What did they DO to you? (4) A Love, A Kate, & A Jolie.

So awhile ago I started a series called "What did they DO to you?"  It's pretty much the horror that is Hollywood today.  Here are my other posts (here, here & here) which are
singers, actors/actresses, etc.  

*note:  I do feel bad for these people.   I'm sure they have a lot of pressure to look good or young, but in the end they are just making it worse*

Today the 3 women I focused on were Courtney Love, whom has been up front mostly about plastic surgery & drug use.  Then Kate Bosworth & Angelina Jolie and their weight fluctuation.   I am not by anyways saying they had an eating disorder, however they had dramatic weight changes.   Perhaps stress, illness, etc.  I can imagine the pressure on these actors/actresses to lose weight or be a certain size.

Courtney Love - 

mostly known for being a rocker and being married to Kurt Cobain

Kate Bosworth - 

movie star, and I mostly know her from "Blue Crush" - actually a pretty decent movie

Angelina Jolie - 

no explanation really needed about who this is, right?

 Tomb Raider

Anybody that comes to mind when you think about Hollywood & what had happened to them?

What did they DO to you? (3) Men Edition

So awhile ago I started a series (that I am about to pick up again) called "What did they DO to you?"  It's pretty much the horror that is Hollywood today.  Here are my first posts (here and here) which are all female singers, actresses, etc.  

*note:  I do feel bad for these people.   I'm sure they have a lot of pressure to look good or young, but in the end they are just making it worse*

Wayne Newton

Bruce Jenner.   Or as people know him today, Kardashian's step dad

 Mickey Rourke .   Why did you have to do this to your face?

 Carrot Top.  I mean this actually terrifies me. 

And probably the most famous in plastic surgery history.  Michael Jackson.  

He used to so pretty good looking.

 So which one do you think is the worst?  Did I miss anyone?  

Tune in soon for the next installment! 

There's just too much gossip

It's Monday...again.   So here I am, linking up with Leeann. 

-----------------------------

I'm exhausted.  Since last Wednesday night until yesterday, I was at my parents.    I love visiting them, but with Mason...help me.

Their home is not toddler proofed, so he is constantly getting in to something.  And he no longer sleeps in a Pack & Play so he sleeps in the bed with me.

First night, he was up about 7 times crying.  2nd, he had horrible night terrors.  3rd night, he did good but we had to get up early to travel 2 hours to a birthday party.  And it goes on.  And I'm tired...and about to start my IV drip of coffee.  

So this is my gripping weekend gossip.

* Celebrated my niece, Juliana's, 2nd birthday.

* And saw her, too cute for words, sister Madeleine 

* I played "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" with the Royals :)

* File this under things I just don't understand. Parents who are bundled up and their children in a t-shirt. (courtesy of US Weekly)

* Figured out why people who have cats take tons of pictures of them.  They do the cutest things.  This is Jack.  And he is sick of my picture taking.

- Ugh, I have a feeling I am going to be exhausted for awhile.  And that's not good because I have one week to lose 1.2 lbs for my dietbet.   Which means working out.   I'm just hoping the energy fairy (there is one right?) will rain her magic dust/protein powder upon me. -    

Tuesday's are just not into me.

Mondays either.  

But, I had this idea.

I think Monday should be known as "weekend recovery day" where we do absolutely nothing.

And then there is Tuesday. 

 I have the worst time writing a post for Tuesday. 

 I just don't feel it.  If one can feel for a day to write a blog post.

- Alana.  If you are reading this...you know that post I was talking about.  I swear it's coming.  It will be worth it.

- This is Wisconsin.  Brrr.  Suck it weather.

- If I have not responded to your emails/comments in the past few weeks.  Today is the day.  Please forgive me.  Also working on the facebook page for the Midwest Bloggers.

- I forgot to show my favorite Amy Poehler outfit for the Golden Globes.  I truly heart her.

- I have so many blog friends that I tweet/email/facebook but I would love to text with them.  However when I ask for a number I feel like a stalker.  So I have downloaded this free texting app.  You want to text with me?  Email me, maybe?  *lamesauce*

- Ron Swanson is my new drinking buddy.  And he doesn't disappoint.

- The truth.

Finally.  You guys remember the popular "what did they do to you?" posts?  Well it comes back next week!  

If you feel like being entertained here is Part I and Part II.

Good-Bye Tuesday.  I hate you too.

Those Globes? Golden.

Golden Globes 2013?  Success.  Mostly due to Tina & Amy.  Please come back next year.

Best Lines:

"Taylor Swift stay away from Michael J. Fox's son"  -Tina Fey

"Glad we got you through middle school Lena" -Tina Fey

"We're gonna go home with Jodie Foster!" -Amy Poehler

"I can't feel my ears" -Aziz Ansari

"That was Hilary's husband!"  "Bill Rodham Clinton" -Tina & Amy

Thoughts:

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler kick ass.

I know it's a dinner/causal ceremony but I can't stand when people are talking while presenters are.

Michael J Fox's son looks exactly like him.

I need to see *Argo *Lincoln *Silver Linings Playbook

Ben Affleck is hot

Bradley Cooper is hot

Paul Rudd is hilarious

Almost died.

Laughed like crazy.

 

Bill Clinton.  Night made. (my love for him?  check it out)

Worst Dressed:  Halle Berry.  I love the girl but come on.  You look like you have a overly large uni-boob.  

Best Dressed: I loved a lot of dresses but this one was the best.  Jennifer Garner is perfection.

Scrambled

Scrambled thoughts, not eggs.  Even though I am hungry now.

Hmmm.

* Jessica Simpson pregnant again?  

 Oh no, what about her million dollar contract with Weight Watchers?

  Big Deal.  She's a person. 

 She can get pregnant again if she wants, even before losing all the weight from the first time. *gasp*

  Or maybe it is all just a rumor.

This is obviously not her now.  

* Anyone watch X Factor? 

 So I really like the all-girl group Fifth Harmony, however I'm skeptical.  In today's world I don't see an all girl group making it.  They are really good but anyone remember P. Diddy and Making the Band?   I liked Danity Kane but that did not last long.

* Dancing with the Stars.  

I am so happy Melissa won.  I love Shawn Johnson but come on, we needed a new champion and Melissa definitely earned it.

* Weight Watchers.  

Yeah I did it.  

Now if only I could actually get used to keeping track of everything that I eat and drink.  Ugh.

* Baby Fever.  

My cousin just had a baby girl, Lily, the other day.   And Mason is almost 3.  That itch has started again.  However I really want to lose some weight before I try and get pregnant.   I had Gestational Diabetes with Mason and I know it will be coming with the next pregnancy so I need to try and get healthier for my sake and the baby's. 

* My son.

He has actually been liking to go to time-out lately.  He thinks it's a fun game.  Help me.

* Power ball?  

I didn't win.

And finally, 

* I wish I was taking a nap right now.

What did they DO to you? (2)

Hi!  What's up?  Not much here.  (did that take you back to writing notes in school?)
So a while ago I posted the first part of this mini-series.  About what fame, entertainment industry, etc...does to some people.  

Some examples of what is happening to these girls/women?  Bad hair, makeup, drugs, plastic surgery, personal style, nutrition...

It's actually really sad about what it does to some of them, and how sometimes they feel the need to go to the extremes to stay relevant/beautiful.

Melissa Gilbert:  Known for being on "Little House on the Prairie" and current season of "Dancing With The Stars"
*fun fact- she had a house close to my husband's grandparents in Wisconsin*

Amy Winehouse:  Grammy Award winning singer, who unfortunately died way too early.  I love the song "Rehab" but always feel guilty for liking it...

Heidi Montag:  Known for being a reality "star" and all around attention whore.  (excuse the language) She was a pretty, wholesome looking girl who changed almost everything about herself!  I don't think she looks any better and the sad part is, she can never go back.  

*all images via google*
Well tune in next week for part III.  I even have a man in mind.  

Oh and before I go, I had a dream about Jon Hamm last night (yummy) but I made him do his hair like on "Mad Men" so he would look more like Don Draper.  When I woke up I told myself not to be so picky next time...

Catch ya later bugs!

What did they DO to you?!! (1)

So while doing some quality TV watching the other night, I got to thinking.  What happened to this girl?  Well this girl was Aubrey O'Day.  She is of Diddy/Puffy/Sean Combs Making the Band fame, and once was in a girl group "Danity Kane".  And I had the CD...actually wasn't too shabby.   

However this girl is now on the Celebrity Apprentice and she is labeled as a "Pop Star".  Um yah.  I really don't consider Aubrey a Pop Star.  She is no Britney or Lady Gaga.  

Anyways, on to what this post is really about.  What fame, entertainment industry, etc...does to some of these girls.  So once I started thinking, a lot actually came to mind so this is going to be a mini-series I do every week.

Some examples of what is happening to these girls/women?  Bad hair, makeup, plastic surgery, personal style...

Let the show begin -

Aubrey O'Day:  (info: see above)

Before

After

Nikki Cox:  

(info: had her own show "Nikki"- which I used to watch and also starred in "Las Vegas")

Before

After

Megan Fox: (info- starred in "Hope & Faith", "Transformers" and is known as being super-hot...not my words)   I don't really believe Megan Fox had work done but I just think she had quite the dramatic change, which could just be the result of aging.)

*Rumor has it (not the Adele song, but that is now stuck my head) that she is expecting her first child.*

Before

After

So what do you think?  Do you agree?

Tune in next week for Part II!!!

Have a great day lovies!
