Johnny Verawas named prom queen at Roosevelt High School in Fresno, California this past weekend.
At the candidates’ speeches Friday in the quad during lunch, Vera, told his classmates, “For me, it’s about more than a crown. It’s about saying to people, ‘Come out and be who you want to be,’ You have to say, ‘I am who I am, and I’m proud of who I am. My spirit will never be down on the floor.’ “
It gets better!
According to The Fresno Bee, “The students cheered and whistled. The girls on Vera’s cheerleading squad got teary-eyed. A boy wearing a pin supporting another queen candidate started the chant: ‘Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!'”
Congratulations Johnny, you are one fabulous and inspiring queen!
New from Ugly Pictures, the creators of Battle of the Album Covers, comes a hard-pumpin set of promo spots for the 2007 VH1 Rock Honors Awards Show. The raw retro stylings of these spots are beautiful and energetic. Each matches the tone of the band it illustrates.
These spots, directed by Ugly Pictures and designed and animated by Matt Smithson and Daniel Oeffinger, are apparently the result of a request from VH1 to recreate their famous “Battle of the Album Covers” animation for the awards show. Well, they’ve definately gone beyond that and taken it to the limit (one more time). The result is an amazingly illustrated 2.5D world that is so well executed it looks as if it exists somewhere between traditional 2d and 3d animation (outside of the realms of AE). Check em’ all out. Genesis, ZZtop, Heart, and Ozzy.
He’s a loser, a drug user and he don’t need no accuser!
That’s cuz Sylvester Stallone is owning up to breaking the law in Australia.
The actor just plead guilty to importing human growth hormone into Australia.
Documents reveal that Stallone had marked the “no” box when asked to declare whether he was bringing in restricted or prohibited goods, “such as medicines, steroids, firearms or any kind of illicit drugs” back in February.
He got caught and now he faces fines of up to $20,000.
Come on….
Did you really think Sly got that big NATURALLY??????
ABC just cancelled George Lopez‘s sitcom without any warning or chance to say “goodbye”, and the comedian’s not happy – especially since his show outperformed two new comedies this year that did get renewed.
In response to this past weekend’s sullen blog, Lily Allen just posted on Monday the following message to her fans:
“Sorry
Current mood: Better
Hi guys , I’m sorry if I worried anyone with the blog I wrote yesterday . I was feeling pretty sorry for myself , I’ve been reading all your comments and they have made me realise there is more to life than being thin ! So thank you . I think I was just having a hard time last week . After reading cheryl tweedys comments branding me a “chick with a dick”. I was feeling pretty low and aswell as that, some of you might know I launched my clothing line for new look last tuesday , and seeing my picture in so many newspapers next to kate moss’ , made me feel grotesque momentarily . I know its a silly way to feel and I am incredibly proud of myself and my achievements over the past year, there are so many good things about my life . I really am incredibly lucky . I guess it shows how much of an effect the media can have on us young ladies . As for the amy winehouse bit , someone sent me a link to a picture blog where there were some paparazzi shots of my brother and I , and there were hundreds of comments from mean sad people , saying I was a fat ugly bitch and how much better amy is than I . Usually I ignore these things , but in my heightened emotional state I let them get the better of me . My mum has come out here to keep me company and I feel much better now , I sha’nt be getting any surgery , instead I will be eating lots of bread and pasta and thinking about what to write about for the next album . I really am touched and was quite surprised at the reaction the blog received and it definitely has restored my faith in humanity .
I know I’ve said bad things about people in the past , though the majority of them have been blown wayyyy out of proportion , but this i mean
Cheryl if you’re reading this , I may not be as pretty as you but at least I write and SING my own songs without the aid of autotune . I must say taking your clothes off , doing sexy dancing and marrying a rich footballer must be very gratifying , your mother must be so proud , stupid bitch .”
