Celebrities Say the Darnest Things: Summer Edition

Posted by Lady Mel On Monday, May 24, 2010 2 comments

Summer is upon us and everyone will enjoy the sun and hot weather in their own terms-- not celebrities. Hollywood celebrities have it all: beautiful women, expensive yachts and cars, $$ to do the hell they want.  Lady Mel had the pleasure to sit down with some household names and ask them their summer plans. You would not believe the responses...

I'm going to create a new album, away from the Sasha Fierce persona. It will be release sometime in November. I will slay all these pop singers asses off. Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Ke$ha, Ciara... watch out for Honey Bee.


I will create a diabolic plan soo evil, so nefarious, to destroy the Glee club, Mr. Schue will be begging me to give him a blowjob, while I stroke his luscious locks. No one messes with Sue Sylevester and I am sticking to that. 


Get Katherine to love me again. If not, I'll kill her and win Elena's heart instead. Who does not love this gorgeous face? *Smirk*


I will attend this year's Webby Awards in NYC and then I want to make out with Zaboo. I should have done that in Season 1 of the Guild.


My summer plans? Finish Mission Impossible 4. I want to actually show my acting skills. I might get L. Ron Hubbard's thetan to guest star in the movie. That would be amazing.

2010 Grammy Awards Review: I Wish Kanye West Was Here.

Posted by Lady Mel On Monday, February 1, 2010 2 comments

ZZZZZZ. That is all I can say. ZZZZZZZ. I was expecting many vibrant performances and all I got was ZZZZZZZZ. I might not watch another Grammy awards shows as long as I am alive. Here are the highlights of the show that people will continue to gossip about until there is something left to gossip about:

1. It was boring as hell. After reading this post, you will know why.

2. I want to congratulate Beyonce for winning six awards this year including Song of the Year for "Single Ladies". She has won the most awards for any female artist in one night. I think she even brought her own record. But her Rhythmn Nation-esque, Alanis Morissette singing performance was a nuisance. I was expecting her to perform "Radio" or "Diva", but it did not happen. I think when you are expecting beyond an artist's potential, it irritates the hell of you and I think that is what happened. You expect artists to be artists and you get processed meat instead.


3. Ok, there was one vibrant, flawless performance and it was the opening act. Lady Gaga, I know you are out and I want to saw is that you and Elton John executed an energetic and awesome duet. This is what live performances should be. I predicted this in my Grammy previous blog post. I love your glittery sequence. The "Your Song" remix was pretty awesome. For someone who was subbed the Record of the Year and Album of the Year when you clearly deserved it, your talents shines brighter than any Grammy trophy. I do not want your creativity and fashion flare to go to waste. I hope you keep making more music. Forget the Grammys. Wait, Screw the Grammys! Congratulations on your two Grammys tonight. Although, you have changed the gender landscape within the music industry, this business is not ready for you just yet.


4. Taylor Swift did not win the most awards this evening as I predicted, but she won the biggest award; Album of the Year. I am still stocked that this "girl next door" American Idol winner won Album of the Year, although Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and the Black Eyed Peas deserved it more. When she was accepting the award, I was hoping Kanye West was going to come on stage and pull another VMAs incident on your ass. (oops! hehe). How can you win the night's biggest award when you were singing off-key alongside Stevie Nicks!? Beyonce did a lousy performance but she can sing! Come on, Academy. What were you thinking?

5. Cut the country music now. I do not want to hear Lady Antebellum,  Taylor Swift, or the Dave Matthews Band. I heard more country music than any other genre of music this evening. WTF? Tone it down for next year.

6. The Michael Jackson Tribute was pretty good. I liked that his two oldest children came out and accepted his Life Achievement Award. But I was expected more! I wanted a dancing tribute. I have already seen footage of the late MJ's "Earth song" on his This Is It documentary in theaters and on DVD. For once, I wanted to see Chris Brown dance his ass off for the late King of Pop and you know I do not like Chris Brown. It was a nice tribute overall, but I was expecting more because this is MJ we are talking about! Secondly, the 3D effect was a complete failure.

7. Stephen Colbert's Ipad joke/diss to Jay-Z was hilarious. Love you Colbert! <3

8. Overall, if I had to give the Grammy Awards a rating being five stars the best and no stars as the worst, it would be a 1.5. And that is because I enjoyed Lady Gaga and Elton John's performance the most. I now think that the VMAs is better than the Grammys. I just hope the Oscars can cure the pain and disappointment I have towards award shows in general.

2009 AMA Awards Predictions

Posted by Lady Mel On Thursday, November 19, 2009 0 comments



Here are my predictions. The ones in bold blue are my top picks. The ones in bold gold are my second, runner-up picks because I could not decide the sole winner of each category. I will discuss about the biggest awards only because if I have to talk about each and every category, my writing will be as long as the Oscars each year!

Lets start with the Artist of the Year category. The King of Pop will be the big winner of the night. He is up for five nominations this year. I really want Lady Gaga to win this particular award because she has an incredible year and she is about to start her world tour, but since Michael Jackson's untimely death (R.I.P MJ) was the story of the summer and that he has been the most influential pop icon of the past thirty years, I will not be surprised if he will win Artist of the Year, Favorite Male Artist, and Best R&B Album. Note that I want Maxwell to win for Favorite Male Artist, but come on. The fans are going to pick MJ instead.

There is also some gossip floating around that if Michael Jackson was not dead, he would have not been even nominated in the first place because he technically did not release a new album on the radio. It's true. Look who won the Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture at this year's Academy Awards. The late Heath Ledger. If the AMA Awards can get Janet Jackson to perform the opening act for eight minutes, MJ is expected to win big.

Secondly, I think Taylor Swift will be the other big winner at Sunday's awards ceremonial. She will defiantly win the Favorite Country Female Artist, Favorite Country Album, and Favorite Adult Comptemporary Artist awards, although she will have some stiff competition with Beyonce and Lady Gaga in the Favorite Female Pop Artist category for two obvious reasons: 1.) Lady Gaga is only nominated three times this year and she has more potential to win this award or the Breakthrough Artist Award; although her album is very good, I know the fans will not pick her debut album over Michael's Number Ones album in the Favorite Pop Album category. If she is robbed of this Best Pop Female or the Breakthough Artist Award, I am going to kill ABC. (I hate you ABC for cancelling a perfectly, awesome show!)  2.) Lady Gaga has been EVERYWHERE this year selling her music and intriguing us with her iconoclastic, yet awesome fashion sense and musical talent. But! There is a but. I think it is a woman's intuition, but Taylor Swift will get the award. *sighs*

Beyonce will not be voted Favorite Female Pop Artist. Yes, Single Ladies was an Internet and pop phenomenon when it hit the airways late last October, but her videos after her first Sasha Fierce hit has gone downhill. If you want to see her newest video, scroll down to yesterday's blog post. Overall, she will win the Best Female R&B Artist instead. Watch the AMA Awards this Sunday night to see if my predictions came true!

"Video Phone" First Impressions

Posted by Lady Mel On Wednesday, November 18, 2009 2 comments





The video is out! Everyone is blogging about it. My prayers have been spoken. I love Beyonce and I love Lady Gaga. But, I do not like this video and here are the reasons why I do not like it:

1. Overexposed and Repetitive: Beyonce, I know you are the zenith of your musical career. You have a husband, you make millions. But this video does not do anything for you. I was waiting for something new and fresh after being slightly disappointed with her "Sasha Fierce" persona videos. I'll talk about these two talented young ladies tomorrow  in my 2009 AMA Awards Predictions segment, but seriously this video reminds me of her earlier work on her sophomore album "B-Day". Anyone seen the Green Light video? If Beyonce wants to say on the top of the charts, be more inventive. Once you become mainstream, nine times out of ten, your music becomes garbage. But I guess thats how the pop music industry is anyway.

2. Rihanna: Omg, I hope I am not the only person in here who thought that Beyonce was sporting a Rihanna hairdo when she was strutting down the alleyway with the well-tailored gentlemen in the first twenty seconds of her new video? Don't channel Rihanna for heaven's sake! Grrrrr.

3. Oversexualized: Beyonce, are you there? What happened to my strong, independent "Bills, Bills, Bills" girl? She was just a bit too raunchy and overdoing the whole "Sasha Fierce" thing in this video yet again. Was the concept of this video porn or dressing up for your boyfriend on your video phone? Oh, wait. Sasha Fierce and Carrie Prejean do have something in common.

4. Lady Gaga: I love Lady Gaga. Period. But Lady Gaga seemed out of place. I cannot put my finger on it though.  LadyGaga went toe to toe with Beyonce in her moves and hairstyles, but Beyonce did not need Lady Gaga. LadyGaga's guest appearance did not add any flavor or coolness to this video. Beyonce can stand on her own. And for LadyGaga to mimic Beyonce is a crime! :O But I will let that one slide......

5. The song itself: Beyonce should have picked another song to be her next single. Period. I would have chosen "Radio".

I'm Back and Better than Ever!

I am back from a well-deserved vacation playing WOW (its all over for now) and job hunting online (wait I still am ><). God, four months has passed. However, I will make the commitment to writing a blog or two everyday from now on since I'm at home and unemployed at the moment. Here are the crazy things that have been bothering me in the past few weeks.


1. Kanye West is a jackass.
2. President Obama is now the man because he thinks he acted like a jackass.
3. Depression/WOW can be a hell of a drug.

4. Will people and politicans of all political associations come together and create a new health care reform bill? Talk talk talk. Yet, people die every hour around the world.

5. Job Hunting is a fun, stressful, exciting, intimidating experience. I did not get that Google position I've applied in late April yet I am hopeful things will come through for me.

6. Beyonce needs to bring her A game and create NEW videos. No more Sasha Fierce. No more backup dancer THEMED videos. Because between you and me Beyonce, Lady Gaga is getting up there and you better watch out.

7. I actually loved the VMAs last Sunday after a five year hiatus.

8. Cartoon Network is not what it used too in the late 1990s. ><

9. I have to be more realistic in an unrealistic world. Yet, I have to keep some idealism in there somehow.

I think that is all for today.. Now, I feel sooo much better :D!!
