Justin Bieber...the new pop king?

As I logged onto AOL just now the headline read… "Is Justin Bieber the new pop king?" (with a side by side picture of him and Michael Jackson I kid you not) I didn't have to read the article to know the answer - which is obviously yes! 

Justin Bieber? HE'S getting compared to MJ? I don't blame him for this, I blame the people of America. This country has backed one too many celebrities that have no talent, and have created fortunes for them as well. 

After hearing this, my mind started thinking of other famous people who have as well been lucky enough to get the popularity vote from Americans. 

It first went to the Kardashians. 

I don't think anyone really knows how they became "The Kardashians". While I will say their show is oddly entertaining, all 60 of them, I find myself wondering…. Who the hell are these people? 

Okay, I know who Bruce Jenner is, but really other than that the Kardashian clan is a mystery to me. You'd think they all came from a famous woman's hoo hah or something - but no. They just live these rich lives from money they got from all the publicity they are getting - thanks to the people of America. Sure they have fragrances, magazine covers, commercials, endorsements, but when you think about it it all came from us. 

Other celebrities I thought of were Miley Cyrus (yes she comes from a famous dad, but lets face it - she'll be a stripper by the age of 20), Kendra Wilkinson (the playboy model who now has her OWN reality TV show), Snookie and the rest of the Jersey shore cast - I mean, I could literally go on and on. Sanjaya? Fantasia? Every single American Idol winner after Kelly Clarkson basically, other than Kris Allen ;). Okay..I'm stopping now. 

I will admit that most of the no talent celebrities do have some dang entertaining shows, but once again I come back to you America… We feed the publicity and fortune of these people, so why are we doing it? 

I would personally love to watch a show about a talented human being - rather than a girl with horse teeth, a woman with a laugh that could make your hair fall out, or a real life Garfield look-a-like. I would also love it if people who could actually sing were on the radio… rather than a girlish boy singing "baby baby", or Tay Swift singing about all the relationships she's had in her 20 years of life - which is a lot.. Has no one ever realized that? 

People need to stop embracing the bad, and embrace the wonderfully talented people. Adele has been an amazing singer for how many years now..? and just because her song was in a movie she's NOW becoming famous? Seriously people. 

I guess all I have left to say is your welcome to all the non-talented celebrities out there. It's been a blast listening to your bad music and being forced to watch your shows because nothing else is on TV anymore. Your welcome for giving you all the money in the world and living a better life than the rest of us. Love ya, mean it. ;)

Until next time!

I die.

Hey everyone!

As some of you may know, I have written a few blogs in the past for ice-dance.com, and for a while now I have wanted to write a blog for me. I didn't want to do a normal blog about my life, but I wanted to write about something light-hearted and fun -- with maybe a few hints of sarcasm ;). I struggled to find the first topic for my blog -- do I want to do one involving skating, relationships, fashion? There were just too many options.. but then the only person who knows I'm writing this blog said, "Why not write about Rachel Zoe?" 

Who's this Rachel Zoe you ask?

Well, to be honest with you I had no idea who she was until about a year ago when I stumbled across her show on Bravo... 

I will admit, I enjoy some of what Bravo has to offer… Top Chef? Always delicious. The Real Housewives of "blah blah blah"? Oddly addictive (especially the NJ one.. but I may be biased). Project Runway? It has Heidi Klum and Tim Gun -- so there really isn't anything not to like. But unfortunately, like every network, Bravo has a few shows that, well, are just not good. 

For instance, The Millionaire Matchmaker is one of them. 

I honestly have no idea why we need a show matching Millionaires with "normal" people. They're basically saying, "Since your loads of cash didn't get you a woman, maybe we can find some sort of winning personality trait that no one has seen before." While these people think it's going to work, really the only women who are interested in them are gold diggers. 

Then there is the Rachel Zoe Project -- Starring none other than the somewhat crazy, yet famous hollywood stylist, Rachel Zoe.

I'm not going to lie, I liked her show in the beginning. I think this was because I'd take her job in a heartbeat -- It basically would be a dream come true styling Hollywood stars…but then I actually WATCHED the show. Behind all the glitz and glam, there is a woman who just doesn't quite get it. She tends to use words like “amazing” and “bananas”, that she pronounces as if she has turrets - She always wears these outrages outfits of fur and animal print that make it seem like she was stuck inside of Jumanji for quite some time and fashioned clothes out of whatever she could find. In addition to the way she talks and dresses, she's as dumb as a board. I mean, I suppose she's "smart" considering she's successful and rich or whatever, but honestly…she's oblivious to everything not having to do with fashion. 

After watching a few episodes I started realizing who Rodger was. I kept thinking he was another one of her assistants… that never did anything? Wait a second, he's at home with her?… Wait a second, they just kissed? Back up. They're married? He's not gay? That was a big shocker. No man wears a scarf the way he does and gets aroused by women. 

All in all I would turn to The Rachel Zoe project for some great fashion and a good laugh (and an occasional glimpse of Donatella Versace, AKA the witch who crawled out of a cave). She has everything in a show you could ask for - fashion, an over emotional assistant, closeted gay husband, and constant relationship fights about being a workaholic. While these things combined create an entertaining hour, it wears on you fast, so beware. 

To end my blog I'd like to share a few links from youtube that make fun of Rachel Zoe. Watch it, and you'll understand why I dedicated this blog to her. It's ba-na-nas.

Until next time!
