Retro MTV Brunch - Laguna Beach + The Hills

Well, it looks like I know what I'll be doing at 8am for the next couple of weeks...

Starting today, MTV will be showing ALL of Laguna Beach and The Hills seasons as part of "RetroMTV Brunch", yessssssssssssssssssssssssss.  From 8am - 12pm Monday through Friday, we can all get our fix of two of the best shows EVER.  I have never wanted to work from home more in my life, hahaha.

And yes, I am fully aware that I can watch these episodes whenever I want since I own the DVDs, but that still won't stop me from watching them on tv, of course.  Be sure to tune in if you're also a fan of these shows!

Watch What Happens Live on Bravo - Kristin Cavallari

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Ok, now that I've gotten that out of my system - I finally made it through on the phone for Bravo TV's Watch What Happens Live online aftershow!!! I had been on hold and was supposed to be on the tv broadcast - even though that didn't work out, I'm happy to have made it on at all :o)

It was awesome enough to be talking to Andy Cohen (you may recall our MOMENT from his book signing earlier this year), but to talk to Kristin Cavallari, who has and always will be one of my favorites from Laguna Beach/The Hills, yes, this was quite AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Here's the online episode of WWHL, it's split into two segments and my call is in this one, starting at the 3:39 mark. 

I know I probably sounded like a dummy that wasn't ready for the call, hence my "..............................HELLO?", haha.  But I swear I was really trying to be coherent- it's a little hard to know what's going on since the audio that I was hearing over the phone was about 15 seconds ahead of what I was watching online.  

By the way, Kristin, Andy, and I are totally BFFs now, they just haven't realized it yet.  LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Lady Gaga's Meat Dress

Here it is folks - the real deal Lady Gaga Meat Dress from the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards!

The infamous dress is a part of an impressive collection of female artists' clothing, personal items, and historical memorabilia as part of the "Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power" exhibit at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.  In addition to a few pieces from Lady Gaga (including her childhood piano), there are lots of stage outfits and other pieces from artists ranging from Billie Holiday to Taylor Swift.  It's a great exhibit and a fun opportunity to see these pieces up close and in person!

And for anyone that is still wondering - yes, real meat was used to make this dress. And yes, it has been preserved for display purposes, haha.

AC Birthday Weekend - DJ Pauly D!

For part of my birthday celebration, a few girl friends and I met up in Atlantic City for a night.  It was so much fun and I had a wonderful time!!

As you might be able to guess - the main event for the evening was seeing DJ Pauly D at The Pool After Dark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This actually wasn't part of the original plan, but as luck would have it he announced that he'd be at The Pool a few weeks before this specific weekend.

Ok yes, I have to say it - I didn't think it was possible, but he is even cuter in person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And.... AND..... we will be going to The Pool at Harrah's where DJ PAULY D will be deejaying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This was actually not part of the original plan, but I found out about a week ago that he will be there this Saturday. THIS IS TOTALLY FATE, I AM SURE OF IT.

Love, Love, Love: Laguna Beach + The Hills

So, I will preface this by saying that I own about 99% of the Laguna Beach/The Hills DVDs, but no matter...

According to OK! magazine, MTV will be starting a daily block of programming called Retro Mania, including back-to-back episodes of Laguna Beach and The Hills, starting today, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Granted these are all on weekdays from 9am-12pm... but I thought I'd pass this along to anyone that is working from home, or *cough* sick *cough* and at home.  Or better yet, record them to watch later a million times!!
