The NeverEnding Story Continue.

Some of you know that I'm OBSESSED with the 1980s film THE NEVERENDING STORY and some of you don't give a shit. :)

The Hollywood Reporter just announced that Warner Brothers is remaking this classic film. And as long as the hot Childlike Empress is in the movie then I'll be watching from the front row!

Well probably not the actual front row. I have a strong eye prescription and will have trouble seeing all the images on the screen if I sit that close. So I'll be watching from the middle back of the theater with a lot of excitement.



Below is the Kids Incorporated version on the film's bad-ass theme song:

My Bruised Noggin

Tonight I dropped a weighted bar on my head while working out. I have a bump on my right temple and am icing it in hopes that the swelling will go down.

My mom always told me that if you have trauma to head that you shouldn't fall asleep because you could slip into a coma and possibly never wake up.

Ok, I'm off to bed now. Nite nite!

Sadness

Tonight I felt really sad and for some reason my sad little brain wondered to the idea of Britney Spears and how sad she must get sometimes.

I'm not really sure where that thought came from but I decided to write a letter to Britney just in case she's sad too:


Dear Britney Spears,

Hey, what's up Britney?

You're really fun to watch dance.

I'm sorry you can't go to Starbucks without being harassed by photographers. Maybe you should try the CoffeeBean instead.

I'm sure even though you are loved by millions you probably dwell on the few that aren't supportive of you.

Don't be sad.

Be happy.

I'm glad we had this talk.

Sincerely,

Bridget McManus


p.s. Why the FUCK am I writing Britney Spears a letter on my blog? I'm no longer sad I'm just confused now.

Barbara Walters Needs Another Lap Dance

Tonight marked the annual Barbara Walters post-Oscar special. Barbara interviewed the Jonas Brothers (umm why?), Anne Hathaway, Mickey Rourke and Oscar host, Hugh Jackman.

At the end of her interview with Hugh (yes, we're on a first name basis) Barbara requested that he give her a lap dance. The lap dance was an encore performance because Hugh previously gave Barbara a lap dance when he performed on Broadway in The Boy from Oz.

Although Barbara looks AMAZING for her age or anyone's age for that matter- if she asked me for a lap dance I would have to politely decline her request for gyration.

BUT below is a list of people that I WOULD give a lap dance to (with my spouses approval and a small fee, of course):

#1 Hillary Rodham Clinton
#2 Karman Kregloe

Ok that's the end of the list.
*Please note the above list is not necessarily in the correct order.
**Or is it?....

Who would you give a lap dance to?

Penis

Whilst walking home from my vegan lunch yesterday I saw a man standing in the middle of a busy intersection. I was concerned that maybe he was intoxicated and would wander into traffic and hurt him and others. I started to cross over to his side of the street to check on him and that's when I saw his... PENIS!

The guy pulled his penis out and started peeing in the street and on the cars that drove by and honked at him. This entire incident was traumatizing so I have decided to make a list of things I would rather see than this strange man's penis:

#1 Anything else in the entire world but his penis.
#2 A unicorn (or unicorns- in case there are unicorn families)
#3 A taping of the David Letterman.
#4 Hilary Clinton become president of the United States
#5 Legalized gay married for the world.

FUN!

I googled the word "FUN" and this is what I found:




Does this look fun to you?

HOUSE BUNNY Film Review

I'm a big fan of Anna Ferris because she has no problem making a jackass out of herself. She has great comedic timing and an array of zany facial expressions. So to support her I rented HOUSE BUNNY.

The movie was terrible and funny at the same time so I'm going to call it "terribly funny".

Anna (yes, we're on a first name basis) plays Shelley, a Playboy bunny, who is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta.

The movie has some very bizarre moments but here's 5 reasons you should see this "terribly funny" film:


#1. Hugh Hefner's bad over-acting. I heart him.

#2. A. Katherine Mcphee karaokeing to "Like a Loser"- a rendition of "Like a Virgin" p.s. She's pregnant in the film and nobody mentions or seems to care who the father is. AWESOME!

#2. B. Rumer Willis' "Forrest Gump" run and the shedding of her metal body brace. Why the hell is she wearing it in the first place- nobody knows.

#3. When the elderly start dancing and swinging their canes and walkers around.

#4. When Anna (yes, we're friends-in my mind at least- I thought we covered that already) says, "The eyes are the nipples of the face." Shakespeare couldn't have written it better.

#5. Anna Ferris, Anna and her plethora of skanky costumes, Anna's monologue about her heart not really being located in her skull, Anna getting severe leg burns while attempting to reenact the Marilyn Monroe scene over the manhole, Anna screaming, "Sweet balls!" as she's staring into a man's crotch, Anna, Anna, and Anna!

New Web Show!

Hi guys!

Today on Afterellen.com, Briana Stockton (from BRAVO's WORKOUT) premiered her new workout show, Advanced P.E.!

The show documents 8 women (Karman and I included) as we get in shape for The Club Skirts Dinah, the largest lesbian gathering in the world for women. Briana is a fitness trainer and nutritional advocate who pushes our asses to the limit. Braina trains us 5 nights a week for 2hrs + and educates us on living on a raw food diet.

I'm really proud of this show and Briana. Please love her as much as I do. She really cares about women's health and to top it all off the at home viewer who sheds off the most weight by incorporating Briana's daily activities and practices proper healthy eating will have a chance to win a weekend VIP All Access Festival Pass to The Club Skirts.

See you at the Dinah!

ADVANCED P.E.

Do you use the YELLOW PAGES?

Every few months a 2lbs YELLOW PAGES book gets placed outside of my apartment. It just shows up on my doorstep without any warning, possibly brought by Santa's elves. Or maybe Santa's demoted elves.

I can't say that I've ever used a YELLOW PAGES book and thanks to the internet I'm sure I will never use one but does anyone else use the book?

At first I thought,"No, no one uses the YELLOW PAGES!", but then I started thinking about all the elderly people in the middle of the country that might not know how to use the internet or my mother in Connecticut that gets frazzled just checking her email account. Maybe my mom uses the YELLOW PAGES book? And why do I keep capitalizing "YELLOW PAGES"? Ok, I'll stop doing that...

Dear Mr. Demoted Elf,

I don't want the Yellow Pages! I never wanted the Yellow Pages and now because of you I feel pressured to use it or at least dispose of this neon 2lbs eyesore laying outside my front door.

And now feel guilty throwing out this book that I never asked for and I'm guessing was composed of 3 hacked down defenseless trees. It's as if I ordered a chicken caesar salad without the chicken, the waiter messed up and brought me the chicken anyway and then he threw the chicken out after finally realizing that he messed up my order. That chicken died in vain like the trees died in vain. How do you sleep at night you tiny elf bastard?!?!

Sincerely,
Bridget


p.s. Why did I make the bad waiter and the demoted elf both male characters? Does someone have issues?

p.p.s. The answer to the above question is "Yes!"

p.p.p.s. Do you use the Yellow Pages?

BRUNCH WITH MELANGE

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!! (or for the international readers, Happy Sunday night or Monday morning!)

This week on BRUNCH I'm in bed with lesbian hip hop sensation, the singer and actor Melange Lavonne. Melange talks about being an out rapper, her battle with cancer, and gives a live performance of her song, "I've Got You."

Melange is a breathe of fresh air and I hope you love her as much as I do.

Bridget

p.s. She's a TERRIBLE pillow fighter!

p.p.s. Why aren't the Patriots playing in the Super Bowl?
