Wanted: Mad Men

Posted by Lady Mel On Sunday, October 4, 2009 0 comments

Two wealthy, powerful  men. What do they have in common? They have both cheated ridicule in the figurative sense. Dave Letterman. I give you props for finally speaking the truth. You shocked the hell out of me. I did not know you could go that low to cheat on your longtime girlfriend now-wife with several of your female staff members but then you're David Letterman. Yet, do not make yourself the victim just because a CBS news producer tried to blackmail you and is now charged with extortion and possible jailed time.



Then, famed Hollywood director Roman Polanski was arrested early last week after skipping his rape trial 30 years ago. How can someone get away with drugging, raping, and anally sodomizing a 13 year-old girl and then leaves the U.S to Europe, but then gets the support of the French intellectual aristocracy and Hollywood actors like Natalie Portman?

Let me play the Devil's advocate. A person bombs U.S federal buildings, killing thousands of Americans in the process. He/she skips his/her sentence and then leaves the country to live in another country as a U.S fugitive. The CIA and the international police manages to arrest him/her after thirty years out on the run. Would you want that person to be punished for the crime that he/she had committed years ago? I bet you won't hear of a support petition in the news. These particular celebrity gossip stories are so complex, I personally do not know who are the main victims.

Hollywood's New Fake Couple

I was quite busy with personal matters yesterday, so I did not get the chance to write any posts. So lets get back with the program! I have "the ugly truth" on the most recent celebrity gossip around. You know the things you wished did not come from David Letterman's big mouth. Let's start with the show:

When I first heard the news about two weeks ago, I was speechless. Remind you, I still am. Khloe and her Lakers hubby Lamar Odom were only dating for a month before somehow Lamar popped the question. I, like with many entertainment journalists and enthusiasts believed that Khloe was jealous that Kourthey was getting all this not much needed attention for his sudden pregnancy that Khloe had to top that off with a million- dollar wedding. Trust me, I have seen enough Khloe and Kourthey, Take Miami and Meet the Kardashians episodes to realize that these three sisters are competitive with one another.

Plus, judging by the body language in the pre-marriage photos between Lamar and Khloe, it does not seem like Lamar or Khloe was ready to get marry. This is just a publicity stunt because at the end Khloe received millions of dollars from tabloids like Life and Style Magazine that took pictures of her wedding day. Now Kim is back with Reggie Bush. Why do I feel Kim will outshine her sisters with a double shotgun wedding and a pregnancy announcement soon? Kim, you are a shrewd business woman.

I am fearless. Policing my body. Fearless without violence. I shall not be silenced anymore. I'm too old for this.

Youtube Gold

Hi everyone. I love comedy. I love watching funny and inspirational YouTube videos. It is my guilty pleasure. I need laughter to bring me out of the bad times and make me smile and feel that I have a purpose in life. Laughter is the best medicine. Like music, comedy is universal and so, today I want to show you some YouTube videos that I thought were raunchy, hilarious, and bluntly honest about popular culture, politics, social interactions, and anything that tries to define us as individuals in this paradoxical world. I think no matter where we all come from, we all need to smile and forgot our troubles and hardships for just one minute. Here we go!

Kevin's 2009 VMA Review:
If you are not a subscriber of The Skorpion Show on Youtube or not into Youtube for that matter, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Skorpion (aka Kevin) is hilarious in this video as he puts into perspective  the whole Kanye West/Taylor Swift and Janet/Beyonce/Lady Gaga controversies at this year's VMA Awards in NYC. Did I say he was a little tipsy?!


MadTV Teased Us Apple Style:
Now, back in the day I was a pretty big Mad TV fan and now that the show is cancelled (tear), I want to show you guys what made Mad TV 100% better than SNL. In this skit, Michael McDonalds mocks Apple CEO's Steve Jobs, the Apple brand, and the former Bush administration in less than 5 minutes!! Now, that is comedy gold in my opinion.                                  


Katt Williams Does It Again!
The first several minutes of Katt Williams's 2008 comedy performance brought tears to my eyes when I saw it last year. And you will laugh your butt off. I guarantee that! Sometimes our hustles have to be poke fun at in order to help us get through the day.


ARE YOU HAPPY NOW !?! 

Social Media/Online Marketing: My Next Passion

Posted by Lady Mel On Wednesday, September 30, 2009 0 comments

I am going to do something differently today. I want to spice this blog things up a bit. Sometimes, criticizing celebrities can make a mad woman go over the top. I have been thinking to do this on and off this summer: social media/online marketing. I am fascinated with social media, from the most simple application to the digital interactions I have with friends and family. It is becoming an obsession of mine.


A close associate of mine (disclosing identity) informed me that especially during this economic recession, you can't always be picky with jobs, you know. She said I should try to expand my options. I resisted at first because I can be a stubborn person sometimes once I set my mind on something. Then I  read this recent New York Post article about the rising unemployment rate for young Americans.(The article can be found here.) Young Americans are now competing with much older, more experienced candidates for job positions, so the level of competition and frustration is staggering.

So as I was heading up to bed last night, I realized that I should expand my options a little. As many of you know, I want to pursue a career in online media. I just applied to this online media internship and I am very excited! (woot me!) Yet, I am very realistic and I will be applying to more jobs/internship opportunities in the future. But online media is such a broad, vague term. I can do so much more within this field. The possibilities are endless. So, I've decided to look into online/social media marketing as another alternative to see what it is all about.

On the side note, if you want to know more about social media marketing, Shama Kabani's video blog is pretty awesome. All the tips and inside scoot on this growing industry can be found on her website here. I am a product of the Internet generation. I am in the forefront in this global movement. I believe I have the communication, writing, and innovative skills to produce a successful career in the world of online media. :)

I'm Taking Out the Trash, Mom!

I, like many bored Americans, love me some good action-packed, tear-jerking, dramalicious (see it's a new word) reality TV shows. Some shows have intrigued us because of the way people really act in front of the camera, while others makes viewers hate the human race all together. So, I have decided to write about the worst of the worst reality TV shows out there. Some should not have been created in the first place. Why wasted my time with stupid antics, boring monologues, and the same crap every year when I could produce my own reality TV series?! So if I were a TV executive, here are the shows I would cancel this fall 2009-2010 TV season:

                                                   THE HILLS
Is this  a real reality TV show? Are they really acting? Wait, they're still on? I recently heard these girls make between $90,000-$125,000 PER episode. Seriously, I know people who have worked their entire lives to support their dreams and families and now are either unemployed or making end's meat in this recession and they don't make that much in a year. I won't consider "TV acting" a profession unless you are actually acting and entertaining the audience. Obviously, they can't. *Sighs* Lame wannabe celebrities, lame fashion line (I'm calling you out Lauren Conrad!), pitiful acting. I'm bored, moving on.

American Idol

This show has had lower ratings this season than the last several seasons. Schizo Paula Abdul is no longer a host on the show. Simon is still the same cheeky bloke. What more do the producers of this show want? I am sick and tired of people auditioning for a chance to become the next American Idol, when 99% can't sing or perform if their lives depended on it. Why waste a plane ticket to Hollywood and suffer  public humiliation when they could be doing something else in their lives? I don't want to hear the same pop music over and over again. There is no originality in music anymore. The King of Pop is dead (RIP MJ) and now music is dead. And don't let me get started with mainstream hip-hop these days. American Idol is just an overrated show, period. 

 VH1 

VH1 is clearly not a TV reality show. It's a popular TV channel. Yet it produces the most trashiest, the most worthless TV programming I have seen in my entire life. I could list them all, but it will take me days to do so. So I am going to list the worse ones below. Some people already know about these picks, but the majority of the American public needs to know the truth! This is not the politics of fear, this is humankind at its lowest denominator imaginable.
I Love Money
          Rock of Love: Charm School
                                            I Love New York
                                            Flavor of Love
                                    Rock of Love with Bret Michaels

See a trend? So, beware of what you watch tonight. What can you do for your country in this moment of this current TV crisis? Don't watch. That way the ratings will drop and those shows will be cancelled for good. I'm not saying that all reality shows are rubbish. One of my favorite shows on right now is Project Runway.  You, the TV consumer, have to decipher true acting talent from the talentless. The power is yours!
