Even though Eminem was the opening act of the show, girl power dominated this year’s MTV Video Music awards. Maybe that’s why Eminem had to sing and leave. He knew that it was ladies’ night at the VMAs. His duet with Rihanna was great. They look good together on stage. I’m loving RiRi’s new hair! Girl power FTW!
Chelsea Handler hosted this year’s show and she was hilarious! It was the first time in 16 years when a woman hosted the VMAs. Before getting on stage, the comedian had her ass slapped by a lot of men and…Lindsay Lohan. I know! Who? Linds told her to watch her drinking. Yeah, that is a cameo we would all love to forget. Chelsea made an entrance that was inspired by Lady Gaga, but the gig didn’t go past the Ra-Ra-Ra from “Bad Romance”, because that’s all they got to in reherlals. This year’s VMA host paid a tribute, more or less, to Lady Gaga by dressing up as crazy as she could. She had a house on her head and a dove flying out of her crotch. I thought it was Lady Gaga herself the whole performance, but the house’s garage door made things clear for everyone.
What post 2009 VMA show would be complete without a Kanye West refferal? Chelsea gave a random person the “My award-My choice” as a demonstration to what artists accepting the VMAs should do if someone would interrupt their speech. And on with the show…
Ellen DeGeneres gave a funny mini-speech before announcing the nominees for Best Female Video. It’s like she had to remind everyone of how awesome she is! Lady Gaga won the first award of the night for Best Female Video for “Bad Romance”. In her acceptance speech she told her fans that they were “the cool kids at the party”. The Monster Mommy was wearing Alexander McQueen, to pay a tribute to the deceased designer. Lady Gaga’s speech was nice, but I could’t help but noticing the look on Katy Perry’s face when she lost an award to one of her rivals. Her expression was like “You may have won this one, bitch, but the rest are mine!”. If Katy only knew…
Justin Bieber’s performance was announced by one of his biggest fans, Kim Kardashian, who remembered she had a restraining order to keep away from him. Her passion for him is creepy, because what straigh woman would go for a 28 year old lesbian? Justin first performed “Baby”, followed by a lip sync fail to “Somebody to love”. Now that’s the moment he should have said “Pink elephant, pink elephant” and nobody would have noticed the boo boo. He then went at the drums and another boo boo was around the corner: he dropped a drumb stick, but not much people seemed to have noticed that.
Justin’s menthor, Usher, had a pink elephant fail during his performance and everyone saw the obvious lip sync and the tired dancing. We gotta give Usher a break, the man is getting old and can’t sing and dance like back in the days when everyone was screaming “Yeah!”.
The cast of Glee presented the nominees for Best Pop Video and I loved it when Jane Lynch said Keisha instead of Ke$ha. It’s the girl’s fault for having a misleading name. That’s why she should call herself Ke-dollar sign-HA. Props to Michael Buckley for that idea! Lady Gaga won the award for “Bad Romance”. Katy Perry looked pissed again and she seemed to have told the person next to her “That Gaga bitch beat me again! She needs to die!”. Relax, Katy! You didn’t get a moon man this year, but you met your dream man last year. It’s a win-win situation for both of you gals!
One of the most anticipated performances of the evening, Taylor Swift sang a song about the Kanye incident from last year, “I guess you really did it this time”: “Lost your balance on the tight rope/it’s never too late to get it back… Today is never too late to be brand new… Every one of us has messed up too. I hope you remember today’s never too late…to be friends with you….You’re still an innocent.” A whole song dedicated to an idiot that did something bad to you? Come on, Taylor, you can do better than that! Actually, no, because that’s your whole song writing purpose: to sing about men that did you wrong. This performance was too deep for the VMAs. We should all forgive and forget. It’s been a year already! Get over it, Taylor!
In the skit for Best New Artist In a Video, Chelsea Handler chases Justin Bieber for his hair, thinking it’s a wig and he’s like “Weren’t you my baby sitter?”. Justin is hilarious! He thinks that every 30+ year old woman was his baby sitter once.
The douchebags from The Jersey Shore were on stage in a hot tub and Snooki dared Chelsea to join them by calling her “Bitch”. Very classy of our Snooks, for sure! The moment Chelsea got in the tub, The Situation made one of his mind blowing remarqes: “We got a Situation!”. It’s like that’s the most interesting thing he can say. It’s gotta be sad to be so limited. The funny part was when Chelsea got out of the hot tub with a big fake belly, suggesting she was pregnant. Again, “We got a Situation!”…It was annoying 5 minutes ago! Now someone has to shoot this guy!
B.O.B. had a great performance with Haley Williams and Bruno Mars and Haley sang “Only Exception”. I loved how one song went into the other. Pefect mash-up! It was a shame they didn’t win anything, hence the many nominations.
The winner for Best New Artist in a Video went to Justin Bieber who couldn’t find the stage and he looked like my cat when I hide his toy frog! Justin Bieber has comedy potential so, Disney, hit him up! Nobody threw a water bottle…boring!
Cher announced the winner for Video of The Year in her “If I could turn back time” outfit that now seems ok for MTV. Back when she was young, she was like the Lady Gaga of the MTV stone age. Speaking of Lady Gaga, she won the award for her “Bad Romance” video. She accepted her award wearing a meat dress that PETA isn’t going to be too happy about and asking Cher to hold her meat purse. Indeed, that is an odd request. Lady Gaga said that she was nervous that she would let her fans down if she didn’t win. She revealed the name of her new up-coming record called “Born this way” and immediately bursted into tune “I’m beautiful in my way ’cause God makes no mistakes…”. The acceptance speech was beautiful and she started crying and reminded the fans how much she loves them.
Kanye West wraped up the night with his “Toast for the douchebags”. At first, I thought he was talking about himself, being the self absorbed ass hole that he is. But it seemed that the song was adressed to Taylor Swift. “You’ve been putting up with my s–t for way too long,” he sang to close out the night. “Let’s have a toast for the douchebags/ Let’s have a toast for the a-holes/ Let’s have a toast for the scumbags.” I guess they’re even!
The night had great performances from Eminem, Rihanna, B.O.B, Haley Williams, Bruno Mars, Drake and Mary J. Blige.
Here’s the complete list of winners for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards:
• Video of the Year: “Bad Romance,” Lady Gaga
• Female Video: “Bad Romance,” Lady Gaga
• Male Video: “Not Afraid,” Eminem
• Rock Video: “Kings and Queens,” 30 Seconds to Mars

All in all, the award show should have been called The MTV Gaga Music Awards, because she was the centre of atention tonight! And congratulations to Chelsea Handler for hosting the show! She did a great job! Girl power FTW!
Web Inspiration #1: Michael Buckley June 29, 2010

I’m trying to start a new blog series. I want to focus on the positive parts of life and write about people who inspire me and make me believe I can do more with my life. Of course I might mention a skank or two when they come to my attention, but now it’s time to showcase true talents and inspirations.
I’ve been browsing Youtube for as long as I can remember. I didn’t know that people made skits or actual shows there. I was looking up music videos or pieces of news about celebrities. While looking for some Miley Cyrus buzz, I came across a video with a photo of Miley as a thumbnail. The video was called “Hannah Montana Naughty Shower? Blame Demi Lovato & Selena Gomez!”. I admit it made me curious and I checked it out. I didn’t expect something in particular, but I was amazed at how funny and fast talking a person could be!
Michael Buckley had my attention from his show’s intro that goes like this: “Love you, bitch! I whip it out whenever I can. I don’t even know what that means. WHAT THE BUCK? I had to have it!”. That was hilarious and so original, even though he admitted the “I had to have it” part was from a comercial Sarah Jessica Parker did for a perfume. Still, he is awesome! WHAT THE BUCK SHOW is the most unconventional news show you’ve ever seen but you can’t help but laugh from the bottom of your heart! This 35-year-old entertainment journalist is originary from Conneticut, USA and has been posting Youtube videos since October 2006. First, he posted them on peron75 and from May 1st 2007, he started posting on WHATTHEBUCKSHOW in paralel.
Seeing how talented and funny Buck is, I said “I hade to have it!” and subscribed instantly! Everytime I see a new WHATTHEBUCK video in my subscription box, it’s like an important event which I must attend to! I enjoy his show and every Miley joke is like an early Christmas present! I also love Miley, but I love when I hear funny pieces of news about her! I learned the word “skank” from Buck and I use it with pride!
One of Buck’s best videos was “Lonelygirl15 is dead!”, commenting the fact that the character Bree was killed off in the season finale of the most popular web series back in 2007.
This man has the best lines ever! Some of my favourites include “Well you know how most people just don’t like me? Well I don’t like her! Her eyebrows are too big!”, “But she has a misterious secret: SHE HAS A PENIS!” and “I love you like I wanna take it up the but from you!”. I was speechless! His jokes have me in stiches every time! This man is too funny for Youtube! He should have his own website called Bucktube. That would be just awesome and I would be his number one fan! Not that I’m not that now…
Buck is not only funny, but also very empathic. He has another show on his vlog channel, peron75 that’s called “Dear Buck”. He answers his viewer’s questions and gives advice to those in need. With a Ph.D. in Degrassi, I’m sure he’s more than capable of giving great advice. Those Degrassi kids were really messed up!
Speaking of TV shows, thanks to Michael I started watching Glee, a TV show that made me remember how much I miss high school and how much I love musicals! Thank you, Buck! Glee was amazing! Can’t wait for the new season. I’m sure you’ll keep us posted. Thank you for replying to me on twitter about the show! That made me very happy!
Buck is always smiling and I can’t help but smile along. No matter how bad my day is, a WHATTHEBUCKSHOW episode always makes me forget about the bad things for a few minutes and that means a lot to me! I praise him for doing what he loves and living off this. That’s also my goal in life and I hope to achieve it!
My admiration for Michael Buckley is endless! He’s my source of entertainment and I love his videos! If I ever get the chance to get a career in entertainment journalism, I will always see him as an inspiration!
Chestii nu doar suportabile, ci de-a dreptul adorabile January 23, 2010

Am zis ”Hai să nu mai fiu o plângăcioasă care folosește blogul ca să se descarce de furie și frustrări!”. Cum am scris o listă de chestii pe care nu pot să le suport, pot scrie și o listă cu chestii care îmi fac ziua mai bună.
1. Când Goguleț vine la mâna mea să fie mângâiat. Cum să nu-l iubești?:)
2. Când cineva îmi urează “O zi bună/O seară bună” și chiar o spune pe bune.
3. Când merg pe stradă și am o melodie bună în căști.
4. Când paznicii de la metrou expediază cerșetorii ca să nu mai deranjeze călătorii.
5. Când îl văd pe Vlad zâmbind. Și parcă nu-mi doresc nimic mai mult…:)
6. Când am suficiente dulciuri în casă. Copilul din mine cere ciocolată în fiecare zi!
7. Când o pițipoancă își rupe tocul pe stradă în văzul lumii…(da, stiu, sunt groaznică!)
8. Când am atâta timp la dispoziție…și am timp să fac orice…implicit să dorm.
9. Când cineva mă laudă pentru ceva. Crește sufletul în mine. Nu se pune atunci când mă laud eu…poate pentru că lucrul ăsta nu se întâmplă niciodată…
10. Când am inspirație…pentru un post pe blog, pentru un eseu, pentru un desen…pentru orice.
În linii mari, pot spune că lucrurile simple aduc cel mai plăcut zâmbet pe buze, fie el și unele de genul “ha! ai căzut și ți-ai rupt piciorul!”. Nu se aplică la oricine, evident! Nu sunt atât de crudă…
Off topic: Știu că nu am făcut un review la “New Moon” deși spuneam că o să fac. Ideea e că altcineva a făcut treaba asta înaintea mea și i-a ieșit o treabă impecabilă și teribil de amuzantă! Vă invit să vizionați. Pentru mine, au fost cele mai amuzante 12 minute și ceva din viață!
Omul ăsta e incredibil de amuzant și recomand să-i vedeți canalul de youtube!

My favourite youtubers August 5, 2009

They’re either in my subscription box or I just watch their videos on a regular basis because they really have something interesting to say. Here’s a list of my favourite youtubers in alphabetical order, to be fair.
communitychannel
Natalie Tran is a 23 year old girl who vlogs about random stuff and has an obsession for mums…your mum, my mum, everybody’s mum. I love her accent and the way she looks. I’m sorry she was the first runner-up for Miss Youtube. I hope next year she’ll have the top place.She’s asian, but was born in Sidney. Her sarcasm is one of a kind, even though Buck said she is known to be the unfunny girl on youtube. Dude, leave her alone! She is funny in her own way. I like the fact that her channel is named communitychannel pure and simple. Lack of inspiration doesn’t mean lack of originality. Nat, you rock! Love your videos!
She is just gorgeous! And she wants us to be gorgeous too. She is a fashion guru and her videos are mostly tutorials on how to create our own beauty products, or how to make-up or do our hair. After seeing her tutorials I mostly say to myself: “Why didn’t I think of that thing?”. Michelle’s videos point out that anyone can be beautiful. She is also an artist. Her latest video is her painting a character from a video game she likes. This girl is not only beautifull and wise, but she is also talented. I can’t wait for a new video. It’s a shame she wasn’t even nominated for Miss Youtube. She could have made the top 10 in my book.
I discovered him when watching Michael Buckley’s nominations for Mr. Youtube 2009 and I decided to check out his channel. My first reaction? “Oh, my God! This guy rocks!” He vlogs on different subjects and makes kick-ass parodies that I love to watch again and again. His cats, Muffins and Snoop are famous too. It’s adorable when he includes them from time to time in his videos. I love his “feminine side”, Shanaynay, a former drug addict HIV positive prostitute who makes you laugh with anything she/he/it does. Shane Dawson has great videos and I hope he beats Fred’s subscriptions. He deserves it! And he deserves to be Mr. Youtube!
Gay youtubers are funny, but Buck is hilarious! I love how he makes fun of every celebrity out there and not feel guilty about it. WHATTHEBUCKSHOW wasn’t enough for him, so he created the channels peron75 and bucknews. He calls himself a journalist and that’s where I couldn’t agree more with him. If all TV journalists were more like him, watching the news would be a guilty pleasure. He has an obsession for Miley Cyrus news…but on the other hand, who doesn’t? I love the song he wrote for Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift, “Their”, it makes me laugh so hard. This song should be promoted more! Sha…
So, these are my favourite youtubers. I would have written more about them, but I believe that you should watch their videos instead!
Jonas Brothers do NOT rock! July 27, 2009

When I think of them, Camp Rock isn’t the first thing that pops in my head anymore. Joe Jonas’ dance to Single Ladies by Beyonce takes the lead! Ever since I saw that performance of Joe Jonas, I believe this boyband is a bad joke. I never really was too fond of them. I did like Camp Rock, but maybe because it was a story of a young girl’s dream to become a rockstar. The fact that they rank as the number 1 most subscribed musicians on youtube pisses me off because their songs are awful! I never managed to listen to an entire Jonas Brothers song.Let’s introduce the Jonas’ brother by brother, shall we?
Joe: He’s the most popular of the group. His name is the most shouted in JB concerts and he probably gets the most bras and panties thrown at him on stage. He used to date AJ Michalka of Aly&Aj and Taylor Swift, who continously has on obsession about their 27 second-phone-call breakup. I’m not saying Joe isn’t a jerk, but she really should get over it too. So…27 seconds? You don’t realy waste time or even money, do you? That is unexcusable! He got the most lines in Camp Rock.
Nick: Miley Cyrus’ man! He is believed to be the “7 things” boy Miley was singing about and made almost 100 milion views on youtube for just this video. This curly haired kid doesn’t tell me much. I see him as “Look at me, I’m a Jonas Brother and I’m one of the cutest”. He didn’t get many lines in Camp Rock.
Kevin: He might be the less popular Jonas Brother, he is Michael Buckley’s crush. That is truly priceless!=)) He’s the oldest of the group and…that’s kinda it!He’s the first one to get married. Hurray for that!He wanted a birdhouse in Camp Rock and loved to hug his brothers.He had few lines in Camp Rock.Better luck in Camp Rock 2!
Now seriously, what is it with these guys?Their songs aren’t the gratest, their acting isn’t brilliant…Why are they so loved, so subscribed, so … so….I don’t know!
They don’t rock because they don’t sing rock.They sing pop.So, they pop!
What makes the Jonas Brothers suck superstars? The fact that Nick dated Miley? The fact that Joe din’t fall of high heels? Or because Buck loves Kevin and wishes he’ll marry him?
JB pop!

A-Whole doesn’t mean Ass Hole.It might mean a whole lot of ass.
F-ing is the new fucking.
You can say Sha… to be cooler and to draw attention.
And instead of saying What the fuck, why not say What the Buck?
Sha…
And before saying that he sucks balls, you might wanna know he’s gay and likes it, so it’s common knowledge.
I just wanted to have a reminder and NOT make those mistakes I mentioned.
But I like Miley Cyrus.
I believe Susan Boyle has an OK voice but should stay home and pet her cat.
Demi Lovato is cute and High School Musical 3 is better that Twilight and Camp Rock.
Kevin Jonas isn’t as cute as Joe and Taylor Swift makes a big case of her break-up.
Get over it, girl!
“Single ladies” and “7 things” are f-ing catchy!
Sha…
