Another Silent Auction!!

So I'll be attending yet another industry event tonight... a fundraiser for the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment. I am going as a guest of Fox's diversity department and will be sitting next to.... BOBBY LEE... and JOHN CHO!! I'm pretty stoked.

But I also learned that there will be another silent auction tonight! I still haven't paid for my Krav Maga lessons, so I doubt I will participate. Or maybe I should? Here are the prizes I'm considering to bid on:

• Custom Hello Kitty Electric Guitar plus accessories (oh yeah!)
• The Sword of Hiro from HEROES (for protection during Armageddon)
• Framed autographed poster from House (for sister)
• 25th anniversary Star Trek Wrath of Khan ship to be signed by George Takei (Might need this ship for Armageddon as well)

Special Celebrity Sighting

I come back from lunch and guess who I see in front of my office building?

That's right... it's fucken Borat, bitches! Thank god I had my camera with me as I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Sasha Baron Cohen and should have asked to take a picture with him but he was surrounded by his crew... and I was timid around his majestic presence.

Here's a picture of Borat's ass... I like!

Remember the Corey's?

Damn! Here's my one and only advice to white people:
SAY NO TO DRUGS! For real.

My apologies

Sorry y'all. Just busy with life. It's all good. Will post more real soon.

I just posted on Grub Club though. Enjoy!

Now a moment for our sponsors

I have both good news and bad news.

The bad news first.

The new energy drink COCAINE (as featured in a past posting) has been pulled from stores nationwide amid concerns about its name... despite that the drink contains no drugs unfortunately. The FDA cited as evidence the drink's labeling and Web site, which included the statements "Speed in a Can," "Liquid Cocaine" and "Cocaine -- Instant Rush."

You would think the FDA would be busy investigating and preventing the contamination of pet food rather than poo poo-ing on a company's first amendment rights. But I guess I'm wrong.


Now for the good news.

Filmmaker John Woo is presenting a new video game called Stranglehold (one of the sponsors of the VC Film Fest) that features no other but Chow Yun Fat and it looks GOOD. Coming in Summer 2007, it will be available for next-gen video game consoles. I don't know what that means, but it sounds hot. I doubt I can play it on my Sony Playstation from 1998 though. Drat.

The tagline for the video game is as follows:

Honor is his code.
Vengeance is his mission.
Bloodshed is his only option.

Dude, it sounds like such a classic John Woo film, it's awesome!

Although Min is blocking the goods...

You get the picture. Ron Jeremy in da house!

Thank you for "A Christmas Story"

Director Bob Clark, who is well known for directing the films A Christmas Story, Black Christmas, and Porky's, has died after being involved in a car crash outside of Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 4. Both he and his 22-year-old son died after their vehicle collided head-on with an SUV of a drunk driver veering into Clark's lane.

Rest in peace, my friend. "A Christmas Story" is genius and one of my favorite films. It made me appreciate sarcasm on another level. And for that I am forever grateful.

Disturbing or Endearing... you decide!

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," said Keith Richards, the 63 year old Rolling Stones guitarist who was was quoted in comments published by British music magazine NME on Tuesday.

"He was cremated and I couldn't resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn't have cared," he said. "... It went down pretty well, and I'm still alive."

Totally, totally bummed

I was suppose to see Amy Winehouse perform at Spaceland tonight. Queen Bee, the woman who hardly goes out on a school night and is usually asleep by 9 pm, was going to accompany me too.

But Bitch cancelled her show! WTF!! Perez Hilton, the notorious gossip gangsta, reports that Amy often cancels shows because she's recovering from a night of hard partying. Dude, I report to work everyday, despite nights of hard partying. Amy needs to learn from DYY. Of course she probably doesn't need the money as bad as I do. Hence, I go to work hungover while Amy is chillin at home watching cartoons and eating caviar and shit.

I'm still lucky though. On Friday night, I went to see Peter Kruder (of Kruder & Dorfmeister) dj at King King. IT WAS AMAZING. He dj-ed from 12:30 am until 4 am! We stayed until closing and continued the festivities at Little Panda's place. Such good times! It ruined me for the rest of the weekend, but I returned (groggy) to work on Monday, unlike Amy...

RIP: Anna Nicole Smith

Some people don't believe this, but I really like Anna Nicole. I was rooting for her from day one. She deserved all the money that her late husband bequeathed to her. The Anna Nicole show was hilarious. The whole Trim Spa thing was fascinating. She loved pills, and I loved how spacey she was on them. She didn't give a fuck. Anna Nicole is a classic superstar. I'm gonna miss her.

Here's a good article in the Houston Chronicle about her. It shares my complete sentiments.

Cry For You

I found an old episode of the Mickey Mouse Club featuring the very young versions of JC Chasez, Justin Timberlake and my crush Ryan Gosling (star of Half Nelson) singing one of my favorite Jodeci songs. It inspired me to whip out my Diary of a Mad Band cd...

Before there was Borat...

There was MAHIR CAGRI! Check out his fabulous website. Thanks to Lady Pun for the good find.

I also just watched the entire first season of DA ALI G SHOW... waiting impatiently for the second season to arrive via Netflicks. His show is so much better than his movies.

Sacha Cohen is my newest crush. I love him!!

Day after Thanksgiving

Now that's HOT.

Damn, graphic artists are fast

Grrrl Power

This is a great month for women. Britney and Whitney each filed for divorce from their good-for-nothing husbands. Representive Nancy Pelosi was chosen to be the next Speaker of the House. The janitors, particularly female janitors, in Houston prevailed in their month-long struggle for a better wages and health care. My good friend Khanum beat a penis-shaped pinata with a cricket bat at her bachelorette party.

There is still so much to do in pursuit of social and economic justice for women and girls... but for today, I feel so blessed to be a woman.

Barney's not the only one who loves me

Below is a true story, based on an email sent to me by my sister:

Hi, So the boys were watching Barney this am. Barney was talking about things that we love. Then he asked the TV watchers what they loved. So I asked Christopher what he loves and he said - "Auntie Becca" -

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

There are many morals to this story. ONE: My nephew is a total genius. TWO: It's better to have nephews/nieces rather than your own children because, as you can see above, aunties are considered first when children think of love. THREE: Despite my personal distaste for Barney and most children's programming, DYY can be easily swayed by gifts and/or flattery. Consequently, I now think Barney is... okay.

I love you too, kiddo!

I know, I promised no more Halloween postings...

but I couldn't resist this one. It's so good.

Lady Pun found this picture on a celebrity website. It's Tisha Campbell (from the show, MARTIN) dressed up as Tyra Banks for Heidi Klum's halloween party.

Here's a picture of the real Tyra.

Here's Tisha looking like Tyra. Hilarious!

I can't wait!!

Sad moment in hip hop history

Kevin Federline aka K-Fed debuted his latest hip hop single at the Teen Choice Awards this past week. I tried watching the performance but I couldn't even finish it. It was that bad. You could see for yourself but you might not want to waste precious internet time. No one warned me, and I wish someone would have.

I don't know who to feel worse for... Britney or the rest of us who watched her lame ass husband perform.

African Americans need to reclaim hip hop asap!
