Sexy News = Sexy Blog

I spent the last weekend of 2007 watching The Black Dahlia and The Departed. The common thread between these stories, other than their unpredictability, was they both had some truth to them. This got me thinking, "Why are people still so interested in these stories?" (The Black Dahlia moreso than The Departed since it took place in the 1940s and the Departed's fairly recent.)

Why so interesting? One word ... sexy. In the special features of both movies it was mentioned that these stories were "sexy." The Black Dahlia was sexy. Gangsters are sexy. This got me thinking ... if people respond to sexy stories, maybe sexy news = sexy blog.

Now here's the thing. Different people consider different things to be sexy so take my quiz: Sexy or Not?

(1) Justin Timberlake
(2) Election '08
(3) England
(4) Gossip Girl
(5) Britney Spears
(6) Superbowl
(7) Geeks
(8) 24
(9) Kevin Federline
(10) Umbrellas
(11) Amy Winehouse's beehive and makeup
(12) The 80s
(13) Victoria's Secret
(14) Jamie Lynn Spears
(15) TMZ

Now for my answers ...

(1) JT: Of course ... he did bring it back in '06 making us all LoveStoned

(2) Election '08: one woman vs. many men ... getting hotter!

(3) England ... birthplace of Becks & Sting ... what do you think!

(4) Gossip Girl ... sexiest cast on TV

(5) Britney Spears ... not unless she cleans up her act

(6) The Superbowl reeks of sexy ... sexy footballers, sexy sports fans, sexy commercials, sexy halftime show ... what more could you ask for

(7) Geeks are the sex ... i.e. McLovin

(8) Saving the world in 24 hours is always sexy, especially when the one doing the saving is Kiefer Sutherland

(9) You probably said no for Kevin, but I say yes. He's on One Tree Hill in '08. OTH = Sexy so Kevin = Sexy

(10) Umbrellas = very sexy, especially when being toted by certain pop stars from Barbados

(11) Amy's beehive & makeup ... old school glamour brought into the new millenium ... sexy!

(12) The 80s ... leggings, Flashdance, Dirty Dancing, John Hughes, shoulder pads, neon, I was born ... sexy, duh!

(13) Vicky S ... now that's a no-brainer

(14) Jamie Lynn ... stealing the headlines from your big sis amid a who's the real daddy scandal, now that's never not sexy

(15) TMZ ... home of sexy celeb scandals and the even sexier blonde guy (does anyone know his name???)

Sexy is the new blog!
