Wanna be Startin’ Something

Full disclosure back to school is kicking my ass and I’ve had two sick kids.  This means that I haven’t had too much time to gather up some news, or write out a funny thought.  I think I’m bouncing back.  I’m trying anyway…  so bear with me here… (also relax Grammar police it is bear I googled it check it out HERE).

ONE PERSON WHO MIGHT ENJOY IT

Happy Birthday, Michael Jackson

Today Michael Jackson would have been 60.  It’s been almost 10 years since his passing, and his influence is everywhere.

Mark Ronson did an AMAZING remix of some of Michael’s best songs.  Check it outHERE and remember why he will always be known as the greatest to ever do it.

Jenny From the Block goes Vanguard  

In what one can only call divine intervention, this last weekend was the MTV Video Awards.  This year the night’s biggest award, the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award was presented to none other than, Jennifer Lopez.

Little Vanguard Award History: it is presented at the MTV Video Music awards to music performers, recognizing accomplishments in music and film. The first Vanguard awards were presented in 1984 at the first ever VMA’s, and renamed in 1991 in honor of the late Michael Jackson. The award is also given to music video directors who have created some of the most acclaimed music videos aired by the network.  ClickHERE for a link to a list of past recipients.

I came to love JLo in her breakthrough performance in Selena.  That girl performed Como La Flor and I was hers forever.  For those who haven’t seen the movie, I don’t know what you are waiting for.  Jenny (I call her that now) did a tribute performance to Selena at the 2015 Billboard Awards which you can find HERE 

Her VMA Vanguard performance was nothing short of spectacular.  Obviously, she’s Jennifer F’ing Lopez.  She does nothing halfway, and I’m pretty sure figured out how to stop aging. You can catch the entire performance by clicking the picture or clickingHERE.

You can see her beautiful speech HERE

When will she tell me how I can get my husband to look at me the way Alex Rodriguez looks at her performing.  Seriously- husband how about a little ovation for me when I cook or write this awesome newsletter?

Random Findings From Around the Internet 

Drake‘s biggest fan, Sofia Sanchez, just got a visit from her favorite artist.  But in even bigger more exciting news one week later she would be getting a new heart.  Check out the whole story HERE.

As mentioned above several times, the VMA‘s were last weekend.  Click HERE for a list of winners, and HERE for some of the fashion reviews.

Christina Aguilera is taking us back to the days where her and Britney were taking over the world.  In her recent Cosmopolitan interview she recalls how hard it was for her to be pitted against Brit Brit and labeled as the “bad girl”.   I never took a side here.  I loved you both equally, and so did Madonna…  Check out the article HERE.

ok maybe Madonna had a favorite.  But how much weight can we give Madonna now? She is a little crazy now and getting a ton of heat for her very bizarre Aretha tribute at the VMA’s.  You can find that HERE.

Can’t imagine why though? Seems so appropriate {please sense sarcasm}

What’s on my list to watch next? Give me ideas people!
Have a suggestion? Let me know! 

Love Letters to All the Boys I’ve Loved:  I cannot say enough good things about this movie.  It leans chick flick, so sorry gentlemen.  However if you need a little escape from the troubles of work or from dodging that mom in the hallway, or from helping with homework, or just because you want to watch something happy.  Go see this movie.  It’s not too long and it’s a really adorable movie about a girl in high school who is shy and finds love.  Obviously there are letters involved.  Go!

Jack Ryan: Jim (John Krasinski) from the Office is back on TV in Amazon’s new show Jack Ryan. It’s a James Bourned sort of thing where there’s CIA and he’s a spy and chaos ensues.  I love Jim, so where he goes I follow. Check out the preview HERE.  Premiers this Friday, August 31 on Amazon.

Ozark: (Netflix) Back for it’s second season Ozark picks up just where the first one left us.  Marty Byrd is laundering money and Ozark is not exactly on my bucket list of places I want to visit. Check out the preview of what is coming HERE.  HERE is an article about the show, in case you were interested in catching up.
