RANDOM interruption in regularly scheduled blogging
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???
I mean this is the craziest ish I have seen in a long time.
I don't even know what's going on.
And I was scared. I couldn't even watch the whole thing.
What was with the POWDER?
And did she really just give BIRTH to doll babies?
(Also why are her doll babies not creepy like her too?)
I DID NOT see that one coming!!
100,000 points for anyone who either a) watches the whole thing and tell me what happened (cuz I can't do it, or b) tell me if you were as frightened as I was.

For the Love of TV: Introduction
So two things you should know about me if you don't already:
1) I LOVE TELEVISION.
Like seriously. Notice I did not write, "I like to watch TV." or "I love watching my favorite television shows." It goes deeper than that. I like the art of television. Dialogue, character placement, setting, plot, the turn of a phrase, comedic timing. There's bad television, good television and GREAT television. (And then there's the stuff that's so bad, it's good. And no, I'm not talking about reality TV. Reality TV is always bad. Or rather, I've never watched a reality TV show that didn't want to make me turn it off at some point because of it's sheer stupidity.)
2) I love, love love love, love when fiction makes me want to believe its real. In other words, the best books, the best films, the best TELEVISION will leave me wanting to live, work, eat and sleep in whatever world the writer has provided.
Now, of course this happens in varying degrees--not all works of art are created equal-- but for the most part, I can see the appeal in almost any television show. And sometimes, I can even tell if that appeal will make the show a hit or a miss.
So, for those of you who read my weekly? ramblings, I'm going to pretend that I have my dream job (at least at the moment) for the next few weeks and talk about one of my passions: GREAT TELEVISION.
Now to talk about great television, one must also talk about bad television, so you'll great a glimpse at both ends of the spectrum, and hopefully, some stuff in between. So, if you love TV like I do, or even, as one friend of mine put it, "tolerate it despite the drivel that it is," hopefully you'll find these posts interesting.
NOTE: I'm totally up for ideas as well! Any television show you want me to review? Any character you want me to analyze? Or wonder if I'd date? (LOL) Let me know IN THE COMMENT SECTION. (Love you Dwayne!)
Ta Ta for now!

Hotness in Celebrity Form - Gay Edition
First things first:
10,000 points to Dwayne for facebooking me to say he liked the last post.
1,000,000 points for Dan for writing commenting and guessing at the place. It doesn't exist right now, but someday it will :) If you want more details than that, message me on Facebook.
________________________________________________
Now for the new stuff :)
RANDOM POST, I KNOW.
And mainly for the ladies and/or gay men (if there are any?) who read this blog.
It's just that lately, I've been noticing that more and more Hollywood/celeb men have been coming out of the closet... and all of them (well, most of them) are HOTT. So what's a girl to do when she finds out the celeb she's been crushing on is G-A-Y? Well, she could get sad all by herself (not gonna lie, I was sad about Matt Bomer) or she could write a little blog about their awesome accomplishments and post their hott pictures so other girls can feel her pain.
So here's a (short) list of some of the attractive gay men in the spotlight. And gay men, feel the pain too. Some have partners (P)and others are only rumored to be gay (R). At least we still get to look!
JOHN BARROWMAN (P) - Actor, 43, Scottish-American. Most known for his role as Captain Jack Harkness on BBC's Dr. Who and Torchwood. Was considered for the role of Will on NBC's Will & Grace, but was deemed "too straight" (go figure). Most recently, he appeared as a love interest on ABC's Desperate Housewives and word is that he might appear on an episode of Fox's Glee! For those of you who like Sci-Fi (i.e. are a nerd like I am)Torchwood's due back on Starz this summer (July)! Awesome show, check it out!
NEIL PATRICK HARRIS (P) - Actor, 37, American. Most known for his title role as child prodigy-doctor in ABC's Doogie Howser, M.D and womanizing Barney Stinson in CBS's How I Met Your Mother. (Side Note: How I Met Your Mother is quite possibly the funniest sitcom on television right now. If you haven't heard about this show, Google it. NOW. Or you could wait on my write-up on it, as it is most definitely GREAT television and will be part of my "For the Love of TV" series. Either way, you will eventually learn of the greatness that is this show and NPH's character.)Won an Emmy for his performance in Fox's Glee.
ANDERSON COOPER (R)- Journalist, Author, 43, American. Majored in Political Science and International Relations at Yale University, interned at the CIA for two summers, and although he has no formal journalistic training, he continues to host a CNN news show, Anderson Cooper 360 while concurrently corresponding for CBS's 60 Minutes. Starting in September 2011, he will also host a nationally syndicated talk-show, Anderson for Warner Brothers. (Interesting to note: His mother is Heiress Gloria Vanderbilt of the New York Vanderbilts' or more commonly known, like the blue jeans.)
TOM FORD (P) - Fashion Designer, Film Director, 49, American. Most known for his turnaround of the Gucci fashion house and the creation of his eponymous label. Attended Bard's College at Simon's Rock, NYU and The New School, and graduated from the latter with a degree in architecture. Has worked for Cathy Hardwick, Perry Ellis, Gucci and when they aquired it, creative director of Yves Saint Laurent. Owns production company FADE TO BLACK, and directed his first film, A Single Man (2009) starring Colin Firth and Julianne Moore.
DAVID BROMSTAD - Designer, 37, American. Winner of 2006 (debut season) of HGTV's Design Star. Attended Ringling College of Art and Design before working as a Disney illustrator. Started his own company Bromstad Studio, which designs fantasy bedrooms for children. In keeping with the prize for winning Design Star, his show Color Splash debuted in 2007. In 2010, Color Splash relocated to Miami, FL.
MATTHEW BOMER (R,P) - Actor, 33, American. Best known for his role as Neal Caffrey in USA's White Collar and his recurring role as Bryce Larkin in NEC's Chuck. Went to high school with fellow actor Lee Pace and attended Carnegie Mellon University. Also starred in the first season of Fox's Tru Calling. (Another side note: White Collar is another one of those good TV shows I keep telling you guys about. Just take my word for it and watch it.)
LUKE MACFARLANE (P?)- Actor, Musician, 31, Canadian. Most known for his role as Scotty Wandell in ABC's Brother's & Sisters. Attended Juilliard. Also starred in FX's short-lived series Over There about the conflict in Iraq. Plays classical cello and trumpet. (Interesting side note: It is rumored that he is currently dating WENTWORTH MILLER, the fine man pictured below. Now I'm not sure how true this is (Wentworth has had a few documented girlfriends and no documented boyfriends), but if it is true, I will say this: If two men could have babies, theirs would be so attractive, I'd betroth my daughter-- sans l'hésitation.
(WRITING THIS BLOG TOOK FOREVER. I'M TALKING HOURS.)
A MILLION points to whoever picks my new (straight!) celebrity crush and 100,000 points to those who post their own celeb crushes in the comment section.
And because people do comment every once in a while, I think I might start keeping track of these points and who knows... I might start giving prizes!
P.S. So, men of color are absent. I realize that. Not because they aren't hott, but because I couldn't really find any that were gay and hott. Sorry about that.
