Wrong in all the right ways

I am falling completely in love with P!NK's new single 'Raise your glass' and especially the video for this song. It really is an anthem for everyone who's different and proud of it. I've inserted the video here and just underneath is the chorus of the song - it's stuck in my brain these days, so I had to share:


P!nk - Raise Your Glass (Official Music Video)

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be 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 on and raise your glass


And then this past week Pink also announced that she's pregnant - which of course happened on The Ellen's show (you know the deal, she is "The Ellen" to me, but yes, it was the Ellen DeGeneres). Pink has been on the show many times and Ellen often plays Pink's songs. Generally, both Pink and Ellen speak very highly of each other and seem to have mutial admiration, so it was an obvious choice, but a great one none the less.


Anyway, it's great that Pink is pregnant and I'm sure she'll be a great mom, but - on a more selfish note - this means we won't get to see her on tour the next couple of years *very sad face*
But what is even more erking to me right now, is that fact that her new video suddenly made me realize that she would've been a PERFECT Lisbeth Salander for the US remake of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'. I mean, just look: piercings, mohawk, attitude...


I know Rooney Mara got the part and production has started, but Pink could've given the role the same fierce and believable attitude that Noomi Rapace gave it. I will keep my mind open about Rooney - especially since David Fincher is directing the remake - but Noomi was beyond amazing and will always be Lisbeth Salander to me.

For the record, I have seen Rapace in other roles, and she is always amazing. And according to rumors, she's in talks to star in the 'Alien' prequel, and there's no doubt she will have some equally brilliant roles in her future. And she can be just as cute and beautiful as she is fierce and talented.

Voice of Alice in Paranormal Activity 2?

OH.MY.GOD. I just went to see "Paranormal Activity 2" and for the longest time, I could swear Leisha Hailey (Alice on The L Word, for those who think the name sound familiar, but can't quite place it, LOL) was in the movie. Only her voice though!

Leisha Hailey

I am telling you, the teenage girl in this movie sounded SO much like Leisha that it was freaking me out. Leisha Hailey has a pretty distinct voice, but this girl's voice was a deadringer. She did a good job and looks nothing like Leisha Hailey, but you don't see her at first. Anyway, if you've seen this movie or you do go see it, then please leave a comment here and let me know if I'm the only one hearing Leisha Hailey/Alice Pieszecki's voice.

And if you remotely liked the first "Paranormal Activity" you really need to watch the sequel - which is actually a prequel, and I recommend watching the first one (again) before going to see this movie. It was pretty damn awesome!

Fun gay fact: as soon as the movie ended, I did a Google search for "Paranormal Activity 2 + Leisha Hailey" and while nothing came up about her being in this movie, she DOES have a horror movie coming out. She plays straight, but is the wife of a true gay guy icon: Gale Harold! As in Brian Kinney from Queer As Folk. The movie is called "Fertile Ground". See, sometimes two gay icons CAN make a straight couple good. Even when one of the actors are gay IRL - you hear that, Newsweek? I don't think Gale Harold is gay, though I would love to have him on our team. And he's great as a straight ally, in any case. And brilliant at acting gay. ;o)

Have a GREAT Friday... and go listen to/for Leisha Hailey's voice, would you? ;o)

For your viewing pleasure

Okay, so I finally found the FULL scene with Kristen and Dakota from "The Runaways". The much hyped kiss is actually only the beginning and not only is there an additional kiss, there is also a lot that goes on just outside the frame... which means you get to use your imagination. Always a dangerous thing. Oh yeah, I like it!



You're welcome! :o)
