Music Monday – P!nk

Even though I am PurpleBrina and I have STRONG hate for the color pink, I do have a STRONG LOVE for the singer P!nk. She is almost the voice of my musical soul. I can relate to her songs on so many levels. I just love how she has always stayed true to who is she. She doesn't care what anyone had to say – she is who she is and she is gonna sing whatever she wants to. And I love that about her. She is real when so many others aren't.

It was really, really hard to pick some of my favorite songs because she has so many that I love. So here is like 17 of my top favorites. Listen to them all or just the ones you know or the one your don't. No matter – enjoy the musical stylings that are P!nk.


Don't Let Me Get Me



What if you could interview John Green, Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort...

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that 'The Fault in Our Stars' tour is coming to several cities around the country to promote the movie. The book was fantastic the movie is slated to be amazing, I mean how could it not Shailene is starring in it as Hazel Grace.

We have been thinking what if we could sit down and talk to the stars and the author and ask them any questions, what would they be, like... 
With the subject matter, Cancer, was the set kept light in between takes?
Had you read the book before getting cast in the role?
What was your reaction to being cast?  
Knowing each other from that other famous movie, {grins} did that help with the connection between you both on set, I mean working so closely with each other not on one, but two movies.  
Shai - What lessons did you if any did you learn from Hazel?
Ansel - Did you take anything away from playing Gus?  

I know if I could sit down with Hazel and Gus what I would want to know, but alas Gus and Hazel are just the characters in this amazing story.

So if you could sit down with Shai, Ansel and of course the amazingly talented writer John what would you want to ask them about the book, or the movie. 

We want to hear from you!

Once Upon A Time - Kansas


“Oh Dorothy, we aren’t in Kansas anymore!” I wasn’t really sure what to expect in tonight’s episode of Once Upon A Time but I wasn’t prepared for this, that’s for sure. This was like a triple whammy and most of it occurred in the last thirty minutes.

If you haven’t seen the episode, here is your SPOILER warning.

We begin with Emma and Regina putting up a protection wall to save the baby as Henry shops for a seaside rental so they can settle down in Storybrooke. Cringing when Emma announced, again, she plans to go back to New York, I did not have high hopes especially when it seemed everyone just played into Zelena’s hands: Emma and Hook, Robin and his men, Regina, Glinda and the sisterhood, and Dorothy stacked up like dominos.

It wasn’t until the second half that things got interesting, Zelena had everything she needed for time travel so she could unravel the disaster of her life but then our heroes arrive. Regina finds her light magic and pushes back at her half-sister – which is very intriguing because when Regina plays hero it is really convenient for her.

Regina also makes a move that surprised me, she picks up Rumple’s blade when he is about to enact his revenge for Neal and stops him. Rumple isn’t real happy about that but she has the blade. Regina gives the blade to Belle and that turns out to be a mistake.
The next time we see Zelena she is in prison where Regina gives her a choice to change her destiny. We know that the Wicked Witch has no intent in doing that but Regina gave it a shot.
Rumple and Belle are reunited and engaged after Belle trusts the Dark One enough to give him the blade. Rumple professes his love and gratitude and plays a sleight of hand trick on his beloved replacing the blade with a copy.
This, was devastating. Here is our other favorite anti-hero getting his happy ever after and he blows it into another realm when he sneaks into the jail cell where Zelena is and stabs her turning her into a statue that crumbles at Rumple’s feet. It appears to be a metaphor for Belle’s love and I don’t see them getting over this soon.
And of course, in true Once Upon A Time traditions, nothing is as it seems and Zelena’s green smoke appears and flies back to finish opening her portal in time. Now we have to wait until next week to see what has been unleashed.


Game Of Thrones Season 4 Episode 5: First Of His Name




A new episode of Game of Thrones debuts tonight on HBO. Last week’s episode had set a new ratings best for the series and got fans talking with a scene that revealed that fate of all those unwanted sons that Crater had been giving to the White Walkers. Will we see more this week, or is that a thread that will be left for later?

Beverly Hills Cop 4: Eddie Murphy to star in 2016 reboot

So Axel F, is going to be coming back to the big screen. Beverly Hills cop is a go? This new installment is going slated to be released in 2016, and is guaranteed to make us laugh. I mean how could it not it's Eddie Murphy as wise cracking Axel Foley bumbling through Beverly Hills or maybe Detroit.

Plot details remain vague but entertainment site Deadline has reported that the Detroit cop will be returning to his roots.

The film has been written by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec, who penned Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told The Hollywood Reporter back in April: "We're going to take Eddie [Murphy] back to Detroit."

Bruckheimer added: "He's going to be in Beverly Hills … so we're going to have some fun with him."

Beverley Hills Cop was originally going return to the small screen with a television series helmed by The Shield creator Shawn Ryan.

The program would follow Foley’s police officer son Aaron, played by Brandon T. Jackson, and it is believed that Murphy would have had a recurring role on the show.

A pilot was made for the series in 2013 and starred Murphy, who also served as executive producer, however network CBS decided not to pick up the show.

This new installment is likely to breathe new life into the franchise and get a new generation of fans humming the catchy theme tune "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer.

The only question left are we going to see Judge Reinhold or John Ashton as his faithful side-kicks. I know we are ready to laugh, are you?
