"Oh Hell NO"

Oops she did it AGAIN! Except I'm sure the people around her aren't just saying "oops" I bet it's a bit more harsh than that. If you haven't heard already, Britney has been sent BACK to the psychiatric ward of the hospital. BSpears is a WACK job now. Seriously what the F happened? Or the better question is when did this all happen? I am one of the people who think it has to do with Justin Timberlake, even though that was like, a gazillion years ago. All I have to say is, just because you throw your trash out to L.A. doesn't mean it still isn't trash there. Poor lil Loooosiana girl. I mean, I'm from Arkansas but damn, Britney is legit trailer trash. Stupid is as stupid does-I mean look at her family, her dad was an alcoholic, her uncle claims he's done cocaine and other drugs with Britney..the list goes on and on.. I mean Jamie-Lynn is preggers too (which I read she might give up her baby, but who really knows). Britney, if you're reading honey, here's my advice: STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! Your fans still love you just stop acting like a crackhead! Oh, and come out with a new album where you don't sound like a HO and dance like your a stripper. Just because you don't have custody of your kids doesn't mean you don't have any! And your American, not British so cut the accent crap. Ok, that's all I have on Britney right now, but I'm assuming the juicy news will keep flowin'!

Hope you enjoyed my photo montage of Miz Spears' life!

I feel really trendy right now

Okay, so I am sitting in Starbucks doing some homework (my mind map actually) and then I think to myself "I should blog right now because that's what people in coffee shops do." So I whip out my computer, which won't work unless it's plugged in, and start blogging. I wonder if people think I'm cool now? Maybe I'll purposefully move my computer screen so more people can see what I'm doing. Mmm trendy coffee and blogging: welcome to 2008 Alex! Next time I'll wear all black, with a funky beret and smoke a cig after. I'm such a Meadows kid after all....

PS I hope I look as cool as the guy in this picture!

Funniest Kid EVER!

So stinkin' cute! This youtube clip reminds me having my own children and how black kids are SO CUTE! Remember Wilbur from Nip/Tuck, I'm pretty obsessed with him too. In my mind map for class I have things about my family, and how I might want to adopt. If I do, I want this kid!

Enjoy!

I'm Having a Blah Moment

SO I was thinking I should blog sometime soon but then I realized I wasn't having anything really cool to blog about. I've been working on my mind map, which I really like, but I woke up today to work on it and NOTHING. I am having a non-creative day I feel like (though Dr. G might like to beg to differ there is no sort thing!) Anywho, I think it's a combination of lack of sleep and not feeling to good, sniffle. Or maybe it's the weather. I feel like people blame the weather for a lot of their problems. Like, I'm not going to class, it's too cold or my joints hurt, I think it's the weather. So, I guess im going to blame the weather too because I don't like this blah mood I'm in!

Sex on Skates

Okay, so yea the title of this blog may be a bit risque but seriously, ice hockey players are gods among men! I went to the Dallas Stars game tonight again the Buffalo Sabres and it was AMAZING! It was the closest I had ever sat- 2nd row! The players were being thrown up against the glass and it didn't even phase them. Of course when it did, they would rip their gloves off and beat the hell out of one another, (which is legal until one of them falls to the ground), and then just carry on. Where do these guys get the stamina? Not only are they completely full on contact the entire time, but they look sooo good while they do it! Matt Niskanen, Loui Eriksson and Brenden Morrow just to name drop a few ooze masculinity as they are playing this violent sport and no one can take their eyes off of them! Although Dallas did lose tonight, it was definitely a victory for myself because now I know that I will never sit any farther away from Mike Modano than 2nd row. Also, watching hockey brings out a different side of me, I think it brings out my aggressiveness because I am yelling at the top of my lungs and jumping up and down when it becomes to close to handle! So much for my zen-like experience at yoga. That's gone to shit now that I'm all riled up on hockey!

Exhale

Last night around 7:45 I attended a beginner's yoga class at the Exhale Spa at the Palomar hotel in Dallas. It was wonderful!! I mean, you hear about all these people doing yoga and what not but for some reason this session really stuck to me. I am dying to go back! ( in fact I am on Saturday) The teacher really just brought out my inner calm and was soothing and although some of the movements were hard, it didn't stress me out.

I went with two of my girlfriends and we had the best time ever. It was like some high or something but we couldn't stop talking about how good we felt after the session! So, I just wanted to share that the Exhale Spa does a really great job or relieving stress and helping out with flexibility at the same time! So you should go! There's even a student discount!!

When Celebrities Get Involved

So now that the the political campaigning is in full force, you can bet that each candidate has a trick or two up their sleeve. Barack Obama, has some famous tricks under his sleeves. Oprah is just one of the many celebrity endorsers of Mr. Obama's campaign and probably the most influential. It is a proven fact that anything Oprah touches will turn to gold (books, her favorite things, etc.) I'm just wondering (and hoping) if it will do the same for Obama. Poor Hilary had to go on the Tyra Banks show which is shit compared Oprah's franchise. Who watches that show? Good question. Or will the endorsments of celebrities hinder the politicians campaign? I mean, what do they really know about American government? Wait, our own President doesn't seem to know that question either. Anyways, it will be interesting to see who the front-runners end up being and then seeing the full force of support come out for the candidates! Celebrities will do anything to get attention, especially now that the writer's strike has them out of work!

So Tragic

Check out YouTube.com under "Heath Ledger Talks about the Joker." This is probably one of the last images we'll see of Heath, besides the actual Batman movie.



Here's Heath in an interview for the new Batman movie. He is set to play the Joker. Something looks fishy about his actions. Reports were he was on sleeping pills because this role called for "high energy and stamina everyday."

PS: Sorry I'm working on how to share links right now...

Maybe I should be an actress, minus the drugs and custody battles...

Okay, sooo I just returned from seeing 27 dresses and after most good movies I see, I feel inspired to do something. Now, I feel inspired to pursue an acting career. OK, so not really, but come on, they have it really good! Katherine Heigl got to make out with James Marsden AND Ed Burns in one film AND she just got married to a rockstar (I wonder if she replayed the corny lines in her head at her actual real-life wedding..?). In lieu of recent findings, aka my best friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, just recently auditioned to be on a soap opera.. soo maybe I should move to L.A. or New York for you artsy folks, and do the damn thing. I mean, most women portrayed in movies act at an ad agency or magazine of some sort so I got sorta got that down. I could change the face of acting I just know it. I mean I would still attend fabulous award shows, get free swag and shag whichever costar I want, as long as the pap doesn't find out (which of course, they will and I'll become and even BIGGER star,hello Angelina-Jolie anyone?!!). First I would start off by wearing underwear everywhere, because the paparazzi are always looking. Check. Then I would marry my director (for love, duh) and we could live in a loft and raise our children whose names would, of course, be original. Finally I would retire as a Tony award winning actress on Broadway ( I hear Legally Blonde is so hot right now). Yes. I feel inspired. The next movie on my list is Persepolis, which is a french cartoon (forget Madeline, this girl is dark) with subtitles. Maybe I'll move to Paris next?

PS: The writer's strike better be over by the time I'm an actress or else I'm screwed!

Heath Ledger found dead

Heath Ledger, Australian actor was found dead today at the age of 28. The probable cause of death is most likely drugs, as pills were found by his bedside table. I told my roommate the news and she said "that's awful!" as my friend Sarah said "He was so hot!" Whatever the sentiments are, the reality is that he is dead. If it was an overdose, was it on purpose? Why would someone who has it all, a thriving career, a beautiful daughter, loving friendships, LOVED by millions want it all to end? I can understand needing a vacation but death is a pretty permanent vacation! His fans adored his work, his looks, even his accent was envied! What personal demons could this poor man be facing in order for this to have happened? It just goes to show that celebrities really ARE human and that they face just as many problems as the rest of us, yet they are in the public spotlight because they "chose" this when they decided to be actors. If Heath had personal demons that weren't forseen in the media, I can only imagine what's going to happen next with Britney Spears....

UPDATE: This just in: Heath Ledger was found in Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment that he was renting from the twin! Scandal.

Today 4 U, Tomorrow for Elle Woods?!?

It has just recently been announced that the Broadway play, RENT will be closing after 12 years on Broadway. Why? I'm not really sure of that question. It presents a powerful message and a goose-bump worthy songs that every type of person can (hopefully) relate to. Instead, new up and comers like "Legally Blonde: The Musical" are huge hits and RENT just isn't making the cut anymore. What does that go to show you? That beautiful ditzy blondes can definitely go to Harvard and people with AIDS just don't interest people anymore? I sure hope that's not the case. RENT going away is losing a huge art form made up of different people who all share the same hope: love. On June 1st, the original cast of RENT will gather for the last time to perform one of my favorite plays of all time. I would kill (well, maybe not THAT literally) to see the last showing of RENT. I can't really see it going away FOREVER though.. I mean, really? They are NEVER EVER going to show RENT again? Hmmm.. I sure hope they're lying.

Here's a link of the producer of RENT and his tearful synapsis of what will forever be known as one of the longest and most memorable playing shows on Broadway: www.siteforrent.com

You don't know me

Okay, so last night was quite interesting. I actually am speechless which is a first. How well do you think people really know you? Because I was definitely called out last night and everything that was said was so head-on, I'm not sure that I actually knew it myself. I didn't think that I was so obvious; I thought that I knew how to play this "game" but I guess I am not so good at it. Damn. That's really all I can say. After he told me everything about myself that I thought was pretty secretive I dropped my jaw. How could he read me like that? I was actually kind of pleasantly surprised even though this may seem a little stalker-ish. Contemplative, yes. Obsessive, maybe. But it clicked and I was impressed that he could know so much about me by just my actions and observing my movements...this post may seem a little empty and lofty but that's how I'm feeling right now and it's very hard to explain so maybe next time I will be able to verbalize this better...

The Thin Blue Line

Firstly, I have classes starting from 11:00-3:50 non-stop every Tuesday and Thursday. That is an extremely long time for someone to sit in a chair and listen (or in my case it is). After grabbing a snack during my ten minute interval before my last class, I head upstairs to the Greer Garson theatre. My class, the history of documentary film, is watching the documentary "The Thin Blue Line" today. To sum up the film, a 16 year old boy pretty much lies and puts an innocent man to jail for killing a police officer. Everyone thought that the innocent man was lying; they had proof to show for it. But he wasn't and because of the film being released, the man was let out of jail. This made me wonder. How does any jury ever REALLY know that someone is lying or telling the truth? I mean, most criminals deny til they die, but this man really wasn't lying when he said he was innocent. I started to think how many other innocent people were in jail in place of all the guilty crazy lot that escaped. Far too many i presume. One of the lawyers even gave up his job after this case because he knew that the man was innocent but no one would believe him. Everyone else already had an agenda and wanted to have a suspect put behind bars and stay there. Did I mention that this crime happened in Dallas? Yea, scary thought. This film just kind of proved that the justice system is corrupt in places and an innocent man can and will go to jail. Or a guilty man can roam free? O.J. anybody? The glove didn't fit in this case but they wanted it to so they squeezed it on.

I can't believe I have a blog...

HA! This is all very new to me but I'm actually excited to be entering this huge world of blogging that I have prided myself in not joinging for so long! I'm actually looking forward to what will come out of my page; I feel so modern and technologically savvy now.. kind of like Carrie Bradshaw minus the sex column. Anyway, in case you are wondering, my blog name came from my dad who called me Fifi Lazonga when I was little whenever and I would dance and show out for anyone who would listen long enough (Is it obvious that I am an only child?!) So, when trying to brainstorm for this name, which did drive me nuts for a bit, I came upon Fifi Lazonga and I thought it would be a perfect stage name for this whole blog biz. Today was the first day of class so not too much drama going on yet, but it's SMU, I'm sure some will circulate soon enough.

Until then,
xoxo Gossip Girl

Sorry I had to do that...I love that show.
