YouTube Gem...
Photo Credit: www.youtube.com
The other day while I was goofing around on YouTube, I accidentally stumbled upon my new YouTube obsession, Nick Pitera. Nick has several videos of himself posted, and they are truly amazing. Not only does Nick have a phenomenal voice, but he showcases several songs that are male/female duets in which he sings both parts, and he manages to hit every single note. Nick, a 22 year old originally from Woodbury, Minnesota, is an animation student at the Ringling College of Art and Design. Although he will soon have his degree in animation, Nick says that singing is his true passion. A self-proclaimed amateur, Nick says he doesn’t have much training, but his voice would suggest otherwise! Check out the link below… his range is literally unbelievable.

tis the reason for the season
Is it Christmas yet?!!! Good Lord, the Osbournes are back, and with a variety show. Starting with a Christmas special this winter, Fox is going to be launching the Osbournes’ latest project. The schematics of the show are still pretty open. There are talks of sketch comedy bits, game show segments, and audience participation among other things. Thematically, several of the segments are to play on sibling rivalries and an irreverent father.

While this sounds like a potentially interesting project, it nonetheless seems a bit like a goofy grab for more spotlight for the aging Osbournes. But maybe that’s just in America. Apparently, they’ve held their own in Britain with Sharon hosting “The X-Factor” and Jack with “Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie”. Whatever their motives may be, I really, really want to see what happens.

Out with it.........
We all have that side, that side that doesn’t come up in conversation all too often but shows itself with our closest friends…and lovers. For those of you in the Bay Area, you’re in luck. The verbose folks at Litquake are holding an event in San Francisco’s CELLspace honoring none other than Smut. Other than a steamy fashion show and a bit of burlesque, there will be readings from Bay Area authors with styles ranging from narrative fiction to poetry to song all about smut. And this certainly isn’t your childhood bedtime story (especially since there are drinks). So if you haven’t attended a reading since then, perhaps now is the chance to break that dry spell. Who knows, you’re partner may thank you for it.

the first dior phone!

After several days of rumors, the famed luxurious brand have at last unveiled its new cellular device… The Dior phone.
A little bit more than half a century after having revolutionized the fashion industry with its "New-Look", the fashion monolith built by Christian Dior has faced a new challenge by revealing officially last Wednesday night, in their equally famed store located on avenue Montaigne in Paris, its brand new mobile phone: the Dior phone.
Designed by the teams normally dedicated to the brand "la femme Dior" (the woman Dior), in collaboration with teams from ModeLabs, this Dior phone positions itself (obviously) as a luxurious mobile phone, with the first model worth 3500‚ ($5500). Though the first model has a cover made of Cristal Saphir, the second model is even more exclusive costing 18.800‚ ($24500), of which phone cover and hinge are decorated with 640 diamonds weighing altogether 3,251 carats.
Taking up again the brand's codes and colors with the 5-branches star around the central button, the Dior phone is above all an esthetical success. On a technical plan, this upmarket product indeed misses out the "3G skill" and opts for a modest 2 megapixels camera.

Fortunately, the Dior phone catches up its weaknesses with the accessories it offers, such as un stereo helmet with remote control, a charger with an adapter working in five different countries, a black leather case and, most of all, the "My Dior" gadget which looks like a Bluetooth earflap with remote control that enables you to pick up your phone while having your phone on your bag… your Dior bag of course.
A pretty charming cell phone, manufactured in France in Sony's workshops, which should allow Dior to draw attention to itself in a segment so far dominated by Nokia, Docle&Gabana or again Armani.
The Dior phone and its accessories will be marketed by mid-June in Dior shops.

Little miss Selena Gomez is rumored to be dating one of the Jonas Brothers, Nick. Selena has been spotted at many Jonas Brothers concerts recently, including the one we went to Anaheim. She even makes a cameo in the Jonas Brothers’ video for their current single, Burning Up. Nick previously dated Miley Cyrus. Personally, I find Selena to be wayyyyyy cuter!

The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Hit or Miss?
Photo Credit: http://abcfamily.go.com/abcfamily/path/section_Shows+Secret-Life-Of-The-American-Teenager/page_Detail
Okay so this is the new craze on ABC Family, it’s kind of a Breakfast Club meets 7th Heaven. I’ve been tuning in week after week and notice myself in utter shock and breaking down laughs (because the acting and the script is that bad)! This show is about the different types of teens in a high school setting; the jock, the bad guy, the nerd, the slut, the good girl, the band geek, etc. The twist is the main character Amy/”The Band Geek” gets pregnant with one of the characters in the story and the rest you just have to watch and find out. This is one of those shows you are embarrass you watch because the acting is at it’s cheesiest but at the same time you can find yourself to click stop recording on your T-vo. Judge for yourself but hopefully you don’t get in the same predicament that I’m in…..utter and full embarrassment but I love it!

This is one wet contest and we aren’t talking about t-shirts, kids. Italian Claudia Pettazzoni and Peruvian Fidel Rios were winners of an international underwater smooching event in Riccione, Italy on July 20. They locked lips below the surface for 1 minute and 51 seconds. Try holding your breath for that long.

My New Lust-Crush
Photo Credit: socialitelife.celebuzz.com
Is it just me, or is Shia LaBeouf smokin’ hot?! I remember watching this kid back in his “Even Stevens” and “Holes” days with Disney, and then he seemed to disappear for a while. Then, just last year, he blew back on the scene with the hit “Transformers”, and is now starring in Steven Spielberg’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”. Not only is he all grown up, but he is gorgeous! At just 21 years old, Shia’s looking to be Hollywood’s new bad boy, with an arrest for being drunk in public, and a reoccurring display of rowdy behavior. However, the actor is being named by many as the next big thing, and his talent has been recognized by some of the industry’s greatest, such as Spielberg. With some promising projects on the way, and a face like that, I cannot wait to see what Shia does next!

Disney’s first attempts to create an African-American princess
Photo Credit: http://www.parentdish.com
How cool, Disney is finally creating their first African-American princess! The only bad news; they just can’t seem to get it right. The first version, The Frog Princess, was scrapped due to complaints that it was too stereotypical. The princess, named Maddy, was to be a chambermaid who worked for a spoiled white woman. Maddy is saved from a voodoo magician by a white prince, with help from her voodoo fairy godmother.

Disney's second version -- The Princess and the Frog --is still a musical set in New Orleans, but the company is keeping mum on most of the details. The heroine will be a 19-year-old named Tiana, and the film will be set in the Jazz Age. Disney says, "Princess Tiana will be a heroine in the great tradition of Disney's rich animated fairy tale legacy, and all other characters and aspects of the story will be treated with the greatest respect and sensitivity.
