Did you miss out on anything interesting this week? Don’t worry, Enzer has
got you covered. Here’s #TheRoundUp
MUSIC SPOT
The American Music Awards (AMAs) versus The MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs):
The AMAs win all day, every day. I enjoyed every minute of the show. The
performances by some of the biggest artists of the year were off the hook and
kept me wanting more. However, Pitbull as host was not a good idea. The AMA
stage was busy and would’ve been fine without Pitbull in the mix. I hope they
don’t have a host/hostess at the next AMAs unless the stage is not as busy as
it was on Sunday night.
Iggy Azalea shined on the night. I’m glad she walked away with awards. She
has had an exceptional year with top charting hits like Fancy featuring Charlie XCX and Black Widow featuring Rita Ora and
hopefully she’ll continue to rule the rap world. She already rules our Hip-Hop/Rap world as she is RECOGNIZED
by the EW Board as Enzer’s Worlds’ Favorite Female Hip-Hop/Rap
Act of 2013/14.
On the other side, I’m still mad
at Snoop Dogg for what he did to Iggy Azalea a few weeks back and I still can’t
believe that Snoop Dogg walked free. When Donald Sterling was “exposed” as a
racist, he got humiliated and yet Snoop Dogg gets to only apologize? Really? If
that was a publicity stunt, WELL DONE.
Australasia in on fire! Bands like Sheppard and 5 Seconds of Summer are
dominating the charts and can be heard on almost every radio station. Another
band worth mentioning is the All-American Band Maroon 5. Their latest album V (Five) is so refreshing, so cool, so
worth it.
HOT ON TV
If you missed out on Satisfaction
on USA Network this year then you are living under a rock on planet
mars. Where are you? This fictional series is MUST SEE TV. It’s simply a classy
portrayal of a troubled marriage that will force you (LOL) to question your
spouse or special friend. Another series to look out for is The Millers on CBS. Sean Hayes has a
lead role in the sitcom this season and (you guessed it!) he is portraying a
gay man, another gay man. I don’t get his character’s purpose or how he fits in
with The Miller Family but perhaps that will be clearer later on.
Which television show is the best at celebrity coverage? It’s too early to
tell but what I can say for sure is that all of them have a home on TV. I like E! News’s style: it’s fun, it’s glossy
and sometimes quirky (good quirky). The hosts speak & dress well and the
set defines elegance. Entertainment
Tonight (ET) is more on the serious side with a more conservative format and
the advantage of having Nancy O’Dell on their team. Nancy is the Queen of Celeb
Coverage and I really hope she keeps doing her thing until the end of day. I
also like the ET set and the new guy
that began co-hosting with Nancy. Thumbs up! I wonder what would happen if she
left ET? Another lifestyle magazine
series to lookout for is Entertainment Week on Sky News UK. Who knew a News channel could be fun? LOL.
The EYE CANDY on the sets of Enzer’s favourite Lifestyle Magazine Series
couldn’t get sweeter. I’m talking about Jesse Giddings, Catt Sadler, Ali
Fedotowsky and Terrence J all on E! News as
well as the King of Sexy himself, Mario Lopez on Extra to name a few. Please keep them on-the-air. Oh, I also like how
the E! News personalities are so comfortable around each other, like really
comfortable, like most likely to be banging each other kinda comfortable. Yes
guys, we see you…
IN THE NEWS
Bill Cosby is still trending. A number of women have spoken out against
Cosby accusing him of rape including supermodel Janice Dickinson. I have a
question for her - why now? She is a very influential and successful woman who
I never expected to keep quiet about such. Her keeping quiet about this will
give Cosby’s camp more reasons to ridicule all these allegations and will send
the wrong message to young girls. However, I am also beginning to believe that
Bill Cosby did in fact abuse all those women. I’ve read a lot about women that
keep quiet about abuse so there’s nothing new. If he’s not going to say
anything anytime soon and if he keeps hiding then he’s guilty.
There’s ongoing protest around the U.S. against the Grand Jury’s decision
to not indict the officer that killed teenager Mike Brown in Ferguson,
Missouri. There are two sides to this story: either Officer Wilson shot at Mike
Brown to protect himself after he felt endangered during the altercation or the
officer shot at Mike Brown without mercy because the teen was African-American.
I’m confused but if I take all the race related issues that America suffers
from into account I’d conclude that Americans need to talk, serious talk.
Still on protests, Hong Kongers are continuing with their Pro-Democracy
protests. One thing I liked about these protests in Hong Kong was the mellow
attitude (well, at least in the beginning). Many, if not all, revolutionary
protests in history were violent. If a population can make it happen without
making noise then I’m there. I was also surprised by how unhappy the people of
Hong Kong, especially the young people, are with their government. Hong Kong is
one of those places that might not be the best but was or is definitely better.
I am all for equality, freedom and universal suffrage so I really hope they get
what they want regardless of what China or The West thinks. Fingers crossed.
