Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards was probably the most entertaining yet. There were so many things to look forward to and I can’t say I’m disappointed. The show was dedicated to Michael Jackson, but the most talked about/tweeted/facebooked event was most definitely Taylor Swift’s snub via Kanye West and Beyonce’s brilliant [and expected] fix at the end. I’m just gonna do a break down of my favorite parts of the show now. But let me just say, with everything that went down…it’s like Michael Jackson was watching.

Madonna’s speech about Michael Jackson: This was a really great and emotional speech. Madonna not only gave one hell of a tribute to Michael, but she also talked of her similar experience under the magnifying glass. The “Michael Jackson not having a childhood” and “us giving up on him” truly made you think. I was touched. “Long live the King.” (P.S. Anyone notice during the pre-show how Katy Perry gave away the fact that Madonna was somehow part of the MJ tribute? MTV cut her off in the interview but most caught it, I’m sure.)

Janet Jackson/Michael Jackson tribute opening: Let’s give it up for all of those dancers on the stage who blew up the roof. I think my favorite parts were when you could see the dancers against the screen doing the exact same moves as Michael at the exact same time. That was special. Then Janet finally came out and it was probably the most energy I’ve ever seen Janet have in a performance. She really seemed to be trying to capture Michael’s essence on the stage and it was beautiful. They also showed Janet dancing against the screen and it was near perfect. Between Madonna’s speech and Janet&crew’s performance, all too wonderful. R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

EXACTLY what happened with Taylor Swift/Beyonce/Kanye: Let’s just say what happened first. It’s time for Best Female video and it’s between Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift (and maybe someone else). Taylor Swift wins. She comes up in shock (she even said during a pre-show interview that she had no chance against Lady Gaga and Beyonce). Taylor starts to give an adorable speech about how unexpected it was. Somehow Kanye gets on stage and says to Taylor, “Sorry I’ll let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.” The screen jumps to Beyonce who looks mortified that something like this just happened. Taylor just stood there and literally didn’t even finish her speech. Look at this bitch (right) taking the microphone from Taylor Swift. RUDE! I gave you the breakdown, now here are my exact thoughts:

My thoughts on Taylor/Beyonce/Kanye: I’m going to echo the sentiments of celebrities and fans across the world, but I’m going to do it my own way. First let me just say that Kanye West is a DICK and a classless piece of trash. He’s known for his outbursts and being upset over not winning awards, but this time it wasn’t even in a category he was ELIGIBLE for. It was female video. He had no place to even be on stage let alone interrupt poor Taylor Swift while she was winning her very first Video Music Award. Her first VMA is going to be remembered with this asshole taking the stage. The only thing that can actually describe how angry I was are the outraged tweets of fans and celebrities on the internet. They, together, capture my frustration. Who the hell does Kanye West think he is? Save your thoughts for a bitter blog post, don’t get on stage and take something away from someone you fucking asshole. Your girlfriend needs to get you a leash.

How Beyonce fixed everything/thoughts: After Taylor’s ruined moment, the whole night I was thinking to myself, “you know what would be perfect…if Beyonce won and invited Taylor to the stage.” And you know what happened? Exactly that. I swear, ask my friend who I was watching with, when Beyonce won the award for Video of the Year, I was saying outloud, “say something about Taylor, say something.” And she did. Beyonce said, “Thank you. I remember being 17-years-old, up for my first MTV Award with Destiny’s Child and it was one of the most exciting moments in my life. So I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment.” And it was perfect. There’s a reason I was expecting something like that and that’s because it is Beyonce. I have never seen a celebrity display more humbleness than this girl right here. Every time she takes the stage, it is always with grace, appreciation, and humility. Whether it’s a tribute to Barbara Streisand or performing with the winner of a British singing competition. Beyonce, I’ve seen you 4 times (this year, 11 total) all over the country. It’s fact that you are my favorite artist of all time. And if it’s possible, I love you even more for your kind gesture and class yesterday. Well done. Thank you B. Fun fact: During the pre-show, Beyonce was asked which of the 9 awards she would like to win most and she said Video of the Year. And that’s what she got. Holler.

I see Kanye’s point, but no: I have to say that I also thought Beyonce was going to win the award over Taylor Swift. Why? Well, I don’t know…I guess when you have a music video that turns into an internet sensation (think fans, YouTube, and a whole lot of “Single Ladies” moves). The single and video were absolutely huge. And now that I think about it, “Video of the Year” does sound more appropriate.

Beyonce/Taylor Swift = My Heroes: When these two were on the stage at the end, both in red, I couldn’t help but think that two of my favorite people are on stage together. These girls are such good role models for the future and I am so glad there are people like them in an industry that I am captivated by. I’m going to show clips from this night to my kids in the future to teach them what is good and bad. Thank you ladies.

Taylor Swift performing in the NYC subway: All I can say is, Taylor Swift…you would. This girl so would have a performance in a New York City subway –> on top of a taxicab. Who else was concerned? lol. Quick mention: this whole Kanye thing happened literally right before her performance and it looks like Taylor turned her negative energy into a positively stunning performance. Well done girl!

Lady GaGa, I’m finally getting her: I’ve loved Lady GaGa’s music since I heard it but I never really got my mind around the fashion choices…until last night. She really is about the performance and making you think. I can honestly say that I am now looking forward to say what GaGa’s going to come up with next. Oh and the bleeding during the performance…crazy but loves it.

Pink’s acrobatic/airy performance: I just love Pink. It was such a daring performance and she really just commit herself completely to it. Pink is stepping this shit up and has really found her own place in the music industry. Loves her.

Jay-Z and Alicia Keys in an “Empire State of Mind”: Jay. The entrance. The song. Alicia Keys. I was just about to type that I’m surprised “Empire State of Mind” isn’t on iTunes Top 10 (because I checked earlier)…and after checking again…it’s #5. Point in case.

Twilight New Moon: I’m not one of those Twilight crazies you always hear about. I even saw the first one. Was never understanding this New Moon hype until last night. That extended trailer looked awesome. Add that to the to-do list.

Oh and Tracy Morgan and Eminem’s bit was pretty damn cute. And doesn’t Eminem just seem different? in a good way?

I’m sure there’s a billion other things that happened last night..but if it didn’t make the list above then I must really be forgetting something because these were all the moments that made my jaw drop/heart warm up.

I must admit that I haven’t watched American Idol regularly since the first season (Kelly Clarkson/the only time the show came on during summertime, where it belongs). And to be honest, I thought all this Paula Abdul not returning/contract babble was just a publicity stunt (because let’s face it, this whole debacle has created a lot of buzz for the show).

But now Paula has made it official that she isn’t coming back? WTF was American Idol thinking? The show will not be the same without this woman. I know that millions of people agree just how big a mistake this is and the reasons as to why. American Idol, you officially have one day to fix this big mistake. One day.

I think the ratings in January will speak for themselves. Paula is an integral part of the show (and this is coming from someone who doesn’t even watch the show religiously). Paula > Ryan. Much greater. Fork over the money you idiots.

Warning: Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 Finale spoilers ahead. You DO NOT want to read this if you ever plan on watching this episode (and if you want to actually get the full benefit of watching).

I’ve been putting off watching the Season 5 finale of Grey’s Anatomy for quite some time now (mainly because I like to save TV I know will be good)…but I finally watched it and I have to say…what a great finale/cliffhanger. We pretty much knew that Izzy’s story was going to be a big part of the finale, but that twist they threw in there? The one they revealed with only about 5 or so minutes left? George?! Can I just say that even when Meredith screamed, “Oh God,” I still had no idea that John Doe was actually George. But when I re-watched (forced my friend to watch the episode), John Doe looked like George the whole time! Just so everyone is clear, a patient was brought into the hospital in critical condition after he jumped in front of a bus to save a girl. We didn’t know who it was until the episode was almost over.

George? Izzy? Both? So the cliffhanger left us with both George and Izzy’s lives at stake. They were both crashing and the episode ended with Izzy being charged one more time and Meredith saying, “It could all be gone tomorrow.” This whole crisis (trying to save Izzy in one room and George in another) also included a scene with Izzy getting onto an elevator (wearing the same “prom dress” she wore when Denny died at the end of Season 2). The elevator goes up and opens to George in a military uniform (looking quite dapper). Here’s what I think (and it may have been obvious): I think George is definitely going to die and that Izzy’s fate is still to be determined. George was off of the elevator and it seemed like Izzy was trying to decide whether she should get off too (metaphorically). I mean I hope that George doesn’t die, but from the rest of the episode, all the doctors (except Owen) made it seem like he was going to die at day’s end. I’m hoping they both live, but from the looks of it, I think only Izzy has a shot.

Izzy’s Hyper/hypo kalemia (not sure which): Okay so I may not be 100% right here, but right before Izzy went under, Christina kept saying Izzy’s kidneys are weak and that she has either hyperkalemia or hypokalemia. I actually tried figuring out if this was a condition Izzy could get past and it seems like there may be a chance! I don’t know the doctor words for it, but it’s something to do with low potassium level in the blood and possible kidney failure. We’ll see.

As for everyone else that is not George and Izzy: The whole Meredith and Christina exchange was just too cute. (M:”I love you Christina Yang.” C: “I’m going to give you a hug”). Meredith and Derek finally officially moving forward with their relationship (word to the wise: I don’t think we need anymore MerDer love drama anytime soon). The chief and Miranda’s playtime with the advanced surgery tools was lame (but Bailey was still cute). Christina finally let Owen in after his trauma-caused choking (C: “I can’t breathe without you.”). Bailey leaving her husband (because he gave her the altamatem of divorce or a time-consuming career in pediatrics)…Even though she dumped the loser (yay), it was still really sad to see her cry after realizing that she’s going to be a single mother. Bailey is also going to be sticking with General Surgery (aka more so-so moments with the Chief). As for Callie and Arizona…they didn’t have much in this episode (other than deciding if it was “awesome” that George enrolled into the military). As for Alex…I think people think he was being too angry and mean toward Izzy…but if I were in his shoes…I feel I’d act the same exact way. Anything he did was out of love for Izzy (A: She’s the only good thing in my life). BTW, how happy are some Grey’s fans that Izzy and Alex got so together again (regardless of what happens)? I am!

Departure rumors and the finale: So Katherine Heigl (Izzy) and T.R. Knight (George) have been rumored to be leaving the show, but the show’s writer has confirmed that both of them are under contract for another year. So basically, there’s a chance that either Izzy and/or George will live, it’s just a matter of whether or not Grey’s wants them to live.

Last thought/random Meredith thought: So a lot of people watch this show and they are like, “WTF is wrong with this Meredith chick?” I feel that some people just don’t understand her journey and why she was “dark and twisty” all this time. I think what people need to understand is this: Meredith is just someone who has been through a lot in her life (mother with Alzheimer’s and an affair, a neglectful father, and just trying to make it as a Doctor, something she worked so hard toward even with all the bullshit.) She’s a fighter and quite the inspirational TV show character. Some people just don’t see it. I do.

I love this show. And I really hope Season 6 delivers like Season 5 (I don’t care what anyone says, Season 5 was better than 3 and 4). The way Izzy’s illness came together (dead boyfriend hallucinations —> misdiagnosis –> stage 4 metastatic melanoma –> fighting the cancer –> ???) was brilliant.

Did everyone just see what happened on the MTV Movie Awards? Bruno (a gay character played by Sacha Baron Cohen) just came down from the ceiling and put his ass in front of Eminem while Em was in his seat. Eminem then got up and left after his entourage cleared that dirt bag off of him. Some are saying that Bruno “69′d” Eminem. I’m sorry, but that is just rude and disgusting. And right after an awesome performance (where he seemed to be really reaching out to the fans, which is ALWAYS AWESOME). Had it been something not so extreme, it could have been funny.

UPDATE: Looks like the whole thing was staged and Eminem was in on it too. That changes everything!

I just had to share this with everyone. This is such a good show and the first two seasons are so cheap if you buy them together. Only $24.00! Click here to buy it at Amazon.com.

I don’t have a whole lot to say because this episode spoke for itself. So clearly Izzy is carrying the show into the finale. I’m HELLA nervous about this next episode. “It will change the way you watch Grey’s”? What exactly that does that mean? If Izzy dies… Grey’s Anatomy is going to have to work really hard to get me to keep watching. But anyway, back to this 100th episode. It was warm. It was giving. It was depressing. I was crying throughout the entire wedding scene (did anyone else totally think Izzy was going to pass out or something?). So what’s next for Izzy? Hopefully nothing bad. Don’t miss the finale this coming Thursday.

Can I also just say that I really think Season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy has been effing awesome. And it’s definitely better than seasons 3 and 4. Of course how they end Season 5 could change everything. That was a hint. Don’t kill Izzy. Thanks!

And lastly…“The best day of your life.” Definitely gave me something to think about.

This week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was just beautiful. Strong. Happy. Sad. One of a kind. So much insight into Meredith’s life. A step forward in Izzy’s cancer battle (and another scare ahead?). The episode was just really deep and if you didn’t get it then, you need to get into Grey-vision ASAP. When the pieces come together, it really is a great show.

But seriously. What’s going on with Izzy? I guess this is going to go into the season finale. I’m getting nervous. Please don’t kill Izzy. And if you are going to kill Izzy, think about the consequences. It seems like a lose-lose situation really. If you keep Izzy on, you’re potentially sending out a false message of hope to similar people in such a serious situation. If you kill Izzy off, you’re sending out a very real message to the world. Cancer is serious. But you’d also be killing off one of your original characters (I don’t think that has ever done a show good…in my eyes).

There’s good and bad to both situations. But honestly I prefer to bring out the fighter in Izzy. The right thing to do is fight. Don’t give up. Don’t let Izzy give up. Fight. Seriously.

You know how Desperate Housewives is the type of show that unfolds all throughout the season? And then there’s usually that one or two episodes that pieces everything together? Well, tonight’s episode was the one…and then a sudden twist! Desperate Housewives was just great tonight. I love that we finally know what happened between Susan and Mike all those years ago. And the connection to Dave? When you’re not able to put two and two together right away, sometimes that just great TV (and sometimes it’s not). I’m also totally ready for Bree to free herself of Orson. You can only make a fool of someone for so long. Ahhh greatness.

The questions for next time: Is it the end for Bree and Orson? Gabby and Tom’s new friendship. Mike and Catherine’s future (and is Dave no longer out to kill Catherine?) What’s going to happen to Dave? And more importantly, what the hell is going to happen to Susan and her precious son MJ? And just so we’re clear, Susan was responsible for the accident!  Like I said, this was a great episode.

Grey’s Anatomy is making me nervous. I’m really scared they are going to kill Izzy off. And did anyone else finally sense a George-depature this week, even a little? It was nice to see George have some meaningful screentime. Don’t let Izzy and George go. Please?

So damnnn good.

Everything’s coming back! Listen up everyone! Desperate Housewives returns tonight after that really annoying too-many-weeks-long hiatus. Don’t forget to watch. So excited to be un-cliffhangered. Only 5 episodes left (including tonight’s)!

I have to say I really enjoyed watching the Bravo A-List awards and here’s why:

1) Kathy Griffin - I love the bitch. Love her specials. Love her ability to laugh at everyone including herself.

2) Dedication to Natasha Richardson - What a beautiful and meaningful dedication to the late actress. Not going to even lie, I almost started crying.

2) Tori Spelling’s Acceptance Speech - Who knew that Tori Spelling had such an adorable personality? Great and funny speech. I don’t really listen to what everyone says about her (because it’s bullshit), so I have a great impression of her! That was a really great excerpt from the book too. Go Tori.

4) Only 1.5 hours - This wasn’t one of those award shows that dragged on.

5) Okay I can’t think of a 5th reason…The Kardashians, maybe? Justin Timberlake’s video speech? I’m done.

The next episode of Grey’s Anatomy is next Thursday on April 23rd! At least now I can anticipate something. The episode is called “Sweet Surrender.” A preview? Sure!

Two of my favorite shows return to television within the next week (after many many weeks of hiatus) and I am soooo excited. Desperate Housewives returns this Sunday, April 19 and Gossip Girl returns Monday, April 20. Does everyone remember the cliff-hanger on Desperate Housewives? Does Edie die?! As for GG, I just really miss Blair. Be excited

This deserves its own post. After all the Katherine Heigl departure news, Katherine Heigl herself has finally spoke! This was at a studio party for Grey’s 100th episode (coming soon). She said she doesn’t know if Izzy will live or die and that  she’ll stay on Grey’s if Grey’s will have her. Here is a big-quote from Katherine Heigl herself:

I was assuming that at one point and I got a lot of shrugged shoulders and shakes of the head, so I don’t know if that’s a yes or a no [in response to if Izzy will die]. No one will tell me and I don’t know how this is going to go. I don’t know if I live or die. I don’t know how Izzie fares. I’m there if Izzie remains part of Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t know if I want to continue for five years working 12 months a year, but I can take at least another year or two.

Well there you have it. More stuff to drive me even more crazy until the coming episodes. Fun. OMG what if they let Izzy live? I say don’t kill her off! BTW, I’m totally spelling “Izzie” wrong but who seriously cares about the spelling of the name when you’ve got all this news?
