Hello Readers

For the 1 of you who has come to this blog more than once, this is just to explain where Meg has been recently. She's taking a little vacation for the next week or so while she works on a big post. Let's just say that we love YouTube here, and we're gonna be interviewing some familiar faces. Until then, you're stuck with me and my excessive TV posts (sorry about that). So Enjoy!

5 Reasons to Watch Skins

Unless you're living in Europe there's not a very good chance that you're familiar with Skins. Basically, Skins is a huge hit british TV show that follows 8 teenagers (Tony, Sid, Maxxie, Chris, Anwar, Cassie, Jal, and Michelle) who live in Bristol,England. There's nothing really special about them, they all attend public school and have relatively normal lives, but this show proves that sometimes "normal" is more interesting than anything. The show has yet to air in the United States, but luckily that's about to change when it comes to BBC America (check your local listings)on August 13th. I myself have been cheating a little and watching it online. And I've compiled a list of why I think you should tune in at 9:00 pm on August 17th.

1.Great Acting-Look out for Hannah Murray (Cassie) in particular
2.Awesome Music-Indie Rock etc.
3.The Little Boy from About a Boy plays Tony!
4.If you don't, BBC America might take it off the air, and then you'll never be able to watch it!
5.Because it's fabulous. And I should know.

Side Note: Meg is very sorry that she hasn't done a post in a while, because, as you know, we're working on getting publicity and readers at the moment. On a related note, it would be really awesome if some of you could tell your friends about us. We're trying to build it up so we can expand! Thanks!

Jamie Lynn Introduces Maddie Briann

Photobucket
If there was ever any question of paternity, question no more. Trust me, Maddie Briann is her father's daughter. But I am a little confused about this cover. Did the good folks over at OK! magazine think giving Jamie Lynn grey hair would make us forget she was 17? Anyway, as I ponder this question, take a look at the product of Mama Lynne Spears "Alleged" deal with OK! magazine, a somewhat touching but eerily creepy photospread introducing Maddie Briann Alridge to the world.

Mariah Carey

To start off our little series of top searches, yesterday's was Mariah Carey. With good reason: The Long Island native has been the best selling female artist since the 90's. And with her latest album, E=mc2, she shows no signs of slowing down. She also recently appeared in the movie You Don't Mess with the Zohan (a very strange movie, I wouldn't really recommend it; however she does make a guest appearance).
Here are some of the best and the biggest of her latest album. Enjoy!

This is her latest single, a fun, summer love tune.

This has a sentimental value to me.

I just think this vid is hilarious. Read more!

Our Life on the Blogging D-List

Photobucket
Every Thursday at 10 I sit down and watch the hilarious My Life On the D-List, a reality show on Bravo that follows the self-proclaimed, and I have to concur, "hilarious Kathy Griffin." Why do I find it so funny? Maybe it's the fact that I confess I'm a celebrity gossip junkie, and Kathy Griffin is like my enabler with her highly amusing anecdotes. But recently, it could be that I resonate with her bid to find fame, recognition, and, most importantly, publicity. Yes, believe or not, preaching to a non-existent choir can be frustrating, and with a blog that, at last check, had 3 views other than either of us, the concept is close to my heart.
Publicity has been a buzz word for my blogging parter-in-crime Meg and I, and with our highly embarrassing statistics, we feel the pressure more than ever. We've tried a video on youtube, followed up by incessant friend requests. (we just felt the cold hard slap of reality with a "who are you people and how did you find me?"-type message) But now we have a new brilliant and shameless plan.
Every day Yahoo!(tm, copyrighted, don't sue us please) collects the statistics of Yahoo searches all over the world, and posts the most popular ones. Now, as interesting as it is to know that Jessica Alba is the most searched person on the internet, (did anyone steal that title?) we've figured out a much better way to use these statistics. A sort of "Internet world domination," if you will.
For the next couple of weeks we're going to be blogging about these top searches, putting aside any slight bit of pride and/or ego we may have. And while you may not care about Cheryl Cole (Girls Aloud member, today's top search, congrats Cheryl) we ask that you bear with us for the time being in a series of posts we like to call Our Life on the Blogging D-List.
