Guest Blogger review of Harry Potter!!!

My good friend Justin got a chance to see Harry Potter today and offered to write a review for me. Here is Justin's review of Harry Potter....


On Friday ,November 19, 2010 I went to see the first part of the epic finale of Harry Potter. “The Deathly Hollows” clocks in at two hours and thirty five minutes, however it felt like a very short film because of the large-scale action packed scenes and the phenomenal special effects. Having read the legendary books and also seen all the movies I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. This summer I took a trip to the Harry Potter Theme Park at Universal Studios, Florida and got to experience all the great things that go on in the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, After seeing the sets I felt ready for the movie to come out and thought it was well done.
The movie opens up with Hermione Granger A.K.A. Emma Watson being forced to erase her parents memory. After the very moving scene, we follow Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) , Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) around England in their grueling search for Voldemort’s Horocruxes.
David Yates explains the story well in this phenomenon so if you haven’t read the books you should be able to understand, but only if you have seen the other movies.
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows : Part 1 is rated Pg-13 for strong violence and adult themes

Music Video Monday. Raise your Glass!

Listen kids, I know my tastes in music is not your taste in music and I know you are all probably thinking, "Pink? Really Mollie?" But this video spoke to me. Listen to the lyrics, ::So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never never be!
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty
Dirty little freaks
Won't you come on, and come on, and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise Your Glass!::
In light of all the bullying and negative stuff flying around I liked this song for the sheer fact that it's encouraging you to be different and to embrace it. I think it's something we forget about really easily. Everyone is different and if we weren't life would be SO boring. So watch this video, listen to the lyrics and rock out to the catchy beat and know that whatever kind of weird you are, you are not alone. Rock on Pink!

I'm really excited about these movies...

Here are a bunch of movie trailers for movies I am excited about...




Music Video Monday (on a Tuesday)

Ok, I know everyone is sick of Mike Posner but I can't help it, I love him. His shit is catchy. At least it's a new song so it will take you a month before you get sick of it.

Halloween Movies

I am a GIANT Halloween junkie. It's my favorite holiday and I decorate and dress up and drive everyone around me insane with Halloween crap. But of course, I am also deeply into Halloween movies. My top movie is "The Nightmare before Christmas"because I can throw it on and watch it non-stop through till Christmas. It's a bi-holiday film and it's wonderful. I also really love "Hocus Pocus" because I have an odd obsession with the Salem witch trials. The only paper I have ever gotten an A+ on was on the Salem witch trials.

Generally, I lean more to the silly, goofy Halloween movies more then the super scary, gruesome stuff. I first watched "Poltergeist" at age 7 and let's just say, it left an impression. This year I have been eying "Paranormal Activity 2" but I have to admit I never saw the first one. I have seen the "Blair Witch Project" and I laughed through the whole thing. So what are you're favorite Halloween movie? Do you need to be scared or just a little spooked?

Something to make you Smile

Love this video and if you haven't seen it then you can thank me later.

Late Night Music Video Monday!

Alright folks, we are going retro tonight. Why? Because frankly, there are NO good music videos right now. So I picked a good oldie for you. It's upbeat, it's catchy and it talks about booze. Here you go, Enjoy!

Music Video Monday: Hold on to you pantaloons, it's about to get preachy up in here!

Ok, so it's been about 3 weeks since I did a Music Video Monday post and I'll be honest with you, it's because right now music videos suck. So this week I, in honor of this Holiday (This Holiday being the one where we celebrate the stupidity of attempting to get anywhere before the invention of the GPS) I pulled out an old one from Rob Thomas. There is a lot of stuff going on in our world right now. War, mudslides, money issues and a LOT of hate is being tossed around and it's no good. I like this music video because it makes me happy and makes me want to spread that happiness so I present it to you in the hopes that it will put you in a good mood and you will in turn, spread your good mood to others like the swine flu. Have a Happy Monday everyone.


If you think that whole post was too cheesy don't worry. My next post is going to rip apart movie marketing industries. You're gonna laugh.

Give this guy an award please

I know everyone is annoyed by this or doesn't understand it but the bottom line is brilliant. For a year, everyone has been wondering what the hell was going on with Joaquin Phoenix and now we finally know it was all a stunt. Many suspected it was but were unable to confirm it but Casey Affleck spilled the beans to the New York Times. When you think about it, the whole thing is pretty amazing and has done more to market the film then any of the trailers. If you want to actually do something insane and base the award system on talent and believability of an actor while he portrays a role, then I think this guy should get an Oscar.

Music Video Monday

I'm posting this video because I like the song that's sampled. And because I see crap like this and wonder why I'm unemployed and idiots that come up with crap like this aren't...

I've decided that Jon Hamm just needs to be in Everything! (including my pants)

So I missed Music Video Monday because I was out of town. Forgive me. But we all know what takes the cake this week. The opening of the Emmys. Of course I missed the Emmys too because there was no TV where I was. But thanks to Youtube, I have caught myself up and in case you were also out of town or are just a complete loser, here is the best opening of an award show to date. Jon Hamm makes everything better. In fact, I plan to endorse him for President in 2012. Who's with me?

Music Video Monday

Ok, so I'm not crazy about this music video but I am crazy about the song. It's "Secrets" by One Republic. Enjoy!

This is what it looks like when a show jumps the shark...

For those of you who don't know the term, "Jumping the shark" it's the term used to describe when a show has gone too far into the red zone. According to Wikipedia it was a man named Sean J. Connolly who came up with the phrase after the Fonz literally jumped over a shark in a three part "Happy Days" special (video here). This ridiculous act did not end the show but it did kill the show. The shark jump was a sign that things had gone too far, were out of control and the show had just plain lost it's hootspa. Over the years many shows have the one episode that is referred to as the one where they "jumped the shark".  Some would say it was the musical episode of Scrubs. Others would say it was when Desperate Housewives opened their season with a 5 year jump after the last season had ended. From this point on whenever anyone asks me the definition of jumping the shark, I will answer with one word: Fairy.
       There are many people asking Why, today. Why did Alan Ball do this? Why did the writers at HBO write this? Why didn't the powers the be at HBO stop this? We will never know the answer. Perhaps the brilliant Mr. Ball has a plan. A plan that will make this all ok. And if he does then I will forgive him but right now, it's still too fresh. I'm still looking to the heavens and scratching my head. I read the True Blood books (ok, just the first one but whatever) so I knew the basis of what was suppose to happen. But I trusted Alan Ball to take the series and honestly do it better justice then the author of the books did. For a while it seemed that Ball was on the right track. He saved Lafayette from death (that was suppose to be him in the back of that car) and he ignored Vampire Elvis (Oh yes, Elvis was alive and well and had a appetite for house cats) Alan Ball is still my hero for leaving that out. So last week when Sookie awakes from her coma in a fairy version of Bon Temps Cemetery surrounded by tutu clad hippies, I did one of those epic moments of horrible realization where I actually went out loud, "No....no....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY? (insert dramatic sob) WHY!?!" By the time Sunday rolled around I had progressed to the anger stage of my acceptance.  This week when Bill tells Sookie of her true identity (Shes a FAIRY!!!) I simply had a small hallucination where I saw the Fonz, Allen Ball along with Sookie and Bill all jump over a man eating shark while doing one of those human triangle things on water skis. It was quite dramatic, the Fonz waved to me and Alan Ball flipped me off.
   Let me level with you, I'm an un-employed 27 year old chick with an affinity for vampires and junk TV. I will watch just about anything. I might be totally wrong and in the minority on this entire idea and perhaps True Blood has built up such a following that it can withstand the current stupidity it's undergoing but I stand by what I said and when asked I will say it again. And if I ever meet Alan Ball I will tell him the same. Last night was the night True Blood jumped the shark and as far as shark jumping goes it was one hell of a jump.

This movie TERRORFIES me!!!!

I don't swim in the ocean. I haven't since the age of five. I don't even stand in the water at the beach above my knees. When I was five I watched Jaws for the first time and needles to say, it made an impression. So when I saw this trailer, I thought: "Oh yay, I never liked swimming in lakes anyway..." I can't see this movie though truthfully if I was drunk I think it would be hilarious. On second thought, maybe Ill take a chance. But somebody else see it first and tell me if it's really scary. Ok?

Music Video Monday!

I'm not gonna lie to you, I love obnoxious songs. Super obnoxious. I blast it and rock out just to annoy those around me. So when I saw this music video and heard this song I naturally fell in love. Then I put it on loop and blasted it. So now, I share it with you. The band/group/guys call themselves 3OH!3 and they are thoroughly annoying as can be. But I love them anyway. Happy Music Video Monday!

Music Video Monday!!!

Finally on the right day! I saw this yesterday and it's pretty emotionally charged but the song itself in beautiful. I'm sure the video will resonate with a lot of people. Enjoy!

Just cause you're Awesome, have a cupcake!

I know it's been a million years since we handed out a cupcake. But you know what they say about too much of a good thing. Anywho, the cupcake is back and ready for action and this week the cupcake goes to John C. Reilly. You know who he is, he's that guy from that movie that you love but who's name you cannot remember. He is awesome. He makes you laugh and he can make you cry. He sings. He's like a big over grown man-child who you kinda wish was your uncle instead of the guy that is your uncle. We loved him in Talladega Nights and feared him in Gangs of New York (yeah, that was him). He's been around for over 20 years and if there is a god, he'll be around for 20 more. So here's to you Mr. John C. Reilly, I love you. Have a cupcake!

True Blood is completely OUT OF CONTROL!

Oh True Blood, just when I think you're getting good you go and F things up. Since I know someone who reads the books, I know where this season is going and trust me, it's just a giant cluster muck. I had such faith in Alan Ball to take this crappy book series and turn it into something great and right now I find myself wonder a deep question. Is it better to be surprised when a show jumps the shark or to know it's going to happen in advance so you have ample time to say goodbye and grieve? I wish I didn't know where this was going but I do. I won't ruin it for you. Besides, maybe some of you like fairies... oops.

Music Video Monday (on a Tuesday)

Sorry everyone, Shark Week is throwing me off. Anywho, here is a music video I love. Why? Because it's just funny and the song is awesome. Enjoy:

Music Video Monday (on a Wednesday)

Yes, in the future Music video Monday will be on a Monday. But today it's on a Wednesday because it's my blog and I can do that. Each week I will pick a music video and either praise it or bash it horribly. And my dear Drake, today is your day. Drake, who use to be Jimmy on Degrassi and who's real name is Aubrey has this new music video that just baffles me. I'll admit that although I don't like the song it does get stuck in my head the minuet I hear it but I refuse to like this music video. Why? Because I plain just don't understand it. He loves this girl. The girl belongs to a war lord or something. They bone anyway. The war lord finds out. Drake goes, "But I just have to see her one last time." War Lord finds out. Drake gets captured. War lord has girl who slept with Drake pop him in the back of the head. Find Your Love scrolls across screen. I am lost. Was she really in love with Drake or just doing dirty work for the war lord? Is Drake really dead? Was it worth it? So many questions for a song I don't even like. Whatever, watch it and tell me what you think...

Best. News. Ever!!!

For years I have been bitter. Horribly bitter. See, my brother and I both have favorite Disney theme park rides and both those rides were made into movies. My brothers ride was made into 3 movies starring one of the most amazing actors on the planet and my ride was made into a flop starring Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Tillys head. I was bitter. But today the movie gods have smiled upon me and granted my ride a second chance. Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth) announced today at Comic Con that he will be directing a new Hunted Mansion film that won't star Eddie Murphy or the head of someone. Joy.

Blessed be the Title change

I blogged about this movie about a year ago. It was filmed in my neighborhood for 3 weeks and ruined my life. Because of Jason Bateman's tailer being parked on my street, I now have to walk my dog an extra block. But what really bothered me about this movie was the title: The Baster. As in a turkey baster. As in, this chick decided she is done attempting to find a man and decided to do it herself and has a baby with the help of a turkey baster!!!!! You smell that? That's the stench of Hollywood garbage. But anyway, the powers that be were at least smart enough to change the title so when you hear it you don't promptly vomit.  It's been re-titled "The Switch" since the idea is Anistons best friend Bateman switches out the donor sperm for his own (No really, I couldn't make this up.) The result is a little f'd up bundle of joy and a horrible romantic comedy about best friends who realized 10 years after the fact that they are totally in love with each other and have a kid. I have provided a trailer for you in case you doubt my theory about this being horrible beyond description but I think it's gonna be like that chick you slept with in college, if you drink enough it might start to look good. I for one don't think it's worth the hangover. What do you think?

Tons of fun over at JibJab.com!!!

When Wedding Crashers came out one of the promotional things you could do was insert your face onto two main characters in the trailer. It was hilarious! Well, now you can do that on any one of a number of different things over at JibJab.com. Romeo and Juliet or Soul Train. You can even do Irish Step Dance if you feel like it. But by far the most popular at present is Mad Men. You can insert yourself as one of four characters using a picture from your Facebook or computer. I think these things only work if you upload a horrible photo. Here is mine but do yourself a favor and check the site out, this is hours of mindless fun.

Hey look, My friends in a music video!!!

I don't watch American idol, but apparently this chick was on it or something. I have no idea but anyway, she came out with a music video for a really obnoxious song that will no doubt be on the next Jersey Shore sound tack. All I am saying is, I know the back up dancers and I love them. Enjoy!

Oh Kesha...

I like that Kesha's music videos have a theme. And I love that, that theme is randomly waking up in an odd location and singing. Plus you cannot go wrong with an elephant. Ever.

I accidentally fell in love with Ke$ha

I accidentally fell in love Ke$ha after catching her performance on SNL this past Saturday. Of course I had heard her hit "Tic toc" and I really like it. It's one of those songs that is played over and over again on the radio but never becomes annoying (or just hasn't yet). But she sang her new single "Your Love is My Drug" and both the song and the performance were awesome. I tend to judge artists based on their SNL performance and I was skeptical of Ke$ha because she tends to synthesize her voice on a lot of her tracks. I have always thought of synthesizing as a way to mask the fact that your voice sucks but that's not the case with Ke$ha. She has a great voice. I also liked that right before her performance she looks noticeably nervous. I found that very enduring since she is so young but exudes a tough girl exterior. So after hearing "Your Love is my Drug) I hopped on to iTunes and downloaded the entire album and I have to say I am really enjoying it. I am particularly fond of the track "Stephen" and the track "Animal". It's not thinking music which is to say, you put it on and rock out around the house or in the car. I really enjoy it and I hope she sticks around for a while because she seems like a real talent.

I have no title for this..

One of my friends found this and I thought it was hilarious. Mostly because I believe this really happens and I feel sorry for the guys it happens to. But from pain comes awesomeness and someone has taken it and created this wonderful Ad and for that I am thankful. Click on the link and enjoy. Hey, It's me! Every girl ever.  And I would like to take a moment and apologize to guys everywhere, We do have too many candles and we have no intention of every not having them. Sorry.

Hey aren't you the dad from Twilight?

NO! He's not. He is the Mike from the 1998 classic Can't Hardly Wait and I swear that if I hear one more tween hipster ask this question someone will die. I am beyond happy that Peter Facinelli's star is rising. He has been around since 1995 and appeared in dozens of movies/ shows. My heart just breaks a little when a very talented person gets recognized for a absolutely horrible movie. It hurts my heart. He is amazing in Show Times Nurse Jackie. Why can't he get props for that? That is talent. I love Vampires, I really do but it seems that anyone rockin' fangs gets attention and it's sad. Robert Pattinson doesn't shower. He SMELLS. Yeah I said it. You wanna fight me? Bring it! And here is a clip from Can't Hardly Wait:

Did we think this was normal?

Because usually people's skin lightens over time...

Life on the Discovery Channel

I caught a part Life on the Discovery Channel last night. I LOVE these multi-part presentations but when I first heard about life I was confused. Didn't Planet Earth just come out last year? I mean, personally I'll watch hours upon hours of this stuff. I eat it up like candy but not everyone else is a freak like me. To the average viewer this is probably going to come across as the same content in a different package, right? Last night, which is the only night I have seen so far, was not the best night to start watching Life. It a nut shell I watched an hour of bizarre reptilian courting and mating habits. More then once I felt as if I was watching a lizard version of Law and Order SVU because apparently in the reptile Kingdom it's a beat the girl up and take what you want, type of thing. It left me a little scarred to say the least. The production value and amazing action shots are enough for me to give Life a second chance. I also love the production extras they add at the end of eat episode. Two camera men talked about following a Komodo dragon  for seven days as it poisoned, stalked and ultimately took down a buffalo. Life is an eleven part series airing on the Discovery Channel Sundays at 8. For more check out Discovery.com

Wait, WHAT!?!

I check People.com a couple of times a day. They tend to be a step behind everyone else but I still like to check every once and a while because I tend to be 3 steps behind. So today I check the top stories and it's the same as yesterday except for one giant exception. Well, she use to be giant but then she started "working out".  I didn't even realize Star Jones was still famous.

Jessica Simpson and the Price of Beauty

So, I have been seeing ads for this new VH1 show. VH1 has sort of become the home of the cheesy reality TV show but this new show looks like it might be really good. It's called The Price of Beauty and it's basically Jessica Simpson and friends traveling around the world and learning how different cultures define beauty. Of course this is in response to the body criticism Jessica Simpson has been getting but I think it might be one of the best responses ever. You think I'm fat and ugly? Well maybe in Africa I'm equal to a Super model. I like the idea of this show and I hope it's as good as it lets on. I have never really cared much to Jessica Simpson but she has gained point in my book for this mature move in during with body image crap. Check out the trailer and the show premiers tonight at 10!

Best dress and best quote

I love Gabourey Sidibe! I love her acting, I love her face and I love, love, LOVE her confidence. She's big and beautiful and I simply just adore her. I just heard this quote from her from the red carpet and it just makes me love her more. "If fashion was porn, this dress would be the money shot" Well said Gabs, Well said!!!

If your eyes could scream rape...

You know how Avatar was like a feast for your eyes? It was colorful and amazing and just all around visually pleasing. Simple put; it's porn for the eye ball. Lady Gaga's music video for her new (and already disgustingly overplayed) single Telephone is the complete opposite of that. It's sexual assault for the eye ball. It's raw and dirty and dark and leaves your eyes feeling dirty and used. After viewing this video your eyes will need counseling and possibly STD tests. The only good thing to come out of it is that after seeing it, there is no doubt that Gaga is a chick. But my eyes ask, was that knowledge worth the price?  Oh and Beyonce shows up also.

Milkaholic Lindsay

I think it's hilarious that Lindsay is suing E-trade for depicting her in baby form for a commercial. Apparently since her name is Lindsay and the babies name is Lindsay and a "Milkaholic" it must be about her. I love this commercial. I've seen it a bunch of times and I didn't even know the babies name was Lindsay until Lindsay Lohan decided to sue E-Trade for MILLIONS of dollars. She also got fired from that fashion thing she was doing which I can't get into because I have no idea what it is and don't really care enough to google it. Here is the E-trade commercial. It's really cute.

80's Actor Corey Haim dies at 38

Corey Haim is dead. That is not a way to wake up late on a Wednesday, let me tell you. But it's a sad reality this morning when Corey Haim died outside L.A. early this morning. Though details are sketchy right now, what is clear is Haim had a long and public battle with addiction that killed his career.
  Haim became famous from roles like, Lucas and The Lost Boys and many predicted great things for the young star but in recent years had become somewhat of a joke in Hollywood along with his super frenemy Corey Feldmen. The two who met on the set of Lost Boys and had a rocky friendship through the years even starring in a reality TV show The Two Coreys in 2008.

  We have all made jokes about the Coreys and about washed up teen actors turned druggie has been. We find humor in it so we don't have to deal with how tragic it is when talented people get sucked into a hole that robs them of their abilities and sadly sometimes their lives. Out thoughts and prayers should go out to Haims family and hope that his death somehow inspires others to seek help in fighting their addiction. If you are someone you love is fighting addiction do not wait 'till it's too late. http://www.addict-help.com/

Is it just me?

Is it just me or is Mo ‘Nique’s head just a little bit over inflated? I get that she was amazing in Precious and I understand that she has worked so hard for this but all her overly gracious speeches every time she wins an award are starting to make me gag. Want really did it for me was her post win interview which I unfortunately can’t find a video clip of. It was so over the top. All this stuff about how she is not an actress and how she is the first black women since the 1940’s to win for best supporting actress (by the way, your not. Whoopie won for Ghost in the 90’s). It’s just a little to much for me. I have a hard time being all supportive and happy for her when I am sitting here dreading the moment she shows her hairy legs again. Mo ‘Nique needs a self check and some nare.

Some of the Oscar desses we love

Just a few of the great looks that graced the red carpet this year. Did any catch your eye?


The Best (and Worst) of Both Worlds


Sandra Bullock has done the impossible. Her Oscar win for Best Actress last night comes just after her win for Worst Actress at the 2010 Razzies. That’s right, Sandra Bullock is both the Best and the Worst Actress of 2010! That takes a great deal of talent to pull off a double whammy like that, and better yet, She attended BOTH awards. Very few celebs show up in person to collect their Razzie but Bullock did and even posed for a victory shot. Her Oscar win however was much more emotional even gaining tears from her husband, Jessie James.

It’s been a while but we are awarding Sandra Bullock the cupcake of the week for being the best of the worst and the best of the best all in the same year. Congratulations, have a cupcake!

Alice in Wonderland Week is Apon Us.

March 5 is a very important date. It is the release of the latest Tim Burton joint, Alice in Wonderland.Alice will be Burtons 3rd film for Disney and his 7th with good friend Johnny Depp who will play the Mad Hatter. In actuality Alice in Wonderland is a combination of two books in one(Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. This explains why Johnny Depp is all over the movie trailer. Although my love for the Burton/Depp combo runs deep it has proved flawed in the past. 2005s Charlie and the Chocolate factory left many reviewers questioning the similarities between Michael Jackson and Depps portrayal of the eccentric candy man, Willy Wonka.


Burtons Alice in Wonderland dives deeper into the rabbit hole where we not only not only meet the treasured characters through new Burton eyes but watch as Alice is tossed caught between a war between two queenly sisters played by Anne Hathaway and Mrs. Burton to be Helen Bonham Carter.

There is very little doubt in my mind that Burton will deliver an amazing interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. Burton is just the person needed to bring a time-honored classic into the new age. Burton is often accused of going over the top but with a story like this that seems quite impossible.
Alice in Wonderland opens March 5 and to celebrate MolliealaMode is launching our first ever Give Away!!! Leave a comment below with your favorite Tim Burton movie and your name will be entered into the drawing for an Alice in Wonderland gift bag. The bag includes a $20 AMC Gift card, a MolliealaMode T-shirt and button and an Alice in Wonderland domino necklace (or keychain if you’re a dude). The winner will be selected Wednesday March 3. The contest is part of Alice in Wonderland week at MolliealaMode. Keep checking in all week for updates, trivia and Wonderland related give aways!

The Wolfman


The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins, is a legitimate horror film. In the days of over the top gore films like Saw and Hostil, It's nice to see a horror film with that reminds you of the horror films of old. The story is weak but the suspense and build up are perfect and you just cannot go wrong with Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. It is well worth the money and will leave you with chills. Out of 5 Cupcakes, I give it 3 and a half. See it.

The Golden Globes: Get your game face on!


I watch awards shows much like a man watches a sports game. I yell, I sigh in disbelief and I have been known to throw things. I make no apologies because award show season, at least for me, is a sport and tonight is the first game of the season: The Golden Globes. There have been some amazing films and performances this year and tonight we will get a first glimpse of the seasons favorites.

Now I know some actors say that they don’t care about winning or losing but much like a quarter back, the awards one will receive tonight and onward will directly effect their asking price for upcoming films. Especially for actresses such Up in the Air’s Anna Kendrick who’s price has most likely already increased based on praise and good reviews alone. She is nominated for Best supporting and I wouldn’t be surprised if she wins. George Clooney is nominated for Best Actor for the same film. He is up against Jeff Bridges who has gotten rave reviews for his performance in Crazy Heart.

I am thankful that the Golden Globes separates best performance in a Drama and Comedy. This clears the path for Sandra Bullock to take the win for performance in a drama and Meryl Streep to take the win in comedy for Julie & Julia.

As far as TV goes I will be livid if Glee does not win every category it’s nominated in, especially Glee’s Jane Lynch though Chloe Sevigny could give her a run for her money. She kicked in last seasons Big Love. HBO’s Gray Gardens should win for best TV mini series and Jessica Lange should win for her performance in it. Kevin Bacon is, as far as I am concerned a shoe in for Best male performance for Taking Chance. I also think Big Love will win best TV Drama. I doubt HBO is going home empty handed though I do believe Jeremy Piven will again. Edie Falco should win for her performance in Nurse Jackie. And of hopefully this will be NPH’s year for his supporting role in How I met your Mother but he is up against John Lithgow for his performance in this season of Dexter.

I fear is that Avatar will take every category it’s nominated for which I believe is a shame. If you want to talk about special effects and cinematography that’s a different story but overall Avatar is wear in both acting and directing.

So these are my predictions for the Golden Globes which air tonight and will be hosted by Ricky Gervais. I will be twitting through out the awards (from my couch) and I might even video blog so you get a real idea of just how seriously I take this. Let me know what you think.

Vajazzling!

Jennifer Love Hewitt decorates her lady parts. Hewitt admitted on the George Lopez show that after a rough breakup her friend helped her decorate her lower region with Swarovski crystals.  She calls it “Vajazzling”. I have to admit that I love this. Talk about female empowerment. I mean, I’m not about to run out and decorate my V in glitter but I commend anyone else who wants to and I can get why chicks would do it. You get to walk around all day thinking, “My vagina is shiny.” That’s awesome.

2010 The Year of Change


Happy 2010 Everyone! Yes, I know we are two weeks in already but it needed to be said because 2010 is gonna be The Year of The Mollie. We are talking more blog posts, interviews, contests and much much more. Keep reading and leaving comments and feed back and if you see a movie, say something with our new Cupecake rateing system(comming soon). I love your feedback so if I suck, tell me. If you think I don't write about something I should please let me know. We would like to start including book reviews and more movie reviews so if you see something and have a keyboard then let us know. For MolliealaMode 2010 will be a year of growth and cupcakes. Please keep checking back for more fun is to come!

Damn the Man! Have a Cupcake!


The first Cupcake of 2010 goes to none other then Conan O'Brian. C-Dog is getting a raw deal from The Man, (The powers that be at NBC) and he isn't taking it sitting down! O'Brian says that NBC's attempt to push back The Late Show to 12:05 "will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting." And he is probibly right. Conan has go to great great length to keep with between him and the Network and has said nothing attacking Jay Leno. Conan does state that he will leave the show if NBC continues with the push back.


Conan addressed his fans and it was done so testefully. I give him props and I hope NBC re-thinks their plans. In any event, this weeks Cupcake goes to Conan O'Brian for handleing this so well and continuing to rock. I will not accept his apology for his hair though.
