Monday Mashup: Victorious Vampires

By Kirsten|March 14th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

The latest US Weekly did a feature called, “What’s in My Bag” featuring Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev. Cute idea, right? Well, here’s the problem… as the Fug Girls so brilliantly pointed out… US Weekly used a picture of Victoria Justice rather than Nina, herself. Whoops! A major blunder by any publishing standards. However, I’m kind of willing to cut them a break… kind of (they are a nationally published CELEBRITY GOSSIP magazine. Should probs get the facts straight, right?). Take a gander at the photo below and you tell me who is who:

(btw- Nina is on the left. Victoria’s on the right).

Why Did You Wear That: 1 + 1 = Reese

By Kirsten|February 28th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

I’ve never been particularly great at math (okay, fine, I was in the gifted program), but this seems like a fairly simple equation for even the least mathematically inclined. I know people were squealing with delight when Reese Witherspoon hit the red carpet in Armani, but I couldn’t help thinking this was something we’d all seen before… Then it hit me… probably kind of like how Einstein felt when he did that whole E=mc^2 thing.

Monday Mashup: XOXO

By Kirsten|February 22nd, 2011|Monday Mashup|

Hey Upper East Siders, this just in. S may very well have her own doppelganger. Seems a certain Aussie actress looks awfully similar to our sweet Serena especially when they strike this “over the shoulder” pose in slinky LBD’s. With the same golden locks, perfectly peachy skin, and ould Teresa Palmer be voted next year’s sexiest woman alive? You be the judge.

Monday Mashup: Grammy Edition x 2

By Kirsten|February 14th, 2011|Monday Mashup, Red Carpet Recap|

Let’s first talk about how obnoxious it was that the West Coast had a delayed viewing of the Grammy’s. I already knew who wore what and who won what before seeing a second of footage. So basically, I watched the Grammy’s twice. This theme carried throughout the entire evening. Seemed that everything was coming in pairs- aka- twice the pain.

The “buzz” for the evening was Lady Gaga arriving to the awards in an egg. Yep, an egg. Apparently, she was “incubating.” I mean… I can’t. I give people credit for being different, but sometimes trying too hard to be “different” merely makes you the same as everyone else. I don’t want to point out the obvious, but that performance by Gaga was pretty reminiscent of a very “materialistic” pop icon who was once known for being “innovative” herself. So, now I turn to you Nicki Minaj. What are you trying to pull? Why must you try so hard to shock us with these crazy get ups? If you’re going to attempt to catch our attention, you’re gonna have to work a wee bit harder when you’ve got Lady Gaga walking the same red carpet as you.

A group of incredibly talented and lovely ladies paid tribute to the amazingly talented Aretha Franklin. While they did a fantastic job rounding up gals with some serious pipes, you can’t help but notice that Christina Aguilera blew them all out of the water. It’s a good thing that Ms. Aguilera is talented because the way she’s been looking lately is just frightening. I can’t help but think she looks a lot like a certain pork filled childhood pal…

Okay, so Snooki will never actually look like JLo. However, Jenny from the Block may want to make sure her stylist isn’t moonlighting as Snooki’s stylist, which is very possible because Snookster looks a lot better than her usual hamster self.

Besties Katy Perry (in Armani) and Rihanna (in Jean Paul Gaultier) opted for white. Both also opted to look like they were wearing costumes. Katy is clearly an angel (see the wings?) and RiRi is most obviously a furry white caterpillar, duh. Guuuuys… this is the GRAMMY’s, not Halloween!

So basically, Natasha Bedingfield is wearing Ciara’s dress pre-run-in with weed wacker.

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just isn’t the same… Give up? Well, everyone here has a talent EXCEPT one. Still stuck?

Oh… well, that’s just awkward.

So, while, I did tune into the Grammy’s this evening, I’m kind of wishing I hadn’t. Lucky for me, I DVR’ed it. So, in reality, I could watch it a third time.

Monday Mashup: Play to Win

By Kirsten|February 7th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

So, as many of you know, this past weekend was the Superbowl (um, go Steelers?). While the Superbowl just used to be something my dad got excited about, it has now turned into yet another opportunity for celebrities to show up at yet another red carpet event and get their pictures taken. I mean, why not?

Leading up to the big game, there were parties galore for these celebs to mix, mingle, and collect more photo credits. Here are two lovely young ladies who did just that:

Brooklyn Decker and Anne Vyalitsyna both attended star studded pre-superbowl festivities with their boos. While they are both leggy blonde models with mega star significant others, one came prepared and the other looked like she didn’t even know she was playing the game (kind of like the Packers and the Steelers). Listen, just cause you’re a supermodel (or you’ve won six Superbowls) doesn’t mean you can just show up and expect to win. Being a winner takes a lot more than just showing up.

I get that Andy and Brooklyn own a residence somewhere in Texas, so perhaps Andy told Brooklyn they were just running out to pick up some wings and beer, but her sequin shorts lead me to believe that she was well aware they were headed somewhere fancy. My point is this: Brooklyn, you are notthatfamous.com to show up at a star studded event looking as if you just awoke from an afternoon nap. Take a note from Anne and step your game up. Steelers, I’m talking to you in riddles.
