The 2009 Twilight Movie Awards

I feel it necessary to comment on a history-making event that occurred last night, because in a world where GM is filing for bankruptcy, and Air France flights are going missing across the Atlantic, it's important to take time to consider important matters, like how Twilightastic were the MTV Movie Awards last night?

I feel compelled to comment on the movie-awards for some reason, so here we go.

There were a few things that really stuck in my mind from last night:

1. The MTV Movie Awards are now the place to tease your summer blockbuster.
Here are a list of the movies I remember which premiered "exclusive" clips of their upcoming releases:

G.I. Joe
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
Twilight: New Moon
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

2. The Twilight Movie Awards
These movie awards were serious Twilight overload. Twilight cast members swept every category they were nominated for, including Kristen Stewart's win for Best Actress over oscar winners Kate Winslet. Overall Twilight Mentions include:

1. Twilight scene in the intro credits.

2. Robert Pattinson was the first celebrity shown in the crowd as Andy Samberg walked on stage before his opening number, and was by far the most paned to celebrity in the audience.



3. Andy Samberg saying "If you played Edward Cullen throw your hands in the air" in the beginning number.

4. Andy Samberg just saying the word "Twilight" before introducing a presenter as a "bet."

5. Jim Carrey referencing "the good-looking twilight guy" during his award acceptance

6. If you visit the MTV Awards website, 8 out of 24 pieces of content are Twilight content. That's 30 percent of the page for those of you keeping count at home.

7. Andy Samberg's home-made New Moon trailer

8. Everytime RPatz was on stage they panned to KStew and vice versa.

3. I called almost every winner
Honestly, how rigged are these things? Who even saw "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey? How in gods green earth did I know Miley Cyrus was going to win for best musical performance or whatever the f*ck award she was given? And Ashely Tisdale for best breakthrough? I thought breakthrough awards were given to NEW actors. She was given this award for High School Musical 3 for gods sake.

4. MTV is getting smarter
Andy Samberg said it in the beginning of the show, "Welcome to the MTV Movie Awards, the only awards show that is on tonight!" And what did they do in order to get people to watch? They aired the show right after the season finale of The Hills--which is totally how I got hooked into watching it.

With that being said, here are a few one-offs I'd like to state.

1. I can't believe Twilight won as many awards as they did.

2. I thought Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's Best Kiss act was really well done.

3. I think Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling did it better.

4. I thought Kristen Stewart sounded less stoner-brat when she accepted her award for Best Actress.

5. And even more stoner brat when she presented the trailer for New Moon.

Could she act any less excited or any more stoned?

6. Eminem looked genuinely upset when this whole charade happened.

But considering that they both have something to promote, I have a feeling it was staged.
Update: Kudos to Eminem for being a good sport.

7. I thought the "Generation Award" given to Ben Stiller was hilarious--I was a little put off by how long Kiefer Sutherland kept up his act. I was also a bit surprised that Ben Stiller took it so well, they pretty much repeated what a terrible actor he was over and over and over again.

That's it. Like I said it was twilight overload, which means I was put in that awkward position of loving and hating it all at the same time.

I would like to mention though, before I sign off, that three out of my top 4 search keywords in the last week were:



Which means my evil plan worked! I know its not a ton of traffic, but it's still pretty funny right?

It Hurts So Good. Yes it Does

Season two of True Blood is on it's way in June and I'm super excited! This promo from HBO is a little camp, but I love it.

Dr. Kutner to work for Obama?

I thought April Fool's Day was over. No, seriously when I saw this posted on Jezebel I thought it was a joke but sure as shit Kal Penn is "leaving House to work at the White House."

I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House. I got to know the President and some of the staff during the campaign and had expressed interest in working there, so I'm going to be the associate director in the White House office of public liaison. They do outreach with the American public and with different organizations. They're basically the front door of the White House. They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House. It's similar to what I was doing on the campaign.

I've been thinking about [moving into politics] for a while. I love what I do as an actor. I couldn't love it more. But probably from the time I was a kid, I really enjoyed that balance between the arts and public service. I went to a performing arts high school, but I still took a bunch of those dorky political science classes. It's probably because of the value system my grandparents instilled in me. They marched with Gandhi in the Indian independence movement, and that was always in the back of my head. So the past couple of years I thought about it a little m...ore. And in '06 I started this international studies program at Stanford, where they actually let you do most of the course work online. So it was something I could do while I was acting. And I thought this might be the right time to go off and do something else.

So there you have it. You can read the full account at the Huffington Post. Say goodbye to Kal Penn, Dr. Kutner and hello to Kal Penn Associate Director in the White House Office of whatever the f*ck. I'm sure you'll do a great job in the Obama Administration, but you will be missed at Princeton-Plainsboro.

Kristen Stewart is a ________

This man says everything I myself think about Kristen Stewart.

George Smoot on The Big Bang Theory

McDreamy is Raskolnikov

I'm reading Crime and Punishment right now--and don't get me wrong it's an amazing book and I'm really enjoying it--but I really want to be reading Jane Eyre. I came to this realization when I was creating my reading lists from past and present (take a look at the right!), and found the DVD of Jane Eyre featuring Anna Paquin as Young Jane.

I love Anna Paquin, more so now that I'm obsessed with True Blood, and I'd like to re-read the book (one of my favorites) and watch her in the movie to see how she was when she was little (I've seen it once before but I wanna watch it again!).



So, I was looking through amazon for Crime and Punishment (same reason as stated before) and discovered that Patrick Dempsey played Raskolnikov in TV series version of Crime and Punishment! I shit you not. Sir Ben Kingsley was in it too, he played Porfiry. I'm so watching this once I finish the book.

Polygamist Chic

That is how I would describe my outfit today.

Jeff Bezos has an amazing laugh

Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com, was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Monday to talk about the release of the Kindle 2. He was a really good sport and didn't mind that Jon Stewart tried in every way possible to make the Kindle 2 look like an exorbitant piece of technology. AND to top it all off, he has an amazing laugh. Check it out for yourself.

Interview with the Residents of Bon Temps

I stumbled upon these on youtube. Interviews with Sookie, Sam, Vampire Bill, Lafayette and all the rest.

Then when you're done with these you can watch this.

What it's like to be a woman

"It's not my job to make you a better man, and I don’t give a shit if I've made you a better man. It's not a fucking woman's job to be consumed and invaded and spat out so that some fucking man can evolve.

What I want is for you to write fuck me on your chest. Write it. Do it. And then I want you to walk out that door and walk down the street. And anybody that wants to fuck you say sure, sure no problem, and when they do you have to say thank you very, very much and make sure that you have a smile on your face and then you stupid fucking coward you're going to know what it feels like to be a woman."

-Jenny, The L Word

Your Dream Wedding

I've been writing Quixotic postings lately haven't I? Oh well...here is another one.

Everyone has a dream wedding. Even if you are married and had a fantastic time at your reception, in the back of your mind since you were young you had an idea of how the perfect evening would go for you. I thought I would share mine.

I'm a big fan of banquet tables and small parties, open spaces and live music. For the reception I'd like a big table, kind of like what they do at the Endless Feast.



I'd also like it to be at night. Lots of small lights would sparkle in the trees around the dinner table. There would be hanging candles, crystals and flowers in them as well.



I'd want good food and dancing. Friends and Family. It sounds perfect.

I've already had two weddings, but I'd love to have a third for my friends and family in the U.S. who couldn't make it to Bulgaria last year. So, maybe sometime in the future. We'll see...

How do you picture your perfect wedding?

I don't need it, but I WANT IT! YSL Star Necklace

Thanks to the girls over at Fashionista for pointing out this star necklace from YSL.

I could never afford it, but if I bought it I would just stare at it all day.

It reminds me of Rainbow Brite and happiness.

I think I need a facial...

A GOLD FACIAL.

Are you serious? Didn't you watch that episode of House when that woman poisoned her husband with gold dust?

HELLLOOOO!

You can read more about the benefits of a "Precious Metal" Facial at Sephora's Beauty and the Blog.

Project Runway, Season Four Premiere

I knew this day would come. I've been trying to forget, to put it at the back of my mind, but everywhere I go there are countdowns and banners screaming at me, saying, "Are you in, or are you out."

The day we decided not to order a cable service at our new apartment was the same day I had to come to terms with not being able to watch my favorite show. Days fells off the calendar, with the passing of each I knew I was getting closer and closer to the Project Runway Season Four Premiere.

Now here I am, eager, nearly desperate to watch my favorite show in it's new season but I don't know what I'm going to do. Bravo is the ONLY channel we watch that doesn't stream full episodes online.

Will somebody, anybody record them for me? Let me come over and watch? PLEASE! I WANT TO BE IN! I WANT TO BE IN!
