Hedley & Cory Monteith on MOD!

Friday, November 20th, 2009

MOD!

Hello, everyone! My name is Sydney, and I’m one of the new MuchMusic blog correspondents!

Yesterday, I got the awesome opportunity to go to MuchMusic HQ for a very special MuchOnDemand with Cory Monteith & Hedley! I, for one, am a huge fan of both Glee & Hedley, so I knew this was gonna be a great show!

My cousin Alex & I scored a perfect spot behind where the VJs do their interviews. Before we went live, the Floor Directors took us through a series of rehearsals & procedures, just to make sure everything was right. Once we went live, the energy from the audience tripled. You could tell we were all super stoked to see Cory & Hedley up close!

ANTM Finale Recap

Who is the winna....

And the winner is… BLOODY EYEBALL!

Over the course of this season’s America’s Next Top Model, we have witnessed some top model firsts! From having three permanent judges to guaranteed spots for models in the next round to narrowing down the finalists from four to two! The biggest first was of course PETITE MODELS! Girls under the 5’7” mark were allowed to try out for the first ever petite Top Model cycle. Who knew the much shorter girls were the weirder girls as we got Laura, the farm girl with dyslexia from Stanford, Kentucky standing at 5’6” and Nicole, the social outcast who ate lunch in the washroom stalls at school from Louisville, Colorado standing at 5’7” as the top two finalists of this season.

Canadian Talent + Half Decade = WIN!

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Maffoofoo's Top 5

In case you haven’t already noticed, MuchMusic LOVES Canadian bands. I too love Canadian bands. In fact, I truly believe that Canadian bands trump all American, Scottish (-FF), Aussie, and even El Salvadorian bands. I mean, we seriously have so much talent, whether it is recognized worldwide or not.

The point that I’m really getting at is… if you take (in my opinion) the five best Canadian albums of the past 5 years and compare them to some popular albums from the places listed (especially El Salvador), it is clear that we pwn those n00bs. To give you a tasteling of what I mean, I invite you to search up, listen to, and love the best five Canadian albums of the past five years! >:]

Living Like The Cullens

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

I want to go to there.

I’m pretty sure it’s almost every teen girl’s dream to say, “Omg! Edward Cullen walked the halls of my house” or “Ahhh! Emmet Cullen touched the walls of kitchen” or even “Bella Swan totally had her birthday party in my living room!” Well now that dream can become a reality. That’s right Twilighters; the Cullen house from The Twilight Saga: New Moon, located in Vancouver, BC, is now up for sale and it can be yours for only… $3, 298, 000. That’s a lot of dog walking, house cleaning and dish doing, but it’s well worth it. The house is amazing. It’s everything you imagine a vampire house would be with rooms like: a Media Room, a “Hobby” room, and even an outdoor pool and hot tub. That’s right, a “hobby” room. So, Good luck to all, I hope at least one of you has good persuasion skills. For pics you want to show your parents when trying to convince them to buy it, go to the website below:

Maison de la Vampires

Remember, The Twilight Saga: New Moon comes out this Friday, November 20th, but you probably knew that already!

Leighton Meester: Sing…er?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
Blair/Leighton

Blair/Leighton

Leighton Meester, better known as Blair Waldorf, has previously stated that one of her true passions is music. Upon hearing this, critics, fans and the general public thought one thing only: Where can I buy ear plugs?

Most people were expecting a Heidi Montag situation. Cheesy music with half-assed lyrics. But when Cobra Starship came out with their song “Good Girls Go Bad”, everyone was wondering: who is that girl singing? That, my friends, is Miss Leighton Meester herself. She’s featured on one of the hottest songs of the year, and along with that, she has her own music coming out soon.

Gossip Girl Goes Gaga

Monday, November 16th, 2009

gaga1

I’m fairly certain that last Monday I was not the only one in a threesome induced coma. Duff and Szohr getting it on in Gossip Girl was so shocking that the prospect of the aftermath unfolding the following week made me believe that it had the potential to become the most epic episode in GG history. I didn’t even realize at the time how true that statement could be. Yes my friends, on this week’s episode The Last Days of The Disco Stick, Lady Gaga is set to perform her new single “Bad Romance”.

Lady Gaga, whose 17-year-old sister convinced her to do it, will be the third musical cameo of the season. A month ago, Sonic Youth performed at Rufus and Lily’s wedding and The Plasticines performed at last week’s cotillion ball.

After hearing this amazing news on gossipgirlinsder.com (my homepage, naturally) I began obsessively googling all the spoilers. While I didn’t watch the sneak peaks as I refuse to ruin the episode, here are the clues I’ve gathered about what to expect:

Dumpster Diving for Twilight

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Hellloooo??? Taylorr???

I don’t know about you guys and gals, but If I found the sequel script for Twilight, I would have not returned it without full benefits. (cough, what would you do?) But it seems like Casey Ray is paying much more for her ‘good’ deed.

Owner of a beauty store in St. Louis, Missouri, Ray was waiting around for her fiancee when she spotted two film scripts in a dumpster nearby. One labeled “Memoirs” and the other, “New Moon”, which hits theaters next Friday. The multimillionaire dollar company behind the ever-so-popular movie production based on Stephine Meyer’s Twilight offered the female two tickets for the movie premiere for both movies as well as after-party access.

The Hills - Recap (Ep 17)

Friday, November 13th, 2009

We're so fancy.

Lights, camera, action. Add tons of drama, cat fights and hair extensions and you’ve got MTV’s hit reality show, The Hills.

With the arrival of Miss Kristin Cavallari, The Hills has been shaken up a bit. But for the viewers, it hasn’t been a good turn out. Ratings for this season have dropped 30% since the departure of Lauren Conrad, and they’re strugging to bring the next season to television. And I’m here to get your opinion with my weekly recap of the show!

Tuesday night’s episode of The Hills started off with Kristin and Brody going to dinner and discussing Brody’s current romantic situation with his on-again off-again girlfriend, Playboy Playmate, Jayde Nicole. Brody jokingly told Kristin she was being pretty flirtatious, and continued to laugh it off. In my own personal opinion, that was Brody’s way of playing off the situation, when we all know that he wants to get with Kristin, he just doesn’t want to be too up front about it for fear of hurting his bad-boy image.

The City - Recap (Ep 20)

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Citayyy

At the beginning of the episode, Kelly calls a staff meeting, which begins with Kelly scolding Roxy, implying that if she keeps her attitude up, she will be fired. Also throwing in some mentions of the recession, Kelly is trying to think positive for the world, but all Roxy did was whisper to ask someone for a pen. Come on, Kel! Lighten up!

Continuing in the meeting, Kelly begins to discuss a business trip to Miami for Fashion Week to work on a swimsuit show. Kelly suggests bringing Whitney along for the ride, in which Roxy decides to start making little faces at Kelly, hoping to get chosen to go as well. In response to that, Kelly says, “And then we could bring her partner in crime that she’s training,” in which case, Roxy puts a big smile on her face, knowing that yet again, she got what she wants.

Let’s Not Forget About Franz, Mmkay.

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Not unusual for Alex to levitate.

Knowing you/Canada as a whole, you’ve most likely heard “Take Me Out” or “Do You Want To”, two of Franz Ferdinand’s biggest (and what some people would say - only) hits. Nod if the previous statement completely and utterly defines you as a human being in your entirety. Exactly. Nah! - what I’d really like to do is explain why the (incredibly, fantastically) talented band, Franz Ferdinand, is really all that.
