March 9, 2007 Work Your Weekend!

The weekend is upon us, and I know we’re all saying T.G.I.F. We here at lovebscott.com want you to maximize the minimal time off from your everyday responsibilities, so here are our suggestions as to how you can take it up a notch this weekend!

1. Drink This! “Luscious Lychee Martini”

This is B.Scott’s favorite drink, so it has to be classy right? There may be a lot directions for this one, but it’s worth it.

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 cup drained canned lychees (16-20 oz. can)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 oz (3/4 cup) vodka
1 1/2 oz (3 tablespoons) Cointreau

Heat the sugar and water until dissolved, pour into a heatproof bowl and set in ice water, stirring until syrup is cold. Purée lychees and sugar syrup in blender until smooth, pour mixture through a sieve into a martini shaker and discard all pulp. Fill shaker halfway with ice cubes and add lychee purée, vodka, and Cointreau. (If you’re feeling a little less Rachel Ray in the kitchen, shake up lychee liqueur and lychee juice with some vodka, pour and sip!)

2. Watch This! “300

This one should come as no surprise since we’ve been featuring some of the fine male specimens from this movie all week long. In all seriousness, the reviews for this movie say that the acting and cinematography alone are enough to make this one of the best movie of the year. It is an adaptation of the famous graphic novel by Frank Miller (who also wrote Sin City) about a Spartan King who leads his army of 300 to fight the Persians and their massive army of one million soldiers. Don’t miss this one! Refer here should you need a refresher!

3. Wear This! “Go Vacay”

As demonstrated by the Dsquared’s Spring 2007 runway collection, the newest trend for spring is to dress like you’re on summer vacation! (Think Martha’s Vineyard or The Hamptons!). If the weather permits, ladies need to break out your big hats, sunglasses, and strappy sandals! And gentlemen can find comfort in those short shorts and canvas shoes. Think Summer!

I know it’s not practical but it’s fierce!

4. Hear This! Young Love

OMG! I’m so in love with this CD. Young Love is a new electronic/dance band lead by frontman Dan Keyes. Their debut album, Too Young To Fight It, will definitely get you in the party mode. You may recognize their single “Find A New Way” as the theme from the MTV show Dancelife. This CD is just so different from everything else that’s out right now. I’m totally in love!

5. Do This! Breathe

Take a little time to Meditate. I don’t wanna get too hippie or granola on you guys, but taking a small moment to center yourself can really make a big difference. We get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives that sometimes we forget to take a moment and BREATHE! It’s so simple, even a baby can do it!

The Oliver Peoples Spring/Summer 2007 marks the beginning of a directional change in eyewear this season. Moving away from the hugely popular oversized trend, the new frames are smaller and sleeker with a modern perspective on old Hollywood style.” The new collection includes the Moffitt, a 50’s inspired cat eye sunglass, with thick, bold temples and ultra mod styling. Along side the Moffitt in the Spring/Summer collection are Jezebelle, Arabelle, Prentice, and Ingénue which all encompass the smaller size trend. Popular colors for the season are Ivory, Lucite and transparent neutrals, which are available in each of the new frames.

Madonna: Bag Lady You Got Too Much…

…stuff and that’s why you missed your bus! The 48-year-old queen of pop, who we recently confirmed to be part of a major ad campaign for H&M, is pictured leaving her apartment on a frigid morning in New York, clutching a smoking hot Starbucks cup of coffee. Well at least she’s warm, even though she looks like a hot ass mess!

Drop This Bitch!

Rosie O’Donnell has lost her f$%king mind! Today on The View, the entire show was devoted to depression. Rosie has been very vocal about her battle with depression and today she demonstrated one of her home remedies to Battle The Blues. She revealed that when she’s at home and feeling a little down she gets in a “yoga swing” and hangs upside down to increase the seratonin levels in her brain. I’m sure the props department was tempted to loosen a snap or two just to see her take a nosedive into the floor! (One can only dream!)

Newsflash: Rosie, now they have pills for that sort of thing!
See the madness for yourself!

Grey’s Gets Some Green!

Ellen Pompeo can work that quirky little smile of hers all the way to the bank! US Weekly is reporting that the 37-year old actress just struck a deal with producers for $200,000 an episode. (It would have been cheaper to kill her!) Everyone else on the show will be getting $125,000 for each episode. Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh, and Katharine Heigl have yet to solidify their contracts but we’re sure they’re holding out for more money.

Word on the street is that Dr. Homophobe, Isaiah Washington, might have to learn a tough lesson and be stuck with his old salary! I think it serves him right. Hopefully he learned that HATE DON”T PAY! His ass should be happy he still has a job!

I seriously hope all of the contract talks don’t ruin the feel of the show. They should have just stuck together like the guys from Friends and said they all wanted the same salary! What do you think?

Is Ellen Pompeo worth more than her other castmates?

Cynthia Nixon: Unsexy In The City!

***shocked silence***


Unfortunately, the sheer terror inflicted by this still shot of Cynthia Nixon rendered me completely and utterly speechless for at least 2 1/2 minutes! WASN’T SHE ONCE SEXY IN THE CITY? Well, if truth be told, she was definitely the least sexy one, but that happens in every group of female friends. Anyways, she showed up looking frumpy and greasy at the New York Broadway opening of Prelude to a Kiss. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and the show’s creator Candace Bushnell are tsk-tsking over this blatant racism! (And yes, here at lovebscott.com, racism is the proper word for this instance. Please refer here for an explanation.)
