Told. You. So.

Last week, I made a claim that the Russian Spy Controversy was all a ploy to get people to see Angelina Jolie’s new movie. Well, this little ditty in the NY Post only confirms my suspicions:

“Angelina Jolie wants to get up close and personal with redheaded Russian spy Anna Chapman.

Jolie — who plays a suspected Russian agent in her new flick ‘Salt’ — has asked local promoters to invite Chapman, the real-life femme fatale, to the Moscow premiere of her movie, for which the Oscar-winning actress is expected to arrive next week, the promoters said.”

Hail to publicity stunts. I’m not backing down on this one!

The Hills: Best Finale Ever?

Now I can’t speak to the entire episode, because I DVRed it and only watched the end, but how about that final scene? Great wasn’t it?

After all these years, through Laguna Beach and Newport Harbor (which was god-awful) to The Hills and The City, we’ve speculated about the “reality” of these reality series. We’ve chided MTV for vapid story lines and unrealistic characters. But we still watched, and MTV knew it had us, so they continued to produce these mind-numbing, maybe 15-minute shows, all the while the joke obviously being on us.

Bravo to MTV for pointing the finger back at the audience, and for having a sense of humor. While the Sopranos left us angry, while Lost left us confused, and while many other shows end with no resolution whatsoever, you went out on a perfect note.

Even when seemingly on the losing end, MTV always seems to pull it together to make itself iconic.

Guy of the Month: Trevor Turnbull

Number 17.

Name: Trev
Age: 13
Occupation: 8th grader, future NY Ranger
Likes: hockey, Xbox, Carvel flying saucers
Dislikes: When people take his spot at “the club”

Our little boy is growing up. Fact, when Trevor Turnbull turns 13 today – July 13 – he will officially be the same age I was when he was born. As scary as that thought is for me, this kid thinks he’s the shiz and doesn’t indulge me when I get sentimental about the 8 hours I spent in the hospital waiting for him to be born. Oh, youth.

Trevor is the oldest child of my Uncle Tom and Aunt Eileen, and while I always thought he was truly a gift to me and my cousins who are much older, getting to know him now as a teenager has been pretty cool.
