The Music Video Awards '07

Let us start with the Worst Videos of the Year...

Runner-up is Mr. Marilyn Manson, with his dodgy video for his dodgy song, Heart-Shaped Glasses!
It's pretty damn graphic, so I'll just supply a link here, if you really want to torture yourself by watching him and his 19-year-old girlfriend do it covered in blood. I say, don't do it to yourself!

And the worst video of the year is...



Outta My Head (Ay Ya Ya) - Ashlee Simpson
Oh, Trashlee. Your music wasn't that bad. But then you have to make a crappy rip-off of Gwen Stefani's What You Waiting For?. Honestly. You're dating Pete Wentz! Fall Out Boy make awesome videos! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!

And now for the big ones, the...

MUSIC VIDEOS OF THE YEAAAARRRR!

The runner-up is..



Guilty Pleasure - Cobra Starship!
This cute music video was homemade by the band's keytarist, Vicky-T.
I can't stop watching it!

And now for the winner...
Drum roll, please...



The Take Over, The Break's Over - Fall Out Boy!
Do I need a reason? I will just say this one word: Hemingway.

Celebrity Profile: Pete Wentz

Welcome to my first celebrity profile!
It's a little weird, actually - I still think of Pete as the bass player in a cool little band from Chicago. But not anymore, I suppose. Anyway, let's get on with the profiling...

Note Before: For those of you who don't know me, I tend to make fun of Pete a bit. Or a lot. But either way, I am a Wentz lover not a Wentz hater, so don't take my snide remarks too seriously.

Full Name: Peter Lewis Kingston Wentz III
AKA: Pete Wentz, Pete, Petey, jerkface (Sorry, the last one's only to me).
D.O.B: June 5 1979 (age 28)
Signifigant Achievements: Plays bass and writes lyrics for punk/pop band Fall Out Boy, owns Clandestine Industries clothing label, bangs Trashlee Ashlee Simpson.
Not-so-signifigant Achievements: "Accidentally" leaking (oh, God, that's an awful word to use in this sentence..) pictures of his privates onto the internet last year, thus making me scared of computers for about a month.
Stalker Rating: Medium to High - 80% of teenage girls would like to have his babies (I am part of the 20%, no offence). Despite this, he is no Justin Timberlake, and generally only has swarms of paparazzi whilst with Ashlee.
"How can I become one of the said stalkers?": Go to www.clandestine.buzznet.com to view his MySpace photos (on Buzznet..), or www.falloutboyrock.com to read his blogs and Q+A sessions, you filthy, filthy whore. He also has a Blogger, but it took me ages to find it and he deleted his last one because it got printed in various magazines. So find it yourself!
Other (un)Nessecary Information:
Pete Wentz has his very own signature bass guitar out. I'm not sure whether the 13 year old girls who buy it can actually play it, though..

CRICKET... =]

Australia vs India.

I already know who will win. 'Cause it is kinda obvious. No offence to the Indians.

Anyway, the cricket is great to watch. Especially when Gilly is on. And Hussey. Oh and Brett Lee.

Oh crap, I forgot about Mitchell Johnson. Argh. He is the best player EVER.

When Australia are bowling, fielding and what not, look at Gilly's gloves. THEY ARE PINK!!! I want them. I also want Gilly to live in my backyard. And when I go out there, I can play with Gilly.

And I want Dale Thomas play with me too. He can sleep in my bed.

Miri: Ewwwwwww, Yuck.

Anyway, Australia OWN at playing cricket. Totally. X]

Miri's Most Favourite Albums EVER

5. American Idiot - Green Day
Personal Favourite Songs: St. Jimmy, Jesus of Suburbia.
I do love concept albums, and this one is one of my favourites. Green Day matured a lot with this album.

4. Riot! - Paramore
Personal Favourite Songs: Born For This, Crushcrushcrush.
Hayley's voice is amazing. This is a powerful album with awesome catchy songs.

3. The Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia..
Personal Favourite Songs: Sex Changes, Sing.
Amanda Palmer is a song writing genius. The songs are unique and brilliant. And I love albums that get the album name from a lyric.

2. From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy
Personal Favourite Songs: XO; Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner; Sugar, We're Going Down.
Let's face it: Pete Wentz is also a lyrical genius. I'm sorry, but it's true. This is the first album I ever brought that I still love now.

1. Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance
Personal Favourite Songs: It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish; Helena; Cemetery Drive.
The ultimate concept album, in my opinion, basically about a man who makes a deal with the devil to bring his girlfriend back to life. He has to kill all these bad people! The great thing is, the songs aren't just written for the concept; they're real - but they're metaphors. Favourite album from my favourite band!

This Just In: Britney Spears Has Lost Her Mind!

Well, we knew that already, but apparantly Britney has now reached a whiole new level of crazy on her wild night out.
That's just part one!
Britney goes on to hook up with a Paparazzo, yell at a someone over the phone, and swear at everyone.
Good times!

Merry Christmas, I could care less.

Actually I love Christmas, but I have been listening to Yule Shot Your Eye Out - Fall Out Boy. Best Christmas song ever!
So whatever you're doing tomorrow, have a good Christmas! And if you're Jewish, have a good day!

EDIT: Happy birthday to the Veronicas, too!

MISERY LOVES.....

YOU! (Only joking..)

I have found three different songs that say, "MISERY LOVES..." in them..

Misery – Good Charlotte

“Don't you know that misery loves company”

When I’m Gone – Simple Plan

“If misery loves company well”

Dance Dance - Fall Out Boy

“If they knew how misery loved me”


The song title is in yellow. And the lyric is in italics.

Do you see any similarities? Make any judgements? Or is it just a coincidence?

Well, my judgement is... *clears throat*

Pierre Bouvier and Joel Madden were having a coffee one day. As both their bands have the same style (i.e. Punk Rock, Pop), they decided to do one song together. Joel said, "Let's each think up one verse..."
Pierre said, "Sure..."

So they each did that. Joel did first verse. Pierre did second verse.
But Joel didn't like Pierre's verse. And vice versa.
So they had an argument and left. They threw the copy of the lyrics in a nearby bin of the cafe.

Pete Wentz rocks up to the same cafe and gets a coffee. He sits down with a pen and paper to write a song.
He wrote down some ideas and then didn't like them anymore. So he went to the bin to throw it away. And what's this? A piece of paper with song ideas in the bin. Pete grabbed it and copied some stuff down.

A week later on April 17th 2006, Dance Dance was released by Fall Out Boy. Joel and Benji Madden heard the song.
"Oh crap. He's got the line 'misery loves' in there. That's what me and Pierre were going to name our song. Argh," said Joel.

Joel grabbed his notebook. He wanted to write a song with 'misery loves' in it too. Just to make Pete Wentz angry. But he couldn't think up a name.

Finally, on October 29th 2007, the song Misery was released by Good Charlotte.

Pierre heard this song and alerted his other band members.
He told them that Joel had used HIS misery song and released a song.
"He didn't even give me credit!!" exclaimed Pierre.
So Pierre and the rest of Simple Plan worked on a song with 'misery loves' in it to get back at Joel Madden.

So, on December 7th 2007, the song When I'm Gone was released by Simple Plan.

That's my story. X]

Pretty bad, eh? Oh well, it could be true. Lawl.

The '90s: Boy, did they suck!

Today I read through VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s (via Idolator).

I like about 7 songs in that list.
Disgraceful.
I'm honestly wondering why Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit was first on a list that included Britney Spears' ...Baby One More Time.
But oh well.
What do you think?

Annoying People 101

If you know me, you know how damn annoying I am, so when I recently came across a hilarious little webpage called GetAnnoyed.com, it brought many LOLs. It features hundreds of ways to annoy people, in various places and situations. Here are just some of my favourites...

In an elevator: Call out, "Group hug!" and enforce it.

Ask people to prove everything they say. (e.g. "I'm Bob, nice to meet you..." "PROVE IT!")

Become a secret agent for a week. Eat every piece of paper after reading it. Speak into your lapel. Accuse your roommate of stealing the secret plans to the world's greatest battlestation. Carry a gun.

Before anyone else is in the computer lab, connect each computer to a different screen than the one it's set up with.

When ordering something, if the person repeats the order to make sure they have it right, say, "Okay that'll be $10.99; please pull up to the first window".

Constantly wink at a person you don't know. Follow them around and blow kisses to them.

Take your sofa for a walk.

Also, I have done the following many times:
If you're sitting in a swivel chair, spin around singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".

Albums of '07... X]

I have different opinions from Miri so here are MY top five albums of 2007. X]

BEST ALBUMS
5. My December - Kelly Clarkson
Song Pick - Never Again
The angriest song ever. But good lyrics.

4. Delta - Delta Goodrem
Song Pick - In This Life
It is a good album. Apparently, Delta dedicated all the love songs to Andrew Gee. Hm...

3. Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace - Foo Fighters
Song Pick - Long Road To Ruin
Woah. This dude from Nirvana is a pretty good.

2. Hook Me Up - The Veronicas
Song Pick - Popular
Electro popping duo. Nice bunch of tunes.

1. Yes Yes Vindictive - Operator Please
Song Pick - Just A Song About Ping Pong
Crazy album by a bunch of crazy teenagers. =]

WORST ALBUM
Blackout - Britney Spears
Her episode in rehab put her permanently in everyone's bad books. And then Jamie Lynn joined her in the bad books with this pregnancy...

PREDICTION FOR '08
Matt Corby's album. He has signed with Sony BMG. Hopefully his originals will be as good as his covers.

Pets At Christmas

Please read Gala Darling's article on giving people pets for Christmas.
Think twice okay? There are a ridiculous amount of cats and dogs that are abandoned after Christmas. They don't deserve that.

Albums of '07

Best Albums:
5. Absolute Garbage - Garbage
Song pick - Tell Me Where It Hurts
Garbage never disappoints, and this 'Best Of' collection was no exception.
4. Hymns For The Non Believer - Kisschasy
Song pick - Spray On Pants
Catchy rock tunes. Great album.
3. iViva La Cobra! - Cobra Starship
Song pick - Guilty Pleasure
Although it's not as good as their debut, Viva La Cobra is catchy and fun.
2. Riot! - Paramore
Song pick - Born For This
Hayley's vocals were amazing. The songs were catchy and brilliant. I loved it.
1. Infinity on High - Fall Out Boy
Song pick - The (After) Life of the Party
Although it was quite different to FUCT and TTYG, Infinity on High shot Fall Out Boy to mainstream success in Australia.

Worst Album
Eat Me, Drink Me - Marilyn Manson
Oh, dear. What happened?! Manson's album set out to shock but nobody really cared. And with lyrics like that, neither did I. Write another Beautiful People, then we'll talk.
Runner up: Blackout - Britney Spears
But we all expected it to be crap, didn't we?

Prediction for '08:
Panic! At the Disco's sophomore album should be huge. With the success of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, a lot of people will be buying the new album on the 25th of March. But only time can tell if people will like it...

Amazing Race. X]

Oh Em Gee. X]

Anyone watch it? I did.

Kimberly reminds me of that chick on Don't Forget The Lyrics. The Katie one.

And Phil should have ELIMINATED Tom and Terry (i.e. TNT). They broke the rules. =]

My favourites are (or were): Dustin and Kandice, the cheerleaders, Lauren (not Duke 'cause he is lame), Kimberly (not Rob) and Tyler and James (TJ).

Yeah. Kimberly and Rob are like Rob-And-Amber-Wannabes 'cept they fight too much.

Rob and Amber don't fight. Amber's like, "I love you, Rob." And Rob's like, "Gotta win. Gotta win. Argh."

And when they were losing in the All Stars, Amber was like, "You are angry 'cause we're not winning." And Rob was like, "Noo."

Twas funny.

And Dustin and Kandice helped Rob and Amber in the All Stars. I was like, "Go Dee and Kay!!"

Hm. Duke and Lauren got eliminated last night. I was like, "It is all Duke's fault. Poor Lauren..."

BTW, Duke kinda doesn't like Lauren. 'Cause Lauren came out of the closet. Well, Duke likes Lauren but not love.

In this context, 'love' is like 'father-daughter love'


Yeah...

Lovely Links

Here are some links to keep you interested on this dull rainy Friday..

If horror movie villains were an annoying stereotype in society, which one would they be? Emo, of course. Because everything is emo these days.

More Buzznet goodness! Fall Out Boy vocalist, Patrick Stump will be appearing as a suspect on an episode of Law & Order in early Janurary (in the US, that is). But will he be the killer? I'm going with "yes", because it's always the cute, quiet, cuddly-looking ones.

Stuck for a New Years Resolution? Gala Darling has some ideas for you!

Idolator's Worst Album Cover of the Year tournament is heating up! It's so bad it's good.

And finally, if you want more Laura, which you do, she has her own blog too. Hooray!

Buzznet, iCiNG, Idolator (COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIIIVE!), Blogger.

WISE THINGS TO REMEMBER.... X]

Yes. I know I'm insane but I can be wise....

Here are some wise things for you all. I shall add my comments too. =]
Wise quote in red; my comments in white.

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.
Yeah. Good one to remember at the pub. Have you had enough tequilas? Remember this little rhyme....

If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes? Good thinking. Why don't all monkeys and apes evolve into men (or women)???

What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?
That's a good one. 'Cause you can't kill the animal 'cause it's endangered but you can't just let the animal eat the plant.... Hm. X]

If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?
Which one? I think homeless. 'Cause he is like a snail. They carry their homes around with them... =]

Could a vegetarian eat chicken flavoured chips?
That's a tricky one. 'Cause I'm not a vegetarian. One day, I'll give Miri some chicken flavoured chips... And I'll see if she eats them... =]

What was the best thing before sliced bread?
Probably the light bulb. I mean, where would we be without the light bulb? Hang on, when was sliced bread invented? When my mum was a child, I think. X]

If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do the rest have to drown too?
Yeah. They'd all have to drown. 'Cause they all have to do the SAME thing to win the competition. If one picks his nose, everyone has to do it too. X]

Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
Adults ENJOY adultery?? Woah. So that's where all our parents go at night... =]

If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?
Well, Earth is the stage and all the aliens from Mars, Mercury, Venus and what not are the audience... =]

If you ate pasta and antipasta, would you still be hungry?
I'll try it one day. Well, actually I don't know what antipasta is... =|

Do you want the good news or the bad news first?

Well, the bad news is, Jamie Lynn's 19 18 year old boyfriend won't be charged with rape, because he's just 2 years older.
Boo! If he was any older, he would, though!

The good news is...uh, well I actually didn't have any good news. Erm. 4 days till Christmas?

Hollywood Gossip

Here are my picks for the happenings in Hollywood today...

Okay, so we all know that Britney Spears' 16 year old sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, is pregnant. But what you might not know is that Britney only found out when we did!
Click to watch her receive the news from the paparazzi. Poor Britney, always the last to know!

In news that doesn't involve the Spears family, Jessica Simpson has been told to
gtfo of the stadium, because she's cramping her sport star boyfriend's style. Hahahaha!

And are we really that surprised that her sister,
(tr)Ashlee's new single and video suck? I certainly didn't have high expectations for it.

In news more shocking than Jamie Lynn's pregnancy, recent photos of boyfriend of Ashlee, bassist for Fall Out Boy, and general guyliner wearing girl, Pete Wentz, show that he is actually able to
grow a beard. Who knew?! Plus, the beard has super powers that cause me to want to poke my eyes out with a fork.

HELLO.

So. How is everyone?

This is run by TWO people so I think the other person blogging won't like my posts 'cause they'll be about Dale Thomas.

Anyway, Dale Thomas is a really cool footballer... And he wears number 13. He plays for Collingwood.

Miri: Oh no! She's rambling again. =|
