Sara: did you see the Lindsey Lohan Marilyn pics?
Jenn: YES! I don’t want to talk about it…but I will…
The famous “Last Sitting” with Marilyn Monroe was shot by photographer Bert Stern in June 1962, just six weeks before Marilyn’s untimely passing. These photographs are by far and away my favorite ones of Marilyn ever! I have always wanted to recreate them for my own Marilyn project, but never thought I had enough strength to actually do it justice.
So…Lindsey Lohan has posed as Marilyn Monroe to recreate these photographs with Bert Stern (the only! redeeming quality about this whole thing!) I suppose I see the parallel - actresses, a battle with substances - but the difference was Marilyn fought her own demons and struggled for years, Lohan does it to herself. Her story is not one of tragedy rather than stupidity. And if I weren’t even to take HER personally into it, the photos are a dry, emotionalness reenactment. She looks like a zombie trying to do its best Marilyn impression. And THAT is the biggest flaw, its Lindsey Lohan TRYING to be Marilyn. Failed. I would have rather seen someone like Scarlett Johansson do these shots, a real actress. And what is with the wig?!?! AND THEN she has this to say about both Marilyn’s and Heath Ledger’s death…
“They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone,” says Lohan.
When it is pointed out to Lohan, who has been in rehab three times, that the possibility may exist of a similar fate for her, the young actress replies with a tinge of annoyance: “I don’t know. I’m not them. But I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”
I can’t even respond.
This may be a bias rant, but this is why I have my own blog! 
I got to decorate the front display window at my work, and I think its adorable!
(Yes, I am a total nerd and take pictures of corny decorations. but its cute!)
Take a look!
So, Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
The Beatles are STILL winning awards! Ringo is so goofy but he had to represent. My question is where was Pauly? The tribute to The Beatles by Cirque du Soleil and some of the cast of Across the Universe was fantastic. “Let It Be” gave me chills and made me teary eyed.
I got weepy twice actually, again when Kanye sang “Mama”, amazingly enough he got through it pretty well. As great as Kanye is and how he is a formitable man in the music industry, it does not give him the right to be a total jerk. He just bosses everyone around and says how he is going to be the best recording artist of all time. But he did walk off with four awards, so he should be pleased. I LOVED it when Vince Gill burned him. “I was just given an award by a Beatle…Kanye, can you say that?” OHH SNAP!
As much as I didn’t want her to win, Amy Winehouse’s acceptance of the record of the year award was touching. That album is amazing and pretty much flawless but she is our anti-drug. I wish she would get her act together.
John Mayer represented Fairfield during a performance with Alicia Keys but was snubbed for the male pop vocal performance by Mr. JT. Foo Fighters won for best rock album, I really though Daughtry had that one, but was pleasantly surprised! ”Love (The Beatles)” produced by George Martin & Giles Martin won for best compliation soundtrack - as well it should have! Flight of the Conchords won for best comdey album for ”The Distant Future.” The most awkward moment of the night had to be Keely Smith and Kid Rock’s performance of “Witchcraft”…Kid forgot some of the words, and it was just a strange match up.
My mom fell asleep half way through and asked what she missed. I told her, “Kanye and Amy Winehouse won stuff, people gave awkward presentations and acceptances and the Beatles are still freakin’ rad.” Pretty much sums it all up.
