Ultra Clutch Hairspray

I was a little worried before going to see Hairspray that it would be too much like the recently released movie but I was worried for nothing as certain aspects were dead same, but there were enough differences to keep me engaged. It's a color fiesta, song and dance buffet! It'll make you happy. The Tracy Turnblad, Shannon Durig, is golden, and most of the supporting cast is strong too.

Hey Agent 99, The Alien played Corny Collins and he was okay but his speaking voice didn't seem as loud as the other actors. James Marsden wins in that competition. And then Ashley Parker Angel from that lame MTV show we watched once at your house played Link Larkin. He's not much of an actor too. Link isn't supposed to be that deep, but I think he got beat by Zac Efron.

Has anyone noticed that James Marsden seems to play the blandly handsome cuckolded boyfriend in lots of movies? X-Men, Superman Returns, The Notebook, and I guess Enchanted. That must be his specialty.

Cat chat

This is such an adorable video. I hope my co-bloggers like it if they haven't seen it before. Sometimes I am a little behind the times. The family cat used to talk to herself but now she doesn't do that much. Funny. I wish I had a cat!

a real Hottie Hotpants

I am very mildly obsessed with the Broadway musical Xanadu. Hey, it's campy and very tongue-in-cheek and family friendly and funny and has the mark of Olivia Newton-John and has catchy tunes and gives out glowsticks. How come I am the only one who seems to know how to use a glowstick? Anyway, the first time I saw the show, an understudy (the cutie Curtis Holbrook) went on for the lead (the smokin' Cheyenne Jackson), Sonny Malone, the struggling dim artist. We were all disappointed that the lead was out, but the understudy was fabuloso. The second time I saw Xanadu, I introduced an old friend into the fold (Hi D!) and we were fortunate enough that Cheyenne was not out. At the end of the show, he wears some satin booty shorts and they are not long at all. And it hit me: Cheyenne Jackson is a true Hottie Hotpants! HH is Agent99's term for a super attractive fella. I just like saying Hottie Hotpants. And I got my picture taken with this handsome man. I am happy.

In case you're wondering, the infamously bad Xanadu movie is not as rotten as you would expect. Olivia is winsome but the guy who plays Sonny couldn't act his way out of a brown paper bag. The soundtrack is rad and is one of its saving graces. Poor Gene Kelly. I wonder how he got roped into doing Xanadu?

I might be motivated enough to post my other celebrity encounters from this weekend. Stay tuned.
