Mutton dressed as lamb? Methinks this is the case, people. The GAYEST video on the internet. Bitch please.

So. Not that I watch a ton of TV but whenever I do turn it on (Departures, Entourage reruns, Carlawood...mmm), I manage to catch one of the new Bodybreak ads and everytime I see one, I'm not sure whether I should scream or throw up.

Body Break...featuring Hal Johnson and Joanne McCloud.

This is one of Canada's best kept worst secrets. Back when these things aired in the late 80s, I already thought these two were old:

In other news, Mariah Carey's released a new music video for Obsessed. I've changed my mind about the song. As with all things La Carey, I can't hate. Though on a deper metaphorical level, I found myself wondering: <gasp> is Mariah Carey obsessed with...herself?

In any case, this video revisits a familiar blueprint:

Mariah Carey - Obsessed

Receipe for a Mariah videosmash:

• Take 4-5 skimpy dresses;
• Add windtunnel or blow dryer for blowing hair effect;
  
• Then give Mariah a chance to play multiple characters/versions of herself.

And voila! You have a crappy music video filled with unintended hilarity.

Do you remember the time when Mariah Carey albums didn't have ridiculously ridiculous album titles? The Emancipation of Mimi? Rainbow? Charmbracelet? Glitter? Sparkle?

Lo and behold, she has a new album coming out in August called Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel.

(sigh)

I am a rabid Mariah Carey fan and I will defend her zany antics and kooky creative largesse to the death. However, that small voice in the back of my head (Celine Dion?) tells me that we're in for another doozy folks.

Here's her new summer single, "Obessed"

Too commercial?

Is her name now Mariah "TI" Carey? Hello, vocoder. Why? WHY?

I keep waiting for Butterfly to fly back into her lifeand will continue to listen to this new stuff in secret while working out at Fitness Girl.

...brings many things to mind. What precisely, well, I leave that up to you.

The trailer for a new movie she's attached to (Precious) is something I had to watch squinting through my fingers. I have a feeling that watching this movie in its entirety would be the cinematic equivilant to eating an entire bag of Cool Ranch Doritos in one sitting. Still, if what we see of La Carey in the trailer is any indication, things are getting better...or are they? You be the judge.

In my opinion, she's taking a risk folks and trust me, she's known for taking ill-advised risks:

Danger, Mariah Carey! DANGER!

On a happier note, follow Mariah on Twitter - she's cooking up a new album yo. Huzzah! http://twitter.com/MariahCarey

Looking for something to do tomorrow? Here's your ticket to the Valley, courtesy of the Centre, Out on Screen and the Vancouver Pride Society:

There is a wonderful event happening Saturday December 6th in Abbotsford BC. LGTB youth and their allies have organised a Social Justice Rally to start at 11:00 a.m. at Abbotsford Community Services.
 
The rally is intended to bring attention to the needs for equality and diversity education (particularly in light of the recent cancellation of Social Justice 12 by the Abbotsford School Board) and to respond to comments that "there are no gays in Abbotsford".

 You can show your support for Abbotsford LGTB people by getting on board the Queer Express!

 In response to an invitation from Fraser Valley Youth Society to the Vancouver LGTB community to come out in support on Saturday; The Centre, Vancouver Pride Society and Out On Screen have joined in a community partnership to make it easy for you to show off your pride and community support.

 Early Saturday December 6th there will be three buses waiting outside The Centre (1170 Bute @ Davie) to take Vancouver area people out to Abbotsford. We will leave at 9:00 a.m. and return to The Centre at 3:00 p.m.

 We will have tonnes of fun on board (think music, think drag queens, think munchies, think community spirit!) and once we get to Abbotsford we will join in the rally to show queer youth of the Fraser Valley that they are not alone.

 If you want to take your own vehicle why not come by The Centre anyway?! We may have some overflow from the buses that you could carpool with and then we will form a Queer Convoy!

 Priscilla Queen of the Desert would be proud!

Later in the evening, you could also check out this.
