• Music vs Sports

    It was double duty this week for me at AOL On and Huffington Post. I usually bring the entertainment and music news to my online friends, but this time around I filled in for Crystal Marie- who also happens to be my roomie- to bring the dudes their sports news on The Fumble. Yes, that’s one of the benefits of having a roommate who works at the same place as you; when you need a replacement, all you have to do is knock on the next door over.

    I must say, I had a lot of fun switching between the two as it really brought together my two loves. Outside of my videos for AOL, I usually find myself in the sports world for Bleacher Report and CBS Sports. And, of course, I am living and breathing (dance) music all over the world with ULTRA and MTV. See, I even bring the high top wedge sneakers to the studio.

    So, which do you like better? The music or sports stories?

    … really, really busy.

    In Croatia for Ultra Europe, then Ibiza for play, then Paris for crepes.

    And my parents wanted me to be a lawyer.

  • 12 Reasons D12 Should Stay in LA

    With Dwight Howard exercising his free agency and weighing his options in the league this week, we at Bleacher Report put together a little video on 12 reasons why D12 is perfect in Los Angeles.

    As Bleacher Report’s LA Lakers Correspondent this year, I developed a close relationship with the controversial center. While many lambasted his “child-like” attitude, I found that he used it more as a tool to not talk about the fact that the Lakers were losing. That’s understandable, even if it is a little abnormal. And that contrary to what most people are writing, Lakers fans that I spoke to outside of that disastrous Game 4 against the Spurs actually want him to stay.

    Will Dwight Howard stay or go? Here’s why we think he should keep the purple and gold…

    What’s Trending with Gilbert Gottfried

    If there could be a face next to “larger than life personality” in the dictionary, it would definitely be that of Gilbert Gottfried. When he walks into the room, he’s initially an underwhelming presence- standing at 5’5″ and soft spoken. Yes, you read that right, he is soft spoken. But when the camera turns on he dives into that famous Aflac voice and let’s his mind and mouth go straight into the gutter, a place I usually reserve just for my mind.

    I had the pleasure of witnessing this transformation first hand while co-hosting for What’s Trending, a huge online live show with more than a 1,000,000 subscribers. Considering it’s an online show, and Gilbert Gottfried has had some not-so-small issues with the online world, it was pretty balls-y for him to be our guest for a half hour. Then again, he was promoting his book Rubber Balls and Liquor, so maybe this was just a serendipitous meeting.

    Check out the craziness for yourself. My ears are still ringing.

    Throwback Thursday: Taylor Swift As Gollum

    Fotor0603114719

     

    I may be known for my take on Ke$ha, but my favorite parody is definitely this Taylor Swift one for “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. Shot at the height of her Jake Gyllenhaal- Conor Kennedy love triangle/backlash, we came to our own conclusions about Taylor’s love life. Things kept on not working out, because she is actually Gollum. I know, you were thinking this, too.

    I love this parody because I saw a lot of me in the character. Stay with me here. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of a late night giggle fest with me, I can get downright crazy- of the silly kind. I love to act really nerdy, jump around and do weird things, and basically make a complete fool out of myself for the enjoyment of others. So, acting like a crazy person toward a really hot guy and then slipping into a Sci-Fi character is kind of like a typical Sunday night for me. Need proof? My roommate tends to document these moments, much to my dismay. You can follow her @IamCrystalMarie

    This is a crazy video on so many levels. But, it’s even crazier how freaking ESP we were on Taylor Swift’s love life. We were all joking on set that Taylor Swift would break up with Conor Kennedy before the video came out, and she broke up with him a week after we posted it online. Then, what’s really funny, is the guy who plays Conor Kennedy in our video actually plays Harry Styles in the other Key of Awesome parodies. Creepy coincidence, right? And because weird things happen in three’s, the first week live online our parody had gone “platinum”, kind of like how Taylor Swift’s new album “Red” went platinum in seven days. Okay, the third one is a stretch, but still it’s fun to think about.

    So, without further ado, here is the Key of Awesome Parody for Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”.
