Didn’t see the whole Video Music Awards, but I am in awe of Shakira’s belly control skills. Maybe I should take up belly dancing? That seems to be the in thing now. Also, I think My Chemical Romance should have gotten at least one award. I had never heard of the band before I saw the “Helena” video a few months ago, and my eyes are always glued to the screen when it comes on. Yes, it’s over-the-top emotional, but it is well done. And I even kind of like the song . . . at least it is not the usual jiggling tarts that are showcased in every rap video . . .
I am now hooked on Laguna Beach. Isn’t that really sad? By the way, did you know that Orange County is, like, 40% Latino and 30% Asian . . . and yet you see none of either ethnic group on the show – what’s up with that? Also, these people don’t seem to go to any classes and have very little parental supervision. They are not poor. One girl last night said that for Valentine’s Day she bought $100 worth of candles and stuff. I remember when I was her age, it was a hassle just to pry $10 from my father . . .
I refuse to watch anymore My Super Sweet 16, because the people are just too . . . too. My parents would have killed me, or knocked me into next week, if I ever spoke to them the way these kids do. And the entitlement these kids feel! Oy!
Am I becoming a cranky old lady? I’m only 34 and I’m ranting about “kids these days” . . .

No you are not becoming a cranky old lady, hee hee. I hate that super sweet 16 show also. It's sad in a way, such a waste of money - what are they teaching these kids. Wouldn't a better sweet 16 be doing an adventure hiking tour in the Andes or something, probably cost the same? Or charity work that makes you feel better about yourself?
Really not much on MTV nowadays that I can stomach, do like the Real World/Road Rules Challenges.
Actually my guilty pleasure was the show "Kept" on VH1.
