8 years ago. People thought Britney Spears could do no wrong.
She was the biggest popstar on the planet, she was the most powerful celebrity in the world, she even got paid to drink Pepsi (just one of the reasons why Pepsi is my life). And then she released a little movie called 'Crossroads'.
On paper, 'Crossroads' looked like a surefire hit. It starred the most famous person alive. It featured a solid supporting cast. It was even written by the future creator of 'Grey's Anatomy': Shonda Rhimes. The storyline seemed easily attainable and it made sense for Brit Brit to play this character. It just sort of all didn't mesh as well as it could've.
Flashforward to the present time and I as a devout Spears follower had never actually watched 'Crossroads'. I made jokes about it all the time and never actually sat down and realized that I hadn't seen this movie and that was basically a sin for someone like me.
So one day I saw that a new friend of mine had the movie so I of course borrowed it on the spot. THANK YOU B-KOOP. Today my cousin and I sat down and popped our 'Crossroads' cherry. And let me tell you, it wasn't as painful or awkward as people made it out to be.
Britney Spears does NOT deliver a terrible performance at all. It's average at most but not as bad as I thought she would be. Miley was ten times worst in The Last Song. The story itself was not as ridiculous as I thought it would be.
The best part of the whole thing was that Zoe Saldana who was just in the biggest movie of all time plays one of the leads. And what an all-star cast it is: Dan Akroyd, Kim Catrall, Zoe, Taryn Manning, and Justin Long?! I loved it, loved it.
Honestly over all it's a legit movie that I need to rewatch like a thousand times now. Still can't believe fucking Shonda Rhimes wrote it. . . DRAMA.

Don't Call it a Comeback.
WHAT UP.
Guess who's back?! I'm pulling a Mariah Carey and emancipating my Mimi on this shit.
(basically just trying to say I'm going to blog more over the summer. . .)
A LOT OF DRAMA HAS GONE DOWN.
First things first. . .
Fuck American Idol. Fuck Lee Dewyze (honestly I've been watching this show all season and I still have no idea how to pronounce his last name. . .)
Simon is bouncing off this show and so am I. CRYSTAL WAS ROBBED.
TEAM X-FACTOR FALL 2011.
Who would've thought that Christina Aguilera could fall from grace with her much anticipated fourth album 'Bionic'. I mean how could she have fucked this up?!
SHE WAS WORKING WITH THE BEST ELECTRO/POP ARTISTS IN THE BIZ.
Ladytron, Le Tigre, M.I.A., Goldfrapp, Sia. . .
You dropped the ball girl, sit down and lick your wounds because this is a flop like no other. It doesn't bother me if you copy Lady Gaga as long as what you're doing sounds good, and it doesn't. However 'Woo Hoo' is fucking ridiculous and I love it.
Also, for the record, all you haters that say that Miley is copying Gaga and that everyone else who does something "different" or "crazy" is copying Gaga you need to shut your mouths and realize that Gaga isn't the only person who has original ideas other people can be wierd too that doesn't mean they're trying to be like her.
Last time I checked Gaga didn't sprout wings while trapped in a cage. I bet she's pissed Miley did that before she did.
Speaking of Miley, 'Can't Be Tamed' is officially my song of the summer.
It's krunk as shit. And honestly is it really that shocking for her to dance and girate like that. . .it's like okay people have been flipping shit about her not being a good role model and saying she's going to be some trainwreck like Britney or Lindsay well uh looks to me like she's going all out for Britney's TEEN POP PRINCESS CROWN just like we all said she would and correct me if I'm wrong but before Britney ever trainwrecked anywhere she had the world eating out of her multi-million dollar worldwide empire. Get it Miley.
SURPRISE TV WRAP UP!!!!!!!!!
Okay I'm going to try and make sense of this past TV season and give you hints on what shows to watch ove the summer. . .
-Glee: The most popular show in the world right now. One of the best first seasons of any TV show that I can remember, however, and I know this isn't just me that feels this way, the show is already feeling a bit tired. I am honestly thinking this show will burn out before we all expect it to. But for now it's awesome.
-LOST: BEST SERIES FINALE EVER. NUFF SAID.
-Gossip Girl: Just when I thought this show had lost it's edge, that fucking season finale happened. TEAM JENNY.
-Real Housewives: This franchise is for real the best thing on cable right now. Jesus Christ on a cracker it's addicting. My personal fave is New York but Jersey is right behind them.
-Smallville: After 10 seasons and half of my life this show is finally ending next year. Honestly it never had a really bad season it was consistant and still legit after 10 years and that's basically unheard of these days.
-Desperate Housewives: Marc Cherry (the creator) wants to extend the show for another two-three years. PLEASE DON'T this season was by far the worst and next season should definitely be the last.
-Grey's Anatomy: NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A SEASON FINALE. Just when I though Shonda Rhimes was done that fucking finale raised it hard.
-Brothers and Sisters: Excellent finale, terrible season. Needs something jumpstart the drama.
-Parenthood: LAUREN GRAHAMA I LOVE YOU.
-Vampire Diaries: True Blood for teens, and that is not a criticism it's a HUGE COMPLIMENT.
-Sons of Anarchy: Hamlet on motorcycles, and it's krunk.
-Nip/Tuck: I am highly satisfied with the ending of this groundbreaking drama, however Kimber didn't have to die.
-Chuck: The best show you AREN'T watching.
-Ugly Betty: Had probably it's best season and then it ended. :(
There are those recaps but I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of other stuff.
THE BEST NEW SHOWS ARE: Parenthood, Glee, Vampire Diaries, Modern Family, Justified.
THE BEST SHOWS OVERALL ARE: True Blood, Glee, Modern Family, LOST, Supernatural, Parenthood, Parks and Recreations.
SHOWS TO WATCH THIS SUMMER:
-True Blood: For obvious reasons.
-Burn Notice: It's like CSI: Miami but actually good.
-My Life on the D-List: Kathy Griffin, nuff said.
-Weeds: Mary Louise-Parker, nuff said.
-Real Housewives: I don't care what city they're in, WATCH IT.
-Hannah Montana: Coming soon, it's the final season :(
Sex and the City 2 was kinda lame. The thing that worked so well about the first movie was that it felt a lot like just watching a long episode of the TV show with some extra glam and drama thrown in. It was great. The sequel feels like they tried to make it EXTRA GLAM AND EXTRA DRAMA because they felt like they needed to top the first movie or somehow make it into a movie-type situation.
What I'm trying to say is that the second one felt like a movie, just a regular romantic-comedy type movie with movie-world situations. I like that they vacationed but Abu Dhabi? Really? A lot of the scenes would never have happened in the TV Show. Like the muslim women in designer clothes and Carrie showing her leg like that. It felt like a sitcom, and Sex and the City was never a sitcom.
I think that's enough for now. . .
See ya,
