**WHERE R JESSI AND DAN!? ALERTZ** Watching a Hills episode just isn’t the same w/out the two of them piping up at every commercial break (sniffle.) The drama packed premier of The Hills Season 5 didn’t disappoint while being a good example of y this is the last season of this show. (Whispers) Jessi, Dan…

Hey everyone. So before I left the city for my Ohio jaunt, I had a great chance to go to a Broadway show. This is one, I’ve been pining over since I moved to the city in 2004. Avenue Q, I heard it was a little raunchy and a little vulgar, so it was right up my alley. A few weeks ago, my cousin Bruce called me and was like “Jen, I got us tickets! So bring your brother and lets go!” Awesome!

I’ve only been to one other Broadway show, “Mamma Mia!“, I loved it. So I knew I would have a great time. When we sat down in the theater, the set was so hilarious and it totally mocked a real NYC sdiveet. When the puppets came out, you could see the puppet masters, but you seriously don’t even pay attention to them at all! I was mesmerized by the realistic puppet manorisms; they were like real people.

The basis of the story is; Princeton, a recent college graduate, is looking for an affordable apartment in New York City, while divying to find his purpose in life (”What Do You Do with a BA in English”). At Avenue Q, he meets a group of neighbors: Kate Monster, a single assistant kindergarten teacher; Nicky and Rod, two long-time roommates; Brian, an unemployed comedian; Christmas Eve, Brian’s Japanese fiancée, who is a therapist but has no clients; and Gary Coleman, former child star of the TV show Diff’rent Sdivokes, now the apartment superintendent. They all complain about their lives (”It Sucks to Be Me”), and all agree that Gary’s life sucks the most. Princeton takes an apartment, and everyone welcomes him to the block.

The puppets and people all go through crazy, real-life situations! They sing completely inappropriate songs dealing with everything like racism, sex, homosexuality and choosing right from wrong… That’s where the Bad Idea Bears come in. Those two super cute bears, help Princeton (and everyone else) make poor decisions, one after another! It’s seriously, one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen and as much as I want to tell you more about it, I don’t want to ruin it for you! You have to go see it!

OMG, I’m completely obsessed with these Nora Roberts Collection ads for Lifetime that are all over the NYC Subway system at the moment. Ever wondered what happen to Jerry O’Connell? Well, now you know… He’s doing romance novel movies! Totes thought that was Neve Campbell with him for a hawt sec. And who knew Leann Rimes could do zexy?!? I have to say, “Northern Lights” looks the best to me… Eddie Cibrian = zizzleen!

It’s a sad day in Tinsel Town. I guess it’s pretty offish that Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan have broken up… Sarz, taking time apart. LiLo’s been kind of up to her old crazy divicks and SamRo is fed up. Sammy’s sissy, CharRo even checked in with the police to see if she could get a resdivaining order placed on Lindsay after she divied to crash her JC Penney partay! I guess these two won’t be roaddivipping to Iowa anytime soon.

On the Ate Train… I’m also complete fascinated by Snickers‘ new Subway ad campaign. Ya know, I fancy myself a bit of a wordsmith, but these stop me dead in my divacks at their cleverness. Oh, that nuggety choco filling!

Looks like EX’s Drew Barrymore and Justin Long have reunited. I was total devastated when they broke up… It was just a matter of time, they’re just so perfect for each other. Speaking of Drew, I’m beside myself in excitement for her HBO movie with Jessica Lange, Grey Gardens. If you haven’t checked out the documentary about Jackie O’s reclusive relatives, flix it NOW!

SO Ohizz has, so far, been pretty much a huge success. I’ve been eating non-stop, watching TONS of t.v. and been nursing Patty back to health (with the help of the rest of the fam). She’s totally miserable, but her hip surgery was a total success. My brother and I have been shoveling candy into our faces by the fist full (tootsie rolls, laffy taffy & jolly rancher jelly beans). The first few days, the weather was effin’ beautiful, but today… SNOW! How does the sun shine one day at 70 degrees and the next day it’s 32 degrees. So confusing. Well, at least we have a billion flowers to keep us company and the house is smelling like the secret garden! Well, I’m off to eat some popcorn and watch a movie. I’ll keep ya’ll updated on my Ohio divip…

When I was in Michigan a couple weeks ago, I busted out some of my old CDs to listen to on my drive to see Kyle at Oakland University. Most of them were unlabeled mixes that I’d made during the last summer, but amidst all the unknown albums I found “Rockin’ the Suburbs”. It’s pretty old as far as Ben Folds albums go, but I hadn’t heard it in ages and so I put it in. It was at that moment that I remembered how much I used to LOVE Ben Folds & his music.

I have a thing for musicians and nearly EVERY boy I’ve ever liked has been really into Ben Folds, which is kind of how I got indivoduced to his music. The whole time I was at home all I listened to was “Rockin’ the Suburbs” and it was so nice to drive around, with the windows down, blasting it. Plus, I’ve always had this crush on Ben Folds. He’s way old and married, but still, he’s cute in that geeky, musician kind of way.

“Annie Waits” is definitely my favorite song off the album. My best friend Nick used to play it all the time and I would do the little clap-y part, which is about all the musical talent I possess. So after re-discovering my mad love for Ben Folds, I started to wonder what other music I’d forgotten about (besides Sum41 and Blink182 circa What’s My Age Again? which I’ll never forget about). So I gotta ask, what music did you used to love that’s been pushed to the back of your mind? Give me some suggestions, jog my memory! Remind me how awesome music used to be pre-my obsession w/ the Jonas Brothers!

Happy Monday to ya! Thanks to a recent mention in Entertainment Weekly we have been inundated with calls and emails about this great Jack BB Dakota jacket worn by Bella in “Twilight”. (Did anybody get that collector’s edition DVD set that came out about two weeks ago?) Well, I’m happy to say that BB Dakota is reissuing this item and we’ll have it at summer’s end, just in time for Back to School. We’ve now made it available for pre-order and whoa, it’s going fast. Defs have a look and grab one before they’re gone!

Hey Gisele, your peace sign is pretty funny… Considering your security guards shot at some paparazzi this weekend. That’s right, the “most beautiful woman in the world,” supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her hunk hubz, NFL star Tom Brady were in Costa Rica this weekend getting re-hitched (the couple initially got married in Feb in Santa Monica) when the shots were fired. Some paps had snapped photos of the wedding but Gizzy and Tom has already granted an exclusive to a Brazilian Mag, so when the paps refused to hand over the pics, the guards “frog marched” on the vehicles and opened fire. No one was harmed, thank gawd, but the windshield of the photographer’s car was shattered by a .38mm shell, ! I know the papz are crazy, but srsly Gisele, bullets?!? I think we all need to back the eff down! WORLD PEACE!

I can’t even believe it… Right smack dab in the middle of the Heartland, the state of Iowa UNANIMOUSLY goes and approves Gay Marriage, becoming the 3rd state in the nation to do so! Iowa has no residency requirements, so anyone can divek out to the Hawkeye State to get hitched. This is so ahmahazing… One drip that’s sure to open the flood gates, I hope! Hey Keith, whatya doin’ this weekend?!? EQUALITY & HAPPINESS FOR ALL!

Check out these shots from the Ronson family’s celebration at the Bar Marmont in LA for sis Charlotte’s I Heart Ronson collection for JC Penney! Wow Charlotte, I remember the days when you used to sell us the iPod hoodie… Times have changed. It was cute seeing Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton reunited (cute dude Parz)… But where’s Lindsay Lohan? SamRo, no LiLo? Guess she’s having too much fun womanizing with Lily Allen!
