Personal/Sidenote News (Page 11)

I feel like I should say something profound, like, if that was possible. I wanted to create a site you could visit to have fun, shoot the shit, and escape the mundane. I hope that's what I bring.

You all are the reason why I surf the net and post with a frenzy. I also want to send a mushy thank you out to anyone who has: emailed me fan mail, left a comment, sent a friend request on myspace, shown me how to do something with html or css, interviewed me, linked me up, or referenced this site.

It would be a crime if I didn't mention the kindness of Spicy Pants from celebrity smack who blogged for me in early July, allowing me to have a fun vacation! Thank you SO much!!! :)

I also especially wanna thank Snarky!!! We're a fierce team, and I'm honored to work with ya! It's so fun being able to come to your own site and laugh your ass off at something someone else posted. :)

So what's in store for Pop On The Pop this year? I'm hoping to do more interviews and/ or start combining this site with some of the projects I do outside of it. I also hope to do a weekly Grey's Anatomy recap, give away more free swag, and continue talking trash.

With immeasurable gratitude,

Joy A

Today I had my very first radio interview!! And, although I stumbled over my words a few times, I had so much fun. Zander has a great voice and an even better personality! It really means a lot to me that he visits POTP. I wish I could stop being so mushy, but I have issues, and I surrender to said issues, daily and hourly.

My computer was acting a fool, so I wasn't even able to listen to my interview! But you can catch Zander Mondays - Fridays from 2-7pm, Central time. As of now, I'm tentatively scheduled for three segments throughout his daily broadcast.

If you wanna hear the voice behind the bitchy posts, check Zander out at Y94.com! They have a live stream for ya.

Hey all,

My vacation is running overtime so I'm not able to update for a few hours. Thanks for putting up with my skank ass. I've missed blogging!! Isn't that crazy? I thought I would be too busy having fun (and I was) but I was itching to update. And now I'm running a lil behind schedule.

I can't thank you all enough. And I especially wanna thank celebrity smack. Spicy exceeded all my expectations and she would update SOOOOO freakin' early. Gawd, I love her. And I will update for her anytime she wants.

Thank you all for being kind to Spicy!!! :) And thank you for visiting and thank you for (fill in the blank).

During my vacation I was able to hit up all the tourist spots and theme parks and all that other stuff in the LA area thanks to Celebrity Smack and Snarky. I love you both to pieces. And now I gotta end this 'cause I'm a talker and this will seriously be way too damn long (if it isn't already).

Updates are coming within a few hours.

You can have a copy of footage from your favorite airheads, a-holes, and douches all in one free DVD package! Plus, the extras are pretty sweet.

Remember, Joy A usually keeps free shit to herself. Your participation should motivate her to share more often. All you need to do is drop Joy A an email at JoyA@poponthepop.com titled "The Hills DVD" and a winner will be selected at random next week. Have fun!

And what's even better? If you pre-order the Hills season 2 right now, you may get a FREE goody bag valued at $90!! Supplies are limited. Get your free swag while it's available at content.vmtv.com/hills_DVD2/

Comments on this post are closed, ya gotta send in your emails. :)

Hope you all had a good weekend. I'll get to updates ASAP. I'm out of town (on dial up) and I just can't do dial up. It causes me severe trauma.

So just check back a lil later. I'll see ya soon. =)

Hey all.

I'm sure some of you may get annoyed with my ass and stop visiting POTP, but I won't be updating today simply due to the endless tech problems I'm experiencing.

For the past few days my site has been down for hours at a time. I don't want to put you visitors through this drama. I hope these issues will be resolved by Monday. However, I will still be working with Dreamhost (the spawn of Satan) for the next few weeks because that's when my school semester ends and I'll be able to re-post my entries. On the other hand, the tech problems may be coming from Wordpress, not my host. I'm looking into both possibilities.

There's never too much gossip that comes out on Fridays. I will get you guys in the know on Monday. I love you all to itty bitty pieces and please feel free to drop me a line. It just may make me feel better. I'm sure you can imagine how frustrated I am.

Happy Friday!!!!!!

Much luv.

Joy A

UPDATE:I will no longer be working with the spawn of Satan! I will be switching hosts this weekend. Everything should be kewl by Monday, let's keep our fingers crossed. =) Here's some Celebrity Dirt for ya too! =)

Have Fun!! :)

I luv this cheesy "update" pic.Just a few things.

As some of you may have noticed, I don't update throughout the day as frequently on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I'm unable to blog as many posts throughout the day on Tuesdays and Thursdays because I have what I refer to as "a new gig" that I go to on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I've had it for probably almost two months now, but saying the phrase "my new gig" sounds more interesting.

So, please check the site early and late on those days and you'll get your gossip fix no doubt.

* Have fun and HAPPY St. Patrick's Day!!! *

Pop On The Pop is much, much more fun than any of those big-boy celeb gossip sites, and here's one reason why: Joy A (pictured here showing off her lovely eyelids). We ask Joy A our patented 20 Questions to find out what makes her "pop." The answer? Jake Gyllenhaal, being mistaken for Brandy and a unicorn named Magical. Natch.

1. What newspapers do you read?
I don't actually read any newspapers right now, because I'm real busy. But I do glance! Haha. I take a good glance at The LA Times, sometimes USA Today. I also visit news sites.

2. Which ones do you move your lips to while reading?
I think I read too fast for moving my lips simultaneously.

3. Which Web sites are on your favorites bookmark?
As far as celeb gossip goes, I'm a sucker for People's website and TMZ. But some of my fave bloggers are Evil Beet and Seriously? OMG! WTF?.

4. Where do you get your car washed?
Under the clouds, when it rains. Or I'll grab a hose and spray it down. I'm high maintenance.

5. Do you know your dentist's first name?
Oh no! Is that bad?

6. Do you believe newspapers are going to die? If so, when?
There's a lot of media convergence going on right now, but I don't think hard copy newspapers or magazines will ever die. There's just something about turning a page that's kind of fun, or ripping out a pic from a mag and taping it to your wall. Staring at a computer screen just isn't the same.

7. What was the last book you read?
Right now I'm dipping into Democracy Matters by Cornel West. He's a genius.

8. What's the last book you say you read?
Cherry by Mary Karr.

9. If you got a unicorn what would you name it?
Magical.

10. What does your TiVo think about you?
Getting TiVo has been on my 'to do' list forever! But I don't watch that much TV. I listen to it while I'm doing more important things. Then I'll go look at the screen when it sounds like something good just happened and I'm like, dammit! My TiVo would think I should put its service to use by watching more TV.

11. Character of fiction you most resemble?
Susan from Desperate Housewives, 'cause we're both a bit loopy when it comes to the opposite sex. A bit of Karen from Will and Grace. And Anne Hathaway's character in The Devil Wears Prada. We're both driven, and sometimes we just don't know what we're getting into first, but we'll go for it.

12. Who plays you in your bio-pic?
Brandy. I was in a hotel in Florida one day and I went to the bathroom in the lobby. Next thing I heard was a male's voice asking, "Brandy! Can I get your autograph?" I yelled, 'I'm not Brandy!' I was shaken up. He followed me into the bathroom - fans! Brandy and I don't look alike, but being followed tips the scale a bit. I like to think I look like Gabrielle Union.

13. Do you floss?
Sometimes.

14. Did you ever believe your toys come alive when you leave the room? Do you still?
Nah. Sounds fun though.

15. How many old cell phones do you own?
I'll say 'seven!' That number's always interesting, or lucky. Or something like that.

16. Best show legendary biz/movie star encounter.
I refer to this one all the time. But I met Jake Gyllenhaal backstage at a Maroon 5 concert. I think he was filming Jarhead. All I know is, his muscles were bulging from underneath his tee, and his eyes were so incredibly beautiful! Plus, he's unbelievably kind and down to earth.

17. Do you get satellite radio?
I really miss Howard Stern! No, not yet.

18. And as a follow do you "get" satellite radio?
There's obviously a market for it. And, for me, satellite radio sometimes feels like a necessity. Especially when you have a long commute and you're listening to commercials, feeling queasy.

19. Do you read the Enquirer/ InTouch/ Us/ People?
I used to have a subscription to Us magazine. I adore their body analysis pics where they'll take a picture of a couple and they'll say, 'The angle of her neck means she's insecure about their relationship. The way he's bending his back indicates he cheated last week.' Love it!

20. Do you lie about it?
I would bring Us to work with me! National Enquirer and In Touch, I like reading their headlines in the checkout line.
