I heart Girls Aloud.

In America, if you were to ask any person "who are Girls Aloud?" they would simply stare at you with no idea. If you were to ask someone in the U.K. the same exact question, you will probably get a better answer familiar to "one of Britain's most successful girl bands today";achieving a string of 20 consecutive Top 10 singles (including four number ones), two number ones albums, and recently won their very first Brit awards (this year) for best single "The Promise." The Girls Aloud consist of Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding, Cheryl Cole, and Kimberley Walsh (same order in picture).


Despite having formed on the ITV1 talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, these girls have come a long way from reality singing stars to wonderful entertainers. They've proved that they can make hits just like any other artists in the music/entertainment world.

Here's a megamix music video of most of their popular songs:
(*enjoy!)


My favorite tracks:
Something kinda Ooh
The Loving Kind
Call the Shots
Sexy no no no
Biology

I heart this year's Academy Awards/Oscars.

I know I'm probably several postings too late, but i felt like sharing today. The Academy Awards/Oscars aired about a week ago and there were plenty of highlights that I enjoyed, and most were of the 8 Oscars that Slumdog Millionaire won (yay!). I thought Hugh Jackman did a good job hosting, especially in the singing and dancing department (*kudos to the rest who joined him as well).

Here are two clips from the Oscars that I thought were quite funny and entertaining:
(*enjoy)

(1) I love Anne Hathaway in this; she was great! (*favorite line: "oh Nixon...")


(2)Once I saw Ben Stiller walk across the stage, I knew that he was going to be hilarious! and i'm glad he was. He did a great job as "Joaquin Phoenix."

I heart Nick Carter's new body.

"Backstreet's back, alright!!!...." and yes he's back. I'm really glad to see that Nick Carter doesn't look like someone who just parties too much. I guess after his diagnosis of having cardiomyopathy, he really got his shit together, and hot damn! What great results!

Here's more on Nick Carter from People Magazine:

SNL - "Angelina Jolie" on Weekend Update

Abby Elliott, new Saturday Night Live cast member, impersonates mother-of-six Angelina Jolie during the “Weekend Update.” I think she did a good job, she's starting to grow on me more. I'm still sad that Amy Poehler left, but at least we still got Kristen Wiig. Anyway, before i forget, here's the SNL video of Abby Elliott being Angelina Jolie (lol, hilarious!)...(*enjoy)
