@kentology-- Thanks! The jokes write themselves with The Hills.

"I never watch Perez, but if he is the Oprah, than we are in serious trouble."

By watch I mean "read". And by "if he is the Oprah" I mean "if he is the new Oprah." It saved before I could proofread. Sorry!

@paperdoll: She is talented! I actually like her single! I wasn't trying to imply anything to the opposite. Obviously, she wouldn't have even gotten on Oprah if she couldn't sing in the first place. It was more a testament to the immediate bump appearing on her show gives someone. I never watch Perez, but if he is the Oprah, than we are in serious trouble.

Re: the "black female" comment--that came out wrong. It still astounds me that millions of people around the country will stop what they're doing and pick up a book/cd based simply on the recommendation of one person. I didn't mean anything else by it!

Queerty:

1. "A couple of guys laughing and joking around," as you say, is grounds for the phrase "mutual man crush."

2. Did you see Cooper's guns in that v-neck? Totally form-fitting! I wish mine were that big.

3. Cooper hit the deck multiple times trying to deflect a Beckham free kick--no easy task--but he failed. (At least on camera.) Hence "flailing about."

4. If you read what I wrote, I actually said "trademark Beckham right foot," which is correct.
