Weekend Highlights: MTV Movie Awards

We had a pretty busy weekend, but no photos to really document it, so instead I will dish about the 2010 MTV Movie Awards with you all on this fine Monday morning. Excellent.

– Kristen Stewart looked really pretty in her D&G dress, but she is still so painful to watch. Can someone up her dosage of Xanax?
– Yay for Sandra Bullock. She deserved all the praise. Totally love her. (& her hot shoes)
– Katy Perry & Russell Brand are such a cute couple.
– ScarJo & Ryan are never together at any awards shows. I am officially suspicious.
– Tom Cruise managed to erase years and years of bad press with one performance.
– I felt so terrible for poor Tom Felton during his acceptance speech – I still don’t really understand why Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell were hanging from wires.
– Speaking of Tom Felton, I literally got goosebumps during the Potter teaser.
– Hearts on vaginas. I hope this is not a new trend.
– Twilight won everything. Surprise?

& while on the pop culture tip, how excited are my fellow truebies about this Sunday’s season 3 premiere??
Let’s hope this week goes by quickly! ;)

Lovable Friday!

I’m back everyone!!! I’ve felt pretty detached from all things Internet since we started the move last weekend, but I’m happy to report that I am back in the saddle! We are completely head over heels over our new home, but it is a lot of work! I’ll make sure to post pictures next week of the progress we have made and will be sharing a lot of our ideas for the future. Also, make sure to keep your eyes peeled next week for another amazing fashion giveaway you are going to love! June is going to be a very busy month for Melificent – I can’t wait to share it all with you guys!

1. Smashing Pumpkins Announce Intimate US tour

I honestly cannot control my insane happiness over the news that my favorite band in the world, The Smashing Pumpkins, will be playing an extremely intimate series of shows during the month of July. As if that wasn’t cool enough, one of their few stops is in Fort Lauderdale, specifically, at Revolution Live (one of my favorite venues)! Are you kidding me???? I’m pretty sure I just fangirled myself. Mr. Corgan is also hinting that special VIP access may be granted to some special fans including a private soundcheck! Unfortunately, the band has not released ticket prices or onsale dates, which has me extremely anxious. Must.have.tickets.now.

Short Hiatus

Unfortunately, Melificent will be on hiatus until Wednesday, but I have a very good reason!
The hubs and I will finally be moving into our new home and won’t have Internet until Tuesday.
So I’m happy to report that my next post will be coming straight from the new Melificent headquarters (aka; the infamous pink room); it is a new beginning, a new chapter. I can’t wait to see what it holds in store for the both of us. Glad you are all here to share it with me.

If you miss me too much (I know it can be difficult – heh), then you can check out my brand spanking new Tumblr account, Melificent Loves. It is going to act as an accessory to this blog, where I can share things that inspire me on a more “quick and dirty” basis. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to start following me on Tumblr if you are a user as well – I love new friends!

Have a fun & safe Memorial Weekend, everyone!

Happy Hump Day: Matthew Fox

tumblr_l2y215P7871qbul8go1_500

It only seemed fitting, you know.

Matthew Fox has always been a favorite of mine ever since my slight obsession with Party of Five in the 90’s, but being a LOSTie (basically the LOSTie) has really made him earn a special place in my heart. Plus, the man is ridiculously good looking (watch out, Zoolander). And aside from being a hottie, he’s a pretty interesting human being. Matthew took up photography while filming the first season of LOST and has some impressive photos, he likes some pretty amazing music, graduated from Columbia University with a degree in economics, is a private pilot, has some pretty killer tattoos and hosts youth football clinics during his time off. Brains, talent and beauty…you really can’t beat that!

See ya in another life, brotha’

tumblr_l2oymtz0831qzh0fto1_500_largeI can’t possibly wrap up 6 years of awesome in one blog post, so I will try my absolute best. I’ve already made it clear on this blog before how much this show has meant to me. I have been there from the very beginning – attending the first ever LOST panel at Comic Con 2004 where they screened the entire pilot months before it aired – until the very end. I have grown so attached to these characters that they feel like my friends; my family. I genuinely care about them and their hardships and victories. So knowing that Sunday was the series finale had my stomach in knots the entire day. I didn’t want to say goodbye to my buddies.

Please be aware that the rest of this post will be full of SPOILERS. Please do not click on the link below if you have not yet seen the finale!

LOST Hangover

tumblr_l2xbts55On1qawxnko1_500

Sorry all, I am still recovering from last night’s LOST finale (is it really over?), so there will be no entries for today. But no worries, tomorrow I’ll be back to tell you all what I thought about it.

For now, I’m just going to let it all sink in.

I will tell you this: I loved it.

Lovable Friday

First off, I’d just like to say that I am so happy with the turnout for both giveaways I’ve hosted the past two weeks. I am especially blown away at the response for yesterday’s Lulu’s contest! I hope to be able to continue to provide more unique and fun giveaways for all of you in the future. I am very proud of where this blog is heading and am not planning on slowing down one bit! So thank you to all my loyal readers, as well as new ones. It makes me infinitely happy to know that I can make others smile with something I have created. :)

1. LOST finale
1. LOST finale

I cannot believe it’s time. I truly think this is the end of an era. LOST changed television. They made it OK for television shows to make its viewers think. TV no longer has to be mindless entertainment. LOST was a very big part of my life from beginning to end and I am terribly sad to see it go. I have grown attached to all the characters as if I personally knew each and every one of them. But at the same time, I am so excited to see the conclusion. How is this all going to end? I have utter and complete faith that Damon and Carlton are going to serve us up a mind-blowing 2.5 hour finale on Sunday night, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to cry. A lot. So keep those tissues handy, fellow LOSTies!
ps; Isn’t Libby one of the greatest underrated characters? I love her.

Happy Hump Day: Kellan Lutz

kellan-lutz-august-man-05

I love Twilight, but I’m not all fangirl-y when it comes to the actors in the films. That is, until I caught a glimpse of Kellan Lutz out of his vamp makeup and without a shirt, naturally. Whew. He is definitely very soft on the eyes. And has a heart of gold. He just recently set up a twitter account that he uses to bring awareness to his favorite charities. Unfortunately, it looks like he, along with Ashley Greene, are holding up the progress of Breaking Dawn as they are refusing to participate unless they are paid $4 million for both (tentative) installments.  Ouch!
