The Comeback

Well folks, I've been gone for a while, but I'm back, and there's SOOO much to talk about---for instance, reasons why people are still SO SLOW in the mornings...(I touched on this before, but it's in full effect now)...I mean, seriously, don't you have to get to work? Move up the damn stairs! That sound you hear is two things: the train that we're about to miss because of your slow butt, and it's also my foot about to kick you down the stairs! Go! Anyhoo, other things to talk about, like, how Bruce Willis is like 60, and still hot (props to Lindsay Lo for tapping that). Maybe Lindsay's spiral down Drew Barrymore lane at the cross-section of Robert Downey Jr. Avenue---why men are into anal sex, and what that's about...even the condom/balloon perched on the handle bar across from me that promotes safe sex (seriously, the sentence "Have safe sex"is written on said condom/balloon in either lipstick or a sharpie)...but I want to talk about something that I've been seeing in this non-season between summer and fall when fashion looks confused and the city is running rampant with fashion victims.

I want to talk about comebacks...what is going on? Britney, 50, Kanye, the Primetime Fall lineup, leggings. Everything is coming back this fall, or at least making an attempt. Even Shar Jackson found herself in a couple of the gossip rags...seriously-- the last thing Shar Jackson did was pop out one of K-Fed's illegitimate kids. Is there anything wrong with that? No. I'm a bastardo baby myself. But, really, she should just be stripped of any celeb "status". No one cares about Shar Jackson's input on, well, anything...I bet half of you reading this don't even know her...so, I'm moving on to other things. Like, Britney, but just for a moment. Still reeling from her catastrophe also known as the opening "performance" at the so-called "award show" also known as the VMAs. The weave, the "dancing", the lip syncing-- it was all so so so atrocious. And what was with Sarah Silverman? I mean, it's one thing to poke fun at people when you bring it full circle, and, um you're famous. Sarah Silverman isn't really funny, and she's not that famous either. It's almost sad that the most famous Sarah Silverman will ever be is for schtupping Jimmy Kimmel, and being the princess of the now flailing Comedy Central.

Ah, that brings us to the thing that has been kind of bugging me. Justin Timberlake. Yeah, I know-- he brought sexyback, in the form of three-piece suits and vans, or whatever over-priced sneaker he wears with the aforementioned attire. His new restaurant, Southern Hospitality is, well- how should I put this-- blech. His clothing line, William Rast, is over-priced...seriously-- do you really see him in the middle of it, planning out looks for fall and spring, and color schemes and measurements and whatnot? I think not. To be honest, I'm kind of over him. Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Diaz- who cares. His record was a hit because of Timberland...don't believe me? Case in point; Robin Thicke. Robin has that same falsetto, white guy who's cool and is all about being on Hot 97, with a suit and sneakers. Listen to the albums-- both good in their own right, with one small exception- Justin is the apparent golden child. All I'm saying, is they are the same person, and since Robin wasn't in a boy band, wearing shiny metallic suits, and sleeping with Britney Spears pre-spaced out looking dirty kids and a shaved head, he should be in the spotlight. Really, this just screams to the importance of having great producers....poor Robin. Maybe the next album. Well, it's past my bedtime, kiddies-- but I'll leave you with these 2 nuggets; JC Chasez (the better singer in N*Sync, who seems to have the worst songwriting and producing skills ever) is producing a track for the new Backstreet Boys album, titled "Unbreakable". Yeah, I said it- Backstreet Boys and new album in the same sentence, and that guy from Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz...um, well he's apparently a designer now. He's doing a line under DKNY, that no doubt, will be many unaffordable dollars...his muse? Ashley Simpson...ugh. Discuss among yourselves. Until next week-- That's all folks!
