When I came back from Australia I came back with the Daft Punk bug.
Much like the travel bug, the Daft Punk bug makes you want to more and more Daft Punk.
My obsession includes downloading their entire Alive 2007 album, living vicariously through Facebook photos of their Aussie tour, and watching countless videos on the internet.
Like this one for the original masterpiece "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger":
Yes, you gotta love youtube for videos by people with too much time on their hands... or rather, ink on their hands.
If you think that's cool, check out Technologic.
It's like HBFS, but HBFS.
Or for people that speak English, it's like the previous one but on ink- crack.
I agree with the poor guy- I have to take a deep breath after that one!
How much do you wanna bet that it's probably an Aussie who made that video??

Heath Ledger Tragedy

Heath Ledger died tragically yesterday in a SoHo apartment around 330pm.
The autopsy results were initially inconclusive in determining the cause of death. But with the actor suffering from pneumonia and with sleeping pills near the naked and unconscious body, police are saying either a suicide or accidental overdose is the most likely cause of death.
It really is a tragedy.
Heath was just about to start an amazing era of his career. His role as The Joker in the upcoming new Batman was going to be a huge star making vehicle for him. But reading a New York Times article published two months ago, it sounds like the role that was going to make him broke him.
“I stressed out a little too much,” Mr. Ledger said.
He tends to do that. He is here in London filming the latest episode of the “Batman”franchise, “The Dark Knight.” (Mr. Bale, as it happens, plays Batman; Mr. Ledger plays the Joker.) It is a physically and mentally draining role — his Joker is a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” he said cheerfully — and, as often happens when he throws himself into a part, he is not sleeping much.
“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” One night he took an Ambien, which failed to work. He took a second one and fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing.
Even as he spoke, Mr. Ledger was hard-pressed to keep still. He got up and poured more coffee. He stepped outside into the courtyard and smoked a cigarette. He shook his hair out from under its hood, put a rubber band around it, took out the rubber band, put on a hat, took off the hat, put the hood back up. He went outside and had another cigarette. Polite and charming, he nonetheless gave off the sense that the last thing he wanted to do was delve deep into himself for public consumption. “It can be a little distressing to have to overintellectualize yourself,” is how he put it, a little apologetically.
The cause of his untimely death will eventually be known, but it will not erase the fact that this is an absolute tragedy. It's a loss of one of the best actors in Hollywood and my heart goes out to his 2 year old daughter, Matilda.
Rest in Peace.
P.S. The early reports that the apartment where Heath Ledger was found was somehow linked to Mary Kate Olsen have proven to be false.

Juno Got Jipped

The Golden Globes happened yesterday. Ya, I forgot too.
I went through the list and I was shocked to see nothing from Juno.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen any movies this holiday season except for I Am Legend (rent it) and Juno, but Juno was a really awesome flick.
So awesome that I thought it would for sure get some sort of award- at least for screenplay or actress.
But instead No Country For Old Men & Marion Cotillard from La Vie En Rose (huh?) won, which is totally ridiculous.
I'd normally say I'm going to boycott the awards, but SAG's already doing that.
Like Britney, I'm F*cking Over It
Britney Spears & Adnan Ghalib SCREAMING MAD At Paparazzi
Add to My Profile | More Videos
So I've been a pretty good girl lately when it comes the celeb gossip world. Britney's gone totally crazy and watching her make a fool out of herself isn't exactly entertaining to watch, it's just sad.
But I did fold and watched this clip of Britney's new paparazzo boyfriend elbowing a photographer out of the way.
Well at least that's what the blogs are ranting about.
It's the first time I've really watched those paparazzi videos and- oh my god. It is seriously crazy. They're surrounding her, yelling at her, and almost hitting her wherever she goes.
So at first, I was like, wow, I have a little sympathy for her. I would never want to be harassed like that wherever I go.
But then as the tape progresses she goes in and out of each store, not buying anything, just shopping around. It's like, if you are so over it, why are you doing errands that don't need to be done? Take a day off. Have your Starbucks delivered to your house (I mean, she is a preferred customer by now) and watch a movie with your therapist.
To top this off- in the end she yells at the paparazzi in a fake British accent that she's "f*cking over it." It was kind of creepy. And I've decided, after hearing how crazy she sounded, I will be retiring my fake British accent from my repertoire.

Golden Globes Are Cancelled- Chad Michael Murray's Pissed

The Golden Globes Television Broadcast has been cancelled because of the writer's strike.
That is SAG (Screen Actors Guild) will not allow its actors to cross the picket lines in order to help the writers' (at a stand still) negotiations against the evil studio heads.
Sounds like a fricken movie, right?
Well it ain't, and you know what, Chad Michael Murray is pissed about it.
You may ask- who is Chad Michael Murray?
Well, CMM- as they say- is an actor- a fabulous actor- on the popular show "One Tree Hill" on the prestigious CW network. Yes, that's the same network that has my other favorites: "America's Next Top Model" and the now-defunct "Search for the Next Pussycat Doll."
CMM- not to be confused with CNN- was ordering with his fiancee (see below) from my waitress friend yesterday...

When he was overheard talking about he was so pissed the Golden Globes were cancelled and that this effects him.
I know, I'd be so pissed if I had to show up for another award show and get free swag and free alcohol, even though I wasn't nominated for anything.
Geesh- writers and studios- get it together!!!
For all you ladies gushing: Yes, he's cute and believe it or not, she's totally hotter than him!
**And by the above statement I do not imply that I am a Tila Tequila swinger-in-training.

2008 is Gonna be Fat!
Breaking News!!! Britney's a Hospitalized Mess!!
If you haven't heard the news or seen the numerous paparazzi videos (see above)- Britney Spears was taken to the hospital last night for psychiatric evaluation.
a.k.a. Homegirl is CRAZY!!
And this is neither breaking, nor new news.
But Spears made it to the hospital in a way that made all those "Cops" stars envious.
First, she held her toddler boys hostage for FOUR hours- 240 minutes!!- before finally handing them over to KFed and all the lawyers- from both sides.
Once the faceoff was done, they found Britney seriously out of it and on some sort of something.
Cue: ambulance.
An ambulance/police escort that was probably bigger than Princess Diana's, with fake ambulances included, brought her to Cedas Sinai Hospital in LA where she will stay for 72 hours.
I have to say that I am turning a page in my life in that-
drum roll please!-
I really don't care.
When I saw the video all I could think of was "wow, is this waste of medical talent necessary for some coked up, has-been pop star?"
And the answer is- no.
Something is going to happen to her in 2008 and being locked up in the nutter house better be one of them- for her sanity and the rest of America's.
