K. Stew… SMOKES?!? December 16, 2008

SO I just recently saw the TMZ story  about Kristen Stewart doing an interesting activity – sitting in from of her home (in public) smoking a very curious looking pipe (what was in it, I’m not totally sure). Now it’s pretty common knowledge that I’m not a very big K. Stew fan, but I have no issue with her smoking. Everyone needs to wind down, and if that’s your method, then fine. What I do have an issue with is her doing it on her front porch in front of everyone, including a bajillion little girls who practically worship the ground she walks on. I’m not sure if she’s aware of the massive stardom she’s reached by doing Twilight. She’s not a normal person anymore. She’s a super-celebrity, and any girl who saw Twilight wants to be her. And like they say, monkey-see monkey-do. Kids are going to think that since Bella smokes, it’ll be okay. And I know that people are gonna respond to this post, saying it’s bullshit and that kids aren’t that stupid, except the thing is, they are. A few years ago, I would have been one of the psycho Kristen fans. It hasn’t been that long since I was an impressionable little kid, so I know what I’m talking about. Please, Kristen, think of your fans. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

The Fabulous Weirdness of Grey Gardens September 10, 2008

I finally saw Grey Gardens a little less that a week ago. It is VERY cool. The first act lags a bit, but has some stellar songs (“Daddy’s Girl” and “Two Peas in a Pod” are two fabulous examples), but the second act is FABULOUS! The songs are amazing, with dark undertones, very reminiscent of Sondheim (always a favorite), and the acting is phenomenal! 

For those who don’t know, Grey Gardens is the story of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edie Beale, aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who shut themselves us in their decaying estate, Grey Gardens, with 60 cats. These women are utterly fascinating. What would make two outgoing, beautiful, talented women recluse themselves in their massive estate? Big Edie was a singer from a wealthy family, and Little Edie was a beautiful, flirtatious model/singer once engaged to a Kennedy! It is fascinating, interesting, and made me want to come home and do my research! And I found that there will be a movie adaptation coming starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. Hmmm… Drew? Really? I mean, she’s very cute, but Little Edie is such a powerful and difficult role. And Drew’s not really and AMAZING actress. She’s a fine actress, probably better than me, but can she handle Grey Gardens? I dunno, but I’m rooting for her!
