Eyes on the Madness- Episode 1

This is it. This is the surprise I was talking about. This video is the joint venture of Eyes on The Stars and Method To my Madness.

This episode is first in the series of (hopefully) many more to come. The awesome joint venture will cover everything Entertainment - from break ups, to make ups, from catfights, to friendships..!!

I am awfully thankful to Madness for being amazingly creative. Also, I thank Mother to the Madness from the bottom of my jumble of arteries, blood, veins (I meant heart) for being extremely patient, not throwing me out of the house, even after the loud wailing, jeering, and laughter. Oh, and for stuffing me with delicious food.

So, go ahead, watch it, and comment!!

(But please do not hate it..you will break my jumble of arteries, blood and veins...(I am assuming its still not funny...eh.)

Grammy Nominations Announced..Laugh or Cry?



Grammy Nominations Have Arrived...And How

Yes, its that time of the year. Grammy nominations were announced last week. The music lovers waited with bated breaths...wondering if their favourite artists are nominated or not, and musicians waited with fingers crossed praying that they get nominated. Being a music lover myself, I too was very excited to know who all were nominated.However, when I read the nominations list, I was thoroughly disappointed. Artists like Eminem and Katy Perry received quite a few number of nominations. While I absolutely love Katy Perry, I just did not feel it was fair that her album 'Teenage Dreams' got so many appreciative nods. Agreed that her voice is amazing, but REALLY? And Eminem? I know, his raps produce quite a few shouts of "Yo Yo!!" (sorry for my lame attempt at being Hip Hopper..), but there are so many other talented musicians who should have been nominated, but werent. Also, I can take angry, foul-mouthed rappers, and candy eating bunny like pop chicks, but they nominated Justin Baby Beiber. The hair-flipping, over proud JB. The same Beiber whose song 'Baby' seemed pretty amazing to me....before I found out it was being sung by a guy, and not a girl.

Of course, the folks at Grammys redeemed themselves slightly in my eyes by giving a few nominations to certain sensible bands and singers like Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown Band, and Cee-Lo (say what you will, but he DOES have an amazing voice..!!)

After going through the Nomination List for this year, the only thing I can do is push my disappointment aside, and wait for sensible nominations next year. And even though I am confused and disappointed, I wont miss the award ceremony for anything. Word. God, I really should stop that.

Oh, and as a sidenote, I would like you guys to know that VERY soon, you will get to greet a surprise...keep waiting!! It wont be disappointing like the aforementioned nominations!

Therefore, very soon, you guys will get an absolute surprise..just wait for it!! And keep wondering what it is...because its twice as awesome as before...(after all, it has the genius of MADNESS and EYES combined!!)
The countdown begins!!

Taylor Swift Is Dating (probably) A Much Older Guy. Surprise? Not Really.

Jake Gyllenhaal And Taylor Swift...Dating??!!!

Off late, there has been a lot of talk in the gossip circles about Taylor Swift's possible (uhm, uhm) romance with...wait for it...Jake Gyllenhaal!! At first when I heard the rumour, I totally did not belive the story considering the fact that yet another rumour was going around that Swift's mother Andrea wanted Swift to concentrate on her career instead of boys - which, I might add, is a terrible advice, considering the fact that most of Swift's songs are about budding romances (awww...) and sad break ups (noooo...)!! But after seeing the couple's various pictures circulating the net, and watching Taylor Swift's coy, rather dodgy, answer on Ellen DeGeneres Show about Mr. Gyllenhaal, I am forced to believe that they are, as a matter of fact, atleast dating each other.

Now that I have said that  I am pretty sure they are dating, comes the difficult part of expressing my opinion. Instead of doing some other important things I had to take care of,  I have been mulling over what I think of the rumoured new couple from the past couple of days. At first, I was quite apalled, to be honest. I thought Swift had learned nothing from the whole "dating-a-much-older-guy" debacle. I mean, she herself crooned in her song "Dear John" (which, according to rumours, is about John Mayer)-"Dont you think I was too young to be messed with..", and now she is off to dating another, much older guy. But when I thought a little bit more about it, I realized it is not such a bad thing after all. I mean, sure, she has had a lot, a LOT, of bad relationships, but the girl knows what she is doing!! And, one cannot deny the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal is super hot. So, I think, Pretty Girl+Hot Boy=NICE!! Also, at the end of the day, its her life, and what I, or thousands of other people think hardly matters it all.

Oh, and the most important thing, if their relationship works out, we will get to hear a lovey-dovey, cute, and romantic song on her next album about 'finding the Mr. Perfect', and if it does not end up well, we can always have fun spectulating which of the songs on her next release is about him!! Its a win-win situation, anyway you look at it!! So,  I would say, let us wait and see the future of their relationship!!!

Move Over, Britta, Im all About Jeff And Annie

I started watching Community very recently, and to be honest, Im completely hooked. Its an extremely novel concept, and I cannot get enough of it. As a matter of fact, I watched 6 of its episodes BACK to BACK. Even though I am sick. The only...glitch, as I would like to call it, is the pairing between the couples. As any Community fan would know, Joel McHale (who is amazing) potrays the role of Jeff Winger, a "less than legitimate" lawyer who joins the Greendale Community College to prevent getting sacked, or, in law language, disbarred, and ends up falling for his fellow Spanish class student, Britta Perry. Now, all the characters in the series are really well-rounded, easy to connect with, and, not to mention, extremely funny. So why do I say the series have a glitch in the pairing, or coupling, if you may? Well, I have always been a fan of unusual pairing, especially in the world of TV series. I mean, when eveyone wanted Dan and Serena together as a couple on Gossip Girl, I wanted Dan to be with Blair. When the world REALLY wanted to see Meredith and Derek together on Grey's Anatomy, I was all for Derek and Addison as a couple. My opinions have often been met with raised eyebrows, but I feel we should think out-of-the-box!! I mean, shouldnt serials have wild imaginations and story lines? In the same manner, while many people wish and hope and pray to see Britta and Jeff together, I have, from the very first episode, wanted to see Jeff with the nerdy, competitive, and, not to forget, much younger, Annie Edison. I mean, this pairing would be so much more..unusual! And for the first time, I think majority of Community fans agree with me, atleast judging by their YouTube comments.

                    


                                                          

Some of the Community fans, though, replied viciously, saying (more or less) that their pairing would be bordering pedophilia. Uhm, excuse me? Annie is no CHILD. Yes, she is much younger than Jeff's character, but, hey, Shania Twain was much younger than her ex husband. And they were together for over a decade. That speas for itself. Love knows not of age.


To be very clear - I love Britta as a character. But Britta-Jeff..not something I am a fan of.  I want the serial to break away from those usual, stereotypical, run-of -the-mill romances, and have a wildly hilarious take on Jeff and Annie!! Go 'Jeannie'!!!

Miley's Heart Owned (Probably) By Her Parents Divorcing.

Recently, I heard news that Miley Cyrus has become so heartbroken over the impending disaster, oops, I meant divorce, of her parents that she has taken to acting like an adult to ease the pain. When I first heard the news, I went, "WHAT???", and not because I was shocked to hear about the divorce (this IS Hollywood we are talking about, folks), but the dumb theory that tried to explain Miley Cyrus's recent, lets just say, behaviour. I mean, Miley is hardly a small kid whose childhood is completely destroyed by the earth shattering news. As a matter of fact, judging by her recent photos, interviews and songs (ahem ahem...anybody remember "Who Owns My Heart?"), she is anything but a kid.

While critics all over the world are debating the really important issue of "What has made Miley Cyrus go all Britney-esque?", I am taking a completely different approach on the whole issue. Sure, her recent antics are questionable, but I took a different, lighter view of things, and instead of fretting over her Gone-Ballistic-After-Disney ways, I decided to just enjoy what is clearly a deliberate move by Ms Cyrus. To all those people who blame her parents's divorce on her dressing sense, lifestyle choices, etcetra, etcetra, I say - Why do you even care? Why dont we all just sit back and let the girl do what she is doing, get a few laughs out of it, discuss it as an entertaining topic, and, quoting Beatles, "LET IT BE"? After all, she is an entertainer, and as long as she keeps doing what she does best, we should stop caring about the rest!
