michael is #1

yes, this was a nine-year-olds tribute to the king of pop. a few months ago i picked up my old sticker album from my parents house and was surprised when flipping through that this page existed. actually, not too surprised, i was quite the fan. still am. and yes, a few tears were shed upon his passing.

r.i.p. michael.

pseudo celeb spotting

while we were waiting at the airport to return from jamaica aaron had his first pseudo celeb spotting. about 15 minutes before we were supposed to board the plane, i decided to visit the bathroom. upon my return aaron informs me he just saw that guy from that cooking show walk by. what? who?

"you know, that guy with the crazy hair on that show you watch."

"top chef? richard? from last season?"

"i don't know his name or what season, just that he had the crazy hair."

of course, since aaron probably watched about 10 minutes of the show in passing, i thought for sure he was mistaken. and since we were about to board our plane, i didn't have a chance to chase him down to verify. (somewhat stalkerish i know) well, come to find out aaron was right. i found richard's blog and he was, in fact, doing a red stripe event in kingston the weekend we left. i'll give props to aaron for being a little more observant than i thought. but i guarantee, he wouldn't have known who he was if it wasn't for the hair.

he's baaaaack!

when i was walking by the t.v. today i caught a little snipet of the upcoming season of dr.90210. to my surprise, i saw an all too familiar face pop up on the screen. yes, dr. kirby is back. i did a quick google search and found his official website. oh wait, he has two. his professional and his fan site. i laughed out loud when i read the about section, actually i was amused by the whole site. first of all, i can't believe he has his own line of cosmeceuticals, oh wait, yes i can... gotta jump on that bandwagon. he just finished his d.o. residency and now he knows everything there is to know about skin. i'm sure he was coming up with his line in between appearances on the young and the restless and battle of the network reality stars. second, i like how it doesn't mention anything about being a board certified dermatologist, oh wait he's not. third, why the hell do you have to register to view his so-called fan site? he's not that big a celebrity. even in his own field, most dermatologists have no clue who he is. i must say this, he's kept his name out there, learned how to brand himself, and i'm sure will make a killing when the show airs. hello people. he's not offering you anything you can't get over-the-counter. yeah, i'm a little biased. just a tad.
