Entertainmentoday

So I decided to give in and see what the whole Perez/Will.I.Am. drama was all about.  I started with Perez’s video statement.  I totally agreed with him that “violence is never the answer”.  In the end, a man was assaulted and that is WRONG in every sense of the word.  I also think that anyone who’s willing to give any serious thought to anything that Perez Hilton writes or says, has got to find something better to do with their life.  Imagine my surprise when that someone turned out to be Will.I.Am.

Yes, we are talking about THE Will.I.Am., as in mega-watt producer/lead man of The Black Eyed Peas.  I could understand Will defending his group and/or Fergie against an industry executive or anyone who may have been questioning their integrity as a band, but Perez freakin’ Hilton?  C’mon, Will - you can do SO much better than that!   

Perez claims that it all started with Fergie approaching him not once, but TWICE that day about how she thought ‘things were cool’ between them.  Seriously? The girl is married to the hunky Josh Duhamel (who’s promoting the million dollar Transformers movie as we speak) and is a member of a chart-topping band.  Yet she’s preoccupied about why things aren’t ‘cool’ between her and some blogger?  Note to Fergie: Who Cares?  You’ve got so many great things on your plate right now, so why even waste your breath on this guy?  Trust me when I say that I doubt Perez is losing sleep over whether you approve of his website.  

True, it wasn’t Will that hit Perez - it was the band’s manager “Polo” Molina.  I agree with Perez that someone in management should be more professional, and not running around hitting people.  Then again, you can’t provoke someone and not expect them to act irrationally.  Bottom line is that these are two grown men, who could’ve handled themselves better.  Will should’ve been partying and celebrating that night, but instead he opted to get Perez’s panties in a bind.  Perez claims he was  ’threatened’ by Will’s stance and admitted that he wanted to say something that would set Will off.  In an effort to show he can’t be intimidated, he proceeds to call Will a ‘faggot’ - a word that I believe no one should ever use.  Perez can’t fly his anti-violence flag, yet provoke people in such a way that you know will result in a violent altercation.  And if Will was following Perez around like he made him out to be, then Will can’t act innocent either. Going out of your way to follow someone shows you had intent to cause trouble, too. 

Honestly, I feel like I just broke up two kids from fighting in a playground.  That’s how juvenile this whole situation is turning out to be.  Perez said he “doesn’t need this kind of drama” in his life, but again, you reap what you sow.  I guarantee if you walked up to a complete stranger on the street and called him a ‘faggot’,  that person’s going to give you a reaction that will be violent or extremely unpleasant to say the least.  Hopefully next time, you guys can go to an industry event and celebrate the wonderful lives you lead and not worry about senseless things like name calling and mindless confrontations.

Wow, time flies when you discover Twilight and allow it to consume your life, eh?!  Now that I’ve read the entire saga and gotten over the addiction of having to google Robert Pattinson on a daily basis, I’m now ready to re-enter my short lived blogging career, only this time I’m coming with a bit of Twilight flavor.  Actually, LOTS of flavor.  In other words, if there is nothing that excites or interests me at any given time, you can expect to get some sort of Twilight tidbit on my end.  Not that there isn’t enough Twilight (and soon to be New Moon) madness in the world today, but there are times when I need to do things strictly for my own entertainment.  So beware…. and ENJOY! 

So back in the day, my husband and I used to belong to L.A. Fitness, where every once in a while, my husband would run into Carrot Top getting his workout on.   I thought it was funny when he first mentioned that “Carrot Top is pretty buffed”.  HUH?  Who knew this Ginger Kid (South Park reference for any fans out there!) would not only keep up his workouts throughout his mediocre career, but would be so bold as to take it up a notch?  Yes, it appears that our bushy-headed friend has done a Barry Bonds and juiced up his comedy act big time.  But why bother?  I hate to admit that he is not the most handsome in the bunch, but name one comedian who ranks high in the looks department?  He’s almost unrecognizable, which may hint that he may have gone under the knife.   Did he think that this would toughen his image?  Did he think the chicks would dig it?  Did he think this would open new doors for him?  I just feel that he may have compromised his unique look to become a total freak of nature.  Either way, I think fans may be turned off by his new look.  I know that I’m already finding it harder to look at him!
