Top Ten Friday - Fuego Edition.

So I've decided to add a new feature to my blog, Top Ten Fridays. Basically it's just as it sounds, I'll be sharing some of my top ten lists, woo! So to start it off we have my top ten celebrity guys. Basically the hottest of the hot, el fuego of all that is el fuego (kudos to anyone that knows where that's from!) and I figured as much as I squee and swoon over guys I should probably share the top ten (or if I did already it's buried in the archives somewhere and I'm too lazy to look it up which is fine because I know it's changed anyways and hell it'll probably change again sometime but this is what it's at right this second)

So, want to know who my fuegos of Hollywood are? Here we go:

1. Keanu Reeves. You had me at Jack Traven. Seriously I don't know what it is but I heart you big time.

2. Joshua Jackson. First it was a crush on Charlie Conway then Pacey Witter and now just Josh and ah, after meeting you last year I think I have an even bigger crush.

3. Craig David. Ten years ago (holy hell has it really been ten years) I went to Germany for the summer and came back with a crush on this man and his music and although we had a mini break up (as in he never came back to the US to perform) my love was rekindled when my dreams of meeting him came true last year and he was just as wonderful as I imagined.

4. Ryan Gosling. Ever since he was on the Mickey Mouse club I hearted him. Although I was a bit weirded out when he dated Sandra Bullock, the crush resurfaced big time after he did The Notebook, I mean how could it not? And then when he didn't totally freak out when I accosted him on the street to take a picture with me, yeah that made him cool too.

5. Rob Pattinson. Yes. He has jumped up the list. Edward oh Edward. Rob oh sweet British Rob and your adoring accent that made me swoon when I interviewed you, yes you are so number 5.

6. Simon Baker. Where have you been all my life??? I mean I liked you in The Devil Wears Prada and gawd you're dreamy in Something New, but The Mentalist has done it for me. Don't even know what it is but the fact that your Australian also doesn't hurt.

7. Christian Bale. You will always be Jack Kelly to me and singing "Carrying the Banner" and dancing through the streets. Seriously, best role ever (well Batman was pretty awesome too and I do love The Prestige and Laurie in Little Women, hell you're just good!).

8. Matt Damon. So I have a thing for guys named Matt? And this one is quite awesome and so cute and sweet and ah! Remember that one time Nicole touched his sweat and my sister saw him in a Starbucks? Yeah I'm still jealous.

9. Shemar Moore. Okay I was back and forth about Shemar but the more I watch Criminal Minds the moore (haha) I heart him.

10. Leonardo Di Caprio. I would be lying if I didn't admit that my love for Leo came from Titanic because it did and I still heart him.

Other guys I heart but didn't make the cut: Taye Diggs, Michael Ealy, Hugh Jackman, Jordan Knight, Eric Dane, Harry Connick Jr. Mike Vitar, and Gerard Butler.


And that my dear freaders is my official Top Ten fuegos of Hollywood (for now). What do you think? Are any of them on your list? Who's your top ten? Or two? Or five? :)






happy weekend!

Hollywoodopolos.

It's Tuesday and you know what that means, Hollywood day. So here we go...

• Starting off this week we have my favorite bebe in Hollywood, little Violet Affleck looking her oh so adorable self while strolling around town with mom. Seriously she is just so darn cute!
  
  
  
  preciousness.
  
  
• Next up in the cuteness we have little Zuma Rossdale at the park with momma Gwen. Seriously this little boy is getting cuter and cuter every day, love it.
  
  
  
  tre adorable!
  
  
  
• In non-cute bebe news we have some other Hollywood happenings...Gerard Butler made out with a random violin player, and I'm slightly jealous...Ryan Gosling is having all sorts of fun at Sundance and why aren't I there too???....there is currently talk of a SPICE GIRLS MUSICAL, say what!? that would be awesome!!....Lauren Conrad has written yet another book and I bet it'll be another top seller, good for her...P. Diddy hosted a ridiculous sweet sixteen birthday party for his son Justin and I sort of can't wait to see it on an MTV special because there's gold and crowns and a crazy Lil Kim sighting, so basically it has to be awesome...Gary Coleman was arrested on charges of domestic abuse and man he looks creepy, shutter, ugh.
  
  
• Oh so the SAG awards were on Sunday and there was some superb fashion going on and so many of my favorites were there again I just loved it.
  
  
  
  Sandra and Jesse, heart them.
  
  
  LOVE this dress, way to
  work it Lea Michelle.
  
  
  Why hellloooo Joshua and Diane, you two look fabulous!
  
  
  oh Anna you look stunning.
  
  
  Oh what a Golden Girl indeed.
  
  
  
• And in today's Twilight news...
  New stills from Rob Pattinson's newest flick, Remember Me, were released and um some of them make me swoon.
  
  
  
  le swoon.
  
  
• In music news...
  My favorite, Craig David, released a new single and it's so catchy. Not his best work but definitely not his worse, and man is he aging well. Let's just hope he films his next video in LA and not Miami because I could totally dance to it, haha.
  
  Also in music news, who the hell is this Justin Bieber kid??? He sort of weirds me out just by looking at him. But apparently if I was ten or so I'd have his poster everywhere, I just don't get it.
  
  
• And in TV news...
  The Mentalist. I LOVE THIS SHOW. Not even kidding, I laugh more watching this show than I do in most of the comedies I watch. And it doesn't hurt that I get to look at Simon Baker for an hour either, he is just so freaking swoon worthy to me, haha. But um so yeah this last week's episode was just as good as the rest and it was a twisty turny tale trying to catch a mayor's assistant's killer.
  
  Grey's Anatomy. I haven't yelled at the characters on this show in oh so long but man was I yelling when I watched last week's. I yelled at Cristina and Owen and told them to make out already and I swooned when they made out, I yelled at McSteamy when he got mad at Lexie because it was just dumb, I yelled at Meredith for not turning the cheif in sooner, I yelled at Izzie simply for being annoying and Izzy and I yelled at Alex because I knew he'd say he couldn't take Izzie back and I was sort of okay with it. Basically all sorts of dillemmas and drama and ah, when can the show just be happy again, at least a little bit.
  
  Glee. Is it April yet??? I miss this show!! But at least when it's coming back Idina Menzel and Neil Patrick Harris will both be guest stars and I couldn't be more excited!!!
  
  
• Lastly in today's WTF news we have a priest in trouble with the law because he decided to shoplift some butter and a sofa cover. Um say what? I'm pretty sure it's frowned upon in the church to shoplift, haha.
  

And that's all I have today, anything I missed let me know!





happy tuesday!

'09 was quite awesome.

So I know that 2009 was not the best year for a lot of people, but for me it was the complete opposite, 2009 was probably one of the best years of my entire life and although I've never done it before, it just wouldn't be right if I didn't look back and highlight some of the awesome that was this past year.

January: Started off the new year with a Wii...got to go to an awesome O.A.R. concert and even met the lead singer Mark, so awesome...then went to a release party for Afro Samurai where I got to meet some guys from Greek (ummmawesome) and Christina Milian among others, haha.

Two years I've been blogging already, crazy pants...well even more exciting than that was Matt and I celebrating our third anniversary which was quite adorable and fun...and ultimately I ended the month in North Carolina for a girls weekend with my college friends.

the go-kart crew, so fun.

June: I started my review blog that although I don't tend to as much I still love...then was one of the best Vegas trips of my life with 20ish fabulous bloggers...and enjoyed one of my favorite activities of bowling with some friends.

July: Had a great 4th of July weekend with lots of friends and family...I shared a very au natural picture of myself which became one of my most honest posts...I also posted some of my wedding don'ts which gave me my first negative comments aka I've officially made it as a blogger, haha...later in the month I got to attend my second BlogHer which was just as fun as the first year and I met even more bloggers and had a great time all around...I also joined 2009 and got a smart phone, more specifically an Iphone, woo!

October: Went to Ohio for my friend Virginia's wedding and couldn't have pictured a better weekend...a week later I was the maid of honor in my cousin's wedding which was quite the all day experience but fun nonetheless...I also made baked mac and cheese which was almost as good as it looked in the pictures...then Matt surprised me and took me to Disneyland which was so so very fun...and rounded out the month carving pumpkins and watching Hocus Pocus with Matt and our neighbors then dressing up like pirates for Halloween, arrrrgh.

So yeah looking back on it all 2009 was one kick ass year. And I know I'm leaving some stuff out but man this post is long enough as it is, haha. But really 2009 I loved you so much and I hope 2010 is just as fabulous if not better :)



happy wednesday!

People that should be paying me.

Yesterday as I was getting dressed and noticed that about 85% of my shirt drawer was Old Navy in origin I realized that they should pay me. I mean so many of my clothes are from there and I love it all, so why not pay me for it? I'm a walking billboard for crimeny sake. And that got me thinking about all the other people that should probably be paying me as well...

• Stephenie Meyer. Seriously I know the woman's got money to spare and I've told so many people about Twilight it's not even funny. I could practically be a Twilight publicist, haha.
  
  
• All airlines. I put so much money into them I'm pretty sure they could repay me just a bit.
  
  
• Craig David. I'm pretty sure none of my friends knew who he was until I introduced them. Seriously I'm like his freakin publicist. Now if only he would make his US visits more frequently my job would be easier, haha.
  
  
• Granny Smith apples. I think I go through more apples in a week than some families go through in a month. I'm pretty sure I could be an apple spokesperson or something. And man are they delicious.
  
  
• The creators of flip flops. I wear them almost every day in any weather it's sort of ridiculous. But I think they should pay me because I need some new ones, haha.
  

Seriously people shouldn't I be getting paid for my hard work? And really I've got a wedding to pay for soon and some travels to be had, yeah extra money would be loverly. So you hear that Stephenie and Old Navy? Pay up please. Sweet, thanks. Love, Katelin.

Anyone that should be paying you?



happy wednesday!

Hollywoodtinis all around.

Well since I did such a late Hollywood post last Thursday not a whole lot has happened in Hollywood since then, but I'll make it work. So Hollywood news here we go:

• Today's first cute little bebe we have Sasha Schreiber. Seriously this picture just melted my heart, such a cute Mommy and Me shot:
  
  
  
  precious!
  
  
  
• And bebe numero dos is little Levi McConaughey. Seriously he is so doe-eyed it's adorable.
  
  
  
  awww so cute.
  
  
  
• Moving on from the bebe cuteness to the Ryan Gosling hotness. Seriously the man makes the most random clothes look good. Oh and I just had to post a Ryan picture because The Notebook was on this weekend and I got butterflies all over again even though I've seen it way too many times, but really swoon.
  
  
  
  why hello there.
  
  
  
• Apparently last night was the Costume Institute Gala and man there were some fabulous and adorable couples and I just have to share a few:
  
  
  
  Josh and Diane, seriously adorable
  
  
  Ashley and Justin,
  I'm getting used to this only
  because I heart Justin so much
  
  
  Leslie Mann rocked it and Judd Apatow is just a cute geek
  
  
  
• Oh and guys I did not forget about you, miss Megan Fox graces the cover of this month's Esquire magazine and I admit, girl looks good. And yeah she's more covered up than usual, but I think she makes it look good:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Oh so I watched Twilight yesterday while I was home doing work and man I love that movie. It may not be the best movie ever but it's just so nice to watch and Edward Cullen is just so swoon worthy and I just hope that New Moon is even better.
  
  
  
  
  
  Oh oh and Twilight got the most MTV Movie Award nominations (which are probably the only awards Twilight could win, haha), so go vote!
  
  
• And in TV news...
  How I Met Your Mother. Finally the yellow umbrella is back, we're getting somewhere. But ah! Stella!? Stella?! Really? Oh I love this show. And seriously Barney, you are awesome, haha. (except umm didn't Barney not have a list, wasn't it a scrap book? Yeah I know too much about this show, haha).
  
  Grey's Anatomy. Aw Izzie why won't you tell your mom what's wrong? Ah I was so sad. And Lexie you are so cute, I'm finally starting to like you again. And um Derek you look mighty handsome in a tux, I can't wait to see the wedding episode this week, ah! A wedding! Yay!
  
  Medium. Oh man last week's episode was so creepy, so good but so creepy. I loved the ending too with all the ladies rallying together to save Allison's dreams, soooo good.
  
  Brothers and Sisters. Kitty stop being lame. Ryan just leave already. Scottie I heart you. Nora you are the cutest most overprotective and concerned mama around. And Sarah I think you rock. Seriously this show is so good and I am so attached to the family it's sort of crazy, I can't believe the season finale is already this weekend. And Tommy's back! Ah! I can't wait!
  
  
• And for today's WTF story I hope you haven't eaten at a fast food place lately because this one is kind of gross (and by kind of I mean really)... a girl in Switzerland allegedly found a condom in her Happy Meal. Ummmm how do you explain that one to your kid? Er how do you continue eating without hurling? Ah!
  
  
• And how did I almost forget....
  
  Happy Birthday Craig David!!!!
  
  Feel free to come back to LA okay? :)
  

And that my friends is the short(ish) and sweet Hollywood update...anything I missed, let me know.





happy tuesday!

Hollywood is running late.

So it's Thursday and I haven't had a Hollywood post yet so ummm let's get to it shall we?

• And starting off with the cute bebes we have a newbie in the mix. Little Usher the fifth aka Cinco, haha best nickname ever. But really little Usher is sort of adorable, and it doesn't help that his dad is big Usher, haha.
  
  
  
  how precious
  
  
  
• And for the second bebe of the week we have little Harlow Madden because ohmygosh she is so freakin adorable. Seriously her little smile is just the cutest thing, I love it.
  
  
  
  ahhhhh so cute!
  
  
  
• Movin on from the bebes....in sad news, another Golden Girl has passed away. Bea Arthur passed away over the weekend. Although she probably wasn't everyone's favorite on the show you still can't help but be sad. We'll miss you Bea!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• And in happier news, Twilight news to be exact...not a whole lot actually. Oh, the Twilight cheeseburger video has been making the rounds. So check it out. Enjoy. Oh oh again, Taylor Lautner has been seen canoodling with Selena Gomez and this pic is just adorable to me, oh teenage love affairs:
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Also in favorites news. Craig David was on several websites today. Without a shirt on. Fixing stuff. People know who he is and not just me!
  
  
• Another hottie that has emerged to promote Wolverine...oh no not Hugh, I do love Hugh don't get me wrong, but helloooooo Ryan Reynolds, nice to see you again!
  
  
  
  yumm.
  
  
• Oh hey guys I didn't forget you because umm Halle Berry was at the LA premiere of Wolverine and I gotta say, she's smokin. I may have a girl crush.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• And in TV news....
  How I Met Your Mother. Best show ever oooooooor Best show on right now ooooooor Best of the Best of the Best? Haha. Seriously this show cracks me up.
  
  Top Model. Buh bye Natalie. I sort of liked you, but eh. Peace out. For last week's recap I will again divert your attention to the most hilarious of recaps here. Oh and this Tyra spoof video is also a must watch, seriously hilarious. As for last night's ep....Teyona and Aminat are dumb, seriously they bother me (and I have this sick feeling one of them is going to win, ugh) and I knew Fo was leaving, I'm so sad I liked her.
  
  Grey's Anatomy. Yay for a new episode! It was so cute and so sad and so happy. And I thought it was pretty funny that so much of it was wedding because of course I notice that now, haha. And speaking of the Derek and Meredith wedding, they have their own Knot page, haha.
  
  John and Kate Plus 8. Yeah I know the show isn't on right now, but ummm John is being sketchy. Seriously John, stop it.
  
  The Hills. Why do I watch this? I don't know. I know that once Lauren leaves I will be watching it no more. But I will say that Heidi and Spencer have ruined the best day of the year...my birthday...those toolbags were married on my birthday and in my hometown! WTF Speidi?! Why would you ruin such an amazing day?! You even made my favorite color your wedding color and it didn't look good! Ah! How could you!?
  
  
  
  
  
  However I can forgive you simply because you took this picture:
  
  
  
  oh too ridiculous.
  (thank you julie for this gem)
  
  
  
• And for today's WTF news we have a girl that beat off two "thugs" with her marching band baton. Seriously it's not really WTF, more like bad ass. But really that is sort of awesome, you know those guys were not expecting the girl to beat the crap out of them, gotta love it.
  
  

And that my friends is the Hollywood news of the week (well as much as I could find in a short time, haha), anything I left out?



happy thursday!

Craig David is my new BFF.

Oh Em Freaking Gee.

That pretty much sums up last night. As I write this I don't really have a voice, my feet are sore, I'm exhausted and it was all totally worth it. The Craig David concert in a word was: Awesome. Seriously I still can't get over it, haha.

Basically my sister and I got to the Mint at 6:20 and waited in the line outside, made some friends (seriously there were so many die hard Craig fans it made my heart happy) and hung out til we were finally let in at like 7:30:

check him out headlining Tuesday! Ah!

my sis and I waiting in line

Once we got in I couldn't believe how incredibly small the Mint was. I mean I could reach out my hand and practically touch the stage, that's how close we were! I had like two short people in front of me and that was it! It was amazing! Even more amazing was when Craig finally came to stage (opening with "Hot Stuff") and everyone went wild, myself included of course, haha.

heart him!

oooooh Hot Stuff

Is he not amazingly zexy. And just add a British accent and a ton of girls (and even some guys) screaming and you have the concert. The show was just Craig and his guitar/keyboard player and it was perfect. I love acoustic songs and all and wow just wow. Sorry I keep saying wow but I'm still in awe of the concert and I'm not even at the best part yet...

So yeah the concert was great...two more shots to prove it:

Craig and Kwame (sp?) getting down

yeah it was pretty hot in there, haha

Basically Craig played every song I love and ended with my favorite of faves "Fill Me In" and he came out for a brief encore and I couldn't believe the show was already over. After it was over I convinced my sister to linger around and hang out to see if we could meet him. Ultimately I met Craig's security guard and chatted up with him a bit and told him how I was such a huge Craig fan and I decided to get a picture with in case I couldn't meet Craig:

And then I got a pic with the guitar player who was hanging out with everyone and totally friendly and funny:

And I had almost given up hope on meeting Craig until I saw people finally get to go back stage. So my sister and I lined up and slowly but surely made our way to the front where several people were trying to push past us the security guard pointed out how he had to make sure that my sister and I got back there to meet him (umm I almost melted). And before I knew it Craig's manager er I don't know who she was, lead us to the a back room to meet Craig!!!!

I think I may have been shaking on the way back there but the woman took my camera and asked our names and introduced us to Craig. I stayed surprisingly calm (as my sister pointed out, haha) and I told Craig all about how I was supposed to meet him in 2002 and how things got messed up and I never got to. And he was so nice and totally apologized and gave me a hug (actually three) and I told him about the past shows I'd been to and how this was one of my favorites because it was so intimate. And aaaaaaaaaaah the heaven's parted and I got not one, but TWO pictures with him!!!

me and Craig, new bffs :)

and Kourt joined the pic too!

After the pictures I told Craig to please come back to LA sooner than 7 years from now and he made the joke "how about 7 days from now?", haha. Oh how I wish! After we left I couldn't believe I could even walk since I was so ecstatic and exhausted, but we made it and I still can't believe it...

I MET CRAIG DAVID!!!!

I know it doesn't mean much to a lot of people, but to me last night was nine years in the making and I'm so incredibly happy it finally happened!


Anyhoo yay Craig! And I highly recommend you check out his music, it's fantastic.




happy wednesday!
