This past week brought the online resurrection of several pop artists after they first died a virtual death, glimpses of Jennifer Lopez as a judge on the upcoming season of American Idol, a not-so-hot chart debut for the Black Eyed Peas’ latest album, Justin Bieber’s one-on-one with Barbara Walters and R. Kelly’s take on a Michael Jackson classic. And just how did our readers react to this giant bowl of pop soup? Read on!
:: Travis was feeling charitable on All Your Favorite Celebrities May Resume Tweeting: “Darnit! I would have rather donated money to the charity to keep the Kardashians and other ‘celebrities’ offline!”
:: Meanwhile, Zuzz deadpanned, “Every time a celebrity tweets a child dies.”
:: KrissyBalls kept things rolling on American Idol Promos Give Us A Preview Of Jennifer Lopez’s Judging Ability: “To me this show is done, if not for its choices of judges, then for the pure fact that the track record of Idols. One reason I WILL be watching the NYC auditions, is because they were held in Jersey City at the Restaurant/Event Space i was married in. For that to be the reason I am tuning in after being such a faithful viewer the past 10 years is pretty pathetic.”
:: Brandon Hall boom boom powed on Susan Boyle Returns To #1 As The Black Eyed Peas Have A Lackluster Debut: “It would have been wise not to over saturate themselves by releasing this album so suddenly after the last wave considering ‘Rock that body’ was a moderate hit just just a few months ago.”
:: Elizabeth, however, offered the dirty bit: “At least the Black Eyed Peas try to be creative. Susan Boyle simply regeritates [sic] other people’s music that been done a hundred times before.”
:: DonneeDarko saw a collaboration in the making on Best Music 2010: Adam Lambert Picks His Favorite Song And Album Of The Year: “I would LOVE to hear them do a duet!!! I loved Sia’s voice on many of the Zero 7 songs and then her first solo single ‘Breathe Me’ which was the final song of the final episode of Six Feet Under. People, you’ve got to listen to Sia. She has one of the most expressive, unique, and beautiful voices of current female popsters. Start with her first album.”
:: KJ thought we were off the wall with Who Did “You Are Not Alone” Better: Michael Jackson Or R. Kelly?: “Are you kidding?? Michael Jackson’s version is so much better, a lot more depth and emotions expressed in his version. I’m a little surprised that’s R. Kelley’s version comes across so flat, almost devoid of emotion – R. Kelly can do much better than this. I do like the intro though.”
:: Rae also sided with the Gloved One: “Sorry to say this, but R. Kelly didn´t write this song. He was accused of plagiarism, and he was found guilty. The song was actually written by a belgian duo, the brothers Eddy and Danny Van Passel, and it used to be called `If We Can Start All Over´ (youtube it, you’ll see). And besides, Michael´s version (eventhough it’s not a contest) is unbeatable.”
:: Max, on the other hand, didn’t find R. Kelly to be a smooth criminal: “I thought R. Kelly’s version was fine, but it can’t compare to Michael’s. And yes, Kelly was found guilty of ripping off the melody, but the lyrics are his. The Belgian tune is an instrumental, and is not nearly as good as either Kelly’s or Michael’s.”
:: COMMENT OF THE WEEK: We really dug Lisa’s re-branding on Watch Justin Bieber’s 10 Most Fascinating People Interview With Barbara Walters: “And Barbara Walters continues her yearly droll of interviewing The 10 People That Have The Largest Publicity Budget But May Or May Not Have Anything Interesting To Say… More Likely That They Don’t, But You’ll Hear About It The Day After Anyway Because Barbara Walters Is A ‘Tradition’ And You’ve Been Trained Since Youth To Believe She’s A Good Journalist When In Fact You Can’t Remember The Last Interesting Interview She Actually Did.” [Brava, Lisa—really has a certain ring to it!]
All this morning, I kept seeing a video of ALF pop up on my Tumblr and Twitter news feeds. Of course, I didn’t click on them because…y’know, ALF…but I totally should have. The video is outtakes from the series ALF in which you can hear the character’s creator and puppeteer, Paul Fusco, entertaining the folks on set by saying some truly offensive things. Serves me right for assuming it was mere needless nostalgia.
The tape was discovered by YouTube user biohazardgraphics who claims he bought it off eBay 10 years ago. He or she posted it on YouTube a year ago where it went without much impact until earlier today when Badtvblog discovered it and brought it to the world’s attention. Hooray! Now we can all enjoy ALF saying the N-word and making filthy come ons to the Tanner’s teenaged daughter!
It’s pretty amazing. But, for my money, the best foul-mouthed outtakes from a dearly missed TV series remains the “dirty takes” from Better Off Ted’s insult episode. Oh. And this, of course.

Youtube makeup guru's have started to spring up everywhere and are rapidly growing in popularity. A few months ago, I stumbled across a delightful Youtube makeup guru when she had just started out aleexandraaxo or Alexandra is a friendly 16 year old who has videos on a variety of subjects. Makeup reviews, hauls, fashion, accessories, and more are the type of videos that you can count on seeing from this Youtube makeup guru. I really enjoy watching aleexandraaxo's videos because she seems very natural and personable behind the camera. It is easy to see why she has already gained over 3,500 subscribers since she started making videos. Alexandra was nice enough to sit down with me and answer some questions that I had for her. Keep reading to find out more about this fabulous Youtube makeup guru.
In true aleexandraaxo fashion, let's get right into it:
How long have you had an interest in makeup?
I would say I have been into makeup for about 4 years, but this past summer my interest definitely grew. However, I have always been the girly type!
What do you hope to gain from being a Youtube makeup guru?
I hope to gain friends. YouTube is a great place to meet new people who share the same interests as you. I also hope to help all women who subscribe to me. I have the most wonderful subscribers and I want nothing more then to help them!
What are 3 things that surprised you when you first started making videos on Youtube?
There a few things that surprised me when I first started making videos. The first one is the number of subscribers I have. I never imagined I would have over 3,500 subscribers. It is still shocking to think about! Next, I would have to say how nice other gurus are. Most people seem sweet on video, but sometimes people aren't as nice as they seem on camera. Not in this case. Every guru I have personally met has been such a doll to me. I respect every single one of them because they are strong, confident women. Lastly, another thing that surprised me is the number of views some of my videos receive! I am no Juicystar07, but I am thankful for having such wonderful subscribers who always tune in to my videos and leave me kind comments.
What inspired you to become a Youtube makup guru?
I know this sounds weird, but I would have to say boredom! Sometimes in the summer you have so much time to kill so I decided to give it a shot. I also started watching JuicyStar07 and AllThatGlitters21 so they pushed me a bit.
What is your stance on the whole companies sending gurus items to review for free? Why do you think that it has become such an issue?
I honestly don't see a problem with being sent free products to review. I think the problem some people see with gurus getting sent free stuff is that they think the gurus aren't giving a honest review. Some people assume the guru is just doing the review solely to get a few new things, but that is usually not the case. I know a few gurus personally and I know how honest they are, but sometimes the viewers don't see it that way.
Have your parents and family always been supportive of your decision to make Youtube videos?
Yes, they have supported me 100% since day one. My whole family thinks it is so cool, and it is comforting to know they are proud of me. My grand mom sometimes watches my videos and I think it is the funniest thing!
If you got to choose three makeup products right now at no cost to you, what would you choose?
Oh man, I have no clue! I really want to try the Mac face and body foundation because I have never had a nice foundation and I hear that it is not too heavy. I also want to try Fix + by Mac. The last thing I would like to try is the Bare Minerals beginner pack with the face products!
What are some overrated makeup or beauty products that you regret purchasing?
I don't really regret buying most products, because I usually don't spend my money on something unless I have researched it a bit, but one product I really don't like is the Tinted Moisturizer by Stilla. It is too thick for me!
What are three tips that you would give girls aspiring to become Youtube makeup gurus?
The first thing I would say to an aspiring guru is be yourself. Yes, it is cheesy, but it is the truth. If you don't let your personality shine through your videos you will not have a fan base! The viewers need to be able to perceive you as a friend or someone they can come to for help. Next, I think having a nice work station set up is a plus. You need to make sure you have good lightening and a nice set up to your videos. Viewers like to see a guru who is put together! Lastly, be polite. It seems easy, but sometimes it isn't. I strongly advise any beginner to refrain from asking an established guru for a shout out. Of course you can ask a guru to give you some tips or check out your channel, but when you ask them to give a shout it is a turn off. You need to gain a following on your own and every girl is capable of doing that!
How do you come up with ideas for contests?
I have no clue how I come up with ideas. Most of my videos are based on requests, but other times I just think of something that I think my viewers might like. For instance, I thought my subscribers would enjoy an Oscar tutorial so I did a Miley Cyrus one and it was a hit!
Do you consider your parents to be strict? Do you get along with them?
No, I do not consider my parents to be strict. They definitely have some rules, but they are in no way strict. I get along with my parents very well. I try to be a good kid :)
How do you feel about having to wear a uniform to school?
I actually like wearing a uniform. I am one of those people who wakes up three minutes before the bus comes. If I had to pick out my own outfit everyday I would be doomed!
What kind of career to you want to have when you grow up?
When I grow up I would like to be involved with the film industry, particularly in editing. I would love to edit films like movies or something. If that fails then I think working at a magazine would be cool. I would be interested in doing the layout of the pages or something! Both would be fabulous.
What hobbies do you have other than makeup and Youtube?
I love to dance. I have been dancing for 11 years and it is something that is so soothing for me. It is a comfort.
Do you have any makeup gurus that are not widely known that you like?
Yes, many wonderful gurus are not well known. I love xeverygirlx, jamielovesmac, and likewoahitsciciyo. There are more that I love too!
What is one makeup product that you could not leave the house without?
Well I can leave the house without any makeup products, but my favorite thing is the Maybelline Define-a-line eyeliner! It works wonders.
Can you apply mascara without opening your mouth?
No! I am working on that because I look so unattractive with my mouth wide open, but it takes practice!
Do not worry about the open mouth mascara application Alexandra. According to a poll that I saw, over half of mascara users cannot do it without opening their mouth and that includes myself! Aleexandraaxo has a natural talent for makeup application and she has a great personality. She is a lot of fun to watch and even though I am 27, I still learn stuff from her.
You can find aleexandraaxo's Youtube makeup guru channel by clicking here. From there, you find links to her twitter, form spring, and even her website. Check out Alexandra today and learn a thing or two about all things makeup and fashion.
Are you a subscriber or fan of Alexandra? Comment below and tell us what you like about her or her favorite video!
