Ellen DeGeneres on SYTYCD

If you remember the post I posted last month about "Alex Wong && Twitch SYTYCD" then you'll understand why I posted this. Last night was the finale of Season 7 of SYTYCD. Alex was eliminated do to an injury sustaining a lacerated Achilles. He did however dance in the opening of the show's finale via a chair. There is no doubt that that NappyTabs(Napoleon & Tabitha D'umo) routine was the highlight of the season. Judge and Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe released a statement saying Alex could come back next season if he feels up to it. Alex has high hopes of returning, and winning, Season 8.

In place of Alex was Ellen DeGeneres. Dancing with Season 4 contestant/all-star Twitch. Twitch was the runner-up to Season 4's winner Joshua. He has gone on to do movies like "Step Up 3D", and "Stomp The Yard 2" with plenty more on the way. Ellen, an obvious lover of dance, danced the routine with a few changes and adjustments. The quality was up to my standards, because it's ELLEN!!! The routine was the last of the night. As the judges always select their favorites throughtout the season, and they are performed on that season's finale. Right before the winner was announced. Season 7's winner is Lauren Froderman.

Beastly

"Beastly" is a new film set to release in March of 2011. It is a modern take on "Beauty & The Beast", but from the Beast's point of view. It stars an English actor Alex Pettyfer, as well as well known actors such as Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen, and Neil Patrick Harris.

The film is about a guy Kyle Kingson(Alex Pettyfer) who is all about looks. He uses them to get what he wants, when he wants. Although his inner beauty isn't as beautiful as his outer beauty. He ends up being cursed by a witch Kendra(Mary-Kate Olsen), and doesn't turn into the beast we have all come to know from the Disney movie. More of a modern version with a new twist. He has a year to find someone to love him for who he is on the inside without looking like his former self for him to be turned back into his former self. He notices a girl he never noticed before Lindy(Vanessa Hudgens) who truly understands the meaning of real beauty.

Because of his new found change of appearance his Dad has looked him away in an apartment building with his maid Zola(Lisa Gay Hamilton), and his blind tutor(Neil Patrick Harris). Secluded from the world he has a lot of free time to think, and he misses all the things he once had, but never seemed to notice before. The little things.

The movie is based off a novel by Alex Finn with the same title "Beastly" although the book is quite different from the actual film. In the film he doesn't look as described in the book. For that matter neither does Lindy(Vanessa Hudgens), or Kendra(Mary-Kate Olsen). He had 2 years to find love instead of 1. Plus the series of events leading to him finding love seem obviously different.

All-in-all the film seems quite promising. As if a breath of fresh air from the Twilight Saga buzz. I think it's a great storyline, and quite the flick that will leave you thinking about true love, and true beauty.



MAKES SURE YOU GO SEE "BEASTLY" IN THEATERS MARCH 18TH 2011!!!!!

Miami Welcomes Lebron James

Lebron arrived in Miami on Friday morning to start his weekend celebration for his decision to go with the Miami Heat. The city of Miami was buzzing with activity as it was the destination for Lebron's welcome party. Lebron James made his decision to go to Miami known on his Thursday night ESPN special. Despite mad Cavs fans, and a mad Cav's owner, he is still looking forward to the upcoming season.

The 3 received keys to the cities of Miami, Miami Beach, and Miami-Dade County. The team's announcer called the arena "Dwayne Wade's House", "Lebron James' Kingdom", and "Bosh's Pit". Lebron and Chris signed for a $110,000,000 deal, and Dwayne Wade for $107,000,000 deal. All 3 signed to a 6 year deal. Laker's guard Derek Fisher has a meeting with Miami this weekend in hopes of making a deal.

What's To Come From The "Twilight" Stars

Just about everyone is in love with the Twilight series. With 3 out of 4 books done, and the final one coming in November of 2011, and sometime in 2012...What's next for the Twilight stars?

                       
Well Kristen Stewart hit the A-List after playing Bella. She's already receiving Oscar buzz for her role in "Welcome To The Rileys". Where she plays a troubled teenage stripper who gets adopted by a grieving couple. She bares her soul, and a lot less! The film was presented at the Sundance Film Festival. The picture opens in November. She's said to have other coming films such as "K-11", "On The Road", "Backwoods", & "An American Girl".

Robert Pattinson cut his famous hair to play the role of a veterinary student who abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a traveling circus as their vet in his new film "Water For Elephants" ironically he plays a character named "Jacob". He also plays the part of a young man who rises to power in Paris via his manipulation of the city's most influential and wealthy women in "Bel Ami". Both films set to release 2011.

Taylor Lautner has quite a few films set to release in the next coming years. In his next film other than the Twilight series "Abduction" he plays a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons website. He's also signed on to play the Hasbro superhero "Stretch Armstrong" once the Twilight series wraps up. There's also talk of him playing a leading role in a film titled "Cancun" no word on that one yet. Stay tuned, and I'll see what I can dig up for you.

The final film of the Twilight series has been broken into 2 parts. Much like the final film of the Harry Potter series. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" Part 1 is set to release this summer. Whereas Part 2 is set to release sometime next year. "The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn:Part 1" is set for a release date in November of 2011. Part 2 is set to release sometime in 2012.

If you can't wait do what I did, and read the books by Stephanie Meyer!!!!!!!!!!

Lebron Goes To Miami

Out of the 6 teams Lebron had to choose from he has decided to go to the Miami Heat. I'm sure plenty of fans in Cleveland are not happy, but after 7 sevens years as a Cavaliers you think they would have saw this coming as soon as his free agency came about. I'm sure plenty of people thought he was going to stay in Cleveland, or go to Chicago. The "King" made his decision known on Thursday(yesterday) July 8th.

Michael Beasley was traded to Minnesota, SUPPOSEDLY, because he looked too much like Delonte West

Sporty Swimwear

Edgy does have a place in summer. Do it the cool way without seeming so goth. This swimwear will definitely catch eyes. It's all about personal style. You can mix tops & bottoms. As well as one pieces with bikinis. I think it looks great with a monokini over a bikini.

Here are some different ways to accomplish this look

Wear this Rox-Two-O Neoprene Bikini Zip Top priced at $48.00

And pair it with this Roxy Bond One Piece Swimsuit priced at $135.00 Unzip the top so that it looks like a high-waist piece. Then put on the Rox-Two-O Neoprene Bikini Zip Top(photo above this one).

Example:

Alex Wong && Twitch SYTYCD

This performance honestly gave me life!! I loved every minute of it! I'm a lover of many things including dance, and this routine was exactly what I've been waiting to see this season. I've been a watcher of SYTYCD "So You Think You Can Dance" since Benji Schwimmer won Season 2. It's a must see for all Hip-Hop dancers.



Twitch is an All-Star from Season 4, and can be see in upcoming movies such as Step Up 3D & Stomp The Yard 2. Alex Wong is a ballet dancer who seriously made a believer out of me by owning this routine.

The song is Lil' Jon featuring LMFAO "Outta Your Mind"

Enjoy
