Meet E.L. James!

ABC News interview the renowned author of the Fifty Shades Trilogy, E.L. James.

Actresses for Anastasia Steel

Anastasia Steel Drawn by Book Description
Photo Cred: Hollywood.com

6. Miley Cyrus, 19
  
    Shocker, I know. I honestly think that she could pull this off. Also, I believe she needs something to do. I must be truthful, I enjoyed watching her on Disney Channel's Hannah Montana. Cyrus fits Fifty Shades' description. She's got the blue eyes, brown hair, and an innocent look. I don't know, what do you think?

5. Alexis Blede, 30

    Miss Bledel is a shocking 30 years old. She has definitely aged gracefully. I've been watching Bledel since the hit show Gilmore Girls. I'm a little half and half on Bledel. She is older, but looks nothing like 30, so that's good. Also, she looks very different with brown hair compared to her normal dark brown almost black hair. Bledel also has dark brown eyes, which can be easy fixed with contacts, but a natural blue makes things easier. I kinda like Bledel for the part, but we'll see.

4. Emma Watson, 22

   Little Miss Emma Watson. She has climbed the chart since the finish of Harry Potter. I must say she grew up to quite hot! I loved when she went for the kill and chopped her ginger locks! The pixi cut was stunning on her. Watson definitely carries the innocence as well as the seductive sexiness needed for the role. I was surprised to see how quickly she bang to appear as a frontrunner for this role. I believe she could do the role quite well.

3. Rachel Bilson, 31

    Rachel Bilson has somehow flown way under the radar. I think she has so much potential but hasn't gotten the break she deserves. I believe landing the role of Anastasia Steele could help her. She's 10 years older than the character's portrayed age, but Bilson doesn't look 31, so that's good. Other than that, I do think she could be a good match for the seductive character.

2. Emilia Clarke, 24/25 (c. 1987)

    I'm only familiar with Clarke's performance in HBO's Game of Thrones, but I loved her then, and I love her now! I thought she played her power role very well. Clarke has the bright eyes that are too big for her face. She is beautiful, and transforms easily. I'd be very pleased to Emilia Clarke protraying the role of Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie.    

1. Maggie Grace, 28

    Maggie Grace is my personal first pick, as well as thousands of other across the globe. Grace is a few years older as well, but just like her other contenders, she does not look her age. She did an exceptional job in the blockbuster Taken along side Liam Neeson. She also played the lead sexy roll of Emilie Warnock in the movie Lockout alongside Guy Pearce. Hot, hot, hot! Grace has all the exceptional features of Miss Steele. As an explosive cherry topper, Maggie Grace is a natural born Virgo! She was born on the 21 of September, while Anastasia Steele shares my birthday, September 10. I will flip tables if Maggie Grace does not land the role of Anastasia Steele in the movie portrayal of Fifty Shades of Grey!

Who are your top picks for the seductive roll of Anastasia Steele?

Instagram Camera!

Instagram Camera

_____________________________________________________

     It's official! The buzz about the Instagram Camera is true, very true! 

What we know now!

- ADR Studio first announced plans for the Instagram-specific camera in May of 2012.

- ADR Studio is working on an Instagram based camera

- The expected launch date is mid-2013.

- The first prototype of the Instagram Socialmatic camera is expected by the end of 2012.

The Design!

ZeekRewards. A Ponzi Picture.

 As some of you have tried to sleepily complete the repetitive actions of logging on to Zeekler or ZeekRewards to no avail, your questions have been answered. Sadly, the ever lucrative ZeekRewards, affiliated with Zeekler.com, has been shut down by the SEC, claiming it to be a $600 million Ponzi scheme. As FORBES reported, "...it was shut down by the SEC because it was a Ponzi scheme on the verge of collapse..." It is a sad day for all the former, suddenly poorer, Zeeklers. A moment of silence please.

ZeekRewards Logo

When I say this thing was getting good, I mean I was hearing about it from left and right. Recently, my parents phoned me about the program trying to get involved. Now they've always had an eye for a way to make quick money but nothing illegal. With that in mind, I've always steered clear of "businesses" such as Zeekler. I told her that I'm not fond of these things and next thing you know it's gonna bite you in the butt.

I'm not one to say I've told you so, so I'll just settle for.. Better luck next time.







Here is an interesting video on Zeekler and its recent misfortune.

Fifty Shades of Grey: Casting Prospects

Ian Somerhalder as Christian Grey

So all along I saw Simon Baker as Christian Grey and a no name for Ana
Steele. Then I hit the part about his crackhead mother, and I believed Christian deserved a darker person. That's when I went with Ian Somerhalder. Yes I know Simon Baker is a bit too old for the part, but he can play young. To be honest, I think it is a fair tie between the two.

Maggie Grace as Ana Steele

For Ana Steele I went with Maggie Grace from Taken.. but after I remembered that she played a vampire in Twilight I kind of refrained from her. I also just found out that Maggie Grace and Ian Somerhalder had a thing. Being that I watched the ABC hit show LOST for all of two seasons, I was not aware that they were on-sceen related, let alone knew each other.

Simon Baker as Christian Grey

My Ana Steele alternative would be Nina Dobrev, and I do believe she would do an amazing job, but I think Dobrev fits with Somerhalder (as us Vampire Diaries lovers know), but not so much with Baker.

The possibilities for Christian Grey could honestly go on and on, but these are my two definite contenders.

Nina Dobrev as Ana Steele

As for the rest of the cast, the ever curious Katherine Kavanagh, a few prospects are, Katie Cassidy, Shailene Woodley, or Lake Bell. As for Elliot, tall, dark, and handsome, my thoughts are Kelly Blatz or Max Thieriot. I am keeping this Elliot option open for a little while. For Jose, the photographer, played by Victor Rasuk, from How to Make it in America and Stephen Amell as Taylor the ever obedient Taylor, Grey's assistant. I'd love for it to be John Cena, but that would be playing games!

There is aslo Ana's family, her "father" Ray, her mother Carla, and step-day Bob. Here is Ray, as food for thought, Hugh Laurie! In all seriousness my second pick is Kyle Secor.

Tom Selleck as Christians dad. OOO I'm having much too much fun.

Busy now! Finish in a bit!

Laters, Baby ;)

Last Friday: Ice Cube and Chris Tucker Do it One Last Time!!

Ice Cube & Chris Tucker

      Yayy!! The day has finally come!! Since the first installment of Friday, in 1995 the cast had their viewers hooked! The film takes a look at one single Friday in the life of two friends, Craig Jones (Ice Cube) and Smokey (Chris Tucker), in the urban city of Los Angeles. Craig has recently been fired from his job while attempting to collect his check, as he was allegedly caught on camera stealing cardboard boxes from UPS, although he claims innocence. Throughout the day, friends and local neighborhood characters pass through, including the hulking neighborhood bully Deebo (Tommy Lister, Jr.). The rest was history!
       5 years later, in 2000, Next Friday premiered and got even more buzz than its previous movie. This time Craig (Ice Cube) goes to live in Rancho Cucamonga, California to get away from South Central as Deebo (Tom Lister, Jr.) has escaped from prison and he started smoking weed, with his Uncle Elroy (Don "D.C." Curry) and cousin, Day-Day (Mike Epps), when Deebo goes back to prison. Who could forget Day-Day! Mike Epps' memorable character whom we've all come to know and love!

       Sooner than later, in 2002 the next installment came out, casually titled Friday After Next. In this crazy third, the dynamic pair are robbed by ghetto Santa early in the morning. Only in the 'hood right?! They expanded the cast and made room for the hilarious Katt Williams, who's character is a pimp, naturally. The movie was accepted as the third and final installment of the Friday series. 

      The crew then decided to put out a cartoon series titled, Friday: The Animated Series. Unfortunately the series was short lived with only one season that consisted of 8 episodes.

      My guess is that the temptation for a fourth movie was too strong! So strong in fact, that the crazy crew has come back for what seems o be one last hoorah! I can tell you that there are millions just waiting diligently for the premier of this movie, said to be sometime summer 2013. 

There are no plots out yet, not even rumored ones! But don't worry, you know ya girl will keep you updated with each move this production makes!

Stayed tuned!

Willow Smith: TONGUE RING!

C'mon now. I mean for real. There is a line whether we want one or not. An eleven year old girl, famous or not, is an eleven year old girl. 5th grade, technically is where she would be, either about to go to 5th or 6th grade. If my daughter, if I had one, thought about getting something pierced at that age would just laugh at herself and know better than to ask. This, in my opinion is wrong. It crosses all ethical and some moral standards. Things you just know you not supposed to do. I do not know how Will agreed to this, or how Willow talked her mam into thinking this was okay. I have to laugh, because I just cannot wrap my head around this concept.

____________________________________________________

What Twitter Thinks:

@meelztv Jameel: Jada slackin'.

       @EmpressVal: This is ridiculous

             @shelz_iam: First she was on the pole now this 

  

____________________________________________________ 

Okay so I'm not the only one who thinks this is crazy. It's truly upsetting. I feel that there are no boundaries set for lil Will, so she feels she may do as she pleases. Unfortunately its proving to be true. In my opinion, Willow is growing up much too fast! I don't even know why she would choose to piece her tongue of all places! Willow could have chosen her belly, ears, or her nose! Granted, I still firmly believe that any extra piercing right now is inappropriate, but if you must don' be so outlandish. Hol Up, I'm fnsta call Jada. I'll be back. Haha

_____________________________________

NEWEST UPDATE!

Willow claims the ring to be a fake!... I say, we'll see!

Fresh Meat Caribbean SuperCenter

<p>Hey y'all! So I went to the Jamaican market today in Orlando. I'm used to seeing these things... pig feet, whole fish you know. But this time it just so fresh. So raw I had to take some pictures. I took pics of the pigs feet, cow skin, & "a big ol mackerel fish! Crazy! </p>

Time Magazine: Are You Mom Enough?

TIME Magazine's May 2012 Cover

What the freak?! First things first, what made TIME Magazine believe that it was okay to plaster a woman breastfeeding on their coveted cover slot? To add to the already worse situation, the creative directors, no doubt, thought it would be, well, creative to have a woman breast feeding an almost four-year old child. Why? Why, TIME, why? I'm so disappointed. She's standing there looking all proud thinking, "Of all the breast-feeding mothers, they chose me and my toddler son!" We're all thinking the same thing, but in a sane sense. My opinion on the matter is that it's cool, go ahead, try to be daring and put controversial pictures on your precious cover, I'm sure it will sell regardless. Do not however try to go above and beyond when you're really just making a fool of yourself. I mean seriously, if the kid can say that he wants more, it's time for a sippy cup. I mean, look! He's standing on his own! He probably went and fetched that chair he's standing on himself! Imagine your child sucking on your nipple and the pain you felt when they bit you, and all they had were gums. This kid has teeth! There is an unspoken spoken rule of thumb. When your child sprouts teeth, put 'em in a booster seat! Just that simple. Seriously though, what were you thinking TIME? Tis Pity.

Essie vs E.L.F Nail Lacquer

These two nail lacquers are different in name but same in the game. This Essie polish is named "Too Too Hot". It has a thin base but goes on nice and easy. I only applied one coat. The same goes for the E.L.F. Polish, which is named "Smokin' Hot". The only difference is that is has a white base which gives the color a bit more depth. I only applied one coat as well. To be honest, I can barely tell the two apart. If you know E.L.F., then you know that their polishes are environmentally friendly and lack the typical nail polish smell, which is definitely for the better! Also if you're looking to get the look without the cost, E.L.F. is the way to go! With an avg of $3 a bottle you can't go wrong. Essie usually costs around $7-8, which isn't bad because the lacquer holds up to an every day beat down for at least 7 days. And that's without the top coat! E.L.F., on the other hand, if you do the four coats (base, two color, top) it'll last up to 14 days solid. You just have to weigh your options with these kinds of things, ask yourself : What are you looking for in a lacquer?

Mociun! Mociun! Jewelry

        I love their jewelry!! Their use of colors in their jewelry is just insane. I believe the coolest thing about Mociun's Jewelry is that they are hand-made and made to order. You can pick and choose customize as much as you'd like. Everything is real real gold, real sterling silver, real diamonds, and real stones. With that being said, they are seriously pricy but they're very much worth it!

Here are a few of my favorites:

                           

Hook Gold Earrings

Colored Stone Cluster Studs 

      

Mismatched Triangle
Turquoise and Diamond Studs
