Glee: Best new show this fall.

So the pilot for Fox's new show Glee was on this week. It was fan-tastic! It's so refreshing to see a well written, funny, hour long show NOT involving cops or doctors. It was such a tease because the show doesn't actually start until the fall - but it makes me so excited to see the whole season!

The cast is great. Lea Michele who plays Rachel (the over-acheiving musical theater chick. Think Sharpay Evans from HSM only she sits at the loser table instead of the popular table) reminds me of Idina Menzel. She looks like her but she also has an amazingly powerful voice. It's no surprise that she was in the original cast of Spring Awakening.
I also love Matthew Morrison who plays Will, the Spanish teacher who takes over as director of the Glee club. He reminisces back to the days when he was in Glee in high school and has to deal with is super annoying idiot wife.

And ok let me clear things up here. I've never heard of a real high schoo having a glee club. Singers either join choir or sing in musicals. Or, dare I say, join show choir. THAT is what glee club is in this school (which is actually set in Ohio!) Being a proud alum of an Ohio show choir I can definitely relate to this show. It definitely brings back memories of the good ol' days.

Well that's enough explanation. Enjoy the Glee kids singing Journey!!!

By the way the best line has to be "THERE'S NOTHING IRONIC ABOUT SHOW CHOIR!"

Katy Perry's Waking Up in Vegas

I love this girl. I went to her concert last month and not only was it fantastic she was super hilarious. I would love to be her friend and go to Vegas with her.
Speaking of which the video for her song "Waking Up in Vegas" just came out and it's so fun! The guy in it is Joel Moore from Dodgeball, or from the Paris Hilton classic The Hottie and the Nottie.
Makes me want to go to Vegas!

Get up and shake the glitter off your clothes now...

Those crazy Cavaliers...

So, being born and bred in Cleveland it's needless to say how absolutely excited I am that the Cavs are dominating in the playoffs. I adore them, and not because they ARE the best team in the league. The are some of the most fun guys I've ever seen play the game together. They're so goofy and always look like they're having fun (as they should, I mean basketball is a GAME). Anyways my brother found this on youtube and it is a gem. These boys are hilarious. As I've often said I just want to be best friends with all of them and hang out with them at Lebron's huge house. Too big of a dream? I think not. Enjoy! And go Cavies!!!

Susan Boyle is my hero.

So I finally watched the Susan Boyle video from Britain's Got Talent. If you haven't watched it, it is life changing. I know its like seven minutes long but trust me, it's so worth it.

When I first heard about this I thought she was really bad the way they made it seem but once I finally watched it and watched some of the responses to it - it's all love baby!
Go Susie!!! We're all rooting for you!
(The fact that she sings a Les Mis song makes it ever so much better)
Just Google her name to see all the news stories and other responses people have been giving her - even my boy Brian Williams loves her!

(Speaking of some of those responses, here's Jimmy Fallon's take on it - so wonderful)

Can't read my, can't read my, no he can't read my poker face...

What would life be without Perez Hilton? Boring and uninformative that's for sure. Found this little gem on Perez last night. Mr. Hilton is kind of obsessed with Lady GaGa (as should we all). I recently bought her album and it is quite fantastic. Steffani Germanotta (GaGa's real name - you were wondering weren't you?) recently revealed the meaning behind her single "Poker Face." I love hearing the stories behind songs. So interesting.

GaGa explains Poker Face

"Performing Sunday night at the 20th Annual White Party, Lady Gaga revealed that Poker Face is a deep philosophical discussion of her personal experience with bisexuality. GaGa's poker face is the one she puts on while she's with a man but really fantasizing about a woman."

Lindsay Lohan's single and ready to mingle

My respect for Lindsay Lohan just went up several notches.
Having just broken up with her gf Samantha Ronson, Lindsay sought out the Funny or Die guys to help her earn life points by making fun of herself. (In my opinion, making fun of yourself earns you LOTS of life points.)
Enjoy!

I love Brian Williams

Ok, ok I know we've all heard all we can about Bo Obama, the new White House puppy. But I had to post Brian William's report on Nightly News last night. He is one of the funniest people and I love watching him do lighter stories because he gets to show his humorous side. Watch him on a talk show, trust me you'll want to be best friends with him.

By the way I love was Sasha says about Bo not being able to swim
And it's nice to see Barack chilling with the fam and having some fun. So much icky economic problems he's had to deal with I'm glad we can see him being the cool dad we know he is.
Best first family ever!
Oh and the dog's pretty cute.
