Miss TLC Site Watch
2008-04-24 22:04:00
Former Life & Style Editor-in-Chief Mark Pasetsky runs a sleek and successful site in the relatively new CoverAwards.com. The site itself features commentary and news on magazine covers, newspaper covers and web site home pages from around the world. It is a part of Tecktonik Media, also founded by Pasetsky.Mr. Pasetsky made a name for himself in the media world as a valuable cover judge throughout the years. Creating a cover that will grab the reader's attention away from the countless other covers on the newsstands is hard and often confusing. Is there too much going on? Are your pictures clear and colorful? Do your headlines sound intriguing? Mark knows the game well and his comments are often funny and insightful. Having worked with Mark in the past, I can say without a shadow a doubt that the man is a PR genius. He knows what he's doing, and his advice is valuable. This is a fave destination of Miss TLC and her colleagues because there ARE too many things to look at...

Clinton Is Cuckoo
2008-04-24 21:49:00
From CNN.com...Clinton says she leads in popular vote (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton is arguing that she is ahead of rival Sen. Barack Obama when it comes to the popular vote. If Michigan and Florida are counted, Sen. Hillary Clinton is ahead in the popular vote."I'm very proud that as of today, I have received more votes by the people who have voted than anyone else," Clinton said Wednesday, one day after her decisive win in Pennsylvania.HOWEVERNot so fast, says Obama's campaign. Clinton's count includes her wins in Michigan and Florida, but the Democratic presidential candidates agreed not to campaign in those states because they violated party rules by scheduling their contests too early.Obama didn't even have his name on the Michigan ballot, so he received no votes from that contest. MISS TLC SAYS: In other words, that's like me saying I won the primary held last week in my mother's living room. Oh, Barack and Hil weren't there you say? And their names weren't even ...

My 9th grade boyfriend gave me that same exact bear, and even THEN I knew it was a piece of shit and stored it in my bedroom closet immediately. Why do I think Benji gave it to Paris and she actually thinks it's adorable and makes her look cuter carrying it around? I mean... I guess it makes sense considering her mental aptitude now is pretty much the same as me at 14. What am I saying? I was a helluva lot smarter. I was in advanced placement classes for heaven's sake! :)

A Miss TLC Upcoming Movie Alert
2008-04-24 21:25:00
One of my favorite book series of all time is "Confessions of a Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella. It's probably because I am one myself, but that's a whole 'nuther story. :)Anyway, for a young female who loves to shop, the books are key. They will have you laughing and loving the hapless female lead Becky Bloomwood in no time. Women everywhere are always looking forward to the next chapter in the series of crazy Becky's life (getting married, moving to Manhattan, having a baby, finding her sister, etc.) so I'm sure MANY of you will be thrilled to find out that the movie based on the books is currently in the works and slated to be released on February 13, 2009 in the U.S.Isla Fisher has been chosen to play Becky, and I must say I am pleased with the choice. She seems like a "Becky" to me (a scatterbrained, adorable, sometimes zany, sometimes silly, pretty, young woman). However, there has been quite the backlash from book fans from here to the U.K. You see, Sophie Kinsella...

Save The Environment!
2008-04-24 21:23:00
In honor of Earth Day this week, I am alerting all my environmentally-savvy readers (you better be recycling bitches!) about a very cool online service.Everyone talks about telemarketers and how you can opt to be added to no-call lists and the like, but no one seems to have created a no-mail list yet and that's even sadder. I mean, granted, telemarketers are annoying. However, if you have caller ID (which most people do), you don't answer calls from numbers you don't recognize anyway. But JUNK MAIL is horrendous because not only does it annoy you, but it's also bad for the environment. To think of all that wasted paper is sickening. Credit card offers are one thing (complete out of control ridiculousness if you ask me), but even worse are the countless catalogs we all receive. If you are receiving catalogs from retailers that you frequent (in other words, you actually WANT the catalogs and USE the catalogs), then it's fine. But I for one was at one point receiving close ...

Where Have I Seen You Before?
2008-04-24 21:20:00
The other day, I was flipping through the channels at a friend's house, and stumbled across an old episode of "Diff'rent Strokes". It was the one where the "class bully" came to ask Arnold to watch over his girlfriend when he was leaving town or something, and then the little tramp falls for Arnold instead. What was really CRAZY though was that the bully was Forrest Whitaker! LOL. Check it out below:MISS TLC SAYS: If I was Arnold, I woulda been shook too. It's bad enough having a bully's chick fall for you... but when that bully looks like he is 45 years old and you are 10? It's a problem.

The Ultimate Gossip Girl Post
2008-04-21 18:45:00
I am Blair Waldorf.It may seem like a lot for you to take in at once, but yes, Miss TLC is VERY Blair Waldorf-like. I come off like a bitch (and sometimes act very much like a bitch), but I am a good person inside. I care deeply about my close friends, but I don't always act like it. I am EXTREMELY into clothes, image, status, looking pretty and having the most attractive friends, but I am also very down-to-earth. I find joy in ruining someone (when they deserve it), but I am not above getting my own feelings hurt... well... maybe I am. ;) For the most part, I have acted chaste throughout my life (kissing and dating w/o much else feeling like no one really deserved me), but I definitely have a sexual side (see: "Victor/Victrola" episode). I am sarcastic and harsh, petite and adorable, funny and mean. I am Blair Waldorf.Needless to say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the show "Gossip Girl ". I actually bought the first book years ago when it was released (only because the cover looked interesting)...

A Miss TLC Entertaining Tip...

If you are ever looking for a creative holiday cake to bring to someone's house, check out Whole Foods Market. I know, I know, I praise this place often (it's my mecca of tranquility and healthy eating after all :)), but their bakery area is ALWAYS poppin in an artistic way when the holidays roll around. I know there aren't any traditionally "flashy/kitschy" holidays coming up for a while, but I wanted to make sure you were all prepared in advance. ;)For example, here are just two of the cakes they had on display this past Halloween:MISS TLC SAYS: Now is that creative cuteness or what?

A Note From Miss TLC

Hey loves,Just wanted to shoot you all a note to let you know that I appreciate all the positive feedback on the site, and that we are definitely trying to stay up on the frequent posting so make sure to check back in often. Things have been kinda quiet the past week because we've been working on improving some minor elements of the site.For one, comments are here for your productive utilization, NOT for spam, but as we all know, that is really an unavoidable nuisance in this day and age. Therefore, I wanted to personally go through each and every comment from the past two years and make sure to clear out the garbage so that future readers don't "accidentally" click on something that's a waste of time, or even worse, a virus.Also, I wanted to answer some fan mail, and take the time to clean out Miss TLC's inbox.

Lifetime's Made For TV Movies Starring "The Project Runway Players"
2008-04-08 19:47:00
By now you must've heard that Lifetime has stolen "Project Runway " away from Bravo, and that the next season will debut on the middle-aged women's network in November. As Posh would say, MAY-JA!!! I mean, "Project Runway" was the show that started the reality fame wave for Bravo so you KNOW they are pissed. What are they stuck with now? "Step Up & Dance"?!?!?!?!? [I know, I know. They still have "Top Chef" (which I LOVE), but I wouldn't put it past Lifetime to step in and snatch that one too.] I'm guessing the drama in Lifetime's Made For TV Movies went to their head and started influencing their business decisions. Lifetime is now officially the other woman who actually got their married man boyfriend to leave his wife for her.Either way, I got to thinking what the "Project Runway" cast would look like starring in some of those classic Lifetime films...Heidi Klum & Tim Gunn starring in "She's Too Young":Tim Gunn & Nina Garcia starring in "Too Young To Marry":Michael K...

Hmm. I wonder how many people stage a wedding just so they can knock out the chaplain with their high-setting engagement ring right after they say "I do"???

Star & Buc's New Home
2008-04-08 17:36:00
My brother-in-law just started listening to a new radio station in NYC (what up Carl!) and wanted me to check it out. It's called The Pulse and it's at 87.7 on your FM dial. Apparently, it's dance-oriented, but still very current and mainstream. (To be honest with you, I never ever ever ever listen to the radio except for when I'm in the car, and then I only listen to Shade 45 on satellite.) Lo and behold, this happens to the be the same station that Star and Buc Wild landed at after getting canned at Power 105.1 due to a criminal case involving Star and DJ Envy from Hot 97 (the station that Star was canned from years prior for offending listeners while poking fun at the plane crash that killed pop star Aaliyah). Whew. That was a mouthful. Anyway, Carly Carl gave me the heads up that Star & Buc have been holding down the morning show over at The Pulse, and that the station was pretty good. So I just wanted to give my readers the info.Check out more info about The Pulse 8...

Will Beyonce Go From Knowles To Carter In Less Than 60 Days?

This just in from our friends over at People Magazine...Beyoncé & Jay-Z 'Looked Happy' Getting Marriage LicenseBy Steve Helling and Diane ClehaneOriginally posted Wednesday April 02, 2008 01:05 PM EDTM Beyoncé and Jay-Z arrived at Scarsdale Village Hall shortly after it opened at 9 a.m on Tuesday to get their marriage license. "It was just the two of them," an eyewitness tells PEOPLE. "They were very polite and smiling as they filled out the paperwork. They were holding hands for a while. They looked really happy." Could their happiness be because the longtime couple is finally putting the constant wedding and split rumors to rest? Although a rep for Beyoncé, 26, had no comment and a rep for Jay-Z, 38, could not be reached, the courthouse trip is the first real indication that the pair ? who first started dating in 2002 ? will walk down the aisle. Rumors of a wedding have long followed the couple, and Beyoncé has admitted to thinking about how it would happen. "I don't know when ...

Am I Getting A Rebate Check?

From Yahoo! MarketWatch...Six Reasons You Shouldn't Count on Rebate Check Before It's Cutby Marshall LoebSunday, March 30, 2008provided by MarketWatchMost Americans will soon receive rebate checks from the IRS worth anywhere between $300 to $1,200 or more, and many businesses have already launched marketing campaigns hoping to lure those potential customers.Yet, many folks will not be eligible for a check at all and could end up in a bind if they've already hit the mall and put extra charges on their credit cards, counting on the rebate cash.The global tax firm of Grant Thornton says if you belong to any of the following six categories of taxpayers, you should think twice before charging a purchase with plans to pay it off with that "free" government money. You may not be eligible for a rebate -- or at least not for a full or timely one -- if:1. You owe the tax man money.

Remy Ma Goin' To Jail
2008-03-27 18:03:00
Remy Ma Found Guilty In Shooting Of Friend, Faces Up To 25 Years In Jail By Jayson RodriguezRemy Ma was found guilty on two charges of assault Thursday (March 27) in Manhattan Supreme Court. She faces up to 25 years if convicted on both counts. The rapper, 26, wiped away tears as the verdict was read, then "wailed loudly and sobbed openly" as she left the courtroom in handcuffs, according to The Associated Press. The charges stem from an incident that occurred last July when the rapper and Makeda Barnes-Joseph argued after leaving a mutual acquaintance's birthday party. Remy Ma alleged Barnes-Joseph stole several thousand dollars from her purse that night; Barnes-Joseph was shot after the two struggled in her car. Remy Ma fled the scene in an SUV but crashed nearby. Neither the money nor the weapon have been found. Charges of tampering and gang assault, related to the case, were thrown out, the rapper's attorney, Ivan Fisher, told MTV News on Thursday. Sentencing for the case is sc...
