Adam Lambert – “Time For Miracles”

Here is American Idol runner up Adam Lambert’s very first music video!  Awesome. 

The music video is for his very first radio single, “Time For Miracles.”  The song also appears in the Columbia Pictures’ action film 2012.

Okay.  I don’t LOVE that he talks about getting stoned. 

But this is a cool song, an awesome video, and a VERY pretty boy.

Happy 40th Gwen Stefani

I love Gwen Stefani. 

I met her once backstage at a concert.  I really wanted my No Doubt Rolling Stone cover signed, but we were only allowed to take some quick photos of the group.  I stuck around until the end and kinda pushed my way to where Gwen was standing.  I remember she was really tall, had on tons of make-up, and was, of course, gorgeous. She graciously signed my magazine while her bodyguards cursed me out.  (That’s what they get paid to do – I totally get it.)

There was a time when I thought Gwen and I led parallel lives.  She’s married to a rock star.  I’m married to a radio star.  She had a son.  Then, I had a son. (She was the reason I bought this baby sling.  She rocked it, so I wanted it.) She’s a blonde.  I’m a blonde.  Well, at least I can dream that I will look half as amazing as she does when I turn 40.  Happy Birthday Gwen!

Loving Adam Lambert

Even while getting “attacked” by the paparazzi, Adam Lambert is still a nice guy and a class act.  (But he should probably not be going out alone!) There were some recent reports that Adam had turned into a DIVA, but that is obviously not true.  He is also supposed to “tell all” in an upcoming Rolling Stone article.  Honestly, I just don’t care.  I just want to buy his album.

 
 

And this is just TOO CUTE for words.  Everyone is falling in love with Adam – even babies

Toxic

I met Britney Spears in the summer of ’99.  It was at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach.  She was doing a concert that evening and a bunch of media were invited to a special ”meet and greet” in the afternoon.  This was when “(Hit Me) Baby One More Time” was a huge radio hit and she did that provocative cover on Rolling Stone magazine.  She was also on Entertainment Weekly with N’Sync.  They were the two biggest musical acts of the year.  We had also just found out she was dating Justin Timberlake. 

It was exciting to meet a pop star.  Britney was completely unassuming, shy and cute.  She said hello and signed my copy of EW.  We took a photo together and she moved on.  I thought she was adorable and was certain she would be around for a long time. 

Well, I was right!  She released another album.  She had more number one songs.  She won awards.   She did those cute Pepsi ads.  She went on a huge worldwide tour.  She released another album.  She said she was a virgin.  Justin “implied” she wasn’t.  They broke up.  She starred in a movie.  She performed on MTV with a huge python.  It was an iconic moment.  Then, things got…weird.

She kissed Madonna.  She married a childhood friend in Vegas.  It was annulled after 55 hours.  She cancelled her tour.  She dated and married a backup dancer.  Then she got pregnant and had her first baby, Sean Preston. Then she got pregnant again and had her second baby, Jayden.  Then, she filed for divorce. She checked in and out of rehab.  She shaved her head in the window front of an LA salon.  She was hospitalized and held under psychiatric evaluation.  She lost custody of her kids. She went to the VMA’s and did a terrible performance.  She had a shady manager and she was dating a member of the paparazzi.  She would go out late at night to get cigarettes and walk barefoot to the gas station bathroom.   I remember telling my husband that I would not be surprised to wake up one morning, turn on the computer, and see her obituary.  It looked bad.

But she turned it around!  Her dad seemed to save her.  She got the “bad” people out of her life.  She went back to the recording studio and made music again.  She had a number one single.  She went on tour.  She went on How I Met Your Mother.  She got custody of her kids back.  Now she seems…better.

I hope she is.  She’s a mom now and her kids need her.  I’m sure they make her happy.  Judging by this super cute video, they sure made me smile today.  Good Luck Britney.  Remember what’s important: these little guys.

Random Thoughts

It’s Friday!  Yahoo!  But we are all still sick.  Boo.  The kiddies have not stopped coughing and their poor noses are red and runny.  They spent the entire day inside the house playing with trains, cars, and trucks.  Yes, both of them.  Annabel is quickly turning into an adorable little tomboy thanks to her older brother.  We also read tons of books, played stickers and, of course, ran around in circles.  I’m hoping we can all get of the house tomorrow even if it’s just to run a few errands and breathe some fresh air.

This will be a quick entry because I desperately need to get under the covers with my peach “sick” tea (it has rum in it…thank goodness) and read my magazines.  But before I do, just some random Friday thoughts:

• Here is yet another reason why I dislike Kara DioGuardi.  (Because he wants YOU to clear it all up Kara. Thanks.)
• I heart Taylor Swift.  Thank you for being a great role model for teens.  She performed LIVE on The Today Show this morning and there is a one hour Dateline NBC special about her on Sunday.
• Something is clearly wrong with Tori Spelling’s mother.  Stay strong Tori.  I heart you too!
• Melissa Joan Hart is totally motivating me. I’ve been wanting to shed these extra baby lbs. FOREVER.   My goal is to be on the cover of PEOPLE magazine.  Ha. (IF ONLY that could happen.  That would be truly motivating.)
• Can you imagine your child winning the National Spelling Bee?  I can’t decide if it’s awesome or a little dysfunctional.

Finally, I hate that we can’t give our kids any type of cough or cold medicine.  My husband and I created an equal parts lemon and honey drink that we spoon to them throughout the day but it doesn’t seem to be working.  Is there anything worse than listening to two little ones cough and hack and you can’t really do anything about it?  Ugh.  I’m going to chug some of my tea.  Happy Friday.
