And the Award goes to...

Ugh. Anyone else watch the Emmy's last night? I'm pretty sure they're still going on...why do they have to be so freakin' loooonnnggg???

Much more exciting are the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards on September 12.

Ke$ha filmed her own stunts for one promo video. She had to wear a harness for a falling scene, which she claims is much harder than it looks. She told MTV, "I did do all my own stunts today, and my vag hurts. It was kind of scary, because . . . I was flying around." She added, "I was only, like, 12 feet high. Worst-case scenario: I just would have, like, broke an arm."

Was it worth it? You tell me.

Dancing with the...Stars???

Guilty pleassure TV is back, baby! Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars returns Septemeber 20th. The official line-up will be announced next Monday, but in the meantime, the rumours continue to swirl. In some cases "stars" is used very loosely...what do you think of these potential cast members?

Michael Bolton, Kirstie Alley, Audrina (from the Emmy award winning show, The Hills), Brandy, Ali and Roberto from The Bachelorette, David Hasselhoff and...la piece de resistance...Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino.

Like I said, in some cases "stars" is used loosely. Cough, cough...The Situation...cough, cough.

The Ultimate Mash-Up

This. Is. Unbelievable.



But he makes it believable at the end when he breaks it down to show us how he made this.

Teenage Dream (Katy Perry) and Just the Way You Are (Bruno Mars). Two great songs, now one AMAZING Mash-Up!!

Save the BC Black Bears

Last week we heard about the over 15 Black Bears in Christina Lake who were found roaming around a property where police were doing a pot bust. Turns out the bears were being fed dog food for the past few years as a way to keep them coming back and consequently guarding the drug house.

Wildlife officials said that because they have been fed by humans for the past few years, they're no longer capable of fending for themselves, and as a result would have to be put down. That didn't go over well. An online petition has been formed, looking for 2, 500 signatures to prevent this from happening.

Is this for real? No, seriously...is it?

A while back we heard rumours that Casey Affleck was making a movie about Joaquin Pheonix and his career. And it was going to be kinda weird. JP was doing all kinds of weirdo stunts, like appearing on the Dave Letterman show looking/acting like this. And other strange stuff like that.

So anyway. This documentary is about a lost year in the life of JP, as he quits Hollywood and takes the year off from movies to focus on his rap career.

But is this doc for real? Some say it's a mockumentary and that JP is taking method-acting to the extreme. Of course Casey Affleck and JP both insist it's for real and not a publicity stunt.

What do you think? I'm Still Here comes out September 10 in the US.

Ahoy!

How crazy is all this talk about that migrant ship coming to the West Coast?

What? You don't know what I'm talking about?

OK, cliff notes version...The MV Sun Sea left Thailand 3 months ago and officials believe it's on its way to the island! So where are these migrants from? Sri Lanka. About 300 of them. Possibly some Tamil Tigers, too. Uh Oh.

Not only are they illegal, but many of them could be experiencing health problems, too. So Canadian officials will likely bring the ship to Victoria, where border officials, medical staff from Vic Gen, and everyone in between will be ready to deal with the situation.

At about 10:30am Thursday, the ship was tracked just west of Ucluelet.

Follow it here. At least then you'll be prepared.

To Refurbish or Replace...

That is the question. Err..was the question.

Today City Hall finally came to a conclusion on the fate of The Johnston Street Bridge...

Thoughts? Whether you're in favour, or not so much...make sure to be at the referendum on November 20 and vote!

Afterall, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Too cheesy?

You know your job sucks when...

you curse out a customer, get on the airplane intercom to proclaim how much you hate your work and want to quit, then steal beer from the drink cart and activate the emergency exit for a quick tarmac getaway.

Yes. If you feel the need to do any of the above, your job must suck. Or you're crazy.

Like Steven Slater with JetBlue. That's exactly what he did last week as a flight was about to take off. One passenger wasn't co-operating with the "seatbelt" rule and kept on resisting...so Steven took matters into his own hands.

He was arrested later at his home (facing 7 years in prison)...and since the incident, when asked if he has anything to say to the passenger, Steven replied "ha ha". Meanwhile, thousands of fans have joined a Steven Slater Tribute page on Facebook. So there's the silver lining??

What was your worst job?

WARNING!!!

If you're a bigtime animal lover who's intial reaction upon seeing animals who need love and care is to adopt them...however many...you could wind up with a couple dogs after reading this.

That's my disclaimer.

The Victoria SPCA recently came by over 40 chihuahuas who need either foster care or (better yet) a permanent LOVING home. The dogs were dropped off last week, and according to the SPCA, they're all very well behaved and affectionate.

They're looking for either donations for the medical expenses, or adoptive families. The Victoria SPCA is located at 3150 Napier Lane. You can reach them at 250-388-7722. The shelter is open for adoption from noon to 5 p.m., seven days a week.

Go ahead, make the call. Paris Hilton would.

Think you can Sing?

That's the challenge courtesy of Jason Derulo. But more specifically, do you think you can sing HIS songs?

If you do participate in this fun little experiment, make sure you nail his signature "Jason Deeerrrllllooo". Because as we all know, JD insists on starting all his songs by singing his own name.

Must be Cold in Miami!

He's a man of his word, I'll give him that. During the Wold Cup Enrique Iglesias promised that if Spain were to win, he'd partake in some naked Miami waterskiing. Naturally.

Consider yourself warned.

Still brave enough to watch? OOOOOK...weirdo.

I Love Megan Fox...I mean The Way You Lie

The new video for Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie" is now out. Featuring cameo's from Dominic Monaghan (LOST) and Megan Fox, who donated the money she made from the video to a women's shelter. Pretty cool.

Back to the video...WOW. It was intense. I felt like it should have had some warnings...like "MUST BE 18 TO WATCH/HEAR THIS".

So you know what? I'm going to issue that warning. Also? DON'T SEND ME HATE MAIL FOR POSTING THIS...it's the unsensored version, and we all know Em isn't one to avoid a couple F-bombs.

OK, now that I've covered myself, here it is.
