Kayleigh’s Musings

Have you ever lost your cell phone?  Maybe it’s in your gym bag, on top of the fridge, in between the cushions on the couch, in the pocket of your jeans or lost in the vacuum of your purse.  If no one’s around to call your cell phone to help you locate it, just log on to www.wheresmycellphone.com.  It’s a free service that helps you track down your phone.  You type in your cell number and the service calls your phone with a new, amusing ringtone your phone loaded all by itself.

So did you watch the Michael Jackson Memorial yesterday?  I had it on and watched a lot of it but missed the end.  It was very packed with celebrities and performances.  But at the end Michael’s daughter, Paris, took to they microphone and gave a heartfelt message to her father.  If you didn’t see that click here http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/07/07/paris-jackson-calls-michael-the-best-father-you-can-ever-imagine/ and if tears don’t come to your eyes you’re missing a part of your heart.

How many times have you been on an airplane and totally ignored the safety instructions?  Just for the record I always check where the exits are!  Well, in an effort to get passengers to pay attention Air New Zealand decided to try something different.  They produced a video with 3 flight attendants and a pilot dressed only in full body paint applied to look like their uniforms presenting the safety instructions.  If you’d like to check it out click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Mq9HAE62Y.  Don’t worry, it’s safe for kids to watch!

Kristen Stewart from Twilight has been cast as Joan Jett in the movie The Runaways.  In preparation for filming Kristen chopped her hair.  Check it out here http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2009/06/12/kristen-stewarts-new-hairstyle-love-it-or-hate-it/ and see what you think.  I wonder how that will go over with producers of New Moon!

So what movie are you looking forward to?  Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince opens next month 8 months after it was originally supposed to open.  If you’d like to see the newest trailer click here http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/06/harry-potter-an.html.  I can’t wait for the movie to come out!!  And if you’re a Twilight fan, here’s a clip from New Moon http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/05/new-moon-trai-1.html.  I can’t wait to see this one, either!  Enjoy!!

Britain’s Got Talent continued and Susan Boyle sailed through the semi-finals.  Next week will decide the winner.  If you’d like to see her most recent performance click here http://watching-tv.ew.com/2009/05/susan-boyle-bri.html and you’ll see her sing “Memories” from Cats.  She falters just a bit at the beginning but then regains her footing and finishes strong.

‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ is iconic to baseball.  However, the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council is looking for a new version of the song that includes a reference to hot dogs.  Hot dogs are the #1 food served in major league ball parks and the council feels that hot dogs should be mentioned in the song.  If you have a great idea to include them go to www.hot-dog.org and submit your entry.  Props and costumes are encouraged.  Entries must be received by June 6, 2009.  Winners will be announced at the start of National Hot Dog Month on July 1st.  Winners will be featured in an online video on www.youtube.com/hotdogcouncil.  Several prizes will be awarded including the Grand Prize: 25 pounds of gourmet hot dogs and a $500 gift card to MLB.com to be used for merchandise or game tickets to select teams.  The winner will also receive a souvenir baseball autographed by Hall of Famer Phil Niekro.
