Housewife in Hollywood - housewifeinhollywood.com

Thanks to MTV for their Hope for Haiti special including some wonderful performances. Here’s Justin Timberlake doing one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs.

Please give your support to Haiti now, http://www.hopeforhaitinow.org

I’ve talked about how much I’ve enjoyed watching Celebrity Rehab & Sober House, both with Dr. Drew Pinsky. He has a successful radio show called Loveline. The primary goal of the show is helping youth and young adults with relationship, sexuality, and drug addiction problems.

This theme of helping youth and young adults has been brought over into an MTV series called Sex… with Mom and Dad.

“Dr. Drew’s groundbreaking series on MTV, Sex…with Mom and Dad, is back for a second season to help 20 more teens, and their parents, get to the root of their problems when it comes to the taboo topic of sex.

With more emotional stories, tougher tasks, and a new look that incorporates vintage sex education footage, this season takes sex ed — and family communication — to a whole new level.” 

 
Have you seen this show yet? If so, what do you think about it?
Sex…with Mom and Dad Season Two, Mondays at 4:00 PM EST on MTV.

Only in Hollywood can you go from shaving your head in front of the paparazzi, losing custody of your kids, and wearing a pink wig at Rite Aid to winning awards, touring Europe, and talking about it on MTV.

Britney: For the Record  will be airing on MTV, Sunday, November 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Finally, we can find out what the hell was going on in the mind of Britney Spears! MTV says, “This ain’t no tabloid expose.”

I’m positive if I was in Britney’s dance shoes I would have lost it years before she did. No matter how much money or fame a person acquires, we are all human and deserve the right to run into Starbucks sans makeup without getting our picture taken. If I had the paps following me from park day to play date to Target, I’d probably be attacking with an umbrella too.

THIS JUST IN:

MTV.com says:
(Tell us what you thought of the documentary over on the Newsroom blog, or upload a video to YouRHere.MTV.com. “Britney: For the Record” will be available in its entirety on demand on MTV.com beginning Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.)

After watching MTVs VMA 2008, I found myself feeling very out of touch with today’s music. Don’t get me wrong I can groove to Rihanna, and sing along with Kate Perry all day but I’m not too fond of the Jonas Brothers, or Miley Cyrus. It’s a fine line these days between the Disney Channel and MTV.

I read a couple, not so great reviews, about the UK comedian and host Russell Brand. I think he was quite funny actually. Love his 80′s rocker big hair, very Guns-N-Roses. Anyone with a British accent can pull off that continuously loud approach to speaking. Russell reminded the crowd that it was the 25th anniversary of the Video Music Awards. Remember when Madonna sang Like a Virgin on stage, rolling all around with her lace gloves, wedding dress and ankle boots on? Who could forget the Boy Toy belt. I wonder where that is now.

Ahh 1984, it was a good year. I was fourteen years old, and MTV was the biggest thing since the release of Donkey Kong for my Commodore 64. According to Wikipedia, The Cult banded together, and Earth, Wind and Fire disbanded, Bananarama released their album appropriately named Bananarama. Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Kelly was born in 1984, and Marvin Gaye passed away. It was a big year for movies, with Gremlins, The Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Terminator, Romancing the Stone, Karate Kid, Splash, and Footloose.

Yes the most recent Hollywood event has made me a bit nostalgic. Wake up Housewife in Hollywood, it’s not 1984! Thank goodness for Netflix, remakes and YouTube. We can transport ourselves back to the past whenever we feel like it. Not to be confused with Back to the Future which premiered in 1985.
