"Iam so sad about Ben Breedlove. I watched the video he left for the world to see, and him seeing me..."

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:47:29 -0500

“

Iam so sad about Ben Breedlove. I watched the video he left for the world to see, and him seeing me in detail, in his vision really warmed my heart. I broke down, Iam to tears because I hate how life is so unfair. This has really touched my heart in a way I cant describe, this is why I do what I do. Why I write my life, and why I love you all so much. Life is really fucked up sometimes, but I know Ben is at Peace, and I hope he gets a chance to sit and talk with my Dad. We love you Ben. Forever. Thank you for loving me. To Ben’s family, you raised a real hero, he’s definately mine. You have my love.

Scott Mescudi

When I first read about this story, I was sad. I was angry. I was upset. But after seeing the way Kid Cudi has responded to his young fans death, I have to believe that somewhere, Ben Breedlove is so happy, so full of joy, that I can’t be mad, angry or upset anymore.

This is beautiful.

Meet Glee's New Heartthrob!

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:14:19 -0400

@DamianMcginty’s interview with The Huffington Post.

—

Because your character is living with Brittany, you’ve been spending a lot of time with Heather Morris. What has that been like?

Heather is incredible. My very first scene that I ever did on “Glee” was with Heather, and she was just so welcoming. I feel like Heather is the smart version of Brittany. She just has some incredible one-liners. She’s one of the funniest girls I’ve ever met. And of course, she’s gorgeous, so that always helps.

Heather is also an incredible dancer, and I know that you’re not a very good dancer. So has she given you any tips?

She hasn’t yet! But now that you’ve mentioned it to me, I might go onto set tomorrow and ask her for a tip. There hasn’t been a Rory and Brittany scene where she teaches him how to dance. I don’t think that there will be a happy ending to that story. Trust me, I got over the fact a very long time ago that I can’t dance, and I never will be able to dance. I just blame it on Rory now. I say, “Listen guys, Rory can’t dance, so I really can’t show off my true dancing skills.”

You’ve also had a few scary scenes with Naya Rivera, who plays Santana.

Now, Naya, she’s amazing, but she really scares me sometimes. I’ve done a lot of scenes with Naya, and every last one of them is terrifying.

Has anyone in the cast had trouble understanding your accent?

It’s been a pretty smooth ride with my accent, but there is one person who doesn’t quite understand me. I don’t know if she does this on purpose, but it’s pretty funny. Lea literally, after everything I say, will look at me like I have three heads. She just does not understand anything I say. It’s very funny. I think I have to repeat everything twice to Lea. Other than that, it’s been pretty smooth, which I totally didn’t expect.

2. He’s BFFs with Heather Morris — but he’s actually afraid of Naya Rivera
“My very first scene that I ever did on ‘Glee’ was with Heather, and she was just so welcoming. I feel like Heather is the smart version of Brittany. She just has some incredible one-liners.

'American Horror Story' Scoop: Alexandra Breckenridge Talks 'Horror'

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:27:15 -0400

You make a such a great redhead. Were you apprehensive at first? Because red can be kind of tricky to pull off.

It was really shocking at first! Red can be a very restrictive hair color, whereas blondes can really be offered anything. But I’ve grown to really love it. You know, the hair makes it easier to play my character. It gets me into the right mindset and really gives off that vamp-y vibe.

Now, before you made the change, when you were still wholesome and blonde, what attracted you to the role of Moira?

Originally, I just auditioned for it, and I really responded to the role because she was the type of person that I’ve never played before. She’s extremely sexual and a little devious as well, so that was something that I really wanted to explore as an actor. I actually hadn’t read the script before I got the part. They were keeping everything secret.

She seems like one of the more mysterious characters, too. What more can you tell me about her?

It’s particularly hard at this stage to talk about my character. She is a bit of a mystery. Frances Conroy and I obviously play the same person, the maid of the house. She plays the older version, and I play the younger version. Certain people see me, and then there are certain people that see her. It all takes place in present time, so it can get confusing, but that’s what makes it interesting. You’re not sure what’s real or what’s not or what’s happening.

But the two sides you and Frances Conroy play couldn’t be more different, right?

Well we are the same person, but I obviously play the younger version, and I think that people really tend to develop in different ways over time, so even though we play the character very different, we are the same person. There were a few scenes where we had to have similar mannerisms, but ultimately I was doing my own thing.

Is Kourtney Kardashian Over The Reality Cameras?

Thu, 15 Sep 2011 18:02:44 -0400

“I was having a moment yesterday,” said Kardashian. “I was really having a panic attack. When we were driving, it was gridlock traffic, and everywhere I looked, there were just so many people. I was just like, there’s nowhere to go. I need a place to go to take a deep breath. I think it’s especially hard because we’re filming too, so even when I’m in my hotel room — which is where people normally can relax — there’s a million people, and crew everywhere. So it was a tough day yesterday. When every moment is constantly being filmed, it’s hard to relax.”

Kristin Bauer on Pam & Eric's Relationship

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:13:17 -0400

“He really is the one rock in her life — the one person she really loves and would do anything for,” Bauer told The Huffington Post. “She would die for Eric. That’s it for her. He’s her maker. He really is her best friend, her daddy, and they just have such a complicated relationship. And she loves being his lieutenant. She doesn’t want to be first-in-command, so when he’s not there to be her rock, she doesn’t like it. That will definitely come into play when we go into Pam and Eric’s pasts next season.”

But as an actress, Bauer points out, fans are just starting to understand Pam and all of her intricacies as a character — “part vulnerable, part badass” — and season five promises to explore Pam’s origins even further.

Damian & Cameron in LA!

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 10:45:02 -0400

And your life is also changing too. You have to move thousands of miles away from home. Now that you have to find a place in Los Angeles, are those rumors of you and Cameron moving in together true?
That is so true. We’re going to be roommates! The guys at “Glee” are actually trying to set us up with an apartment at the moment. We’re going to be close to Paramount Studios because I don’t drive, and I can’t rent a car here because I’m only 18. It’s so ridiculous. So I’m just going to get a bicycle or something.

So “The Glee Project” winner needs a bicycle to get to work?
Exactly! That’s no joke. I wish I was kidding, but I’m not! So yeah, they’re trying to get an apartment for us, and we’ll plan up until around Christmas time—we’ll see what happens and how both of our careers are going. I don’t want to be a flash in a pan who only gets seven episodes. Obviously, I’m thrilled with seven episodes, of course, but when you get this chance, you don’t want to let it go. I want to grasp this with both hands, and I’m going to work hard.

My dear friend Crystal Bell and I had the lovely opportunity to enjoy a summer day eating at the newly opened gelato shop on University Place and 10th Street.

Amorino Gelato occupies a particularly special place in my heart because not only do they allow you to choose as many flavors as you…

Follow my friend Andy’s blog! He loves dessert—so you’ll obviously love him.

Too late to apologize

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 01:28:34 -0400

Why am I waiting for someone to apologize when I know that said person never will? Perhaps the real question is, why do I give people so many chances? I always end up getting hurt in the end. But in the end, I just need to realize that he’ll never change—and neither will I.

So I guess I’ll keep giving him more chances…

I’ve definitely felt like this.

Space Lion - The Seatbelts

Cowboy Bebop is a soundtrack unlike any other, excelling with it’s eclectic nature and becoming a full blown experience on it’s own. The rhythms enrapture me across exotic soundscapes in a journey through an array of music from sultry jazz to grungy blues to old-school southern rock n’ roll. Space Lion, especially, is an unique experience for me. It’s tender saxophone and worldly chorus channel through me and it cleanses my soul. This is one of my cheer-me-up songs, every time I’m feeling down I play this and within a couple of minutes everything that was rotting inside and all the depressing thoughts I’ve accumulated just wither away into nothingness. I get lost in it’s moving sounds and come out a new man.

“Everything has a beginning and an end. Life is just a cycle of starts and stops. There are ends we don’t desire, but they’re inevitable, we have to face them. It’s what being human is all about.” -Cowboy Bebop
