Happy, Sappy News

What with Eva Longoria's divorce, the shooting the TV thing on Dancing With the Stars (something about Bristol Palin?) and Lindsay Lohan's mission for attention, let's talk about happy things in the news today!

Pink is preggers!! I didn't see that one coming either, but I'm not sure why. She's happily married and keeps outdoing herself! I LOVE Pink, she's badass. Literally, this is one woman I'd be scared to piss off. She's got an amazing voice and is a fabulous entertainer. And no, she isn't filtered. I know this because I saw her in concert waaaaay back when she was opening for N*Sync. This was not one of those touring together openers, it was more like a "2 or 3 songs and then booted off the stage" kinda opener. She wasn't special enough back then to waste money on for live filtering. Even so, she was a great performer back then too. Kind of a funky Inspector Gadget theme, but that was cool back then. I was 11, STFU.

Another piece of news that makes me all warm and tingly- Ryan Reynolds was named Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine. It's ABOUT DAMN TIME!! That man is so gorgeous... cue the ending of Wolverine: Origins. Need I say more? In all actuality, that actor wasn't him but I don't care. It was him in my head and I fail to see the difference. Back to my point: I find this well-deserved title pretty ironic because his wife was named Sexiest Woman of the Year a while back, only to be retracted later when a poll was actually done and a shocking majority of men said "um, no!" I don't hear anyone fighting Ryan Reynolds' glory now, must make her feel like ass. She should, she's not exactly sex on a stick.

And congrats are in order for Prince Willy and Miss Kate! How exciting, they have been inching towards a marriage for what, 3 years now? I thought they were already engaged but umm... I lied? He gave her his mama's engagement ring, and for anyone reading this after being in a coma for 15 years, Princess Di died in 1997. This Kate Middleton character is probably scared out of her booties wearing this ring. It's this pretty big ol' honkin' oval sapphire surrounded by diamonds and apparently it's the center of the universe in the UK. Can you blame them? Most of the world hasn't gotten over her death yet. And this huge piece of history is on one person's finger... talk about pressure. I'd put that sucker in a vault surrounded by a mote with sharks with freakin' laser beams on their heads. I can't even keep my own shit in order, much less this treasured artifact once worn by one of the world's favorite people. More power to Kate if she can manage to not drop it down the sink. I'd love to see that conversation- "Umm.... honnney?? Can you swim across the Atlantic and then call me so I can tell you something?"

I occasionally have to look up happy news to perk myself up, on days much like today. Not that it brings me joy to see others having a grand ol' time, but because I take pleasure in fast forwarding to the future and the negative news I'll read on these same topics. I'm such a negative nelly. :-)
