Video of the Day: Bret Michaels at the Tony Awards

See Bret Michaels perform with the cast of Rock of Ages .. and see what happens at the 0:12 mark of the video:

Fun Stuff of the Day: Film the Blanks
Film the Blanks is an ongoing art experiment where every week a movie poster is abstracted/reduced to very little of what the original poster looks like. To play, commenters take a stab at what movie the poster is from, and the first 10 correct commenters are awarded a point each. You can play for your chance at a prize- at a 100, I think you get a printed version of one of the posters. I don't participate in that sense, but I do like checking the site from time to time. I'm not a movie buff and I'm not all too familiar with MOST of these posters, but I like checking the site cause the blanked out posters are works of arts themselves. But for the most part, I have no idea where many of posters are from. However, I guessed this one to the left as soon as I saw it. It is from my favorite movie ever, and I think it's one of the easier ones on the site. Any takers?

Trailer of the Day: Nine
I don't know what the premise of this movie is, but it has like a crapload of stars, or should I say, amazing actors- Daniel Day Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard (MY GIRL CRUSH), Fergie. It looks to be some sort of musical? The trailer doesn't do much to explain the plot, but I am intrigued. Very much so. Beautiful women (seriously, LOVE. Marion.Cotillard.), high production scale. This brings me back to the summer where I just watched Moulin Rouge over and over again. I love musicals!

Site of the Day: My Life is Average
Back in February, I posted about the now popular site F My Life (FML). Not to be outdone, some geniuses came up with the site, My Life is Average (MLIA).
I want to say that it's so average .. that it's cute. It definitely makes you chuckle or at least smile :)
My favorite?
"Today, when I was taking a shower, I realized I was out of body wash, so I used bar soap instead. MLIA."

Playlist of the Day: Apple Songs
I love listening to music via imeem. And I love Apple. So after hearing that imeem would now be available for the iPhone and iPod Touch .. I am soo happy, I mean IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Anyway, in lieu of this, imeem is currently featuring a "Songs in Apple commercials" playlist. You might think it's a bit tool-ish, but there's no denying that Apple commercials are hella catchy, and the songs they feature in their commercials aren't that bad :x

Cover of the Day: Kris Allen - Heartless
So I stopped watching American Idol this season after my favorite contestant, Anoop Desai, was voted off a few weeks ago, but I did manage to catch this performance below, and I was happy. Now, I'm not a fan of Kanye's last album, but there are a couple of great songs on it, including Heartless. For Kris Allen to walk onto that stage and perform it with nothing but his guitar? THIS IS WHY I LOVE GOOD COVERS. And this is the reason why he beat out season favorite Danny Gokey to make it into the finals next week. Now, he's never going to win, as Adam Lambert has had "American Idol Season 8 Winner" tattooed on his arm since the competition began, but considering this season really was about who was going to be the runner-up anyway, good job Kris. He's cute too. But married. Very married.

Song of the Day: "Flavor of Life" by Utada Hikaru
As mentioned in past posts, I fell in love with 꽃보다 남자 (Boys Before Flowers). However, ever since the Korean drama ended, I've been going through withdrawal. My cure for it? Watching the Japanese equivalent of it - 花より男子 (Hana Yori Dango) (I'm currently on Season 2).
Because the series was so popular in Japan, of course the freaking talented Utada Hikaru has a song on their soundtrack, "Flavor of Life."
Anyway, listen and enjoy:
Flavor Of Life - ??????

Person I want to be of the Day: Mindy Kaling
I heart Mindy Kaling. She's a writer on the Office, my favorite show, and she has written some of the best episodes: The Dundies, Take Your Daughter to Work Day, The INJURY!!! She is super cute, self-deprecating, and I imagine she talks exactly like Kelly Kapoor does, which is all kinds of awesome, you guys. She also has a mostly-defunct blog that I looooove called "Things I've Bought that I Love" which is super fantastic for wannabe fashionistas and bona-fide shopaholics like me. But really, let's go back to the talent. She's funny, she's a great writer, and she's managed to do what every funny writer hopes to do in Hollywood: have a stable paycheck, whilst landing a development deal to star in and write her own show. NBC signed her to a 2-year, 7-figure (!!) deal that will have her continue to work on the Office, while she is developing her show. Very a la Tina Fey who I also LOOOVE. You go, girls! I want to be Mindy when I grow up.

Irrelevant Celeb Venture of the Day: GOOP
GOOP is a somewhat criticized weekly newsletter/lifestyle website that was started by Gwyneth Paltrow late last year. The themes of GOOP are Make, Go, Get, Do, Be, and See, and every week she sends out a newsletter that pertains to one of the words above (which is then archived on the website, in case you haven't signed up for the newsletters). It made news 2 weeks ago when in this BE issue, she talked about having a "frenemy" who had made her life hell for years. When that said person went through an "unfortunate and humiliating"event, Gwyneth was secretly glad... The media world went wild speculating that this frenemy of hers was none other than Winona Ryder, who used to be besties with Gwyneth but is not anymore. Dun dun dun, drama rama.
It's things like that that make GOOP so entertaining. I look forward to her opinions and thoughts in my mailbox every week. Since she's famous and she has lots o' famous friends, sometimes those friends will make appearances in her newsletters (Mario Batali's dinner party recipes, Madonna's Book Club recs) And I always laugh when she gets really into explaining recipes or restaurant recommendations, cause well, Gwyneth doesn't look like she eats anything but grass, but whatever. And yeah, I mean, most of us will not be able to afford half the things she says are "must-dos" or "must haves," but even with that total irrelevance to our everyday lives, I find her desire to make all of our lives better endearing (yeah, I'm rolling my eyes a little here)! No, but seriously, it's really entertaining stuff. I think she's cute.

Hottie of the Day: Zac Efron
My my my, Zac Efron, how you've grown. I've always thought he was cute, from his High School Musical days, but now that he's officially 21 and officially moving further away from his Disney days, I don't feel quite so terrible about openly professing my schoolgirl crush on him. What is not to like? He's hot, he's talented, he seems nice, and minus him dating the untalented Vanessa Hudgens (YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER ZEFRON!), he's not annoying like all the other tween celebrities out there (Yeah, I'm talking to you, Miley). And he actually cares about his career: taking interesting roles like 17 Again, his new movie opening tomorrow, opting out of the remake of Footloose because he didn't want to be pegged as the musical guy, not dropping an album just cause he has the singing chops, taking advice from former child actor/mega Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio. Nice job, Zac.
He's been working really hard to promote 17 Again, which leads to many many Zac related things as of late:

Gross of the Day: Fir Tree Growth in Lung
Um, yes I did say "Fir tree growth in lung." And yes, I am being totally literal.
WARNING: Picture is a bit gross/graphic. Be warned before you decide to 'Click for more' ..
A five-centimeter fir tree has been found in the lung of a man who complained he had a strong pain in his chest and was coughing blood...Doctors x-rayed his chest and found a tumor in one of the lungs. Suspecting cancer, they made a decision to perform biopsy, but when they cut the tissue, they were amazed to see green needles in the cut...It is obvious that a five-centimeter branch is too large to be inhaled or swallowed, doctors say. They suggest that the patient might have inhaled a small bud, which then started to grow inside his body." (mosnews.com)
Blerg, yo. I'm a hypochondriac, and this bit of news has just added itself onto my list of possible illnesses :x

Band of the Day: Daphne Loves Derby
Reason: I love Daphne Loves Derby.
Reason behind the reason: While in Seattle, a random stop at a cupcake place (Cupcake Royale) led to about 15 minutes of me hyperventilating. Why? Well, I was 99% sure that a band member from Daphne Loves Derby was working behind the counter. My not-so-supportive friends were making fun of me, saying that it probably wasn't him (though, in their defense, they didn't really know what the band looks like).
Anyway, after the hyperventilation ceased, I was able to approach the member in question, who did indeed turn out to be a member of my beloved band. (Thanks to the bf for helping me approach him - though, I didn't appreciate the last minute comment of "I bet it's really not him, you're going to embarrass yourself!")
However, since it's been such a long time since I last kept tabs on the band, I was saddened to hear Spencer Abbott was no longer in the band, mainly because he wanted to figure out his own life, aside from the band :( Old news, and it made me miss the old DLD .. none of this Good Night, Witness Light stuff (which I didn't really dig, as mentioned in an earlier post).
Nonetheless, I still love the band. Their songs bring great memories for me, especially that of their pre-Good Night, Witness Light days. And yeah, not everyone has heard of them, or cares as much about them as I do .. but DLD 4 life, yo.
Here's a sample playlist of some of my favorite DLD songs; enjoy!

Lookbook of the Day: Michelle Obama
For as long as the Obamas have been in the White House, and long before then even, the media has fixated on First Lady Michelle Obama's status as a fashion icon. Unlike other First Ladies before her, she has fully embraced: colors, asymmetric cuts, unknown and rising designers, *gasp* sleeveless dresses/tops, smart accessories, and my favorite store in the world, J.Crew. She has a modelesque figure and she's not afraid to show it. Everytime she steps out into the public, it's a frenzy to figure out who and what she is wearing. As a fashion lover, I love every minute of it. NYMag has put together this slideshow of every outfit she's worn since inauguration, which will be updated daily (or whenever she makes an appearance). My personal favorite is the Kai Milla green dress she is wearing in the picture above- her hair, the dress, the shoes, everything works. I LOVE HER!
