Spikeylover's Music vids and other things

hellbob & I got up at 6ish this morning to go shop. We only hit 2 stores, Target & Best Buy, but we got everything we'd had on our list. I got another portable external hard drive for storing my photos. I'm going to take the one I'd been using as my main drive and drop it off at genevra's house so that I've got an offsite backup of everything I've shot since 2002.
Other than that we mostly got movies & video games that were on sale.
I got Supernatural Season 4 for only $14.99!!! We also got Coraline, The Dark Knight, and Star Trek in Blu-Ray and a bunch of non-Blu-Ray stuff that was cheap. Zack and Miri Make a Porno was only $3.99!
Rick got some flying game for the PS3, and we got Arkham Asylum which he is playing right now. Very pretty.
We met up with romeoa & pinkshaya for the shopping, and got some yummy breakfast at Fat Nat's afterward! Nom nom nom.
At that point it was about noon and I really only wanted to just go home and nap. But I went into work instead. I did the same thing I did last year where the minilab was closed for the day, but I went in just to clean my photo machines. Thelma & Louise are all nice and clean now. Hopefully they'll just behave for the holiday season now.
Tomorrow, we help pinkshaya move & then go out to celebrate LJ-less Curt's birthday.
Are we really only a month from Christmas?

Rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs is eager to test his comedy credentials with a cameo role on hit series 30 Rock.

The hip-hop star loves the Tina Fey-created show and has become pals with 30 Rock funnymen Tracy Morgan and Jack McBrayer.

And he's been lobbying the stars for a guest spot on the program.

McBrayer says, "He is a big fan of 30 Rock and he's like, 'Can I be in the show?' and I was like, 'What if we played best friends?'"

Combs has previously showed off his acting skills with roles in 2008 TV movie A Raisin in the Sun, based on the play by Lorraine Hansberry, and a two-episode stint on TV crime drama CSI: Miami earlier this year.

Mariah Carey's New Year's resolution is to start a family with husband Nick Cannon - the superstar singer has hinted they will clear their hectic schedules in 2010 to have children.

The Hero hitmaker married rapper/actor Cannon in the Bahamas last year after a whirlwind romance and she admits they've been making family plans.

But Carey insists they're holding off on having kids until at least the New Year when work commitments and Christmas celebrations are out of the way - because she wants her children to have their parents' full attention.

She tells U.K. talk show This Morning, "We've definitely discussed it (having kids). The only thing is that at this particular moment, it's almost Christmas. He's doing his work and I'm promoting and doing all this stuff. Right now is not the moment. My parents were divorced and it's not like, 'Oh, woe is me!' A lot of people's parents are divorced but I would just like to have a nice, normal life for that moment."

In October 2009, a modestly budgeted blaxploitation send-up called "Black Dynamite" launched onto screens and stayed there for about a week. After an opening weekend gross of roughly $131,000, averaging out to about $1000 per screen, the film's distributor quickly pulled it from theaters despite it gaining positive buzz in the press. Thankfully, however, the film's quick stint in theaters will be rectified by an expedited February release on DVD, and its internet buzz is growing stronger despite the studio's complete lack of effort in advertising the film. The story behind the making and release of the hilarious "Black Dynamite" is a harrowing tale of niche appeal falling flat on its face, which, oddly enough, sealed its fate towards becoming a cult classic.

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively had to fight for her role in new Ben Affleck movie The Town - because casting directors were convinced she was too young for the part.

The actress, 22, was turned away when she first expressed interest in playing mother-of-one Krista Coughlin in the upcoming crime drama.

But she refused to give up hope and jumped on a train to Boston, Massachusetts to seek out Affleck, who stars in and directs the film, to audition for him personally.

Her tactics worked - and scriptwriters were forced to rework the screenplay to suit Lively.

She tells Us Weekly magazine, "My part was supposed to be a 37 year old. I was like, 'I have to play this.' And they're like, 'No, you're not 37.'

"I took a train to Boston and auditioned for Ben and fought for the role, and he gave me the job on the spot. They rewrote it so I'm 29."

Jennifer Aniston jetted to Morocco Thursday, joining a slew of other high-wattage celebs, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Orlando Bloom, Adrien Brody and Salma Hayek at the lavish gala for the reopening of Marrakesh's famed La Mamounia hotel.

"It's sad to be away from America on Thanksgiving," Aniston, who stopped in London before arriving in Marrakesh, told PEOPLE. "But I actually had my meal last week in L.A. with friends." She added, "I was last here 10 years ago, so I am happy to be back."

As Aniston, who wore a gown by Celine, approached La Mamounia's red carpet, a throng of photographers knocked over a large lamp, giving the actress a bit of a scare. She later joked, "What am I thankful for? After that, I’m happy to be alive!"

Who else is going to be bawling?

As a child, Patrick Stewart regularly saw his father hit his mother. Here he describes how the horrors of his childhood remained with him in his adult life.



(This article is a bit long but seriously have a tiny bit of goddamn tact and just scroll on by if you don't feel like reading it.)

My father was, in many ways, a man of discipline, organisation and charisma - a regimental sergeant major no less. One of the very last men to be evacuated from Dunkirk, his third stripe was chalked on to his uniform by an officer when no more senior NCOs were left alive. Parachuted into Crete and Italy, both times under fire, he fought at Monte Casino and was twice mentioned in dispatches. A fellow soldier once told me, "When your father marches on to the parade ground, the birds in the trees stop singing."

In civilian life it was a different story. He was an angry, unhappy and frustrated man who was not able to control his emotions or his hands. As a child I witnessed his repeated violence against my mother, and the terror and misery he caused was such that, if I felt I could have succeeded, I would have killed him. If my mother had attempted it, I would have held him down. For those who struggle to comprehend these feelings in a child, imagine living in an environment of emotional unpredictability, danger and humiliation week after week, year after year, from the age of seven. My childish instinct was to protect my mother, but the man hurting her was my father, whom I respected, admired and feared.

Just when we thought only the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” were full of posers and foolery, “The Real Housewives of D.C.” is off to the same start! At the White House’s first State Dinner last week, two people popped up in the mix–taking pics in front of the media and with extrememly powerful politicians–and they were NOT invited. How’d they get in? Secret Service is still trying to determine. But they are now facing charges because they were not on the guest list nor seated at a table.

The couple in question, Tareq and Michaele Salahi, are actually casted for the newest installment of “The Real Housewives of D.C.” And they decided to CRASH the state dinner like it was some club or some ish. D.C. and the White House is going nuts trying to figure out how some random people got so close tot he President and the Prime Minister of India (the honoree) and the other politicians like Governors, mayors, and VP Biden. The Salahi’s actually posted ALL the pics they took with these politicians at the party on their Facebook page, and that’s how they got caught. Smh.

This is reportedly not the first time this couple has crashed a very high powered and tight security party. It’s also well known that Tareq’s family business 9a winery) has been facing several financial problems. The couple’s friends have even told the media they believe the Salahi’s are embezzling money from their own “charity organizations” they founded just to keep their business afloat. Michaele’s hairdresser says they got a call hours before the event and when they asked homegirl to see the “White House State Dinner” invitation she kept talking about, she refused to show it. Womp. A film crew was also spotted filming the couple getting out of their SUV and walking up to the White House. And Mrs. Salahi had a makeup artist fluff her up before getting out the car.

Unfortunately, Secret Service is placing blame on Desiree Rogers, the White House’s first black Social Secretary. They say it’s the Social Office’s responsibility to guard who’s in and who’s out list-wise. And despite reports saying the couple never got close to President Obama, the Huffington Post just reported today that is untrue. the couple indeed met with Obama at the event. So now this is a major security threat.

While Bravo has not OFFICIALLY confirmed their D.C. cast just yet, it’s pretty well known, their “lawyer and publicist” (yes, they already have one) have put out this statement:

“At this time the Salahis’ will not make any formal comments regarding the rumors and media speculation surrounding the White House State Dinner (Tuesday November 24). Their counsel, Paul W. Gardner Esq. states emphatically that the Salahis’ did not “crash” this event. We look forward to setting the record straight very soon.”

Rachel McAdams needed to do lots of yoga to fit into her 'Sherlock Holmes' outfit.

The actress had to wear a lot of tight-fitting corsets for her role as Irene Adler in Guy Ritchie's new movie about the British fictional detective and admits it was a struggle to get them on.

She says, "I wasn't allowed to take that corset off! I had to rely on yoga exercises! Don't get me wrong, I'm such a girly girl, I was in heaven being dressed in these incredible costumes. But it was like something out of 'Gone With The Wind'. I'm holding onto the trailer door trying to eek out just a little bit of space so that I can speak properly. Each morning, they tried to make me laugh and on the laugh they'd yank - that's how they managed to squeeze me in every day."

Rachel also joked she was so desperate to be in the film, she had to beg Guy for her part. "I hunted Guy down and camped on his doorstep until he relented! OK, no, we had a chat in a garden and it went from there... Fortunately, it worked out for me."
