Party. Rock. Anthem.

Forget the zombie apocalypse, this is a party apocalypse - which, frankly, seems much more enjoyable.

Glee Seniors to Graduate

Ryan Murphy, creator of the hit show Glee, has revealed that the cast members who play Seniors on the show will indeed graduate next Spring.


This has caused a bit of an outrage because those set to graduate are some of the main characters - Finn, Rachel, Quinn, and Puck.  Personally, I commend Mr. Murphy for having the courage to do something different.

In all reality, just because they graduate doesn't mean these characters won't be popping back into McKinley High (April Rhodes comes back frequently, and she graduated almost a decade before these kids).  Puck isn't the brightest bulb, so who knows if he'll even graduate?  And you know Rachel will be back trying to coach the Glee Club just like her ex-boyfriend.  Finn seems like the kind of dude who will just hang out - become a townie, if you will.  So that leaves Quinn, the only character I believe might actually graduate and move on with her life.

Who knows what the makers of Glee have in store for us during the upcoming Season 3, but I must admit that it's Season 4 that I'm excited about.

5 MORE DAYS!

In honor of the upcoming Season 4 premier of True Blood this Sunday, here's one of my favorite promos that HBO put out this Spring as a teaser.  As an avid reader of the Sookie Stackhouse books that this series is based on, I can promise that this season will be even better than the last.

Let's face it - every single character on this show is just plain sexy and this video only proves it.  I mean, helloooooo Eric and Alcide.

Thankfully there's only a few more days until this #tbwithdrawal is over!

Adele Ordered to Stop Singing

....for a least one month.


Adele has been told by doctors to avoid singing, or even talking, for a least a month.  Her ordered silence is another attempt to help the singer heal her voice after an extreme case of laryngitis.

This comes at just about the worst time, as Adele was forced to cancel the North American tour for her newest album 21, which has been at the top of Billboard charts for months.

As a huge fan, I hope Adele is able to fully recover - and soon.  Here's to hoping she can give up the nasty smoking habit and get the amount of rest that she needs.

Remembering Ryan Dunn

As many people know, Jackass star Ryan Dunn passed away in a horrific car crash yesterday morning.  The 34 year old was one of my favorites on the show, so I decided to pay tribute to him with the video below - which is full of great pictures and clips. 

Fellow Jackass star Johnny Knoxville released a statement saying,

     "Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie."

Clearly the Jackass brotherhood will never be the same.  RIP Ryan Dunn.

Can Minnesota be Next?

Pennsylvania has wine vending machines!

 

All you have to do is swipe your driver's license, blow into a breathalyzer, look into a camera and - BOOM - you're ready to buy some wine.  I want one.

Time-Waster of the Day


Most of us know what it's like to live in an apartment or duplex with annoying neighbors, but this guy really drew the short straw.  Dear Girls Above Me is one annoyed neighbor's documentation of the stupid things that the two girls who moved in above him have to say about life, love, and everything in between.

The Funniest Thing I have Seen a Dog do....

I currently stumbled upon this video and could not stop laughing. This is exactly what would go through a dog's mind in this situation.

Watch and Enjoy....

And the Winner Is...

SOUL DADDY!



On Sunday night, Jamawn Woods was announced the winner of America's Next Great Restaurant.  Soul Daddy was open for business at the Mall of America the next morning and you better believe I was there to check it out.

First of all, since it was the opening day I expected a long line and wait, which couldn't be further from the truth.  Although I didn't get there until 2:30 pm, there was no line and only a few people eating in the restaurant.  After struggling my way through the service line (there were so many things that I wanted to try), I was ready to chow down - and believe me, I was pumped.

To my dismay, the food was nothing special.  I tried the pulled pork sandwich with cheesy grits and black-eyed pea salad and it was good, but nothing spectacular.  I couldn't even finish half of the meal, it was just too much.  My guess is that my expectations were just too high.

I'll be back someday to try something else from the menu, but I sure wish there was some fried chicken.

In a Perfect World..

How It Should Have Ended is a group of animated clips that play out an alternate ending for some of America's favorite movies and TV shows.  So far my favorites have been the ideas for Scream, Lost, and Twilight but they're all pretty hysterical.

Super Fill-Up


I can't even explain this game without sounding like a total nut job.  All I know is I've spent the better half of this evening playing it.  Just give it a try.

Current Jam

Lately, I have been obsessing over a new artist. Her name is Lykke Li and her sound is amazing. She hails from the great land of Sweden and her sound is a mix between pop and electronic with a mix of indie rock. Her newest album, Wounded Rhymes, has been playing on repeat in my itunes for some time now.





Take a listen to one of her songs here...



SOOKIE!!


The ELEVENTH book in the Sookie Stackhouse series is out today!

He's Been Everywhere, Man


This guy's life is totally rad.  He basically goes all over the world and films himself doing some ridiculous dance so his family and friends can keep track of where he is, or has been.  Judging from the videos, he's been just about everywhere and I'm totally jealous.  By visiting Where the Hell is Matt? you can find his videos and journal entries.  This definitely gives me the travel bug!

 


Current Obsession

I've been listening to The Civil Wars for a while now, but I'm excited that they're finally making their way into the hearts of many more people.  I saw the video for Barton Hollow featured on VH1 today and it made me smile.  This band has band has been heard on Grey's Anatomy and is strongly supported by Taylor Swift.  Check out Barton Hollow below.


And here's another one of my favorites, a cover of The Jackson 5's I Want You Back.


Enjoy, and make sure to give their whole track list a listen here.
