Bye, Bye, Bye: American Idol

Wow it's the end of an era. Fifteen Seasons on the air and now it's over. I remember when American Idol was pretty much a social experiment and no one knew whether it would work or not. In the interest of full disclosure I stopped watching after the season Adam Lambert was on.

However it is no secret to most I am buddies with James Durbin who will be appearing on tonight's series finale, among others including the original Idol herself, Ms. Kelly Clarkson.

This factoid did not escape the most Dedicated Durbinator, Marissa Erickson who friended me on Facebook and followed me on Twitter when she saw my coverage of James.

Well she sent me some images from a live chat she participated in on Facebook during the rehearsals involving James for his performance to the final countdown to tonight's AI farewell.

She wrote this to me in a message:

"Today a live chat on face book from idol and James Durbin"

So here are images from Marissa's live chat enjoy tonight's final American Idol show!!!

Hump Day Inspiration: Amy Schumer

Don't Funk With Me!
Amy Schumer

Yeah this week has been a tough one, for me at least. Maybe not all of you, but I bet three quarters of you feel the way I do.

It's times like these great heaven knows, that I wished we had? Some wisdom perhaps? Levity? How about both?!

Here are ten great quotes from one Ms. Amy Schumer to get you over the mid-week blahs!

1)  “I’m probably like 160 pounds right now and can catch a dick whenever I want.” 

2) “I get labeled a sex comic. But if a guy got up onstage and pulled his dick out, everybody would say: ‘He's a thinker.’”

3) "That’s the Hollywood secret: Don’t put food in your dumb mouth!"

4) “Make sure he knows that you’re entitled to an orgasm. I like to say it. I’ll be like, ‘Hey, there are two people here.’ I’ll be like, ‘Oh my God, have you met my clit?’”

5) “We have to be a role model for these little girls, because who do they have? All they have really is the Kardashians ... And like, we used to have Khloé. Khloé was ours, right? Whenever there’s a group of women, you identify with one of them … Khloé, she lost half her body weight. She lost a Kendall! We have nothing. I want good role models.”

6) “The other day I was having some wine and some weed and an Ambien. Or, as I like to call it, ‘Tucking myself in.'”

7) “Beautiful, gross, strong, thin, fat, pretty, ugly, sexy, disgusting, flawless, woman. Thank you Annie Leibovitz!”

8) "I'm, like, newly famous, and it turns out it's not fun. Did you guys know that?"

9) “Just as good as the male comics: We put on our pants one leg at a time, just like them. And then we bleed in those pants."

10) “Please, please, take some photos. Isn’t that salad great? I’m wearing the shortest dress, you’re probably getting a photo of my clitoris right now.”

Party Like A Lesbian With Lady Gaga

The Ladies Who Party
Lady Gaga & Friends

Lady Gaga took some time off from Taylor Kinney to indulge her sapphic side. She is an admitted bi-sexual after all and headed West to Palm Springs, CA for the Club Skirts pool party during Dinah Shore Weekend. I am sure about half of the women attending do not even know who Dinah Shore was at this point and juncture, but hey, any excuse to party, riiiiiiiiiight?! 

Gaga hung out and mingled where the girls are and paid a visit to Lindsay Lohan's ex Samantha Ronson who was the pool party DJ. From the photo above it's looks like a good time! I'm thinking I should attend next year...oh right no men allowed. Does this mean you have to check any strap-on's at the door too?

Happy Monday and have a terrific week!

PS Why the Fuck was sapphic spell checked and there was no word suggestions to replace it, that were remotely like it? Fuck never gets flagged as misspelled anymore and sapphic does? Just sayin'...

You Can't Handle The Cute!

But Does He Make You Breakfast In The Morning?
Zac Efron & Friend

And they called it Puppy Love. Whilst doing ADR (audio dialogue replacement) for Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, Zac Efron was getting sugar kisses from a puppy equally as cute as he is. 

He posted a video of himself and man's best friend on his Instagram saying to his new crush:

"Oh, who loves ADR for Neighbors?" Oh, who loves ADR for Neighbors, Neighbors 2?" - the pup kept licking his face, oh to be that dog, woof!

The sequel to, like duh, Neighbors is set for release May 20. Featuring an impressive comedic cast of returning rogues, consisting of Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Dave Franco, and Lisa Kudrow, plus freshmen such as Selena Gomez, and Chloe Grace Moretz. 

So how does the Basset Hound fit in? Hmmmmmmmm?!?!

Hello Kitty, It's Shonen Knife

Punk Rocking Since The 80's
Shonen Knife!

Celebrating 35 years of Punk, the ladies of Shonen Knife drop their sixteenth studio album today titled Adventure!

And "yes" I have been a fan all of those years. One of my favorite Knife songs is their cover of The Carpenters Top Of The World from the CD If I Were A Carpenter.

Oh, a little FYI. Before you go crazy and shit like that for the Hello Kitty reference it is stated that the iconic pussy is one or their influences in their press release, Meow!

With tracks bearing titles such as Rock-n-Roll T-Shirt, Cotton Candy Clouds & Wasabi, all of which I have heard. These women give their fans what they want and expect, a fun time!

Kurt Cobain invited them to open for Nirvana in the U.S., their first venture here. They also did a bomb ass ode to "Buttercup" voiced by my friend E.G. Daily for the Powerpuff Girls. 

I'm gonna give you some links below to check out. If you have yet to discover this powerful grrrrrrrrrrl band, well take the invite I am extending to you for an Adventure. 

PS This ain't no April Fools joke, I ain't no Limburger!
