All star...

Song of the day - I'll Be Waiting by the eternally fabulous Adele

So first and foremost...
Did anyone happen to catch any glimpses of the NBA All-star celebrity basketball match the other day?
Urgh, it's instances such as those that make me wish I was one of them.
Well actually, I nearly always wish I was one of them.
So there I am, casually chirpsin' on Tumblr and I see pictures of Beyonce, Drake, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Jay-Z, Keri Hilson, Kanye West, Lil' Wayne, John Legend, Bruno Mars, Ciara - just to name a few - at the NBA All-star match! Anyone else bare jel?!
Actually, looking back on that list, can anyone spot the odd one out? ;D
Ah, poor JB, just a white boy from Canada. Not that makes me any less in love with him.
Anyways, I only made this post to identify and point out the fact that Beyonce's shoes were once again, GORGEOUS. I mean glittery Louboutins... What girl doesn't want!
Also that RiRi is rocking the long hair again, and once again making the entire female population of the earth envious of her pins.
Oh and that Ciara looked like a drag queen. Sorry Ciara, those shoes? Hell no. 
Actually, can I just go back to the topic of Rihanna for a second? See Rihanna performed at the All-star match, and because of the fact that it's supposed to be a 'family event' and that she grabbed her crotch at one point and danced in her naturally Caribbean-like manner, it was said that her performance was so provocative and sexual that most critics described it as disgusting. Seriously people? This is Rihanna. And it was her 23rd birthday. Let her live. Plus, she's from the islands - they can all move like that, and if I could I definately would. Maybe it's because I'm a RiRi fan but, in my opinion there's no greater way to get back at the haters than just pissing them off all together. Plus, it was not even that bad, at all. You can watch her performance here - Drake's alteration of the 'What's My Name' rap for Rihanna is totally cute!

Also, how cute does Justin Bieber look in a basketball uniform!
*swoon*
Actually, while I'm on the topic of him, does everyone know that he's cut his hair, like really short? The hair flip is gone, and the hair is being auctioned off for charity. Urgh, he's so giving. Anywho, that is all that I will say on the matter because otherwise I'll become crazy...

And in other news, did anyone catch this week's Glee episode?
I quite enjoyed it actually, Gweneth Paltrow was looking foine, and at almost forty as well!
I hope I look like that at 40.
Does anyone else reckon that if they were a single 30 something teacher they would totes go for Mr Schue?
Because I think I would!
Well, he is ab-ulous ;D 

So many boys keep on begging for my time...

Song of the day: Latika's Theme by A.R . Rahman (from the soundtrack for Slumdog Millionaire)

Song that will never ever be song of the day: All These Boys by Jasmine Villegas. I am loath to call it music.

So, y'all recently saw Christine's list of the fifteen best looking celebritaaaays. IN HER OPINION. Now, I know appearance isn't everything... but all these men are talented too! I mean, it just so happens that a lot of singers/actors seem to be extraordinarily handsome.

Me and Christine were originally going to write this list together. But it turns out, she has some crazy crush on Chris Brown. For starters, I think his voice is the most annoying thing ever, always have. And I don't think he is at all attractive! So yeah, that was a major obstacle. But also, and I know everyone says that we should put this incident behind us blahblahblah, I just cannot take him seriously as an artist after the whole Rihanna debacle. Tbh, it amazes me that other people can! And what amazes me more, is that being a nice person gets you nowhere. For example, look at Leona Lewis. Perfectly lovely and an amazing singer, but regarded as dull, and thus less successful than perhaps she should be. (I confess, her music is pretty much all the same, but whatevs.) Whereas Chris Brown has bounced back from a serious assualt conviction, and had a Top 10 single. I just don't get it. So yeah, that ended the notion of a joint list. No offence Christine, I don't mean to insult your taste in boys ;)

(Eva Wiseman sort of sums up what I think in a less embittered and enraged way: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/20/chris-brown-rihanna-violence-volatile)

ANYWAY. This was supposed to be a light-hearted list of hot fellas. I will oblige. Interestingly, me and Christine have exactly the same top five, but in a different order. 

Without further ado, I present 'My List Of Fifteen Men Who I Think Are Really Damn Good Looking':

1. Zayn Malik (he is Number One because he is a little more in my age range, which makes him instantly so much more attractive)
2. Jake Gyllenhaal (who clearly likes younger women, so you know, I have a shot)
3. Chace Crawford
4. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
5. Justin Bieber
6. Nick Grimshaw (last minute replacement for Zac Efron after I realised I just don't think he's that amazing anymore)
7. Matt Lanter
8. Shia LaBoeuf
9. James Franco
10. Channing Tatum
11. Luke Pasqualino
12. Tinie Tempah (fyi, his real name is Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu, Jr - I see why he changed it, Tinie Tempah just rolls off the tongue a little better, you know?)
13. Chad Michael Murray
14. Enrique Iglesias
15. Lucien Laviscount (Jonah off of Waterloo Road)

(After the top five, the notion of ranking them flew out the window. Regard them as pretty much equal.)

And my lifetime acheivement award goes to David Beckham! Keeping the name of hotties alive for 36 years.

And because I have too much time, feast your eyes on each and every one of them...

You know you love us,

And because what we love is not ourselves, but a spot of healthy competition, tweet us/facebook us/leave a comment saying whose list you preferred? And if you say Christine's, I will hunt you down. Just so you know.  Mwah!

It's raining men...

...Hallelujah!
And no, I didn't have to just Google how to spell hallelujah ;D *shifty eyes*
Song of the day - Hey Soul Sister by Train (so old but so good!)

Anyways, today's post is a new segment, which I have a feeling will be a favourite of mine - considering I already have a 'Wank Bank' on Facebook...
It's our list of the Top 30 sexiest men alive ;D Celebs ofc (no offence to you DGS boys, but yanoe, at the moment you're just not cutting it).

But you see the thing is...
Me and Ella don't always agree, and there were certain guys that I loved, that she just did not want on there. So we came to a compromise, and decided to list our top 15 each.
So here's mine, compliments of me, including pictures of my top 3 - enjoy! (:


Christine's Top 15 Sexiest Men (including a lifetime achievement award)...
1. Jake Gyllenhaal

So congrats to all you boys who made the cut, and as for those who didn't... better luck next year!
Feast your eyes ladies...

Mhmm Honey B...

Song of the day - Born this way by Lady Gaga. I don't care if it's a wannabe Madonna single, she's fabulous.

...Well yes, most of us have probably heard it - but if you hadn't heard it, then I guess you heard it here first ;D Even though reports and rumours have not been confirmed, Beyonce has apparently bleached her skin!!

Does this shock anyone else but me?
I though Beyonce was a strong, independant black woman, and that she was honestly the type of role model that would encourage women to be happy with themselves no matter their race, tone or shape etc.
I honestly looked up to her so much, it was almost upsetting to hear about. It's not like I have anyone else to tell me I'm beautiful and to be myself do I... #forever alone, ha.

Anyways, some people are passing it off as just a trick of the light - what do you guys think?
Whatever the weather, those $1,021/£635(!!!!!) jade suede Daffodile heels by Christian Louboutin are possibly one of the most gorgeous pairs of shoes I have ever seen...

You know you love us,
xoxo

All the dresses.

Song of the day - Turning Tables by Adele (one of many stunning songs on her new album 21)

STOP PRESS: for some reason, the theme has cut out the fourth image on the pictures. Just click on them and you can see the full picture. And Chrissie, we gotta sort that out! 

As you guys probably know, it's award season in the music, film and TV worlds. Whether you were lucky enough to snatch up a ticket, or you just watched the events from the comfort of your own home, you have to admit that the fashion this year was fierce, and there were a lot of lovely ladies in gorgeous gowns. And a lot of gorgeous guys too, but we'll get to that later ;D
Anyways, the Golden Globes are long gone, so let's skip straight on to the 53rd annual Grammy Awards - music's biggest night, so you would assume that the dresses would be mind-blowingly extravagant wouldn't you? Ah, I must say, I was a bit disappointed with this years fashion choice by some people. While there were some interesting fashion choices...(Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga I'm looking at you...) a lot of people thought inside the box and being honest their dresses weren't too stunning. In my opinion the Golden Globes were a lot more glamorous. However, some people did blow me away. I think Selena Gomez looked gorgeous in her J Mendel dress and Lorainne Schwartz jewellery, and Jennifer Hudson rightly working her new, beautiful body in a Versace dress, Neil Lane jewellery and always classic Louboutins. And did anyone hear her sing? It honestly brought tears to my eyes :') *flicks the tear*
And as for Jennifer Lopez...
Yeah, I love you and everything J-Lo, but erm... you're 41, not 14.
That Emolio Pucci dress just was not doing anything for you.
Love the Christian Louboutins though!
I did enjoy the Grammy's though, all in all - especially the performances, and especially Rihanna, Usher, Lady Gaga and Jayden Smith and Justin Bieber - but don't even get me started on how robbed Justin Bieber was of Best New Artist...
I'm sure Ella has a completely different opinion from me on all of this, but she can voice that later ;D

|

(Selena Gomez, Jennifer Hudson, Amber Perry, Rihanna, Sara Bareilles, Nicole Kidman, Natasha Bedingfield, Miranda Lambert, Keri Hilson, LeAnn Rimes, Kathy Griffin, Jenna Ushkowitz, Hayley Williams, Florence Welch, Esperanza Spalding, Ciara, Bar Rafaeli, Kim Kardashian, Lea Michele, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Hudson)

'I'm sure Ella has a completely different opinion from me on all of this, but she can voice that later ;D'
 
Indeed I do, and indeed I will. Well not completely different, although I really don't think Bieber was robbed. It would have been schweet if he'd have won something, but I just youtubed Esperanza Spalding, and let me just say, SHE ROCKS. Her voice is a teeny bit like Corinne Bailey Rae, although the music's kinda different. And her dress/hair was flyyyyyyy. Plus, is that not the coolest name ever?

I am really not down with this whole dress-split-up-the-thigh look - it is the least classy thing, ever.  Kim, Lea and Ciara, I'm looking at you guys; the dresses would all look so much better without that hideous rip! And I agree with Christine about Jenny from the block; I can practically see her ovaries! Although, if you got it, flaunt it ;D Not totes feeling Natasha Bedingfield's look either, I like the hair, and the dress is okay, but it's just not working for me! And there are no words for Hayley Williams' get-up. Someone please find something positive about it because I am really struggling.

J-Hud however looks fabuloso! She has lost a hell of a lot of weight though, and I did love her curves <3 But of course, she looks just as amazing now, in her beautiful dress. LOVE HER. Amber Perry also working it for the curvy girls, she looks gorgeous. How does Rihanna manage to have so much flesh on show and still look pretty damn classy? That is a serious skill! Selena Gomez looks pretty as always, and Florence Welch (sans Machine) looks lovely! Sara Bareilles and Miranda Lambert show that a simple, elegant dress can look just as good, and although I'm not a huge fan, Keri Hilson works the short dress best in my opinion. So. Now you know what I think!

You know you love us,
xoxo


WAIT.
Can we hear it for the fellas? Firstly Justin Bieber. Now me+Christine may be a little biased, due to our serious cases of Bieber Fever. But the boy worked a white tux like no-one I've ever seen!

 And secondly, Cee-Lo Green. I love this guy. Huge red, blue and yellow feathers. Oversized sunglasses. Jewelled headcap thing. And a metal sixteen-pack! I'm telling you, every guy should dress like this.
