Taylor Swift on Saturday Night Live

Taylor Swift did a decent job tonight, she had terrific delivery--especially with The View segment as Kate (from Kate plus 8). It is clear she was nervous, that she kept staring blankly when she stared forward. Some of her reactions were much like with a little kid from Nickelodeon, that it was timed and sometimes didn't match and she would take a deep breath before her line. Also, you can clearly seen to be staring at cue cards. Yes, I am harsh, and like a typical internet blogger, but I love her and I think she should have just relaxed. I think it was a bit too soon to have her do SNL, that she should have had more acting practice. It was a funny episode, with their funniest regular characters back (Peneolpe, Macintosh). They certainly were creative when characters for Taylor to play... Kate and Skeet Delvin--a white female counterpart to Macintosh (Kennan).

Eerie but true: Jayden on 30 Rock

Nick Fondulis played Jayden on 30 Rock's episode last night called "Auction Day." My family member that just gave birth on Tuesday, she named her boy Jaiden. The funny part was that she was going to spell it 'Jayden.' My family member's surname is Tyler was going to name the baby so but decided to take the boy's father's last name instead. The eeiry part is that the character's full name is Jayden Michael Tyler. Good she didn't name him Jayden Tyler, the character is crazy. do you know how close the chil came to be being called Jayden Tyler? The child's name end up being Jaiden C. Debose. What could have been right?

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

The Chippettes debut in the new movie coming in December... Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. I saw first their new look in the trailer on the Aliens in the Attic DVD. The only other show or film they appear in was the 80's Animated Series and Animated Movie. So, let's compare the outfits from how they were in the 80's. I like their new outfits. Of course, their colors are pink, purple, and sea-green, compared to the boy Chipmunks' red, blue and green. Britney has a tie, small pink jacket, and pink skirt; compared to her top, skirt, large bow and leg warmers. Of course, she can't have leg warmers now since that was a 80's fashions. She now has a thin tie, which Eleonore had a tie. Ties were in fashion in the 80's, and they are now in style once again.

Eleonore's tie was thick back then. Jeannette now has a nice jean jacket, magenta shirt underneath, and purple skirt; compared to a large navy sweater, purple skirt and large socks that spill out of her shoes. Where all the Chippettes had shoes before, they have none now like the boy Chipmunks in the movies. Eleanore has a sensible dress and sweater over it; before she had a private school outfit. They have the same hairstyles. When they were in the cartoon, they had human-like skin and little fur, while now they look more like the Chipmunks and lighter color fur. Anna Faris voices Britney, Christina Applegate voices Jeannette, and Amy Poehler voices Eleanor. Amy Poehler is way funny and wild, I don't think Eleanor (she is sweet and motherly) is the right character for.

Project Runway Final Three for Season Six

I knew Gordana and Christopher were going to be voted out. I knew that Althea, Irina, and Carol Hannah were going to win. The second time they had a trio of women! Yay! Great. Gordana and Christopher got pretty far, Gordana for someone with no personal fashion vision and Christopher that doesn't know how what fabrics to use, doesn't know how to design for a woman's body and doesn't have an editorial eye, he is too much into his own head. And Gordana is a great seamstress but has nothing new to show, very safe. Irina is also bitter and that spills into her fashion, making it bland and 'seen that-done that.' Irina gets lucky, she has a sophisticated taste but many times she doesn't know what it will be until the end. Carol Hannah has great taste, style and execution, she has few weaknesses, just does mostly dresses but she knows how to design for a woman's body. I am rooting for Carol Hannah, she reminds me of Leann of last season. Althea has a great vision, very innovative and tailored and really thinks things through. But sometimes she over-designs and gets a bit overzealous.

White Washing Planet 51

The new animated film Planet 51, the male lead is voiced by Dwayne Johnson and Dwayne being of a colorful ethnic background, why is his character white, blue eyes and blonde? He is of half Samoan, half African-Canadian descent and isn't that interesting?--why not use that? Having him be Caucasian is plain and boring, that is almost every other children film with human characters.

A mom agrees with me:

Comcast Commercials with ditzy women

There are these two annoying commercials that keep airing again and again and driving me crazy. I can't find the video, but one is about a woman named Jen who always is surfing the internet and finding out 'information'--just useless trivia. For example, "Did you hear about the man that is turning into a tree?" "This woman fell in love with the Eiffel tower and married it!" And another woman who just can't stop talking. She then goes, "Where was I going with that?" And the female narrator says, "It doesn't matter where is going with that..." If it doesn't matter, then why even mention it? I am afraid these two Comcast commercials make sound like these women are ditzy and all their costumers want is to talk and talk and are dumb. They are belittling their costumers. And these commercials are annoying, not as irritating as others, but still. ANd I am tired of hearing, "And in Amebia (sp), I heard..."
