The American Music Awards were aired on ABC on Sunday evening and as you know awards shows compose at least a good 40% of my purpose in life. (Or well... maybe 35%.) Therefore of course, I was front and center in front of my television watching for you good readers and therefore, I can also officially tell you all the AMA's sucked... big time. The show was JUST. PLAIN. BORING. Everything pretty much went exactly as I would've expected (something I think should only happen at the Oscars) right down to Justin Bieber sweeping the night with his charming lesbian haircut and all. Anyway, for those of you fortunate enough to have made other plans on Sunday but still would like to know the evening's results, here you go you vultures!:

In other news of the week, while playing a friendly game of basketball on Black Friday, President Obama, was "accidentally" smacked in the face with his opponent's elbow causing injury and subsequently him having to get twelve stitches in his upper lip. Aww, the poor thing! What, do you think I should send him a get well soon card or something? Either way, let's just hope this doesn't diminish his ability to communicate with the Koreans.
In old fart news, folk music legend, Willie Nelson, was arrested for possession of marijuana on Friday morning in Texas on his way to a show in Austin for his tour. He was taken to the Hudsputh County Jail, however soon posted bail. However, I'm still left wondering what he explained to his fans that night when he (at least I'm imagining he did) showed up late to his concert... I'm sure it had to be interesting to say the least. I have funny feeling we've not heard the last about this case. (Does anyone smell the new Lindsay?)
Lastly, this week I present you with a segment of WTF Moments. Michael Brea, a little-known actor most famous for a small role on "Ugly Betty," was taken into custody this week for allegedly murdering his mother. When asked to comment on the case Brea explained that God came to him in a dream and told him that he would die the next day. Then (once he was awake that is) he left his apartment and took the train to Brooklyn because a man was trying to put a curse on him. He says,"I felt like Neo from 'The Matrix.' I began hearing voices and feeling powerful ... They were asking about the difference between mom and mother. It was a sign." Once he reached his mother's house he decided he was going to kill her. While there his mother asked him to pour some water into a pot so she could prepare a chicken and he attacked her with a sword saying that a demon had taken over her soul. He added in the interview,"I was slashing my mom and I heard the police knocking on the door yelling, 'Michael, open up, Michael, open up,' but I knew they wouldn't open the door and stop me because the spirits were protecting me ... I just kept cutting her. No one could stop me. I was doing the work of God." Therefore, I know at least I'm left wondering at this tragedy, WTF? (However it should be noted that the law did catch up with Michal Brea and he has been charged with second degree murder.)
On a much lighter note, I would like to wish everyone a happy belated Thanksgiving and give you something that I'm thankful for. While surfing the web I came across a relatively new song and music video by pop icon, Kylie Minogue, and have been obsessed with it ever since and therefore I'm thankful for Kylie Minogue and at this time want to share wth you all the greatness that is her song "Get Outta My Way."
