
Stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha,
Stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere.
Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Stayin' alive
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk.

I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right, it's O.K.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother
Or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

Anoop Desai April 21 "Dim All the Lights" - American Idol Anoop Desai 04-21 Video

Anoop Desai wrapped up the American Idol April 21 (4/21) Disco Night with Donna Summer's "Dim All the Lights". Randy thought the performance was a bit rough -- but it was nice and it could be a song you could hear on the radio. Paula stated that Anoop looked fantastic in his new look, but Simon lashed out that the performance was "mediocre at best -- a worst performance by a mile". Ouch!

Here's Anoop Desai's 4/21/09 performance "Dim All the Lights":

 

Dim All the Lights Lyrics
by Donna Summer


Dim all the lights sweet darling
cause tonight it's all the way
turn up the old Victrola
gonna dance the night away

Love just don't come easy
no it seldom does
when you find the perfect love
let it fill you up

Dim all the lights sweet darling
cause tonight it's all the way, hey baby
turn up the old Victrola
gonna dance the night away

Love just don't come easy
no it seldom does
when you find the perfect love
let it fill you up

Dim all the light sweet honey
cause tonight it's you and me
no need to worry darlin'
cause it's for eternity

Love don't come easy
this you know I understand
I want to be your woman
if you'll be my man
let yourself go freely and I'll
show you things that you've dreamed of
don't think that your dreaming
we've found the perfect love
and I'm like a cup
so fill me up

Dim all the lights sweet darlin'
cause the night is on the way, oh baby
turn up the old Victrola
gonna dance the night away

Do what you want
you can use me all up
take me bottom to top
don't leave even one drop
No, no, no
Do it tonight
you know the moments are right
turn my brown body white
come on, dim all the lights

Dim all the lights sweet darlin'
cause the night is on the way, hey baby
turn up the old Victrola
gonna dance the night away, hey baby
dim all the lights sweet darlin'
dim all the lights sweet honey...

Allison Iraheta had a Donna Summer original "Hot Stuff" in the American Idol 04-21-09 Performance.

Simon felt that she is an underdog but she was brilliant.

If I Can't Have You Lyrics

by Yvonne Elliman

Don't know why
I'm survivin' every lonely day
When there's got to be no chance for me
My life would end
And it doesn't matter how I cry
My tears, so far, are a waste of time
If I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you...uh-huh, oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you...uh-hoh

Can't let go and it doesn't matter how I try
I gave it all so easily to you my love
To dreams that never will come true
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you...uh-huh, oh
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody, baby
If I can't have you...uh-hoh

September Lyrics
by Earth Wind and Fire


Do you remember the 21st night of september?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Now december found the love that we shared in september.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in september
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

Wow, that was good and looks like Kris Allen won't be Bottom 3 tomorrow!

Kris Allen "She Works Hard for the Money" video:

 

She Works Hard For the Money Lyrics
by Donna Summer

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

Onetta there in the corner stand
and wonders where she is and
it's strange to her
some people seem to have everything

Nine a.m. on the hour hand
and she's waiting for the bell
and she's looking real pretty
just wait for her clientele

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

Twenty five years have
come and gone
and she' seen a lot of tears
of the ones who come in
they really seem to need her there

It's a sacrifice working day to day
for little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
just to hear them say that they care

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She already knows
she's seen her bad times
she already knows
these are the good times

She'll never sell out
she never will
not for a dollar bill
she works hard

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right

Lil Rounds April 21 "I'm Every Woman" - American Idol Lil Rounds 4-21 Video

Lil Rounds sang a Chaka Khan original "I'm Every Woman" American Idol April 21 (4/21/09) Performance. Kara says Lil is every woman other than herself. Paula says Lil still did not hit the boiling point. Simon though Lil Rounds was so sad and said that it is a copycat performance! Wasn't good at all!

Lil Rounds "I'm EveryWoman" April 21 Performance video:

 

I'm Every Woman Lyrics
by Chaka Khan

Im every woman, its all in me
Anything you want done, baby
Ill do it naturally
Im every woman, its all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from a to z

I can cast a spell
With secrets you cant tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
But anytime you feel
Danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, cause

Chorus

I can sense your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind

Kim Kardashian is Not Plus-Sized?

Kim Kardashian has recently exhibited her exasperation over the clothing company Forever 21. Kim debunked the company's promotional article that featured her face, their plus-sized dresses and a statement that ran “for a curvier girl that loves fashion.” Take note, the Forever 21 did not indicate Kim Kardashian is plus-sized and I don't know where her reaction was coming from.

The photo above was taken April 18 when Kim Kardashian was vacationing with her family in Mexico. I see nothing wrong with her curves but there's also nothing wrong too by being tagged as a “curvier girl who loves fashion” to promote Forever 21 dresses for plus-sized women. Kim stated in her blog that she's offended:

I am a huge fan of Forever 21 and I'm very happy they have expanded their line to include a plus-size range, but I am not in that size category and this article makes it sound like I am! I am a curvy girl and I love my curves, but curvy and plus-sized are two very different things. I work really hard to maintain my curves while staying slim and healthy, so to be classed as a "fuller-figured woman" of extra large proportions is a little offensive.

For the record, I am a size 2, not 2XL.

Kim just don't overreact. It appears you're just not too confident about your figure. See the Forever 21 promo article below and you be the judge if there's something offensive in there.

Miss California Carrie Prejean Defends Her Stance Against Gay Marriage

Beleaguered Miss USA 2009 first runner up Miss California Carrie Prejean defended her opinion in the question and answer portion that cost her to lose the crown in the Miss USA 2009 beauty pageant. In in an interview with Billy Bush for "The Billy Bush Show", Carrie said that "My sister is a second lieutenant in the Air Force and she is a gay rights activist… She supports gay people, she supports gay marriage. My beliefs have nothing to do with my sister or my mom, or whatever."

Miss Calfornia Carrie Prejean is now faced with numerous criticisms when she answered "We live in a land you can choose same-sex marriage and opposite marriage. In my country, in my family, I believe a marriage should be between a man and a woman.” This was in reference to her answer in the judge's (celebrity blogger Perez Hilton) question about the legalization of gay marriage in the United States. With all the criticisms and the boos she got during the pageant night, Miss California thought that: "It is a very touchy subject and he (Perez Hilton) is a homosexual and I see where he was coming from and I see the audience would've wanted me to be more politically correct," Carrie insisted. "But I was raised in a way that you can never compromise your beliefs and your opinions for anything."

 

In "The Billy Bush Show", Carrie Prejean admitted that her answer eventually cost her to lose the Miss USA 2009 crown - "It did cost me my crown. I wouldn't have had it any other way. I said what I feel... I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that's all I can do." Even her "gay activist" sister was not offended by Carrie's answer, according to her, "My sister is not gay... she said, 'Sis, I'm not offended by anything that you said. We have two different opinions and I love you because of it. I love you because you stood up for what was right, and it's not a matter of being gay or not gay, it's a matter of you competing for Miss USA and getting a question and answering it to the best of your ability." Also Miss California Carrie Prejean did not confirm nor deny that she formerly dated Olympic swimming superstar Michael Phelps “He is a great man… Wouldn't you like to know, Billy Bush? We can talk about that a different day." All we can say is good luck to you Carrie and enjoy yourself being lambasted in Perez Hilton's blog.

Rubina Ali - Dad Sells "Slumdog Millionaire" Child Star for £200,000

Rubina Ali the nine year old girl who played the young Latika in the Oscar Award winning flick Slumdog Millionaire is up for sale for the price of £200,000 ($296,000)! This was the news initiated by the News of the World UK website. Rubina's father Rafiq Qureshi could no longer take the squalor in India's slums that he put his daughter for adoption in exchange for that paltry sum of money. In an interview, Rafiq insisted that "I have to consider what's best for me, my family and Rubina's future." Even Rubina Ali's uncle Mohiuddin is involved in this illegal deal as he commanded this ballooned amount because "The child is special now. This is NOT an ordinary child. This is an Oscar child!"

Reactions to this news caught people in disbelief of how Rubina Ali's father can stomach to hawk his young daughter like she was some kind of commodity. A Middle Eastern family had already expressed their interest of adopting Rubina Ali. Poverty in India is unquestionable but do they really need to sell her while they can ask help to attain what's enough for them? Anyway, please read the in-depth news in the News of the World UK website.
