Katniss & President Barbie Dolls
I used to be an avid doll collector. Somehow along the way I grew up? Umm, not really. Along the way I decided I should save my money, HAHA. Collectible Dolls are like $40-$60 a piece, $30 if you’re lucky, and $25 for random dolls, $18.99 if they’re on sale. I used to have the complete Disney Princesses dolls too but situation got tough years ago so I had to sell them on Ebay. I still have a couple of Disney Princesses Christmas dolls though, thank goodness. Marilyn Monroe, Lucy, and some Victorian Ladies are now in my daughter’s toy bin. I held on to them for as long as I could but any Mother of a toddler knows that it’s hard to fight a little girl who wants to play with dolls. At some point, I said, “Why are they in the box anyway? Just let your daughter play with them, it’s not going to kill anybody so get over it.” THERE!
Then a week or so ago, I saw in my Facebook timeline the Toy Xplosion post on I Can Be President Barbie Doll. The inner child/doll collector within me got excited.
I mean look at that pink suit! Somehow, someday, I will have this doll.
Rest In Peace, Whitney Houston
You will be missed. Sing with the Angels!
L.U.V Madonna
Queen Madonna is the one I’m looking forward to on Super Bowl Sunday, plus the commercials, and hot wings! Go Giants! Hahahaha 
Kelly Clarkson’s STRONGER
STRONGER is one of the songs I love from Kelly Clarkson’s new album. Actually, I love all of the songs in the album. Here she is singing STRONGER live in London.
NaBloPoMo Day 3 : Listening To Music While Writing
NaBloPoMo gives out daily writing prompts which helps out a lot when thinking about what to write on a daily basis. For day 3 the prompt asks: Can you listen to music and write? What song did you hear today?
My answer is YES.
Music is my buddy when I find myself needing to meet deadlines or concentrate on writing for a few hours. I even sing along as loud as I can while thoughts are running in my head and my fingers are busy tapping away at the keyboard.
I didn’t listen to any songs today though but Kelly Clarkson’s new album is in the CD player right now which I listened to on repeat last week while doing some work.
Before Kelly Clarkson, the CDs on rotation were from Bruno Mars, Norah Jones, Adele, Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga. Sometimes I would just tune in to the music channels on Direct TV. I like to listen to Top 40 songs, sing along and sometimes shake my booty albeit sitting down. How I do that, I don’t know. I just do.
It’s a good thing that my husband’s office is located in our bedroom so he doesn’t have to listen to the pop music when he’s doing his own thing.
Chris Martin Talks About Gwyneth Paltrow
In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin gushed over his wife Gwyneth Paltrow. He revealed in the interview that Gwyneth was the first woman who captured his heart. In a self-deprecating manner, he said he went from loser to being married to Gwyneth. Awwwww, isn’t he just too cute and gosh darn it, so in love with his wife? I think they’re a cute couple and seem to be having a great marriage so KUDOS to them. Watch the video below..
3rd Divorce Ain’t Gonna Keep JLO Down
Heck No! this is Jennifer Lopez‘s 3rd divorce so she’s used to it by now. And she’s showing it too by partying it up and performing her 25-minute set in Las Vegas this past Saturday. Whuuut? Did you really think JLO would just sit in her huge house, count her shoes, admire her wardrobe, then cry herself to sleep? C’mon now, she’s got twin kids to take care of. She’s also back to work for American Idol’s next installment of auditions. Co-AI judge Randy Jackson is giving all the support and says they have JLO’s back.
We’ve been doing auditions and she’s rising above,” Lopez’s fellow judge Randy Jackson, 55, told PEOPLE Saturday at Las Vegas’s iHeartRadio Music Festival, where both he and Lopez performed. “She’s strong, she’s a trooper, she’s a great girl. She’s amazing.”
On Saturday, though, Lopez, 42, did what she does best: performing. During her 25-minute set, Lopez seemed energetic, jumping around the stage with her dancers and singing a medley of her hits.
“I don’t want to see anyone trying to act cool around here,” she told the crowd. “I want to see you dancing and jumping and singing and acting like a fool.”
It certainly seems as though Lopez, who let loose later that night at Pure nightclub, is, indeed, enjoying the single life. But if she ever needs anything, Jackson said the Idol family always has her back.
“Whatever help we need to give, we’ll give her,” he said. (source)
Awww, how sweet. Gotta give credit where credit is due. JLO knows how to party and she sure looks good.

Not Everyone Wants To See Rihanna’s Ta-Tas
Just because Rihanna feels no inhibitions in showing her fabulous almost naked body, practically everyday, in music videos or not, doesn’t mean everyone wants to see ALL OF MS. RIHANNA . An Irish farmer gave Rihanna and her production crew the permission to shoot her new video in his farm but he laid down the law when he saw what Rihanna was wearing.
An Irish farmer who had given Rihanna permission to use his grain field to film her new music video shut down the production on Monday and chastised the pop singer for her “inappropriate” wardrobe.
Rihanna, 23, was dancing in a red handkerchief bikini when Alan Graham, 61, noticed her and drove over in his tractor to put a stop to things.
“I have an ethos and I felt it was inappropriate,” Graham told the BBC. “I requested them to stop and they did.”
Graham said he granted permission for Rihanna and her film crew to use his field even though he wasn’t familiar with the often scantily-clad Grammy winner, whose hits include “S&M” and “Disturbia.”
The shoot, for Rihanna’s new single “We Found Love,” has resumed in a different location, according to reports.
The two parted on good terms, according to Graham, shaking hands as he went on his way.
“I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends,” he said later. “Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God.” (source)
Yah know, it’s his farm, his rules. It’s obvious there was no binding contract that would give Rihanna and her crew the legal right to fight for the shoot in the field however bodily state Rihanna wants for her musical artistry’s sake *ahem*. Major props to the Irish Farmer for standing up for his beliefs and his farm.
That aside, what look does Rihanna wants in the video anyway? Warm summery in a 2-piece bikini or the long sleeves flannel floor-length cover-up in the middle of that hay field. She needs to make up her mind.
