Lady Gaga looks shockingly normal on the Jan 2010 cover of Elle magazine, as well as in her interview. I am such a huge fan, even though she did cross the line with me with her Muppet obsession. Still, she is so talented and beautiful, and I admire that she stays true to herself [Source]: If you haven't already, go watch her music videos! Paparazzi and Bad Romance are my favorites so far.

January 2010 is a double cover for ELLE Magazine. One cover is Lady Gaga, the other is Britney Spears with her pair of treasures, Sean Preston and Jayden James.As cute as that is, it's kinda weird. ELLE is predominantly a fashion magazine and the tater tots don't exactly fit that image. A spread with the kiddies, inside the magazine, would have been nicer.What's next? Kate Gosselin [...]

OMG! I don't know why but I cannot, CANNOT for the life of me obtain a drama-free Chanel purse. Over three weeks ago, I ordered a red bag from my sales associate in Houston, Texas and had it shipped all the way from the U.S. to Singapore. That went well until I opened the box and was greeted with the most offensive shade of red ever known to mankind. Its horrid brown undertone quite frankly

Yesterday, 11 teens showed up for our NIA exercise program paid for by the Fit for Life grant. NIA blends different disciplines of dance, martial arts, and healing arts. Pat, our instructor, led us in a variety of moves during our 45-minute program, and I had to turn on the AC because we were sweating! It was a fun and energetic experience, and I would highly recommend it as a fitness activity. [...]

Emily Osment had a LOT of fun performing her song “You Are the Only One” off her EP All The Right Wrongs.

I'm conflicted about Lourdes Leon, Madonna's oh-so-oft-photographed progeny. I kind of wish she dressed a little nicer and was a better style role model for all the teens who look to her for fashion ideas. But, I also respect that she kind of dresses like any trashy teen at the mall sometimes, and she has every right to do so. So, I appreciate the normal-girlness of her style.In this pic[...]
