Sometimes MTV has a Video Music Awards Show...

...even though MTV hasn't played a music video since The Real World began its reign of terror (and STDs). Come to think of it, VMA kind of sounds like a disease...

MTV's Video Music Awards aired last night live from Radio City Music Hall. Thank goodness! I've got plenty of material to make my first week back to blogging so much easier!

It's almost too easy.

Should I start with the most obvious target of the night? Lady Gaga. I've said it before and I'll say it again, that girl is a freak. And not freaky, like let's get it on freaky. I mean, she is a weirdo. But of course, she chooses to act the way she does. My conclusion after watching her die on stage last night was this: I think I might actually be afraid of her. Does she ever just let down her hair (if she has any...I've only ever seen her in wigs), go back to whatever planet (or state) she's from, eat pizza (instead of human brains) and watch Gossip Girl (or reruns of Roseanne) like the rest of us? Or is she constantly trying to hide her face (she wears a lot of sparkles/feathers/bird's nests as a means of distraction from what seems to be a rather large nose)? I'm being harsh. She's a person too, I think. By the end of the night, she had changed her clothes at least 16 times and made Michael Jackson look like a regular ol' guy. Seriously, what was the nest she had around her face? If that's fashion, count me out. Even Tracy Morgan was afraid of her. And he's mentally insane. Put Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga next to each other and Taylor looks celestial.

Poor Taylor Swift. Kanye West had to steal her thunder. Actually, I take it back. This could perhaps be the greatest thing that's ever happened to Taylor's career. The whole country is on her side. And Kanye, well, George Bush hates black people and Kanye West hates country music. Hates country music but loves attention...turns out he was booked as Leno's guest on Leno's first episode of his primetime talk show. Cause a stir, gets lots of publicity and then make an appearance on a show that desperately needs ratings. Kanye, it's all very suspicious...VERY suspicious.

Madonna tried to make me feel bad about thinking MJ was strange. He was weird. He was talented and bizarre. So he had a weird and difficult childhood. So did I. So did everyone. Hard things happen...that doesn't mean you can cut off your face, become a prescription drug addict and pretend you're 10 forever. Don't get me wrong, I love MJ's music and his dancing...but I refuse to let Madonna preach to me about anything unless, of course, she has me in a choke hold.

There were a million other things that happened last night but I really couldn't watch the entire show. I saw snippets here and there but realized that at 23, I'm just too old for it all.

By the way, Russell Brand looked as smelly as ever, don't you think?

Happy post VMA day!

Love,
Jenna

Sometimes musical numbers...

...go terribly terribly wrong. GLEE...you broke my heart last night! That was a terrible episode. A terrible come back. I'm distraught.

I'm sorry that I recommended that show...please forgive me. Though I'm willing to give it another chance.

But if next week's episode is like last night's train wreck, count me out. It's a shame. I love singing and dancing too much for this.

Love,
Jenna

Happy 09/09/09

I'm exhausted. But I'm back from a two week vacation and ready to blog again.

I spent my vacation in Utah and California. Which was fantastic. Did I mention how exhausted I am?

Well in any case, it was worth it.

I managed to completely avoid the news for two weeks. I barely have any idea what is going on in the world. Yippee! Ignorance is bliss. It absolutely is. Smart and informed people have no idea what they're missing.

There is one thing I know: I know that GLEE is premiering tonight!

If you missed the first episode of Glee, which aired last spring, watch it on Hulu.com NOW!

If you don't have time to watch the entire episode, here is a trailer that pretty much sums up everything you need to know. Really, it's quite comprehensive:



Make sure you watch it because tonight is the second episode and you don't want to be confused do you?

Now that you're ready to watch Glee, we can continue this blogger reader friendship we have going on here.

What else has been happening? Obama's corrupting our youth by telling them to go to school and work hard. MJ was FINALLY buried. Phew! And I think we all learned that we should pay more attention to who our neighbors hold hostage in their backyard.

Man, I've got to get back into this blogging thing. But I'm tired of the same old, same old blog. She needs a makeover, don't you think? I have some new ideas, posts, colors, fun stuff that I'm working on. Any ideas? In the meantime, somebody call 911...because there's a shorty fire burning on the dance floor!

Anybody want to debate Health Care?

I used to be Love drunk but now I'm hungover,
Jenna

BUT I'LL BE BACK BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

BTWITIAILWU!

Sometimes I think I'm talented...

Jenna Kim's Fake Rumors 8/17/09

The KKKKKKK (How many Kardashian's are there?):  The Kardashian's latest reality program, "Kourtney and Khloe take Miami," premiered last night. It was too much. Too much Khloe. Too much Kourtney. Too much skin, hair and whine. It totally ruined my appetite. 

Perv-Stache:  Michael Phelps grew a moustache and now he looks like a guy who spends a lot of time on myspace. He better  be careful, that little bit of facial hair might slow him down, though I'm pretty sure it's fake because I don't think fish can grow hair.  

Joe Jacked-up-on-crazy-son:  First of all, let me say, Michael Jackson still hasn't been buried.  They are waiting to put him in the ground on his 51st birthday. Why?  Because the Jackson's are weird.  Second, Joe Jackson is an idiot.  Last week, Latoya Jackson may have mentioned something about taking Neverland to Las Vegas and making it a tourist attraction.  Joe Jackson put those rumors to rest when he said that would not happen.  He said quote, "How would they do that?"  Joe isn't moving Neverland to Las Vegas because it would be weird or creepy or because they only want to remember Michael Jackson for his music and not for his love of little boys but because logistically, he doesn't see how it's possible.  That man is so out of his mind.  I can see his mind reeling, "How would they move it?  Do you think they are going to move the land it's built on as well.  How will they move Neverland Ranch, the entire piece of Santa Barbara county to another state?  That just seems like it's impossible. You can't just move land. Or can you?  How much money would it take and make...I wish Michael were here. I'd take out this confusion on his face."  

No, You're Racist:  Geico pulled advertising from the Glenn Beck show after Mr. Beck claimed that Obama is racist. Cavemen are now angry that Geico doesn't acknowledge Cavemen as a race because we all know Geico thinks cavemen are stupid and inferior. They've been saying it for years.  ABC tried to make a sitcom out of it.  The ad campaign will never end.  Blah, blah, blah...cavemen, cavemen, cavemen.

And come on Glenn, really?  Trust me, Obama isn't racist, he loves black people.  

Love,
Jenna

Mid Week Pop Music Pick Me Up 8/12/09

This week, I'm thrilled to talk about the Jonas Brothers of the 90's, the one, the only, Hanson!


The only major difference between The Jonas Brothers and Hanson are their jeans. The Jonas Brothers wouldn't be caught dead wearing in pants with that much sag. Check it out in the single that launched Hanson's career, Mmmbop!

Seriously, the Jonas Brothers should be grateful for these older brothers singing their prepubescent voices out. Unfortunately, Disney Channel wasn't obsessed with teenage pop stars like they are now and Hanson's career wasn't quite as domineering as the JoBros. Don't worry, they still sing together. Just a year ago, they were touring around the US, refusing to sing their hit Mmmbop. Fans were angry but hey, I get it. That song requires the vocal range of Whitney Houston before crack. Even the Chipmunks have a hard time. I know. Because they told me. Yeah, I'm friends with the Chipmunks. Jealous?

My favorite Hanson song? Well to be perfectly honest, I have only ever listened to about four of them. One of those four songs keeps popping up on my ipod and I catch myself tapping my toes and singing along. It's catchy, okay! Enjoy, This Time Around. (This song is obviously from one of their later albums because they are a little more grown up and like, uh, super hot.)

Here's what Hanson looks like this time around...

Mmmmmmbop! Am I right ladies?

Uh oh, I think I like Hanson again. They remind me of Jonathan Taylor Thomas which is NEVER a bad thing. What the heck happened to that boy?

Love,
Jenna

Jenna Kim's Fake Rumors 8/10/09

Never trust your hair dresser: I went in for a trim and came out looking like Kate Gosselin. Now I know why she's always in such a bad mood.

Straight Up...or Down: Now that Paula Abdul is out of American Idol, Dancing with the Stars is trying to recruit her...to be a contestant...which might be pretty exciting considering she'll probably pass out more often than Marie Osmond. My only concern: she's so used to judging, she'll critique the judges critiques and by critique, of course, I mean incoherently comment on their wardrobe. I wonder how many years it took Paula to learn how to speak Crazy. I heard that Posh Spice is stepping in for Paula on American Idol? So basically, FOX still wanted crazy but they wanted crazy to come with an accent.

XOXO: Tyra and Hillary Duff have both been seen at different times on the set of Gossip Girl recently. I had no idea GG was THAT desperate. Who's next? Dustin Diamond? Donny Osmond? David Hasselhoff? Daisy from Daisy of Love? Gossip Girl, I feel like I don't even know you anymore!

Hurts So Good: Joe Jonas is single again. I'm going to use him to get closer to his younger brother, Nick. Just call me Jenna Cougar.

Love,
Jenna Jonas, I mean, Jones

Happy August?

I'm sorry that I haven't blogged this week. Don't worry, I will make it up to you, I promise. Over the past few days, I've been overwhelmed, under the weather and to make it even worse, John Hughes passed away today.

John who, you say? John Hughes, the master writer and director of every good movies in the 80's, had a heart attack this morning. I am more upset by this than Michael Jackson's death.

He was such a great writer! And he made our childhood so much fun! Home Alone, The Breakfast Club, European Vacation, The Great Outdoors, Sixteen Candles, Mr. Mom. Dennis the Mennis??? Without that movie, I would never be able to look anyone in the eyes cross-eyed and say, "Uh Apple." (Only my family and a few friends will understand what I'm talking about unless you've seen the movie and already know the reference. If we ever meet or speak in person, I'll show you.)

Anyway, here are my favorite lines from the movie Uncle Buck in a scene between John Candy and Maculay Culkin:

Miles: Where do you live?
Buck: In the city.
Miles: You have a house?
Buck: Apartment.
Miles: Own or rent?
Buck: Rent.
Miles: What do you do for a living?
Buck: Lots of things.
Miles: Where's your office?
Buck: I don't have one.
Miles: How come?
Buck: I don't need one.
Miles: Where's your wife?
Buck: Don't have one.
Miles: How come?
Buck: It's a long story.
Miles: You have kids?
Buck: No I don't.
Miles: How come?
Buck: It's an even longer story.
Miles: Are you my Dad's brother?
Buck: What's your record for consecutive questions asked?
Miles: 38.
Buck: I'm your Dad's brother alright.
Miles: You have much more hair in your nose than my Dad.
Buck: How nice of you to notice.
Miles: I'm a kid - that's my job.

Amazing.

Thanks, John. I'm watching The Breakfast Club this weekend! Who's with me?!?

Love,
Jenna
