"I do love knitting patterns."

Double, bubble, toil and trouble. Someone wicked should be honored!
They wave wands, shout incantations, brew potions, and move from place to place. These, are witches and wizards. They may be green with big noses, or caucasian with long flowing beards and funky hats. Or, they may just look like me or you. But we don't judge by looks. Who is the best witch or wizard of them all? Only YOU can decide.

Nominate the remaining eleven categories here
Vote for Best Vampire here

Rules:

• When the Halloweenie Awards are posted, there is absolutely NO more nominating or voting. It really gets on my nerves to see nominations for the Halloweenies, or comments about who should be an option SIX MONTHS after Halloween. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in merciless picspam.
• No harassing or abusing me, or any other voter. I will gladly alert Mark on the victim's behalf.
• Do not comment on a poll telling me who I should've put in the poll. If you really thought they should've been in the poll, you should've nominated them, huh? I will mercilessly picspam you if you do decide to tell me this. Keep doing so, and I will delete all your comments. And if you keep doing so after that? I may just block you.
• Please try not vote/nominate based on looks. This isn't so much a rule, but a request. But if I see a nomination reading "Edward Cullen, because he is hot", then your nomination is immediately disqualified. If you put "Edward Cullen because he can break a tree in half", I'll consider it.
• I have no control over nominations or winners. If Edward Cullen is a nominee for Best Vampire, believe me, I did not put him here because I think he's hot, I didn't even put him there to keep up a neutral image. I put him there because people told me that he was a good vampire.

Vampirism is an art form. When done well, it is an exceedingly gorey one. Some find them "hawt", and others find them "terrifying". Either way, they are still bloodthirsty predators, who live forever. So, who is the best of the best? Only you can decide.

Let's pretend for a moment that this isn't a celebrity child, but just a regular three-year-old wearing high heels.

How do you feel about this? Do you think it's just normal dress-up, or is it a step in bad development for the child, and will cause her terrible problems with balance?
Lemme hear what you think.

I have more movies listed as possible for Nostalgia Movie Monday then I have available. This means you get even more control over what I review!
Simple: Choose which movie you do NOT want me to review the most out of these. So, here we go.
(Yeah, I know the majority of them are Disney. I couldn't think of any other Christmas films beside this, so...)

With the 2009 VMAs coming up, it's time to recap last year's Video Music Awards, and vote on which moment was the best. Was it Britney Spears' major win? Jordin Sparks' major fail? Or Russell Brand reading his hatemail from the VMAs? You decide!

Now, not only does Perez Hilton have a record label, but he now is launching a music festival.
What makes Perez Hilton so knowledge-able about musical acts? He apparently launched the careers of Katy Perry and Lady GaGa. But I first heard of Lady GaGa on an episode of The Hills and I first heard of Katy Perry on FriendsorEnemies.com I hardly knew of any connections with Perez Hilton from these two until he bragged about it. MTV launched Katy Perry's career. Z100 launched Lady GaGa's career. Nice try, Perez.

Of course, this is just my opinion, but I'm leaving this up to you, the voters: Is Perez Hilton really as much of an A & R as he thinks he is?

A "concerned parent" noticed a lot of drinking in the latest Harry Potter movie. I can't really remember Neville serving drinks, but it must've been at the Slug Club Christmas Party. He could have been serving grape juice or ginger ale.

Personally, I think this woman is exaggerating. "Scene after scene" is more like three bit parts where Hermione is tipsy, until Katie Bell is cursed by the necklace, and then becomes dead sober in a matter of two seconds. Also, children could definitely overlook any drinking when the wizarding world is at war, and our three heroes are falling in love.

I'll leave the ultimate decision up to you: Is the drinking in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince going to affect younger generations?

So, Anna Sui is doing a collaboration with Target for a line. Not the cool part yet. The line is going to be inspired by the characters of Gossip Girl. This is the cool part. *Allows a minute of squealing* The uncool part? This line will be available in 250 select Target stores from September 13 to October 17. That's a little over a month. Yeah, I know. Not cool.

But the big question is, whose style do you want to channel? Vanessa, Serena, Little J or Blair?

UPDATE! 7/13/09 Target has pulled out on the deal. Shame.

So, I'm feeling a creative block. I can't think of anything good to do for Buzznet. So, vote for which Direct-to-Home-Video Disney animated feature you would like me to review. This would be the Part 2.
Film disqualified: The Lion King 1 1/2. I already reviewed it. I just can't seem to find it.

A comment over at this post on Just Jared Jr saying, and I quote "Just wait til Miley leaves Disney, then it will be officially over for them."

Even though the Disney company has survived a lot, like the death of founder Walt Disney, some major flops and disappointments, Roy E. Disney speaking out against the company twice, that brief period with Michael Eisner, and accusations of being the anti-christ, it still has four theme parks, a chain of stores,successful movies, and craploads of merchandise still selling.
The whole point of the Disney company is childhood wonder, and I guess you really can't get high schoolers singing and not giving out swirleys in the real world.

Of course, Miley isn't original, at all. When Hilary Duff was a little teenaged girl, she had the privelege of her face being stuck on everything for the sake of merchandise. And she did leave Disney, and Disney Channel did well.

So you tell me. Could this commenter be correct? Or is she out of his/her mind? You tell me!
