Taylor in New York I guess more importantly, is she ready to host? Taylor joins a short list of celebrities who have pulled double duty as both the host and the musical guest. Britney, Justin, Beyonce and Paul Simon. Her promos have been relatively funny. They only had to use the Kanye West reference once though I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up during the monologue. The big question is, will...

It’s called Indoda Yejazi Elimnyama...

This blog was recently voted "Blog Least Likely to Inspire Anyone to Enter the Dancing Profession" and I have to say that, although I gave myself the award, the recognition is well-deserved. For three hours each week (including the results show), I plop myself in front of the TV and am reaffirmed that I will never learn how to dance.
