Jennifer Lawerance: Why Hunger Is Not a Game

Lovelies,

Whilst I've always been one to jump on the bandwagon and pretty much stop by and tell anyone who will listen about my next pop culture cult following, I believe my love for this Hollywood actress stems further than her lead role as (the kick ass) Katniss of Hunger Games.

Sure she won our votes (and a few prestigious industry awards too) for portraying an emotionally challenged girl in Silverlinings Playbook with Bradley Cooper, but that's not my main reason for flying the "I-heart-Jennifer-Lawrence" flag. She recently won a bucket-full of brownie points for rushing off of the red carpet toward a cryingfan, only to comfort her too.  

Most impressively, during a Q&A session with Yahoo! Media, she's spoken about how much scrutiny and pressure is held towards women in society. To be frank, she's irritated, because, well like most instagrammers, she's a full-blown Foodie at heart. 

Now, despite my obsession with clean eating, fitness and general well-being, I'm not exactly a skinny-girl hater, however I'm bloody proud to call myself an advocate for a healthy attitude towards body image. Jennifer is right, growing up a lot of the media coverage did leave me feeling subconsciously rancid, but truth be told I also had a few great magazines which helped me instil a bit of knowledge and confidence in myself as a teenager, so props to you Cosmo body love section, Cleo as well. 

However, times have changed and some girls are thinking Heroine Chic is the style to aspire to. Cue incredible role model Miss J Lawrence to put things into perspective here. 

PS a little something that irritated me was the fact that a quick Google search indicated that rather than including key words from movie titles she had been featured in, people were more interested in her weight, hence the screenshot below. 

Aghhh as horrible as it is, let's ignore Google's suggestions and focus on the message Jennifer is trying to get out, quit abusing yourself by comparing your body to the body of an airbrushed model that probably had a team of experts behind her to assist with everything from a strict diet regime, training schedule, and great lighting. 

Do you agree with Jennifer's "Screw that!" mentality? I know I do. 

Wogarella,

2013 VMA Vault of Awkwardness Continues

Just a few short hours ago celebs were tweeting their way onto the VMA's Red Carpet.

As usual this awards show didn't disappoint, sure there were great performances by the likes of Justin Timberlake, Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga, but there were also a few shudder-worthy moments to add to the VMA Vault of Awkwardness. 

I'm putting it out there, Miley Cyrus needs to get off the "Molly". I've spoken of Miley's weirdish behaviour once before here.

But she's absolutely cracked it this time. A few highlights include the crotch grab, frolicking around stage twerking in front of Robin Thicke's man parts and her very-average live voice (no surprises there right?) 

I actually can't even deal with Taylor Swift’s reaction when her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles took to the stage. The bitter beauty has been captured mouthing off to bestie Selena Gomez, as you do when your ex is within the same vicinity. Every time I look at this gif I’m in stitches! It’s even funnier because Selena is obviously onto the shifty cameraman and is trying to play it cool. Great move Sel, great move!

Just in case Harry didn’t get the kick to his groin the first time around, Taylor also thanked "the person who inspired this song [Styles], because now I have one of these".


A full list of winners can be found here.

Do you think the VMA’s lived up to the hype?

Miley, You Can Stop

Miley Cyrus, I put up with your accent during Hannah Montana because I'm a Disney fan. I loved "The Last Song" because it was based on a Nicholas Sparks novel and featured none other than Liam Hemsworth the babe. In fact, I won't lie, I'm 23 years old and "The Climb" is one of my favourite songs to belt out in the car whilst sitting in Sydney's revolting traffic situation.


But one thing I do not like, is your hair. Soz, I just don’t.

It’s okay though, who am I to judge? You’re obviously going through something traumatic in your life. Or maybe, just like every other woman out there, you just wanted a change.


Regardless, you hair isn’t really why I’m writing this blog. You see your try-hard, wannabe; OTT film clip actually kills my life. The whole Faux Lesbian girl thing has to go. I like that you’re edgy, but if you’re not careful it can lead to tacky.


The song however, couldn’t annoy me if it was on repeat for two weeks. True story, yes I’ve had it on repeat, what of it?! I absolutely ADORE the song. It's the best radio song to come out since Taylor Swift's catchy, yet winey "Weeeee are never, ever, everrrr, getting back together!!"


Enough fan-girling here. What I’m trying to say is, Miley, I understand you're trying to find your feet; I really do, but please stop trying to be a mix of Rihanna and Lady Gags.


I hope you’re not offended. We can totes still ride horses together (at Billy Ray Cyrus’ Ranch) in the summer time, or even sniff some coke if that’s what you’re into these days. **

Are you a fan of slobbering Miley?

Mila Kunis: Hilarious Interview

I've said this before. Mila Kunis is one woman I would happily become friends with. Part of the reason is she can go from looking all average-like in sweatpants, yes actual sweatpants- minus a fake tan and full face of makeup (take note Kimmy K!) to an elegant femme fatale in a stunning Oscar de la Renta gown. 

Personally I think she is so underrated. Mila is petite, has a lovely smile and those big googly eyes make me, a heterosexual woman go absolutely gaga. So you can understand how I felt when I had a conversation with a mate the other day; whereby he confidently assured me he “just doesn't get it.” He doesn't see the light that surrounds Miss.Kunis. I was completely dumbfounded. It's a good thing this conversation was done so via text, because I seriously considered disowning him as my friend.  

My hardcore fandom stems from my brother’s interest in Mila. We’ve rated Mila Kunis as an actress since her That 70s Show days, fell back in love with her after watching Friends with Benefits and laughed along as she strutted her stuff on screen in Ted.


More than Just a Pretty Face 


I think, the most refreshing thing about this Hollywood A-Lister is her personality. No, I don't mean her pleasant speeches which have probably been rehearsed thanks to her publicist. I mean her genuine laughter, sarcastic tone and dead set down to earth charismatic behaviour. As a Mila lover, I won't lie; I've noticed it in interviews with the likes of the "Chatty Man" Alan Carr, as well as with Ellen. But, this interview is a true insight into how effing hilarious she is.  


Weirdo girl-crush aside, watch the video! 

 
PS Mila said she likes beer. 

PPS Mila said she would like to watch a Football Game. 

I'm fairly certain Ashton Kutcher is cheering right about now!

Open Letter to Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift: Marry DateEd Sheeran, why don’t you!

It’s nosecret that I have a BIG LESBIAN CRUSH* on Taylor Swift. I have always admiredher gorgeous looks and witty little remarks. Her YouTube videos are quite thecack! Often people ask me why, I as a Wogarella, who is usually such a homie,and counts Boys To Men and Mariah Carey as music’s finest artists happen to bedrawn to Taylor’s music.

There are a number of contributingfactors. But the most essential one is her ability to write honest, songs. I’mnot talking about “Love Story” or “Never Ever Getting Back Together” here. Thegirl has the ability to tell a story, she captures my emotions with thesincere, sometimes harsh words, which in conjunction with a delightful melody,takes me to another place.

And for a while I’ve beencopping it as a self confessed Swiftie, I don’t care. Maybe Taylor enjoysdating man after man. It’s her choice. I’m not here to stick up for her andsadly her moments of despair and sadness only bring her fans more incrediblesongs. It’s pretty selfless if you ask me!

Anyway, I got to thinking… Is there amale equivalent of T-swizzle? I’m not sure; would you judge these male artistson the quality of their voice? Their live performances, perhaps? Or maybe theircute film clips? I know, I can’t rank them based on their looks. But after muchdeliberation, I believe that Mr Ed Sheeren is the boy version of Taylor.

Funnily enough, they are incrediblytalented, hard working and just downright lovable! They've writtenand released a song together; I've posted it for those of you who havebeen living under a rock.

What did you think? Lovely isn’t it?Easy listening.

If I could write Taylor anopen letter I would say his:

Yo Tswizzle,

Love your guts. I saw youlive in Sydney April 2012. You made my year :)

Just a quick note, quitdating these pretty boy twelvie-type boys. Man up and hook in with the world’smost lovable Ranga! Ed Sheeren.

Oh and P.S. Thanks forinspiring my non-existent love life!

Much love,

Wogarella xx

Could you imagine if Miss.Tay-Tay andEd Sheeren were a couple? I can see them now, living happily ever after withthree lanky, ranga kids roaming the streets of Nashville in summer, andavoiding a bashing in wintery Manchester. All I know is the music would befabulous. Whether they went out for a year, or had an eternal romance.

What do you think? Am I a little tooobsessed? Have I listened to too many Taylor/Ed Sheeran songs back to back?

*That was a Mean Girls quote. Not sofunny when you have to explain it, dummy!
