Say What?!

Hey-lo to you too, fellow blogonians. Thanks supercalifragilisticexpialidocious for the comments! I have finally hit the double digits (CELEBRATE NOW!!!)

So, I just found about the queen of new ska (aka Gwen Stefani) and her hubby had their second kid. I was exited, not because of what the gender is or who he/she (it is a he) would resemble more but of the anticipated name of the child. Normally, if this was a family member or someone else I know, the name isn't as big as a deal because generally, they want something classy/sophisticated/nice/normal etc. so the naming isn't as extravagant. BUT since it's a celeb, they MUST MUST MUST outdo all of the other celebrities who named their kids strange. So, I decided to do a post dedicated to this manner.


10. David Duchovny and Tea Leoni-Kyd Miller Duchovny 
What was the inspiration?? They were like "Hey, this is our second kid. Hmmm, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT NAME??" I'm just imagining the confusion whenever someone yells out the word "kid"

9. Rob Morrow-Tu Morrow
If none of you guys know who this guy is, he plays the cop brother on Numb3rs, FYI. I like the occasional pun here and then but I want to know if he named his daughter as a joke. Honestly, is this going to help her??? I don't think so.

8. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale- Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale
I was pretty excited when I heard Gwen was preggers again and hoped for a baby Gwen. To my dismay, Gwen had another son whose name sounds like a girl's. It's not that I hate it, I just find it to be more feminine. Plus, why Rock as a middle name? His brother's name sounds so majestic and Zuma's name is...well, sinking like a rock.

7. Nicolas Cage- Kal-El
Nic Cage said he wanted something exotic and still very American. So why not name your kid after Superman. Clark isn't bad. But Mr. Cage decided that it wasn't good enough so let's name him what Superman was originally called Kal-El, son of Jor-El. Isn't there a better way of showing your love for comics??

6. Sylvester Stallone- Sage Moonblood
I'm giving some props to Sly just because he made sure the weirder name is not her first name. Still, you had to use the word "blood" in it someway, didn't you? (Note: what is Moonblood??)

5. Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow- Apple Blythe Allison Martin
Ok, I love both of these people. And the name isn't that strange. First of all, Apple is on here because if you add an "i" to Martin, her name would be Apple Martini (great job!). Also, upon reading Gwyneth's explanation on why they named her Apple, Gwyneth hardly seemed to know herself. Finally, last month Chris (who I still like) said this, quote "There's nothing weird about calling your baby Chewbacca if that's what you want to call your baby". Chris, THERE ARE MANY THINGS WRONG WITH YOU IF YOU NAME YOUR KID AFTER A WOOKIE. That's why Apple is on the list. 

4. Frank Zappa- any of his kids
Ok, if none of you guys know, Frank has named all his children VERY strangely. His kids' names are: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. Ya, he had a pretty cool last name but I think I would trade it for Smith if my first name was any one of those.

3. Penn Jillette- Moxie Crimefighter
Here we are folks, take 1 magician and a lady and PRESTO! You get Moxie Crimefighter. Really, it's bad enough you had to name her after a soda (which tastes awful) but you just had to give her a career also?? At least if she somehow receives Daddy's "magical" skills, she already has a name for that character. 

2. Jermaine Jackson- Jermajesty
Self-explanatory.



AND NUMERO UNO IS..........




1. Jason Lee- Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee
I don't hate Jason Lee. He's somewhat entertaining on My Name's Earl, he seems to be not into the Hollywood Scene a lot, he sounds like a regular guy gone famous. SO WHY DID HE NAME HIS KID THIS??? I don't even know how to pronounce the 3rd name and why is Inspector spelled with a "K"?? It's all truly mind boggling. What's the kid's nickname? Pi?? Here is a true example of a celeb kid who may end up killing his self/father/mother/anybody because of the name he was stricken with. 

Well, that's my list but when you comment (and please do comment!), why don't you add some names you find weird, or who I should put in a different spot, etc. Next post will have lots of outfits, I promise.

Keep on rocking in the free world (haha, narduar)

Top 5 Most Annoying Teeny Boppers

hey peoples! Right now I'm on vacation (will do a post about that later) and using my mother's computer for this post. So, some time ago, the Jonas Bros. came to Toronto and unfortunately, I know people who saw them and of course were ECSTATIC about it. So, I decided to do a post counting down the Disney singers/stars that bother me the most. Here we go!






5. Demi Lovato


So, while she hasn't turned into the mega teen celeb Miley Cyrus (more on her later), Demi is just a self-titled debut CD away from it. Argh, really, her character from Camp Rock was so annoying (how generic good girl of her to stand up for herself and shit) and getting the guy in the end? How surprising! But this girl scares me because her voice is so whiny and when she was "performing" during the movie, it scared the shit out of me. Her mouth was just too open and then she kept flailing her arms around, it was not a pretty sight. Just wait for her to rise through the charts and to hear her voice over and over on the radio






4. The Cast of High School Musical





Ok, Corbin has to stop "pushing it" and Ashley needs to learn that no one cares what he or she says because all of these songs are making me INSANE. It's one thing to say that you are going to do a CD because you were a part of HSM but I hate it so much when they are all "I'm going for an R&B kinda thing" or "It's gonna be so edgy". IT'S ALL BUBBLE GUM POP! THAT'S IT! I'm waiting for them to get their heads in the game and realize that they have to look at other career options once HSM 3 is out.





3. Jonas Brothers






Can someone tell me what's so great about them? Is it the fact that Kevin is waiting to come out of the closet (does anybody think he's gay also??)? Or that all of them need a haircut (eww, Kevin's sideburns)? Does anybody understand what makes all girls go crazy over them, they're just guys who look like they haven't hit puberty (and Nick is 2 years older than me) and who's songs are mediocre. I just wished that they're promise rings stood for them promising to stop making music.






2. Miley Cyrus


ha, bet you thought that the reigning teen queen would be topping this list but I have someone more annoying than her (how can that be?!). Look, even though I can't STAND her music, I can understand why she gets so much money. Here's a basic breakdown.


1. First, she gets money from sales of the 1st Hannah Montana CD and good ratings from her show.
2. More money from DVD sales of episodes plus ratings increasing in Season 2 boost her earnings. O and she realeases 2 CDS so that she gets double the cash.
3. Concerts, movie about the concerts and a DVD also help along with merchandise from TV show and concerts.


SEE?! LOOK AT ALL THE PLACES SHE CAN GET MONEY FROM! It sucks to see a girl who releases such uninspired music earn SO MUCH CASH! Really, I never want to see her again.






And the number one most annoying teeny bopper in 3...











2...










1. Hilary Duff


While I find Miley more irritating than Ms. Duff (because she's more current), I can't forget the years I spent covering my ears to Hil's music. She is the original teen queen (and Miley's idol!) and basically started the whole trend of Disney actresses going into the music business. First with Lizzie Macguire then doing the movie then releasing her CDs, all of that just really really bugged me. When I heard her singles on the TV they all sounded so robotic and synthesized. While the ones above are probably more of an annoyance now, it's because of Hilary's actions that so many are walking the same pack, which makes her number 1.




That's my countdown and I'm out!

OK, I'M BACK!

ok, for some very weird reason, people actually thought this blog was cool (ok, semi-cool) and that I should continue. So I am and I will start off with a countdown.
5 Bands/Singers I Would Like To See In Concert

5. Jack's MannequinSo, back in the day, I used to watch One Tree Hill and heard this song on the show. Go on the net, research a bit and bang! I find out about this band. With Andrew McMahon's voice and the soulful lyrics plus some cool piano playing, seeing them would definitely be a lighter up in the air experience (or as seen in their Mixed Tape vid, a cellphone in the air experience).

4. Radiohead Ok, so I'm not the biggest Radiohead fan but I have to love their musicality. While the lyrics are nonsense (hey, I'm not being mean, even Thom Yorke stated that ALL his lyrics were nonsense so I'm just using his words!) the drums, the guitars, everything makes you feel so many different things. Just being in concert would be a rush of emotions which would only make that night completely spectacular!

3. Kate Nash Kate Nash reminds me of myself in a bad mood. Which is to say, don't get in her way or else your idiocy is gonna turn into a smash hit (well, the smash hit part is different, for her it means a good song, to me it means that I'm gonna kick you) She talks about failed relationships and mundane objects but it all seems to come together in the end. I can imagine at her concerts, all the inspiration she would bring to myself since she talks about things we can all relate to.

2. The Ting Tings I've already talked about how much I love the Ting Tings, so it's only right that I want to go to their concert. This is actually a concert full of music that would make everybody dance or move or sing along. It just has that right beat and that tune which is only satisfied by doing something. Unfortunately, their concert here was for the 19+ crowd which meant that I couldn't go see them. 'Tis a shame. And the number 1 group I loved to see in concert...

1. Roisin Murphy
Here is a person who is completely unique. From her style to her lyrics and to the the genre she produces, Roisin is a lady that knows what she is and embraces it. I want to see her concerts because they just seem that they would be full of unexpected stuff and that makes her concerts truly her own.


Well, there is my countdown
I'll post other stuff soon
