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!

Blurred Lines

I once dated a musician.  From that experience I learned never to date musicians.  This isn’t an uncommon reaction.  Unless you are 22ish this will likely be the conclusion you come up with if you ever date a musician.  From my experience with the breed, there is a narcissistic quality that is really necessary for success.  I’m sure there are exceptions to the rule … but not many.  Now let’s face it.  I’m not fooling anyone into thinking I’d be a good “band girlfriend” no matter what kind of personality disorder the dude may or may not have.  If asked to be in charge of the email sign up list my answer would be an immediate, “no” before sipping my gin and tonic at the bar.  After parties make me physically ill so I rarely attend.  I don’t care how good a gig was a person can only take so much inflated ego stroking before she wants to jump off a balcony.  My least favorite quality of this breed is the inability to take non-positive feedback and advice.  Much like other creative folks and non-creative folks that run companies, there is a sea of “yes men” ready to kiss some serious ass.  Yes men are dangerous.  Yes men don’t help, and they often hurt. I am in no way a “yes man.”   All this points to the fact that I’d be a HORRIBLE manager.  Well I’d be a great manager but I wouldn’t have any clients.

Now … on to my point of this blog.  I’m OBSESSED with Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines song (featuring T.I. and Pharrell Williams). Now before we go any further I think you need to listen to the song (click below or just turn your radio to a pop station.  It’s probably playing.):

Catchy right?  I love a good pop song.  It reminds me of a Shaggy song and I heart Shaggy.  His tunes are still regulars to my iTune mixes.  With any good pop song you really can’t dig into the lyrics too much or you will lose respect for the song.  I’m good with, “… you wanna hug me? … what rhymes with hug me? …” because that just makes me giggle every time.  I’m just not hip to the lack of female respect lines like, “… I’ll give you something to tear your ass in two …”  WHAT?  OUCH?  THAT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE FUN AT ALL!!!!  STAY AWAY FROM MY ASS T.I.!!!!

Now my favorite part and most confusing part of this entire obsession is my inability to get over the video.  Have you seen the video?  Oooohhhh you are in for a treat.  There are two versions but here is the one that is a zinger (NSFW):

WTH JUST HAPPENED?  SERIOUSLY …. WHAT WAS THAT???

Here is how this video pitch would have gone if I was in charge:

Me:  Where’s Robin.

Yes Man:  Mr. Thicke is in the other room.  You will be talking through me.

Me:  Great!  Can’t wait!  It seems we have pitched a dozen or so ideas for the video to Robin and he has shot down all of them.  I wanted to meet face-to-face (sigh) to get his feedback so we can move on with a successful collaboration.

Yes Man:  Mr. Thicke wants to be sexy.  He wants to trend.  He wants to be hot.

Me:  Of course he does.  I tell you what.  Why don’t we just have him prance around the room with naked chicks.

Yes Man:  Let me bring that idea to Mr. Thicke (leaves the room).

Me: (To the others in the room)  He knew I was kidding right?

Yes Man:  (returns) Mr. Thicke loves that idea.  He feels like you are finally getting him.  His only problem is he wants to “trend.”

Me:  Does he know what that means?

Yes Man:  He knows he wants it.

Me:  So no.  He has no idea what that means.  Fuck it …. we will just put #THICKE in big fat ass red letters over the entire fucking video.

Yes Man:  Let me take that to Mr. Thicke (leaves the room.)

Me:  Is it too early for a cocktail?

Yes Man:  (returning) Mr. Thicke says, “right on.”

Me:  Great!  Let’s get this masterpiece of art made! (sigh)

I read an article where Robin Thicke said his wife made him do the video with naked chicks.  This is how I feel that conversation went:

Mr. Thicke: I’m doing a video with naked models hanging all over me.

Ms. Thicke:  Great.  Now you can’t question why the pool boy comes by everyday instead of once a week.

There is a non naked version of the video for those uncultured folks at MTV and YouTube, but it isn’t nearly as fascinating.  Don’t get me wrong … that guy can prance.  He is king prancer!  Puts Adam Levine in his Moves Like Jagger video to shame.

Here is the part I have a hard time admitting to myself … he’s hot … I like him … despite everything I just typed … I need help.  Admitting it is the first step.
