>The worst has happened.
No Britney isn’t pregnant.
I went to pop in one of my favorite Christmas movie tonight and then….oh shit.
Where did it go?
I don’ t know how it happened but I am missing my copy of A Muppets Christmas Carol and I honestly don’t know how Christmas can happen next week without it.
Now I know how Tiny Tim felt.
>***Contains spoilers for Survivor:China***
So Todd Herzog deservedly won Survivor: China tonight, but I would like to 
discuss a couple of things.

When I was a kid my mom used to always hold “Holiday Open Houses”. Basically this meant that for a week she was a stress case and that on a Sunday close to Christmas she would invite every person that she’d ever met to share in some holiday cheer.

Hey do you remember May 23, 2007?
Can’t.Wait.
>So it finally happened.

Tonight at my part time job at the hotel was supposed to be like any other. I got there and saw that I was bartending in one of our smaller banquet rooms. I grabbed my corkscrew and went to the bar and started getting the bar ready for the small private function of 50.

Today PETA launched one of it’s biggest smear campaigns against a single person (or twins in this case) in recent memory.
The victims this time are none other than the famous twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. You probably remember them as the cute scene stealing Michelle Tanner on the long running sitcom Full House. (Bonus points to those who remember them in New York Minute.)
PETA has often criticized the famous twins for both wearing fur and using it in their clothing lines. However, a campaign against someone of their stature usually means putting them on top of a “Worst Offenders” list, but PETA took it one step further today when they renamed the Olsen Twins, The Trolsen Twins.
They even went as far to create a whole new website dedicated to “Hairy-Kate” and “Trashley”. On the website you’ll also find less than flattering characters of the twins that portray them almost zombie-like. Through PETA website you can also buy Trolsen Twin Merchandise, watch an edited clip of the Full House opening theme portraying the twins as monsters and perhaps even more disturbing than the videos that show how animals are mistreated, you can actually dress up Mary Kate or Ashley in different types of fur clothing that is actually still dripping in blood. You can give Mary Kate a “dead doggy purse”, or dress Ashley up in some “kitty dripped mittens”.
PETA makes it no secret about their disdain for the Olsen twins, however this is where I feel the powerful organization hits a fowl…or is it foul?
Wearing fur or creating garmets with certain types of fur is not illegal. While in today’s society it may be frowned upon, the Olsen twins aren’t necessarily doing anything wrong. It just so happens that their fashion taste goes against PETA’s core values, so does that make it fair for them to be so blatantly attacked? Especially on such a grand scale?
Since when is it OK for anyone to create an entire website, merchandise, video games against someone we don’t like because of their believes? If the Olsen twins want to wear fur, we don’t have to like it, but unfortunately we do have to live with it. By PETA going to such extreme lengths to get their point across, they are encouraging the Twin’s core audience (teens) that if you don’t like what someone believes in or wears, you are perfectly allowed to do whatever it takes to embarrass them until they give in and change.
If we as a society were actually allowed doing this, you better believe I would have made “Calgarians don’t know how to Merge!” or “Hey Lady, why are so walking so freaking slow?!?!” t-shirts along time ago! But while I hate that people don’t know how to merge or walk at a reasonable pace, I can’t do anything about it. I can’t embarrass them. Life simply must go on.
I know that those comparisons aren’t exactly the same as butchering millions of animals, but that is not Fashion Designers faults, it’s the government that continue to allow the slaughter to happen.
If PETA wants the Olsen twins to change the way they dress and the clothes they design there is a better and more responsible way of doing so. Whether it be through a letter campaign or a public interview. However, trying to embarrass and bully Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen to the point where they are forced to change how they dress would not be tolerated in schools, so is it ok when the grown ups do it?

***I am supposed be on Energy 101.5 Tuesday morning to talk about the finale between 730 and 815am, Keep your fingers crossed!****
So we finally got treated to The Hills “season” finale.
Didn’t watch it?
Won’t have a chance to watch the 10 million repeats of it that will air this week?
No worries, I got you covered.
So here is a quick round up of the final moments:
-Audrina did nothing, said nothing.
-Whitney gets to go to Paris
-Lisa Love finally invites Lauren to go to Paris, but not before telling Lauren that she ran away to Paris when she was 15 and knows that Paris will be life changing for Lauren.
-Brody admits he wants Lauren to stay.
-After getting Kim to lie to Spencer about her whereabouts, Heidi and Spencer decide they need to give each other space. During this scene they each used the word “space” 48 times. It was awkward.
-Audrina still doing nothing.
-Heidi decides to go to Colorado.
-Apparently she is driving there!
Here are tonight’s top 5 best quotes from the big show:
“I think Lauren had her chance to go to Paris” - Lisa Love
“I feel like I’m in a relationship with a 5 year old”-Heidi (about guess who)
“Stupid Jason” -Lauren (about regretting her season 1 decision)
“Have you ever been to Paris this time of year? Or have you never been?” Whitney (rubbing it in again)
“Sorry Spencer, Heidi went home” Kimberly (Heidi’s assistant) lying to Spencer about Heidi leaving the office.
So the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:
-In keeping with the theme that the Hills is fake the announcement was……..that this WASN’T the season finale, it was actually just a fall finale and the show will be back soon to show the girls in Paris!!!!!
You can only watch the preview at www.thehills.mtv.com
BUT don’t worry, I watched it for you:
After spending two whole days in Paris, Lauren finds out that Brody has a new girlfriend back in LA. This causes her to go on a French man hunt and meets friendly smoking French gentleman who takes her on a tour of the eiffle tour and a midnight scooter ride.
Meanwhile, after being confronted about her career aspirations by a fellow Teen Vogue employee, Whitney decides that the time has come for her to leave Teen Vogue!!! She tells Lauren she will talk to Lisa when she gets back to LA.
There was nothing about Heidi or Audrina!
That’s it, The Hills are going away for now!!!
What will I possibly talk about.
Check back, I bet I can come up with something…..
>Bah, so apparently Jessi is SWAMPED right now getting ready for tonight’s HUGE live Hills finale and the interview was canceled. But the radio station said that I would be on later this week chatting about some other stuff.

My life is spinning out of control.
