Welcome to the Tropicana

Today, I thought I would take a quick break from the fast-paced gossip world of today and look back on one of the most remembered tv shows in history, I Love Lucy. Yes, your dear Gossip Guy is a TV Land watching, plot memorizing, enthusiastic, I Love Lucy fan. For those who've never seen it, you don't know what your missing,  with an actually funny joke about every minute, it was one of the first sitcoms on tv. Lucy though, being the one the show revolves around, wasn't the star in the original. Yes, original. I Love Lucy was a flipped remake of the short lived show, My Favorite Husband. Lucy was the level headed wife of a clumst banker, providing many laughs, although only lasting one season as it itself was a remake of a radio comedy, where Lucy played the wife too. Now, it may be a bit cliche, but I myself have an idea for a remake. My Favorite Husband would be remade and put on the air, on CBS by 2014. Now, calm down, I won't be the star, but I've already sub-conciously cast the show. Now ,back to ILL, my favorite episode would absolutely have to be the one when Lucy gets a job at a candy factory, and her only job is to powder the chocolate in sugar and put in a wrapper. Now, as she does this, the conveyor belt in front of her carrying the candy speeds up and before you know it, her and Ethel (her best friend, neighbor, landlord, and her only source of common sense) have mouths full of chocolate and are stuffing their shirts. So, if you've never seen it, see it already!

My Odd Obsession with Death, Hollywood, and my need to take over the world that I can't shake

Why do I like to wander cemetaries? Why do I love Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Gene Kelley, Princess Diana, Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, Aubrey Hepburn, and, suprisingly, Paris Hilton? Why can't I shake the yearning to take over the world and have the world population wait on me hand and foot, fanning me with enormous palm leaves, and buying me anything I desire. I don't know. Some people call me crazy, psychotic, pyro-maniacal, bi-polar, or insane, but its just me. Over time I'm going to reveal the method to my madness, but for today, all I'm going to reveal is this; My one true goal in life, if the world domination thing doesn't work out, is to be famous for nothing, and be treated like royalty. All I Want to be is, quoting one of the people I just talked about, Loved By You. Every single person alive. I want to be a house hold name. Just you watch, one day I'll be smiling from the center of the stage at Grauman's Chinese.
