disclaimer: this is the longest livejournal update i ever plan on making. but its funny... i think....today, was the fucking coolest day ever.
Jenn was being stalked by MTV because they wanted her on that "Say what? Kareoke!" show. They kept calling her, and finally she agreed to coming up there today.
So today, at noon, Jenn, her brother Andrew, and myself, all got in the car and got on a train and ended up in New York.
It was, of course, like EVERY SINGLE DAY.. raining. But who cares, right? We kept on trucking to Times Square.
We got there early, were supposed to be there at 5, but we got there at 4:30. So instead of going in really early, we decided to go to a few stores..
that's when everything started going down.. and when I say everything, I MEAN WHOA HO BUDDY! BUCKLE UP CAUSE THIS IS SOME RIDE!!!
( #1 Unbelieveable Story )----
So after that, we went to this little New York store. You know, they're covered with New York Goods. So, we go in, still in AWE of just meeting Kelly Clarkson.
We're laughing and talking about how weird that girl was, with her huge smile. It's kinda sad that she's so crazy. I mean, she used to be a waitress and now she's a smiling, must sign, screaming her songs, freak.
Well, we were back by these paintings that were, well, HOT, and we're looking and I glance next to us to see...
JULIA FUCKIN STILES.I mean, come on.. no way.. two celebrites in one day?!
I tapped Jenn and Andrew and we walked over to Julia and I tapped her shoulder. It was kind of weird because I've never approached a celebrity on the street. I've always wondered, "Oh what if i saw __________ what would I do?"
Well. basically...
( #2 Unbelieveable Story )------
Now we had Julia Stiles with us. Which, hey, not a problem, but you know, MTV might be peeved that we're bringing extra people with us. But Julia told us that "it's ok. I'm Julia Stiles. They let me do this kind of thing."
So whatever, guess we MAY AS WELL believe the big star "julia" and all..
Anyway, we go back to MTV now. And of course, MTV security DID have a problem. Not with Julia, but with JENN. But, after a few minutes, the guy found a piece of paper with her name on it, so we were cleared. Then "Chas" came down and brought us all upstairs.
We then got to see the "inner workings" of one floor of MTV that was empty because it was Saturday. BUT WHATEVER. We kept on truckin!!! Julia bragged the whole way to the room because she's "been on TRL when people were there". What a bitch. I really didn't like her. She was all about Julia and her status at MTV. I told Andrew later to "ditch the bitch" and he said he TRIED but she was talking about marriage or some shit.
When we got in the room, to our surprise, there was a big group of people there, and we were all under the impression that Jenn was going to be the only one showing off her hot act. But, no, there were about.. 6 other girls performing and then random parents/friends there too. ALSO, 2 dancer people that were running the thing.
So, "Chas" hands Jenn a application, and she and I sat on this long couch while Julia and Andrew sat on the floor.
We see this girl, let's call her Chicken Girl. See, while performing, she would walk around like a chicken. Not only that, she wanted everything everyone else had. We saw her perform about five different songs, and all of those songs were songs someone else had performed.. so we didn't like this girl. PLUS, she looked like a slut to the max.
So we're all sitting there, and then, who else walks in but that annoying
LaLa lady.
( #3 Unbelieveable Story )--------------------
Everyone settled then and the rehearsal went on. I was busy writing my list of things to bring to the Civic Tour show. I needed clothes, a toothbrush, and also, Dave Grohl. But where was he?
I tugged on LaLa's shirt to get her attention and said, "Excuse me, Lala, do you know where Dave Grohl is?"
She nodded and said, "Oh Mr. Grohl? Oh he's with the rest of the Food Fighters down at the MTV store meeting Kelly Clarkson."
I looked around and said, "Kelly... Clarkson?"
She nodded and I realized what was going on! Kelly Clarkson was going to kidnap the foo fighters with her crazy smile!!!
( #4 Unbelieveable Story )When we got back to MTV Studios, it was Jenn's turn to perform. She did a great version of No Doubt's "Hella Good." And I have to say, even though she dind't get to go over her song like, a million times and didn't get to work with the dance instructor OR get advice from the other lady, she did the BEST. Maybe I'm biased, but I doubt it. The dance instructor even thought she was one of hte ones that was SUPPOSED to already be on the show. So I think she wow-ed them all.
Now it was Time to go to LA to see Good Charlotte, New Found Glory, MxPx, and the Movielife AND get our customized civic cars...
( #5 Unbelieveable Story )So as it turns out, Kelly Clarkson isn't really crazy, Julia Stiles was just ACTING like she wanted to marry Andrew (but as time went on, she really started feeling something for him, so they're gonna give it a shot), Chicken Girl WASN'T GC's number on fan, We DIDNT win those tickets, or the cars, or the flight, or that passes, LaLa WASN'T on the phone with Ashanti, the Foo Fighters played a long to get kidnapped by Kelly Clarkson...
But on the way home, Jenn's little Beatle was stuffed. I mean YOU try fitting me, jenn, andrew, the foo fighters, adrien brody, ashton kutcher, and julia stiles in that thing. Luckily, the foo fightes volunterred to sit in the trunk.
Yesterday, we went to MTV. Jenn was supposed to be there at five to try out for Say what Kareoke. We got there early, but whatever. We go to the room and there was a lot of other people already in there that knew how to do the stuff. They had pretty much every GC Single on the song list, and she ALMOST did "Girls and Boys" but at the last minute decided on "Hella Good" and "Overprotected" by Britney. We all figured that the other people would leave adn then the people would work with Jenn, however, nope. Jenn didn't get to practice or anything before they recorded her. But she was so good, she wow-ed everyone with only ONE performance... so props to her. We went to Toys R Us, Burger King and some other stores.NyC is dope for the soul.
