OMG you guys! Hi.

The days were going by pretty slowly this week, gossip-wise anyway, when BIF! POW! BANG! We found out that Britney is officially pregnant with bebe number dos. Little Sean Preston is gonna have a sibling, y’all! I’m pushing for girl. This all of course makes us realize that Kevin has fathered four kids in about that many years. People haven’t done that kind of baby makin’ since the olden days! No, wait. T.I. knows about baby’s mamas, apparently.

Speaking of T.I., here’s a salacious tale about his involvement in a threesome. Not that rappers don’t do that kind of thing once in awhile (ha, ha), but it’s pretty interesting considering the fact that he’s supposed to be in a long term relationship with a member of Xscape - and she’s not involved. Scoundrel! Adorable, cheating scoundrel!

Snoop Dogg and his entourage were arrested at Heathrow Airport in London after an altercation involving 3 pit bulls, a bag of weed and a several hoes. Nooo, just kidding, it’s a lot more boring than that. After members of his enourage were denied access to the first class lounge, things got a little ugly and thus, the arrest. Tha Doggfather was released on bail without charge and is currently shameful of his boring criminal behaviour.

Jessica is devastated after Nick’s recent tell-all interviews in which he admitted that he felt “sucker punched” by her decision to divorce him. She didn’t think that he would be so forward about private details, and now she’s apparently heartbroken. Not that she didn’t break his heart already, but that’s neither here nor there.

Mandy Moore’s a little bit embarrassed about her Cosmopolitan magazine cover. See, it says “Orgasms Unlimited” right by her face. And it’s not like she’s a prude or anything, but apparently her parents frame all her covers and put them on a wall, and you know, when grandparents come over they might get a little huffy.

Did you know that Heather Locklear and Denise Richards were close friends? I sure didn’t. How wack is it that Heather and Richie are getting divorced cause Richie done went and fell in love with Denise? Dammit, everybody knows The Rules.

People Magazine’s Most Beautiful People issue hits the stands today, with Angelina on the cover. I, for one, am absolutely SHOCKED that they’ve upped it from 50 people to 100. No, I’m not. I just said that. If you want to feel slightly insecure about yourself, buy the issue!

Lata, foos.

So today is Friday, the last day of my first week. This has been so much fun, I can’t wait to come into work on Monday. I have loved working with all the people here and all the other VJs are absolutely great. I know a lot of people give us VJs a hard time a lot but really guys, they are awesome and do their job well. It’s not as easy as it looks, there is a lot that goes into this whole production.

I’m not complaining at all, I’m thrilled to be here! Really I am still so gratetful to be where I am and thanking you all again just seems like the right thing to do. MOD is amazing fun and I’m also learning a lot just from making mistakes, and the best part about it is laughing at yourself. I have made some small edits with some producers and they are pretty funny, corny at times and lots of fun.

There have been hard things to work through. Living here by myself is different for me, I’ve always had a roommate before so now it’s kinda lonely. I say kinda because everyone has been so nice and welcoming here in Toronto. I always lived close to Toronto so I’m semi familiar with the city, but I want to thank everyone who has come down to MuchMusic or stopped me on the street to say hi or congratulations. It’s meant a lot to me and really helps me settle in here, you guys rock! And not just the people in Toronto, but the ones that read and comment on my blogs, and definitely all the ones that voted me here - wow.

Soooooo I also wanted to tell you guys about yet another band, Rides Again. They are the band I had play at my concert I held as a pep rally/fund raiser. They are amazing and I would love for you guys to listen to them and tell me what you think, and if you have one song of theirs that you like the most. Their web site is ridesagainmusic.com or purevolume.com or myspace.com, so let me know what you think, and leave a comment on their sites. They would love to hear from you guys.

So thanks again everyone, you are all amazing and remember: like what you want to like, be who you want to be, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, because not everyone is going to like you. At the end of the day all you have is yourself, so be true to yourself. Don’t love this band just because I’m asking you to check them out, like them if you like them. I’m just trying to bring new music to your attention, if you like it awesome! Cuz these guys are amazing people as well as musicians. I leave it all up to you!

Yesterday I took part in a teleconference (like a real business woman!!) for America’s Next Top Model, where bloggers could ask Nnenna, who just got booted from the competition, some questions. A lot of people ak’sed her about her boyfriend John, of course. They’re still together, but she’s planning on moving to NYC while he’s moving to LA for a job. Oh, and you know all the drama about Nnenna spending all hours on the phone? Well, she says it was actually only two days of monopoly, not every night like the show led us to believe. Oh, editing! You clever genius.

I asked her if she woulda put money on herself in the beginning, and if not, who? She pointed out that when she auditioned in Houston, her boyfriend had to convince her to stay cause she thought there’d be nooo way that she would make it. When she made top 13, she says she was ecstatic and surprised. In the beginning she was taken by Danielle, Forunda and Jade but thought everyone had something special, and had no clue who would be going home first.

So, yay! That was fun.

So, like, uh, this is what’s going on in the blogs today and stuff.

- Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban set wedding date. You are not invited.
- Supposed arch enemies (?) Pink and Paris Hilton will be meeting up soon enough. My money’s on Pink. It’s the logical choice.
- Mariah liked being hand fed everything so much as a baby that she hired a personal drinking assistant.

I was talking with former Much web nerd Sophie about Tom Cruise’s crazy face. You know, the terrifying laugh/toothy smile that he’s pretty much known for? Anyway, I thought it could be fun to compare Tom and his face to some villains. Yes? No? Yes-ish? I can work with that. Let’s do this sheeeit!

1. Tom and Jack Nicholson from The Shining. I’m pretty sure Tom acts like this in real life - chopping down the bathroom door when Katie sits crying on the toilet for too long. Heeeeere’s Johnny!

2. Tom and Wario. Wario says, “I’m-a Wario! I’m-a gonna win-a!” Tom says, “I’m-a Tom-a! I’m-a gonna win at life-a!”

3. Tom and Green Goblin. They both want Spider-Man to fail, and in Tom’s case it’s because Agent Ethan Whatshisname from Mission Impossible is “a better superhero”. Wrong!

4. Tom and Dr. Evil. They both have evil petting zoos.

5. Tom and Al Pacino. Yessss, Al Pacino is a villain, goddd.

Holy hell, this is ga-reat. You must watch this Nike commercial spoof featuring Tom “fist pump” Cruise. Just do it. No, seriously - do it.

I guess all these tattoos are supposed to be nerdy, but I kind of think most of them are adorable. However, it should be noted that I am also a nerd.

Just in case you’re a little lonely and you’ve seriously contemplated smooching your arm, Protest The Hero have a solution for YOU.

As Rody and Arif mentioned so subtly yesterday on MOD, they plan on having a contest wherein 5 weiners get to choose a member of PTH to make out with. Yes, it’s true - your loftiest dreams can happen, kids.

Hurr’s what’s going on in ze blogs today:

- Nick and Jessica have dinner together. Tuna was not involved. (I know, I know. Enough with the tuna jokes)
- Tom Cruise is kinda thinking that he’d like to shoot a movie with Katie. So it’s official: he no longer cares about his career.
- I guess Paris Hilton’s car is trying to eat her?
- Britney fired her nanny, blaming her for the High Chair Incident (TM).

June 18th, snaggletooths! It’s been announced. TAKE THAT.

To celebrate the coming of MMVA06, here’s a little somethin’ somethin’ that will tickle your fancy if you’re a Family Guy fan. I’m not sure what the two things have to do with each other, but when there’s an opportunity to listen to the resident creepy old man leave messages for a muscly-armed paperboy, you listen.
