For the past couple of weeks, I get really hype when I am running in the mornings and “You Belong With Me” by Taylor Swift funnels its way through my iPod shuffle and courses through my veins.
Now, I have found that her modern day Romeo and Juliet pop country tune “Love Story” gives me [...]

John Park only hinted at the “I’m-in-an-Asian-family-therefore-my-parents-want-to-be-an-engineer/doctor-excuse” so that doesn’t make him the annoying typical reality show competition Asian boy.
With his emo/preppy Pete Wentz bangs and his bellowing baritone, Park made waves in his audition in Chicago a couple weeks ago – and he made Shania Twain get all hot and bothered with her phallic [...]

J.J. Abrams is my hero. One day, I will write a script and he will direct it.
Does that sound too stalker-ish?
Anyways…second to Lost, I will be forever grateful that he created the lovelorn series titled Felicity – mainly because the gang on that TV show started college around the same time I did. It’s like [...]

Barney Stinson. Musical number. Choreography. Suits.
It’s about damn time they utilized NPH’s musical chops – and with a sartorial angle at that. Two of my favorite things combined into one.
Besides the brilliant closing musical number, this had to be one of the best episodes yet. Tim Gunn played Barney’s tailor (hence the performance of “Nothing [...]

Well, he kind of showed us his six-pack.
Tonight, stars of New Moon, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz were welcomed by throes of “Twi-hard” fans at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco.
First they stopped by Nordstrom and then they went on to the Goth headquarters of all that is Twilight, Hot Topic and they ended the [...]

I was actually kinda nervous about the Jay-Z and U2 collabo at the MTV European Music Awards, but after Hova got into the groove with Bono and company, it made perfect sense:
U2 – New Music – More Music Videos
I must admit, there was a moment where I was expecting Lil’ Mama to jump up on [...]

Julia Stiles has never made me laugh in any of her movies. Well, there was her role in the Bourne series, but I don’t think that was supposed to make me laugh. Then there is that one scene in 10 Things I Hate About You where she recites that poem. Again, I don’t think that’s [...]

It seems that the peeps at the Sundance Channel are lovin’ these fashion documentaries. First, they found success with the Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton doc and now they have created a whole series called Man Shops Globe, which follows Keith Johnson, the buyer-at-large for Anthropologie while he shops around the world trying to find [...]

First thing in my head this morning:
I don’t know how this happened, but I am so glad it did. It’s always good to revisit Al B. Sure! every now and again. It should be a requirement of every U.S. citizen.
And please, when writing his name, please don’t forget the crucial exclamation point. It adds so [...]
