There's an actual video for the song Cherry Bomb that Dakota Fanning sings for the movie The Runaways. It's weird to think that she's the same girl who is a high school cheerleader and was named junior class princess at her last homecoming. WEIRD.

I just saw a trailer for The Runaways, the movie with Kristin Stewart and Dakota Fanning about (obviously) The Runaways. Looks like it'll be good! And by the way, Kristin and Dakota do some actual singing for it. And they don't suck!

Billy Corgan is talking about his relationship with Jessica Simpson. Here's some of what he had to say (as a part of a Rolling Stone interview):

On "loving" Jessica Simpson:
"If I go, 'Oh, we?re just friends,' then it's like, 'Did they go out, did he dump her or she dump him, what happened?' It has nothing to do with any of that. Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that. My goal in life is to love whoever I think is worth loving, and I think if people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do. It?s really simple."

I'm thrilled that it's Friday. So thrilled that I decided to start using capitol letters in my blog posts! (I'm such a grown-up now.)

I was looking through Twitter responses to the Tiger Woods apology, and this was my favorite, by far.

That's what I'm talking about.

Sad news ... the inventor of the Easy Bake Oven passed away. The man created a machine that bakes with a light bulb. Genius. RIP, sir.

With all of the hoopla over Kevin Smith and "Chubby Gate", it's worth noting that he's coming to town on March 5th. He'll be at the House of Blues. I can't go that night, but Kev, if you read this, call me and I'll tell you the location of the super-secret party I'm attending. *wink wink* Seriously though, the man is a riot. Go check him out if you can.

Paramore has a new song out. I saw someone online describe it as a "Warped Tour circa 1999" song. I don't know if that applies, but whatever, you check it out and decide for yourself. Hayley and the gang can do no wrong in my opinion.

Have a fabulous weekend!

in honor of valentine's day, here are some of the sexiest songs ever ... according to billboard.com. (what? no NIN?)

1. Physical - Olivia Newton John

2. Tonight's the Night - Rod Stewart

3. I'll Make Love To You - Boyz II Men

4. Too Close - Next

5. Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye

6. Hot Stuff - Donna Summer

7. Do That To Me One More Time - Captain & Tenille

8. Like a Virgin - Madonna

9. Kiss You All Over - Exile

10. Do You Think I'm Sexy - Rod Stewart

i suspect that the people at billboard contacted my mom to get her input on the list. rod stewart ... in the top 10 ... twice! my favorite might be color me badd's "i wanna sex you up". it came in at #14. honestly though, if someone gave me a mix cd with these songs, they'd be handed a pillow, blanket, and invitation to sleep on the sofa. ALONE.

i came across a website called 'clients from hell'. oh, yes. it's an amazing collection of horror stories from designers. a few of my personal favorites include:

"Can you take this photo of me and my baby and rotate the baby so you can see more of his face?"

and

"Here is some hair I cut off of my poodle. Make my fabric match my poodle."

next time you complain about your boss or co-workers, be glad you aren't holding a lock of poodle hair.

someone sent me this link earlier. it's a blog about how someone's iphone was stolen, and how he got it back. dude is a genius.

btw, the shiba inu puppy cam is back! it's seriously a camera set on a litter of puppies. and it's sure to turn any frown upside down.

this is a video of hayley helping out on "say it ain't so". it's pure awesome.

have a fabulous weekend!

as promised, here's a short video. enjoy!

so happy that it's friday. SO. HAPPY.

i posted this link on my twitter earlier, but in care you aren't following me (tsk, tsk!), here's the info again. i donated today to an organization that helps animal victims in disaster areas. if mom and dad lose their house, chances are, fluffy is out a home, too. and fluffy is often forgotten about. and whereas people can ask for help, fluffy can't. if you've got the money to spare and the inclination, you can donate to the world society for the protection of animals. you can check them out first at charity navigator if you'd like. charity navigator also has a list of reputable organizations that you can donate to, and some tips on how to safely donate without being taken advantage of.

and on to happier things ... or maybe "weirder" would be correct.

here's a pic of JESSICA SIMPSON in the studio with BILLY CORGAN. i could not make this stuff up.

happy weekend! ;) here's pearl jam to get it going ...

FIVE TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION OF MEETING SOMEONE NEW:

#1.) ADJUST YOUR ATTITUDE. If you really want to meet someone new this year, you've got to be willing to give dating a chance. You need to have a positive attitude before you leave the house or start looking at online profiles.

#2.) BREAK OLD PATTERNS. Dating someone when you know it's not going anywhere will keep you from meeting someone you're truly compatible with. --So if you're in the habit of staying with someone just for the sake of being with someone, it's time to break out of that routine.

#3.) PACE YOURSELF. Take your time getting to know someone new. If you're looking for a relationship, you've got to put in the leg-work upfront. And even if you just want a fling, try to slow down and enjoy the excitement of finding someone new.

#4.) LIVE YOUR LIFE. Don't stop doing all the things you love, just to focus on dating. --If you have a hobby you love, immerse yourself in it. If you like to travel, take a vacation to a place you've always wanted to go. If you're you interested in cooking, sign up for a cooking class. --Doing activities you like will make your life better . . . AND it'll increase your chances of meeting someone who enjoys the same things.

#5.) TRUST YOUR GUT. If you're unsure about what to do in a particular situation, trust your gut feeling. --Don't date someone just so you can say you're dating someone. That's a crutch. Keep getting out there and working toward meeting someone great. (Match.com)
