Ellen Degeneres' Hilarious Halloween Costume as Nicki Minaj

Halloween is a fun time everyone of all age. Celebrities included. On September 24, Nicki Minaj made a guest appearance on Ellen's talk show wearing the most revealing and crazy outfit. Nicki's 'special' wardrobe choice inspired Ellen's costume for this Halloween. (see picture below). The resemblance is uncanny.

Nicki Minaj's had always known for choice of fashion. From hair style to outfits down to shoes. However, I personally find Nicki's clothing choice on this one could potentially be a negative influence on the children. This particular 'jacket' that Nicki here had one seems to be a perfectly normal jacket that can be button all the way down but she simply chose not to. This could possibly inspire young girls to try the same thing. If it was a special outfit designed to look like this then it may be a little bit more acceptable. 

Anyways, Ellen's Nicki inspired costume definitely provided lots of laughter for the audience. Although Nicki hasn't made a response to Ellen's sarcastic costume. Ellen's hilarious idea made Nicki's appearance seemed like a big joke which in a way saves the children from believing that it is okay to dress like that. 

What do you think about Nicki's outfit on the Ellen's show? And did you find Ellen's costume  funny? Check out Nicki's interview on Ellens on youtube (link below) and watch Ellen questions Nicki on her strange choice of wardrobe. Check out the video if you would like to know why she dressed like that. 

  



Michael Jordan Auctions his 29 Million Dollars Mansion






The former Chicago Bulls star Michael is going to be auctioning off his 56,000 square foot mansion. This price for this gigantic 'personal resort' was reportedly not able to be sold at 29 millions dollars and had to be reduced to 21 million dollars instead. MJ's mansion has everything that a man could ever dream to have their house. It has a pool, a spa, a work out gym, a full size NBA regular court, a tennis court, wince cellar that holds more than 1,000 bottles, a cigar vault, and a high tech temperature control garage. This luxurious man is going to be auctioned off this month because when it previously set at 29 million dollars it could not be sold. Whoever wants to bid must deposit $250,000 deposit before hand.

With this ridiculous price and deposit, I am not so sure MJ will ever sold his mansion. Even though he did reduce the price by 8 million dollars, who is going to need all these space for just a home? Better off turning this mansion in to a real spa and resort. The space in this house is simply too big and doesn't have a 'homey feeling' to it. It may have all the luxury a man could ever ask for. The loneliness that comes with it is too much to bare for just one person.

Here is a video of a tour inside the MJ mansion. If you are a MJ man and likes to see how a NBA superstar's life is like, definitely check out the video. See for yourself why this mansion could not be sold and why 21 million dollars is worth for this house.

5 Movies that should make Oscar 2014

Oscar 2013 is getting closer and closer. In fact, the official nominees will be released on January 16, 2014. Year of 2013 had been a big year for original movies. There had been numerous motions pictures that had been successful and really grabbed everyone's attention. Here are five movies that I think deserves to win an Oscar (in separate categories).

#5 Best Film Editing
Rush





















#4 Best Costume Design 
The Great Gatsby 


#Best Visual Effect 
Pacific Rim 























#2 Animated Feature Film 
Epic 




#1 Best Motion Picture 
Gravity 























All five of these movies have their own reason that I think should be nominated for Oscar. But I want to specifically focus on Pacific Rim, Epic and The Great Gatsby here. Pacific Rim is probably the best sci-fi/action film I have seen all year. Not only that, this motion picture is completely original. The director did a fantastic job on creating giant CGI robots and monsters, as well as creating a world of apocalypse. The stunning colors and lighting in the movie definitely gave it an extra boost while watching the robots and monster fight to their death. 

Epic should be nominated to Best Animation Feature film because Epic is an original motion picture. Also, to our surprise, it was not produced by Walt Disney Picture. Epic was made by 20th Century Fox. The vividly and beautiful story and wonderful moral is definitely one of my top choice for children movie this year. 

The Great Gatsby was a wonderful master piece. The costumer designer brought a brand new vision of the amazing fashion of the Roaring Twenties. The glamours dresses and accessories for the ladies and the dashing tuxedo for the men made the movie seemed extra glamours and stunning. Unlike most movie that were set in the twenties, every cast and extras in the movie all had fabulous costumer to really recreate the Roaring Twenties. 

If you haven't seen these movies, I recommend you to give these movies a shot. They are some of the top movies that sits on the Oscar 2014 prediction list. Even if you are not a fan of the Oscar or don't believe in Oscar's judgement, personally I would still recommend you to watch these movies. I enjoyed watching them and I hope you enjoy them as well. 

Who started Movember?


Everyone knows about the strange tradition that goes on during the month of November where men stop shaving their mustache for 30 days. As much fun as Movember is, does anyone really know about how Movember started and why? Movember was actually started by this an NGO named with the same name. The reason why Movember was funded was to raise money and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges. 

Movember started in 2003 in Melbourne, Australia and then this movement slowly spread across the country, and eventually turned into a global phenomenon. Now, more than 3 million peoples participate in this movement across 21 countries. Last year, roughly 1.1 million people joined Movemeber and raised over 146.6 million CAD. Movember works like breast cancer month, men start off the month with a clean shave, then grow and groom a mustache, asking friends and family to donate to the foundation for their effort. Many actor, celebrities and artists participates in this movement. They are literally the walking billboard for Movember thus raising awareness and inviting everyone to join Movember. 

People had always known about Movember but not many really know why it happens. Everyone I see friends and teachers walking around with a strange mustache at this time of the year but never really cared to find out why Movember exist. I think Movember is a great movement to participate it. After breast cancer month in October, as devastating as breast cancer it is for women, it's important not to forget that there are men who are suffering from different type of disease as well.

I would strongly recommend men to give a Movember a try at least once in their life time. Not only it's for a great cause, you can also rock a new look (chicks dig that)! Ladies, encourage your men to participate in this movement. After all, they did sit through breast cancer month. Now it's their turn to raise awareness for their gender. Have fun in Movember and don't forget to donate!

Real life Barbie Doll: Valeria Lukyanova

It is every girls dream to look like a Barbie Doll. To have that perfect hair, big beautiful eyes, perfect proportion, skinny arms and things but with fabulous chest and bum. Well, this girl has it all. Meet the real life Barbie Doll: Valeria Lukyanova. 

Valeria is a 27 year old Ukrainian women. Valeria claims that she had absolutely no plastic surgery done on her facial structure although she did have breast augmentation done to complete her perfect Barbie body proportion. She wears thick makeup which creates an illusion of facial structure changes. Valeria stands at 5'7 and weight 99lbs, her three measurements are 34.6-18.5-34.6. No, really. She has a 38 inch waist. To get a 18 inch waist, Valeria lives on a strict diet life. She has a four month juice only diet and later switched to water diet. And now, she is living only on liquids and nothing else. Valeria enjoys meditation as a hobby, and she models and make appearances as human Barbie doll for a living. Valeria is currently married. 

This may have been one of the strangest thing to be heard in 2013. But, hey. At least now we know that human Barbie isn't an unreachable goal. That's if you are willing to give up food for the rest of your life. Why Valeria wants to be a Barbie is hard to understand. She did state that she had a fascination with Barbie dolls as child but is it really necessary to go that far? Overall, I give respect to this women for her dedication and all the work she put in to reach her dream (although it may seem crazy others eyes.)

Check out this women on the internet, she is a really strange person that I am sure you will find fascinating. You can also look her up on Youtube because she makes spiritual philosophy lessons on there and as well as performing music. (Did I mention that she is a very talented singer?) She maybe weird but I can guarantee




 that she is one of a kind. 

American Music Award 2013: Top 5 categories and who deserves what

American Music Award is coming up. It will be air lived on ABC on November 24th, 2013. I am here to present you 5 of the 22 categories and the nominees that I think deserves the award.

#5 New Artist of the Year
Florida Georgia Line
Ariana Grande 
Imagine Dragons
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Phillip Phillps

Ariana Grande deserves this award because she is not simply young and successful. She is also very talented put in a lot of effort in her work. Personally, I am not a big fan of Ariana Grande, but I do give her credits and respect for keeping a clean image for the children because of her appearance on Victorious. Ariana Grande's album featured fabulous music and she has a very special talent: her voice can actually hit the 'whistle register' which is the highest human voice register. Some other artists who can reach that level are Mariah Carey, Gerogie Brown and Minnie Ripeton. 

#4 Favorite Male Artist
Bruno Mars
Robin Thicke
Justin Timberlake

Judging from talent wise, Bruno Mars definitely owns this award. Bruno's special voice and his romantic love has made many girls go head over heels for him. Bruno has many hit songs throughout 2013 and unlike Robin or J.T he had been around the industry all year round. Bruno definitely deserve to bring home this award. 

#3 Favorite Female Artist
P!nk
Rihanna
Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift's album RED was a huge phenomenon in 2013. Also on top of that, her RED tour was also extremely successful. She kept her fans close to her all year round and never stopped performing. Unlike Rihanna and P!nk who had only released couple singles here and and there throughout 2013 and did not even put in the effort of putting up shows for fans, and only made appearances at festivals when requested.

#2 Favorite Duo, Band or Group
Imagine Dragons
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
One Direction

Imagine Dragons are not only one of the most awesome band in America, it is also the most genuine rock band that are not all about the money, the fame or the gossip. Imagine Dragons's music will really hit you in the soul because their lyrics are based on personal events that on some level, someone will be able to related to. Their style are not shallow like most pop bands. Their songs are never about money, fame, fans, girls, drugs, cars, parties, thug lyfe and any type of mainstream music topics. Imagine Dragons indie style definitely deserves more fame than they get, which is why I think Imagine Dragons deserve to be the favorite band.

#1 Artist of the Year
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Bruno Mars
Rihanna
Taylor Swift
Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake made a new album after 7 years of break from his music career. Just let that sink in and I am sure you will figure out why he deserves the Artist of the Year award. 





Catfish: The TV Show - Season 2 review

On June 25th, Catfish Season 2 has returned. Catfish season 1 was a great success and grabbed a lot of viewers attention as well as celebrities. Catfish season 2 came to MTV with 16 episodes (4 more than the previous season) of crazy and unbelievable stories of online hoax. 

Catfish season 2 kicked off with Cassie's unbelievable story of online relationship hoax which was a little hard to believed that it was not stage. But as ridiculous as the first episode seemed, the season carried on following more stories that seem too good to be true. Season two was no different than season one in terms of the show's development. Same old routine; reading email, video chat, official meet-up, amateur investigation, discussion and then the big moment: the meet up. As much as the the show's build up suspense is what intrigue and attract the views attention, it just seemed a little boring. 

Catfish season 2 featured a lot of stories that will turn out to be big surprises, however for the first time in catfish history, there was a happy ending. In episode 4, 'Lauren & Derek', for once the guy on the other side of the computer was as real as Lauren believed him to be. After that episode was aired, MTV made a catfish special to celebrate the couple. 

As a huge Catfish fan, I really enjoyed watching Catfish Season 2. However, they really need to step up on the shows development because it is getting dull and stale. Also, in the episodes, it has been established that Catfish is no longer a no-name TV show, most of the catfish are actually aware of the existence of this show which makes it a little unrealistic that these catfish would be willing to be on the show when knowing how it will end for them. My suggestion is that they should do a season outside of America to avoid this problem. 

If you have never seen Catfish, I strongly recommend you to check it out. It is not simply a reality TV for pure entertainment. There are a lot of lessons and skills that you could learn from it to protect yourself when dealing with strangers on the internet. If you know someone who are going to through an online relationship, I would suggest you to tell them about this TV show. Overall, I give catfish season 2 a 7/10. It was just as entertaining as I expected it to be but I do feel like it could use some changes instead of sticking with the same old catfish routine.
