If you could be granted a talent you don't have, what would it be?  Mine would have to be in music. One of the reasons I enjoy Radio. I can't perform the tunes, but get to enjoy them!  I was listening to

The 2012 Curse of Celeb Couples..

What's up w/ 2012 and Celeb couples breaking apart? Is there some sort of 'Celeb Couples Curse' going around in Hollywood, breaking up the cute couples you thought would be together 4EVER?  Newest is Gwen and Gavin! They looked so happy whenever they talk about each other, but the word it Gavin's past keeps coming up, and Gwen finding out from others rather than him,  has her second guessing their relationship. Courtney Love even popped up, which doesn't help the cause!
Click here for more!


BUT WAIT! I ACTUALLY HAVE A NEW COUPLE ALERT HOOK UP! THERE IS LOVE BREWING IN THE AIR!!



Two stars from one of my new favorite shows 'Revenge' are hooked up!! Emily Van Camp and Josh Bowman. They are coupled on the show, and the word it moved into real life!  They're cute together.  Maybe their safe from the 2012 Couple Curse since it's new!

ACL Live performace to check out this weekend..
Florence and the Machine taped an ACL Live session in June of 2011. Tomorrow/Sat (1/28) it premiers on PBS at 10pm! F&TM is a new FAV on MIX!

Florence has come a long way from bathrooms to ACL LIve!  Don't forget to set your DVR's if you aren't around!

MATT ROCKED AGAIN!!!


ATX's Matthew Valentine is THE MAN again this week! He won his 2nd Spotlight Challenge in  'Face Off 2'. A reality show with special effects makeup artists competing for $100,000 and lots of other goodies. This week's challenge 'Rock the Body'. Amazing work that Matt did for an album cover!  Check out the 411 on last night's episdoe!  Make sure you tune in next Wednesday at 9pm on the Syfy channel. The Challenge is  'Night Terrors'.  I'm Thinking  Matt has GOT THIS!!
(creator of Mr. Creep at House of Torment)


Matt was teamed up with Brea. They got 6 ours to create this master piece! The models were naked. It's all body paint! Pretty AMAZING!  They were the last team to get a photo, and ended up w/ the hardest one (backdrop of multi colored kicks). The photo had to have one model as the up front main one and the other somehow camo'd in the photo, but still interacting w/the main one.  Matt did a Fantastic job of hiding the girl within the sneakers and using her butt for the basketball!  This what got him a 2nd challenge win!!!  Album cover for  Asher Roth!

Hot Celeb Do..


This reminds me of the 'Banana Clip' look. Anyone remember that! I had my Big Hair standing high in a Big Pony Tail with one! I knew some girls who would use little ones to make their hair even bigger!  Gotta Love the '80s! Anyway. The newest 'Flashback with a new twist Do' 'Ponytail Do'...  Lots of celebs are sporting the 'Waterfall Ponytail'...


Ponytails seem to be making a big comeback outside of a casual day or workout at the gym.  Meryl Streep had one at the Golden Globes, which surprise me. I believe she whipped out the 'banana clip' too! Scary flashbacks are coming to me!


-Wonder what's going to pop out/up at the Oscars???

Do you want to see this in Breaking Dawn Part 2?

The Twilight Saga is complete on the big screen in November with Breaking Dawn Part2!  I thought  BD Part1 was pretty much right on with the book.  BD Pt2 is said to have a bit of extra to it.  How would you like to see Edward do a duet with his daughter at the piano. ( not in the book) ?  Guess there could be several extras that will make the movie have a sStellar unexpected finish.   HHHHMMM... 

   Twilight composer Carter Burwell revealed that he had to compose a song for the film specifically to be performed by Robert Pattinson and Mackenzie Foy, the young actress that plays Edward Cullen's daughter, Renesmee.

As Carter explains:

"In the movie I’m working on right now, which is “Breaking Dawn: Part II,” they needed Rob Pattinson and the actress who plays his daughter to play piano onscreen. I had to write this duet before they shot the film so they could actually learn the parts. Rob is a musician, so he prides himself on working out the fingering for these correctly."

Van Halen  with David Lee Roth (minus Michael Anthony, but Eddie's son Wolfgang on Bas) going on tour! I ran into a Houston Date June 24th that said Van Halen w/ Kool & the Gang? (San Antonio Date 6/22 AT&T center)

Why the surprsie?

There's a lot of buzz about Steven Tyler's national anthem before the Patriots/Ravens game. I'm not sure why there is such an 'OMG' reaction.  It sounded just like Steven doing the anthem.
 



In fact, I'm only disappointed he didn't put more 'Steven Sounds' in there. If you're going to Rock it out, own it and go for it! 
The winner of the 'Made My Ears Hurt' award still goes too.... 
 




Lyrics for those who have brainfarts when singing it, which is ALOT of peeps! 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChU8aKkzRlM   BTW when the song during events end with '...home of the brave.'  There is actually way more song left that isn't sung. I didn't know these lyrics did you?

The new Bachelorette will be....

Emily Maynard!  The Emily that ATX's Brad dumped, or parted ways with, or got dumped by, or just aren't together anymore depending on what story/version you hear!   Word is Emily is looking for a 'MAN' not a 'LITTLE Boy'.  HHMM... Think that's directed to someone we know of!  I think she's a Great choice! What do you think !


Filming will be in Charlotte, N.C so Emily doesn't have to be away to long from her daughter Rikki.  Think they should bring Bentley Williams back. He was on the Ashley/Bachelorette, but was hoping it was for Emily and disappointed when it was Ashley. He played Ashley too! (Short Version).. Think Emily deserves to hook up with a Bentley?

Adele took to her blog about the word going around that her BF Simon is married w/ a kid.

This is the first and last time I will comment on the details of my relationship with Simon," she wrote in a post on her official blog yesterday.

It's not your computer..

You might have noticed Wikipedia's Blacked out Site.... or Google's black bar through it...

Wikipedia is protesting against SOPA and PIPA by blacking out the English Wikipedia for 24 hours, beginning at midnight January 18, Eastern Time. Readers who come to English Wikipedia during the blackout will not be able to read the encyclopedia. Instead, you will see messages intended to raise awareness about SOPA and PIPA, encouraging you to share your views with your representatives, and with each other on social media.
What are SOPA and PIPA?
SOPA and PIPA represent two bills in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate respectively. SOPA is short for the "Stop Online Piracy Act," and PIPA is an acronym for the "Protect IP Act." ("IP" stands for "intellectual property.") In short, these bills are efforts to stop copyright infringement committed by foreign web sites, but, in our opinion, they do so in a way that actually infringes free expression while harming the Internet. Detailed information about these bills can be found in the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act articles on Wikipedia, which are available during the blackout. GovTrack lets you follow both bills through the legislative process: SOPA on this page, and PIPA on this one. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the public interest in the digital realm, has summarized why these bills are simply unacceptable in a world that values an open, secure, and free Internet.

Celeb dating tips...
Taylor Swift is the covergirl/story for February Issue of Vogue! She chats new album, being single, and her new dating rules...


Rule #1: Taylor Is More Than a Google Trend. "If someone doesn't seem to want to get to know me as a person but instead seems to have kind of bought into the whole idea of me and he approves of my Wikipedia page? And falls in love based on zero hours spent with me? That's maybe something to be aware of. That will fade fast. You can't be in love with a Google search."

Rule #2: Don’t be Threatened by Taylor. "If you need to put me down a lot in order to level the playing field or something? If you are threatened by some part of what I do and want to cut me down to size in order to make it even? That won't work either," she says.

Rule #3: Get Over Taylor’s Bodyguards. "If a dude is threatened by the fact that I need security, if they make me feel like I am some sort of princessy diva--that's a bad sign. I don't have security to make myself look cool, or like I have an entourage. I have security because there's a file of stalkers who want to take me home and chain me to a pipe in their basement."

Grey's Anatomy Heads up!!
Could you see Meredith engaged to Alex? Well, this and many more strange senario's will happen on the Feb. 2nd episode of Grey's Anatomy. "Alternate Universe'. What would happen if Meredith's mom didn't have Alheimzers?  Kate Walsh will be coming back for this episode.  It's going to be very strange, yet fascinating at the same time if you are a  Grey's Fan.  Since Ellen and Patrick's contracts are up at the end of this season 8, never know what could happen.  The rumbles have been that Ellen and Patrick will leave.  But recently Ellen said she would stay if the fans wanted it!  Patrick said, he's stay if he could also do some movies and race cars.  Would you like to see Season 9 of Grey's Anatomy? 

I'M A BIG YES IF ELLEN AND PATRICK AT STILL IN THE MIX! It would be a bit hard to  have a show named after a character who isn't there anymore. The writers are good, but not sure that good!??

Click the picture to find out who's sporting these frames  and more about the "Alternate (G.As) Universe" that is coming Feb 2nd!

There was a twitition going around to have Adam Lambert sing the National Anthem at the BIg Game Feb 5th. But.. I'm cool with the final decision who's singing it. KELLY CLARKSON!  She'll knock it out of the field for sure!  Although a duet  w/ Adam Lambert could be cool. HHHHMMM..

KC's a pro w/ the anthem.. She's worked it before. Here's a flash back (2006) !

Celebrity Crabs!!???
Not every celeb has bragging rights they have crabs named after them.  Scientists discovered anew species of  crabs, and since they have hair on their chests, they named if after David Hasselhoff. The new crab is 'THE HOFF'. Not every celeb would love saying they have Crabs, but The Hoff isn't just any celeb.

The Hoff got the word out about 'His Crabs' thru twitter. Check out his Tweet.  He's very proud of 'The Hoff Crabs'.

If you could have anything named after you, what would it be. 

 A shoe would be cool.  The HR... The Heather.. or perhaps my weird childhood nickname 'fertbottom'.  New Spring line of shoes includes the 'Fertbottom' that comes in Big Feet sizes (since I sport a size 11).

Couples making $$$
Forbes Mag released a list of  HOllywood's Top earning 'On Screen Couples' ..

1.)
 Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, the actors who play Ron and Hermione, top the list . Their four Harry Potter movies in the past five years have earned a total of $4.2 billion.

2.) Bella & Edward/ Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson  (money making off screen couple too) Twilight Saga- so far Twilight movies has raked in $2.5 billion.

3.) Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox
rank third  $1.5 billion. The pair starred in the first two Transformers movies. The third installment, Dark of the Moon, earned a whopping $1.1 billion this past summer but it doesn’t count toward LaBeouf and Fox’s total because she was replaced in the film by model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley as the love interest for LaBeouf’s Sam Witwicky. That landed LaBeouf and Huntington-Whitely in fifth place .  Fourth Transformers getting rumbles..but maybe no LaBeouf.. wait and see
5.) LaBeouf & Huntington-Whiteley
 
4.) Ranking fourth are
Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow-Tony Stark and his assistant/girlfriend Pepper Potts in two Iron Man films  $1.2 billion. They’ll appear together again in the superhero-heavy film The Avengers, which hits theaters this coming May.
Yes.. My man Johnny made it in the Top 10 of On screen couple money makers..

#6-  Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz, who starred in last summer’s Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The film was the highest-grossing of the series, bringing in $1 billion.

Watch out for MATT
A co- worker bud, Patrick, sent me the heads up about one of ATX's own on Season 2 of 'Face Off' on the Syfi channel. It debuts Wednesday the 11th at 9pm central time! 14 Special FX artists face off. I caught a bit of season one. It's a cool show with lots of talent.  It's awesome that season 2 has ATX ties with Matt Valentine.  You might recognize some of Matt's work in the past at House of Torment. He was the artistic director and created/played 'Mr. Creep'. 




Here's a bit about Matt:
 
Matt’s work has gained accolades from MSN, Wall St. Journal, Travel Channel, Haunt World Magazine, America Haunts and the Austin Chronicle. He’s the creator and actor behind Austin’s very own horro icon Mr. Creep and the creative mind behind America’s #5 ranked haunted attraction, The House of Torment in ATXC. He’s donated his talents to Richard Garriot’s non-profit haunted house ‘Scare for a Cure’, where all profits were donated to cancer research. Matt has a vast history of video commercial production, directing, graphic design, sculpting, painting, costume fabrication, set design, acting, voice over and marketing. His artwork has appeared everywhere from art shows, websites, billboards to TV. His creativity and artisti expertise were showcased at the 2009 Transworld National Haunters Convention as a keynote speaker on ‘Over The Tope Art Direction’. His commercials have appeared in theaters and local television. His makeup effects and acting have appeared in 2 films from LA director Sam Jorgensen. Matt’s work and acting have been featured on The Travel Channel’s America’s scariest attractions 2 and America Haunts. He was also featured in an article of Haunt World Magazine as well as appearing on the cover. Matt was also contracted by the SXSW festival to work on their film bumpers, which appeared in the festival to the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez.
 
Check out  'Face Off' season 2 this coming  Wednesday on the Syfi Channel and show support for MATT!

Here's a tease about the new season:

Would you do this for a new outfit?
I'm surprised something like this doesnt take place in ATX, with the 'Keep ATX Weird' tradition. A store in Madrid, Spain opens it's doors the beginnng of January with a free outfit for the 1st 100 peeps in the door if they do this.
Check out what they do here!    I'd be game for that. How about you?
