Lots to Discuss

So I haven't posted in a while but since the last time I posted there has been a lot that has happened in the Brit world, Football/Soccer world, X factor and somethings I am obsessed with.

1. World Cup Qatar 2022
Not only has this World Cup bid had a lot of controversy since it was announce that it would be hosting the World Cup but now more trouble has arisen. For those who don't know the host nation gets an automatic qualification however Qatar has never played in an official World Cup or really have a national team. Also in the summer the weather reaches to high humidity and heat to over 100 degrees which is obviously hard for players to play in. So the FIFA president has suggested to play it in the winter to which I say HELLZ NO!!! Both Arsene Wagner and the German National Team coach have made good points. They have stated that teams would have to rework their whole team schedules to accommodate the WC and in the winter it is the heart of the season. Also when the WC is held in the summer people are out and about watching it outside; no one will go out in freezing 10 degree temperatures to watch the games. Meaning low attendance and could be considered a failed WC. Obviously the FIFA board didn't think this though and should maybe reconsider their suggestion on the host nation although Qatars getting ready already. Bottom Line bad decision and hopefully they will not rework the schedule and make sure the stadiums are all enclosed with air conditioning which hopefully doesn't fail.

2. Footy Roundup
So it was officially announced Roy Hodgson was sacked as Liverpools manager and that Kenny Dalglish will be taking over on an interim basis. I think this is a god move but it worries me to who the next manager for LFC could be for next season. They have already gone though a lot of changes with new management and now a sacked manager. Granted the new management was an improvement and has gotten Liverpool out of the regulation zone but I'm hoping they will get better players. The players Hodgson brought in really have not made an improvement and are not franchise/big name players. So lets hope next year will be better for Liverpool and get to the top again since they have been struggling for two season. On a side note/sad not Stevie G got a red card in todays game vs Man United but I think a 1-0 lost is pretty good since it could have been a knock out.

Now to better news.... Chelsea scored 7-0 in the FA Cup vs Ipswich!!! Finally a score that is decent and higher than 1-0 or a tie. Also it looks like Frank Lampard is back which is great news to help us in the games to come. Two goals in a matter of minutes and a win to hopefully help us maintain our championship title which we won last year during the double.

3. X-factor US confirms another judge
So today it was announced that Will Smith will join the pannel meaning there is one more seat available next to Cheryl and Simon. Now when I heard that Will Smith was going to be a judge I didn't believe it at first especially since he has not released a song since Men in Black at least to my knowledge. I personally do not like the choice especially since I see Will Smith as an actor compared to a musician although we cannot deny the greatness which is the Prince of Bell Air. Since I am not pleased with the decision but will have to deal with it these are the pluses I see from him being a judge. His daughter who is whipping her hair back and forth is in the process of making an album and he is providing her with guidance and caution. Granted Willow Smith is under Jay-Z's label and is respected within the industry, this is just one way he can relate with the other contestants depending on what category he gets. Besides his daughter, Will Smith knows the work that goes into becoming a recording artist. Coming from Philly to try and make it in the business while also doing a television show he can give a realistic view to the contestant. Bottom line when I think of Will Smith I think actor not musician but who doesn't love Mr. Smith

4. Victoria Beckham is pregnant with her 4th child
David announced on his Facebook that he and Victoria are expecting their fourth child in the spring. They do not want to know the sex but we know that Victoria will have a C section due to having the boys the same way. Although I would love for VBecks to have a girl the odds are slightly in favor of a boy considering she has 3 sons. If it was a girl I would be excited especially to see how she would be dressed up and hopefully beat Suri Cruise when it came to fashionable children. Yes, I love Suri Cruise style at the beginning but I am tired of hearing about it and TomKat. No matter what the sex of the baby is it will have an interesting name.

In other baby news Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr finally had their baby. It was a boy but the name has not been announced. So we will have to wait and see.

5. Ryan Gosling on Ellen and Onesies
So Ryan was on Ellen this week and they did the whole interview while riding workout bikes. During the interview Ryan mentioned his new obsession Adult Onesies which he gave his family for Christmas and eventually gave the whole audience them as well as Ellen. Here is the video


Now I have wanted a Onesie for purposes of comfort and a joke. For the last couple of years my friends and I have gone to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and I half joke that I will show up in a onesie. You would also think that when a movie is happening that merchandise would be available everywhere. Wrong! For Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 all I could find, granted cute and a decent Halloween costume was a Where the Wild Things Are Onesie. So I am still on the lookout from my Harry Potter Adult Onesie
