Ain't Nothin Like the Love of My Life
I definitely need to set my DVR to record the season finale - Monday at 8 on VH1
Here are some highlights from this season:
Both still burger!
Patriots tight end (and fan favorite) Rob Gronkowski chats with a nerd from one of those ESPN shows to share his thoughts on being Gronk. And its awesome.
"Whats it like being a team mate of Tom Brady?"
"Its like holding hands with Batman as you take a walk on the sun"
Ain't no thing but a chicken wing
Buffalo Chicken Cupcakes? My head is going to explode.
At first I thought this was crazy but after reading about CupcakeProject's recipe....I thought: maybe not so bad? CupcakeProject's recipe includes hot sauce and blue cheese in the cake (which is similar to corn bread) and a blue cheese buttercream frosting.
Garnish with a buffalo wing!

Classy....kinda
Nothing quite says romance like an evening at White Castle....
The fast food chain will be transforming itself for the holiday by offering a sit-down dining experience for the sixth year.
The special Valentine's Day decor includes red table cloths, plastic flowers and "charming decorations" - and diners will be treated to free dessert , as well as "a free downloadable and sharable photo" of the dining experience.
Worried about the crowds? Fear not. White Castle is offering reservations for the special evening, according to its Facebook page.

just plain awesome
“Ahhhhm ... so in love with you,” he sang. Then he grinned and said, “Those guys didn’t think I would do it.” He did not specify who “those guys” were.
Mitt Romney just can't compete with that #notbadmrpresident

Bitch you ain't no Barbie
Black Market Barbie?
Barbie has actually been banned in Iran since 1996 for her "destructive cultural and social consequences," but toy stores have ignored the ban. However, in the light of tightening US sanctions against Iran, local police are visiting toy sellers to demand the removal of Barbie.
Instead of Barbie, Iranian stores are supposed to sell Sara (a doll who wears modest Islamic dress) but toy retailers are reportedly responding by covertly stocking Barbies — one manager puts Sara in the window and secretly sells Barbie inside the store.

Got me meltin’, oh my days, yeah!
Let me give you double helpings, you’ll be screaming
Baby baby baby baby… oh oh oh!
This ain't no fashion show mothaf*cka, we live it
"Stand as far away as you can from your mirror and look at yourself through the wrong end of a pair of opera glasses. Do you stand out?" - Miss Piggy
Project Runway has given some of the industries' harshest judges a platform for to rip up-and-coming designers to shreds, but tonights's episode of the newly launched Project Runway All Stars season will feature a particularly outspoken critic - the one and only Miss Piggy!
Miss Piggy will lend her fashion knowledge, and critiques, when the designers are challenged to create a cocktail dress for her. Watch tonight at 9pm on Lifetime :)
Shit New Yorkers Say
I think I'm gonna make a video called "Shit I Say" - its probably the only one that hasn't been done :)

...then we gonna have to name the lil' baby Mercedes
Her question was regarding the use of her last name (i hope her soon-to-be maiden name) as a first name for her hypothetical baby boy. We debated how it would sound with a last name, how it would sound with a middle name, the use of just the first initials in email signatures etc. But the truth is, it is 2012 and people are naming their kids crazy things - anything goes.
And there is no shortage of inspiration for baby names. In fact, last year a couple from Illinois let Facebook users pick the name for their baby girl using a poll from the Name My Child App. And in Egypt, some guy actually NAMED his daughter Facebook.
So since we are on the topic (and in light of the fact that Beyonce recently jacked my favorite baby name), I would like to publicly reserve a couple baby names so none of you bitches rip them off!
Respect the date/time stamp.
Boy names: Ben, Max, Elijah, Noah, Ethan, Vincent (my dad's name, no touch-y!) and Roscoe (destined to play football)
Girl names: Grace (seriously, don't touch this one), Sofia, Ava, Ella, Antonia
Black cars, black cards, all black everything
Wendy's is launching a new burger....and its luxe!
Wendy's "Black Label" burger is rumored to debut in two flavors: Bacon Portabella ($4.89, dressed in mushroom sauce, muenster cheese, three bacon slices, tomato and pepper sauce) and Spicy Santa Fe ($4.49, decked in guacamole, pepper jack cheese, salad greens, tomato, red onion and a cilantro lime sauce). According to the poster, these burgers boast "the perfect harmony of signature taste and select ingredients."
The company, who has carved out a niche as quality fast-food for adults, admits that its strategy is to go after "fast casual restaurants" like Smashburger and Five Guys and the Black Label burger seems to be the next logical step. BUT where Wendy's will not be able to compete is with the competitors is atmosphere and menu options....which makes this hilarious to me.
In other fast food news, on January 11 police arrested a woman outside a McDonald's in Burbank, California after she allegedly offered sex to a customer in exchange for his chicken McNuggets.

Go Pats
I'm surprised it took me this long to post about my beloved Patriots!
After a stellar performance on Saturday night, The Patriots are back in the AFC title game for the sixth time in 11 seasons under coach Bill Belichick.
Sunday we face the Ravens. While I don't this the Pats will put up another 45 points against Baltimore, I think we have a good shot at stopping Rice and messing with Flacco.
Fingers crossed for my team boarding a flight to Indy in roughly two weeks!
This show doesn't need a laugh track
Getting excited for Comedy Central's new sketch series "Key & Peele" - hoping this show can manage to stay on the air while still cracking me up :)
Premieres Jan 31st
Watch a preview here. This made me LOL in 48 seconds

Sweeeeeetttt!
M&M's will introduce a new character in a commercial during Super Bowl XLVI. "Ms. Brown" is the sixth computer-animated mascot for the brand, following walking and talking versions of the red, yellow, blue, green and orange M&M's.
The brand describes Ms. Brown as "an intelligent woman with a sharp wit who finally decided to reveal herself after working for decades behind the scenes as chief chocolate officer."
Pleased to meet you.
All these karats like I'm a fuckin' vegetarian
Accessories, accessories and more accessories! Today a friend described me as a girl who loves "accessories." For me, accessories range from bags to jewelry to cell phone cases.
And as a general rule, the more sparkle the better. So I was thrilled to see these pics of queens and princesses in their most regal attire from Queen Margrethe II of Denmark's celebration yesterday.
Stunning!
