Bugging and Loving Celebrities!

This week here's which celeb is bugging me and who I'm loving!!

Bugging...Jake Pavelka. I'm a celebrity junkie, but he's a fame whore!
Loving...Katy Perry. She keeps delivering good jams...her latest single is the title of every California girl's album on the book. Surprise? I think not.

Bugging...Katy Perry, really only because of her spelling in her no. 1 song"California Gurls" it bugs me just complaining about it.
Loving...Justin Bateman. He got booed at the Apple Store this week because an employee brought him out of line and let him cut. Perk of fame, tech freaks...get over it!!

Bugging...Ghana. They took down USA, therefore shit list.
Loving...Landon Donovan. Alas, we were taken out by Ghana, homeboy had some impressive foot work out on the field in this World Cup!! Not to mention scoring some pretty important goals.

Bugging...Danielle Staub from NJ Housewives. This woman is off her rocker.
Loving...Nick Lachey...his album came up on Shuffle and I got to say...some good jams on that CD. He totally won America over. Jessica, not so much.

Bugging...Anyone from Twilight. I don't care people.
Loving...Entourage's Entourage! Show comes back tomorrow night!! Yeah YA!

Celebrity Couples

1. Surprise surprise, reality fame lovin tool Jake Pavelka split from his "chosen" gal Vienna. Not that I watched his season as the man slut, excuse me, Bachelor, but I knew this guy was up to no good when he decided that he wanted to do Dancing with the Stars. Before trying to woo Jillian on the Bachelorette he was a supposed "pilot" but he quickly turned in his wings when the reality kings came knocking. Sadly, I think this fool will be in the news for quite some time (but hopefully only when it's a slow news day at People Magazine).

2. Ryan Seacrest is dating Julianne Hough? They seem like an odd couple mostly because he is annoying as all hell. But they are still in the "honeymoon" stage I suppose. So only time will tell.

3. Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart...only took them 8 years, but they finally made it official! Although I think her hubby on Brothers and Sisters, Rob Lowe, is beautiful and anyone else seems somewhat mediocre, being able to call Indiana Jones your husband isn't half bad. Kudos!

4. Jennifer Garner has got pregnancy rumors flailing about! Yeah Ya! Way to make Ben an honest man! I think this is one of my favorite Hollywood families!!

Kudos and Boos!

It's been a while, but get over it:

Kudos...ME for finally getting my act together and doing Kudos and Boos on a Sunday! yeah ya!
Boos...the Ref from the US v. Slavania game. You are on sooooo many people's shit list right now. Including my own. And for future reference, next time you take away a goal, maybe have a reason!

Kudos...Marko (and all the other dad's out there!)...Happy Father's day! We spent the day at the movies seeing Toy Story 3! I think that the four of us brought the age demographic waaaay up, but it was an effin good movie! So cute!
Boos...NCAA for literally throwing the book at USC and banning them from Bowl games for the next two years! After an "investigation" of how a company was funding the airfare for Reggie Bush's family coming to games, they came to this redic conclusion last week. First of all, NCAA maybe you should work a little faster seeing as Reggie hasn't played for USC in two seasons! And just get off your power trip!

Kudos...The Lakers! Nonni was their No. 1 fan and they pulled it off in the last game of the series and now Lamar Odom can keep Khloe Kardashian happy in their mansion! And i guess Kobe and Vanessa in theirs too! One day I will go to a Laker's game and see a celebrity. They flock to the Laker's games.
Boos...iTunes prices. What happened to $0.99 a song? They have been charging $1.29 for some songs for quite some time now but it still pisses me off when I buy my music.

If you are in Hawaii...

This morning I was listening to my fave radio show, Sarah and Vinnie, and they were talking about the train wreck couple, Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox. They have been engaged, broken up, dating, broken up, dating since apparently 2004. So now these crazy kids feel like they are on the right track again so on June 1, BAG decided to propose to Megan when they were in Honolulu, on a beach. Well, both of them had a serious party foul. When he proposed she was so stoked that she was jumping up and down so much that the ring (which obviously was too big) flew off her had and into the sand. It must have been quicksand because they spent 2 hours looking for it, and DID NOT prevail. So instead of staying there till they found it, they decide to walk away.

Sarah and Vinnie raised a good point…why not whip out a metal detector people!? Every summer in San Clemente, I always say that my goal for the week is to get a metal detector, and comb the beach, find some serious cash money and then retire. So I should get my butt on a plane to Hawaii and make my dream a reality!! Having a 2 CARAT ring in my pocket is not shabby. And there are options for me with it. I could either keep it, after having it resized from that woman’s stick fingers of course. Or I could sell it and retire.

Or, and I feel this would be most likely, I could use it as leverage with BAG and Megan to meet some celebs. But that plan has some flaws…I don’t know who they really hang out with. It could be some 6 degrees of separation though…Megan could talk to her transformers buddy Shia LeBouf who could talk to his Wall Street amigo Josh Brolin..who could talk to his step mom Barbra Streisand. Oooor, I could have BAG talk to is 90210 sister Jennie Garth who could talk to her husband Peter Facinelli..who could talk to his Twilight friend Taylor Lautner. Just kidding, I don't want to chat with him, so he would talk to his Valentine’s day costar Kathy Bates who could THEN talk to any of her Office pals—most specifically John Krasinski. Done. Who wants to go to Hawaii?

Help! They need some money!

My favorite table-flipping Housewife Teresa Guidice is in need of a money making scheme! Last week it was announced that the Guidice Family is $11 million in debt. But how in the world is that possible? Granted, I am not exactly sure what her hubby Joe (my fave househusband) does—something in construction or development maybe—but Teresa has got a best-selling cookbook, a hit tv show (but she only gets $3,000 an episode, thank you Kate Wynne, Sarah and Vinnie) and god knows what else from Bravo.


But here’s another good question, what exactly does Bravo pay for on the show? My mom and I were watching when Teresa threw her 9 year old a birthday party and Gia got an ATV and then went in a pink limo to a kid’s beauty parlor for makeovers. She kept referencing how much this was costing her without giving a dollar amount…maybe the cost of a Bravo paycheck? My bday parties were never like that, although Lady Di thought that she could trick me into thinking that when I was three and my bday landed on the parish carnival weekend. She took advantage of a dumb 3 year old and told me that everyone there was there for me. Year’s later I find out this blatant lie and it has scarred me for life.


Anyways, this loving couple has managed to get $11 million in debt. Kate’s theory is that it has to do with whatever properties they own and I agree! I can only hope that the Guidice’s find their way out without dropping Housewives because that would be so sad if she’s not on it.

Wedding Excitement!

I’m really starting to get into this whole MOH (that’s Maid Of Honor). In fact, I’m considering changing my name to that, so people know I’m serious. Even when we found out that Sarah and Tom were engaged, I knew that this was going to be the social event of 2011. Mainly because I would be in attendance…and the bride and groom, blah blah blah.

So when I got the call to be MOH, I first thanked my campaign manager Lisa, and patted myself on the back for a successful campaign, and then my brain went into a tailspin. First of all, what are my duties? What my dress would look like? But the good news is that Sarah had already figured out a lot before she even asked her wedding party—and then dangled the possibility of MOH in my face for a few weeks—so from there it has been pretty easy.

But, to prove to Sarah that I am taking my status seriously I have signed up for a few wedding sites (I clarified that I was MOH, btws), bought a couple of magazines, browsed some dresses, you know the deal. But man alive there are so many things to browse! I could play all day on www.theknot.com, in fact just today looking at party favors took up a chunk of my morning. Don’t even get me started on the magazines! I honestly think one of my new favorite past times is sitting outside working on my tan AND outlining my MOH duties. Really, where’s the lose in that situation?

One of my major duties, that I have yet to fulfill, is put up the website. Correction, complete the website. It has launched, but nothing is really on it, except their picture and a huge hydrangea. I’m working on that slowly but surely. But you should check it out…http://www.sarahtom.ourwedding.com/

What are the chances?

Tomorrow, Lisa and I fly to LA (assuming I can be vertical after Teresa's birthday party tonight). The Bonino's are gathering for Michael's high school graduation from Loyola! In the fall, Michael will carry on the tradition and go to Santa Clara--Bonino's Bronco Blood Runs Deep! BUT, first we must party. I plan on spending the day staked out on the front porch watching across the street for Adrian Grenier. That's right, Vinny Chase's house is directly across the street from Nonni. I actually don't think that either Nonni or Sarah have ever seen Vinny in person, but Nonni does say that he has a lot of cars in front of his house. Well yes, Nonni, if you made what he was making, then yes, you would have a lot of cars and an entourage in front of your house too.

So my mission, which I have put upon myself is to finally see the man and add one more person to my list. Last time it was David Hyde Pierce (in front of Vinny's house actually) and so why stop this momentum?! I'm thinking that I am flirting with a 1 in 50 chance. But as we learned from Dumb and Dumber....you're telling me there's a chance.

I wonder if the curse is finally broken? I suppose only my stake out will tell.

Sanchos...how do I love thee

This place has AMAZING fish tacos. I'm not wild about fish tacos anywhere else...and that includes Wahoo's...but boy oh boy these things are legit. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

This small taqueria in RWC is so delish in their other dishes as well! Their shrimp tacos, bomb. Their nachos, to die for. Their chicken tacos, sinfully delicious. Their burrito, heavenly. I have yet to be disappointed in their food. If you are in the area...check this place out. You will not be disappointed!

Will we be the City of Good Living still or the City of Crime?

According to Fergie, if you ain't got no money take your broke ass home, so that's just what San Carlos is doing, well to the Police force at least.

This little city has become incredibly broke after last year's economic slump, so now the city is scrambling. Their most logical choice...outsource the police force. Not the top of my list, but it's either that or close the parks (and as we learned from my new fave show, Parks and Rec, that's never a good idea because you need parks although if Rob Lowe would come to San Carlos, that I am okay with). Of course, I am still a firm believer in my "quarter give back program" but that idea will be shared when I run for City Council.

But what are the complications of outsourcing the police force? Crime? Yeah that's the first thing that I would think of! And what happens to the cops? Do they still get their pensions? I think all those questions are answered in the SF Chronicle article (yeah-ya!) today. As a San Carlosian, I'm not convinced that this is the way to go, but I don't really think there's many options out there : (

Anywho, we made it to the Chron so although SC is as broke as MC Hammer, that's gotta boost moral! Check it out here!
