(For some reason the videos aren’t embedding correctly.  My head hurts too much to try and fix it.  Please click on the links to view and just pretend they look good on this page.)

I’ve had a headache for over a week and pain when I breathe.  I’m pretty confident I have a collapsed lung and a brain tumor.  I suppose I should go see a doctor but that is so painfully boring so instead I’ll write this blog post!

You are used to me telling you about people who annoy me so I thought I’d give you a few recent examples of people being adorable.  When I say “people” I mean celebrities because they are all that really matters.

* Adam Lambert on Ellen – I don’t usually watch Ellen and I don’t watch American Idol so I was in for quite a surprise when I turned on the TV and happened to run across Mr. Lambert guest DJing on Ellen.  Honestly short of screaming his song “Whataya Want From Me” while driving (it’s a great song to sing/scream along to) I don’t really know Adam Lambert’s music but that’s ok.  Between his daytime talk DJing and that song he gets my “Cute as a Button” award.  Just watch this clip of him on Ellen and you will know why.  Isn’t he just sweet and adorable?  Super heart him.

* Drake on SNL – Much like Mr. Lambert I’m not really familiar with Drake’s music and I’ve all but given up on SNL.  I still record it but then usually fast forward through about 80% of it.  Not the night Drake hosted.  I was hooked after his monologue.  Give it a view … isn’t he just adorable?  He easily outshined most SNL hosts skit after skit.  Watch out LL Cool J, Drake may be my new favorite acting rapper (just kidding LL … you will always be my number one).

* Pharrell Williams – I can think of two songs that Pharrell sings on but whenever I see his name come up on my iTunes I’m all in.  Reason number one is that he is adorable.  First of all his is hilarious in the Blurred Lines video.  I’m talking the dirty nudie video not the “safe for YOUTUBE” version.  Robin Thicke is so creepy you want to go take a Silkwood shower just from watching him.  TI makes you which that chastity belts (with a really strong lock) were back in fashion.  Pharrell you want to cuddle and cover in kisses.  It’s like no one told him the idea behind the video before he showed up (essentially naked women walking around fully dressed singers) then they called action and he just lost his mind and can’t stop thinking “LOOK BOOBIES!!!”  Only Pharrell can look cute in a snappy happy rape song video.  Sure Pharrell wore a ridiculous hat to the Grammys.  Apparently it was an homage to some old school hip hop video.  I don’t care what it is.  I think he pulled it off and I love him more for it.

* Vin Diesel – Oh  you know I love Vin!  Love love love love love love Vin.  Remember when Riddick came out and I was all a flutter?  Well apparently Riddick hit number one on the EVD charts.  I don’t know what that is but I agree it deserves a celebration.  A celebration in the form of a Vin dance!  I mean please … be cuter … Riddick 4 Ever!

Chronicles of Riddick, Dog, Pitch Black, Riddick, Vin Diesel

Riddick and his puppy – source

The first time I saw the trailer for the new Riddick movie I was giddy.  I LOVE Riddick.  I’ll often reference Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick in normal everyday conversation and the responses I get are questioned looks and sympathetic nods (as in she is crazy just nod at what she is saying).  I thought the movies were done and over with but I was wrong and Riddick was coming back!

Before I get to the movie that I happily bounced into during the first screening this morning, let me get you caught up with me.  Today my body said “NO MORE.”  There was going to be no hiking and working out today.  I took the dogs to the dog park and cancelled my Bar Method class.  I’m having one of those days that reminds you that you are old.  Everything hurts.  I have bruises everywhere.  I’m not sure from what exactly.  The dogs, my life, aliens, all the above.  I also manged to skin/bruise my knee while delivering food for Paws/LA last night.  It was one of those moments when you just feel sorry for yourself. “Why Karma,” I screamed, “I’m doing something nice damn it!”  As I fell down, for absolutely no reason, I knew it looked bad because I made eye contact with a guy walking by and he yelled, “OH MY GOD” and ran to help me.  I’d like to say that I tripped in a giant pothole but alas I just fell down.  Yesterday I also managed to tweak my neck/upper back area doing some move wrong in Bar Method.  Add to that the moves in Bar Method were a little different so lots of muscles I don’t usually work hurt.  The “dancers dent,” as my instructors call it (the side of your ass) is in serious pain.  My lats and side abs (I don’t know the names for those) are screaming.  Finally my abs want to give up all together.  Oh well … nothing a little Mortrin, Bengay, and margaritas (which I’m having tonight) can’t fix!

Now back to Riddick.  Since I was out of action it was the perfect day for a movie.  I walked in with my head held high and squished down into my seat in my movie attire (that looks like my everyday attire but add a hoodie) ready to enjoy movie number 3!  Was it good?  I liked it.  I think if you like the Riddick movies you will like it.  If you don’t like the Riddick movies who will have a lot of bad things to say about it but don’t say them to me.  You are the idiot who went to go see a movie I told you that you wouldn’t like.

Ready!  Start the movie!

Ready! Start the movie!

I had done my homework and re-watched Chronicles of Riddick prior to the big day.  Not necessary.  The only thing that you have to remember is that at the end of that movie he becomes the leader of the Necromongers (bad guys) due to their “kill it you keep it” rule.  Spoiler.  Although the movie came out in 2004 so really get with the program.  There is actually a bigger tie to Pitch Black but even that you eventually figure out if you forgot it.  The best part of the movie?  Riddick is back and this time he has a puppy!  Well it’s more of an angry zebra/pissed off hyena on steroids hybrid but dog-like.  RIDDICK AND A DOG????  IT’S MY DREAM MOVIE!

I have read (and don’t have the best memory so take this next paragraph with a grain of salt) that Universal didn’t want to make the third movie but Vin was determened.  He negotiated getting the rights to the character as his very own for a cameo in one of the Fast and Furious movies.  After that he borrowed money off his house to help with finances.  Someone already said this but I forgot who so I can’t give him credit but I do agree … at a time when stars are asking little ol’ me to give them money to make their movie via Kickstarter and other such things it’s refreshing for an actor to care enough to dig deep and get the money himself.  I have a real issue with Kickstarter (although I’ve happily given money to a number of projects through those type of crowdsourcing sites) but that’s a conversation for another day.  The point of all this is that Vin is an artist and you can’t hold him back!  I just adore him.  He’s so cute and looks like he would be giggily and fun to hang out with (I may be confusing him with Xzibit who I also love).  Plus if we were hiking and I got bit by a rattlesnake he could totally lift me up and carry me back to the car and to safety.  Swoon … I’m convinced he’d love me too and he would leave his wife/girlfriend (I’m not a good enough stalker to know which he has) to live happily ever after with me.

I give the movie 10 stars!  All for Riddick and his puppy!
