Good Life be with ya’ll, Universe!
Writing (in steps, because this is gonna be frigging LONG!) enjoying some caressing Cali Sun (in the desert, in LA, and at airports if my ideas for chances to develop this post coherently actually will take place as planned), I am back at ya to wrap it up this masterful 2013.
Because it has indeed been QUITE a Year, don’t you think?
I know I know… I’ve been MIA most of the Year from these pages, and in fact I have written over this blog almost… never during the Year which is gonna end soon.
But I had warned you: time is not my blogging friend luxury anymore, and practically all that I find “bloggable” about myself comes finely through Twitter and Instagram anyway (hello, followers!), in such a fitting way I never feel like I lack other writing outlets.
I practically gave up on Tumblr too, for the time being, because it was just pointless to find time for it when those two accounts aforementioned sum up pics&words already, and very well.
I am aging, I am a 28 years old and to be frank is not like I believe blogging is such a cool thing anymore, with all the things that are going on with my life.
I would never take any time off from my life to find a space to blog these days, let’s put it this way.
Of course if our plans for a baby go well (K&I are testing waters a lot… and with pleasure and fun 😉 ) this blog may just change its purpose and become something like THIS (courtesy of former Adam’s love Kelly McKee) ( without all the personal pics of course, because you know K&I abhor those fiercely), but for now it stays up just a s a space that I may fulfill just when I please to.
And this “when/if”, it’s clear by now, is a very rare moment in time.
But surely there have been tons of awesome occurrences in this blessed 2013 tho, something that I have put my writing onto already and profusely over Twitter and Instagram. In a rush, the firsts that come to mind have been:
1) Pope Francis’ everything existence;
2) Berlusconi’s condemnation;
3) my frigging perfect family life (this would well be the first position, but I am trying to learn how to be humble);
4) Traveling and discovering the Far East;
5) Working achievements;
6) Life long friends’ marriage(s);
7) Realizing I am far more blessed than I could have asked for;
8) The fact I keep marvel at so many things, thus my love for life only grows wider as I grow older.
9) My crew(s) which give me always the best love and support and which I couldn’t live without;
10) A lover who is my absolute best counterpart, and mirror, and everything (and THIS values like for ten spots multiplied by ten)
There Have also been not so great things around this Year of course, like:
1) Tragedies of entire Countries gone to waste due to economical and political struggles;
2) Notable deaths that have hurt my heart, soul and spirit;
3) Realizing I am starting to have to plan how to spend my energies better, because I am starting to feel less super charged than I used to (and believe me, it hurts my pride A LOT);
4) Understanding that being based both in Italy and USA sometimes is a huge task that causes family friction, and even tho nobody puts any pressure either on myself, or Karim, we have to get used to accommodate to many and many wishes, which reduces our completely free spare time (otherwise called: organizing maturity downsides), and that sometimes affects my mood, albeit not for long, or not too deeply.
5) This 2013 has been a truly sucky sporty year (Milan, Lakers… my dearest Kobe’s injuries… a friggin NIGHTMARE I tell you).
Well, at least still for the Year that is soon ending the pros outweighs the cons by a double size so it’s clear I have in fact no complaints about this 2013.
And I am practicing (the best I can) some true Zen approach to life so I can still focus only on the good anyway.
I look forward to a wondrous 2014 and I am SURE that will also bring the most expected family news (I know, I have not to be stubborn on this or it won’t come… but you get me… ;))
*feeling maternal a lot*.
So why I am here, if not only to wish everybody a “Happy End and Happy Start”?
Well, as we get ready to move from California to… The very beginning of the Earth (but down under) for New Years’ Eve celebration, I have to clear off like 800 and plus posts I have been getting for 6 months, and videos for more than 12 hours, which mirrored my music passion & related stuff since July of this now ending Year.
Yeah, basically I have come logging into on the blog to make a mega post encompassing all of this material so nobody of my freaky friends (they, not me) will give me hell because “ehi!!! I sent you material and you never published it! So long for being a good friend right?” type of extortion (yeah. I have grown up friends in my crew who STILL do and talk like this. ;)).
Many of the videos have actually been already published in the NAWWAL pages, but not all the mega video collages with pictures (and those are over 6 hours) and never many of Behati’s related videos actually, because NAWWAL focuse on Maroon5 and Adam and I try to keep the working of the guys separated from their private lives.
So let’s try to recollect memories linked to this side of my lovingly world once more (it’s a luxury I give you) and patch a kiss over my disappointed Maroon 5 adoring crew people (Marghe, Serena, Teo and Lea being the cheerleaders for this request).
Are you ready?
It’s gonna be REALLY long (I will try to keep it as synthetic as possible but 6 months can’t be really shortened that much).
My last post was about how happy and shocked (and HAPPYYYYYYYY!!!!) I was when the unexpected news of Adam and Behati engagement broke by the middle of July.
I still beam in joy recalling how it felt: I never thought anybody was as fitting as Bee to share his unique life, and the more these two show (better: the more they AVOID to show, like real couple must) about themselves, the more I feel Behati + Adam is THE ULTIMATE perfect couple match EVER in Hwood.
EVER.
They are so much alike it’s incredible.
They are laid back, honest and true; they hate being posers, and they would NEVER change the way they intimately are for the sake of publicity or (yikes) to fakely please the “public” (public which honestly doesn’t even deserve them, as they ask just to be entertained by puppets, and Adam, as well as Behati, is the farthest thing I know from a biz puppy, hence the way he gets in trouble for voicing his strong liberal beliefs, or his strong molded visions about art and or music or anything else).
But you all know this already.
Will they last forever? Who knows… odds in Hwood are never in favor of the “forever” but one thing is for sure: if Adam, who has always believed he would never marry, has GOTTTEN BACK to Behati after trying to escape from her, it means FOR SURE he believes SHE IS THE ONE, and he will do anything he can to make this one his ONLY marriage; then Bee obviously feels he is the one too, because who else would have endured in letting him go and free to bang whoever, confident true love would have prevailed at last, and Adam would have gotten back to her, and with a proposal? Only true love makes these steps Adam and Behati took with one another.
And this for me is awesome, and just so romantic and amazing…
I adore A&B, and I just can’t wait for their perfect children to bless this world.
The true perfection will come as they will be parenting future world royalty.
And they will 🙂
Back to the memory trail now: take this first mash up video to recollect some piece first:
Adam and Behati news broke the outlets, causing commotions and the usual inaccurate reports (no, Adam didn’t break with anybody by text AT ALL… this is just some PR trying to exploit his status to make some not relevant people known through his name… a move we have already seen by many others, similarly sad losers).
The fact is that Adam instantly gives ANYBODY relevancy; so when you add to his status (massive by any standard, and destined to grow even more when he will add “movie actor” to the resume) to a Victoria’s Secret CERTIFIED Angel since 2009 – VS spokeperson since 2007 – what you get is a super sized Power Couple which any media outlet will try to exploit, in ANY Country, not merely the US.
In Italy the news broke straight, too, and so it did all over Europe.
Guess we have to get used to this, but what I love is that Adam and Behati keep being as reserved as possible, unlike many famewhores around, which I despise (and they despise too, hence their couple behavior) and whom I am so happy Adam never got back with, and never ever had any regret over.
I laughed endlessly about the fact as soon as the news broke of his engagements, the usual losers&haters of Behati stepped in claiming an array of absurdities, like:
1) she must be pregnant;
2) it’s a stunt;
3) he’s faking it;
and alter mean lies, ranging from the fact she would be a druggie, to the fact she blackmailed him into something he didn’t want (yeah… sure, lol).
Hilarious because the only reason OBVIOUS of the engagement in all of Adam’s entourage and family was CLEARLY love; and in fact, a HUGE, unmissable one.
He tried to move on: he failed because REAL LOVE only comes rarely and he was not stupid to let his soulmate go.
Adam has been in TONS of relationships, and has been with girls either for a few months, and then with some for 2 YEARS (Kelly, Rebecca, Anne all had him for multiple years, even if only Kelly and Rebecca actually spent that time with him, the latter of the list was almost never with Adam in those 21 months together, so it’s almost like only Kelly and Rebecca had Adam for yearly times anyway); and if he felt with Behati she was the one, so much he couldn’t avoid even to marry her, this speaks louder than any other thing.
As simple as that.
In fact, to get engaged for him is not even a good career move, because his following is also made by obsessive creepy middle aged stalker housewives who have little clues about his real personality and he would sell better to those boring types without being married – especially to some very hot slim and successful young model; so why he decided to do something which is not really his best PR option, even more considering Adam and Behati love to be COMPLETELY private about their life, to protect their well being and their real feelings from intrusive nobodies?
Simply: he did because HE LOVES BEHATI LIKE HE NEVER LOVED ANYBODY ELSE.
Only stupid people, clearly not bright, can think differently on the matter.
And they will keep on hating Behati, calling her the worst names, spreading the worst lies, all because they simply cannot accept a truth they refuse.
Poor souls.
Adam and Behati care nothing about these losers anyway, and it’s rightly so.
Basically anyone can spread a lie about someone successful, make it mildly “self evident” as to whom that looks to be referred about, and enjoy the plus of fake gossiping spreading, without the actual risk of being confronted (or sued) for it.
Adam had already to face fake gossips in times when he was only moderately famous, when he said he would sue a magazine claiming he offended Maria Sharapova calling her “dead frog in bed”, while he never said such things at all; the magazine retreated, but still to today nobody knows about the falsity of that statement, and only recall the first launch of the fake news.
Now that Adam is worldwide uber famous, his position is even more delicate; and his haters even more hard-weaponed in falsity against him, hoping to make some damage in his perfectly conducted career.
Behati is in the middle of this “popularity war” and supports her lover, by that taking herself also a very unfair share of fakers, losers, haters and lies on her shoulders.
There is a reason Adam hates Internet for most part, and the evilness of its worst connections: he doesn’t trust people and he doesn’t acknowledges them unless they are introduced by real friends of him; this is his nature… he’s kind of an overprotective snob, but he is because of a series of experiences and by his life background as a wealthy kid growing in LA.
Nothing is going to change him and he won’t fake either a proximity with strangers he just cannot bear.
Don’t expect him to get back being more active online anytime soon (in fact, expect a faster decrease as his family will grow larger): he doesn’t like nor respect any of the people who are aggressive and mean towards his beloved ones and Adam is a person who NEVER forgets and NEVER forgives, this is a very well known thing in Hwood, so there is no way he will get more social now that he knows people bad-mouth his adored fiancée daily.
He’s lucky that Bee shares his same views on the matter of lies and fakes and social media engagement, and that they give one another much strength.
There are lot of people who are envious of this couple because of their status, which multiplies since they have gotten back together.
I guess it’s also easier to hate instead of supporting because it takes someone brained to understand facts rather than simply dismiss them without accepting their impact and realness: but again they don’t care and also they are well aware of the meanies, and probably have fun at their backs anytime they check Behati’s Instagram or Twitter mentions (and Adam may not be social-media savvy, but Bee sure is, so for sure she has acknowledged those who hate on her, no matter if they are trying to hide their conversations from her – that never works).
There will be more later on about how amazingly tight and incredible is the bond between Adam and Bee; I love how she speaks through songs, I always have, and the interview she has given to Los Angeles Times about her This Here Very moment capsule collection confirms she is the perfect soulmate of musically inclined Adam.
She has given notes about Lykke Li’s song “I Follow Rivers” which speak volumes, VOLUMES about how in love she has always been with Adam, and how deeply she connects with his very complicated soul.
But more on this later… 😉
Of course Behati’s name got out more since they got engaged… but she is NEVER the one pushing for it; she can’t avoid people talk, but she never fuels it and never once she has used Adam (unlike others past abusers of him).
Their editorials, up until September publishing, like this Love Magazine one for instance, were ALL done while her and Adam were not together anymore:
I love her effortless coolness, never too much in the face, but always so clear and empowering.
She has this amazing allure about herself, and she truly has personality.
A rarity in beautiful people, especially those who grow up being told they are beautiful; she instead stays that lovely tomboy, and never let herself wander in the pretentious realm.
I love that about her so much :).
Haters started immediately to blab she got more campaigns out of Adam’s link: too bad her perfume pick was done by VS when they were BROKEN UP; all of her NEXT and Juicy campaigns also were shot when they were broken up: but haters are way too stupid to do the maths, or the reasoning about these things. They are far better at spitting nonsenseful hatred out of envy, because this is what losers do ;).
Has Victoria’s Secret tried to use Behati’s suddenly exploded exposure more since the engagement?
SURE they did. THEY did… not Behati.
They did what they always do with models they have on the roster who suddenly get paired with a real superstar: they put her on the front but her campaigns were given her BEFORE this, because you know, she models for them very successfully since 2007, and that has NOTHING to do with Adam.
Haters again are too stupid to understand this basic fact as well, but not anyone can have a brain ;).
Behati’s career has always been amazing WAY before Adam; she doesn’t sell herself constantly through social media because she’s not a famewhore and thinks social media serves for other purposes than not promoting herself annoyingly; but that doesn’t mean Behati is anything less than a REALLY SUCCESFUL and globally praised model, both HF and commercial (she can pull off anything with no effort; she’s just THAT cool).
Behati is a very successful girl since many years; her new media relevancy still hasn’t changed her one bit: she doesn’t believe the hype, and she’s so far away from others stuck up models she will never let this go to her head; most importantly, she will never SEEK for this kind of media feed: another reason Adam chose her as his wife for, I can bet about it.
Since Behati career is based mostly in New York, Adam and Behati have been starting searching for Soho apartments immediately as they got back together: a family life based on two coasts is something these two can afford (and mind you, Behati has more than 4 Million $ on her own from her modeling, so it’s not like only Adam could afford some fancy new digs).
Adam love is as true as the Sun; and in fact, I can’t wait for Maroon 5 new album to witness how it all went down between them: it fits that at first Fifth Album was meant to be dark (in SAJ way) because they started writing it on Tour at the start of 2013, when Adam and Behati broke up; it fits that then James revealed “later the mood of the album shifted”… because of course Adam got the love of his life BACK.
I can’t wait for the album honestly… it’s gonna be finally the album of LOVE ACCEPTED, a first in Maroon 5 career (and it could be a great way to end a chapter for them, too).
As I said, all of Maroon 5 crew, and Adam’s acolytes, were delighted about the engagement (and they pulled massively for it and for them to get back together for all of the time Adam parted with her, never giving any other of his temporary encounters, most notably model Nina Agdal, any attention or relation); his family was in it fully, too.
Because what’s not to love in Bee? She’s a lightening bolt of energy and love, and has one of the greatest personality ever. She’s blissful, that’s it.
This has also been a massive year of success for Maroon 5 as a band (you will see later on, they grossed by far their best tour EVER, capping a golden Year, even in the solar months when they actually were supposed to be “out of the map” as their album was growing older).
The Tour they partnered with Honda Civic has been HUGE.
You will read it later in Billboard but it was by far their best ever as I said; not only that… it was by far the tour where Adam looked and sounded THE HAPPIEST ever and guess why?
Because again his fiancée, no matter her commitments, would be by his side at ANY given moment.
Behati and golf made Adam and Maroon 5 some happy touring campers (and you know Adam actually hates all the chaos which comes with touring… but once one is at his happiest in his private life, guess what you were used to hate becomes something you can easily love).
After all, as Billboard testified, Maroon 5 have by now a juggernaut status in music history, which is amazing for a pop band; 10 years and more of amazing success GROWING into their second decade is an astonishing achievement, and even if many dismiss them not knowing their craftsmanship in music, just because they have the bliss and the downside of being fronted by someone handsome (more talented than handsome, but the curse of beauty is always a bad trait with hipsters you know), the truth cannot be overlooked, and the Billboard HISTORIC Charts just proved any Maroon 5 fan RIGHT in their love for them, even middle Year in.
To be fully clear: Maroon 5 is not like any other pop band: they are by now American Music History. Certified. It makes me very proud, too 🙂
I can admit (it pains me but I have to) that a lot of this new wave of impressive success for Maroon 5 has to be credited to that awful karaoke show that terrible excuse for a singing competition that unwatchable mess of a reality show The Voice (argh… I hate to write its name down) because it brought Adam up to MILLIONS of Americans who didn’t know how perfect he is previously; I still hope he detaches from it soon, but I can see if it’s in his hands, he won’t, because it’s making him ridiculously rich and popular and it has given him the resources to launch an array of other ventures, which are making him even richer, as well.
That is quite funny too: think about Adam’s Style, which is effortlessly personal and cool, since forever, and then translate it into affordable chain retailer line.
You will probably laugh BUT Adam Levine for KMart’s line has immediately been a HIT, and incredible one, with customers.
It is someway almost ironic, because Adam has always been snobish also in fashion, being the born rich kid he is (not in the sense that he only dresses in suits, but he only buys really pricey things, and even when they look simple, they cost a fortune); but his line has really great prices and still it maintains somehow his trademark laid-back imprinting.
It is also funny that his line is made for males, because Adam has a huge following of females (and gays, that too), but he is not exactly seen as a guys’ guy, unless you get to actually be part of his crew.
And, last but not least, the funniest and most ironic thing is that celebrities engaged in personal merch, shall be first and foremost ass-kissers of potential buyers (that values also for his perfume, of course); but Adam REALLY isn’t that type of celebrity.
He won’t fake ass-kiss nobody, he won’t make many meetings with buyers (only those he can’t avoid) and he for sure won’t ever avoid to voice his well-sided opinions, despite being at risk to alienate a huge trunk of buyers (read: rednecks republicans who he properly cannot stand).
I have been endlessly entertained these months by Adam’s complete lack of fake diplomacy, and actually i have admired him more and more for any tweet,, interview or blooper which was showing how much of a difficult-to-sell-fakely kind of celebrity he is.
And still… his lines are all hugely successful, especially when he is a non-solo pop male singer out of his teenage shell.
I find Adam’s exploits absolutely incredible, for real.
Oh, and he deserves all so much, because he’s such a hard, passionate worker.
And he, just like Maroon 5 as a whole, have always been VERY charitable and into good actions; but they are this way out of publicity, which makes them that much better in fact.
For all of their tour they helped kids and promoted valuable charities.
They also always promote new ways to get kids into music and art, and act towards this artistic push in words AND actions, and moreover they inspire kids towards art and music by connecting with them in person.
They love kids, especially unfortunate ones.
This also makes me very proud as a fan, and confirms my ways of appreciate them as people, even before than as very talented musicians and artists.
The Summer Tour was starting while Love Somebody became ANOTHER Top Ten hit out of Overexposed (4th single to achieve that consecutively out of their album, but if you count Moves Like Jagger run as well, and Stereo Hearts, it’s practically since Summer 2011 that ANYTHING Maroon 5 and Adam put out just get incredible success.
They never had a better run ever, and they even picked the wrong singles after One More Night! If they had paid better attention at the charts, Overexposed could have spanned a number 2 (Payphone) a Number One (One More Night) ANOTHER number one (Lucky Strike) and probably another number two in Love Somebody, which had the unfortunate position of being another ballad after Daylight (the sappiest song on Overexposed, which still, despite its lower quality, and the mess which was its video, managed to be also a Top Ten hit, which I was very skeptical about), and still it was the fourth consecutive multimillion single seller from the era, despite that.
During the Tour Adam showcased through Maroon 5 his protegée Rozzi Crane, the girl he created label 222 for (I am not that much of a fan: cute voice and nice energy on stage, but she’s really not that much to me, but that’s just me: always remember I also completely loathe The Voice and anything related, and I had to experience The Voice contestant already a few times while following Maroon 5 on Tour, and I never fell into those traps either ;)).
Even if I don’t really care for Rozzi at all, I am hoping she finds success just because Adam seems to really strive for this, and moreover because her success means HIS success as a label boss as well (but labels are not really a profitable venture anymore in Years 2K, Adam knows it, so I believe in creating 222 he’s just being generous as usual with the people he likes).
One of the things I loved the most about the tour were their pick for songs to cover.
Flawless taste, indeed.
Whenever the guys had a moment of spare time, Adam and his similarly obsessed mates would golf all around the Country, spanning some really nice looking stay, even if Adam still quite bad with irons 😉 (but he’s so stubborn he won’t give up until he won’t reach what he wants to achieve there).
I like for sure that he’s making so many powerful friends while golfing tho: golf is a sport which will give him the connections he needs to develop even more once he will decide to start up the second phase of his biz career, out of the limelight of a stage (I don’t think it will take that much longer for it, you know).
Adam had also to reconcile his touring with his love for Breaking Bad (the series); I was actually thinking he would have dressed as Pinkman for Halloween, out of all his love for Cranston&Co, but I was wrong ;).
Some of the time “off” from the Summer tour was also dedicated to the taping of Adam’s Tv show (ewwww), which was at least at his home in LA, so more or less a not so stressful task for him in between gigs (hopefully, and then he was with Behati too then).
Behati was with Adam at any given moment in fact, but when she wasn’t following her beau and all of the guys (who all adore her, the same as all of Adam’s colleagues, since it’s clear how positive for him it’s her influence) all across USA, she was working her ass off, for Victoria’s Secret and not only.
I loved during those days her sweet tutorial about make up: she shines so lovely there, and she always appears for what she is, namely a simple girl with zero bad attitude and a really cool and refreshing approach to fashionably matters.
I love this about her so much.
Whenever it was possible to cut a small portion of spare time in the tour then, Behati and Adam would unite to enjoy luxury vacations and, also (wow, that’s so NOT hipster 😉 but Behati before being a hipster is in love with her man) try to connect in together with golf (Bee is looking stunning in golf attire ;)).
Although they don’t like to publicize their love (which is a private fact) Adam and Behati are always cute with not intrusive fans also in their spare time, and if you are kind and not harass them, you will get something like THIS (I guess the stalker housewives who talk shit against Bee would fake their lives to be that near to Adam, and the woman they claim is “trash” “druggie” “ugly” “without class” and so on in their funny Twitter rants against her. I just wonder: the husbands of said housewives never give them some good dick, so that they keep dreaming about a dick they could never have, being Adam’s taste into fit slender supermodels and not overweight wrinkled old witches?)
Their favorite places to enjoy small spare times in tour?
Adam’s Los Cabos retreat and of course, Hawaii (maybe the place of their incoming wedding? who knows)
Even when back in Los Angeles, they swiftly passed at the chances of being pap snapped, never offering anything more than a low head, because people not in their world just have no rights to share their light (beside, often gossip rag are so stupid and misinformed what was their RETURN to LA after the Los Cabos lil holiday was written as if they were flying FROM LA to some buen retiro… not that gossip magazines have ever been reliable anyway, but at least date checking before writing could be good ;)).
During Summer, the last of Behati’s amazing spreads came out: it was a GQ Mexico cover feature and her feline beauty, so mesmerizing and fiercely animalistic was shining in all sexyness:
Her impeccable physique and adorable personality also shone in the video out of the backstage for this.
Enjoy:
When at the middle of August Adam and Behati came back to LA from Los Cabos, they could spend two days in sunny Cali home… and what did they do then (beside having to attend The Fuckery The Voice taping , where they probably snapped the picture Behati would later publish of Adam running naked in his boxer briefs, and where they kept making out without camera rolling at any given moment)?
They went to Brian Randolph (Adam’s fav tattoo-man) tagging Milo De Cruz along and they (of course without ever tell anyone publicly) tattooed their mutual love permanently on their skins.
Adam tweeted a very hilarious thing from Brian’s store, too (well of course he always has sex in mind whenever with Bee… who wouldn’t ;)).
I simply melted when it was clear they did.
I felt so much of their love going on I was like blinded by the Sun due to it.
You have to understand all of the hidden meaning of this, but Adam and Behati permanently inked (in each other’s calligraphy) a sentence out from Behati’s favorite movie, “True Romance“ (which movie choice ALSO tells so much about how passionately they love one another, too):
The tattoo they have (Adam on the inner side of his most naked arm, and Behati on the side of her bust, in a position which makes easier for a bra to cover it) reads:
“You’re so cool, You’re so cool, You’re so cool”.
And if you learn about True Romance movie, you will get the power and importance of what Adam and Bee did by inking this to their bodies.
It sounds more of an eternal promise than even the $ 385,000 diamond he put on her ring finger.
I find all this so touching, and again, Adam and Behati are just SO connected on so many levels it’s so wonderful they found one another AND, even more wonderful, Behati was there with her love and patience and heart and spirit to save him even from himself, and even though he tried to escape his salvation (Adam has a tendency to self destruction, or his favorite Ninja Turtle wouldn’t be Rapahel, as himself stated two years ago ;)).
It is such a bliss when True Love wins 🙂
Around that time news came out that Behati was selected (after Daria Werbowy and Gisele Bundchen before her) to be the face of Italian Wool Brand STEFANEL Fall Winter campaign.
I was happy because that meant I was ready to see her beautiful face all over Italy (which I did).
And of course once again this campaign was a success she had on her own, as she was shooting all this exactly in the months of her break up from Adam (some of the locations were then clear which she instagrammed around April).
I love the video of the backstage so hard:
Behati moved to be on the road with Adam some more, and the lovely thing was that she was NEVER trying to steal his spotlight (the way a girlfriend in love does) but he acknowledged her EVERY night she was with him, by singing passionately to her his songs, which now have a real meaning because he has finally found true love in her.
To witness this live has been a bliss.
I pity those poor minds who cannot reckon how huge is the love these two have for one another, and I condemn whoever is trying to put dirt on them, and her especially.
Behati is an Angel for real: she saved Adam with the power of her incredible love.
One of the tasks Maroon 5 highly successful Summer Tour (read please this excerpt from BillBoard and get into Maroon 5 tour magic) had in store for Adam was the fact he had to carefully pinpoint all dates to wrap around all of his other commitments: the launch of the KMart line, which switched, and also, of course, the fact his first movie, Can A song Save Your Life? was premiering in Toronto at TIFF (which caused one of the tour dates to change, to allow him to fly in Canada for it).
More on that (the movie) later on.
Before noticing this though, we have to update the list of Adam Levine’s biz ventures with one more notch on his belt: producer (for real this time) of comedies (based on himself, mind you… that is a true sign of being A list).
I also love that he extends his wealth and fame and opportunities to those who have shared his life for real, in this case Gene.
Adam is very generous with his people.
I can see Adam in this position until his grandpas days, and after all a tv producer is what his grandfather is, so it’s in his blood anyway.
Even though music is such a solid spot for Maroon 5 now, I don’t see Adam being a touring full on musician when he will be 40… I sense he won’t (though he could be as long as he likes to).
I love how his longtime supporters in Hwood are all ecstatic about these series of successes of him.
It tells how much of a good boy he is that those who were there for him when he was not known are still loving him now that he is a superstar in multiple fields.
Adam joy was so evident on tour and I am happy there is not a single aspect of his life since he got with Bee which isn’t pretty perfect; I also love how they are so touchy and intimate whenever together, but they never publicize that at all, so you can know that only if you are sharing live spaces with them (and you can be blinded by their passionate bond).
At the end of August Behati blessed us all by sharing a picture which became easily viral, which I suppose she took while attending the Voice taping a few days earlier than the date of the actual Instagram post.
She posted it before having to fly away from him for working duties, like she wanted to cap the time together in a festive way, and was so kind she wanted us all to be part of it (either that, or Adam lost a bet – they play a lot of those from what I have learned – and she had her winning to be celebrated through mockery, which is also so much A&B in my book) .
The picture is this, and the caption is almost as iconic as the image (they are two goofballs full of love, and I like it):
No need to say the snap went uber famous in a split second; Ellen DeGeneres in particular made it one of the most shared posts of the Year on her feed ;).
He could really rival her in underwear modeling after all 😉 and apparently Kelly Clarkson agreed, too.
I love how fashion magazines had to republish this as well; it’s a smart move, because an icon sells and Adam is undoubtedly an icon by now (poor haters will eat their livers on this fact as well ;)).
This post also got the envious witches even more envious, but again, is not like Bee cares so good venom to them… one they they might choke out of it all, and that’d be actually right.
Behati has what everyone would like to have, and it’s all for herself and haters can have a seat.
That day I began to notice how People Magazine was starting to be REALLY up-on-date with anything Adam related; they finally created a page on him (a personal one) and they also made an article out of Bee’s post.
I saw later on, at the time of Sexiest Man Alive material publishing, than those were the days when they probably decided Adam would be their SMA (and maybe the feedback off Behati’s post had something to do with their decision).
This means… endless coverage in the future of ANYTHING Adam and Behati will like to see published in their pages (well, maybe less naked-y… but who knows ;)).
Guaranteed (that’s a Power Couple prerogative, if you please).
After all, it was about time People realized Adam’s status and certified it in stone for the incoming ages (I mean, people even create cocktails out of his name!).
He makes millions and millions out of multiple endeavors each year; he’s someone anyone craves to be in the presence of; he is classically beautiful, he is multi talented, and he is also a very hard, hard worker (that is a surprise for himself first in some ways); he never stops, and still is able to not sell his private life for fame (in this, people who are with him are helpful too).
His future children will have a father they will be very proud of.
And I don’t think we will wait too long for said children ;).
As Behati was flying back to New York for work (while Adam was playing golf in Connecticut with his former The Voice winner Javier Colon), her amazing pictorial for Interview Magazine (The Goddesses feature I posted already above) came out: so much sexy there, and she does look like Kate Moss so much there… I fell in love immediately like many other times with her, because her nudity is so chaste and still so powerful; she is so classy even naked because she isn’t a try hard and has never those fake faces models put whenever undressed.
She is amazingly unique, and constantly praised for her personal style by the apt sources (see, VOGUE).
But what was Behati called for that she had to fly back to New York so fast?
She was styled for two amazing things those days…
A future VOGUE MEXICO cover.
And also her incoming THVM capsule collection.
As usual she sounded in her – never too revealing – Instagram hints so humble and grateful and so cute towards anybody helping her realizing her dreams…
she is so lovely in her works; she always expresses gratitude and is never ever self-entitled.
I admire her way to be so much, I always say this like a loop but it’s truly so different from usual paths models take, I always get astonished by her.
By the start of September though, Behati was again by Adam’s side, and they as usual were always kind and adorable with their fans.
You can feel when Behati and Adam are together also from the silly-ness of his tweets, which are rare, but always happy and absurd when he is with Bee (I bet they laugh all the time).
Before going on with September though, let’s recap August better with this mash up video:
Adam and Behati were in New York, at their beloved Mercer in Soho (their future NY apartment must be in that hood too, I bet); and not even rain could destroy their parade.
The Mercer Hotel was also the location of Adam’s interviews about the KMart line which was set to launch definitively on October 1st (to not interfere too much with the tour).
Cosmopolitan was always a fan of this it seems…
And I must admit the line, even tho it’s Kmart (!!!!) it’s really well crafted and good looking.
Good partner he chose to collaborate with, too.
Another thing that caught my eye then, and even more NOW: at the time of the presentation of his line for Kmart, Adam said his style icon is BATMAN… and well, later on, we would know the symbol of Behati’s line (which she made BEFORE Adam’s one) is a fruit bat, because she is OBSESSED with bats.
Coincidence?
Absolutely NOT, I can bet on it. 😉
Once again at night they went out and as usual they were super nice with their encounters, but always attached to one another like glue, too (awwww real love).
Behati street style is so rock and cool and she always pairs it up with totally make-up free face…
If this isn’t a perfect down to Earth girl I don’t know what down-to Earth is.
For real.
Not that when she goes full-on model goddess she fails, either: just take a look at the stunning editorial for the cover of Vogue Japan BEAUTY feature Behati was the star of in September, and let your jaw drop (talking about jaws, her own one is so perfect and beautiful… her face is a wonder).:
Behati and Adam New York times are always enjoyable it appears; given that Behati has to remain work-based in New York, I am sure the couple will enjoy their times in the Big Apple whenever they will occur, as they are doing since they gotten engaged, all the time.
The tour was starting again after the NY break and Behati had the chance to spend some lil time with her partner in crime (the crime being to be the lady loves of Maroon 5 band members) Ali Tamposi, James’ adorable other half.
The two are simply great together, and Ali has been the greatest supporter of Bee when she was away from Adam (with James) so I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s gonna be a bridesmaid during their marriage 🙂
That night, Adam serenaded Bee again openly during Love Somebody (aww so cute).
Immediately after, Adam flew to Toronto for the Film Festival.
By the time of its first ever screening, Can A song Save Your Life was still without a distribution deal.
Toronto was exactly the showcase it needed to span a bidding war on itself and the movie not only was a major hit, but it was THE BEST SUCCESS of them all, sparkling a wonderous bidding war won by Harvey Weinstein (AKA most powerful distributor in Hwood).
The bidding war was amazingly battled, which means only good things in foresight.
The movie is considered to be such a great assured hit, many were thinking Weinstein Company would make it out on the halls immediately after TIFF; but since Harvey Weinstein TRULY wants to promote it (read: he thinks it can be a contender for Oscars) he will wait till Spring 2014, so that it won’t be overrun by movies already established this year or so that it couldn’t ruin with its power other candidates at academy Harvey has THIS Year.
What is the sum up for all this?
Easy.
Adam Levine is gonna add a major movie hit to his already well impressive curriculum; given that Can a Song… is a musical movie, I can already see the chance for an Oscar nomination in the field of music, at least.
Harvey knows what he has in his hands, and the fact in Toronto he and Adam were profusely speaking can only mean one thing: Adam has now a supporter which is BEYOND powerful.
And this only means more money, fame and fortune on his incoming deck.
I still convinced People Magazine’s push about Adam being the Sexiest Man Alive has A LOT to do with Mr. Weinstein’s future plans about his movie career.
And if any, that’s a GREAT move on his part because Adam has that silver screen cut beauty nobody in Weinstein’s position could overlook.
I also love the pairing with Keira: she has a timeless beauty quality to her own and I am a fan since Bend It like Beckham so… it couldn’t be any better for my fan heart than all Can A song… is gonna provide me in terms of satisfaction ;).
And the future Missus Levine, what was she doing while her lover was starting his moves to become a certified actor?
Well, Behati was back on the NY Fashion Week Runaway as an exclusive for Alexander Wang collection:
Her pictures also from the capsule ready-to-wear snaps were similarly stunning.
Behati can be so wonderful in high fashion; I know Victoria’s Secret has made her rich, because it’s the best contract in modeling commercially speaking; but I miss her HF outings because she has just the height, the frame, the grace and walking personality for HF, more than anything else.
But her pretentious-free attitude probably makes her not really miss high fashion that much; and after all some selected things are better than too many runaways (gives her more time for her future hubby’s needs :)).
Hubby-to-be has in fact so many things to think about his lovely half MUST be the one less occupied or he would collapse; Behati luckily understands this, also because she LOVES HIM FOR REAL and not for need of a publicity spot, so she can support him first by being by his side whenever she can.
Adam is in fact VERY blessed, because also his bandmates are sincere friends and since Behati couldn’t be with him in Toronto due to her duties (VOGUE shot and NYFW), Mickey and James flew in Canada to support their man in her place.
This is adorable, as it is the fact the whole band is proud of Adam’s external ventures and triumphs, rather than being jealous over them and him.
They’re like brothers indeed, and I bet they are excited to see how the acting bug will end to catch up on Adam.
By the middle of the month of September, and in the middle of the mega Honda Civic Tour, Maroon 5 had also the iHeart Music Festival duty; no rest for the best, I guess ;), and no hyper successful tour ever comes in terms with no effort, right?
The secret is touring with people you admire and whom admire you equally and Kelly on this was an amazing partner for Maroon 5, for sure.
Well some rest came out in golfing terms always anyways, and briefly in Tampa Adam had still Bee by his side (she flew in as soon as possible from New York… the sweet commitment!); but soon she had to fly over Europe, as it was time to shoot the Xmas commercial for Victoria’s Secret in PARIS and after that the Swim Collection snaps in St. Tropez (this year it seems any place I went to, Bee went there as well, with or without Adam, just a lil after me ;)).
She flew away to Paris just when Adam stopped in Savannah Buffett’s realm (Miami!) and I guess to honor his fiancée he wore what is meaningful to them even in her absence (as smartly noted exactly by Savannah).
Those days he filmed the People Magazine sexiest Man Alive short videos (I post them here so you can reckon the location), which may as well be Savvy’s place).
Take a look:
And to this one too:
These videos were totally made those days in Miami.
Hands down.
And the fact the Sexiest Man Alive stuff were filmed right after The Toronto Film Festival Triumph adds to my theory that Harvey Weinstein gave more than two thumbs up to People’s choice for Adam.
Harvey knows what Adam can achieve in movie goodness 🙂
After all, Adam showcased he can act well for instance by doing a perfect impression of Catfish‘s Nev (appreciated by Nev himself, you know).
He just needs training… because Nature has provided Adam with all possible other qualities: talents, vision, and beauty.
And beauty is also what Adam gathers to himself; like his perfectly beautiful fiancée, who was up in mood and adorable even freezing herself in panties and feathered wings on Parisian nights, shooting like a super pro.
Paris after all is the town of Love and Beauty and Behati is all of those things for sure; a rocking Beauty she is.
As September was rolling and going on, I caught the news that Maroon 5 had signed an exclusive Administration Deal with Kobalt Publishing; it’s a smart biz move, because Kobalt is a rampant company in the biz, which benefits especially established worldwide acts; after all Adam had reached all he could with BMI with his award this past Spring and it was time Maroon 5 all reunited under a single Publishing deal (previously Adam and Jesse were under BMI and James was an ASCAP member).
In the Year End number of Billboard that I will put up later on it’s clear this move is all about a smarter executive administration of Maroon 5 royalties worldwide (and Adam is very careful and intelligent when it comes to money, and knows what to choose to expand his portfolio).
But as biz savvy as he is, Adam also cannot avoid to voice his real persona despite the fact this could cause his “image” some squats… so after he voiced his (totally right) appreciation for Pope Francis those days (and of course he loves him, this Pope is BEST!!!!), and after he got to share space with someone he really admires, he couldn’t avoid to voice out his distaste for impersonators in music/art/life…
They were at iHeart radio Music Festival, and while there were MANY performers there, it seems someone really didn’t impress Adam much…
Now please notice just one thing: NOBODY can say Adam was directing this at Lady Gaga.
He has actually always expressed praise towards her openly in interviews (see OUT Magazine, twice) and the only time he said something not really fine on her was when he compared Born This Way to Express Yourself (which he was totally RIGHT about).
But that one time he made his tweet direct.
This time what he said could have applied to at least ten performers he probably had to witness at iHeart Festival.
What made this absurd was how Lady Gaga’s troopers and feeders acted all chip on their shoulders and automatically made Adam’s tweet referring to Gaga.
Of course after he got insults thrown, Adam just said (quoting Shakespeare) that all that fuss was really not a cool thing, and that maybe somebody was making a big deal out of nothing.
He also stated that, since all of Gaga’s troopers complaints were based on “Art” (not that Gaga’s latest album is even remotely art… it’s more or less garbage, in fact) and the fact she was art and he was trash, he doesn’t strive for art at all, nor puts himself on any art pedestal.
He got this peculiar vision where what he does (pop music) is not at a level of greatness to be compared to art and in this he is actually valuing ART way more than the screechers troopers of Gaga are doing.
Adam is actually very humble regarding what he does; but by nature he won’t ever accept the insane and absurd hate he got by leechers while he was probably not even talking about Gaga in the first place.
Then he has a very peculiar humorist take at life not everyone gets (but it’s their limit and Adam’s greatness).
But whatever; they would meet at The Voice finale in December, proving that in fact Gaga was in need of Adam’s thunder while Adam couldn’t care less about her (oh, and The Karaoke Show also won an Emmy… a thing that American Idol never achieved…wow, I don’t know if it’s worthy celebrate this? Naw ;))
Adam probably got the comfort of Behati through phone, as she was shooting still in St Tropez, being her bubbly happy self always (he needs her light so much).
It’s also to be noted that anytime right now Maroon 5 have a special private performance that they could randomize in any location… somehow this location ALWAYS came up to be New york.
I don’t really think it’s a casual event… I am more driven to think Adam wants to accommodate Behati’s schedule with his and I find this amazingly sweet.
The tour was progressing and the grand Finale was approaching and The Voice was starting on screens, meaning more exposure for Adam and therefore to Behati; it was also clear both were starting to find acceptable to speak in interviews about their engagement, albeit always in not exaggerated amount.
It also meant that the newsfeeds would constantly link all things Behati did to Adam; somehow messing up with times, like when they started to say she followed in her fiancée fashion ventures with THVM campaign while in fact she was the one doing that first.
Or when they mentioned her being “Adam’s fiancèe” all over the report she was getting FOUR version of ELLE ITALIA cover in October (out in September), while all those pictures were shot in April, while she and Adam were broken up and he was linked with Nina Agdal (some major Instagram memories, there):
But by now we know Behati has a (un)fair share of haters who cannot even see how wrong about her they are when put in front of evidences.
Let’s move on 😉
Anyway, I am glad at least one of Maroon 5 special gigs was in San Francisco Area ;), because that gig was AWESOME and I can tell it well because you know, I know 😉
And by then Lovely Bee was already where she belongs, and happy about it.
Also Adam was very happy… so happy he did a couple of things: first he said this thing about crooked teeth and you can see who has unperfect ones…
As I said before you can tell when Behati is with him because he becomes so happy and stupid and kid-like… they are so in love it’s so natural for him to lay all barriers down, also because she shares his way of being too.
So they went golfing in the mountain storms, they went buying Nike together, and they just acted all lovey as much as possible, and so happy were they not even a sudden gig cancellation could dumper their shining mood.
Oh, and I have been asked to post this: Look how Hollywood people are regarding their reciprocal HEIGHT (ps: Adam and Bee are exactly the same height, 5’11’ 1/5, and this means whenever Behati wears heels, she’s gonna be taller than Adam: a wedding in flip flops? Hawaii wouldn’t mind ;))
And while Overexposed was crossing the 1,500,000 copies mark in USA (amazing achievement), they kept their tour going while keeping being adorable.
This tour surely marks a milestone in Maroon 5 career (I had the clear feeling of it already before this fact being testified just the other day by Billboard Magazine).
It’s also so rare that a pop band can endure such a long term success.
It’s also majorly deserved by the guys.
Then as a decade plus longer fan of them I am happy to see the guys on their ways to complete settle down; make their families soon, and having the bliss of seeing their significant others ALSO getting along.
I loved to see while free in LA those days before the final dates of the Honda Tour, Bee and Adam went double dating with Jimmy V and Ali.
Evidence of this in this TMZ video (click).
This is simply precious.
And Adam is extremely linked to his people so he could have married only someone perfectly fitting in with ALL of his beloved ones. Behati is this kind of person, and that is why everybody is happy they are gonna marry soon.
And while I do believe their marriage will take place in February 2014, I never believed they were going to have TWO weddings, as many outlets started to erroneously report (Bee denied this in an interview I will post later on On Air With Ryan Seacrest (RADIO).
To recollect all of September, take this other super mash up video (and a link to funny mean tweets feature):
October came and so it did the grand opening of KMart’s collection (Jesse went to support his friend… how cute is that? and how I cannot wait for Jesse to be back with the band, as well? Fifth album will be perfect… PERFECT!).
The collection as I said is really nice, ESPECIALLY if you think it’s Kmart.
Adam can make anything work, basically.
Before the final dates in Hollywood Bowl, Adam and Bee had more chances to be adorable; then THE date came and all family gathered and you could see the LOVE all family has for Behati, pretty clearly (even tho I don’t like this particular family member praising her here…); once again Behati was gracious and never stole any spotlight unless requested.
It was also Jimmy V’s Bday so it was one more reason to celebrate and the outfits were certainly on point ;).
Not that Ali and Bee need any further reason to be happy, but they are really amazing messing up together… to not love them would be criminal 🙂
I personally loved the gig(s) I witnessed in this tour a lot; I still ROYALLY PISSED all that Maroon 5 do is to put Europe in the back and disrespect European fans at any time our poor Continent crosses with anything The Voice related, but I guess I can’t argue since they are so successful now, and were capping this year the 18th most successful tour WORLDWIDE (and this WITHOUT Europe!).
I love when they play live… that’s it!
After the mega days, Behati flew back to New York to do some work… but also because something HUGE was bound to happen.
At the same time, it took just Bee being parted from him and Adam went all nostalgic and romantically lost again (they were skyping then, I could guess ;)).
But Behati would soon return by Adam’s side, and with some VERY WELCOMED company: HER PARENTS, arrived from Africa to meet the Levines in Los Angeles (via New York).
I can’t tell you how happy I was when Behati tweeted that 😉
Too bad Adam had to endure paps on his ways to dine with such important people in his life (see his face whenever paps try to interfere with his precious real life: if he could fire lasers from eyes to them, he would!).
At lest tho we know from Behati’s father Facebook all meeting went great; we saw actually the future home Bee and Adam will share in total renovation (that’s the property Adam bought back in Bev Hills code zone in Benedict Canyon, which is being completely remade by Mark Haddawy while he is renting another house in Encino he currently lives in), with Charlie and Bones all happy around their owners, too.
It’s so wonderful that the meeting was a pure sparkle of intense love and everybody loved one another!!
Behati has already said her parents will come again for a month or so in Between January AND February (EHM: what could that long stay hint at ;)? it’s clear to me…) and that they are all ecstatic about Adam (what’s not to adore about him); then that Behati is loved by Adam’s family is well clear out of the personal praise everybody in Adam’s camp has for her (she even acts big sister with sam in the cutest way, patronizing his little lover, Luna like a perfect real sister would do).
You will see some of the pics I desribed here in the next mash up video for October and November…
Now let’s move and talk about Behati VOGUE MEXICO cover, which came out in October (for the November issue).
One word: STUNNING.
WOW.
I mean… she’s just perfect in every way, a chameleon who can turn from tomboy to goddess in a blink.
Look at this video, thanx 🙂
She is so pure and great… and she TRULY rocks :).
I wonder what Behati will make her and Adam’s kids watch when they will be there.
I mean… what do you tell your kids when your father has a cartoon version of himself in Family Guy?
I bet it’s gonna be a cool moment in their family, that one ;).
Adam talked about his future as a family man on Jay Leno, where he also revealed what we knew: that he didn’t believe in marriage, UNTIL Behati came and made him a marriage believer.
Only a true lover could change his bachelor status; only a TRUE LOVE could mold him into a family man.
This is real love, let’s just face it 🙂
And about his ventures?
Since his private life is so perfect, you could expect Destiny got brakes on in other sides but.. no way: Adam’s life and touch is just unbeatable; so much that his line at Kmart sold like hot cakes immediately.
Basically, his KMart line outsold anything else, surprising everybody (but him, because Adam is a cocky winner ;)).
And what you do when a celebrity who is supposedly better selling to females make a super splash in a male targeted biz?
Simple, you immediately add a SECOND line, this time intended for his core marketing, and wait for a super-sized cash flow.
I don’t know if Behati is for real going to help him with that, but he will surely get inspired by her flawless style, that is a given!
Not that Adam ever lacked money… but I guess also his nephews will ever hardly need to worry about that in the future ;).
By the way, it was coming Adam and Behati’s favorite holiday (even tho Bee later said that right now Thanksgiving is her favorite, now I guess that she has a real family also in the USA), namely HALLOWEEN!!!!
This year, The Hollywood Forever Cemetery couldn’t be used by Maroon 5 for what is the IT party on the West Coast among celebrities; that because there was a special event two days before and the Cemetery couldn’t be set in time for Adam and Maroon5 grand plans.
No problem: they rented an entire hotel and recreated THE OVERLOOK Hotel (and you know which one is my fav movie, right? EXACTLY ;)) at The SportsLodge up Los Angeles Drive.
The location made the guest list smaller than usual (the size was smaller compared to the Cemetery) so less pictures came from drooling guests and Adam forbid the press from the inside (ah, the privacy holder!).
Adam had declared at Leno he and Behati (and we saw, also James and Ali) would have gotten into Eyes Wide Shut characters; and they did in spectacular fashion, from head to toe (thanx to the masks creators at Creature Effects, which is a company which works for Hollywood Movie Productions ;)… peons to the left, please).
Halloween marked the official presentation of new Mickey’s girlfriend, style blogger and personality Niki Takesh (they went as Britney and Justin in the infamous full jeans MTV Awards matching outfits… too funny!).
Not that Maroon 5 are only about fun, guys… they also promote good activity for kids and education and they do something about that at least every two months (take note, okay?).
It was then time of panties and feathers, otherwise known as The Annual Victoria’s secret fashion show (i.e: the reason models would like to kill one another each year to steal at least a spot in the most watched worldwide fashion related event).
After Halloween, The Voice was about to go live, and since the show is on Monday and Tuesday and the Victoria’s secret Fashion Show was going to be taped on a Wednesday, I was thinking Adam couldn’t have made it in time.
I was skeptical he could squeeze it all into a presence for the feisty catwalk, also because Maroon 5 were having the private Malibu Event in the Big Apple on Saturday and I thought schedule was just too tight.
I underestimated Adam’s and the guys’ will to honor and please Behati – and I am happy I was wrong, in full. 😉
Adam also found a way to honor Behati while filming the Voice: in a lovely little excerpt he presented to the world little Charlie, their new golden retriever which is the companion they chose for Bones (aka the dog muppet).
I still consider the picture of Bee in the patio of their house cuddling minuscule Charlie baby and showing her ring the most beautiful personal picture she has ever shared (and that was taken by Adam, I am sure of it like I am of nothing else… almost ;))-
During the after party (and you will see their joyful glow in the pictures from the mash up videos) Adam let Behati shine, and imitating her, he never stole her spotlight on red carpets (he knows she has a stature on her own and doesn’t need him to have snappers interested in her, she’s an Angel after all), and then Bee and Adam tho spent the night at the party making out, as witnesses noted (they always are doing that whenever together).
I will post here only the first reaction to the taping of the show, because the whole show I will post later while we talk about December; but of course Adam’s presence made Behati the star of the show (he could make a nobody relevant in two shows for VS, imagine what he can do now when showing up to cheer her REAL VS ANGEL fiancée… it’s a news dream made fashionably loud statement).
I am sorry for any Behati hater (no, I am not, I am amused at their demise): what you have now is a power Couple and unless Leo Di Caprio marries Candice Swanepoel next year, there is no way Behati won’t be the star of VS in 2014: live with it, and enjoy the effortless ride.
She achieved all she has on her own, she has walked with this 7 years for VS, and she was made an Angel in 2009, but now that Adam actually wants to show her his support, she is already superstardom certified and nobody can make a thing against this.
Everything she is gonna do will make People’s headlines; and just for good measure: Adam and Behati have now a relevance Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom only could dream of when they started to be a couple.
Take a look at some of the previews of the show which came out immediately after it got taped.
Therefore put everything in proportioned foresight, and enjoy the Behati’s takeover (haters can’t fight this although they will surely try, making it all even sweeter for Behati in the end).
No need to argue; resistance of the lessors is futile ;), but entertain us if you please with your so misplaced gratuitous hatred…
And talking about misplaced hatred, Adam got his fair share too, and for a series of reason which are actually VERY POLITICAL.
Let’s go in line.
Just around VSFS, Adam started to be mentioned by relevant outlets as the next People Magazine “Sexiest Man Alive”.
The newsfeed stating he got that was Gossip Cop so it means what they wrote was 100% TRUE.
I immediately thought “Finally!”, and then I realized that would have been a really big change in the way People usually shapes its list: then, as I wrote above, I started also to picture Harvey Weinstein plans to sell Adam WORLDWIDE for his movie.
And everything made sense (for instance all International sites lauded at Adam’s pick, because they are not prejudicially against a liberal getting this, being out of USA political spectrum of motions).
The SMA honor is indeed the most important People Cover of the Year; it makes whoever gets it a staple in relevance all over the world, and that is so true, right now EVERYWHERE (Italy included of course) any kind of important magazine will mention Adam with that title aside, like he’s a Knight now or something.
While Adam was in New York post VSFS and before his Malibu Rum special Event with Maroon 5 he had a series of shows he was slated to attend; they were all cute things, and he was lovely talking about Behati and the VS show, but you could see him being defensive about SMA honor (in fact he knew he was since that famous Miami date of Maroon 5 tour, we saw it above).
and then here (so cute interview!):
During these interviews Behati was with him and you can see her staying lovingly behind Adam carrying a labrador puppy in many ways so reminiscent of their little Charlie.
I can see Adam holding their incoming baby (2015 after Behati’s 2014 Fantasy bra? I can picture this easily) so well everytime I see how he holds puppies with that adoring gaze 🙂
The guys were followed in their NY outings (still trying to find their happy place in the Big Apple, (which was awesome as reviewed by Billboard) always looking effortless cool when together, and always so affectionate and in synch), and by now people are starting to get used to them as “Romeo and Juliet” like:
Then it was confirmed: Adam was People’s Sexiest Man Alive.
And while balanced people didn’t see anything strange with this (it was two years, since he got so popular thanks to The Voice, that people actually were throwing his name out for the honor, unsatisfied with anyone not named Ryan Gosling to get it, so it was not THAT out of the blue), some sites really vented out against his election, in really catty and completely wrong ways.
But I guess proto feminist sites where women claim men are pigs, but then they behave exactly like pig women, aren’t exactly the places we should look upon to (right Jezebel?): it’s also funny that said “site” while spanning hate towards Adam had its best click-throught just by mentioning him, resulting in them hilariously re-putting up the same news in days after, just to obtain that increase in their shrinking readership. Good luck in five years, girls: you’ll be gone and Adam will still hot, relevant and rich 😉
Then there are the sites which are PURPOSELY against Adam anyway, which have ALL a connection with the FOX News property (Jezebel is part of that galaxy as well actually, as they are New York Daily News and satellites such as Page six, and so on… all those sites are paid by REPUBLICANS and they promote a take on their “news” which has as a ultimate purpose the one to diminish the impact of openly liberal celebrities towards their public).
Those sites IMMEDIATELY started a campaign of defamation regarding Adam and how fitting he was to be crowned sexiest Man Alive.
Why?
Because Adam is dangerous for them: he voices openly his liberal views, and he is an open Obama supporter (in fact days ago he became one of the face for Obama care push in California); he is never shy to voice his opinion and his opinion MATTERS to the youth, so whoever is Republican oriented MUST destroy Adam’s credibility and popularity when it risks to overflow (and now he is at a peak for sure), molding the youth towards something Republicans don’t want.
It’s simple as that: some people MUST hate on Adam because they actually reckon his power in society (and here we could debate why celebrities are this relevant in societies, but I won’t dwell there as it would be useless).
Not that Adam cares if ordals of retarded rednecks (funny enough, all the fat housewives hating on Behati are rednecks… and so far away from anything Adam would appreciate also humanly as possible… coincidence? NOT. They are scum and of course scum hate on Behati… you hate what you cannot understand or imitate, right?) mock him: he has proved he will keep fighting and voicing the things he believes in and let’s face it, he is a NATURAL progressive Democrat.
It’s his core and I can’t see how people so into red-neckness can like someone so far away from their crooked beliefs; I have long time ago realized they actually don’t like “Adam”: they lust after him, but don’t get a thing of his amazing personality at all, whatever they claim to be doing instead.
But back at The People SMA Gate: of course any choice is subjective, and if you’re not Ryan Gosling you will be criticized for it, but Adam is in everything a fitting pick for this, unless you are blinded by his dislike in not intelligent ways (have you noticed the sites claiming he is “slimey” rely on things he actually never did – leaving girls by text is a thing he has never done – or put on the table things he did or do when he was way younger and prone to make stupid things? I did, and this of course proves just how much the haters don’t have a clue on him, especially they don’t about the one he has become in the past few years, namely a great man in all).
But haters can try to diminish his status as much as they like: the fact is that Adam is not only wildly popular, he is also WILDLY LOVED.
Then as I said this cover marks so many other potential steps in anyone career, and it’s clear whoever gets it, especially a non-actor, immediately is perceived as a menace to those who are maybe waiting to being named just to be able to ask through their agents a higher paycheck for the projects they are involved with, and this can lead to attacks.
But ehi, Adam is always gracious and really open at taking also jabs, and you see this in the way he reacted both to the mention, and the fuss it generated.
Jimmy Kimmel docet:
Adam is the less pretentious celebrity out there… if haters hope to affect him, they can wait until World will stop spinning.
And he is UNDOUBTEDLY beautiful AND super sexy, in fact.
Hear him talk On Air with Ryan here:
He exudes sexyness in a very primal way, science could also explain why he is indeed a great SMA, and his talents only adds to his true handsomeness.
There are way more than just 28 reasons for Adam is a perfect fit for SMA honoree, actually.
And those who know him LOVE him, whoever they are or in which field they excel at.
He is also somebody who has already achieved so much in what HE excels at, namely music, he can be very satisfied with who he is, screw haters, thank you.
Won’t happen, and this is why he and Behati are a perfect match: the same goes for her: she is carefree, humorous and down-to earth, so much she could LAUGH about Adam being SMA.
Behati went home in LA a day before Adam, because she had some working to be done there; she also celebrated her bestie Ali’s birthday in loving way.
In the main time, another special private show for Maroon 5was scheduled IN NEW YORK on January 31st (I guess Bee parents will be there too by then…), and while The Voice was still running, the opinions on Adam’s BIG day started to be a normal question in interviews for everyone related to him.
This note by The Voice host also explains what I meant when at the beginning of this recap I said the fact Adam got engaged was in many ways something he shouldn’t have done career wise, but if he did it means he REALLY wants to be with Behati forever.
A man of success with a fiancee of great success, too: what one could possibly want of more? 😉
Behati went to St. Barths to shoot for VS and she offered us flawless beauty and a clear view of her tattoo on the beach.
Look at her.. she’s always so luminous and happy…
A beauty who doesn’t take herself too seriously is such a rare gem, and this even more once she gets so famous at such a young age.
Behati got back in LA in time to celebrate Thanksgiving with Adam and his family, which is now also HER family; this Year no picture were slid out by no family members and I am happy this didn’t happen because it’s fair Bee and Adam let their private life stay… PRIVATE.
Some glimpse we got were actually by Behati herself but as usual all those were just very discreet and VERY goofy (like they are).
With December starting, the Year was about to get capped.
This is the time when practically all the Year End list come out; but before we get into details, let’s recap in a lil mish mash video what did happen in October and November, won’t we?
December first got immediately a good news: Criminal Ali Kavoussi, I.E. the one who has milked Adam’s fame to the maximum at any given chance, trying through him and his name to give relevancy to a couple of famewhores, has finally left Women NY Agency, leaving Behati free.
This is a wonderful news, so that we won’t see anymore him trying to milk her (and him) no more.
Further evidence that he is a dirty opportunist?
He made a shot he realized with Behati back when she was Adam free available for 7 Hollywood Magazine guess when? Just when her name, linked to Adam, was starting to become one of the most relevant in all media (after the VSFS).
This is the tacky shot (Behati still beautiful, but I despise that man so much I can’t fully appreciate anything that comes with his name onto; Adam hates him and he’s SO right in doing it):
Now that criminal Ali ain’t part of Women no more I can relax a bit: I still hope Behati goes to IMG, but I can live for a while more with her being with Women, once Women has left the trash outside.
December started then and Adam went to The Ellen Degeneres Show (I always love him there, because Ellen loves him dearly, like Kurt Sutter as well):
The interview was so adorable… I can so well picture Adam’s trials to Use Bee’s fingers to play a game (LOL), and in all this is so intimate and comfy... they are so… AWWWW 🙂
After the interview Adam and Maroon 5 had a LOVELY task to commit to: a private gig in Hawaii (where we were just stayed for OUR Thanksgiving time… Bee keeps following me ;)) and the girls were with the boys, enjoying Paradise 🙂 I love how they all get along 🙂
Behati then is a true tomboy... but even then she shines whenever with Adam – and she wears his absurd shirts way better than he does!
In those nights the Grammy nominations were given and as I expected no nods were for Maroon 5 this time, but PJ Morton got one 🙂
It’s okay, we will get it all with the Fifth Album out (and if he is not away to get married, I guess Adam will present some Award, and who knows, maybe dueting with someone… SARA BAREILLES?)
I am actually VERY pleased with the nominations, as you may have gotten from my Twitter feed: all my predictions and tastes for the 2013 in music got confirmed… because my taste is flawless, ya’ll! 🙂
Behati went then back to New York to keep working for the end of the Year; she shot lots of stuff, and went to the American Hustle Premiere with Shannan Click:
She is a friend since a life and I like the connection.
She was on Air With Ryan Seacrest to talk about the broadcast of the VSFS:
Always adorable in all her interviews, isn’t she?
Then who wouldn’t be excited to get married, and especially to Adam?
And she enjoyed the party with her girls when the show was aired.
This is how the show went:
And this is the mash up pre- and after the show:
Adam beside was also on Conan:
waiting for his lady to be back; but as after the party for the broadcast of the show she was working with VS, he thought about sending her SOME LOVE:
The pride he has is so touching!!!
And the flowers are, simply stunning.
I wish people would just accept his love for her…wholeheartedly, because she really makes him happy.
It’s VERY significant that Adam has favored only ONE tweet so far, and that tweet is linked to THIS paragraph, which speaks VOLUMES about how much he is in Love, and hates and gets sad when people hate on the woman he loves so much.
Please, read… and UNDERSTAND:
People should praise Behati, not hate on her…
Anyway: Adam said this about marriage:
Convinced?
I bet if you are believing trash, you won’t.
I pity you.
Adam is very happy and he doesn’t need anything else now that he has Behati, on this people all near to him agree.
Out of The VSFS airing, Behati got the most relevance, and her increase in popularity SURE had also to do with her supportive fiancée, but then she has a great merit on her own, because she is relevant since she’s a teenager, remember, for VS.
The usual array of articles related to the show were put out, and it’s hard to overlook the fact Behati is becoming household name.
Accept this too, because it will remain this way, folks 😉
Behati is also a very talented woman outside of the fact she is a great model.
She is a photographer, and actress (she got credited for her role in Hawaii 50 at least, unlike some other posers claiming they’re actresses ;)) and now she is also a stylist.
After all the months before they were just talking about the line in various magazines, finally now we can see and hear from Bee’s words directly what her This here very moment capsule collection stands for.
About the beautiful Interview of Behati for THVM capsule collection, three things stand out:
1) Behati is wonderfully talented and her style is just perfect, original and real, and her personality is the best ever;
2) Behati obtains her career achievements on HER OWN (this was also made when her and Adam were broken up, as she candidly reveals, and of course she ventured in fashion BEFORE him, so once again haters who claim always so stupidly she copycatted Adam are wrong as per usual);
3) Behati is a music soul who understands music deeply: and the fact she quoted LYKKE LI’s song I follow rivers in her line she created while PARTED from Adam is a marvelous evidence on the fact she is Adam’s soulmate.
To understand this, you need to listen to the lyrics of “I Follow Rivers”, watch the music video and then follow some of the meaning of the song, which I have posted after the video:
THESE are then the correct insights on the meaning of the song: remember Behati chose this when Adam was not with her anymore and remember also in that time, when Adam was bed-jumping from Nina Agdal through at least three more eagerly willing ladies, Behati NEVER tried to use his name to sell herself once.
She never ever used their failed link to gain relevance, titles, interviews or anything else: she respected him, even if what he was doing was hurting her heart filled with love for him, and throught this, throught her force, willpower, patience, respect and given freedom she got him back, because what she gave him especially in times of separation was still true and unbound love, and Adam never ever was loved the way Behati loves him.
Behati just waited for Adam to realize you can’t forget, much less leave a soulmate and be fine: that’s what made Adam sure she is the one, and that is what allowed him to get over his fears and disillusion about marriage and ask for Behati’s hand.
I find this all so wonderful to be honest.
It makes my heart tingle and be happy for them, even tho of course our worlds are never meant to collide.
I still a well wisher because Behati finally gifted Adam with what he was searching for all his life: a TRUE feeling of unconditional love and acceptance (because Bee knows all sides of Adam and ACCEPTS them, rather than trying to change them, which is also, just listen to all of his songs, something he had searched for all his life. And finally found it in her).
Take this last lil mash up video now:
As we said before, Adam may have not been nominated with Maroon 5 for ANY Grammy this Year but Maroon 5 certainly had the most beautiful 2013.
Billboard certified this in any possible way.
Any possible way. I am so proud as a fan of theirs…*sniff* 😉
Behati was not in Los Angeles when The Voice wrapped up (Adam won with his contestant) because she was in Tulum shooting for VOGUE SPAIN (can’t wait for it):
But as soon as she could she went back by her lover to spend Xmas holidays together, taking presents for the family from her Mexican time I guess ;).
She is so adorable even pigs look like fairies through her eyes 😉 and she can turn Bones into a reindeer with no effort, too 😉
Not much we know, except a few snaps testifying once more they are the perfect couple, and she holds on his family values perfectly, too (she will be a great role model for little Sam Levine’s girlfriend… aww):
Everyone freaked upon Bee’s post of wrapped up Adam… so cute!!! Of course us and the internet got mad, but this time in a sweet way.
It’s hard to hate on the most adorable couple, after a while you just cannot 😉
Everyone loving Adam cannot avoid to love Behati and to see how she is for real his soulmate; soulmates are a rarity… so I hope soon or later anyone will just accepts Bee for what she is: PERFECTION for Adam and in herself.
Maroon 5 are now in Las Vegas for their New Year’s gigs at Mandalay… I can’t say I regret not going because we are personally heading towards a stunning place for celebration so it wouldn’t be fair, but I am sure those who are there will have a precious time (and I guess after that like last year they will all lead for a couple days to Los Cabos? Maroon 5 have to be in Europe immediately after Epiphany tho).
So by now let’s just cap this post (It has been long and probably not very coherent but it was for real too much to recap six months…please understand!), and wish EVERYBODY a WONDERFUL 2014.
We are going to spend it in Nature and on The Beach…
See ya on Twitter and Instagram and who knows… maybe here too and not after 6 months again 😉
Missus Z. salutes ya’ll 😉

Good morning Universe!
Waking up soon (or sooner than yesterday ;))
So, last days of Olympic bliss (can’t wait for the closing Ceremony later tomorrow tonight… my sense of music spider are TINGLING and overexcited out of anticipation!) and a last couple more after in London town before heading to Summer Italian Seashores along K & our friends (whom have all skipped this amazing UK time, letting me stay only with K., his family and mine, beside that awesome bunch of days in AMAZING Scotland, which I will talk about in just a little.
What to say?
I am HAAAAAAAPPPPYYYYYY!!!!!
First year of marriage has been celebrated in such a romantic, original, very literary way.
Another one of Karim’s amazing presents to my life.
He just organized the PERFECT romantic getaway.
That was.
Perfection. 🙂
By now I shouldn’t marvel at the skill Karim has to read inside my mind and heart, always knowing what could emotion and surprise me the most… instead I always do.
Because each time he finds new ways to break my hearts in thousands of sparkling lights that keep burning forever, erasing darkness.
He took me in beautiful Scotland for our One Year Anniversary.
We visited Sir Walter Scott‘s places, because he knows I adore Scott, Ivanhoe, and I always love to picture Tolkien’s Lord Of the Rings in these landscapes.
We went visiting Skye, and we climbed mountains, and sailed cold Seas…
We composed our own poetry, we revived our marriage one year later, we learnt how to read sky’s moodied layers, we composed a song of our own, and we had some of the best sex ever (and you know we do that all of the time… so it’s always hard to beat ourselves out ;)).
There was magic… magic all around for us these days.
I am so grateful and so in love and I feel so well accepted with all my strange sides that I feel… so safe.
So in my own place.
I love my husband with all I have to call mine.
I never thought for ages I could have been “one of those soppy wives” gushing all over their love.
But ehi… that’s what I am too now 😉
Deal 😉
(I still way sexier than any of you… and way kinkier, too ;)).
But so many great news are on the desk… and since I have this slice of time I better collect up feelings and describe them along my preferences and likes.
Which is basically the reason I am keeping up with this blog still.
The first thing is that Olympics are AMAZING.
I love the feeling.
Even when like yesterday we picked (again) the wrong game to follow live (volley semifinal for men: Brazil destroyed Italy in a blink) in spite of the other choice, which was victorious (in the WaterPolo semifinal, Italy got it over Serbia instead, with a fantastic game).
Everything about it… I adore sports, I have practiced and still many of them everywhere I go (I mean… I brought my horse Swifty along in England because I couldn’t stay away from him this long… it means a lot or doesn’t it? Even though my Swifty is just so much more than a medium to practice sport) and I am the most competitive person you could cross so obviously all Olympics meanings and values are something I feel deep inside.
The effort it takes to be a great performer; the devotion; the focus, the determination… all these are values I strongly rate in my life.
But as much as I love and strive to be a winner, what I love also about Olympics is the humanity of it.
The stories of failures… too.
It’s just that I cherish the failures which are still informed by the RIGHT spirit of sport.
I despise all tricks, and doping and all that goes as on behind the curtains so that somebody not fit can cheat over the results. That is something that makes me thunder out.
You can’t cheat if you are up for sports…
I mean the whole purpose of it is making yourself getting better through competition, but it’s more than anything a game with yourself, not the world!
What cheating does stand for?
Lies. Just lies. To yourself. And there’s nothing worse than it.
And sadly, the stories at Olympics aren’t always great, they can’t be, regarding this attitude towards sports:
You know… for me if you dope yourself, you gotta be DISQUALIFIED from EVERYTHING and FOREVER (no redeem sporty-speaking), and this is what I think and believe in.
STILL.
Humanly instead, I think Alex Schwazer needs all help and support because this is what happens when you are forced to do sports NOT WILLING IT.
Life and sport when unified request an incredible strength and super mind… and not everyone can have.
I am feeling for this guy humanly and I hope he gets help. He was not meant to compete, and it’s a tragedy he had to just because he had talent, because he didn’t want that life, even if everybody thought he was perfect for it.
Not everyone can be as shining as this woman (IDOL!!!! SHE should have carried Italy’s flag, not dreadful awful Valentina Vezzali, queen of fakes!) Listen to Josefa Idem:
This woman is all I stand for in sport: 8th Olympics, and she had again proved mind and sacrifice in sports CAN ALL AND MORE, but you gotta love what you do, not being forced to it.
Beside the tragedy in the Italian Swimming team (fire all the techs), I think this has been a fairly good Olympic for Italy.
Karim is pretty happy too, and I have again to thank him and his connections for meeting the whole Swimming and Gymnastic teams of USA (some are really cool guys), and even if we did miss meeting the GREAT Usain Bolt, I have recovered from that because now I have LORDS as friends (yes, I have, and I have also met some true Japanese Geishas… which lead to so great fun and… Knowledge 😉 and I’ll stop it here).
But that isn’t the only GREAT sport mindset we are in now.
Because you know I planned to follow Basket in the Olympics to watch Kobe and even though I still don’t like the fact bringing NBA Pro in the competition makes it a snoozefest full of irrelevancy from the agonist point of view, you may guess still any chance to witness Kobe (and Kevin Durant!!!) makes me happy.
And it did… the Final of Basketball tournament was the main reason I wanted to come to the Olympics 😉 so that ticket was in our hands even before we planned which days we would have properly stayed over here 😉
Prior to some days ago regarding basketball I was feeling medium satisfied; I was ecstatic about Steve Nash joining us Lakers but I was still on the fence for more, because that couldn’t have been enough.
I am always very fair in my descriptions about Lakers.
I am a die-hard fan but I can also analyze facts and until a lil lil lil while ago, I was still thinking that we were way behind OKC and some other teams in a rank of NBA favs.
Of course all things can switch but the premises were still unperfect and shaky to me.
That is PAST.
Truly past.
Because two days ago… Lakers just became again NBA favourite.
What was it? (it’s a plaaaaaane…. it’s a biiiirdddd. it’s….)…
It’s all because of THIS (hear me scream and scream and scream and go all whooooooo-hoooo!):
Yessssssssirrrrrr!!! Dwight Howard is a Laker, and bye bye Andrew Bynum, we wish you all the best, but THIS is what we truly needed.
We still have no coach because Mike Brown is a senseless idiot who gets NOTHING about this game but who cares when you have Kobe&Steve in your team, who are way better coaches than him?
Wow.
I can’t wait for the meltdowns and allegedly I am not the only one:
WOW.
This truly is huge indeed.
Dwight can provide energy and penetration, in a way that could go amazingly with Pau’s game.
And since Kobe IS getting older (you can’t stop time, no matter how immense you are) this is something that can help all the team in finding just about one trillion more arrows at our bow.
I can’t wait to witness (also live, as some trips in LA are in order of course) also live all this greatness.
And while we are on the subject of greatness… how awesome has the world being regarding Maroon 5 lately?
It’s all so smooooooooth over there.
Sales are very consistent, and the general perception is really nice overall.
Not that I care what others think, but sure THEY do, and we all know somebody strives so much for success he lives like a deprive any negative turn (it comes from his competitiveness, which I so strongly relate with).
Guys are just in to ready their South American Tour; Overexposed still selling AMAZINGLY while they are doing ZERO promotion , One More Night is ready to smash (still with zero promotion) and all the various projects of JJAMZ and all the stuff acting-related Adam is currently involved in are going smoothly.
(yes, I know that there is still also The Fuckery that thing going on but you also know I will never talk about that trash, and considering how the Muppets parodies even don’t contemplate Adam these days, I am sure this painful link is really ending soon, and I couldn’t be happier. Adam is so much more than a reality karaoke show “star”, and I get that gave him back popularity, but now it’s time to stop having to suffer such bad television to climb back and gain audience. he already did it. Leave the trash now, thank you).
So, no Trash Talk here… instead I am SO awaiting for Adam in American Horror Story!!!
You know how I had guessed he’d have hooked up for sure with his casting partner who was going to play Theresa, his “wife” in the script…
Well I guess NOT, because although that girl is beautiful and he sure would have tried his ways under other circumstances… that girl is also MARRIED to Channing Tatum 😉 and she’s Jenna Dewan (they all follow each other on twitter too).
I don’t think anybody would upset Channing purposedly 😉
Ryan Murphy now is on twitter and he’s sending updates from the set, in a very cute way.
All seems just so perfect and I can’t wait to see it all 🙂
I am sure though the casting of Theresa anyway took a spin on the direction of “no girl Adam could hook up with” for some reason, the main being that ADAM LEVINE IS FREAKINGLY HAPPILY COUPLED and doesn’t need sexual incentives beside the ones his super hot girlfriend certainly has in the bag to provide 😉
I know you want to see… and did you know she loves to be a freak? 😉
This girl is so gorgeous with that AMAZING and so originally unique face, and so sexy and spunky I am sure they have the best sexual romps (is it strange that it’s already happened TWO TIMES that when they were together a MASSIVE Earthquake happenedand unlike in the past
Adam didn’t acknowledged any of them two on Twitter? I think NOT. They probably were having the best sex and the fact ground was moving wasn’t perceived, as the room probably ALWAYS shake when they are in ;))
Because YOU KNOW that you gotta be really good and VERY kinky in bed to not only please Adam, but to make him stay with you all along… (listen to his songs, or the Animal song by The Cab that ADAM wrote… and you get the picture ;)).
There is no way something that has seen him involved for practically 3 months (or are they 4?) straight and continuously isn’t at least WAY more than just a hookup.
We are certainly in the relationship territory now… and this means nothing regarding the duration of it, but we have for sure passed the testing phase.
This allegedly is causing an endless hate towards poor Behati… like it always happens with all girls who start to be Adam’s one though.
This time around though, the hate this girl gets is empowered by the fact many of the haters are people who just cannot move on from Adam’s previous girlfriend image.
Too bad… because Adam did and it’s not healthy or good or smart or right for anyone keep thinkin a past that ended for a long series of mattering reasons can come back.
It won’t.
They have cut all ties so long ago and don’t have any surviving contact between them… they sure have been very much in love at some point with one another but that wasn’t enough to make them last.
Adam and Anne are PAST.
Face this and stop torture them with nonsense, hatred, or pressuring requests to get back together or (in Adam’s case, as Anne still single) to ditch new loves just because “fans” (?) cannot accept life moves and so should they.
Were they beautiful as a couple?
Sure.
Were they happy?
At some point, sure they have been, clearly.
Were they happy in between post VS Fashion Show 2011 and 2012?
NEVER.
They were just not.
They were soooo done.
It was painful and bad and sad and all you want (don’t tell me, I shipped that couple as hard as possible, I have loved them together majorly and always, but that doesn’t mean my opinion matters in absolute, you know…), but they separated because they just were not right for each other: Anne loved her work more than she ever loved (I am sure she did love him a lot too though, or she wouldn’t have hoped for a marriage ring from him) Adam (at least she never spent with him the time he needed her to spend with him to be satisfied and fully happy and not frustrated and alone, moved towards cheating also probably) and Adam also loved her, but never enough to give her what she wanted (a RING, a promise of forever and happy ever afters, and all the things Anne wanted and surely all the things she will soon find with someone else, but that she was very naive to try to obtain from somebody she was barely spending 20% of her time with yearly) to get.
In the end… a great love story which couldn’t be anything more than a beautiful interlude in their lives.
Adam has all the rights to be happy with his new galpal without having ordeals of idiots blasting him or her because of whatever reason which live just in the weakened and freaky minds of the haters themselves.
Move on already?
Everyone else has, Anne included: even though she is stills single (all the fake reports about guys she was supposedly seen so far are just PR spins, obviously), she has no feelings left at all for Adam, she doesn’t mind what he does and doesn’t even know about that (tweets are muted between them I can bet they are) and I am sure the next hot famous guy she is ready to date and show up with is just round the corner and she will be happy coupled again too, and soon (and hopefully with someone who won’t suffer her repeated absences for work… I am sure she will find a soulmate whom will just be perfect for her lifestyle, and I wish her that, because I still believe she is a good person and that she has a good heart).
Just MOVE ON and stop bashing Behati because of past girlfriend’s reasons.
It’s STUPID and senseless and it makes you look foolish.
Anyway… Back to Bee…
Yes ladies and gents.
The amazing Summer Love of 2012 (which actually started way into Spring… if all has to be trusted, Adam and Behati hooked up in the second half of April 2012 at a Coachella party he wasn’t even supposed to attend 😉 Called it… Destiny?) keeps going strong.
And lovely.
Officially they are together since three months (second week of May 2012), but UNOFFICIALLY they have started to romp on each other’s superbly structured bones since second half of April 2012, which means by now they are around their 4th month together.
4 months when they have been together, I repeat MOST OF THE TIME, because Behati knows what a girlfriend with great foresight does, and uses all of her spare time to be with him, wasting none (I would too, because you know, I love sex and they do that when together, not when being apart. I think it’d be strange to miss opportunities there, right? I know this didn’t always happened with some previous ladies, but maybe they were not that sexually hungry as Adam would request and like and favor? I wouldn’t risk him to stray away if I didn’t provide the business, you know… because he will always satisfy his sexual crave, that’s a fact. But again, I guess you have to be perceptive and sexually competent to understand that, or maybe just being as much as he is into sex, which is not a taste of everybody, I know – being myself a quite HUGE sexual craver -.. ;)).
This may sound unusual to the mass of teens bashing Bee just because she is with Adam now… but wake up little girls the fact is a relationship which is true and worthy cannot last without a REALLY intense sexual activity.
Or (and this ALSO is a fact) in Adam’s world there is no way it can, because for him sex is like a daily need.
Not romantic?
Contrariwise 😉 I can’t think of anything better… if you get what I mean ;).
Anyway…
Behati is always by Adam’s side when not working for VS, being involved in promotions and photo shoots or shooting for her own personal advertising campaigns (Seafolly, Juicy Couture, just to name the latest), and although she loves her work she is far from defined just by the fact to be a model.
She has always stated she doesn’t really care that much about being a model and she never wanted to be one… it happened because she has the PERFECT feature for modeling (5′ 11” height, a very slick frame, the longest legs, and a face which is just SO unique and original which separates her immediately from the rest, because it’s not easy to find those proportions at all and make them look fascinating).
Behati probably finds time for her man because she thinks that love comes before work, and love means you want to be physically with your man, not connected through tweets or thoughts or a webcam…
And I have a hard time disagreeing with her there 😉 because well… that’s TRUE (but again maybe that involves also to like sex a lot, and not anybody does ;)).
But really… it’s just a matter of different personalities.
I don’t wanna make you think that I think people should ditch their passions for love.
If somebody has always dreamed to be a model, a swimmer… an astronaut there is nothing wrong in having that conflicting with your relationship and in the end there is NO fault if you prefer the passion to the relationship… Passion has no rules, it just happens and my point is that if something else detracts all of your time from your relationship… maybe that is not worthy for you in the first place?
I am just glad Behati has many passions, but it seems none of them has the power to detach her from Adam at the moment (it’s her personality, because also with her previous boyfriend Behati was like this, and this makes me happy because this is exactly what Adam needs: somebody who is into human touch as much as he is and deserves).
This makes me happy, that Adam has found somebody full of passions (as he is) but somebody who at the same time runs for him and to him to never let him being alone.
He HATES being left alone… he always said it and keeps stating it.
Behati in fact also loves music to death, and she always did… she is also pretty educated in how to make sexy music videos so… I wouldn’t mind to see her in Maroon 5 one. She certainly knows how to work the camera along notes, and how to be super sexy and kick-assing while doing it (this is her in one of my fav songs from 2008/2009, The Virgins’ “Rich Girls”. Note that she was a teenage there. A SUPER-HOT one there 😉
Then I mean… she’s an original and true VS Angel, baby… her wings are real ;):
Also the fact she has a contract with VS is pretty helpful to let her have much time… because often that contract has clauses of exclusivity (and a paycheck) that makes you unwilling to get jobs that may NOT please the brand that covers you with money.
Which is perfect at the moment 😉
Behati loves sport (and her fav sport is basketball… linking to the previous note about Adam’s Lakers obsession, we are sure she has nothing to learn about the game, so in case of courtside presence he wouldn’t have to explain a thing to her and she’d be genuinely involved as much as he would), she is playful and it seems that she loves videogames just like ALL the nerds in Adam’s crew (and just as him, who’s a devoted game player and can get SO into them to become annoying even ;)).
Behati now follows and is followed by ALL of Adam’s personal crew; his longest friends, their wives/girlfriends.
She seems to be loved also by Adam’s family, and that has most certainly to do with the fact ANY TIME she is with him she goes silent, doesn’t tweet personal pics of their love and their houses, she is just into the life without needing to overexpose it, preserving Adam’s privacy like no other has ever done (and think she is with him at a fame peak NOBODY has experienced before her… so she could REALLY milk it so much if he just tried to.), showing genuine care and respect for all that Adam’s life is.
Because truth is… Adam and his family and his inner crew are VERY PRIVATE PERSONS.
They have always been and it’s natural for them to like somebody in their own circle who has the same attitude towards privacy (sure people can be different… but you tend to like more people in your inner life circle who have your same attitude towards some kind of important issues as these right? It’s logical).
Behati is just like them.
She highly values privacy in her own life and in this the two just match perfectly, it’s undeniable.
They don’t like to live for others to see that; there is a bounder about that and Adam has always been clear about this in all of his speeches since I have memory of him.
Behati and Adam won’t be showing off their own link any time soon.
Get used to the idea, they won’t.
And this regardless all the crap they have to suffer out from retarded press spins from retarded people who just can’t avoid to be sore losers and hopeless frustrated no-life entities.
Yes, because of course the fact that she and Adam are a (very happy, and you can guess it by Adam’s mood which is amazingly shining since he got with her, being all humorous, exuberant, fresh and all around shining up) a couple has generated lots of hatred towards poor Behati, as I pointed out above.
The amazing fact is that she couldn’t give a SHIT about it, and she carries on being herself and not minding at all, and taking care only of what she and Adam share without feeling the need to explain to others what is that they have, just to make people eat up their retarded words or guesses.
This shows FORCE, mind power and moreover this shows how much she truly takes care and love and respect Adam first, and is not there with him to gain something for herself.
I love this and her.
Let’s recap a bit what drove me to this little explanation, because in all this the thing that SHINES truly the most to my eyes is how AWESOME Behati Prinsloo is as Adam’s better half.
Truly… this girl is fantastic, I LOVE her personality and balls to no end, and although I keep (and I will keep also in the incoming times) strive that this is for now just a very young bound and love connection nobody should stress or obsess over, I can’t avoid to notice all that scream “amazingly fitting couple” in every step these two makes, each weeks that passes, more and more.
Sure it may end any time (like anything else), but one thing is for sure and that it is a true kind of interest this couple shares, and they do for themselves and NOT for the camera, the press, the PRs, or the career perks.
This already makes it all A GREAT THING.
A thing that I personally really like and support, even though of course it’s only their life, their relationship, their biz, their own thing.
But let’s being a bit clearer.
We knew Bee was in New York filming for Victoria’s secret commercials in the crossing days from July to August: she always tweets from those things and she did, (getting us to know her beautiful work without being annoying for it) but we also got that she was telling Adam’s crew (Shawn and Gene and Noah) that she was just about to get back there in Los Angeles (where Adam was crazily busy filming both AHS and The Fuckery That thing.
By now it should be clear enough for even not that smart people that Behati and Adam WON’T publicize their romance for the crowd.
Adam never liked that. He’s very private and the fact he was forced to not be in the previous relationship doesn’t mean he loved it. It means he used to love the one forcing him to parade that love.
But now he finally is with somebody as reserved as he is about private life so they simply don’t tweet about their own business.
Which of course doesn’t mean AT ALL they don’t have business (the best kind of it).
They simply probably prefers to fuck the shit out of one another all the time instead of tweeting one another while they are apart or/and together.
I don’t know about you… but this screams HEALTHY and HAPPY relationship to me, if any ;).
Well, since the fact the couple was together in Lake Tahoe gig time just a week before wasn’t a thing for tabloids (again, just because Behati doesn’t give a shit about her fame being enlarged through Adam), some bright IDIOT from a totally loser spin site ( The Voice Wet paint, a collection of no-news from the interweb, made probably by 12 years old, or somebody way older but with even a less developed brain-size… like for instance some Bieber-lover) decided on August 4 to spin some SuperRetarded “guesses”, starting from… keep yourselves held well… TWEETS NOT DIRECTED TO ANYBODY.
Wow.
Sherlock Holmes is probably trying hard to find this Rachel McRady chick because he sure would replace Watson with her.
Stupidity of people amazes me.
The one of this retarded “writer” who’s not even smart enough to realize her own lack of sense, but even better, all the people who actually gave any kind of CREDIT to that “guess”.
Like Adam would ever direct anything like that let alone to his current cherished beautiful girlfriend… but even to anybody he only slept with for a one-night stand.
Or like Behati (who quotes Dr. Seuss since a life, in completely unrelated ways to her own life) would ever post such personal stuff on Twitter, moreover starting from the premise this time around their relationship is TOTALLY PRIVATE and they are not there for updating the crowds on that, first and foremost.
I know many post pubescent fanbases have no clues on real Adam’s personality and they think he’s there to update them on his likes (or that he should, even) and they skill of analyzing facts with some decent thought processing is fatally reduced by their age and awful taste… but REALLY?
WetPaint is about as credible as that other joke site called “Celebrity Networth” which guesses from blogs and random unchecked news the amount of money possessed by famous people, having stated in their site that they do, “BUT THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE” (for the record, Adam Levine’s supposed networth there is around only 15 Millions, which I think he passed in around 2005 😉 LOL… and people do believe that? They probably don’t know how much taxes he pays… because if they did… they would laugh at that figure 😉 ).
They just need to generate web traffic through cut&pasting the worst trash they find on web, whenever the site needs a boost to please basic advertisers.
That regardless of the value and testability of the “news”.
But back at our Behati&Adam gate.
Well, on August 4 Behati was already in LA (her tweet about American Airlines, criptic for most, was clear for me because I have a great friend who happens to work at LAX… and that was a late flight from NY to LA she was up in ;)).
She could have tweeted anything to make clear how much all those guesses were fake (she was bombed with many obnoxious tweets from many retards, and sure she had perception of at least a couple of them); she could have done lots of things to just silence it all, instead of having rallies of hateful spits on her from the webwaves (people have to have such a bad life when they need to bad-mouth somebody they don’t know behind a pc screen… how low-level your existence have to be then?).
But the point, the amazing point, is that she DID NOT.
She carried on being all the time with Adam and NEVER tweeting a single thing.
World Wide Champion, Bee. Number One indeed 🙂
I love her for this.
So much.
She’s brave, and strong in her love and in her man.
Adam too is the same, because just the day after one of his best friends, Milo DeCruz (the biker bassist who’s all and always with him) tweeted Bee “Tok Tok”, like somebody knocking on the door… but ten seconds later, according to my friends in LA, that tweet disappeared and I can BET MY LIFE Adam asked for that, like “Man, don’t let losers know that we are happy… they don’t deserve to. And we don’t care. We want privacy just”.
Only a couple days after, we knew for sure they were together just because (like he does every time) Adam stopped with his beautiful Angel at his favorite Mustard Cafe, and even thought he tried to sneak away from the back with her, papz caught them:
I was so happy about all things here, so many great things: Behati is so fresh faced, no make up, flawless rock chic look (which is not forced and so natural in her); she has THE BEST LEGS (and legs are Adam’s fav female feature, and hers are… perfect!); she keeps hiding behind him and being only focused in him… look the way she embraces him, so lovely and pure…
They are SO cute together and she always has the most sincere care for him first.
Behati also is just like him in the “I won’t dress up if not forced” department.
She has allergia and allegedly a need for ice cream and medicine.. so they went grocery shopping.
We knew that from Adam’s tweeting a picture the other day that they had ventured grocery shopping, and he posted this:
well, now we know they went into Gelson’s (my own one too!!!) with Bee looking clearly under the blast of allergia (I am allergic and a doctor so I must know that face screams it).
They were both wearing things like they had just jumped off bed (and they surely have to use that beautiful bed he has in his pad…); clearly unfazed by the fact that pap they had to find at night at Gelsons (look at Adam… he is like “Really? even here? Don’t you have a life you loser?”) was going to snap them (and her especially) in the most unflattering combo ever.
Behati’s reaction?
UNEXISTANT.
She is all into Adam taking that picture you have seen above and not tweeting it herself, but letting him doing it.
She is so natural and true and trust me… she looks beautiful even with messy hair, and the face of allergia…
She didn’t plan to go out and she was forced to by sympthomes… she knows she’s got papped and that she would probably be seen not at her best and what she does? she DOESN’T CARE because she’s with Adam and he’s all of her world.
He doesn’t care either… they are so sweet coming off from the store… I can imagine him cuddling her with the syrup and singing sweet nothings to heal her.
That is a healthy relationship, and I am happy I got to see till which point, even if it’s NOT MY BUSINESS at all still 😉
Sorry for all the haters who cannot get how great all this is.
You are probably very poor mindset 12 years old, or somebody who likes Twilight or Bieber or 50 Shades of Crap (I think I have summoned up the worst of tastes in the whole world with that).
I adore the fact Adam and Behati are so VERY rock’n’roll and they BOTH have the “I don’t give a shit” attitude.
Adam hates as well to dress up unless on occasions (and you know how I think he looks simply PERFECT when polished… but still this isn’t his way, it’s mine, so it’s great he has found somebody as beautiful as he is, who still doesn’t really spend ages in prettifying herself and prefers the “very natural look”, just like she did on the bike ride)… look this video… it’s so sweet:
I am so happy for Adam for finding someone like Behati out of the mess that was the painfully bad way to end the previous link, a link that already left him dried because he was never almost with the object of his love, due to the fact she would have done all of other things first, and only once in a while she would have cared to be with him, if schedule had allowed.
Behati has erased all of his pain, all of his tears, and since I have seen that tweet “Hug life” of him in London (she was aside) on July 1st I was sure she was for real an Angel to him, giving to him all of her time and attention, and stealing none for her own self.
Adam is so carefree and happy these days… I don’t get how anybody claiming to be his fans cannot be glad for that, and thankful to beautiful Behati for providing him happiness, peace, (lots of raw and young sex romance, laugh, energy and everything he is clearly full of these days), and this beautiful sights he has on life right now.
He sounds clearly so joyous, but at the same time he’s not anymore trying to be somebody he’s not to please somebody else.
Just remember that tweet in January, so revealing, about the need of being your true self.
That Adam was so unhappy and trapped in a toxic link… this Adam instead is newly himself, crazy, flamboyant, positive, overenergized, funny… and a dork.
And all this freedom of being himself he feels he has again now… comes from being accepted for who he truly is by Behati.
You may not like this fact… but it shines clearly all the time to me instead.
I so hope this goes on and I am sure all indicates that it can and it would naturally and very easily, if nothing happens of negative suddenly.
Remember… it’s actually 4 months that they are together… and very very OFTEN together.
It seems by now Adam is also more oriented in letting people know; not that he will ever get back to what he was forced to for two years, parading all of his stuff to the public; but I am sure we will get to see occasional gateways of the rocker lovers more often from now on.
And I am also sure none of them will be called up by ANY of them though (so expect more Gelson’s style like awkwardely natural but funny pics ;)… know none of Adam or Behati will care if you think they look “messy” or not properly done… a market at night isn’t a catwalk, and sometimes necessity doesn’t even allow you to look brushed ;)).
Of course, nobody knows, but I bless Behati Prinsloo… The Angel Of Summer Love and Bliss, already, for all that she has ALREADY done of amazing for him.
She may be hated by tons of retards and losers… but she better know that there are people who genuinely like her and are there to see how sparkling she is.
Beside Adam, I mean ;).
Adam who also went modeling while with her in New York in July (remember that strange shirt with the graphics he had put on… see where he got that from below) for the incoming September issue of Inked Magazine (which I have already ordered to be delivered, of course):
Behati was there that day along Noah Passovoy and his girlfriend Liz, but of course and again, you don’t see her trying to steal some spotlight ;).
That isn’t the only cover shot he has done… there is an incoming cover for Men’s Fitness too which will be revealed soon ;).
and…
Some charity work Maroon 5 are involved with and also the Teachers Rock Special Adam has taken part which will be broadcasted on CBS on August 18th…
A 50 Cent collaboration on his upcoming album Street King Immortal, out reportedly on November 13th.
I am so happy regarding Maroon 5 Universe as of late (still spin Overexposed daily) that I have decided to post something special (I have reworked it to not make it easy to use it… if you want the total real HD thing, BUY the Special SAJ Ten anniversary Edition, and make the guys even richer ;)):
The level of cuteness is uncountable 😉
(and I cannot wait to have Jesse on board again…).
I also want you all to bless Mumford and Sons, and their return (buy everything again ;)):
What else?
Well…
I am sure I wrote enough.
Now let’s let August pass ;)… I’ll be soon skinny dipping in a dream-like sea along with friends and always happy and in love with best husband in the world.
*imagine freely all kinds of sexually jawdropping practices*
*cos you imagine them… but we DO them* 😉
Happy Summer Of Love 😉
Missus Z. 🙂
LeBron got half a ring, Italy saved its football face, Overexposed is surprisingly good and true and Florence was awesome

G… goooo…
Good afternoon and Sunday Universe!
Summer shines on (or burns you out, depends on which town you are at in this moment…), the slow yet hectic rhythms of the Great Season of Tan are starting to take over, splitting days and nights in two very differently paced realities, and I keep feeling so well and happy and in love.
In a little while we’ll be celebrating a year long marriage: it’s been a pure bliss, and I am very grateful for it.
We just had a wonderful sex time on my boat and that is the best way to be sweaty in Summer right? 😉
We are moving back from Liguria, where we spent the weekend wandering over coasts, to Milano because… well… in a bunch of hours there is the Final of Euro 2012 and ITALY is THERE!!!! (more on that later ;)).
The more Sun makes day long, the more I am active so I am not suffering all these short trips, and the change of sights because I am always super energetic in this part of the Year that I simply access to a seemingly infinite bucket of power ;).
And then amazing things keep happen to me; for instance I am now followed on Twitter by Maria Latella!!! (really? awesome ;)) and friends are making a mountain out of this (I won’t be in the limelight ANY time soon… better, I won’t EVER be in the limelight, but they keep telling the days of my super exposure are seemingly coming. *sigh*. I still will be a reclusive super rich kid no matter what, deal with it, thank you, on both sides of Atlantic. I am NOT into fame, sorry 😉 I prefer a good life ;)).
Then the other night we had the blissful chance to share air with the Dalai Lama who has been in Milano; thanks to Karim’s and my family’s personal ties we could attend a special event… it’s my second time witnessing the greatness that the Dalai Lama is and I can’t express… the man exudes purity and sanctity.
I feel… so innerly touched by him.
We have spent a couple of days in beautiful Florence last week instead (we came back this Monday actually because both K&I had work to do there); we got to hang out with our local crew there, and we always have so much fun that way, and we are even starting to develop a Florentinian attitude they say (well, Karim was already good with that: it’s me actually stepping up my game of witty and sarcastic humor, with a side of charming vitriolic shades ;)).
In Florence past weekend we witnessed San Giovanni’s fireworks from a Settignano villa; but being the day of Italy vs England (VICTORIOUS) Euro 2012 game, we skipped most of the anticipation for the pyrotechnical spectaculum in favor of a very loud football cheering.
You know how critical I was at first in this tournament of the NON game of our Italian team, but honestly against England we just DID DESERVE 1000%, and from there I have re-qualified everybody in the squad. Everybody.
I don’t know how we managed later to even DEFEAT MAJESTICALLY the German panzers (the team that I thought would have won it all hands down) but darn we TOTALLY did it and it was epic and we partied all the way back from my parental house towards Milan in the night between Thursday and Friday chanting our asses off like it were no tomorrow 😉
It was AMAZING and now I don’t want to swirl hopes up but you know… WE Have Chances. At least.;).
We are now moving to our house so that we can have THE GREATEST VIEWING PARTY EVER for the Final that we are about to play against Spain…
We all hope we will spend the night out in Milan carouseling again but you never know. You can only hope 🙂
That sporty satisfaction healed me from the tragedy occurred that Le Bronze King Of Overrate James finally won a NBA ring.
Except that he won just HALF of it, being this specific league ring out from half a season.
This is the way I keep avoiding to rage about Miami win.
And I am not even against Miami; I am VERY happy for Wade; in fact I would be happy they won if this wasn’t part of the FakeKing hype train machine.
Wade made Miami won; Wade kept them on track with his class and leadership when Bronzey was flopping; but of course the hype is all on the Monkey’s shrine.
It makes me sick :/.
But ehi… Wimbledon started (with some surprises, like Nadal’s sudden and fast loss), I will be following live from Uk the Olympics (and throw bad wishes LIVE to Bronzey, while admiring Kobe, Kevin and CP3 and Wade) and sport is just too awesome to be carried up and on with heavy hearts right?
Right 😉
I am sure by now all of my long-time readers have already decoded that I have filled this post with Maroon 5 related pictures (which I wasn’t used to since when Mr. Adam Levine betrayed my faith in his artistry signing up for The Fuckery The Voice, abandoning an European Tour that was JUST to touch Italy (twice, actually, as also in the rescheduled date last November his sudden “voice trouble” strangely was perfectly timed with The Voice taping… *ewwwwww* -__-).
Are you shocked?
I know that by now you are wondering IF.
IF I have heard it (you know if you follow my twitter I have…).
IF I own it (Sure… I do and I will again have multiple versions out by hard copies and iTunes versions, as well: I kept buyin ALL of their stuff and also collectors hard copies even when I have been at the peak of my complete dislike of Adam, due to that choice he made about his career that I STILL dislike; I did because his voice for me STILL BE A MIRACLE, and it will always have that influence of miracle-related epiphany to me).
IF I like it.
And I am of course talking about Overexposed, the new Adam Levine’s solo album Maroon 5 record.
Well, you all know how displeased I was with Moves Like Jagger; how much I hated (and STILL hate the concept of) the fact they let other people step into writing along them, outside of the band; you know I was more than against the full on turning pop, which I felt and still feel as a poisoning derived output from The Fuckery that awful karaoke tv show The Voice.
All this all still values, all these are concepts I still have in me… but then I heard the record and it was beyond me… I LIKED it.
Straight up to, too.
I actually properly LOVE it in most part, because it’s SO INCREDIBLY HONEST AND TRUE.
There are flawless songs in there… most notably, there are a few gems which are TRUE Maroon 5 because they are truly out straight from Adam’s soul.
Firs evidence: Sad; second one: The Man Who Never Lied, then Beautiful Goodbye, and Love Somebody (oh, boy… Adam Levine’s Love Inclination in a nutshell!!).
Those songs… those songs have such a power on me because (as the whole album is actually, but those especially) they are real; and when pop meets real… I’m fine with it, you know it.
I am actually so surprised this album clicked so majorly with me.
What was scary to me was the fact I feared Maroon 5 and Adam’s truthfulness about their music would have been compromised by merging with Blanco, Tedder, Max Martin & Co: but you listen to the record and if you know what (WHO) that is written about, and what they lived… then you can place each song in a real human landscape and that makes that glistening, bubbly, simple pop sounds something other and more.
Yes, Overexposed traces all that has been lived between Adam Levine and Anne V, even if not all the songs are about her (only Jane Herman could have had an entire record dedicated to herself and obviously, being still the only one Adam TRULY loved with all of his teenage, unprepared and pure heart).
It’s so obvious and clear that the most special songs are about Adam’s ex girlfriend though that only a retarded would deny it.
Adam is out of the haze of that failed relationship, and this article in the Sun helps understands how well (he’s happily coupled again, we all know, with adorable and super rock Behati Prinsloo and what I love the most is how quiet and out of paparazzi calling Behati is being since she started being his official girlfriend, one month and a half ago):
Anyway after listening to the songs in Overexposed, maybe also pushed by the super involved reactions of my – female – friends, I can’t help but feel sorry for how Adam and Anne went unlucky with their feelings for one another.
It’s painful that beautiful-ness had to end because it couldn’t go on, given the two different meanings Adam and Anne had inside themselves regarding what a Love Relationship gotta be.
For Adam, it’s clear, Love doesn’t involve a ring need; Love is something huge and immense, but not something you can promise forever before the time of forever arrives (I am near to that concept, even though I am married, so I get him and I can see where all that comes from).
For Anne, and that broke them (but you can’t blame her if that is what she believes in), Love is a Marriage bound thing that HAS to produce a stable and declared commitment (her family never divorced so her image of marriage is way different than what Adam’s had to endure).
Listening to the album I actually felt regret for having thought they broke up viciously and for having believed she cut off with him maliciously (he probably knew about the statement she would have given to People, though I still believe Anne’s camp tried to milk out all the press she could have gotten in a not fair and opportunistic way after the break-up, and still for many weeks after that); they sure had massive fights and that never really was confessed for how bad it went to the world (well until now with the record at least), but sure they both had to suffer when realizing they couldn’t do anything else than break up, because neither of them could change what they really wanted out from their relationship to move forward to.
When I listen in row to Sad and Beautiful Goodbye (that might have been written when they last spent a good night together, and Adam knew already it would have been their last, even if the thing in a way progressed after for a while?) through the random feature of Overexposed in the iPod… I can’t take it.
I start always to sob a little.
That’s the AWESOME POWER OF TRUE MUSIC ART and since Maroon 5 and Adam there proved me they still HAVE IT, I can’t avoid to declare myself once again a fan.
It wasn’t easy to buy me back… and I would have NEVER believed they would have with THIS kind of album but in the end… it happened, and it’s quite a shock for me, first and foremost.
It’s so heavy to know that; it gives multiple degrees of despair to paint Overexposed with; and it makes the record so much more than bubble gum listening super pop (which it still be at a superficial listening).
The crew have come with their usual debates about the record; but none of us reached the perfection of Angel Meli conclusions so I will post HER reviews, and various insights she gave about for instance the video of One More Night (which I find amazing)… because nobody could do better.
We all know we contributed with our numerous debates to Meli’s craft in perfect review territory (and it’s since last Friday we are debating Overexposed from town to town, and with lots of passion) and I always tingle and get stupidely proud whenever she refers to me and thanks me (among others) because you who know me personally are well aware that I simply ADORE, admire and I feel the greatest of gratefulness to that special woman and feel like a scholar basking in her glory anytime she speaks to me (and this happens… just with her, because otherwise I am Dominatrix of the World, thank you ;)).
So here it is the review of Meli, taken from her posts at ATRL (where she Queens around, because how cannot you feel her power whenever she goes and manifest her angel spirit of perfection and goodness ;)):
All that said about the record, and how it makes my heart break anytime I reference any song to the real life that it mirrors (Adam said in interviews this week all of Overexposed’s inspiration is actually “LIFE”, and we never had doubts there after hearing it), I am even happier than Adam and Behati Prinsloo are together still (she just went with him two weekends ago in Disneyland, she has been with him in New York all these days for Overexposed promotion – and there’s a bit of a video you will see also here and not only in the NAWWAL pages -because that cuteness had to be shared – and in Miami with him and the band for the iHeart Radio Pool Party at the Fountainbleau, and they are just now coming back together in New York because Adam is due there to keep on filming his movie with Keira Knightley and what I like is that she isn’t publicizing it AT ALL, thing that Adam surely loves and most of all, thing that Adam NEEDS after the previous relationship had to face the press and media pressure, brought in by Anne’s camp which was craving for it to raise her profile, and so any time they were out there were paparazzi snapping pictures to be ending in hideous blogs such as Just Jared, which Anne loved to “keep informed” much to Adam’s dislike).
Behati SAVED Adam from despair: she came to him like a saving grace, with her joyous, sparkling, lively attitude – who doesn’t know about her awesome personality, should inform themselves: you would be surprised how she is actually VERY similar to Adam’s personality in many ways – and I am SO happy about this, so happy in illogical ways, but I still be.
The more you understand about Overexposed, the more this sparkles clear: Adam would have drowned in despair over the way his love got wasted and misused, if Behati wouldn’t have suddenly and soon come with her smile to cheer him up.
Whoever has affection for Adam shall be grateful to Behati: she indeed is responsible to having brought Adam back to a happy life track and no matter how long they stay together, or how just of a fling this might be, truth is without her Adam would have risked his mood and sanity way too riskily, out of the forced way Anne went off of his life (albeit with his consensus, given that he knew without that ring, the story would have ended… and he didn’t offer that ring willingly, that has never to be forgotten).
I bless Behati: and I am sure she will star in Daylight video if as I hope and believe she and Adam will still be together by September (when I imagine it will be filmed).
Adam may seem a jerk at times and all but he needs love like nobody else; Anne couldn’t be the one or he would have kept her, but her fading away certainly broke his heart (and I am sure it broke Anne’s too, if all her tweets for months were about how love shouldn’t be broken by distance, and people shall not give up in difficult times, most like she was addressing Adam instead decided those were the reasons that had to break them apart).
The way in many songs Adam was keeping saying he couldn’t maybe profess those words “be with me forever, marry me” but at the same time the way he kept asking for her to stay at by his side (and Anne never did: she never sacrificed her time and career for him… that is the “distance” that broke them apart in Adam’s book, though he has stated clearly that Anne did what she felt was right for her and he doesn’t blame her for it at all; and Anne can keep tweeting that Love isn’t measured by distance but truth is if you are not enough with the person you claim to be in love with, then you are NOT in love, or you would feel the need to spend all of your time together, or at least way more than she spent with him anyway) tells that he came out VERY hurt by the end of their relationship.
But that is past… look this pieces for the other day (29th June) Today Show and at the start, look whom Adam addresses at after Mickey says “Cape Town” shall be next fav place to play (Behati was born inn Namibia, but lived her childhood in Cape Town ;))
He said it on Howard Stern too that the end of the relationship was painful (and way longer due than just by April the 2nd)… where he trashed the magazine reports (fed by Ali Kavoussi, so it’s an indirect dig at Anne’s camp maybe?) that there was drama in the break-up, and also pointed out as I have that Anne and Behati aren’t friends at all (“maybe acquaintances” he said, just as I did…) again indirectly trashing what tabloids published out of Kavoussi’s feeding of the press… I will post the latest Stern interview in Radio form below, and you will listen how Adam gracefully and gentleman-ly put an end to everything Anne and him ever were, with no blame, with respect and clearly with the memory of a very important part of his life that still is now PAST and FINISHED, as he’s now involved with someone else whom he wants to protect from intrusive witnessing… .
Adam’s heart has been cracked enough about this beautiful story of affection gone wrong… I’d love if past would remain past and never get mentioned again, especially when there’s nothing more that is real to talk about, and I am so glad Behati’s attitude towards gossip press is as strict and reserved as Adam’s: she won’t use him the way he was anyway a bit used in his previous love fest.
Now he’s mending that wounded heart, it’s doing it through and thanks to Behati and we should be happy for him, because he just hates to be alone (hasn’t he said that so many times, too? Whoever claims to love him has to realize for properly doing it you have to spend time with him, because he needs the physical contact, even if that may just be a lovingly intertwining of hands, which is the cutest way to show someone you truly love them…).
That fling-possible-outcoming-relationship maybe will produce new music as well, and who knows, maybe next time it won’t be a super pop record production, but it could be something VERY Soul-oriented too (or rockish… after all Behati is all about rock, she quotes amazing songs and she’s a perfect rocker’s girlfriend… maybe in the foreseeable future she could even sing choruses along him? we’ll see ;))
Take by now some commentaries about the record by the band…
From SPOTIFY (each track has an insight):
From Saturday Night Online:
And finally, take the Audio from Maroon 5 Radio Take Over on June 28 2012, firstly AUDIO part:
And then the video extras:
I have tons more of material (as I always had even when I was just posting it up for Margherita and Serena’s blog) but I will put it up in the Storage Page later on along these. It’s not like I will start to have this blog like I used to all of a sudden again 😉 I am not really as in charge anymore and I prefer to sex up my hubby … the Storage Page will keep serve for the rest 😉
All I know is that I like Overexposed, I truly do, and I am happy if Adam’s life isn’t anymore a sad mess, but it’s turning back to a smiling one.
Summer is up for sunny days and sunny love… it’s the way it should be and I feel it will be just so 🙂
Have all a great time of Summer…
Enjoy 😉

About to have a great Valentine’s time… and crossing fingers my fav celeb couple will still have theirs, too.

Good morning universe!!!
I’m super thrilled because Lakers won over the Celtics just this past night and this makes a great start for my day today, in a sketchy season… (Milan lost in Italy’s cup to Juventus the other day so any victory in sport field nowadays looks gold to me today ;)).
But moreover, no matter snow that keeps affect the northern of the Country (well, not only), the moment is approaching where I say goodbye to work and I reach the airport to fly away for the Valentine’s time along my amazing hubby, Karim.
Where do we head?
I have NO IDEA.
It’s a surprise that not even the plane will solve because we fly private and therefore destination still disclosed to my eyes ;).
I love this (and I truly hope our week long time in the location will be a HOT time also regarding weather because all this frozen ice is enough for me, thank you ;)).
I know it will be awesome.
Talking about coupling, Valentine’s Day and love I cannot avoid to share a bit about the only celebrity couple that ever made my heart stan.
I really hope just as Karim and I are going to have a great Valentine, also Anne V and Adam Levine will.
I say this because the Page Six folks shot this awful rumor yesterday:
Now, the thing looks to me WAY not correct, and it sounds like a push in for making the AWFUL Kate Upton get the good press for taking the SI Swimsuit Cover (thing that sadly looks very likely to me, because SI Swimsuit likes trash looking girls fit for porn, and they haven’t had a classy and deserving cover model since Beyoncé…) just on February 14th actually…
But I do hate the rumour Page Six spread, that many others media outlet immediately quoted (of course, now that Adam’s hot in the press due to The Fuckery Voice, that would have happened).
Talking back to its incorrectness though, we do know that:
1) Adam went solo at the Golden Globes just because Anne was flown away for WORKING, and therefore no sign of a split can be related to that event, if any;
2) Adam and Anne spent the last days of January TOGETHER, as this X17 pictures prove:
3) Anne went to the shooting of Maroon 5 NEW ALBUM cover shot and also attended ALONG ADAM its filming of the Hank Haney Project day of golfing on January 31 in San Diego, as her twitter (and Hank and Suzanne Haney’s ones) testifies:
4) Anne remained sure in California and did not come along Adam for the SuperBowl festivities (which may seem strange, I admit), but in those days Adam was supposed to do press a lot for the Voice, and also SHOOTING the VIDEO for Slash’s “Gotten”. Maybe as she hadn’t business to do it seemed better to avoid overcharging him with her presence? Still, on February 3rd this was one of Adam’s interviews, and he states pretty clearly that he’s NOT single:
These are signs of the fact the Page Six claimed crap (E Online’s Mark Malkin also quotes the report as false, but again…it’s always just “rep’s reporting” and sometimes reps are crappy talkers too).
Now… it does maybe seem strange that nor Anne’s tweeting anything about Adam lately (she expressed praise for the Voice commercial but she never said a word about any of the Voice episodes, nor on any of Adam’s late tasks, such as the new record label, his cover shots, Teddy Richardson’s spread and so on… and that is DIFFERENT from the past, it’s undeniable); it sure seemed strange to me.
The same (and that actually makes me suspicious), Adam never actually pimped Anne’s chances with the SI Swimsuit thing lately. Again, that is strange, because last year he was all over this, and one of his word THIS year that he’s way more popular could have meant something (but maybe he’s just aware of the crappiness of the SI editors and know his would be wasted breath again).
Now all that I can say is that I hope they are still together.
It’s that.
I love them together so much and since the start I wanted them to procreate perfect babies one day (possibly soon).
I know it’s none of my business at all and after all their lives are theirs and that don’t affect me anyway but I would surely be sad for a while and a little if they actually did break up (the reports suggest or they seem to that it night have been Anne’s choice… in that case, with the Grammy performance with the Beach Boys up and lots of others stuff up these days, it would be logical for Adam’s camp try to dismiss the fuss at least until these event wouldn’t be passed, giving him breath…).
Whatever.
I hope they stay still together and will have an amazing Valentine as a couple.
I also HOPE that Anne get her well due SI Swimsuit cover but I haven’t much faith in their editors’ taste. They would be easily go up with a slut looking big boobed bimbo like the awfully faced Kate Upton, rather than with a classy lady as Anne.
I hope to be wrong about the cover, but also last year it was clear to me that they would have given the cover to that transvestite-looking Irina…
And I hope that when I will be back from my vacation I will have still a celebrity couple to stan up for.
Let’s have this little prayer, because they are so good together and it would take ages to Adam to find anybody as fit for him as Anne always seemed to be 😉
Have all an amazing time around, folks!!!
Happy Valentine to anybody celebrating being in love 😉
Missus Z. 🙂
