Cure for Hiatus - #5 Supernatural Magazine

natewinchester — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 03:33:23 +0000

You can see my review of the magazine basics here.

Supernatural Magazine issue 5 came out yesterday! I had some gift cards to spend and thought I may as well pick it up while I was shopping. What the...
The cover to magazine #5 is bright pink.
Bright... pink.
BRIGHT! PINK!
is there any other pair of words that fit the show less than "bright pink"? Seriously, it took me nearly 10 minutes to find this because the BRIGHT PINK kept throwing me off. This issue will have to be the best ever to recover from the cover.

Regulars - Just 1 poster. Dean on one side, Sam on the other. Still no car. =( Rest of the regulars were solid as always, and the Director's interview seemed a little better this time. Top 5 this issue are Winchester allies. Maintains a 4.

Specials

Darkness Falls - Article on Jared Padalecki. Has some pretty good information in it, not a pure fluff piece. It was a special treat to hear some of the pranks he likes to pull on Jensen and Jim Beavers. What were they? I'm not going to spoil it for you! Got to give you some reason to pick up the magazine right? My copy does have a hilarious typo. (on page 16) "'...but the people who know the show are fans of Jared and myself,' Padalecki concludes." 7 pages of goodness brings in a rank of 4.
Location, Location, Location... - Oooo... talk about the actual settings for the show. 8 pages which have not just a good interview, but detail boxes on some of the show's most famous locales. More features like this please. 5.
Samantha Smith - How to put this. It's not a bad interview (at least equal to the one with Amber Benson) but... I think I'll have to do a full article on Mary Winchester soon, might help me gather my thoughts on these 6 pages. Nothing against the actress I swear! Still... only a 3 here.
Supernatural Awards - the Results! - You know what's the most fun about these? Yelling at the pages about how some fans were wrong! Just kidding. A lot of awards were well deserved, it is a neat little "fan barometer", but this is another feature I'm going to have to delve into more detail. The envelope please... The ranking, for these 8 pages is... a 5! *cue music*
Crew Cut - I'm not exactly a "film nerd" like some people but I do enjoy reading about the technical aspects of what it takes to make a show/movie. And (full disclosure) as someone who's made some music videos using video clips (from tv/movies), I was most anxious to read this article (hence why I'm saving it for last). So yes, I am bias towards these 5 pages but they are still a 5.

So how did this issue average out? I kind of want to round up to the max, but this issue HAD A BRIGHT PINK COVER! I've got to remove a shell for that.

Awesome interior but man that cover offends my very soul.
Actually, announcement! Assuming I can find the alternate cover to #5 (my new hunting target), I will give away the issue I bought to a lucky contest winner. What is the contest? Ummm...
Hunt for it tomorrow!

Russie goes GQ!

accidentalsexiness — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:47:18 +0000

Hottie Russell Brand was featured in the new GQ Magazine August 2008 Edition.

Here are the highlights of the interview:

Age: 33
Credits: Forgetting Sarah Marshall & Penelope
What Comedy god do you worship: Richard Pryor
The funniest word: It's not a word, it's two words-digital manipulation, the process wherein a nurse, using her index finger, digs excrement out of an elderly patient's rectum to assist defacation.

Worst performance: Edinburgh Festival, 2001. I was dragged from the stage by the security at the gig, thrown thru a plate-glass door, and taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary with blood pulsing out of my leg. I had seen a documentary not long before about nurses offering digital manipulation as an extra service, I requested it. It was denied.

You call the most powerful person in comedy (A) Judd or (B) Mr. Apatow: Judd. But if I was referring to him to a third party, I would say, Could you see that Mr. Apatow has enough towels in his room this morning? or Ask Mr. Apatow if he requests fellatio before today's filming.'

Jonas Brothers Rolling Stones Article!

celebteen — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:25:11 +0000

Hellooooo Jonas Brothers! Here's an excerpt from the article featured in this months Rolling Stone magazine. It can be found on the Rolling Stone website.

Moments ago, they met the Jonas Brothers in person at a "meet and greet" photo op, and now they stand red-cheeked, quivering and sobbing uncontrollably, as if they've been told that Disneyland just burned down, with the world's supply of kittens and baby pandas trapped inside.

"Omigodomigodomigod," Jordan says, holding her arms aloft and shaking her palms in the air.

"I got tingles in my body all over the place, because I. Just. Met. Nick. Jonas," Jackie says.

"I've wanted to meet them for, like, my whole entire life," Jordan says.

How old are you?

"Ten."

It's like this everywhere. At a Jonas Brothers concert in Dallas, I meet a 17-year-old girl named Lauren who hosted a red-carpet premiere party at her house for the brothers' recent Disney Channel movie, Camp Rock. ("Even my girlfriends who weren't into it, we made them dress up," she says.) I meet girls from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, one of whose dad drove them seven hours to the concert ("He wore an iPod"). I meet many fans who, like the Jonases, wear "purity rings," vowing chastity until marriage. I meet a precocious 11-year-old named Hannah (not Montana) from New York. "We have to teach people to like the Jonas Brothers," she instructs me, finger wagging. And why is Hannah from New York in Dallas?

"To see the Jonas Brothers," she says. "Duh."

Back in Phoenix, the brothers Jonas — Nick, 15, Joe, 18, and Kevin, 20 — are preparing to start their show. All three boys stand less than five-feet-ten, and each possesses a fantastic mane of dark-brown hair. Joe's hair is ironed flat. Kevin used to flat-iron his, but now it's curly again, and he's got thick sideburns; Nick, the brothers' chief songwriter and leader, has always kept the curls. Under Nick's fitted brown linen suit is an insulin pump, adhered to his lower back. Nick was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2005 and must carefully monitor his blood-sugar levels; the band's mammoth bodyguard, Big Rob, carries an insulin shot at all times in case of an emergency.

The backstage hallway quickly fills with members of the extended Jonas family. There's the backup band — guys in their 20s, some of whom have been with the JBs since the days when they rattled around New Jersey playing grimy clubs. There's a swarm of female string players in tuxedo shirts hired to play onstage. There's the band's clean-cut co-manager, Phil McIntyre, and there's Kevin Jonas Sr., the boys' brown-haired, soft-spoken 43-year-old father. A former Christian musician and church pastor raised in North Carolina, Kevin Sr. serves with McIntyre as the band's co-manager.

The group forms a circle and clasps hands. "Two quick things," Kevin Sr. says. "We brought four people from the grass all the way to the front row tonight, so they're pretty excited." This is a Jonas norm — plucking die-hards from the nosebleeds and giving them the best seats in the house. Kevin Sr. tells the band to look out for a girl's softball team that just had a 13-year-old teammate killed in an ATV accident. "They're right at the end of the catwalk," he says. "One of them is wearing the shirt the girl was going to wear tonight."

Kevin Sr. dips his head in prayer. "Heavenly father, we just pray that you'll bless us this time, let it be fun and safe and exciting," he says. "Thank you for all the people that are here. We were at 60 percent just a week ago, and it looks full. Lord, we just pray that every person will be encouraged in Jesus' name."

The band members and crew holler. "Bring it in!" they shout. Hands are joined and raised to the ceiling.

"Livin' the dream!" they yell.

Big Rob escorts Nick, Kevin and Joe to their places. Suddenly, the lights go dark, triggering a roar in the 20,000-seat Cricket Wireless Pavilion that can only be described as primal. And it is, in a way. The neuropsychiatrist Dr. Louann Brizendine, author of the bestseller The Female Brain, says the release of dopamine in a screaming teenage girl's brain upon seeing her pop idols is like "injecting heroin." Being with other screaming girls, she says, only makes the effect wilder.

"There's a thing in biology we call synchrony," Brizendine says. "Basically, one girl affects another affects another, and it becomes a domino effect building up to that level of hysteria. They are getting all these brain hits of dopamine, and also oxytocin, which is a love-and-bonding hormone. Teenage girls have so much estrogen, which just catapults the level of dopamine and oxytocin in the brain, creating this sort of ecstatic rush in themselves and others. It truly is a state of ecstatic love."

Tonight in Phoenix, as the Jonas Brothers kick off with their buoyant, guitar-driven anthem, "That's Just the Way We Roll," it sounds a lot like ecstatic love. It sounds like clean, wholesome fun. It also sounds like money.

Two years ago, we were in a big red passenger van with a trailer hitched to the back with all our gear," Nick says. It is the afternoon of the Phoenix concert, and the Jonas Brothers are flying to the show in a chartered Gulfstream G4 with espresso-color leather chairs. "Big Bertha," Joe says. "It had a dent in it, and we'd flip the seats around and call it —"

"The Players Lounge," Nick says, smiling.

Kevin reaches over and shows me a small display screen attached to the wall. "The amazing thing about this plane? It has cameras all over." He flips a channel. "That's the wing." He flips again. "That's another." Flip. "That's underneath."

In the back of the plane sit the Jonas parents, Kevin Sr. and Denise, as well as McIntyre, Big Rob and the boys' personal assistant, Felicia Culotta, who, like Big Rob, used to work the bubblegum trenches for Britney Spears. As we talk, a pretty flight attendant delivers lunch: chicken fingers from KFC.

"We once played this show in Jersey," Nick says, munching on a chicken finger. "It was, seriously, the most horrible little rock club in the world. It fit maybe 50 people. When we got there, the guy said there was a heavy-metal band the night before that blew out the PA system, so they'd have to take the monitors and spin them around."

"It was out of control," says Kevin. "And our crowds were interesting."

Interesting?

"Curious," Nick says.

Joe laughs. "It was like when you perform in third grade or your little sister has a ballet. They'd all go like this — " he puts down his chicken finger and does a slow clap. "It was like that."

"It had potential," Nick says. "Like it could be crazy. But it wasn't there yet."

Despite their closeness, the Jonases aren't exactly alike. Kevin, the oldest, is the extrovert, chatting up bus drivers and security guards, crouching on his knees to greet little kids at shows. Middle child Joe, who resembles a prettier version of the actor Peter Gallagher, is the quieter Jonas, with a wild alter ego revealed onstage, where he swivels his hips and twirls a mike stand like a lightsaber. "I'm really inspired by Mick Jagger and Freddie Mercury — the big frontmen," he says. "I heard Jagger does an hour on a treadmill before every show."

Nick, by contrast, is the Jonas Brothers' boss — the spokesman, the best musician, the chief songwriter. It might seem odd for Joe and Kevin to take their lead from their kid brother, but the Jonases don't see it that way. "Nicholas has always been older than he was," their father tells me. Despite his heartthrob status, Nick has more Eddie Vedder in him than he does Shaun Cassidy. He says his favorite songs are Elvis Costello's "(I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea" and Johnny Cash's "Give My Love to Rose."

Nick says he'd like to do a Jonas-Cash tribute album. "We could call it, Jonas Brothers Pay Tribute to the Man in Black," he says.

"I get it," Joe says. "When I was young, I wanted to know what my favorite bands were up to all the time. And it's funny when there's a rumor. It's funny when you find out there are other celebrities with crushes on you, like when I read that Lauren Conrad from The Hills liked me."

Nick agrees. "The Kim Kardashian rumor [about me] was hilarious," he says. "I was honored, but I was like, 'Reggie Bush would kill me!'"

Of course, Nick's always being dogged by the speculation about his relationship with one particular girl: Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hannah Montana, the blue-eyed Disney dynamo who helped break the Jonas Brothers when she brought them onboard her hit TV show and Best of Both Worlds Tour.

"There was a point in our lives when we were very close," Nick says softly of the Miley rumors. "We were neighbors when we were on tour together. It was good. Just really close. But it would crack me up — I would read these stories online, people saying things that were completely untrue."

Reading the Nick and Miley gossip, you get the feeling that America is in a rush to anoint a Magic Kingdom Charles and Di. After all, the primary engine behind the Jonas Brothers phenomenon — besides the brothers themselves — is the Walt Disney Company, which has made hundreds of millions of dollars blanketing the American tweenscape with a sun shower of G-rated musical entertainment. With its various subsidiaries — including Disney Channel, Radio Disney and a record company, Hollywood Records, not to mention theme parks and merchandising arms — Disney has built powerhouse 21st-century franchises like High School Musical and Hannah Montana. In an era when music companies have struggled to connect with record buyers, Disney prospered by cultivating a demographic that had been largely ignored. "People don't think they have much buying power, but they do," says Disney president Robert Iger. "We decided they should be our core demo."

The Jonas Brothers, of course, are grateful for the support of Mickey's white glove. Disney, after all, fished the boys out of the pop-rock abyss and inserted them into the Hannah-verse, exposing them to millions of love-struck consumers (opening for Miley Cyrus in '07 was kind of like batting in front of Babe Ruth in 1927). But today on their jet, the Jonases want everyone to know that they weren't cooked up in a Disney laboratory by Mouse-hat-wearing demographers, that they play their own instruments, write their own songs, and that, yes, they are, in fact, brothers.

"People seriously ask us all the time," Kevin says. "'Are you guys really brothers?'"

Joe laughs. "It's like, no, we named our band Jonas Brothers just for fun."

FRESH COVER: The Obama's

The Agent — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:51:57 +0000

Sen. Barack Obama takes the cover of People magazine’s latest issue.

Joining the Democratic presidential candidate on the cover is his wife Michelle, and his two daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. Here’s a little sneak peek:

– Barack’s daughters get a $1 per week allowance from Dad for doing their chores, like setting and clearing the dinner table.
– The kids receive no birthday or Christmas presents from Mom and Dad, who spend “hundreds” on birthday slumber parties and, as Barack puts it, “want to teach some limits.”

Project: Cereal Box Magazine Holders

Thomas Ward — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:02:34 +0000

WARNING: All projects performed at home should be done with adult supervision and all appropriate safety precautions should be taken. All directions should be followed exactly and no substitutions should be used, unless noted otherwise.

If you're like me, you have quite a magazine collection going on. So much so, in fact, that you now have a hard time finding a place to put them all! Well, with today's project (my first in awhile), you can make new places to store your old magazines, using only cereal boxes.

What you'll need:

1 Cereal Box (10.5 in. tall, 9 in. wide, 3.75 in. deep)
Utility knife
Ruler
Pencil
Decorations (gift wrap, newspaper, etc.)

Use the pencil and ruler to mark a line four inches from the bottom of the box. This portion of the box will be removed later.
Draw a diagonal line from the four inch mark to the top opposite of your line
Repeat on the other side of the box.
Cut the box, on the line, using the utility knife. Be sure to make your cuts smooth and even, which will prevent the cardboard from splintering.
Decorate the box in any fashion you like. I prefer spray paint, but old newspapers, glitter, and even your own custom artwork will work just as well.

Now, you will no longer have to worry about losing your favorite issues of "Nintendo Power" or "Popular Science" ever again!

If It Makes You Happy

Lyrically Me — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 17:50:44 +0000

"If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Than why the hell are you so sad?"
-Sheryl Crow

Yesterday was a bit of a roller coaster, I received an email from my mom around 1 telling me my grandmother was in the ER with what they believed to be a stroke. Constant updates all day and worrying about my family kind of took its toll on me, and I was relieved later to find out that her tests all came back a-okay, that it was not actually a stroke, and that the doctors were releasing her to go home. Whew. It's kind of a reminder, of sorts to take stock and take note of your blessings. So, I'm tripping over to the corny side and making a list today of what I'm grateful for:

My grandmother is healthy
Well, my whole family is healthy for the most part. That's good stuff
I got my kid potty trained (I set her 3rd birthday as a goal)
Long hot baths in my big ginormous tub
My kids make me smile
My youngest made me laugh so hard last night which made her laugh harder which made me laugh harder - it was hilarious
My mother's helper is hanging with the kids so I can get work done today (I'm not just blogging - I swear)
Resolved yucky tense argument with my husband
Coke Zero
Warm, not stifling temperatures
Heath Ledger's kick-ass performance in "Dark Knight" (seriously, better than I'd anticipated - even with all the hype. It's not just hype).
Super cold water with ice
Got a magazine in the mail so I can ditch this trashy novel I'm reading
Saw that WordPress has an iPhone app (yay)
Counting Crows released a new album on iTunes yesterday of live stuff
I've managed to avoid buying the new Miley Cyrus cd for my kiddo
I bought the movie "Juno" on DVD the other day, and plan to watch it til I can't stand it anymore. "Oh my blog!"
Sent my friend a box of Tootsie Pops and Sharpies for her birthday and she got it already! I love sending presents.

I'm gonna stop. I keep thinking of stuff. Which is good. Very very good.

Pregnant man debuts baby. . .

The Agent — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:50:54 +0000

It's been three weeks since his/her blue-eyed baby debuted in this world, but Thomas Beatie – better known around the world as the Pregnant Man – can already say this about his daughter's personality: "She's easygoing and mellow and intelligent."

On June 29 at 8:55 p.m., Beatie, 34, a former female beauty pageant contestant, made cultural history as perhaps the first legally transgender male to give birth, bringing into the world a 9 lbs., 5 oz. baby girl named Susan Juliette.

No matter what this child will have SERIOUS issues - I don't care how far in acceptance we'll come by the time she's of age!!

Los Jonas Brothers en la revista Rolling Stone

popstarmagazine — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:37:38 +0000

Les dejo el articulo (English):

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Tapa de la revista RollingStone"][/caption]

It's nearing 8:00 on a sweltering night in Phoenix, and as the temperature mercifully dips below 100 degrees, a trillion swelling hormones have collected at the Cricket Wireless Pavilion to experience the Jonas Brothers. Among the undersize pilgrims in attendance are Jordan and Jackie, a pair of blond preteens from nearby Scottsdale. Moments ago, they met the Jonas Brothers in person at a "meet and greet" photo op, and now they stand red-cheeked, quivering and sobbing uncontrollably, as if they've been told that Disneyland just burned down, with the world's supply of kittens and baby pandas trapped inside.

"Omigodomigodomigod," Jordan says, holding her arms aloft and shaking her palms in the air.

"I got tingles in my body all over the place, because I. Just. Met. Nick. Jonas," Jackie says.

"I've wanted to meet them for, like, my whole entire life," Jordan says.

How old are you?

"Ten."

"To see the Jonas Brothers," she says. "Duh."
Back in Phoenix, the brothers Jonas — Nick, 15, Joe, 18, and Kevin, 20 — are preparing to start their show. All three boys stand less than five-feet-ten, and each possesses a fantastic mane of dark-brown hair. Joe's hair is ironed flat. Kevin used to flat-iron his, but now it's curly again, and he's got thick sideburns; Nick, the brothers' chief songwriter and leader, has always kept the curls. Under Nick's fitted brown linen suit is an insulin pump, adhered to his lower back. Nick was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2005 and must carefully monitor his blood-sugar levels; the band's mammoth bodyguard, Big Rob, carries an insulin shot at all times in case of an emergency.

The band members and crew holler. "Bring it in!" they shout. Hands are joined and raised to the ceiling.

"Livin' the dream!" they yell.

"It had potential," Nick says. "Like it could be crazy. But it wasn't there yet."

Nick says he'd like to do a Jonas-Cash tribute album. "We could call it, Jonas Brothers Pay Tribute to the Man in Black," he says.

Naturally, the Jonases have started to become tabloid targets, and they seem amused by the gossip about their dating life. Lately, Joe's been fending off the rumor — and by fending off, I mean totally enjoying — that he's dating country-music chanteuse Taylor Swift, who was spotted in the crowd at the Dallas concert and who will appear in the band's upcoming 3-D movie. Kevin's been photographed boating in Miami with a brown-haired knockout named Danielle.
"I get it," Joe says. "When I was young, I wanted to know what my favorite bands were up to all the time. And it's funny when there's a rumor. It's funny when you find out there are other celebrities with crushes on you, like when I read that Lauren Conrad from The Hills liked me."

Nick agrees. "The Kim Kardashian rumor [about me] was hilarious," he says. "I was honored, but I was like, 'Reggie Bush would kill me!'"

"People seriously ask us all the time," Kevin says. "'Are you guys really brothers?'"

Joe laughs. "It's like, no, we named our band Jonas Brothers just for fun."
