Recappin\' The Hills...

So, I was gone for a few weeks and
missed out on a lot of Hills recapping.
I was so excited to get back into it…
until I actually watched tonight’s totally
sucky episode. Like most episodes of
The Hills, nothing really happened. In
fact, the entire show can be broken
down into two sentences:
Lauren and Audrina make up.
Spencer acts like a douche in
front of his Nana. Read More...

Avril Speaks, I Get A Little Sick

avril-lavigne-nude At first I thought Perez Hilton just had some sort of weird vendetta against Avril Lavigne. Every week posting something about how she’s the biggest bitch on the planet. I mean, she’s not even famous anymore. Could she really have that giant of an attitude?

Yes.

After reading her little quotefest in Britian’s Q magazine, I truly understood the idiocy of this girl—and almost hurled.

Some shining examples:

Selling 24 million albums hasn’t really affected me”, the singer says when asked about her fame, “but it has changed things. I can’t walk into a room full of people any more without everybody turning their heads.”

I’m tough, I have a look that girls want to copy”, she goes on to say about her image, “and I sound a particular way. It’s good if you’re not easily ignored. And I’m not.”

Not only is Avril humble, but she’s also super charitable:  Read More »

Girl Powaaa…or Something

girl frenzy festival

First, the Spice Girls made their comeback and now another fight for GIRL POWAAA!

Sheryl Crow and Avril Lavigne have come together to organize “GirlFrenzy”, (estrogen overload, anyone?) an all-girl concert scheduled to happen this October.

Performers include Av & Sher, along with Fiona Apple, and “rising stars” like Sara Bareilles, Antigone Rising, and Colbie Caillat (who now?).

Should be interesting to see how many GUYS actually show up to this event. I guess it’s fitting that the concert’s taking place October 27th, Halloween appropriate, seeing as it will haunt the souls of poor boyfriends dragged in tow left and right.

Sorry fellas. Read More »

Heidi Sings, Spencer Raps, I Die a Little Inside.

heidi spencer the hillsHeidi from The Hills wants to be a singer…or a mediocre popstar who lip-syncs in concerts while wearing tiny outfits.

She’s on her way to the mediocre part. Medicore with a side of lame, thanks to her big-headed boyfriend Spencer Pratt.

Body Language”, a song recently leaked to Ryan Seacrest (and subsequently the whole world) is apparently not the first single from Montag, but is obviously on her record, so I am going to judge it.

The tune itself isn’t horrible. It’s not fantastic, but since it samples a catchy, retro beat, it may just have a life in the clubs.

The major problem with “Body Language” is the rap stuck in the middle—the rap that is rapped by Spencer.

Camp Montag and Pratt claim the rap was “just a joke”, but I’m sure it was totally serious until radio listeners everywhere deemed it the weakest attempt at bad-assness since Avril Lavigne. Read More »

The Bitch Does it Again! Avril’s 2nd song controversy

al.jpgPoor, poor Avril. Looks like you better stop giving the finger to the paparazzi and start coming up with more distinct bass lines.

According to Perezhilton, another song on Avril’s new CD The Best Damn Thing is sounding mighty familiar. The first 20 seconds of Lavigne’s song I Don’t Have To Try sounds almost identical to I’m The Kinda by Canadian rocker Peaches.

Recently, the Rubinoos’s (the first band to call Avril a thief) claim over Avril’s Girlfriend was refuted by the pop/punk (but mostly pop) princess’s manager, when he pulled a quote off their myspace page that claims they were also ripped off by “the Rasberries, the Beach Boys, the Beatles.”

Listen to both songs after the jump and let us know if you think Lavigne is simply being bullied or should consider changing her name to Vanilla Avril. Read More »

Music Videos for the Elliptical

girl exercisingLast summer, thanks to my posh hometown gym, I got into the habit of watching television while working out on the elliptical. MTV reality shows, mostly. But then I returned to school and found that music alone just wasn’t doing it for me anymore. Without a visual distraction, my daily cardio was just too boring. And when I read magazines I slowed way down. So I spent the fall semester gaining weight and asked my parents to upgrade me to a video iPod for Christmas. That video iPod revolutionized my gym experience. (And I’m pleased to report that by extension, it also revolutionized my butt and thighs.)

Now that I’m home again, I can once again enjoy the luxury that is a personal television on each piece of cardio equipment. But now I’ve discovered that I don’t push myself as hard when I’m watching My Super Sweet 16 as when I’m rocking out to my music videos.

If you have a video iPod, I wholeheartedly recommend the following music videos, all of which are available on iTunes, to energize you on the elliptical or stationary bike. (After a terrifying experience that nearly spelled the end for my iPod, I cannot recommend watching videos on the treadmill unless your headphones have an exceptionally long cord.)

“Fergalicious” – Fergie
I like to start with this video because of the line, “I be up in the gym just working on my fitness.”

“Don’t Cha” (Busta Version) – The Pussycat Dolls

Not every video is good cardio material. First, I look for a quick, catchy beat.

“Promiscuous” – Nelly Furtado
Videos featuring the extremely toned bodies of female pop stars can be very motivating. Read More »
