The "Real" Housewives of Beverly Hills

2/19/2016

Reality TV is always an obsession. I have indulged in The Simple Life and RuPaul’s Drag Race and the belated America’s Next Top Model.
I’ve never been one for the Real Housewives franchise and no I don’t know where Potamac is.

Nene Leakes is a cultural staple and of course I followed Theresa Giudice’s imprisonment. I’m sure her house arrest is amazing without the alcohol and who can forget when she flipped over a table? Bethenny Frankel is the only other one who comes to mind. She’s a skinny girl who has skinny girl shit.

Recently I’ve become obsessed with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. One of the many franchises spinning from the Real Housewives of Orange County. One of my favorite club singers, Erika Jayne has joined the cast. You can read my article on her here.

I thought I would try out the show. I didn’t realize how in love was I going to be with it and not just because of Erika. Her marital name being Erika Girardi. She’s married to a fabulously wealthy lawyer thirty years her senior and she thinks hookers are fabulous.

Erika Jayne is by far the best housewife on the show, but I’ve begun having a loving affection for many of the others..

Matriarch, Lisa Vanderpump, with her posh accent and her uncut mouth is the best. She lives by the color pink and she loves dogs, but isn’t that crazy about bitches. She has ponies at her house and swans in the water feature. She says it like she means it and she might be aggressive, but who isn’t in Beverly Hills?

I have a soft spot for Yolanda Foster. She’s friends with Erika Jayne and might soon be divorced from her mega producer husband David Foster, known for his work with Whitney Houston, Natalie Cole, Madonna, and Jennifer Lopez to name a few. Her plotline revolves around her illness. One many of the housewives question in authenticity.

I like Yolanda, but I watch the housewives for a glamorous petty escape from my life, not for heart rending medical drama. I wish her the best. She seems very nice and I do enjoy her supermodel daughter stopping by.

And, I really like Eileen Davidson. She’s on Days of Our Lives. Her marital life seems shaky and her plotline is contrived, but I just like her. She just seems so nice and after she stood up for Erika, there’s no one I like better.

Lisa Rinna. She has lips reminiscent of the ones Goldie Hawn's character got in The First Wives Club. She has her own clothing line on QVC. She starts shit. Gets her ass waxed on TV and doesn’t seem to care for Erika that much. She’s a skinny loud mouth archetype perfect for reality TV.

Kyle Richards entire drama involves her sister Kim. She’s fine. She’s rather inconsequential to show and she’s the reason that Erika got subjected to Bethenny Frankel being a flat out bitch to her about her music career. I’m fine with her, but I don’t watch the show for her plot. I’m here to see Erika get zipped into her skintight leotard and hang with her gays.

The latest housewife Kathryn Edwards has yet to make an impact on me. There’s still time, but I need more than just her backstory on the OJ trial.

For me The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has everything you need. It’s all petty, guilty drama. There’s no physical altercations and they all drive Mercedes Benz. What more do you need on a Tuesday night?

(I Get So) Sentimental

2/5/2016

0 Comments

You don't realize quite how sad your life is until someone asks you what you're doing. It was a Thursday night and someone asked me what I was up to. I told them I had my three romantic comedies lined up and a bowl of popcorn to eat my feelings with. I'd spent the better part of the day listening to Taylor Swift, so it was only appropriate.

I was feeling sentimental and it wasn't just because I was listening to the Donna Summer song of the same name. There's something so reassuring about romantic comedies. They have a tried and true formula and you know that no matter what happens at the end, no matter how much they fuck up, they will be there for each other.

These are the three movies I picked that day. I grew up on rom com's and I'm sure there are better ones, but these movies are perfect for February

Buy "Sentimental"

Monster-In-Law
2005
Jennifer Lopez knows how to do a romantic comedy. This list would be incomplete without one of her films on it. This movie is iconic. Jane Fonda returns to the silver screen. Wanda Sykes is there. We got some cute eye candy with Michael Vartan. It's devilishly funny.

Jennifer plays Charlie who gets engaged to Kevin (Michael Vartan). His mother (Jane Fonda) tries to break them apart. She believes Charlie is not good enough for her son. There's love, a bath tub scene. Cake. Wanda Sykes does a great job playing the sidekick to the monster in law. Spoiler, that everyone ends up happy. It's another success in the J. Lo canon that includes The Wedding Planner and Maid in Manhattan.

27 Dresses
2008
The Katherine Heigl led 27 Dresses plays with the tropes of a romantic comedy. Katherine Heigl plays Jane the eternal bridesmaid and never the bride. She is hopelessly in love with her boss who near the beginning of the movie starts dating her sister (!).

But, wait. There's more. Reporter Kevin Doyle (James Marsden) wants to write a story on her. He complements her eccentricities as she does his. They love, they fight, they cry. They sing karaoke to “Benny and the Jetts”. This movie has it all. It honestly breaks my soul how much I have in common with Katherine Heigl.

Music and Lyrics
2007
Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant are no strangers to the field of romantic comedies. Take Drew's 50 First Dates or Ever After and Hugh Grant's Did You Hear About the Morgan's? or Bridget Jone's Diary as recommendations. The plot of this film pairs aging pop artist Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) with plant lady Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore) to write a hit song for pop superstar Cora Corman (Haley Bennett) entitled “Way Back Into Love”.

This movie has a great backing cast. Brad Garrett takes a turn as Alex Fletcher's manager and Kristen Johnston makes a stab as Sophie's fun loving sister. This is the most straight forward feel good movie of the three. It has a great soundtrack featuring iconic “Budha's Delight” and heart rending “Way Back Into Love” as well as a few stabs of eighties pop pastiche with “Pop! Goes My Heart”. One of my all time favorites.

Scream MTV

8/7/2015

Teen Wolf is back and more excitedly MTV has debuted a new television show, Scream. MTV has long ago given up it's namesake of promoting music and has resorted to a roster of reality TV and questionable hour long diversions.

The show is based off the 1996 film of the same name. That movie starred Courtney Cox, David Arquette, and Drew Barrymore. And, is filed on a long list of movies that I will eventually get around to seeing in my life time. MTV is capitalizing on the franchise's history to build an audience for their new show.

It appears to be working. The show has already been renewed for a second season, although it remains unclear if it will be a continuation of this plot line of if it will center around a new cast much like American Horror Story.

Scream joins a long list of horror shows joining the roster. The aforementioned American Horror Story, Bates Motel, Masters of Horror, and even the Hitchockesque Twilight Zone. Another newcomer for the year is a similairly titled Ryan Murphy (the man also behind American Horror Story and Glee ) production titled Scream Queens that Nick Jonas and Arianna Grande are set to appear in.

Scream does not boast such an A-List cast. It doesn't even boast the most attractive cast on MTV. The most attractive cast member was slashed in the series premiere. John Karna's character Noah Foster has a dork liked appeal. He's obsessed with serial killers and is the most obvious suspect in the string of murders.

Noah Foster: The Dork

Mr. Branson: The Teacher

Most of these actors don't have wikipedia pages and there acting is two dimensional. The characters are wooden and predictable. The popular jocks and girls and the outsiders. The people who don't fit in. The boy who just moved to town. The hot teacher. Sex obsessed students. Wild parties.

Emma Duvall: The Pretty Well Intentioned Popular Girl

Audrey Jensen: The Lesbian

Brooke Maddox: The Slut

Kieran Wilcox: The Mysterious New Kid Who Just Moved To Town

Will Belmont: The Jock

Clark Hudson: The Sherriff

It works. I'm obsessed with this show. I anticipate every Tuesday. This show is a self aware drama. The students are taking an American Gothic literature class and one of them explains that a slasher show “just wouldn't work”. In fact MTV has marketed it on this point. And, in truth one person was hanged. Not slashed

This show is building itself on the thin guidelines of a slasher. It's not an exact carbon copy. I watch it with the lights off and a bowl of popcorn. It scare me just enough that I can still go to sleep. It's trashy, basic white girl fun, and I stand for it.

Scream is one of my guilty pleasures of the summer. I would not say it's quality television, but it's so entertaining. It also has a little bit of that How To Get Away With Murder intrigue. You don't know who the killer be. So, you have 10 episodes to figure it out and more people get slashed as you go along. So, the suspect pool is much smaller.

I saw one person say it was going to be the teacher. They were like its “so obvious” and I was just like is it? Is it really? I have no guess at this moment. I'm just enjoying the ride.

We also don't have enough main characters to kill one person every week. There was one episode where we only killed one person and I'm just wondering how this is supposed to work. And, I'm supposed to be invested in these people. Just to have them axed. I don't know how much I'm about that life. But, I'll be watching.

Cherie Cheezcake has started watching this show along with Black. It is the five star experience across the boards. I know we're already half way through the season, but you can catch up on MTV.

Watch the first episode here.

High Off My Love

6/26/2015

I said I wouldn't do it. I said to myself. I'm not going to blog about Paris Hilton's new song. And, to be fair I've waited since May 15th, which was over a month ago at this point. I just couldn't resist talking about all the bondage and sexiness on display in “High Off My Love”. Paris Hilton is queen to me.

The very first article on this blog was a Media Monday and it was on Paris Hilton's then new song “Come Alive”. It was airy and breathy and stunning really. I say this was from an unbiased point of view. It's been almost a year, since it was released and I can look at it objectively now.

“High Off My Love” is the third single from Paris's yet untitled second studio album that was due for release back in December of 2013 when “Good Time” was thrown into the world. I loved that song in 2013 and most certainly would have blogged about it then. I loved “Come Alive” and I love “High Off My Love” now.

I'm honestly not sure what is holding Paris Hilton from dropping this album. We've been waiting, since 2013. Her last album was not some commercial juggernaut. There aren't any expectations. We can say she's waiting for one of these songs to break through like “Stars Are Blind” did, but Paris was popular back then for being scandalous. Unless she plans on snorting cocaine off of Lindsay Lohan's body and calling it gum she is not going to have a hit. She's polarizing and radio does not play with that.

This waiting thing is what is bothering me. We were supposed to have “High Off My Love” back in October of last year. Then, Paris kept putting it off. Shifting the release date around from February to the finally stated May 15th. It made me salty and I was being a bitch refusing to blog about it.

And, yet here I am.

The question truly is what don't I like about this song. It has Hilton's trademark vocals that match up with Britney Spears vocal prowess quite well. I like the trap beat.

I don't know what Birdman is doing on the song. His inclusion seems unnecessary. It's certainly not the kind of star power she needs to get a hit.

If Paris wanted to go for a spotlight song she should enlist someone like Lana Del Rey. That would have people talk. Lana Del Rey would never do it, but it would be a fascinating collaboration. Someone intersting and prevalent that's what Paris needs.

Now, in this video there are sexy shirtless men in masks. Something about masquerade balls is a turn on. There are Paris Hilton clones. There's seduction. There is some good “Justify My Love” vibes that any Madonna fan will appreciate. Especially with the recent popularity of 50 Shades of Grey. Bondage is in.

The real problem I have with this video is that it's not scandalous unless your living in 1982. All of Paris's videos have been high quality productions. That is not going to get people talking. Paris wants to be taken seriously and I respect that, but it is not the way she is going to obtain commercial domination.

What Paris Hilton needs is a Miley Cyrus “We Can't Stop” kind of video WITH a song that is ear catching like “Uptown Funk”. It needs to be a slam dunk on both counts or she won't crack the 100 most popular songs in the country. But, I digress. Watch the video. Put it on repeat. Download the single. No one else is going to.

I am so excited about this Friday Favorites. This was actually going to be the last Friday Favorites. That was on Jenny Lewis and her boyfriend Jonathan Rice, I love them. I don't regret making the Friday Favorites on them, but what I originally wanted to do was an article on this Swedish duo, First Aid Kit.

I had to order their album Stay Gold and it didn't come in early enough for me to blog about it for you. I bought so much music recently and all of it deserves a Friday Favorites. It's all amazing. They all had a song that said fuck in it, though. Am I surprised when rapper Rae Sremmurd and Snootie Wild drop a few fucks and shits. No, of course not, rap music is embedded with vulgar language. It's practically part of the culture. However, when sweet little Betty Who casually sings “those kids (…) fucking around” on her song “Runaways” I am mouth open shocked. There is not explicit label on your album. Children could be listening.

Buy Sremm Life

Buy Go Mode

Buy Take Me When You Go

Buy "Runaways"

I am even more shocked when I'm jamming out to First Aid Kit when their song “Master Pretender” elicited the line “shit gets fucked up” and they even said “god damn” at one point and I'm just like what is happening. I am not weak of heart or offended by any of this, but I just wasn't expecting any of this.

I found out about First Aid Kit last summer. I didn't listen to them. A lot of people were talking about them, I thought their album cover was beautiful, but I just didn't make the time out to invest. Then, their album Stay Gold made a lot of year end lists. Cosmo put them on their list. What I love about Cosmopolitan’s year end lists is that it is always girl powered. You don't see men on it. They don't say this is the best albums by women in 2014. They just say these are the best albums of 2014 and ignore the men. I love it. It's very girl power and awesome and it's one of the reasons I need to get me a subscription.

You probably haven't heard of First Aid Kit. They haven't had a radio hit. They are this indie folk band that's heavily inspired by the sixties and seventies culture. Those are my decades and I am absolutely obsessed with this album. I can't stress enough that they nailed it.

The first song I heard by them was “My Silver Lining” and it's dreamy music video. It's epic and these sisters are absolutely beautiful and I am jealous. I ordered this album after hearing this song, hands down, I didn't question it. After I ordered it I looked at the other music videos from this album. The two I watched were for “Stay Gold” and “Cedar Lane”. Honestly these would have put me off from buying the album.

Buy "My Silver Lining"

For some reason out of the context of this work as a whole, these songs are almost too heavy. So, if you like “My Silver Lining” just trust me and buy the album. Just go for it. You won't regret it. I'm honestly so upset I didn't buy this album last year, because it would have no doubt made my year end list of best albums. I want to make an exception this year and add it, but I'm not going to.

They are on tour right now, if you see them, tell me, I'm so jealous. They really aren't coming to the United States. Like, their coming, but their coming to the most basic as fuck places. Kentucky. Who goes to Kentucky? Not me. I do not live in Kentucky. I am not driving to Kentucky for some music festival. Any music festival in Kentucky is never going to match Coachella, and if you're not trying to match Coachella what are you doing.

As usual I am behind the trends, I just started watching Teen Wolf. Isn't this a surprise. I am almost always talking about music, but this week here I am telling you about Kingdom and Teen Wolf. This is an anomaly.

Now I am obsessed with Teen Wolf. Much like Kingdom, I am not watching it for the quality story line. I'm just slowly realizing how much of a whore I am, and I'm okay with that. At this point in time you probably understand the general idea of Teen Wolf. There are werewolves, werewolf hunters, high school.

I actually started watching it, because of Tumblr. I just said this looks like my show. Hot boys and hot girls. What could possibly go wrong.

The four male leads are just take me now kind of hot. Tyler Posey is the main one. And, he is definitely attractive, but really it's his eyes. He has dimples and cute brown eyes. I'm just like slay me. He's just really cute.

Just like Dylan O'Brien. He is not hot in the typical sense. He isn't hot, actually. He's just cute child, that I can't even handle. I am also confused by his character. Is he bisexual or is he gay. I just don't know. In the show his character is obsessed with this girl named Lydia, but he asked this one gay guy if he was attractive. It real messes me up. Dylan O'Brien should be everyone's baby. I love his character. He is the only reason I went to see The Maze Runner.

Then, there is Colton Haynes. He is straight sex. I try to like his character, because he is so attractive. I just watch the show and I want him to take my body. Then, he opens his mouth and I'm not here for it. I was actually really feeling him towards the end of season 1, then he messed it up. Now, I'm trying to like him, so I can shamelessly be obsessed with him. If you follow me on tumblr you probably now how obsessed I am. Like all my tumblr was pictures of him for a minute there.

At the top of the food chain is Tyler Hoechlin. Now he is attractive, but he's such a father figure to me. He's kind of like a DILF. Which, I might add is the creepiest thing. Who started this as a thing. No. We should not want to have sex with people who we think of as our fathers. Just stop.

The women are just as cute. Crystal Reed and Holland Roden are everything to me. Their friendship is weird. I don't get it, but I like it. One of them plays the whore and I'm here for it. I just love Holland Roden as Lydia. Lydia is one of my favorite characters, although I did not start out liking her. Crystal Reed's character is the main love interest, but the thing is I just don't care about her love with Tyler Posey.

Holland Roden

Crystal Reed

This show is kind of like Orange is the New Black in that sense. No one really cares about the problems of the two main characters. It's kind of like, shut up about it already. I want them to move on.

The plot itself is basic. It kind of scares me. That's so embarrassing, but I cover my eyes when I watch this show sometimes. I'm not good at handling that kind of stress.

There are also a lot of wholes in the plot. In the first season this one character kept dying. There is blood coming from his mouth. He has to be dead. Next episode. No explanation, no one acts like it's weird that he is among the living.

Or the other time he gets shot multiple times with a bow and arrow, then shot in the heart with a gun. He is dead. The two killers are not even bothering with him. Then, the big bad werewolf comes along, and this character miraculously is able to take him down. Like how did he go from dead to I'm in perfect condition to beat up my stronger opponent.

Writers. Think through your life choices. I'm going to have to start reading fan fiction to explain all the gaping holes. That being said. It is actually enjoyable. It has substance. Unlike Kingdom, I really do like watching it.

If you judge me for watching it, I feel you, I understand. But, to be honest I'm not really watching it for the plot. And, I'm okay with that.

I see a lot of good plot.

Baby Don't Lie

Gwen Stefani made me a liar.

During the week of Fergie, I said how we hadn't heard anything from Gwen Stefani. Now I proofread. Kind of. I mean you read the blog, you know, how rough the written language is when I do it. So, I said, yes the Throwback Thursday on Fergie is ready. That week Gwen drops “Baby Don't Lie”

I'm sitting here thinking my articles are perfect, when I am bored and reading my article and I see it mentioned that Gwen had not released any new solo material. That was a very wrong conclusion. Because, she had. Just that week.

Granted. I guess that's not really that big of a problem. Considering I posted the Throwback Thursday and the Snapshot Saturday on the same day. My life is so rough. I hope you enjoyed that double whammy, because it was not my intention at all.

Now according to Gwen we shall have her new album in December. That is very exciting. Hopefully there will be more information on this for when I talk about the music coming out in December. Now Gwen hasn't released anything since, The Sweet Escapeback in 2006.

I along with the rest of the world has always preferred Gwen's solo career over that with No Doubt. So, we were all a little put off that she refused to put out more solo material. Or, so she claimed. Now in 2014 after the commercial failure that was the last No Doubt album, we have new Gwen material.

Thank you. Granted she teased us with new material a few years ago when she did her Harajuku children's line for Target. There was a new song in the background with her singing. That is how she introduced parts of The Sweet Escape to us way back when. Nothing came of it. I was like you bitch.

Needless to say I am obsessed with “Baby Don't Lie”. It's like this reggae, hip-hop island mid-tempo-ballad that slays me. It also has some interesting writing credits. Ryan Tedder and Benny Blanco. You should know Ryan Tedder as the lead vocalist for One Republic. He's always written a lot of music for people. It's a list of people. Hilary Duff, Beyonce, Colbie Caillait, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Adele, Kelly Clarkson. He kills the game.

You might not know Benny Blanco, but he's this rapper/ DJ combo that I'm here for. He's had a lot of those really obnoxious hits. The man's worked with Katy Perry and Ke$ha. That comes as no surprise.

Benny Blanco

Ryan Tedder

It probably also explains why there are repetitions of words in “Baby Don't Lie”. Does it make it catchier? Yes. Does it bother me. No, not really. I love it. Even, the little rap breakdown is for me. I'm just like take me, Gwen.

Needless to say I will keep you up to date. The album is going to be a high point of my life. And, if this song is any representation. It will be great.

It also goes without saying that I love the music video. Watch it. Embrace it. Buy the song. Pre-Order the album. Live your life.

This Is Halloween

Happy Halloween, everyone. I hope you are doing something real exciting. I was supposed to be going to a murder mystery party today. Instead I am at work. We were not allowed to ask off from work, and I was like please god. He did not answer. Hopefully it is not busy. We shall see.

Now some of you may be hosting a party tonight, just looking for some good music to put on in order to be festive. That is what I am here to do. I love all of these songs. With any luck these should be the creepy that you did not think of to add to your Halloween play list. I will not insult your intelligence. I'm sure you got the cornerstones: “Thriller”, “Disturbia”, “This Is Halloween”.

Last year Queen B deposited some perfect Halloween music for us. “Haunted” should have the feel that you want for a Halloween party. It is minimalist and it's also called “Haunted”. So, that lyrical content is on point. I also think her cover of Amy Winehouse's “Back to Black” with Andre 3000 is a strong contender to being added to your play list. If you don't feel it, maybe the original Amy version is more to your liking.

Buy "Haunted"

For BoA's first and only English studio album, she did a cover of girl group Monrose's “Scream”. It might not be perfect Halloween mood, but unlike Christmas we do not have albums dedicated to the subject. I like BoA's version better, because I like BoA. She's a major K-Pop, J-Pop star in line with the stardom of Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera.

Buy "Scream"

The video is what makes “Two Black Cadillacs” a perfect song for Halloween. It's about this possessed car that ends up killing a man. Perfect for Halloweeen. And of course the song itself is about the same thing. Killing a man who has done you wrong. Carrie Underwood always reinventing how to get even with a man.

Buy "Two Black Cadillacs"

Known for “Forget You”, his spot on The Voice, and his recent comments on rape Cee Lo Green released a solid soul R&B album The Lady Killer. I still like the album. I just don't know what he's doing with his life. But, one of the songs on it is “Bodies”. An evident precursor to his thoughts on rape now that I think about it. Still perfectly creepy for Halloween. It is heavily suggested by the song that his lovers body is found dead in his bed. The backing music alone should be strong enough to grab your attention.

Buy "Bodies"

Now this is more of a fun lyrically relevant Halloween song by Diablo Swing Orchestra. Part rock band, part Orchestra, part Opera their fun and silly song “Voodoo Mon Amour” should shift the underlying emotional stress of previous song “Bodies”.

Buy "Voodoo Mon Amour"

You should be aware that I adore Fergie. I mean I did do a week of Fergie. So, there should be no surprise that her song “Voodoo Doll” found it's way onto this list. With hushed lyrics (I don't have arms, I don't have any human qualities) and talk of stalling the devil and looking into crystal balls. Both musically and lyrically it should find space on a Halloween playlist.

Buy "Voodoo Doll"

“I'm In It” may not exemplify Halloween, but Kanye West throws in enough robotic screams to make it a terrifying pop/rap experience on his last album Yeezus.

Buy "I'm In It"

Of course Lady Gaga found her way into Halloween. With more then one song to choose from, I settled on “Bloody Mary” and “Monster” as exemplary Halloween lore.

Buy "Bloody Mary"

Buy "Monster"

With Lana Del Rey almost all of her songs have the right atmosphere for a Halloween bash. You could pick either of the title tracks off of albums Born to Die or Ultraviolence and have a perfect Halloween slow jam. However, “Gods and Monsters” off of her EP Paradise is much more inclined towards the spirit of the holiday over the other two tracks. Halloween is all about being in the lands of Gods and Monsters.

Buy "Gods and Monsters"

Queen Madonna after thirty years in the music business has made more then enough music for at least one of her songs to make it's way into this list. Let's start with 2012's “Gang Bang”. All about shooting her lover in the head over and over, meeting him in hell and doing it all over again. Halloween enough for you?

A Justin Timberlake backed “Voices” closes out her Hard Candy, just in time for Halloween. There are voices in “your head”. Creepy bells to close out the track and enough lyrical content to suggest being possessed to warrant a nod towards the month of October.

This song is much more fun and upbeat. It was a leftover from Like a Prayer and it found its way onto the B-Side of her “Cherish” single. Something is “Supernatural”, some have suggested that it is the touch of your hand. While, I just like to think it was made for Halloween. If you like it. Rip the song from youtube. You can't download it legally from iTunes or anything like that.

Buy "Gang Bang"

Buy "Voices"

You should be familiar with Phil Collins classic “In The Air Tonight”. Knowing the back story to this song, should help you realize why it's perfect for tonight. It has been said that the lyrics tell the story of someone drowning, crying out for help, and that person choosing not to save them. It has also been suggested that the narrator is Phil Collins himself, who saw all of this happen, but was unable to do anything to stop it. Over the years Phil Collins has always denied that this song means “anything”. It's still a fascinating story none the less isn't it?

Buy "In The Air Tonight"

There should be no explanation for why The Pretty Reckless's song “Going to Hell” made the cut. If you like this song by the Taylor Momsen fronted band, you might also be interested in their song “Zombie”.

Buy "Going To Hell"

We all know Rihanna's major smash “Disturbia” and scene stealing “Russian Roulette”, but what about the opener to album Rated-R, “Mad House”? Under two minutes long. There's no reason not to let her open up your Halloween bash.

Buy "Mad House"

Silly Christian band The W's is my final suggestion with their song “The Devil is Bad”. Between all the zombies, bloody mary's, drownings, and debauchery of the night it might be good to remember that the devil is bad.

The Mindy Project is a show you should be aware of. I watched it sporadically for the longest time. It's a funny show. The reason I didn't invest in season one, was because of ABC's Don't Trust The Bitch In Apartment 23. That show is better, then The Mindy Project.

However, it is not longer with us. ABC cancelled it. Just like ABC cancels everything. Too quickly and without an adequate resolution. Thank you for that.

This obsession with The Mindy Project has been building up, since I bought the first season after getting sushi out with Thunder and her sister J. Lo. I went into Best Buy, just planning on buying Calvin Harris's album 18 Months. I leave with Calvin Harris and the first season of The Mindy Project.

It was a good time in my life back when I was working too much, but had more then enough money to buy whatever I wanted. Now I exist.

I have been making slow, but steady progress on this season. Whenever, I have thirty minutes where I know I am not going to do anything, I'm like lets watch The Mindy Project.

Mindy is me. Pop culture obsessed. Cute. Adorable. Witty. A questionably good employee. The kind of person who asks the important questions in life. She is perpetually single and for the most part is okay with that. She is a resilient feminine woman.

I however do not have the stamina or nerve to become an OBGYN. Sorry, world I do not have any intentions of entering the medical world. I do not want to deliver your baby. That really does not appeal to me. I'm sorry if I just ruined your dreams for me.

The work environment in this show, however I can handle. I could do that. You have crass nurse, Beverly. Former convict, Morgan. Who is the strangest part of the show. The virgin and the slut as receptionists. And, Mindy's two male colleagues. Danny, the strong male figure from Staten Island, and Dr. Reed the attractive British OBGYN that Mindy has casual sex with.

A great sitcom is where you bond with every character. That is The Mindy Project. Morgan can be annoying as hell, but I love him. I love what he adds to this show. I love seeing Mindy stumble her way through love in New York.

If you haven't seen it. Give it a chance. Comedy is really subjective. The world is obsessed with Forrest Gump. I saw the movie once. I made my effort to be culturally aware. I'm over it. You might like it. You might not. I don't know.

Watch the show. Netflix it. Watch it on Fox. It comes on Tuesday's at 9:30/8:30 central.
