Hey there world ;)!

Karim took this at the airport while we were waiting to fly to Paris for Thanksgiving.
I love it.
So it’s my new twitter icon 😉

Okay okay it’s not technically December yet…

But here I am again writing, even tho I said I wouldn’t have this soon after two near posts last times…

Ehi… it’s ALMOST December anyway right? 😉

And then I needed to update posts with my new profile picture (that in itself it’s a rare and worthy event right?… ;)), and write some stuff before the December season strikes in and I won’t have as much as free time because to do all things that I am supposed to in December I’d just need a day of at least 30 hours (multiplied for 31, of course. December kills me. I love it. But it does kill me…).

So before this afternoon post work we leave towards Val Gardena and before the week after it’s the HUGE La Scala time weekend (does it makes sense or?) I thought this was the only space (of time mostly) allowed to some blog update (which means the rest will come around Xmas, so if you want to see full broadcasts of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Hawaii 5-0 and The Grammy Nomination Concert + other stuff before it, you better address yourself to the NAWAAL Pages, because there I will upload things before next update.

I think.

It’s not like I have to oblige to do that, but upload stuff it’s way easier and faster than write around the uploads ;).

Obviously).

So while today I seem to be having a very quiet day at work (after an insane Post-Paris Thanksgiving week) I can customize a decent post now, in pieces, as breaks allow.

And I have a few things to trace 😉 so it’s going to be cute.

For me 😉

Barack! YES!

As you should have learned about by now, I write here only for my own pleasure anyway 😉 so you stay here at your discretion BUT as absolutely irrelevant entities for me ;).

DEAL.

Let’s just start with one thing that you know I strongly care for… and which made me fear a lot in our past post:

Barack is STILL the President of The United States!!!!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

(and pheeeeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!!) 😉 too 😉

I am so inspired by this man, and so happy everything went in the right direction…

The other option was equaling war and hate and demise for the world for me so you know how I feel there.

I just couldn’t fathom the reality of a world ruled in ANY frigging way by a combo “Romney/An Idiot Racist VP”.

But all went fine, so let’s just forget our scare.

Let’s dwell into Barack’s greatness by memorizing (I did) his coronation speech:

His passion for his Country is so gushingly clear and true… and I am glad also people I care of were as enthusiastic as I was about Obama’s win 😉

How I wish in Italy we had anything (anyone) even remotely similar…

Instead we have Berlusconi ready again to compete for Prime Minister role (God help us and possibly make this one trick pony DIE. I mean in every sense you can imagine we are in need of. Naturally of course… he’s old enough for it isn’t he?), and the Right here again being ridiculed by this midget whose only interest is to FUCK this Country while fucking prostitutes and then avoid any real political project to take off, but instead minding only his own ways to stay out of where he belongs, namely JAIL.

Poor my Italy (if as I presume there will still be retarded believing this one is what we need)…

And on inside the fence’s side of mine… Renzi and Bersani are up to their final face off after their debate the other day, and after the first round of voting about The Left candidate has been done (click on aside for the full video, here it’s just an excerpt of it):

I wish we could mix the two… but instead we have to part them and I honestly still don’t know whom I am about to pick on Sunday.

Nut. A rockstar cat. King of our house now 😉

Sigh.

Speaking about doubts, choices and people who could/should/must have been picked…

DOUBLE SIGH.

Lakers did me so wrong a few weeks ago.

SO wrong.

They let me hope and climbing the tree of happiness, when they finally SACKED MIKE THE DISGRACE BROWN (and you know how long I was asking for this to happen) and they seemed to be getting back THE ONE AND ONLY PHIL JACKSON

Only to destroy me again, and hiring Mike D’Antoni instead.

Why?

I repeat… why?

That was SO disrespectful to Legendary PJax… I can’t believe how bad we treated him… I can’t 😦 .

I am a huge Olimpia Milano fan and I love Mike D.A. to death but… no way he is fitting for this hard job.

And results are still proving me right once again…

Do I have to surrender at hope of a great sporty season already?

Paris Thanksgiving Time…

Because my teams are so bipolar…

Milan is there to pull and push me up and then shoving me down… We get humiliated by Inter, we struggle in Champions, then we play well in the Cup, and we beat a super Juventus...

what I have to do to keep track?

I am getting old and I don’t feel secure sometimes with all these rollercoaster of feelings, teams.

So please… get it together and help my sanity.

Love, your devoted Zaira 😉

*end of the sporty pledge* 😉

But ehi… I know I have such a great time on my journey onto this planet I shall not really worry (much less complain) about anything.

Just this past week I have gotten to celebrate the most family-oriented of American’s holidays in the most European of towns (and in the most hybrid of ways, give the people involved).

We went to Paris with all of our families and we just had the greatest of times for the Thanksgiving long weekend.

Not only that town is magic for K&I, but we also got to spend some unforgettable time at a party which was held… practically AT the Louvre.

That was simply awesome.

One of the best nights of my whole life, truth to be told.

… winning 😉

I am very grateful for my husband, my family, my friends and relatives; my Swifty, and all of those treasures my existence is made of.

I hope all the people whom I love and treasure are knowing it.

I always try to let them know anyway, because it’s the right thing to do.

Know I never take ANY of this for granted you guys…

And now, I can also say I have a new love in my life… because Karim surprised me with another pet.

Not quite as big as Swifty, but trust me… he might be just as fast 😉

We have a gorgeous all-white cat now, with eyes of gold sparkles.

We’ve baptized him Nut.

No, it doesn’t mean that he’s crazy (though… maybe… ;)): that is the name of a tool people use while climbing rocks, peaks, mountains and since he’s all white as eternal snow on the Alps… there came the name 😉

I am quite scared about the moment when I will be donning the Xmas tree (s) in the house, because Nut will probably tackle them down.

Gotta find a smart solution for his proclivity towards mess.

But he’s just SO cute, and you know I just can’t be mad when beauty is involved 😉

And speaking of Xmas, gifts and engaging activities related to all that, I have started to think at gifts but all that I have come up with so far are purchasing for our houses (… 😉 ops!).

We just found the best chairs for the tavern… tell me these are not amazing (it’s actual fabrics INTO a structure of wood and laminated plexiglas):

Our new set of amazing chairs. Cheers 😉

What else of mine?

I guess if I don’t get over inspired later on, I can move onwards and start The Chronicles of Life & Love (which I love).

Fine?

😉

Well, after Behati and Adam had their love Time fest which lasted like… 2 days into The Victoria’s Secret Fashion show taping (that is dedication, girl… GO!!! Your amazing Halloween costume still an highlight in HW Forever Cemetery, be sure!), she had to fly to New York and he kept being busy with the Karaoke Mess his Tv duties  (sigh), his stuff with Maroon 5 (guys are doing awesomely!!!) and enjoying generally everything that comes when you are as famous as Adam is.

Behati got also into acting, much like Adam, being the one chosen to appear the day before VSFS 2012 will air (in a few days)to cross-star in Hawaii 5-0 remake (more on that later on ;)).

Oh, and if you think I forgot about AHS, just because Adam isn’t featured anymore (so far), you are WRONG.

I still hooked on the Asylum and I love it better than the Damned Ghostly House 😉 I am also sure the physical resemblance of Zachary Quinto, Dylan McDermott and Adam is not a casual occurrence. I am sure this is planned 😉

Quote me later on 😉

Well Behati went to New York to do her thing, and as always she just ROCKED it.

I mashed up a lot into this… so enjoy 😉

She also got lucky when Lais Ribeiro (poor girl) tweaked her feet on the day before the show in the rehearsal, because then her two outfits got to be given to others and one got to Shanina Shaik (gorgeous) while the opening one for one of the segment, with glorious feathered wings, immediately went to Behati, who just shone in it.

Completely.

The picture you see where Behati almost cries is taken when she got told Lais couldn’t make (I have been told by a sure source).

Behati is so generous and good, instead of being happy for herself, she almost cried for the bad luck of Lais, no matter if through that she would have got three outfits and an opening.

THIS is Behati.

Too bad the picture I am telling you about got used by trash press to spread stupidity around.

Interviewed about the show, and a charity that was promoted by VS for the victims of Sandy, Behati hinted at her apartment being flooded.

Now follow me, because this is cute (again, I have assurance about this whole dynamic through my links).

This is an article taken out of this thing (note the trash always comes from the same “sources”…):

US Magazine keeps being trash

US Magazine keeps being trash

Let me just point out the mess of the article.

First, I have been told Behati was never meant to speak about Adam.

She was just asked if she was fine and she said “yes, thank you”; then while speaking of her apartment flooded, she just said that while it was happening she was with her boyfriend on the other coast and she was not affected as much as she could have.

But of course magazines spun other things into her very brief and simple and totally private answer.

Poor Behati… No matter how great you are in preserving your and Adam’s business… they can always ruin it all.

Don’t let them to.

Ever… KEEP fighting okay girl? 😉

Mesmerizing Behati VSFS 2012

Mesmerizing Behati VSFS 2012

I also laugh at the way in this trash magazine they labeled the relationship a courtship (LOL… yeah, sure, because they have no sex… and because is for being totally a-sexual that in almost 7 full months Behati and Adam are together she spent with him 81% of the days of this span of time…), and how it seems that from May to November there are only 4 months to be counted (again, because Behati never spoke about the relationship, but US Magazine put into the article what they liked… or WORST, what they were paid to put up, to just cut Behati a different angle than she is).

Behati is not trash, so I hate when they use her to use Adam… why not just put the normal story up?

Easy answer… because truth is not interesting as much as lies.

Then just around these days, more garbage was thrown at Behati and Adam (and along the crew we have a pretty defined idea on whose to be blamed for all this dirt… just ask yourselves whom could be benefiting from trash given to Adam and Behati…).

First Adam was flirting with longlife pal Katy perry (who’s with John Mayer since months, and whom has always been just a friend of Adam) at his Halloween bas (yeah, sure); not only shamelessly… BUT IN FACE OF BEHATI?

Please.

How can people be SO stupid to believe this (and trust, many did).

Then, the maximum of idiocity: Patsy and Fred, Adam’s parents, would be pushing Adam at marrying Behati.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

Please?

Really?

First of all: Adam lives his life outside of all these things, and his parents would NEVER intrude this way in his life.

Second: Adam doesn’t want to marry, and he has stated this so many times, and he has broken relationships over this point, at least a couple of times already.

Third: Behati is not somebody desperately trying to get into a marriage with someone famous to get more famous herself.

Fourth: they are together and very happy since the whole of May BUT none of them would ever marry out of some months bliss.

ESPECIALLY ADAM, who knows until he has a career, he has no time to have a family (which doesn’t necessarily involves marriage for him anyway).

But why all these false stories are going around?

Who is trying again to ruin Adam’s private life through things he hates with the whole of himself, namely false gossip lies?

Again… CUI PRODEST?

dam on Anderson. The episode was taped in October though

Adam on Anderson. The episode was taped in October though

That’s the answer you gotta face to understand this all.

I did . 😉

Get used to lies when it’s about Adam and Behati… like when (I predicted it in my two posts before this one already) OF COURSE trash gossip sites started to wonder why Adam wasn’t sided at the VS Fashion show to cheer her walking…

Well, HE WAS LIVE WITH THE VOICE on the other side of the Country that day, for instance?

And… a real Angel doesn’t need a famous boyfriend to get relevance in the show, maybe?

Too complicated for poor retards to get, I know… but again I tend to believe all this dirt is more spun to disfavor Behati and to make others feel better.

I may be mean…

But I am sure I am right, and I have no doubts about all these strange news being manipulated.

I am just glad neither Adam nor Behati cares, and fly higher above all this trash.

They are so not worthy of all these vicious lies being spread though.

But one thing is for sure, is that Adam likes revenge.

He won’t forget who mistreated him, or the ones he loves. he can remember that for years and have a vengeance in time.

Don’t trust his smiles to enemies… he doesn’t forget and he mostly doesn’t forgive: anyone who knows him for real will tell you this (I am similar, so I understand him well).

But back at good things.

While Behati was working her (beautifully shaped) ass off, and also took care to make everybody sure she wasn’t available also at the after party, and then she was ready after the show to fly in Hawaii first for her tv stint, and then to Mexico for VS duties (can’t wait to see the shots!) along her great pal Candice Swanepoel, Adam had some great things to mind too.

He had a gig with his colleagues at the show (no, I won’t mention it ? ;)) refer to the NAWAAL page please ;)) and also Jesse (beloved Jesse!!! come back to us soon!!!) attended the show taping (sweet, that was sweet from him to tweet it).

While being taken with his stuff, Adam shared this WONDERFUL Stevie Wonder’s playlist with Rolling Stone (click on the picture, jump on the page and listen… I couldn’t save the file, too little of time to crack it sorry ;)):

Adam Levine Stevie Wonder’s Playlist _from RollingStoneUSA_November 2012

Adam also had modeled for the event you know since other updates (the GQ Gentlemen’s Ball), for which he got this page on GQ November 2012:

Adam Levine in GQ USA – November 2012 issue

He looks so dapper completely clean up 😉

I wish instead to have yet to receive TV Guide Magazine where Adam gets honored, I had to still get People Magazine instead…

Lucky me didn’t BUY that (I got sent as a gift it by friends):

People UN-Sexiest Man Alive issue 2012

People UN-Sexiest Man Alive issue 2012

… because it’s not only a crime to have disregarded Adam that way, putting him up with a minuscule photo taken not from his regular look (even the pornstaches he worn out for a while are better than that) but from his role look for “Can A song Save Your Life?”, but it’s a blatant insult to have used him viciously in the online editions of the magazine, hinting that he may have some relevance in the printed edition, and then give him that awful space you see above.

Trying to milk readers better, People?

Oh, what a sham 😉

But at least is something right?

Nah, it’s not 😉

I actually am glad Adam’s management doesn’t pay to get covers on People (because THAT is the way these lists are made… teams decide whom to give the spotlight depending on how much money pressure they get from the PR teams 😉 it’s all business in Hollywood, glad Adam doesn’t strive for it though. He’s way sexier than anyone mentioned instead of him in this issue and that’s for sure ;))

But let’s hope soon THIS instead arrives in my Hand, namely…

Adam Levine tops TV Guide's HOTLIST 2012

Adam Levine tops TV Guide’s HOTLIST 2012

… the TV Guide one he’s part of (the latter, much deservedly, on the cover of course) so no scan on this update I am sorry (blame USA postal services, thank you 😉 ):

I love anytime Adam is on magazines though.

He had also his fun at the soiree organized to honor his cover of course 😉 like the star he is, and the super talented person he is.

I still love him all clean up and modeling actually, though I know he always tries his best to avoid these things like pest (why? why? Handsome-ness has to be shared, you egoistical man! 😉 Kidding… of course he accepts these things only when he likes to, and it’s his prerogative).

Adam also sat down for an interview with Ellen, before sharing stage with Maroon 5 for performing Daylight:

I love that he keeps being very reclusive about his personal life.

He has learnt that no one really in love with you will ever push you to give her publicity.

Now he doesn’t feel forced to speak of his private business to make others happy and I prefer him (and his love life) this way.

Sorry Ellen 😉 not even you could break that (nor did Howard Stern in June, so… if you two can’t, nobody will ;)).

Adam in the main time is still practicing golf and being charitable through it (love this side of him, always very private as well), and so he was part of a Tournament benefiting a very well renowned Foundation in California.

Behati was then moving from Hawaii to Talun as I said… and even if for a while the beach things she was shooting two weeks ago won’t be available (the ones below are from the July shots), you can watch this video to be reminded of her fab body ;):

Awww.

SEXY yet classy.

She’s an African Queen indeed 🙂

While Behati was in tropical Paradises for duties, Adam went back to New York with the boys to perform one of their favorite gigs always.

They were the musical guests on the Saturday night Live episode hosted by great Jeremy Renner, and the episode was a great success (also in ratings, of course):

I wonder if the fact Adam spent all the after party talking with Jeremy will actually bring some more acting into his future.

I am sure he’s focused about it too.

While they were there (the day before actually) Maroon 5 were also the musical guests at the prestigious American National Museum of History Annual Gala (I have been there with Coldplay.. well 😉 Chari was there with Maroon 5 instead and I don’t know who got it better ;)) and a lot of good came out from it too ;).

Well… of course Mick Jagger is a force to be reckoned so maybe Chari might have the edge there 😉

Being in New York in that weekend prevented Adam and Maroon 5 from their glory reception of another American Music Award for Best Band (the only one the shame of Bieber couldn’t steal them of… stupid tasteless teenager giving that trick awards… ) but they were sure grateful for the win.

I wonder if stupid Bieber will prevent Adam from more awards at the People’s Choice Awards.

I say this because Adam is the single person who is candidated THE MOST (he’s up for 6 nods).

Wow.

Not bad man…(though I hope he wins only where he is candidated for Maroon5 related things… because… well.. you know ;)).

While glory was pouring on the guys Behati was still on working schedule, but at least to work with your best friends is a great relief I guess (working in a paradise on earth doesn’t hurt either ;)).

But when Ben Watts said goodbye to Bee and he seemed to hint she was ready to travel to MORE Happy places… we knew where she was heading, didn’t we?

Sure, she never tells it openly.

Because well… that’s only HER (and HIS) business but…

We knew 😉

We should never get so surprised anymore at the grace and the power Behati has to be THE PERFECT GIRLFRIEND for little Adam 🙂

The lively Angel who’s by his side since the whole of May (at least… let’s leave Coachella in the “hooking Up Department”, though the sparkle sparkled very much like a FIRE immediately… bless the African drive and passion ;)), no matter what and no matter how, also in this month of November has showed how it’s done to be Adam’s lady.

She has worked her ass off for most of the month, squeezing a lot into 20 days, and as soon she could, she was back by Adam’s side.

STRAIGHT.

Behati for Desigual 2012 Extras

She’s a true ray of sunshine in his life.

So glad she’s there for him… so happy she gives him what he needs, especially considering how full and without breaks his life is.

Behati balances it all.

She IS love.

And we do know how much Adam needs a pure and not exploiting kind of it to be fine in his stuff too.

Behati Prinsloo for VS Swim NOV 2012. This spread was shot in July – with Sara Sampaio – before she took flight to join her boyfriend Adam Levine in Japan where Maroon 5 were playing for their Asian Tour

I really wish she would leave Women.

Because they will be trying (they are already) to milk Adam again through her and he won’t take that once again after he realized how much he has been used for two years (if you wonder why Adam’s tweets have changed that much, here’s your answer: he has gone back to be who he REALLY is, namely a very private person outside of his very overexposed working life).

I am glad Behati brought him back to his roots, because I never really loved the way he was moved (forced?) to put out on display for everyone to see his private life and thoughts.

Gloriously beautiful Behati Prinsloo is wet for Seafolly

That was NOT Adam.

That was a manipulated-from-love-towards-a-wrong-receptacle Adam… glad we are now having the real Adam back, and if this means not knowing his background days, WHO CARES.

I prefer to be assured he is happy (and I AM ASSURED OF IT 😉 ) behind closed doors instead of seeing him fakely chased by paparazzi and having “sources” and “unnamed close friends” (read: manipulative PR teams, which are not belonging to Adam’s life) explain us carefully what he thinks about family and marriage and how he feels about his love life at the moment.

Heck! He’d never ever share these things with strangers, if it were up to him 110%!

Adam and Behati on Memorial Day 2012 – May 28 – in Hawaii

That type of info given out to – low-rated – press (?) is mostly always a front, and should almost never been given credit at all.

Instead these smiles you see during his Thanksgiving time, just like those passionate, adorable, very lovingly kisses Adam was planting on Behati’s face in Hawaii in May (where he was with private people and unaware of paparazzi around, hence he was completely free to be himself and put his passion on up), things that are real because they are happening in his PRIVATE MOMENTS, that are not meant to be seen by any other than his real close people, well, THOSE displays (not public) of affection are what matters.

Those are what real love calls for and a real relationship shall be made of.

Real life… has to be private.

No matter if you are a celebrity… your private life MUST be only yours (and it bares a striking contradictions, I know, that while I preach this then I post somehow private pictures of A&B up here, but that is not a media blog, it is just a personal one about things that I like and that happens to me, so while I am also putting up pictures not meant to be seen, I do because those – already published elsewhere though, I carefully avoid to post around pictures that have NEVER surfaced anywhere else before, that’s a rule over here – that are just meant to prove my point, that Adam and Behati are very happy, very secure lovers all into one another for THEIR LIVES and not for paps or fame. Those pictures float anyway over the web so they have ceased to be private anyway. My use of them is not evilish at all, and I will take care of not showing minors or locations anyway, no matter if others did instead).

I just feel fine seeing them happy and not for the eyes of strangers to see…

but for their only own good.

I am happy again Behati is showing (once more in this blessed Thanksgiving time… ) how she only cares to be with Adam as much and as long as possible, and never shares bits of their privacy around just to gain status, and it makes my heart so warm and happy to see how she GENUINELY wants to preserve their love intact without selling Adam to the tabloids to be mentioned once more in the media through him.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo on Levine’s Family thanksgiving party 22 November 2012. Picture by a close friend. No tabloids allowed. Thank God. Thank you Bee. Keep being awesome to him. You are adorable and TRUE 🙂

So glad I am that the days of being exploited are over for Adam, and that after that unfortunate chapter of his life came to a very blessed end, a real Angel of Love came to save his intoxicated and damaged soul and give Adam back to himself, his senses and the ones who really love him without trying to gain a profit out of it :)).

All in all, I just wish tabloids would stop to spin nonsense about Adam, and about Behati, and about Adam + Behati and stop talking about them altogether, unless it’s for due work of them and not anything else but I also know that is hard for many reasons:

1) tabloids are scum;

2) tabloids write the fakest of things, often without getting punished for it (a problem that in Italy we have with supposed “high journalism” (?) also, see the Alessandro Sallusti‘s case, so it’s not like I can really wonder why those things happen 😉 can I?);

3) tabloids get paid by PR teams to write what those teams want and request, regardless of truths – in fact, more than often IN SPITE of it – just to operate towards defined targets, so they will often try to build stories when they need to speak about someone, if they can’t find real fact to report;

4) tabloids readers are mostly REALLY stupid, so they won’t ever reckon how false all those stories, and how manipulated and scripted by PR teams all their “news” are.

Should we care?

As brained people, not we must NOT; and I am happy Adam and Behati are of the same idea, and just avoid any forced contact with the worst of “media” (?) feeders.

I should just accept that in public people’s lives the downward side of being subject of dirty tabloids gossip and manipulation is sadly a not erasable occurrence, and just stop taking notices, just again like Adam and Bee do.

Adam despises gossip blogs.

And one thing is for sure that he won’t let anybody use him through them again so I really hope Behati can keep being as strong as she is demonstrating to be and never surrender at any’s will to milk Adam, because that would be the end of this relationship and I would be sad, because this relationship has brought us back the best Adam I was used to know (beside The Fuckery The Karaoke Mess that thing being still a thing of his… But I have strong hopes that chapter will soon be finished as well).

Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine with Adam’s entire family on Thanksgiving 2012.
They are just amazingly happy together. And not for the paps. For themselves only.

Really… if Behati leaves that Agency that should be called Whoring Management instead of Women I would be the happiest person EVER: they have never done much for her anyway, and even though it now seems they are starting to do, it’s never for her… it’s just for trying to upper themselves through her new spotlight, and pushing others by linking her awfully in things she doesn’t belong to, always in the creepiest ways.

She has the kind of skills to be one of IMG people anyway; she is a natural in front of cameras, she works well on motion, has a great eloquence, a sparkle of funny personality, a vision, and she is artistically educated because she is not merely a model, she is a musician and a photographer.

Behati Prinsloo and her perfect body emerges from the sea in Hawaii 5-0 feature

She has so much to emerge as a complete entertainer and her naturalness on Hawaii 5-0 demonstrates this once again (as any of her reaching out outside the plain work of a model – work that she rocks anyway, since her very start tho ;).

Of course this is just her very first (and not much prepared, as she flew in as soon as the VSFS ended) acting stint, so her abilities are completely rough cutted in there… but she is a natural force of Nature and – much like her boyfriend’s Adam – I just think she needs some practice at acting, and then she could just be BIG.

Her charm is undeniable and it takes as much as following her here, when she announced the feature, to realize how natural, away from pretentiousness, passionate and genuine she is.

I love everything Scott and Alex and Producers, Peter Lenkov & the Cast of Hawaii 5-0 said about Behati.

How people can hate on her is beyond me:

Of course envy is the reason, but I am sure anyone would love to be her friend, and that is why she is actually FULL of friends , and a LOT are actually females (which makes a double-check on her goodness because females hate easily on other females… instead Behati has GREAT friends and a lot also in the modeling world, and not as a “front friendship”… Coco Rocha, Candice Swanepoel, those are FRIENDS for real and for life. It speaks so accurately about Bee, the way she makes real friends also in the Fashion world).

Behati Prinsloo in HF Collage Shots which I find gorgeous

I also am deeply convinced that REAL people (like her and Adam are) have a BIG HARD TIME doing acting, because that doesn’t come natural to them.

Fakers are just much more inclined…. if you act in your real life, chances are you may be pretty good at acting in front of a camera (for some people, that is just a synonymy in which acting in life EQUALS acting in general… but let’s not give in there ;)).

I like the way Sun kisses Behati’s in this promo though:

And my oh my… Behati REALLY is 5’11”.

She towers poor Scott Caan a lot 😉 (Alex O’ L is over 6’1′ so she doesn’t dwarf him instead).

Behati on set

Behati on set

Behati’s cheerful, totally shining personality is what drives people to her.

Sure, she is a giant beauty with perfect body and completely mindblowing, unique facial features (THE CHEEKBONES!!! I can’t get enough ;))…

But what REALLY makes her unique is her personality which shines through always.

Proof of that?

You know HOW MUCH I DESPISE BIEBER, do you?

Well, I was not up to post this Victoria’s Secret Angels singing over his song “Beauty And The Beat” (which is not even that terrible, but being him, it still is) because I would never touch anything Bieber BUT…

Sometimes things get to be submitted here due to their over powering adorable-ness ;).

And when I saw this I couldn’t hold grudges towards the fact it was still an awful Bieber’s song that was chosen for the lypsynch phase.

Behati, this year again, shines through this whole fragment… you can see her personality glitter all over (and how happy is she there? OF COURSE… 24 hours before that lipsynch performance she was STILL in Adam’s arms ;)):

Behati is so adorable and so herself and so lively lipsynching that I couldn’t avoid.

See?

She’s so great she can even make me stand some Bieber (well let’s not go overboard…).

Glorious Behati. Bet Adam has a lot of fun with her infinite legs and THAT booty ;)

Glorious Behati. Bet Adam has a lot of fun with her infinite legs and THAT booty 😉

I am sure Adam is proud of his girl and he MUST.

She is just so real and I am sure hangin around her would bright anyone’s life.

Even in these stills out of her (amazing and finally out of Pink) performance at this year Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show you can see the passion for life and the deconstructed charm this girl has:

Adam needs exactly THIS in his complicated life.

Not a drama and clinging queen… he needs somebody who’s able to light his whole life up, to bring comfort into it when he has no other way to slow down.

He has written songs about that since an eternity… and Behati indeed is the type of person who can give him JUST EVERYTHING he needs, because not only she is the physical type he favors (as tall – or even taller – than him, infinite legs, toned, slim, but curvy enough to be womanly, a face that change from being innocent to being a sexy fox, and a kinky very developed side) but finally she has the personality to match his over-demanding one, while being reclusive about any detail.

I REPEAT FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME: This relationship of Bee and Adam could end TOMORROW: and STILL Behati will always be for him the best and realest girlfriend he’s had since he got famous, because even now that he is at a HUGE peak of fame, she has NEVER EVER USED HIM ONCE TO GAIN FAME HERSELF.

Behati and Adam in Los Angeles, 23 November 2012. totally loved up. Aww.

Behati is a wonderful person and for the way she has been there for Adam (and for the REAL him,) always and constantly, for the way she has always traveled the world to be as much as possible with him, for the way she has never ever used social media to pimp her relationship with him, or any other outlet, for the way she has and is respecting and taking care of Adam and his closest friends and family genuinely and uninterestedly… for the way Behati is LOVING Adam (and we all know that is all but easy, as he is NOT an easy person to deal with), she deserves to be BLESSED and THANKED from all of those who claim they are fans and appreciate and care about Adam (even if his private life is not a fan’s business at all).

adorability at the maximum level.

I wish everyone could realize that.

But the only thing that matters is that for sure ADAM DID AND DOES.

I hope this continues, as long as possible: Behati has brought light and real love back into Adam’s darkness and this is magnificent, and I wish she could be glorified for it and not trashed.

Those people hating on her, bashing her, spreading lies about her are obviously too stupid and not worthy to understand and see the goodness of Bee+Adam’s combo.

We can’t plant sense-fulness into brainless people.

Let’s just be aware of that ourselves, and pity them enemies if they are dull and blind 😉

PS: the pictures out from Thanksgiving have been taken from Instragram sources, which I have been sent by friends and occasional speakers.

Since they involve not willing people (kids of Adam’s family) those faces have been blurred to preserve privacy.

I have also decided to put them up only because they are flowing all over Internet and therefore anyone could catch them now through a web research, but I willingly decided to only keep the faces of Adam and Behati up, avoiding to display also Adam’s brother Michael and Gene Hong’s ones although his brother (I can’t stand him and you know it) was the one posting the first ones for the world to see (a fame oriented brother that is… I feel always creepily turn out by him actually but whatever, I just prefer to not pay attention to him tout court. He won’t change in his trials to become known through Adam so let’s just stop hoping he could, and move away and furtherly).

What does matter is that Behati still with her half and that even when she comes to the public places of him (like when she went to The Fuckery The Karaoke Mess that thing tapings, she avoids to share that through internet, and that’s cute… but lucky enough her look she was sporting on the taping of Monday 26th of November was too lovely to be not shared by Internet people (she has her Halloween wig up and she keeps wearing Adam’s clothes, here it is the cardigan, while the days before Halloween it was actually his trousers… that is so adorable I melt ;)):

Behati Prinsloo at The Voice on Monday 26th of November 2012. That’s her Halloween wig. And Adam’s sweater on 😉

Speaking about the lovely habit Behati has to wear Adam’s pieces of clothing (that is marvelous… she’s so modest and doesn’t ask for expensive gifts, she is so natural and lovely and for her the best clothes she could possibly wear are HER BOYFRIEND’s ones and this is so pure and lovingly… it always makes me melt. Behati, you’re a wonderful SOUL. You are.).

When asked at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show this year about a twitter question on her guilty pleasures… SHE SAID THIS (any Adam’s fan knows why I put this up here, right?):

Awww. I can imagine them both drawn into a giant jar of Haribo’s

They are so adorable!

By the way maybe they bought some of them while shopping at their (MINE!!!!) Gelson’s after the show was taped…

Look HOW AMAZING THEY ARE… the perfect easy-going, totally relaxed, completely real-and-out-of-fake type of couple:

Adam Levine and girlfriend Behati Prinsloo shop at their local Gelson’s after The Voice show on Monday November 26th 2012. Gummy Bears are there too or… ? 😉

But okay, I am digressing from my point (sorry, I just love to see Adam back being so very happy, and it’s ALL Behati’s touch on him who brought him back to that state he didn’t experience in so long before her).

I really like her charm and I hope they can have also some Xmas time together (these pictures from her JCrew’s spread help the mood) even though with all Adam’s commitments and the fact Maroon 5 play Las Vegas near to New Year’s Eve (and Behati goes in Africa around the Xmas holidays, as it’s right to do) that is not really very likely.

Behati Prinsloo for JCrew Xmas 2012

But who knows… their love is strong and they have already surprised us (she mostly) for their way to find ALWAYS the methods to stay as much as possible together.

And after all, if Behati stayed with Adam’s family on Thanksgiving… wouldn’t be cute for him to pay visit to her family on Xmas?

We can just cross fingers, and anyway, I am sure they DO know what’s better for themselves and for their strong bond.

Back to chronicles now 😉

That moment where she was at The Fuckery The Karaoke Mess that show  anyway deserves some kind of a break in of news, even in here, where it is forbidden by love of music souls (reality singing competitions = death of real artistry. THIS IS and there’s no way I will ever change my mind…).

No… don’t worry I am NOT gonna cover anything related to that awful thing in itself… because lucky enough I hadn’t to.

Let me be clearer.

That day 50 Cent and Adam premiered the AWESOME My Life collaboration, but without EMINEM.

Adam Levine and 50 Cent premiere “My Life” on Monday 26th of November 2012

Therefore I didn’t have to watch it.

I could just buy the single as soon as it came out (on Italian Monday still, just before I was going to bed) and  wait for this video the day after.

The video is EVERYTHING and it shows the most amazing trio of power all together

I cream myself at the greatness of this song; and you know how skeptical I was when a year or so 50 Cent and Adam started to give hints about a collaboration, but it took enough to add Lord Eminem to the mix, and actually “My Life” became instantly one of my musical dreams made true.

Adam and Eminem on the same record...

My Life. 50 Cent featuring my dream combo Eminem + Adam Levine.
WOW. Straight to Number one where it belongs 😉

This is pretty much perfection and it holds more of my heart than both Heard Em say and Promised Land (Revelations) do (the ones Adam shares with Kanye, whom I adore, despite his downwarding spiral into KardTRASHIAN lands).

But okay… I do still adore Kanye and this version of Heard Em Say video is still so dear to my heart I gotta put up also this (sorry for the step into memory lane 😉 ):

You know that is cause of THIS video and song if any time we stay in NY I have to go at THAT Macy’s to feel it as a musical vibe? (Also, I am dead sure that the hilarious – and cool – Macklemore’s Thrift Shop video somehow is a twist of this version of Heard’Em Say…. ;)).

But enough… let’s go back to My Life.

The song shot immediately to iTunes #1 as deserved (even though two days later it got knocked down by that HORRENDOUS Will.I.Am + Britney Spears’ mess called “Scream And Shout, which is exactly what you feel like to do after hearing it… due to its awfulness) and so the streak of Adam’s uncanny hit continues, just after One More Night got displaced after 9 week at the top by Rihanna (and we all predicted this by the way), and while Overexposed continues to sell amazingly (it just crossed the 810.000 copies this week ;), and One More Night is almost 3 times platinum in USA, and Payphone is well over 4 and 1/2 platinum already. Utter Domination.).

Grammy Awards.

Grammy Awards.

Despite the great performances on chart out of our guys, I am a bit worried about Grammy Nominations.

Somehow the fact that One More Night overshadowed Payphone in terms of weeks at number one on Billboard made everyone forget that Payphone was a way more global hit selling way more worldwide; unfortunately the fact it never got past number 2 in USA makes me fear the submission at the Committee have been for both songs, and that is NOT a smart move, especially when Maroon 5 have to compete in the most battled and crowded field (Pop).

That is a fear all of our crew has, that to submit both songs will have forcefully to split votes and polarize them; and that could undermine the chances of actual nominations when the votes get counted, if people have split them in two directions without none of them clearly prevailing.

Plus the rise (deserved I think) of Pink’s star in the album category is going to probably block Overexposed in any album related nods.

We’ll know soon, because the Grammy nomination concert is behind the corner (but you will be updated of it here only way later ;)).

What is for sure is that the boys are at their peak EVER.

Maroon 5 are simply put a great REAL band…

They are pop in the best sense of that word.

Where pop is meant to be an infusion of many things heading towards large fruition without derailing out from artistry.

They still have it, and I am still proud of them (and you know I have been quarreling with some of their choices…).

I am happy because they are. 🙂

And I am happy also because Adam is very very happy with a beautiful angel by his side.

(How many “happy” did I just write in 5 lines? Oh who cares… ;))

Take a look at the whole of November of the lovey dovey duo of Adam and Bee… and I hope you like my song choices for the segments, because they are well thought-over 😉 :

I wonder which film they have seen together by the way

Another thing which is lovely is that Behati has just shot a series of things for VS IN LOS ANGELES.

Behati shooting the other day for VS in Los Angeles

Behati shooting the other day for VS in Los Angeles

She does her best not only to be with Adam always, but to bring her work to HIS place, so that she can avoid to leave him for too long.

I am also curious to know if this is what inspired Adam “I want a baby tiger” tweet.

Because I can totally see Behati agreeing with that 😉

She would probably also be delighted if Adam could be the temporary replacement drummer of Pearl Jam  😉

I can see her pushing him for that actually (like he needed it ;)).

And I also wish to them to have a great weekend, as it seems they are going somewhere from Ben’s tweets ;).

Well, speaking of which, my weekend has started and I am finishing this post on iPad and on a car directed to Ortisei.

We have picked a house there so that we can be independent from my friends’ Cortina’s place (which still near).

This way K&I can get our freak on.

No really.

That was mostly the reason that pushed us to find a place of our own in Val Gardena 😉

Sorry friends… we know you understand!

(and probably approve 😉 LOL).

I leave you with a beautiful article and interview of James (dear Jimmy V!!!!) which I find awesome.

Read it carefully because it’s amazing 🙂

James Valentine on Guitar.com

James Valentine on Guitar.com

I’d say this is long enough ;).

Wish you all a great weekend, to find a wonderful place for your mind and heart, and to find a source of fire within yourself to spread it around.

Life is a wonderful thing… but it can not come out as easy as we’d wish for.

Let’s treasure it.

Every day.

I do, and that’s why I feel fine and happy I guess 😉

Happy Xmas time from Behati Prinsloo and VS ;)

Happy Xmas time from Behati Prinsloo and VS 😉

See ya around or after Xmas I suppose 😉

Missus Z. is on track towards Pordoi or something 😉

Bye!

Hola world! 🙂

Kobe dominating Wade, too 🙂

Soooooo…. TAKE THAT STUPID MONKEY BRONZE-Y!!!!!!!!

*trying to gain back some composure* (…) > FAILING!

I am sooooo happy!!

I slept only 4 hours tonight (and now at work I feel like trash) because after Lakers won against the Miami Meat and the Monkey that is LeBronze James (LMAO!!!) & we celebrated at a friends’ house (big fun for 15 crazy Lakerholics!), K&I went home and were so super pumped we had one of the most awesome (and long, even by our standards) sex marathons ever.

I’m dead and reborn and exhausted and shiningly joyful!!!!

My masked Mamba showed once more why he is the only one dignified to be mentioned along Jordan & Magic’s names.

the one and only Masked Mamba. Superpowers and all ;)

the one and only Masked Mamba. Superpowers and all 😉

End of story.

My pride, my pumpness will never abandon me today!!!

And Milan is doing darn greatly too… it’s such perfection in my world of sports right now… and okay I still believe Lakers this year are not serious NBA contenders but who knows?

Miracles happen and we have a miracle playing with us always so…

who knows?

When we will be in LA in April we will surely check some Lakers action, beside Coachella and Radiohead.

I wish I could still say “and Coldplay at the Hollywood Bowl” but sadly I will have to be in Sweden for a weekly working project by April 30th so… goodbye Chris.

I will have to catch you elsewhere (bye also to backstage passes… but I will gift a couple of friends with them, if the promoter accepts the names changes).

Not always things may go my way… but ehi!

I’m not here to complain because my life is fantastic, and I have the luck of being able to travel everywhere, and catch my favorite things any place in the world.

I mean… in this past month Karim took me to the most wonderful and wild Valentine Vacation (Africa’s Islands in the Equatorial Chain are off the hook… what a Paradise!!! Bob Dylan knows best ;)), which lasted well over a week…

well... that was Paradise. Indeed.

And just this past weekend we spent three lovely and well loved-up days in my Roman house.

You can’t really complain ever… we can do all we like, we are blessed to be able to being invited personally by King Giorgio Armani to his defilées in every town (though Karim passed that… which allowed me to spend times with some of my gal pals I never get time to be with enough, due to our careers and our constant traveling in the above-mentioned “world” ;)), we can share tables with some of the most influential people in the whole globe and overall we lead a life people can generally just dream of (or not even… because people are used to guess celebrities life, but they rarely have a clue about what really powerful and rich people live like, when radars never emphasize them up – and let me add – LUCKILY).

Roma. Love. K and I. Perfection.

Too bad sometimes sadness still come…

Lucio Dalla passed away and my family (especially my dad, a longtime acquaintance of his) has been seriously hit.

I also keep reminding myself of the person (and not the persona) Lucio… it’s hard, but his unbelievably awesome legacy as musician and artist will TRULY keep him alive for us all.

It won’t dry the tears, sure… but it’s a treasure still that we have and we will always have.

I chose this for Dalla tribute because it honors my favorite football player ever (no, you know it’s not Kaka’ ;)), the Divine Roberto Baggio, whom Lucio loved dearly, just as me:

Love, art, truth, research… inspiration.

All this makes LIFE worthwhile and Lucio was a master of this delicate balance like a very few people I’ve had the honor and the pleasure to meet in my life.

He will live forever (my favorite Oasis song right there ;), in my favorite video version):

Adam Levine and Anne V at 2012 Grammy Awards

About the topic of love and living forever… my friend Marghe has decided to stress me this whole morning about Adam Levine and Anne V. and the state of their relationship (like it’s any of our business…) because her skeevy “agent” Ali Kavoussi this past night has tweeted strange messages that in her opinion are jabs at Adam (who was in Cabo for golfing for the Haney Project, in a place FULL of Playboy chicks, allegedly, while she is in Paris for fashion duties, and that Kavoussi is there with her).

I don’t know.

My opinion of Kavoussi is really bad, due to what my dear BB has always claimed of him, and I believe he might have been one of those making the split rumor going around actually; but honestly… I don’t really care about any of that he said, because well… if Anne’s okay with that, why should strangers mind?

The celebrities’ lives are mostly foggy in reality; what we do know is often a well-carved surface that more often than not isn’t anywhere near the truth.

I hope they are fine and well, because I like and love them together but do I think we really have the true bites about them?

I don’t.

It never happens, especially in Tinseltown Universe.

Sure, Adam and Anne have paraded the state of their relationship post split rumors at the Grammys, and then with a (mostly hilarious to me, as I adore Howard) interview with Howard Stern:

Does this mean all is fine?

I hope so, since to me they should marry and gift the world with perfectly looking babies (Stern allegedly agrees), and I have always rooted for them from the start.

But then… that interview and the rest Adam has given those days in New York (or the look on her face those days, or his these recent days in Chicago for instance, at the Plot Your Escape event which showed him totally grunty – and that might have to do with Jesse not being in Maroon 5 anymore, but maybe not) in a way resonate with me as “We do love each other, but distance is a problem, so don’t get shocked when distance will part us off… love was great, but sometimes it doesn’t suffice” kind of preparatory explanation to be given to an audience that by now knows them as a couple, and would be someway disappointed by their split at this point.

I might be cynical there.

Well, I am cynical always ;).

But is this relationship of them really a problem for anybody other than them two?

NO.

I wish them to be together forever and happy and have the most beautiful birthday together soon, and for years to come… if it happens, I will be joyful; if they break up, well, I hope their lives will still be fine and stuff.

It’s not really a world class issue (but yeah, the genetics of the world would miss their possibly perfect off-springs, that would bother me a little ;)).

The fact that Maroon 5 line up is a mess, and they are not addressing Jesse’s departure (temporary? I doubt it but I hope so because to me Jesse IS Maroon 5), THAT is a problem to me instead.

But at least there is something involving them I like these days, and that is the new PJ Morton songs that features Adam and James (he sung it live a year ago, but now we have the recorded version with him and James and I really LOVE it, because when Adam goes soul I still adore him, no matter how many things I hate he’s now involved with):

In the end, all that I care for is MUSIC.

When that is good, the rest is just irrelevant.

And also when that is bad, the rest goes unnoticed.

I leave you musically then: because tomorrow Bruce Springsteen readies the album that will be THE album of the year and you gotta be worshipping the Boss:

I know I will.

WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN (but then all we need is also love, you know ;)).

Have a wonderful March.

I will!!!!

Missus Z. 🙂

Hi there Universe!

Ready to roll out to enjoy a wonderful day in Sn Fran, and to buy some Xmas/Chanukah gifts (Mash!!!! landing yours at Staples on Xmas ;)) here I am writing a small post…

I LOVED this ad!!! I. Want:!!!

This is probably my last one of the year… and I was held about writing this as well, because in the last day and half I flew half of the world and I’m prepared to have a wonderful Xmas time in California, an amazing (I’m sure it will be) New Years Eve in Las Vegas, and then I’ll be heading towards Paris to keep feeling blessed and in love (thank you life… I’ve probably been a saint or something in my previous one to get so much this time around? ;)).

This time I got Swifty flying with me 😉  He’s seemingly enjoying the new surroundings and apparently he reacted better than me to the jet lag (but he was chemically helped…).

What to say?

I’m super grateful for this mesmerizing year… For the way my family and my new family are lovely together (and both are with each one of us… and trust, K&I really wanted this to happen, because we’re very much fond of our families: they are our roots and force, indeed).

So happy to have still best friends ever, and really grateful to reckon my married status hasn’t changed a thing in the balances of “the crew”.

It’s important to keep things this way for me.

So, was this year perfect?

Well, not.

But this gives room for the new year to even TOP this one.

I like it like this.

Lakers. The Only Team.

Sadly I am fearing one piece of the “let’s top this year in the new one” puzzle won’t be fitting.

I wanna avoid to extensively post my thoughts in full over the blog (that’s why I waited to write, actually) about the sham against MY LAKERS, because otherwise this post would turn out to be the greatest cursing treaty of all times, but…

WTF (in Italian: ECCHECAZZZZZZZZZZO) ?!!!????!!!!!??????

David Stern made it: he destroyed my beloved team, pulling the trick out of the bomb after he placed it comfortably in our  hands.

He made Chris Paul flying to the Clippers (!!!!!!), he made Lamar leave in the worst possible way, and TO DALLAS (!!!!!!!!!), he let Pau stay just to see him convolute into a shadow of himself, and (just because dramas never come alone), to totally trash the Purple and Gold, also the private life of Kobe finally crumbled and so, also a divorce was added to the explosive and deadly mix of the 2011/2012 Lakers season to make sure everything could seize down for the worst.

Yesterday we got humiliated  by Clippers and I wish I didn’t see it coming but… I actually did.

Oh, Kobe...

*sigh*.

But whatever: a fan is a fan.

So, even if this will be an incredible chaos in organizing, for Xmas we are gonna fly in the booth of Staples Center (in helicopter, as you know we have one) to experience the game and then immediately fly back in San Francisco to enjoy the festivities.

My dad can’t wait 😉

So… thinking that I seem to have a certain “good star” up above… can I formulate my Xmas wish to involve somehow my beloved Lakers?

Dear Santa, Baby Jesus, and Dear Great One: I’m not asking anything especially for me, cos really I have way more than a girl can dream (and I used always to dream BIG, so that means something…); it’s not for me that I’m pledging now.

Merry Xmas!

It’s for an army of fans and supporters that share with the little me this burning Lakers passion.

Please… let this season surprise us all FOR THE BETTER.

Let us never fall apart.

Let us grow stronger.

It’d be… that slight improvement on 2011 that I would REALLY look out for in the new year.

Okay.

I hope I can be heard 😉

And to everyone around… Happy Xmas to you all and to your beloveds.

Catch you in the New Year so…

PARTY HARD & RESPONSIBLY.

It seems sort of an oxymoron, but I strongly believe it’s not.

Much Love,

Missus Z. 🙂

private planes ROCK.

Good morning universe!

Sunday morning.

No rain falling… but lots of things to be happy about for this gal, who’s spending her morning time all tied up and nakedly merged with the most awesome creature ever.

My Karim.

My love.

Miami time rocked.

I won’t say “my life”, cos my life is so much other than just another person, no matter how amazing, but… “the highlight of my life” is pretty okay when speaking of him.

In a short amount of hours – well, tomorrow – I’ll be jumping again on our little (not so little) private plane (am I saying “ours”? It’s not. It’s Karim’s uncle one but he’s gonna be family soon… he already is ;)) and heading to the Land of my Joy, Japan along our families and closest relatives.

Hopefully weather won’t be a bitch, but it seems over Saturday in Kyoto sun will shine (of course).

Our friends are also coming from literally all the world, as we have arranged flights and staying for them as well, for an entire WEEK.

Shiooooot I’m gonna marry.

Who would have believed it?

So many thoughts and feelings, but in so many ways this month-long partying all over the world (if you follow my twitter, you know what I’m talking about… ) felt like a celebration of my life and my friends and family ties, all heading, merging and mashing towards an event that somehow is gonna re-shape them all.

Enforcing them all.

Re-birthing them all.

We had an amazing and well-shared fun… we had mega parties in multiple towns all over Europe and US… we had CRAZY bachelorette parties and bachelor’s one (but we weren’t there so… I can’t judge ;)) we had very satisfying sexual plays (you know I’m mastering those, and kinky’s my second name), we went to Hamptons, we did sail in yacht and had amusing family time, we flew through Miami and had luxury treatments, we moved West Coast to enjoy friends and Maroon 5 (and Stevie Wonder, for me and Karim only pleasure though) at the Hollywood Bowl (nice, but somehow I couldn’t digest the presence and the flair of the Fuckery The Voice’s guest Javier Colon, who’s a good singer but nowhere he ever touched any inner chord of mine, sorry… Luckily the amazing Stevie Nicks saved the feeling of my night and somehow helped me re-assessing my good feeling with Maroon 5 and Adam), then we had fun in Catalina (ziplining rocks!!) in place of Las Vegas, before friends head back to Europe and their Usa’s place and only K&I enjoyed time with our families reunited first in his hometown (Love San Fran to death) and then here, in Paris, where we are takin off from in just a little while more.

Stevie Nicks bit was awesome…overall though I like Maroon 5 better in smaller venues; and what you will hear Adam say later on in a video that I will upload explains why (his voice is amazing but too thin sometimes for stadium sized venues).

yesterday night. Lovely Paris

Back on marriage though…

It’s funny because I still feel like marriage, whose concept is surrounding us from weeks and weeks, amidst dozens of references, bookings and plans, ain’t my thing.

I didn’t need it.

Somehow I still don’t.

I would have lived perfectly without it… it doesn’t add a thing to my life and my love BUT it does to my lover’s one and that’s why I agreed to marry him.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m putting myself 1000% behind this step (in my own way, which Karim knows and approves and love).

It’s just that I don’t necessarily thing it adds or detracts a thing to a relationship.

Marriage is mostly a way society of only A PART of the world and only from selected historical sections of it has found to preserve conventional tranquility.

Often actually damaging the reality of relationship statuses, teaching how to deceit, how to lie, how to be hypcrital just for a void “sake of the institution of it”, alienated longtime from the real FEELING of it instead.

I have been lucky to have gotten great examples of marriages working around me, firstly in my own family but I have never been naive about that.

Philosophy, History, concepts of Law and abiding of that have taught me much other things and all not flattering about the “sanctity” of marriage.

In a way I agree with what Adam declared about it on a very beautiful interview he did last week with Piers Morgan on CNN.

It’s a very beautiful interview that I’m willing to post here in its entirety (with my usual styled add-ons) because it marked in many ways my re-acceptance of him fully post Hollywood Bowl gig (though sorry, I will still NEVER approve of his choice to be on a reality tv competition, and I will never watch a thing of it until I have breath, no matter how into it he genuinely seems, also from this interview):

Anyway, back on the reason of my likings of this interview, which links to my pre-marriage status.

Yes, I see how marriage and real love or good relationship truly have never had much to share or depend on to.

A real happy relationship doesn’t need marriage, as much as marriage won’t in any way guarantee anything about the good output of a relationship.

What matters are love, respect, sincerity, acceptance, care, interests, clicking, out-sights about life – they don’t necessarily have to be coming from the same point, but have to be heading in the same direction –  and sexual correspondences.

MOst adorable celebrity couple Adam Levine and Anne V at backstage of Hollywood Bowl gig on July 25th 2011.

I’m sure Adam and Anne have those, as he clearly seems glowing in her and she seems to in him; and I always love when I read more about their menage – à – deux, especially when coming directly from either of them… definitely Karim and I have those kind of bonding at an upper level already (which is why we actually marry I guess: you know how I wish “A-squared” the same soon though).

Love is important; in the sense without it not much else can give the same satisfaction.

Look: I’m talkin love in the widest of senses, not only or just the romantic/sugarly kind of it.

Love is love of a family and friends and the general skill in makin another feels that you have a heart beating for them.

In any form.

I have always thought empathy is a key to a good relationship: you gotta try and understand another point of view…

People never think “all the same”, and especially that never applies to “everything”, nor “under every circumstance”.

Love doesn’t measure at all over that, and in fact many successful links and bonds survive just because they are existing among very different people.

It’s the outreaching and the willingness to outreach to join another one’s dimension that gives the measure of your love for that person.

And it’s all but easy or given; which is why not many relationship are often that successful after a while, given the different level of passion and enthusiasm about one another that forcefully time sets in.

You gotta put so much work in any bond for it to survive, evolve and broaden.

But I do believe relationship can be eternal, if they apply to change and remain SINCERE and true.

Fairy tales don’t exist.

Hard work does.

You may think I’m cold but trust me I’m very happy and joyous instead.

These joyous days for instance though have been also worsened by a tragic news: Amy Winehouse died alone and sad out of her misery and solitude.

Falling under the evil power of drugs, that this heartfelt tribute from Russel Brand detailed amazingly (it was a surprise… I don’t generally like him but this was amazing).

I was shocked and saddened and destroyed because I’ve been a fan of her incredible talent since she first surfaced in UK.

It’s horrifying that no love could help her loneliness and heal her wounded soul.

And therefore we lost one of the brightest talents EVER in popular music:

So sad nobody helped her quest for true love; that would have saved her, and her amazing songwriting ability to keep blessing our lives too:

That’s what I meant when I say love is important, and the key for anyone’s life.

Catalina's bliss!

I found it… and in some lil time I’ll be walkin down a beautiful aisle, with the most amazing family and friends, in the most amazing other Country ever (which is LOVE for me, too), all dressed in white (creamy white, camon) to join my path along the most amazing man who ever walked down this planet.

Don’t expect personal pictures to surface though… and so no guests will be allowed to share them (ehi… our bodyguards can be tough… lol!).

Private times are sacred for us, but you will get a glimpse and a stream of joy that’s for sure, because happiness is ruling me so much I can’t avoid to share it 🙂

Karim… I love you.

I promise you will never regret putting that ring on me.

See you after Japan bliss… keep checking twitter if you wanna look out for more 😉

Incoming bride Miss Z. salutes you…and what will I be after? Missus Z.?

Maybe 😉

Take care and have a great August everybody 🙂 I leave you with the return of >The Chief!!!

Hail to Noel Gallagher and his beautiful Death Of You And Me from High Flying Birds‘ incoming record – that of course I already pre-ordered.

Enjoy!:

PS: I finally agreed in doing something for Marghe and Serena and their Maroon 5 dedicated blog that I host 😉 BUT… I will just put up things… THOSE things… without editing. because for edit them I’d have to watch em and NO WAY 😉 Yes… I keep being in denial of that and pissed off on the whole Fuckery thing.

Wait some hours days. We’ll work on that in Japan I guess 😉 from on the plane ;).

That will help chase away tinglings probably… ouch?

Sounds like I am turning bridezilla???

One of Karim's amazing gifts made out of fresh roses, in honor of my own name 🙂

Nah.

Trust me I won’t ;).

Morning!!!

Relaxing on K's family yacht. Insane 😉

Just got back from a quick weekend on boat (even though after experiencing K’s family “boat” my own one seems like minuscule… and it’s really much NOT so… ;)!), and in less than half an hour I’ll be at the stable to spend more time with my Swifty baby.

I gotta be rushing because tomorrow we leave again towards the States, destination MIAMI for a bachelor time with only American friends this time (whoooo! Love Miami in July, and its vibe… I’m happy I will e wearing as usual my Lakers pride on my sleeve without having to stand any of Heat fans trying to bother, since they lost the ring ;)!!!)

After Miami we will fly (oh, and keeping using K’s uncle private plane… that undoubtedly makes it easier to celebrate our incoming hitching times ;)!) towards Los Angeles, where our house will host again all my Italian crew because we will attend (not all of us, only a selected part of devoted fans… although my level of fandom has drastically decreased since The Fuckerythat thing“) Maroon5 gig at The Hollywood Bowl (and hopefully only K&I will also be attending the day before Stevie Wonder’s gig there… awww I really hope we can make that!!!).

I know I will have a great time there, don’t get me wrong: for me the best version of Maroon 5 is actually when they are on stage so surely I will adore it all.

In fact, what let me SO down about Adam was exactly that he ditched that live on stage sparkle to sign onto what I will always perceive as a selling out by him.

But I know I can’t set back time and I will have to deal with the fact he isn’t anymore what I loved him to be, not fully at least.

Now he likes Reality tv, he loves to be friend with JUSTIN BIEBER (feel me throwing up) and allegedly he’s also into golf now.

SIGH.

So long to so many things I used to love about him (many of them being things he used to dislike or not conforming to, while now it seems I’m alone in hating reality tv, pop fake puppets and overrated rich sports)… but at least his voice still perfect and unique, right?

His voice and talent will always maintain a place for him into my “I like” list, no matter how many idiot and despicable career choices he will make (till some extent, at least).

Anyway I am sure I will adore Hollywood Bowl gig as I loved their Paris gig even on the eve of my The Fuckery The Voice shock.

Maybe Adam will invite Drunktina Christina A. on stage and will perform just as he will on Moves Like Jagger video:

And with that sentence I mean HALF NAKED, of course.

Now that’d make me tingle a bit, no matter how much he un-sexified himself down after becoming a Reality Tv “thing” (I don’t think I will ever be able to look at him the same after that… by now all evidences point towards this sad fact), he still one of the finest specimen of men who ever lived on this planet.

Yep, he will always be hot, hot in a very inescapable way right?

I loved that in the behind the scenes video making of he claims to be “a one woman man”, too: he should just decide himself and put a ring on Anne‘s finger.

ASAP.

They need to marry, and multiply their so blessed genetic code.

Error
This video doesn’t exist

Do it, Levine.

After you’ve so much changed that now you’re even into golf, you can become a married man too: age-wise, that’s expected (and in all ways better than falling for golf, really).

Talkin about that, and switching back to K&I (I mean… we just rule ANYBODY else really ;)), after the LA quickie we were meant to move with both USA & Italian crew to Las Vegas BUT we were at risk of crossing crass KardaSSian family SO we got permission to fly all to Catalina into K’s family house there.

That’s gonna be ROCKING!!!!

Now tell me if I don’t love all my crew ;).

I don’t think it’s possible to prepare better for a marriage than the way K&I are doing (for us and for the people we love… and trust our parties are insane ;)!).

After Catalina our friends will get back to their places because the last times before Japan reaching will be all family bound for me and my amazing half.

My family and K’s one will reunite first in San Francisco, then we will move to Paris (@ private homes obviously).

It’s gonna be awesome 🙂

The music that fits the most is this: my current jam, Jovanotti:

Ya’ll better follow my happy streak, to enjoy my preppy crazy times, ok?

I leave you with another song that I like (her voice’s so good I followed her also on Twitter, just this morning), the latest from Jessie J:

What else?

I guess not much 🙂

Catch you just before marriage?

I guess so 😉

Much love, Miss Z. 🙂

New York: this very morning. LOVE.

Okay.

I’m at JFK.

Ready to take off from New York to Paris.

It should have been such a wonderful time, full of lovely expectations and also some sprinkle of Fashion because although I have to be in France also for working duties (and so is Karim), tomorrow time of ours was mainly going to be a fabulous time at Casino De Paris, watching Maroon5 live in the first of three incoming European dates.

Except that that particular first chance has become THE ONLY CHANCE we will get (really, to get the first admission from TG Com was awful, too) for way a while time (there is the whole situation of the April Golf Event… but I think that’s on hold as well honestly).

No more cute fanmails from European fans that could interest them?

And I am not even sure I want to keep still watching the gig in Paris at all, frankly.

It would feel just too much of a farewell to my former love and admire of a band and a man.

What did happen?

There you go: The Shame. I mean... "The Voice". UGH.

By now many should know: Adam Levine is along Cee-Lo Green the first of a 4 panel judges to be part of the new Reality Singing Contest “The Voice”, namely the NBC answer to a question nobody decently smart enough cared for anyway, namely American Idol (and a fill in for that position before XFactor USA will reach the airwaves in the Fall).

So Adam decided to give up to his amazing talent, he decided to sell his bandmates to the shrine of self-indulgence, he kissed his world-fans a stinky goodbye, and WITHOUT EVEN TRY TO EXPLAIN OR APOLOGIZE (that makes me disappointed the most, because it truly shows how much he doesn’t care and he’s self-absorbed) he SIGNED TO BE A FRIGGING TV “PERSONALITY” on the NBC attempt to make even more losers get a record deal out of a saturated, completely idiotic market segment (read “reality show singing competition”).

I really lost all my respect about him in the very moment this news surfaced.

Somehow I am trying to dig deep inside me (and I don’t know why… because he does not deserve such a care now) if this refusal of Adam I strongly feel at the moment comes out of the momentum and it’s gonna get a patch over in a while, or if REALLY I do have to get accustomed to the way I am properly feeling I am disgusted by him, like I’m reckoning now.

If you have ever read me over Internet, you know how BIG this has to be for little Miss Z.

I have spent years adoring Adam, pros and cons, just because I have always found him – way before hot – a wonderfully talented and gifted and TRUE human being.

And now all is trashed by the worst choice he’s ever made, that screams in high volume “I am a hopeless fame chaser a person who cannot cope with lower than expected latest album results“.

Because to me this whole new event is linked to that… and it’s such a lame reason for such a full of bad consequences move.

I am appalled the way his bandmates are allowing him to ridicule them all… They really love him, but this to me more than a love proof is an enabling blind mistake that will cause a damage not quantifiable.

This is something the band won’t ever recover from because you don’t put a tv show in front of PLAYING LIVE… nobody serious about love for music will ever look up to them ever again!!!

This of course must mean something… it must give you reasons to ponder over, whether or if you feel like a real musician.

Which I fear Adam has stopped to.

Is it a temporary loss of senses?

Will it be forever?

The answer to this, the timing of this fuckery oblivion… it’s the thin line that may keep me care somehow about them or him.

Even though at this very moment the disappointment is so vast and wide it just eats everything around, and it doesn’t seem like my heart has space inside to still care about them at all.

It’s so bad and so sad for someone like me who has grown a total feeling of empathy with them, and with him, for almost 8 full years.

What did happen to the man who used to say reality shows sucked?

What did happen to the man saying proudly his band meant the world to him?

What did happen to the man pointing out he wasn’t a singer “like America Idol’s times”, because the way he used to do his job was rooting in way deeper inspirations?

Oh, Adam…

What an incredible, huge, incomparable disappointment you are.

I still worship your voice, but since this news surfaced, I’m not able anymore to like you as human being and I feel really like I’ve lost a friend there.

I hate this feeling I get anytime I think about you… I hate to hate you.

But right now… I truly despise you, I can’t help.

You’ve trashed my respect in such a mean, obnoxious way… it hurts inside… physically.

It’s awful, and maybe surely is an idiot way to feel… but you’re part of my “good inspiring people lot”… or should I say you WERE.

Oh, how it hurts.

I don’t recognize you anymore, and worst of it all, your words now sound all fake to me – and people know I can’t stand fakerism in any way, from anybody.

It’s this distrust that is forcing me to feel detached and negative about you.

I can’t like people whom I don’t admire or at least respect.

I can’t: to me the human factor is the main thing and right now to me you’re acting like a plain blind FOOL.

Sure, I can see what you did: you took a chance to make yourself popular again; it’s a free and respectable choice, IF BY DOING THAT YOU WOULDN’T HAVE DISRESPECTED AT ONCE YOUR FANS AND BANDMATES.

And worst of it all, if by doing that you wouldn’t have given up on MUSIC first.

It’s THIS… it’s your music betrayal that is making me bleed.

I rate music as the highest high form… Darn, in my previous post, in that Jewish Chronicle Interview you’ve given out a MONTH ago… YOU were the one speaking about music importance and greatness in your life and now WHAT?

You sell yourself to the lamest tv sham?

Really, Adam?

Really?

The credibility your quick announcement and cancellation made run away from your band and YOU especially won’t come back: you’re delusional if you think that could be restored or repaired.

We got your focus is in the USA only, by now it’s a certainty, but trust me that’s a choice you’re gonna regret pretty soon. Also your credibility in USA is gonna be trashed, because you’re now ONLY a tv puppet, and not a serious musician anymore, and all those with some decent salt in their minds will see it too much clearly to bypass the awkward feeling and give you a second chance at being anything more than “somebody like anybody else”.

You’ve sold out and it has nothing to do with music, but with the giving up of your musical essence in front of a cheap kind of popularity that won’t last (if it will ever come at all).

What a shame, for someone so incredibly talented who used to be so wit, passionate, smart and genuine.

I don’t see it anymore in you… certainly I couldn’t in this heat of the moment after you admitted the NBC signing on: this is so coldly calculated and so much of a loser move to me, I can’t even forgive myself for feeling bad FOR you, while I should just feel bad ABOUT you for the way you’ve flushed in the toilet anything that was once so distinctive and lovely about Maroon 5 and yourself.

The passion for music you had and represented is gone for what it matters, to my eyes at least, and I don’t give a fuck about seeing your sham on tv (because NBC is seable in Italy too); I don’t give a fuck about seeing you patronize young losers who are gonna make the music market even more pre-fabricated…

What are you gonna teach them, the way to betray loyal fans?

Because that is what you did when The Voice idiocity became more important than prove YOURSELF ON A FUCKING STAGE, no matter if whenever you go on that stage is clear you can rock the fuck out of it, because you have the talent to be simply awesome…

If you were bored with touring life, your band, and whatever was that made you disillusioned about the last year, you should just have had to be DAMN HONEST about it… I know a lot of your fans are so retarded they can’t even process a basic thought, but – this may surprise you – there were also types of fans like me who REALLY did care about your music and who have a really smartly functioning brain and developed music taste, and who are never gonna forgive you for what you did because your move just represents anything that’s OPPOSITE to smartness and vision and true music love.

I would have kept respect and love for you untouched if you had just been honest about the whole downwarding spiral out from HAO under-perfomance (I still think the album is great, just not promoted by all the worst kind of singles, and your laziness in going out of USA…), and you did admit and reveal you just wanted to try something out, in a clear and crystal way and confession.

Instead (oh, the shame!!!) you are not speaking a word about this damn choice at all, filling twitter with fake notes about loving the things you’re doing now (it can’t be true and you know it), neglecting truth and moreover keeping LIE about how many shows are gonna be canceled.

Because if the preparation of The Voice Of Fuckery will take you up and occupied in March, you certainly won’t be able to play around the world when it airs on tv, right?

What about Asia canceling then, Mr. Levine? Be honest, damn...

That runs from last week of April till MIDDLE OF JUNE at least… then why not telling it already to your Asian fans that you will never made it there, eh?

Grow a pair and face consequences, pretty boy.

You’re 32 in a while: you should be grown up enough for facing the outputs of what you’ve started, or is it good only when you have to count bank checks accounts in?

Talkin about money (which is amazing and important, when you make them HONESTLY), have you got an idea on how much people were spending to arrange trips and staying for your supposed dope shows?

No refounds can be given there, Mr. Levine.

I don’t care because I’m fucking rich and to me losing bookings is not a drama; I could even fly whenever I’d liked to to NBC studios and see your FUCK SHOW live often for what it means…

But MY reality isn’t everyone’s reality and it’s repulsive the way you haven’t spoke a WORD directly about this all in more than 30 hours.

Oh Adam… while at Hanky Panky yesterday in Amsterdam, you should have requested your new tattoo shouldn’t read I love “mum”: it should read I love mirrors on me and “$$$”.

It’s not a bad thing in itself… but at least be openly spoken about this all, and stop telling you love Europe and the World, and touring, when you just like to be at your home.

It’s not bad “in itself”: it’s bad if you FAKE other things instead to cover how you really feel.

What a grieving shame.

You know it all already; you know how many more fans are gonna be tricked that yet are unaware and keep hoping: but you’re staying mum and I guess it’s a deep sense of shame (I’d wish it’d be: it would mean to me you are still be someway true somewhere under your paths of self-destruction of what once was such a wonderful display of talent and creativity, instead than a rushing orientation to a spotlight that will never suffice to your parameters anyway…).

I wish you had been canceled gigs for whatever other reason than this one; for starting a family (which I would have SO loved, really), for becoming a MONK even…

I wish it had to do with something more relevant and noble than a way to make yourself pathetically visible like any other regular pop shame personality out there.

I am finding an impossible hard time in getting you this time for finding a small way to forgive you; the main obstacle about this process of copying stays in the fact you’re not being real nor true about the reasons of this move.

It’s the lies, or the truth untold and hidden, that make me icky and sick about you.

It’s a feeling that makes me die inside in my most innocent part.

It’s the youth I had that goes away, I fear.

It’s sad and it bites me inside like a poisoned cobra.

I thought you were an artist… I always, always, always thought of you mostly and mainly as a wonderful, unique artist.

Instead by now you’re just Adam Levine. My former favorite person out of my real world ever, who is hardly battling me and my stubborn memory after proving himself through a terrible choice one of the weakest and most insecure people in recent memory.

I’m so tempted in saying you farewell, and just wish you the best…

I would always wish you the best for the great times and inspirations you’ve gifted me with till 24 hours ago, even though right now you seem like you’re never gonna be a person I will trust or respect or look forward to anymore.

I have this voice inside that wants to push me to say goodbye to all that was so incredibly amazing and good about you: I could still love your singing voice, which is a miracle of perfection and uniqueness; I could still just cherish and adore your songwriting ability… but from what you’ve done, this voice wants me to profess I just can’t like you anymore as person or artist.

You’ve decided YOURSELF you are not an artist, in fact, so I would  just follow your lead there, for one last time.

But maybe as I said it’s just the heat of the moment.

It’s so hard to give up on you and the guys… because after so many years of profound empathy, get rid of you is like get rid of a too much of a chunk of me.

I don’t know if I am ready to.

Time will tell what this will leave me with.

I hope it was worth it Adam: I truly hope you’re assured it was, because like me, you gotta realize a wide cut of your no USA fans feel like you’ve just proved yourself like a giant, uncaring, horrible douchebag (I hate to have written this about you, but this time… oh man, you are so deserving it!) .

I have in this iPad I’m writing this update from all the framed passages of what still your greatest gift to me, these days: Stutter, my marriage song.

The video which I have been prepared is too beautiful to be canceled and anyway I unlike you have a way to maintain my promises and words.

And I don’t cancel things just because I don’t like the way sun or clouds fill a day instead than another one.

These images, these drawings… the way you and Anne are shining through colors in what I have so carefully ordered and detailed… this still keep please my heart.

I got a sunny feeling when this very morning, just when, as  I twittered my New York morning cheer, I read that Anne was there with you in Paris, in your free day, after her Los Angeles party time at Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

See?

That let me know I keep feeling strangely happy when I picture you and her together… and if I do, it’s because I know with her you are happy Adam.

So maybe yet I don’t fully loathe you, even though for the way you’ve silenced your artist’s side, you’d deserve me – and all of your loyal and music-lovingly fans – to.

So… let’s go to Paris.

Paris still beautiful no matter who hangs in there, who’s not such a beautiful soul to me anymore.

Maybe watching your gal at defilées (I knew she was going to be there, so I think in the end I’ll actually see her catwalking) will make up about you too.

Maybe… maybe time will heal this awfulness I am picturing now about you, this disturbance I get if I try to recall why I have always liked you so for, which right now is punching out and battling with the unnerving action you’ve decided to sign on to.

And the most awkward and stinging thing is… I don’t even know if I want to hope about this, or not.

Time holds all answers… so let’s just make it pass.

Au Revoir, Mes Rêves! Et À Bientôt ou…non?

Nous verrons ce que nous verrons.

Hola!

19 hours after the takin off from Malpensa...

I’m around packing and unpacking and repacking for a very intense  schedule, folks… and since it has been one month without updates, I thought about givin you some.

I’m in a very dreamy place as I am writing this… I have a breathtaking view in front of me and I am relaxing with my man after hours of meetings and professionally mattering dinners out.

I am at a very wonderful place right now… you will see at the end of the post ;).

I am actually patching something like… erm… 450 links into this one update, as I am traveling Milan > Los Angeles > New York > Paris (and then it will be Paris > Milan > Berlin > DEATH BED I guess ;)…).

Get used to these very sporadic dates with me in this fashion, because life is just too full for me to have more time to ponder about blogging.

Twitter has taken over as my favorite way to communicate thoughts around: it’s faster, less invasive, immediate and carrying the phone around everytime makes it a quickie that fits my fast life pacing way better than blogging.

It’s just the way it is 😉

I have been recovering quite decently from Labyrinthitis (see previous post), even though I still a bit dizzy at times.

Cuteness female...

Before taking off to Los Angeles (via London) I had finally the permission from doctors to ride my Sweet Swifty again (well, I didn’t really ride him… I mounted him for some dressage… the both of us needed some “contact”  between us after almost two months parted and even if that isn’t our favorite thing to do together, believe me it was clear my lovely horse was finally ecstatic I was on him again).

I also had a wonderful Carnival party in Milan just the other Tuesday: Sami decided to do her best and allow Karim and I to not miss the bash (as we are all over the world in the main festivities… we will have to also attempt a strange version of Ambrosian Carnival in between Milan and Berlin moves…).

I also probably chose my marriage dress.

I said “probably”.

I completed my 8th fitting and out of 8 stylists I have one dress that I have fallen in love with.

As I return home from the other side of the world I will have the final say.

The stop in New York with our wedding planner will furtherly drive me there, I guess.

Cuteness male 😉

Though you know… all these trips are actually for working meetings mainly (but I always manage to fit in more things,especially after at the end of January it was Fede the one flying to New York to substitute me in the originary planned first partner meeting of 2011…).

While in Los Angeles Karim had actually been invited to some of the gazillions luxurious super parties that are in town for the Academy Awards… but he denied all of them because in the small free times that we have out from working commitments we like to live the quieter side of the City of Angels, staying in our surroundings, getting accustomed to our house (which we sooooooo love) and share time with just one another.

Then, Mash is in Europe for the Weeks of Fashion in the main cities and we have no chances for threesomes this time (okay, at the aforementioned parties sure that could have been an option but we don’t like cokeheads and those parties LIVE up and on on cocaine… so no thanx ;))

Vintage gig 2007

The best part of the Oscars time is that we will get to get off from LA to NY takin off from LAX when NOBODY will leave the town… that will make our internal USA move way more pleasant 😉 (yes, I consider lots of famous people absolutely insufferable so I actually hate when it happens that we find them in first class… mainly because the wide majority of them are ALL but first class people in the end ;))

But okay… let’s be a bit more clear in this update… tracking back from last month or something 😉

Not that I have actually done that much myself, because for a good cut I had to be struck at home battling the development of “Laby”; I thank the Skies that I have the cutest friends, the most awesome family and the best boyfriend and fiancé in the world because without their care and support I would have really become gloomy.

I hated being dependent and I hated to not be able to be me; now it’s better (of course, I’m even traveling…) but I still unable to swim, do yoga, and do all my regular things so there’s space to improve yet.

I also am very blessed to have Carlo now, who’s the best personal assistant a human could ask for.

LOVE YOU ALL 🙂

One of the greatest news of the past weeks is that I WILL FINALLY SEE THE HANAMI IN JAPAN:

Yes, we will go there for my birthday as we have also to check the in-location places our wedding planner has selected for the marriage itself.

NO NEED TO SAY I AM OVER THE MOON!!!!

Spending Sunday Morning in LA: No Lakers on tv. We stroll around 😉

Talkin about trips, we also managed to have a lovely Valentine Day’s private time, unexpected, and awesome, in beautiful France again.

Nothing like Paris… we have rented a house we are just about to use again in a few days from now when we will fly from New York to Paris: first for Maroon5  gig and then for more working commitments (both of Kand myself).

I must admit these hectic times, my Laby stumbling, the fierce chaos of my life trying to keep pacing with the marriage organization, the pr duties, Karim and I needs for time quietly together, the way we cannot ever neglect our amazing families and friends, forced me in many ways to give up on things I do love, like for instance watching Lakers games at night (I am forbidden by doctors: I have to sleep at least 6-7 hours a night) and therefore also writing in the Lakers Blog has been cut (not the reading though), even though some special events, like honoring phred, had to be done anyway ;).

I also gotta have a moment of pride still related with Laker Nation Fandom…

Because when Adam talks about Lakers, Lakers listen and sometimes they retweet him: of course that prompts a double enthusiastic response from me, that got acknowledged by… GOSH!!!!

Amazing @Lakers THEMSELVES, who…

So, The Lakers sent me a Direct Message on Twitter... 😉 *Me #FTW* 😉

YEP… They sent me a direct message.

That made me giggle (okay, it’s idiotic but I reacted so 😉 what can I do… ;))

The one and only Kobe Bean Bryant ALL Star MVP. For the 4th time 😉

We are pondering about some Laker-Land moment… we have been on such a roller coaster about our Purple and Gold, but we keep rooting, always and insistently, because our blood PULSES in Lakers colors and we just couldn’t be anything less than fanatics about them.

Some things put us in a great orientation (the All Star Game, the Boston Game, The Portland Game…) but some other things just don’t ring true…

STILL.

We just gotta hope playoffs see us blossom- and we gotta trust the one and only Black Mamba. ALWAYS.

The way the latest trades have shaped the NBA is tricky in my opinion and not in a good way for us.

I don’t like (unlike for instance Adam) the way the East seemed to get tougher: I strongly believe the best the competition is in the League of belonging, the toughest and most focused a team becomes; plus you may imagine how disgusted I am about the way DARN KNICKS TREATED MY DANY.

Homeboy got betrayed.

From now on, think of that, my list of dislikes about teams goes this way: 1) Miami; 2) New York; 3) Boston.

That’s it.

My very productive time in Los Angeles.

It’s also too bad while in Los Angeles we missed a good chance to see the GOOD version of the Lakers (double disappointment because Anne was there too with Gene and Noah… getting sweetly excited and as funny as ever…), because these some as 56 hours in LA are only dedicated to work for me (meetings on Friday, representative dinner on Friday, Meetings on Saturday, representative meet and greet on Saturday – when everybody not working would be partying for pre-Oscars…- then on Sunday we are chosing to rest and… to have a special surprise then takin off to New York at evening.

People are calling us insane for givin up the BIG “W” party (Karim’s family… how to put it in… is “friendly” of them brothers…) but we couldn’t care less: we went  (I WENT) in LA this time for my business, and sorry, when it’s about focusing on serious things, the party girl in me disappears in front of the “I’m gonna become a millionaire on my own” one ;).

Without regrets at ALL.:)

But ehi, at least Lakers do look better now even though Kobe Bryant’s elbow newly injured against the Clippers might be a new and further concern.

Oh… a worthy mention in this blog update – before I forget – FOR SURE has to be the amazing show Roberto Benigni did at Sanremo Festival.

Benigni is this era Charlie Chaplin… only even better if it’s possible to say.

The most exciting thing that is actually keepin on making even these days that I am away is the video homage I’m planning for what will be OUR MARRIAGE SONG, namely the wonderful STUTTER.

Meli started working on it by the end of January and she has provided some amazingness so far that I am willingly sharing with you all (the video will be nothing like this… believe I’m putting my best in it).

I think this time the best link in between the posts about my life and the M5 related stuff is clearly this fact 😉

So take some sneak peek at what Meli has drawed and remember to tune in around middle march on my Youtube Page, because this time the homage to Adam (and Anne)’s birthday(s) will actually be Stutter:

Error
This video doesn’t exist

And now after my business let’s try to track back more than a month of M5 news, even though starting with music I should say first that:

NEW RADIOHEAD ALBUM  THE KING OF LIMBS IS AMAZING and definitely already best album of 2011 (sorry, I know… you may try to argue but you lose): as soon as it came out (a day earlier than planned) Karim and I went to Florence for an awesome weekend and we did listen to anything but that. Codex is at the moment our favorite song in the world and that’s why I have used it as backsound of the lil collage in motion that I have made of Adam and Anne at the 2011 Grammy Awards (you will see it later ;))

NEW ADELE ALBUM IS FANTASTIC and I’m thrilled all the world is tributing her glory (it’s months that I am saying she’s best female vocalist currently), plus, Adam himself declared the most right of loves about the whole package (so his taste still good, because incoming awful collaboration with Travis McCoy could have set people off there… me certainly 😉 ) Gym Class Hero my assADELE is one voice he should aim to collaborate with. PERIOD.);

COLDPLAY ARE PLOTTING FESTIVALS AND I WILL SEE THEM IN ITALY AND BRAZIL (cos when they’re in UK  I am taken with marriage ;)),

GRAMMY AWARDS THESE YEAR WERE AWESOME (but that is gonna be encompassed in the M5 post part anyway ;))

I ADORE BEADY EYE’S “THE ROLLER” AND THEIR WHOLE RECORD, and I have got further evidence Liam Gallagher’s voice is just magical to me.

We were leaving from past post Adam and Anne in Los Angeles together; she had arrived after her own commitment that made her miss the Critics Choice Awards after shooting Never Gonna Leave This Bed video, which was shot after Adam and the guys had a great night out with PJ Morton at the Troubadour.

I recuperated a video of the after party of the Critics Choice Awards, but I still unable to break the codex that keeps the USA images of the performance honoring Tarantino impossible to be viewed outside US (I haven’t really minded that enough maybe, but ehi, I have a life so content yourself ;)):

And while we’re at, check the awesome duet on Heavy of Adam and PJ at the Trobadour from this post (click over and you will see the page and the live video, too):

Adam Levine and PJ Morton perform Heavy at the Troubadour

I also found a very cute page with a video of Adam and Jesse sharing some cityseeing tips that you might like (they’re always hilarious together); again, click on the pic and get to the video page:

Maroon 5 can't live without this...

Anne in that maintime as you know had to rock her new bangs in the Pepe campaign that I showed you before; those days away she also tweeted about some things she was doing in Spain that later shaped up to be a WONDERFUL celebratory issue of Harpers Bazaar’s Spain: for their 1 year anniversary issue Anne got the cover and a gorgeous editorial; she also did some things in Germany do you remember?

Yep.

And do you remember (see last post) when around Xmas time she tweeted from LA that she had a photo session with Yu Tsai?

Well, that ended being a wonderful spread for TUSH Magazine.

Since I like all those, I created a little video to present you all the pictures 😉 (and I like the song that I picked up for soundtrack… I know… you know… I might be cold towards her voice but I LOVE all her songs which are dance-y and speak of heavily sexual stuff 😉 I rely 😉 LOL):

Anne was away also to be the first Face at Escada’s defilé, as you remember, and those images are also into this other mini video that I created that unifies some random images of Adam and Anne (also from her previous years’ Sports Illustrated spreads… more to come about THIS year after of course):

After all those commitments Anne flew back to Los Angeles, where she could appreciate lovely romantic things such as the full moon and less iconic, but still great more playful things like bowling… and allegedly she as skills there.

Anne beats Adam in bowling 😉

Many skills ;).

Adam and Anne spent some lovely days in Los Angeles, and Adam also came out to support Sam’s gameshe could be a perfect soccer mom – ; allegedly they ventured out all lovey dovey in their own business time, but we got to learn through third parties that allegedly they couldn’t keep much hands off one another.

And I mean…

Also in public places 😉

I so totally picture that… *sweet* and *very sexy*.

Karim and I do the same so I completely support them there ;).

In fact the two lovebirds, after the cuteness of their Los Angeles rendez-vousflew way before the rest of Maroon 5 in Jamaica; Maroon 5 were meant to be part of the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, but Adam and Anne decided to go to the beautiful Caribbean Island before and alone to… well… to keep minding their own business.

And they decided those days alone they would have been REALLY alone: they cut off all phone related facilities.

*lovely*

In full.

Then they had business, and a good one, as a band of course.

Read some interview of James about the way the guys love islands ;):

James about Jamaica Jazz

You will see from the pics from the event that FINALLY after more than a gap of 16 months (last time he had done it he was with Angela Bellotte in New York in September 2009!!!!) Adam DID SHAVE HEAD AGAIN, rocking again one of his many styles (and you know I love him with the razored-off hair… his face is so beautiful he can rock it so well).

Finally!!!!

I was like “What is, Anne is banning you from doing it?” (insert cute laughing ;)… I don’t think she actually did it), because you know that elapsed time without chopping off all his Chia-Pet like hair was really unusual for Adam ;).

I actually remember that years ago somebody told me Jane (yes… THAT Jane, the one and only, Miss – now Missus actually – Jane Herman, daughter of Fred Segal’s owner Mr. Herman, the Muse behind “Songs About”) used to mock Adam’s shorter do.

Jane Herman. That Jane of "Songs About Jane" ;)

Don’t know if that is true (by those times they were in not happy terms with one another, though now they are ) but whatever it is, you know I am grateful forever to Jane because without her cruelty to Adam, we wouldn’t know Maroon 5 at all ;).

Really... trash. REALLY. Glad it never blossomed. UGH.

And by the way, you know the only girlfriend Adam had that I really HATED to see him paired with was the Bunny Ho herself, Janine Habeck, the German playmate.

I am so so glad after that downfall (I don’t consider the flings he had with Parasite Hilton a serious thing, so she’s out of the UGH list but just because it was a fuck&go thing, that anyway gave us a cooooool song like Figure it Out ;)) Adam’s taste in women got back decently arising.

And you know how ecstatic I am of his choice over Anne.

Because I like him with classy looking people (you know I always loved him with Natalie P. too, even though she loved to make him feel culturally inadequate… like she uses to with anybody not “Harvard”-ed after all ;)…

But better a noisy obnoxious LOVELY and talented Natalie than anything nearby the trashy territories that Janine Habeck symbolized.

But okay, let’s stop this gossip back down to a not so stellar memory lane and let’s get back in Jamaica where the two lovebirds took sun and

well…

You will see from tweets and images from the gig…

Some kind of reproachable fashion sense.

*sigh*.

Adam… dear Lord… why oh why sometimes you go THAT color blind?

The wrong kind of rainbow around your body can kill even your undebatable hotness.  And capri pants on a male… gosh they’re so awful… Okay that Jamaica (in the words of Jesse I presume) may have changed you forever, but hopefully your perception of what’s good to wear will get back soon to “PRIOR” to it? 😉

The pictures in the small video are a sneak pick out from THIS SET on Flickr that you should check cos it’s AWESOME:

Okay that you loved those shoes… but why being a colorful hippie meeting an emo guy?

Adam and Mickey in Porto Rico, January 2011

Luckily the stop after Jamaica (Porto Rico) saw Adam keep the shoes, but being way better matched in the rest of the outfit…

As this picture evidences 😉

It makes me laugh sometimes to see how Adam can transition from being PERFECTLY ELEGANT AND PREPPY to be honestly looking like a homeless (and still hot, because with that body and face, he would be hot even dressed in recycled paper…)

Take a Journey in Adam Levine’s Style Rollercoaster through clicking this link (and know that for me the preppy style is actually his best and will forever be, because his noble features SHINE when he’s aptly dressed…)

The Caribbean tournament in Porto Rico wasn’t followed by Anne who had to fly away (and she also of course had loved the Magic of the Island… I wonder if she’s the reason Adam claimed there it changed him forever? I guess SO);  but we learnt soon that the two lovers would have reunited a bunch of days later in Dallas for the Superbowl: Maroon 5 were set to perform, both at the Saturday Direct TV Celebrity Bowl Bash, and for the Tailgate Party of Fox the actual Day of The Superbowl on the official entertainment schedule.

While parted, Anne got to see the movie that I loved the most personally out of the Oscars’ roaster, the AWESOME The Kings Speech. And since her taste are great (who can argue?) she seemed to love it as much as me.

Adam… well… Adam has other tastes for movies.

SIGH. 😉

Btw, you do remember Anne filming with Freja in London when she was there in the days of Maroon5 presence past October, do you? (yep, the very romantic time they had there, and the days when Adam shot the Cosmopolitan naked spread, yep)…

Well, that was for the H&M new Spring Summer Campaign, and now you can see it (click on the picture and you’ll reach the page with the video of the spot):

Anne V and Freja E for H&M Spring Summer Campaign: click on for video

Now let’s instead get into lovely Mickey Madden’s world (you know how much I do have a soft, soft, SOFT spot about him!!!) because he proved once more how much of a lovely and deep creature he is by speaking again about his veganism.

You know I am not into that, but after reading him you know also I totally respect that vision too (mostly because he doesn’t act nor speak like a self assured blinder about it):

Mickey and his dedicated vegan behaviour

You gotta just love Mickey don’t You?

While on the break before Super Bowl, and among chronicle still of their Caribbean times, all of the guys obviously returned to Los Angeles.

The tenderness that California home inspires to them all, but mostly Adam makes it so hard for them to bend to touring.

Gotta reflect on that, because now that they’re actually on the other side of the world, you often, very often get the clear feeling that although they sure love to meet and play for fans everywhere, they also undoubtedly are kind of resident types of musicians.

They always were.

In a way I am glad in my life I’ve got to see them so many times (these incoming triades of Paris, Milan and Berlin marks if I recall correctly my 16th, 17th and 18th times I’ve seen them live…) already because a tiny voice inside me says quite insistently that it might be not much time left before they openly and totally change their vision about going all over the world to play live.

Adam tweeted from Superbowl (see later) about the 17th Birthday of Maroon5 – then Kara’s Flowers – on February 6th: I can’t help but thinkin this time 17th might actually be a not so happy number.

As they would say…

“It’s just a feeling that I have”.

But it’s pretty consistent and I have to say some of the rumors that are floating around about tv shows (I will talk of that later) pretty much confirm these feelings, actually.

Let’s see 😉

PS: In this very moment I’m listening to one of the best albums ever, by a recent discover of mine (how late I am there? I feel ashamed!).

PLEASE CHECK ANYTHING BY “JOAN AS POLICEWOMAN“.

That’s pretty PERFECT awesome music.

For real.

I’m also very into I BLAME COCO at the moment. Northern European music genes produce amazing beats.

And then, beside Radiohead and Adele (see above), I am TOTALLY and completely in LOVE with the awesome iTunes acoustic session of Maroon5, which is pretty spectacular and which I have used a lot in all my patchwork videos of this update as backsound tracks.

It’s AWESOME.

GET IT FROM THIS LINK: and do like me… buy only original music if you want to keep music alive.

Okay, back in tracking 😉

Oh… while I’m all over the world Meli still drawing for me of course… though u gonna know THIS PARTICULARLY drawing she already made a few weeks ago had been brought to our Los Angeles home

Gotta put it where it belongs the most (see above about Adam being difficult in partying from his native town… LOL!).

I thought it was fine to place his portrait in a convenient space…

Am I sweet or not?

Also sweet are Maroon5 Latin America fans (and I wonder… don’t they deserve a tour there too? Do it guys, don’t be cruel…).

Among curious news then know that Maroon5 music is also good to train for… FIGHTING.

Seriously 😉 Oh… and as usual Jesse keep sharing cute and brainful things, and they still SWEETHEARTS (Haiti isn’t forgotten right?) and so we all must follow their charitable lead, too.

Let's paaaarty 😉

As on the West Coast the guys were relaxing prior to Dallas, Anne was gearing up for the commitments with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit stuff. She also seemed so happy, poor lovely sweet creature… unaware yet how she would have been tricked – and STOLEN, in my not so humble opinion –  there once more.

You will see I had so much foresight there… unfortunately (not that I have anyhow ever trusted the taste of that magazine… they seem to prefer the most trivial models instead than those who could give them a classy sparkle anyway… So very and uncannily trashy americanism… so far away from European appreciation of elegance also in semi-nudity…).

Anyway, after all that it was SuperBowl Time, with the parties and the playing duties (too bad Adam did not also play at the Celebrity Beach Bowl, but only providing the music to it… I mean… Adam Levine, Matt Bomer at one sight? Malish beauty straight and gay at its peak ;)…)

The three days (that Adam almost missed due to the snowfalls and the late airplanes arrivals, while Anne flew way before him and way more in time… ;)…) were fullfilled and cute and among the minions things they did do, also regarding Anne including fellow SI Swimsuit gals, I have decided to cut the chase short and put all images in a mini video, so that you can get a complete glimpse of images and events, and I can just limit myself in comments by linking Adam and Anne’s twitter posts about the events later (and now).

I am starting to optimize also inspired by Adam’s witty mood – maybe – … or getting almost there 😉

Oh and yes… Adam was darn ORANGE at Dallas weekend.

Embarassingly so: I guess since he did shave from Jamaica, the gradient detach from the tanned skin and the shaved face forced him to a repair… but good Lord… that was so Jersey Shore it did hurt even his perfect face!!! (and in fact he admitted it later… though maybe his way to even the orange madness might not be that good of a solution either lmao… ;)).

From the tv take this excerpts of their perfomance from the Tailgate Party:

I just adore the whole of this to be honest… Getting glimpses of the happiness and satisfaction they all communicated out is satisfying for their listeners / followers too and makes you feel sweetly empathic.

It’s a mood booster in many ways, honestly: then I just feel fine in picturing all of the guys happy, in whatever way or due to whatever reason… I’m this much of a lightweight, yep.

And to be still more honest Keith and the guys would have been a better half time performers choice than dreadful Black Eyed Peas were in my book... the only thing I liked there was Usher’s dancing and since you know for me Usher‘s so overrated, you get an idea… ;).

During the days of Superbowl finally the awesome video for Never Gonna Leave This Bed was released: I STRAIGHT bought it from iTunes and unlike it did happen with the HAO video awfulness, the greatness of this latest video actually made me like the song MORE.

It’s an awesome video, check it:

Everyone was so excited about it, and RIGHTLY so 😉

Past the  SuperBowl Time, it was time for everybody to get back to Los Angeles, as Grammy week was approaching (Adam seemed inspired about fashion choices days before the event… LOL).

Yeah... you saw it already but why not again? 😉

Anne was actually able to reach LA safely and way before Adam did, obtaining good Venice spare time in between.

Days prior the event were a round of preparation, and also there were a pre Sports Illustrated public relation management for Anne, and for Adam a preparation pre European Tour take-off and add to that some time in the studio (hopefully for something we will be able to hear soon?).

But they managed to spend their good times together, and Adam couldn’t hold his praise for his lady not even with his more famous friends, like Ryan Seacrest.

And to be cute to one another (awwww… how cute is of Adam to worry about her safety driving?), of course (and to FrankieGirl!!! Look how cute she is…).

During the days in Los Angeles Adam got to see the video of Sara Bareilles‘s incoming new single, UNCHARTED, in which he sings and stars along with tons of others musicians, being part of the “writer block” song.

You all know I heart massively Sara and to me is always a soothing moment whenever she and the guys merge visions to produce true art in sound and motion and whatever else they decide to put efforts into.

Can’t wait to see the results (the video director is Travis Schneider, the same behind Vevey Forever video and book).

They of course headed to the pre-Grammies bashes, and the best among them is ALWAYS The Roots’ one.

Adam also gave some interviews.

One is on the March Issue of Women’s Health:

Adam on Women's Health Magazine March 2011

The other instead was given the days prior to the Grammies at the Jewish Chronicle and I TOTALLY loved it to pieces:

Adam Levine interviewed by The Jewish Chronicle Feb 2011

Back to the Grammy thing now… You know how much of a let down was last year’s Grammy to me, because I thought it was a pure shame to land Taylor Swift the major prizes, and I was fearing something awfully similar could have happened in 2011 too: instead, seriousness was restored.

This year instead I have to say practically all results were awesome to me, and I would have just let Eminem win more landing him the two SOTY and ROTY awards instead of landing them at over boring Lady Antebellum (I can’t help: country-pop to me is lame, lame, LAME).

I have also to confess that I think Train deserved the Grammy they took over Maroon5.

Maroon 5 in iTunes shots

That song (Ehi Soul Sister) was straight a pure pop-rock  gem and I have loved it completely since I first heard it: if any, you gotta criticize the Academy to not reckoning the greatness of that song in its due year (last one), but like it did happen with Maroon5’s win for This Love, the fact they put the “live” version of the song up for grab told everyone they were rightly the frontrunners for the prize.

I repeat… I think it was fair, actually. Too bad we couldn’t see Adam and the guys televised in another Grammy grab though, like they did in 2005.

Misery is a very good song, but it was no better: now if STUTTER had been instead the first single out of Hands All Over, I keep saying all the performance of the album would have been better, and I am SURE the success both the song and the record could have then enjoyed would have landed Maroon5 their fourth Grammy.

Adam said he is ready for 2012.

I appreciate the positivity.

Let’s see 😉

For sure one awesome thing was the fact Adam performed onstage with Rihanna, Eminem, Dre and awesome vocalist and songwriter Skylar Grey (they bonded at the after party, too allegedly), showing us once more how much of great musician he is, taking duties playing PIANO (I was blown away: that man can do EVERYTHING… if he only would focus on music “Kobe Mode”… *sigh* he can be so perfect being naturally himself):

Adam Levine’s talent is just MASSIVE. Face it.

But let’s start from the start…

Better… let’s start from the PRE-Start.

Adam caused a bit of Mayhem the Friday before Grammies when he couldn’t help but notice (as anyone older than 13) that the new Lady Gaga’s smash hit, Born This Way, was like a Madonna’s medley.

Given that Adam has always expressed admire for Gaga, it’s hard not to notice he was right.

Well, funny enough…

Anne had her entrance at the Grammies NOT along Adam… but Along Lady Gaga 😉 (you hear the song… tell me if Adam wasn’t right ;)):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

No shock or tricky facts… she just had the honor of being part of Lady Gaga’s theatric entrance in an egg, dressed by Thierry Mugler as a horned tall amazon, holding… a vassel that carried Gaga inside, like a womb.

And it was so sweet the way Adam rooted for her, once again Oh man they’re so adorable paired :)…

In this interview from the Official Grammy Red Carpet you see Ryan Seacrest interviewing BOTH Anne and Adam, as they reached the event on February 13th (this is a French News covering of Anne, too):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

Adam’s look was object of some controversy, too (and object of a funny tease by Kurt Sutter, Sons Of Anarchy creator, via Hart Hanson ;)).

I personally loved it (even tough you know I hate capri pants on a male, those pants were instead very European Fashion Forward, very stylish, and loved the whole of his mise).

Of course the Americans are too tacky to understand male fashion and they blasted him on the subsequent Fashion Police Show:

To be honest I don’t think Joan Rivers was actually rude or anything… I think she’s just a bit obsessed about Adam’s sexual life (you may remember a few weeks ago she said that thing about being a female in Hollywood, and getting busy with either Adam or John Mayer…)

Anyway after their entrance they of course stay together all time, and Anne changed her Alien Outfit in favor of an adorable silver and grey dress which was a very good match with Adam’s mise, too:

This video doesn’t exist

The party night was only partially shared though, because Anne had to fly straight towards New York to attend the David Letterman’s unveiling of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover.

Hence, after she praised her man, and before her man headed to the best and most secluded VIP party of the night, she ventured to LAX to catch a red-eye flight to Big Apple.

Adam's Valentine sent to Anne in New York

When she woke up, it was Valentine’s Day too… and she wished happily to everybody to feel it… because Adam sure made sure she had felt it, sending her flowers while she was at the backstage at Ed Sullivan’s Theathre with Letterman (AWWWW).

I wonder how cute that could feel…

Sending love from Coast To Coast 😉

It was maybe that one the call Adam was taken with while shopping in Los Angeles those hours – as you see in the collage below -, before leaving to Europe?

Adam Levine shopping in LA on Valentine's Day 2011

Because as Anne was getting preppy for the big appearing and all the 10 SI Swimsuit girls were gathering in New York, the guys were putting together the final details in their schedules (and suitcases) before saying “bye bye” to United States for a first tranche lasting 5 weeks (the 5 weeks where I WILL SEE THEM, so some truly amazing five weeks on my own behalf, sure ;)… but a strong streak for far away lovers, even though they will sure re-meet before… well, before Russian times for sure, at least ;)).

Anyway, Adam was cheering for Anne a lot, but as I predicted, and as the PR campaign was mostly making clear in the past month, the cover of SI SWIMSUIT 2011 went to a girl who keeps looking to me like a person whose face screams “I cost this much per hour” even though Anne seems of a very different opinion than mine (but she’s always so lovely, I wasn’t expecting any differently).

I can’t help: I find Irina Shayk‘s face really gross and vulgar (also her Intimissimi ad that keeps running on Italian tv screams pornstar to me…).

Girl has a wonderful bottom body (legs and ass especially) but she’s got plunging belly and an axis eyes/nose/lips which seems too much unelegant and trashy to me.

Adam and his love for Italian food

I can’t help.

To me this is a PR mistake, as bad as modeling choice as it was the lame Brooklyn Decker (but at least she was having huge breasts… Irina hasn’t even them instead).

I fear next year cover can go to Chrissy Teigen now, which would be a total laughable shame, as the girl TOTALLY is average looking (even less than that to me) and she’s short and pretty boring on any shot I’ve seen of her.

But she has a very strong support, the editors totally ride her up and it seems everyone finds her funny (Adam also started following on twitter both her and John Legend… I can understand the latter, at least ;)).

Well, it’s not really like Sports Illustrated is THAT much of a big deal (it maybe WAS, but to be honest Anne has the kind of body/features/style/shape that can allow her to do way more high fashion stuff, than SI Swimsuit could ever land to her).

It’s a long time SI cover models are never high fashion ones: Marisa Miller (beautiful, but short), Beyonce (I know… ;)), Bar Rafaeli (short and with tendency to get fat); Brooklyn Decker (a pair of HUGE boobs, no runaway shape, and a face that to be defined butterlike is way too kind).

Irina Shayk may be the closest the cover has gotten to fashion these past years, but still nowhere near credible fashion (her face is too overly sexualized to be ok in high fashion photography).

Anyway… These are Anne’s SI shots (not fine those bikini peachy colors… but she’s so beautiful nonetheless):

Adam touched down on UK soil keeping feeling very lovey doveyprobably remembering all the strolls he and Anne did that previous October I mentioned before.

It’s so sweet the way love makes the guy mellow… 😉

Maroon 5 for David Lynch Foundation: click over to jump there

Anne instead after the Letterman thing weekend started the celebratory in between New York and Las Vegas about the Sports Illustrated issue reveal; I’m not really sure about first outfit/makeup/hairdo (very 80’s… maybe a bit too much to my taste ;)), but she always manages to look adorable even in the worst kind of mises.

On the other side, her body is just to die for… ALWAYS (look the way her stomach is flat… awesome!)

I found cute beyond words the way Anne hinted at her stay in Las Vegas, because that was where she and Adam first met last year (when Maroon5 were the resident musical guests for SI Swimsuit launch – this year it was Ne-Yo); and as teasingly lovely the way Adam said he would have stayed mum about “details” ;).

The whole event was well covered, and as you saw in the above videos of Anne she also managed to take cooking lessons (awww… those might always be useful girl; also because you’re with a gourmet type of man and although he can cook, it’s never bad to learn how to do it also yourself, so you can kinda… tease him – and yourself – more ;)).

I really like the way Anne seems always upbringing and cheerful.

She’s the definition of a sweetheart, with the perfect look of an elf goddess.

In Uk Land in the maintime lovely Sara Bareilles (best tourmate ever with Maroon5 , because they’re friends from a life and she’s naturally fitting in with the boys) was sharing good vibes as well.

The tour started in Brighton, and then moved on to a stream of Uk dates.

Here it is a compendium video out of first night in London at Brixton Academy:

And after that, take Adam’s sweet whispers along, too (so tender!).

Those hours, some of the concertgoers had the amazing experience of having Adam PHONE CALLING THEM (well, some of their friends or lovers who weren’t actually at the gigs, actually); thing that as you can easily picture drove more than one happily insane.

Aahahhaha.

Click on this link and you will see a video of the phone call 😉 (AWWWW!!!).

If I can ever get that as well not (that I will push to be front row… Karim’s with me and we have kinda of a “good manners” type of deal ;)…) I would make him call Serena.

She’s the one who’s gonna miss both Paris and Milan gigs actually so… it’d be due ;).

Anne V in Los Angeles, February 2011 times

While in break times in London, Adam went actually shopping for clothes in one of the COOLEST (if not THE coolest) place the town can offer, namely Dover Street Market (Comme Des Garçons: whenever Japanese style is, Style RULES)

As the Las Vegas mayhem ended, Anne went flying to Los Angeles.

She’s one her track to become a perfect Cali person as well?

Oh, God knows how I wish it so!

Anyway, she was there for attending All Star Game (and poor Adam really was envying her there… poor baby ;)), and then (actually just by the time this post is being written and posted) the Academy Awards Vanity Fair Party.

Awww she is gonna be so so cute there!!! (and Adam had his Oscar time last year… so this year is fair she will send to him cheering shout-outs, right?)

In the days there (a full on week and counting) she also had Malibu sweet & dorky time, she had more driving testing experience (and all around car maintenance) and also, completely cute, she attended as you read way above the game Lakers played against Clippers, along Gene Hong and N.P. 😉 (the game Karim and I would have attended too, if I weren’t more than only focused on my business these LA quick days ;)).

Maroon 5 in Manchester, 21st February 2011

Think that weather hasn’t exactly been always perfect… but it doesn’t matter: I’m really glad Anne is shaping up to be Cali-obsessed.

It’s the way it has to be.

You know…good  influences ;).

Hopefully the two lovers had ways and time to be in long contact: also because Adam as per usual gets so homesick traveling far away he has the only remedy of keeping his system loaded on PacificStandardTime.

Adam also has a way to deal with touring boredome and that’s video-gaming.

Somehow new portatile phones facilities help him even more there.

Fruit Ninja is apparently a good cure as well, indeed.

Then there is always the ADD stopper by excellence to keep Adam relaxed while on tour… yep… the thing Snoop Dogg gets the most shouting up for… from Adam too, of course ;).

It’s very heart-warmening then to know and realize (as per usual actually) everybody gets ravished at their gigs.

It’s so making me angry (but after so many years of wrong biased reps, I am kinda used to it) how many people realize Maroon5 actually KICK ASS only when they go to their live gigs (where it’s impossible not to get how great they are).

It’s the “pretty boys making pop” kind of misunderstanding impression.

Adam in Kilt in Glasgow, 22 Feb 2011

Because of the way they look, and the way their music sounds, people assume Maroon5 is “just” pop.

Instead Maroon5 is GREAT pop, made by guys who can deliver magic live and who have actually their roots in the indie style of playing, more than any pop field.

But ehy… I know the wrong assumption is so rooted by now people will just change their perspective on them only if they get smart enough to actually catch them live.

I hope this is an option that can be kept going on for a while more.

I’m speaking like this because after their Scottish gig (look in the collage how funny Adam was wearing a kilt… BACKWARDS ;)) a news started spreading up in USA:

Adam and Cee-Lo Green seem to be in talks to become judges for a new singing competition, named The Voice, and produced on NBC (Universal TV partner… and Maroon5 is under Universal).

I HOPE THAT WON’T EVER HAPPEN.

Mostly because that would mean no tour, and I am not the only one thinkin people prefer great artist to tour and not being on tv judging; then I also think there’s no space for more audiences for more singing competitions (American Idol and XFactor are already enough filling); then honestly… unless Adam would plan a year break in case he had to become father or anything related… it’s just wrong for him to land his (undoubtedly awesome) face and expertize to a lame tv show.

I was so loving the impression I used to have he wasn’t fond of singing competition.

I sure hope this is a wrong feed of media.

Then… hasn’t Cee-Lo Green dissed Maroon5 lately?

I don’t really want to see a tv beefing in judging (and I love both Cee-Lo and Adam too much to wish for them to go on tv that way: they have to be on tv for singing THEIR music only.).

I better focus on UNCHARTED VIDEO PREVIEW (click on this)

Then I better share with you pictures of just happened gigs in Luxembourg (coolest state name for Adam… Lux indeed ;)), and keep thinking about boys touring the best way.

I mean… Adam, think twice about tv shows… Andrew WK wouldn’t find it any cool, so that maybe he wouldn’t ever think again you can still “Party Hard“, no matter how you could brag still about it (reversal psychology ;)).

Then take these links and pieces of news about incoming schedules (for Spring and Summer again… so no space for tv shows?) for Maroon5 in Usa, and Caribbean again.

Beside the June show for the Golf tournament, Maroon 5 are set to headline along their Grammy buddies Train the Mid State Fair on July 23:

Maroon 5 and Train for Mid State Fair

Prior to that, and before Maroon 5 will get back to Europe and Asia for keeping on their World Tour (from Istanbul, to Cairo, to Dubai… and all over Asia), the boys are slated to perform on April 12 for Tru Tv special series launch Performances:

This is gonna be cool... 🙂

I think BEFORE this Tru Tv thing (because Istanbul gig is on April 15th, so they got to fly over Mediterranean at least April 14th? Or they could be there by April 13th and then fly from Barbados to Turkey? Who knows ;)), they are going to be part of Breakfast in Barbados event too (and that is overchill and really pleasant scenery, yep):

Breakfast in Barbados 2011 event: click to be informed

So by all counts, I truly truly hope Maroon5 keep being on the road and not really put on hold by any tv show madness.

To me they are a band…

And a band is mostly and ultimately so when it performs live for their fans.

minutes ago... Los Angeles shining from Griffith Park Observatory

That’s why I can’t wait, after we take off to New York in some hours (btw, how cool is to type on iPad from Griffith Observatory and Park?), to fly over to Paris to see them once more…

And then in Milan, once more…

And again in Berlin… once more again.

I hope this chaotic and filled update was worthy the wait.

To be honest I won’t review it much because this weather over LA today is promising and Griffith Park is awesome; we don’t care at all about Oscar Chaos over downtown so we will just taste our hours in a very sexy way.

Oh… we know we’re missing Lakers game with OKC in these moments but… trust me… we are gaining magic nonetheless.

Kobe will forgive us.

Catch you in March.

Bye Bye and be All Up^^^^ ;)!

Good morning and sorry for the long absence.

Adam and lovely Frankie on greengrass

I know…

I’m late but you know what?

On top of all the planned staying-aways from blogs (due to holidays, schedules, and all that relates to our marriage organization) the past week I have also been plastered with LABYRINTHITIS (no kidding, I face another week of therapy at home, and that actually has forced me to pull out of my planned end of the month trip to New York: you can guess I’m not happy about any of this)… so be kind and realize there’s really a lot going on for this gal and blogging can/will be done in excerpts of time.

Ehi!!!

Combined with schedule and illness (snort…) I have also been forced to kinda miss AGES of Lakers games!!! Milan games!!!

You know it’s serious when even my sporty passions gotta step a bit aback.

Adorable Anne V in fashion magazines

This year is a very BIG year for me… I have such schedules that I have resolved to introduce into my life an element to avoid it to become untakeable.

So I have a personal assistant since last week (luckily he timed perfectly with my illness, so that my working tasks haven’t been completely forced to reprogramming, thank God…): he’s called Carlo, he’s kind, capable and gorgeous and he’s wonderfully gay (I actually decided for him among candidates when he was able to confess that in a very manly, totally natural, and even casual speech with me at the third go-through for the job).

The fact that I need even a personal assistant to survive furtherly keeps telling you that blogging really ain’t in my first priorities these days (though I still like doing it, when I have time), and if you follow my Twitter (also aside in this page) you are aware of what I am talkin about.

I’m trying to do my best with a day of mere 24 hours (well, while ill I spent most of that sleeping, but that’s because medicines are heavy, I can’t watch tv, and even music gotta be played really low… I can’t stay standing yet, only laying or seated, and of course no physical activity of ANY kind is allowed so in other words… boredom realm for real!!!)

Divine creature in his patio

It’s all I can say 😉

Oh… and I miss sex a lot.

Surprised there, I bet…

I also hate that anytime I fall ill I shrink and I become all skin and bones (and I don’t even have Chris Martin serenading me Yellow… well, actually Karim played it for me on piano the other day ;))

Can’t wait to feel better mainly for that (Karim btw has been an awesome nurse these days and also my friends have been all supportive and they came visiting me in floods… I love you crew!)

I will try to encompass the chronicles of this past month the best I can – given that I reduce chronicles to music basically, cos the sports that I can talk about is secondhand, which I hate in my current state- , but first, and very strangely compared to my usual behaviours, I share first the videos that i made lately.

You know from my previous post that I TOTALLY CAN’T STAND was quite let down regarding the idea Maroon 5 have had to make Hands all Over a single and get the video duties to that criminal who ridiculed the great original video of Misery (that’s just the worst ever video in the whole world, and I mean that stupid cartoonish cheesy horrifying UK version of it of course ).

So I decided that in My YouTube the first video homage of the year would have been the awesome cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” the guys did on Stern back in September (see the raleted post in this blog):

But you know also why I felt betrayed about the choice of pickin Hao as a single.

I WANTED STUTTER (the first three singles again, should have been 1) Stutter; 2) I Can’t Lie; 3) Just A Feeling or How; 4) Misery… THAT would have constituted way more of a positive bandwagon for the album… but that is gone by now… you know my opinion there 😉 if you read this blog don’t you?).

So I will have Stutter.

In Stop Motion.

With Karim and Meli (angel Meli!!!!! THANK YOU) drawing for me (my illness will slow down the preparation for it but March still the date to put it out).

I have a new set of tricks to train my Director attitude with.

And I am so into this all… I created a TRAILER for what will be my next YouTube Upload (by the way, Maroon 5 just shot the video for the fourth single, Never Gonna Leave This Bed, in Los Angeles… you will learn about it later in the updates ;)):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

And since we are at it… of course (just like it happened with their real video for NGLTB …) also MY female lead will be Anne 😉 becoming a drawing like the rest of the band and mostly Adam.. in Stop Motion.

Talkin about Anne… look how beautiful she is for the Louis Vuitton Resort Campaign Spring Summer 2011 ;):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

Okay… I have been toying with video softwares, you see 😉

Actually I also created a patchwork with stills of the incoming Never Gonna Leave This Bed video.

More shots and actual press videos of the making of will be posted later in this update (they are so cute cuddling one another… awww… the perfect couple they are!!)but for now take this and see all the fun that I am having with this patches (lol!):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

I’m properly like a kid with tech stuffs you know me 😉

Everything new on the matter to me is like Play-Doh: gotta put my hands on it and morph it into something that fits my creativity 😉

A little collage dedicated to the hotness that is Adam Levine. Enjoy 😉

During the holiday time when Karim family visited they were really shocked about the way I am at once completely tech master and also the way I can be traditionalists (yep, I can prepare homemade tortellini and cook pretty well, and teach that too ;)), at which Karim just said that is “my way to be Tao” ;).

Totally spot on.

Oh, let me add momentarily that I wish my guru Steve Jobs the fastest ever recovery: Steve, we’re with you.

I’m a tekkie and a proud Apple-ist.

I still haven’t the faintest idea on how to organize this post (Karim helps with typing cos I can’t yet obviously, while dear Fede, who will substitute me in the NY trip, put together the video updates under my requests… thank you guys ;)), so I guess I’ll just step back and start where I left you on the verge of Christmas.

LONG shot 😉

I know.

We left the boys and A Home for the Holidays was ready to be broadcasted: so there you go, enjoy it folks!

Red fits Adam so well (as much as it shines on Anne, too!).

Maroon5 have also launched a very interesting Photo contest that could allow you to pretty much roadie with the band on tour: check this especially and see the video (click on the image to jump on the page with video):

Send and image of LOVE and roadie along with Maroon 5

Trust me if I weren’t taken with that small thing that is marriage (…) I would ave tried it 😉 and probably so would have Karim 😉

Talkin about trips and who knows… marriage, the guys have added another Russian date to their schedule, in the amazing town of the Hermitage Museums. *sigh*. I’d love to check that one!!!

Adam and Anne shopping and loving it up

Adam has also been vocal in his funny way about his new years resolutions (and ask me why again the word marriage comes to mind… lol!).

Talkin about that, the two lovebirds we all love spent all the Xmas times together (awwww) and even though Los Angeles weather was strangely bad (but there have been moment of blissful sun and rainbows even!) they managed to make even rain feel absolutely romantic, as you’ve seen and as you will keep see.

Oh, man they melt me so fully!!!

During holidays beside Adam and Anne James for instance had time to practice with JJAMZ, and I can’t wait for that record in full (of course I’ll grab it).

Our favorite couple. Well, mine for sure 😉

Sweet Anne managed to have of course ANOTHER Xmas tree in Los Angeles too, and she tweeted an adorable picture of her stay.

Oh… yes: I keep melt of course 😉

Beside the bliss of their time together, and we all can so clearly see how much Adam shines in happiness any time Anne is around him, the festive time didn’t prevent our guy from tweeting some of what REALLY makes me adore him.

Xmas game with grandpy and Emma Zerner (lets not mention results...)

He vented against Sarah Palin a couple of times, and thank God, because that woman (??) is really a threat for EVERYONE (and sadly that got even truer around start of teh year, whena Deputy was shot in Arizona after her “advice”…), and his lively liberally oriented (well, he’s more an anarchist at times, but definitely more left than center than right…ALWAYS) soul couldn’t hold his despise any longer (I suppose he was watching Fox News at those times…).

What always makes me laugh is how his fans get surprised by his political beliefs.

Erm… Adam’s family especially from Patsy’s side is a well known liberal think-tank.

At Lakers Xmas game... shame... GAME. Game 😉

The Aunt he honors in the notes of Midnight Miles was the wife of his Uncle Timothy Noah, and whomever reads about politics in USA knows who he is.

Sure Adam may grow wary of politics (for disillusions) most of the times, but SURELY he would NEVER be a Republican, much less of the dull and idiot Palin’s type.

I love his political takes so much… Karim properly cheers at any of them (obviously).

That tweet saved him from my reproaches after they unveiled properly the Hands All Over video (I still can’t believe what they did with that… *sigh*).

BTW, certainly Anne had more fun at the movies with her pal than Adam did watchin Lakers getting destroyed on Xmas by the Meat. SIGH 😉 (He later joined her).

Vintage smirk in the dark

Those days they also started to share that they will play at this year SuperBowl: first as part of an event the day before, then properly at the Fox PreGame event along Keith Urban on February 6th (awesome!!!!), namely the SuperBowl Tailgate Party.

Talkin about incoming (well, that one is really a long way to come yet, it’s in JUNE) music+sports event, Maroon 5 will also play for those who play GOLF this year (and I might just check that, because one of Karim’s cousin is a PRO ;)).

Well, I’ll try my best to be there, accordingly with all the schedules of that period of course.

Of course 😉

After Xmas time it was time for the lovely couple and the whole of Maroon 5 to move to Caribe for the planned performances in Santo Domingo and Trinidad and Tobago.

Adam took it very “Indiana Jones-y” 😉

In the maintime, gotta say I LOVED the frankness of James in the Billboard article about the underperformance of HAO album (you know who and what I blame for it… with different singles and promotion plan, the album would have been a smash as it’d deserved, but now is late to re-adjust, and anyway it still a wonderful album).

Their honesty is always so pure and loveable.

BTW, Anne probably would have liked more sun to test her new glasses with in Santo Domingo… still, she managed to be adorable even under clouds.

Arriving in Santo Domingo

She’s naturally lovely.

The gig has been wonderful and here I prepared another video out from pictures… Enjoy:

Out of the beauty of the gig (universally reckoned) another really amazing thing was the way the band could actually be at ease in the places around.

I love that anytime it happens.

Another wonderful thing was that they moved out USING U2 airplane.

Adam was certainly happy on U2 plane 😉

REALLY 😉

How cool is that (rhetoric question)? 😉

anne V in Sports Illustrated vintage

Steamy Adam Levine. Yes please...

They moved from Santo Domingo to Trinidad and beside another lovely gig finally it seems Anne and Adam could enjoy some beach time (you know, those glasses they did buy in LA days before had to be usedsee previous post ;)).

I just love anytime they tweet about food: two very slender people who truly love eating the way they do are refreshing! (now I don’t know about eating shark, Sharky, but I guess it can be tasty… I GUESS ;))

Also the other guys could enjoy the beauty of landscape and lots of other pretty things (aww).

Gig was coooooooool as well like we can imagine (check photos HERE) 😉

I often think how their systems gotta be trained well with jet-lags and stuff, because swirling that much cannot be easy on your body.

I know what I’m talkin about ;).

From Trinidad they had to move to Atlantic City where they were scheduled to perform for New Years Eve and those days (see also the Billboard interview) it seemed that the verbose one was James (I never complain there… I love how bright and full of composure he always is):

Jimmy V for Atlantic City press

While we are at interviews, read also this cute one from the same press tour:

Maroon 5 work hard as a group: good to know 😉

After reading things not mine (tsk… tsk… ;)) let’s roll and notice how the gigs crossing from 2010 into 2011 marked the end of the LONG time of Anne and Adam together in row.

One day I'll run out of adjectives... and moans... 😉

Before the return of the lovebirds into their privateness though they sure had a great great feisty time, you bet (stashes involved shouldn’t surprised a soul there, right?) 😉

Gal had to start workin again, but it’s so sweet what they said about hoping the 2011 would have just to be as great as 2010 for them to be happy (and since professionally we do know Adam wished 2010 would have been better, it’s easy to understand what – WHO – made his 2010 totally unforgettable, right? Awwwww).

Now if only they’d stop watching trash tv… *sigh*.

Okay with How To Train Your Dragon but Jersey Shore??? Jersey FUCKIN Shore????

Adam, Anne… why? It’s so… irking… O__O (and no way I will link to the tweet of Adam about Jersey Shore because it almost made me puke. Holy… HOLY. JUST NO).

While Anne was getting back into her schedule, boys were heading back to sunny lovely Cali (well, maybe not straight sunny immediately as they went back…), and James for instance was intellectually ready… while Adam… well… Adam was being Linus.

Not the one of Radio Deejay (this is for Italians).

Btw, Anne in between tweets to Adam’s peeps let us know in some way why lately she did not carry her Pomeranian along while visiting and staying in LA… lol.

What was Anne heading to? You are about to see some 😉

First gal changed her look and got back to BANGS!!!! (yes… welcome back in our club Russian Fairy… you look awesomely pure with bangs… totally glorious m’am!!!).

She is beautiful. End of it.

You can see her shots from Paris offices of Elite Models (awwww) and then if you wonder what she used the bangs for as first move of the year…

She's totally elfic like. Awesome.

She worked it out for Pepe Jeans S/S collection ads, ladies and gentlemen!!! (GORGEOUS).

Enjoy the campaign:

Anne V and Jon Kortajarena for Pepe Jeans S/S 2011 ad campaign.

She’s just perfect. Perfect beauty. Perfect.

And that is not the only thing she was working for those days (I can’t wait to learn!!!).

As Anne was shining in what she truly does so well, modeling, Adam and James were spending some relaxing time and prepping for rockin Las Vegas at Aria HAZE Nightclub.

But before that, read the 25things you may did not know about Adam from US Magazine (hint: we DID already know ALL of them, didn’t we? I mean… they’re pretty common acknowledge among the longtime peeps by now?):

US Magazine 25 things you did not know about Adam Levine

I bet the maximum curiosity arose about Gene (Hong), because before Adam actually never so openly mentioned him (you might recall him in an episode of Mariah Carey’s hubby Nick Cannon show…?).

And keeping on with Magazines… he was also featured on Men’s Fitness February (the one with Ashton Kutcher on cover, that I obviously bought):

Adam Levine in Men's Fitness Feb. 2011

But don’t think I have no idea what you’re waiting for.

Let’s put it this way: the day THIS thing got online in the news, Adam Levine became a worldwide Twitter Trending Topic and as it totally should be the naturality and my blog got almost 1800 clicks in one day, because people were googling “Adam Levine NAKED“.

Yes.

Adam Levine naked for Cosmopolitan Uk. Hands provided by Anne V 😉

It happened that the images of Adam Cosmopolitan UK spread for the February issue (he’s the charity Centerfold) were leaked or at least previewed online.

Holy.

Moly.

Holy.

He’s just so completely PERFECT.

How gently and respectefully Anne tuckers his jewels in? Great check Anne 😉

And of course (talkin about aforementioned  perfectionS) the hands covering him as we know are Anne’s (well, of course… like she would have allowed anyone else to volunteer there… lol).

Beside the fact Anne’s hands are actually pretty thick if any, I completely love the way she gently tuckers him inside.

No really… *great job Anne* (collective sighing of complete envy?? You bet. Karim won’t mind… he knows how I feel there, it’s innate in me to lust after Adam… but I’m very respecteful of everybody… *involved* ;)).

His perfect body crafted through yoga practice tells you a lot of things (beside that he’s as fit as hell): he has no fat and he won’t ever have it.

No steroids or over-muscling there, which make grown up men after they hit 35 become FAT once they stop heavy gym regime; no, Adam will stay always that slender and sculpted, and no name could fit him more than “Adam” in fact.

God had really to think about prototypical male handsomely features when he had to shape first man on planet Earth, right?

Oh… yeah.

What you find in Cosmopolitan Uk. Now go drool for about an entire day 😉

Well… give me a couple of minutes to re-gain some decency and composure.

Thank you.

If you wonder, the charity Adam had to strip for is the EVERYMAN campaign for prostate and testicular cancer.

Adam Levine attends Lakers vs Hornets game at Staples in January 2011

Which IS a serious issue so after you’ve cleaned your saliva from desk, push any male you know about do those checks (and check your own partner, as gently as Anne did with Adam’s privates. It’s also a very sexy way to get intimate, beside being useful. And yes… Karim and I did that too ;)).

In the days of solitude from Anne Adam did not really avoid company: he went to Lakers game, then he stuck in the studio (thing that he’s doing a lot anytime he reaches back LA: good boy… keep doing it good boy ;)).

Talkin about Lakers games… *sigh*… I miss watchin them badly these days of illness… (Okay I’ll stop).

Then they went to ARIA HAZE Nightclub (Sam along and Gene too, beside Jimmy V… and some Matchbox20 pal allegedly too).

The night was awesome and I know well because Charisse (Karim’s cousin) actually went there.

Too bad the Arizona shooting actually numbered the night all across ponds for their family

But Charisse enjoyed the Las Vegas time of course and especially THIS cover Adam belted out of Nine Inch Nails’ epic CLOSER song.

We know it’s an all time fav of Adam and rightly so, because it’s so sexual and dirrrrrrrrrty of course he loves it (and he can do a wonderful rendition of it actually):

LOVE it.

So much.

Take the collages again…

and last one…

Maroon 5 at Haze Nightclub in Las Vegas 8th January 2011 - 3

Yeah… I’m loving cheesy collages lately.

Take it or leave it 😉 (even with Labyrinthitis I am stubborn and a nay-sayer… see?) 😉

His sexyness playing along.

After the gig and the beautiful sunsets Adam got back home of course.

My guess is that he avoided to be hungover in Vegas this time because being hungover in Vegas generally leads to strippers all over you and he had to imagine that wouldn’t have pleased Anne (Charisse has said to me there were wars among girls to get nearby to him in explicit way that night, but that he was totally unreacheable for that… GOOD THING ADAM boy. Good boy).

He had things to do… and to plan 😉

He also had to resist humors of good friends and TV mogul writers Hart Hanson and SOA creator Kurt Sutter about bikes… nakedness… you know… those things that haunt you if you’re hot and handsome and you still want to play Easy Rider 😉

Okay, it’s time for a bit of Flashback, okay?

I can put on thanx to my friend Siria the When I Was 17 episode involving Adam (it’s a re-reproduction… Siria thank you for recording it… you may have to do the same with the Critics Choice Awards… ;)), that a fellow British fan asked me about (glad to have filled her request, albeit in a no exactly perfect way ;)).

Enjoy this AMAZING version of Adam with cameos of Jesse and his mum Patsy (HILARIOUS and adorable man he is… also a bit of a bad boy… but with that face he can get along with it no matter what ;)):

And while we are at flashbacks, take also this small funny piece from Splash Tv on Adam’s past ;):

Am I good or what? 😉

Even ill… take note… lmao 😉

The night of the 11th January two things happened: the guys went to the Troubadour club to support (and play along) Maroon5 6th member PJ Morton (an awesome performance from everyone in the word of every witness) and Anne flew aside her man for a very, very blessed and important thing (after having shot her Victoria’s Secret Pink line duties, of course).

Yep.

The shooting of 4th single (but for me is like it’s the 3rd, you know why) “Never Gonna Leave This Bedvideo.

Awwww.

Error

The song ain’t my fav ballad on the record, but it’s definitely a good song and I just CAN’T wait for watching the final video out of it.

You have seen some of my own pics for the video, now enjoy proper images out of its shooting from media sources:

And this one too:

I can’t get enough of them together: to me is like watching a beautiful paint in motion.

They’re a livin beautiful art ensemble to me: my aesthete soul just gets fulfilled through their sight together; a peculiar version of Stendhal syndrome? LOL 😉

All I know is that nakedness fits the both of them just SO well ;).

Anne actually could remain just for the brief time of the shooting because she had to fly back to Europe first in Barcelona, for what is a cover and I can’t wait to discover of which magazine, and after that straight then in Berlin for Fashion Week (and in Berlin she was actually First Face for Escada defilée!!! whoooo), so she couldn’t take part in the Critics Choice Movie Awards the following day, when Maroon 5 acted as house band and honored Quentin Tarantino in a wonderful version of “Stuck In The Middle with You during broadcast (I will provide the video as soon as possibleblame damn codecs of VH1 and MTV usa 😉 for the delay).

While all that was happening, images of the video stills were making also the French drool ;), while I just have to agree with Modelinia and their article about the event: indeed Adam DESERVES the “best boyfriend” Award: Fo Sho… ;).

While you wait for the proper thing, enjoy this patch-wall of pictures from the event though:

The images of the night and the afterparties were all  drool-worthy, by the way (and no one is surprised, is it?) and it seems it was really really a big fat laugh and entertaining jams all night long for all the boys (cute!!!).

I particularly loved to see Mickey and his ladylove (you know I have a soft spot for the silent one with the low deep beautiful voice).

Another wonderful thing happened hours later; Anne was moved to Berlin, and Adam went on voicing his ongoing pride, love and appreciation for his angel this way (awwwww all together):

isn't he so adorable?

Hours later, this was Anne’s answer (and I did melt… I was sick and super sick in my bed, but I couldn’t resist the wave of love the two exchanged and I melt… they are so completely wonderful as a loving couple…!!!!):

I can't help but adoring them two 🙂

Oh, they own my heart.

Truth :).

Biker Boy Adam ventured out the days after and beside that he also gave up to Lakers game after taping the Jay Leno performance (incredible!!!! He let James witness our win 😉 bad choice good boy… but at least Jimmy V had fun!), and he generally enjoyed the amazing winter climate of his hometown, ran more bike adventures, had some lunch and working meeting and especially he kept on hanging in the studio, for our future delight.

Btw, you know I am not a fan of Leno so the only thing that I let you see of it is of course Maroon 5 performance:

Okay. He’s hot. We can all agree there ;).

And “he” doesn’t mean Jay Leno of course ;).

Vintage Adam at Rock am ring

What to end?

First of all, Adam unveiled a very unexpected “old camp buddy” name and connection (really!!!!!) and then…

Lovely Matt Flynn had a moment to shine as well (check that podcast!!!)

Well, Anne has reached Adam back in Los Angeles just yesterday… I guess she slept a lot after her heavy schedule and I also bet the City of Angels is very glad to have her as an angel back.

Definitely Adam had someone to take care of after his morning in Santa Monica with Shawn, didn’t he? (a series of truly amusing tweets that one was… Adam is definitely such an hilarious guy!).

Vintage Adam 2007 VMA

We also all wish Adam didn’t have any more strange needs by the time he reached his belle at home (or at least that he gave her the candies... ;)).

We will hopefully have things to see next time too. We know we will 😉

Now let me thank my friends and Karim for having helped me out with this update (even though today I felt slightly better) and let me get back in bed to some more healing.

Catch you next time.

Hopefully decently soon enough 😉

Take care, as I will for sure… your sometimes very friendly (if you deserve) Miss Z. ;).

I made it!!!

I was honestly givin up at the idea of properly upload the blog this whole month of December… then I wanted to make it and come… then suddenly I almost gave up again.

Mostly because just when I was about to start writing, my friend Marghe sent me this APPALLING news, that unlike my usual behavior I put up (as a rejecting/coping sort of therapy: after that I will be able to write all that I was meant to, including PRAISE to Maroon5… but this atrocity doesn’t belong to the rest of my post):

REALLY??? REALLY??? That Uk version is a CRIME!!! It's cheap and terribly done... WTH???

Oh dear Lord… who the hell is advising them on these stuff?

Can’t they see how disastrous this is gonna be???

I am a complete fan of comics, cartoon art, being a Japan addicted and all: to me cartoon art has a meaning and a really high dignity but that in the Misery thing is GARBAGE, plain and simple.

Can’t they reckon how the “revamped” SHIT version of UK Misery video was terrible?

And I KNOW, because being the fan I am, even if I totally barfed at it… I BOUGHT IT to stay as a completist towards their stuff!!!, and it almost made me feel GUILTY to watch the fuckery that is:

Worst. Idea. Ever.

I don’t get it… have they collectively developed a disease which mistakes awful for awesome? Are they kidding? (I wish…).

Then… Hands All Over as third single?

REALLY?

I am unable to cope with so much WRONG.

That is a good song, and I really love it, but after a weak performance from Give A Little More, you try HAO, which won’t ever be embraced by any of those who will never think you can do rock, and will be not fully taken by those who love you more on the rnb-popside than the funk-rock one???

*REALLY*???

And to make it even MORE difficult to embrace it, instead of going with a refined classic video (the story of the song would have given tons of chances for it) you betray its spirit and seriousness (and adultness) with a CARTOONED version, that looks like a kid trial at Photoshop???

Who do you think can enjoy that, really???

Can A video be that bad to make me dislike a song I actually LOVE? This video could... AWFUL.

You are not on the road of Pearl Jam great cartoon videos with that, nor that of Queens Of The Stone Age, nor in case 1 nor in case 2, because the style of the video still gross and poorly done, just like it was in Misery’s case.

You’re far away from Linkin Park even, because their cartoonish video have a depth and style that this horrifying trial couldn’t reach in 1000 light years (and I am not even a fan of Linkin Park…).

It’s ages away also from the one you were maybe aiming at, Kanye West’s Heartless… because Kanye has a true dig at graphic stuff and he uses colors and dynamics WAY better than your “director” could dream of in that video (whic I adore).

You’re on the road of the Smurf with that and I can’t really take it lightly, because it embarasses my educated fan conscience like a bad, bad, bad – and unsexy – slap on the face.

What is it… an Harakiri process? A test to see how strong can you try and be stretching things? A forcedly violent farewell???

Oh, boy… Luckily Karim sculpts and I can distract myself.

But it’s hard: this horrible news shocks me and it’s a bad surprise after what they tweeted, which I was hoping was a great video idea for Stutter.

I am disappointed… and it hurts, coming from them: I feel a bit empty at the moment if I think of this all.

You know how much I love every track of HAO… what I think of each one… you know I love the title track (read it here if any): but really this video can be capable or culpable of makin me DISLIKE the song even.

Grrrrr. This “director” is on my DARKER list: terrible, terrible and terrible: it looks beyond patched up and cheap. EWWWW.

I still love your flair... but that HAO thing HURT, Levine...

Then I thought this shouldn’t prevent me from update finally the blog.

Awww... such a beauty!

Because I have TONS of amazing material to share (you’ll see later, and as per usual random pics are of Adam and Anne from my pretty much infinite collection ;)… this because BEAUTY RULES MY LIFE and they’re a pretty darn fine form of it, which leads to me have pleasure watchin them > which is what this blog is all about: THINGS THAT PLEASE ME ;)) and I love to write bites of my life here, for  the pure sake of it (mostly for my foreign friends who can know that way… and this makes my mail exchange virtually VERY MUCH easier ;)), and if I won’t write about it down now I won’t anymore so I just really had to face the reality.

No matter that hurtingly bad surprise… I gotta write what I planned to today.

When I left you on the verge of watching the amazing Lady Gaga gig (really awesome, she’s a great performer/entertainer!) dressed aptly for the event I must say (too bad I lost my tricot hat there and never found it back…), and I would never have thought I would have written down some words again ONLY by now.

Lady Gaga gig (from my plixis from twitter)

I was looking forward to update you about the awesome (help me say it… JUST FANTASTIC and also with proper deeper contents provided by Director…) Première at La Scala, but things just got way too much in to even attempt it now.

DECEMBER IS LIKE AUGUST FOR ME… (just way, way more … “crowded“).

Not even gonna try to put in words how gorgeous he is. WOW.

I don’t have time at all to write… even willing it, I just have tons of dinners/meetings/events to attend and/or prepare and/or organize and then, you know me, it’s not like I belong to Internet.

If I can come through it, fine… if I can’t… FINER.

I love Christmas dearly, you know… all the traditional stuff are mine in the core… and also the kitch-est parts 🙂

These days I have been so completely taken I had also to give up to write in the Lakers Blog (and there you could realize how much it’s REALLY impossible for me to write anywhere, when I can’t make it writing in there!).

I managed to read also because of the iPad/iPhone help on that, but really, there’s not a chance in the world I can have half an hour spare to write anywhere before… you know, before 7th of January I guess ;).

And you know me: I write there very seriously, so I would never step in just to say “heya”.

😉

This is the only post you will get before the 2011 comes (I am sure you saw that coming after this intro, right?)… so it encompasses my wishes for Xmas and my best wishes for a very Happy and Rockin End+Start of the Year.

I had an amazing 2010.

Found this one from one of my Italian Fashion Magazines: Anne in all her glory 😉

An year fulfilled with all the possible magic a soul can ask or dream for.

And in 2011…

Well, in 2011 I marry so I expect even more 😉

Tomorrow morning Karim parents arrive (yep, they couldn’t make it sooner than that… but no worries.. they stay until Karim and I leave for our amazing time ALONE for New Year’s Eve in Montecarlo and Nice, so we have time for Family after all), and today I finally completed the Xmas gift bringin to all friends.

Sure, these weeks I have been wandering through parties but to my special crew members, that wasn’t the proper way to exchange OUR gifts (Marghe thought the same which is why yesterday she hosted a ROCKIN Xmas party, which was absolutely wonderful at any rate ;)).

We visited those who couldn’t make it to the mountains last weekend (amazing weather and time… truly special… TRULY. If you read my Twitter – and you SHOULD… ehi!!! I’m nearly at 1500 followers and counting, ya’ll ;)! lol!- you know what I am talkin about ;)) and just landed them a very special thing to let them know how much we treasure them.

Oh… yeah… I wrote “we”.

Right now it comes so natural from my heart & mind to think of me as a double entity, or as a half of an unit… this is the way Karim has completed his miracle on me.

oh, that tongue...

What a wonderful feeling is the one of belonging.

Yeah.

This even if I still love threesomes and I am dirty and kinky… I belong.

To him.

Who loves me also because I am exactly like that 😉 and I never feel ashamed of it 😉 (why should I… I rock, me ;)!).

On these festivities I look forward to my adorable grandmother to teach Karim’s one (yep, she comes along) on how to prepare tortellini.

If you follow me on Twitter, you will see properly what I mean 😉

While we are on Xmas hints, know that my song for Xmas (beside as usual the awesome cover the guys did of  John Lennon, of course, song which I created the video for in 2008, but stupid YouTube took it down… no problem, I reposted it in Yahoo videos… ;)) is Coldplay’s Christmas Lights 🙂

Lovely, Sexy Anne with her natural do

The Lovely Four (to not be mistaken with the Lovely Five, of course) have started shakin off the rust before incoming year roading with this awesome song and its adorable video and I am in love as per usual, of course.

I also like Train’s song and Pink‘s Raise Your Glass, and The Killers Xmas Single… but in the end you know those two above songs are the only ones in my book these days of happiness.

Ah! 😉

I really wish to you all a wonderful Xmas time with your family and friends and everyone you love, being near to you and make your hours shine.

Then I wish you all to do a tenth of the sex I will…

Trust me it’d be enough for a magic orgasmic overdose (so make your calculations… lol!)

Oh… yeah… sadly our Country still under Berlusconi: I try to forget it everyday to start with a smile… but then… nightmare comes back.

SIGH.

Now let’s have a little end of the year SPORTY RECAP (sort of… but mostly because I let ages of games pass by with my no -update span… LOL ;))

Okay… As I said, the sporty season so far sees Milan still lead Serie A no matter the latest demise (but ehi… cousins feel way worse don’t they?)

I’m really lukewarm and kinda appalled about us acquiring Cassano (WTF was actually my proper reaction to the news… ewwww) but what can I do.

At the end of the day, I support Milan no matter what (and the main no matter what is actually FORGETTING who the team belongs to… If you wait for me to comment on Berlusconi’s shame which keeps going on… I am trying to part myself from that because otherwise I’d die of inner pain and struggle. While you know… the only one who should die… yeah, YOU GET IT. YOU DO. *sigh*…)

lakers time is always right

About the Lakers.

Wow… there is much to say… I still feel twisted about us… there’s something missing in the puzzle but I have restraint in naming it.

Now Bynum‘s back and that’s a very good thing; but Pau still look strangely averted from games… Lamar has really flourished, and Shannon and the bench Killer B’s are a plus… Kobe still Kobe of course, but somehow he seems working like a very very slow Diesel Engine yet (still amazing, even so).

I write just hours prior of the Xmas Game which should see us prevail after last year shame… but I don’t know what to expect.

Meat are on the rise (hyped rise, still on it) and we SURELY are a better team but we have to prove it and we know in this moment we aren’t in a great shape (it’s not now that counts, but we need it now to win against a team on the rise, don’t we?)

I will update about the results of the Xmas game after the New Year steps in, all I wanna say is now and forever:

GOOOOOO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!

We Are The Best Team/Franchise On Planet Earth (and Milky Way Galaxy… 😉 ) and I am a PROUD Purple&Gold Freak.

His Hotness in His Shine

Right.

Now roll in for recaps of all the games played in the span of time where I did not update the blog.

Let’s get backwards till December 3, for the home game against Sac Town, that we won (well… winning against the Kings is not exactly shocking but that moment we were rolling in a deep struggle so… better we brought it home!)

A few days after, it was again a home game against this time the Washington Wizards: another win for a less than perfect Lakers team, but a win is a win is a win, of course.

The day after, December 8th, we were starting our road trip, except that we were still at Staples Center, being guests of the Clippers. We won, but really just thanx to a magic Fish play, and I have to say finally Clippers have a great player to watch.

That win… rang some bell just like a loss, too.

Her Hotness in Her Shine 😉

We hadn’t to wait much for a proper loss though… as soon as the proper road trip started in Chicago on December 10th, Bulls bullied us enough to make us have another scar on our skin in this less than pleasant phase of the regular season.

I could feel Kobe’s anger and rage by miles then…

And the rest of the five team we faced on the road had to, because after that game we won against the New Jersey Nets, then again against the Washington Wizards, which signed last moments of Sasha Vujacic as a Laker, as he’s now a Farmar’s joiner with the Nets exactly (note: I predicted MONTHS ago Maria Sharapova would have allowed him to move ONLY to Nets or New York…See? I just KNOW ;)) subsequently we rode Indiana Pacers and also poor Philadelphia Sixers, before wrapping it up in Toronto against the Raptors (minus an absent and injured Bargnani).

The road trips are never easy for the Lakers…

And this year in particular… we had to be tested way beyond the mere responsive tests on the floor.

There’s something more going on with us… and hopefully the final output of all this will be cheering us. The right way, I mean.

An appalled Adam watches Lakers demise against the Bucks, 21 december 2010 (Anne is lovely though, at leat ;)...)

First game home after the run has then been, just hours ago, pre-Christmas one against the Bucks, that could have led at least to lovely courtside watchin, right?

Yes, because of course ASquared went there attending (they had spent day searching for sunglasses… you’ll see later on. Shopping before Caribbean gigs? I bet ;)).

And just like it has already happened… it’s not exactly like Lakers helped their evening at ALL.

At least I hope they again fought the bitter taste the game left with lots, and I mean LOTS of Good Old Sexual Healing because the game was a TRAGEDY.

Obscene.

A constant craving for all that is wrong…

Kobe even got EJECTED for a tech foul (he basically fucked off the referee…)

Really… it’s a pain to depict how bad it was so I better let images speak themselves.

Yep.

This game at least, being the latest one, has the pleasurable worthy (not really, it’s more like a nightmare before Xmas without the grace of Tim Burton…) plus of an encompassed video directly here (while the previouses have the LINK to the video, as you saw):

Although for instance Adam has a different view on it... I just can’t really feel like we lost this neither due to referees (they were bad, but they always are) nor because we were focusing on the Heat already.

It was not referees fault if we did play painfully, dear lovely Seraphine.

Adam at Staples Center, hours ago.

There’s something wrong with us in this moment and it is that wrong from a while.

Pau isn’t really himself… and the way Kobe reacted tells me he feels deeper that this untangible (or maybe very tangible) malaise that we’re having is way more mattering than we’d like it to be.

I am really (albeit JUST a BIT) worried…

No… not about the Heat or anyone else.

As I always say, it’s all and always and ONLY about us.

If we deliver, there is no space to win for NOBODY, because we’re by far the best team.

But the point is that: it’s OUR fault this situation because we’re NOT delivering at all, not even by percentage.

I feel this year everyone thinks that just because we’re used to do it, we can rely again on the “switch on/off” factor, even worse, that we can do it even better and with less effort, just because our roster has actually improved (and it has).

Well… WAKE UP CALL my Purple&Gold Knights: the switchin works only through bleed /sweating, not by divine imposition.

Kobe Bryant reacts to referee in Lakers vs Bucks game: he'll get ejected.

Our complacency is like a bad cancer this year so far and in no way leaves me quiet nor serene.

Of course yeah, I STILL BELIEVE.

I will always believe.

But it’s in OUR camp.

If we fail… WE DO.

Technically others would beat us but the awful truth it’d be that WE DID NOT DO OUR BEST.

And this would make my Lakers Heart severely wounded.

So raise up.

Do it.

I'd like to be all of his stage gear: micstand, guitar, microphone... *whatevs* 😉

Lotta love, Z&K (who just had the best sexual healing today, staying naked home alone all day… because this is what you do your only free day of Xmas time before relatives stick into the picture, right?)

And here we are.

As per usual, Lakers introduce us to some music time, quite aptly, since the courtside connection just depicted.

I have updated the bites of Coldplay up above, (awwwwwwww… can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait to hear Chris live soon again… I’ll love their 2011 I know already… *sweet child of mine* ;)) in my life chronicles because as per usual the Maroon5 stuff is gonna have so many videos and as I anticipated a lil Xmas candy Plus that to interfere with it with whatever else, no matter how great, would be unfair 😉

As I said, it’s Xmas post and Happy New Year post so I have decided to put up a couple of gifts you find with difficulty elsewhere ( I treated them so at least is not a stealing of too great material).

Let’s say that we left lovely Maroon 5 and ASquared at the start of the month, right?

I was saying November seemed to have treated them right, but you will see how December did as well.

They’re just so darn cute and adorable together… (yes, I write it about 100000 times a update… what can I do… it’s how I feel ;))

My good Goodies Time start with this small piece of Interview, which is peculiar only for the fact Adam did record it JUST AFTER THAT FAMOUS NAKED Photoshot (that we can’t wait to see in spread right?):

Oh… the beauty… 😉

Guys also updated us with the third installment of the Palm Trees&Power Lines series (I forgot to create the mpeg video because I receive it through the iPhone / iPad app of Maroon5, so you take it from their Youtube… 😉 Sorry ;)) :

What I start with is the December issue of Los Angeles Magazine, because Adam’s one of the 50 Los Angelenos D.O.C. interviewed about the town:

The scanning of Adam Levine's interview in the Los Angeles Magazine, Dec 2010 Issue

Yeah… I know… it’s a really awful scanning but I did it for actual copyright purpose.

Adam on December 3rd, 2010 - Miracle On State Street, Chi-town 😉

Do as me: BUY it 😉 After all all my hints here are up for makin you people BUY THE DARN THING (a fan should?) after I give out suggestions.

My physical copy reached me thanx to Mash (you rock man); but before it I also bought a digital copy (well, I ad to subscribe for a year, but after all the magazine is lovely AND I have a house in LA, so it’s gonna be useful after all ;)).

I am also awaiting for the number of Guitar Magazine with James on it (found in Mondadori Milan, but it was a damaged copy so they’re changin it), because I am a completist about them FULLY of course ;).

So, get ready now…

Recap days trip in notes and visual is about to start properly and believe you’re gonna LOVE IT a lot.

A whole lotta…

… *love* 😉

If you wonder, December has been very freezy not only in Italy, but in USA too.

Evidence in Adam’s reactions to his traveling outdoors facings 😉

On December 3 guys were back in Chicago for The Miracle on State Street annual event play, while Anne was instead enjoying elsewhere a very intense massage (lol… her descriptions are so graphic and adorable…) 😉 beside being logically very excited for another minor thing ;):

Gal's shining right?

She’s so incredibly cute (and actually very humble, which doubles the cuteness) ;).

No need to point out that the most proud boyfriend EVER did not waste time to bless his wonderful half, and so there you go, get ready to melt again (I do every time they show affection towards one another… gosh I’m such a sucker for them… I know it’s absurd and ridiculous from my side but I have developed this straight and straight about them I thought “let them stay together forever because perfect beauty and skill should match always ONLY another perfect beauty and skill”… and surely they fit the profile of my preferences, don’t they?):

Isn't he absolutely adorable once again? Oh, the power of love 😉

Awwww: I just can’t cope with so much love (I lie… I sure can… and I do adore it ;)).

Anyway, guys were at Miracle On State Street and this is some of what did happen:

and also this at your ease:

I could witness their live gigs about for an eternity.

Hewl… yeah. 😉

While guys were around to play, Anne was in New York and really really excited to decorate her Xmas tree.

She truly loves it and showed it several times… updating us through her twitter multiple times (including the sweet proper pictures. I mostly love the way she’s always so down to earth and sunny in her mood. So enchanting, really).

Another one of her plus, I never get bored in tellin it, is her skill for comedy (much like her boyfriend… also there they look so much like a perfect match ;)): her talkin iPhone friends are growing and allegedly they’re getting kind of spelling lessons that are shocking EVEN to Adam (and that says pretty much all, being Adam cussing Prince… lmao!)

While Maroon5 were actually performing in Chicago, CMT (Country Channel) broadcasted the Artist Of The Year Event that you know about from the previous post (because it was performed days before).

Adam Levine gets cheered by Taylor Swift at CMTAOTYA- 1

Yeah… I know…

They covered FRIGGIN Taylor Swift.

Oh, man.

Now don’t get me wrong: I find the girl REALLY cute (she’s sleek and stylish and looks like a model which is a plus for me); she writes her stuff and although she really can’t sing live she has some flair.

It’s just that I really really REALLY can’t stand hype and I completely HATE fakeness and she seems a master in BOTH.

Sure it’s a sign of brain… but I can’t value what I despise… therefore although Mine rendition from the boys was AWESOME and brought the kinda flat song to whole new heights, I couldn’t stand the “OMFGAWWWD” constant expression Taylor was obnoxiously acting the whole time they performed it.

I am sure she loved it all GENUINELY.

But I still can’t reckon any ounce of genuineness in her, which is a set off.

Then you know… Country and I don’t match.

Anyway, THIS IS THE WHOLE SHOW.

Enjoy:

And now, let me serve you with a Xmas Candy.

Being now in sorta “Country” territory, I bring up for your enjoyment a WONDERFUL Country (and CMT) related old piece from start of 2008, when Adam and Maroon5 did a Crossroads Episode with Country Lady Sara Evans.

IWBSBL times. Those of the Crossroads thingie, too 😉

I have ALWAYS loved everything about that episode.

First, Adam’s look in that period was turning me on like Fire on Dried Bushes (insert all tongue in cheeks you like), at an even higher rate than he normally does – and which is already like the maximum human can take – : it’s like in Goodnight Goodnight video (which is my fav ever of their videos), but with his face actually shaved.

I ADORE him that way… the head shaved that lenght makes me wanna hold his head and caress it… caress it… till putting nails in it almost and Holy Sky… his perfect facial cheekboned outlines are just shining with that look, in a stunning way.

The best you get from his flawless, noble face gets so emphasized that way it’s unreal .

Okay…

Flawless Anne V.

I’ll stop (you know man turns me on… ;))… but it’s hard ;).

Anyway I love the whole of the sung parts of the show (also the extra on Wake Up Call).

There’s so much of Mr. Levine there, in such a short amount of time, it’s properly mindblowing 😉

I love to pieces the interviews parts, where he said that famous “I won’t do this forever” thing (and he said it right: if you wanna have a serious family, you can’t be all over the world. He just shows once again how smart and great he is. He won’t leave music cos music is HIM… but sure willing to have a real family, he will soon or later stop being what he is now, to be some other kind of musically engaged and devoted man, still. I love his mind and heart there even more, because he just gets so real there, and he’s so totally himself…).

Then there are two pluses: the face he makes when Sara Evans says to him she is the mother of three (and you see so clearly the “damn… I want to bang you… and now how? Oh… let’s see anyway” – kinda look… ;)), and then the completely AMAZING impersonation he does of Fabio (the regrettable Model For Sexless Middle-Aged Ladies Peeps).

HILARIOUS.

Adam is pure genius, always (the lovely ode to James’ hair desrves mentions too ;)).

So…

THIS IS THE COUNTRY I LOVED MAROON5 IN.

Enjoy (for real: editing is mine and thank you Meli for the pre-edit work ;)):

*in love* 😉

Okay, let’s get back on track now, after this lovely break in that exiles from the calendar we follow 😉

After the Chicago thing, and not before serving Mr Tellez (Adam’s assistant) a certain intense post gig threat (lol) guys moved to Buffalo for the KissMas Bash, on December 4th, and of course I can provide you some from there as well.

Enjoy a link to a Charice snippet involving them (click over), and then an interview:

and then a snippet of their gig, too (awww) :

Error

In the freezy town is anyone surprised Adam actually searched for an EATERY?

How he remains so miraculously skinny is a wonder to me… and after all he candidly confessed the only way he really loves to use his fame is the chance to reserve in restaurantsbecause I love to eat.

WUC still frame. Drool freely. 😉

I fear in time of hunger he could easily eat me (no okay… that risks to start a whole lotta of NOT ALLOWED thoughts… I better come with another metaphor…) up ;).

At least he isn’t the only one enjoying his passion wherever he goes: James for instance had more tennis time also in Buffalo, too: *ACE*!! 😉

As models live with a suitcase ready, Anne in the maintime was already bound to leave her greatly put up real tree, heading to (again frosty place) Paris.

Adam and the boys instead could move back for 48 of rest in Los Angeles, which was more than cherished by them all of course; oh, and someway Adam managed to remind us all that he still have troubles in dealing with airplanes so constantly… ;).

His first eating stop back in LA?

Italian Place, Dan Tana’s.

Of Course. Then a check of the Green Hornes at The Trobadour.

Once again… all about  friendly happy times and we all know how much he treasures those ;).

As the lovers were flying away in opposite directions (awww… both their jobs are a bless, aren’t they?), something actually flew the RIGHT direction to me: I’m speakin about the awesome BOOK and Movie of Andrew Zuckerman, MUSIC.

Man that is just ASTONISHINGLY AMAZING material.

I won’t share copyrighted stuff (just like it happens with all related with Vevey Forever) but I post a collage of things because if you are a music lover, beside being a Maroon5 fan, man you GOTTA own this.

It’s really awesome:

Music: by Andrew Zuckerman. JUST BUY IT. REALLY. A+++++

Word.

Probably I was too excited about the book then because when Anne in Paris asked for a tip for something to do, I adviced her about something she had DONE already when she actually was in Paris for the Fashion Week back in Fall (and I remembered it clearly as soon as she actually told me. Still, she always manage to be simply adorable and graceful in anything she says, so after all it was okay. I am dumb, but she’s lovely, and always ready to shout out good positive vibes, in a very inspiring way ;))

On a “good vibe note”, you will probably be happy to know that Ryan Murphy (Glee mastermind and creator) has confirmed to Rolling Stones that Misery will be in the spring renditions.

I didn’t know Murphy and Adam were mates; but this of course doesn’t surprise me after all:

So, Misery will be on Glee. I like that. 😉

COOOOOOOL. 😉

After the two (well, one and half) spare days in Los Angeles, before jetting off again, Maroon 5 recorded On  what people will actually see TONIGHT, December 22 on CBS (you will see it on these pages with the next update… of course), namely A Home For The Holidays 12th Special for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

A Home For The Holidays - rehearsal

It’s gonna be a lovely lovely performance and so far you can enjoy at least a couple of pictures (awwww, red is not only Anne’s color, but also Adam’s ;)!) and also some twitpics they sent from rehearsal, too.

A Home for the Holidays 2010 - 1

It’s always amazing when their art matches their hearts, ain’t it?

A Home For The Holidays 2010 - 2

After that Adam *graciously* (no 😉 but he still so cute when he “dork-izes” up ;)) let us see what his boundaries are when it comes to the concept of… dirty.

Dirty SHOES, that’s it 😉 (you wish… lol!).

Nothing groundbreakin there, if it weren’t that he was actually bound to… erm… LAND AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

For serenading Obama and the Family during the lightning of their Xmas Tree (the day after…).

Quite aptly, 9th of December is the date of Lennon’s death so the song they chose was PERFECT to perform, with amazing pluses on that made Adam go awing.

Divine Seraphine... and a regrettable look at the White House 😉

And those were JUST the things happening on the 8th!!!

*sigh*… THESE are the boys that I love… not that awful thing at the start of this post (I can’t cope still… I will heal… in some more hours/days… but now it’s a bullet in my head); all skillful and sparkling talent

There was a bunch of hours for Anne to reach back for the event… but while in Paris she managed to be again very very sweet and cute (California Gurl in pectore… of course!), but then she RUSHED to where she belongs, namely aside the sweetest of man with the sweetest of voices (okay, the White House occurrency was fine on its own, let’s admit it ;)…).

The morning of her man started still awing at the people singing along to him (awww… cute!), which included also lovely Sara Bareilles, one of the FAMILY ;).

Hard not to agree with Bones Mastermind Hart Hanson on the fact 9th of December 2010 of Adam was better than everyone’s average… 😉

Hard also not to agree with Anne’s enthusiastic approach to reaching the White House… 😉

She was also enjoying Santa at The White House (sounds like a Will Farrell movie title… ;)) and she was amazingly joyous in updating us about that and everything else she did experience that day: I love her way with words… :).

Just like the boys, of course 🙂

Adam seemed particularly impressed with the kid winner of XFactor (the one that beat Susan Boyle in the UK), and of course he loved to meet those other three he mentions you know… Obama, BB, Michelle… 😉

So, this is a collage (yep, that’s BB King… ;))

Maroon 5 at the White House. 9 December 2010 😉

The performances were amazing…

So now… enjoy the whole show and get festive (this is the apt post, isn’t it?):

Okay… as the gig finished, the guys moved straight up to New York, as the day after they had to perform on Jimmy Fallon.

This you see here is not a homeless riding on a fast train… is actually Adam with all of his bandmates and his fiancé gear to keep him warm (it’s a messy pic, but at the same time so cute… :)):

I wonder what did Anne wear, as her furry vest-coat is on Adam? 😉

As her man was finding solace in some nap, she had time to verbalize her emotions regarding her rushing to DC (and believe, 8 hours flight from Paris just to spend a bunch of hours there and then get straight back to NY ain’t a joke…I travel and I know what I ma talkin about! That’s love ;)), expressing joy and pride and mostly grace (as she usually does).

Maroon 5 on Fallon Live

The day of Jimmy Fallon Show was a great experience for everyone: for Adam, for Questlove, for Jimmy Fallon, for any famous attendant, for the crew… basically it was a great amazing time and you sure see a lot in the video I will post but NOT ALL OF HOW GREAT IT ACTUALLY was, because some of the best was behind scenes.

There is also the moment of Dee Snider’s controversy which wasn’t that controversial: Dee got rebuked by his wife and his son for havin behaved dully, then apologized himself to Adam, praised him (but not his band), and got the usual AWESOME ANSWER by Adam himself on the whole thing.

Man is so full of virtues.

He can handle stuff with class effortlessly.

He also probably really like Dee Snider actually.

Anyway, this is the show, enjoy:

After the taping, Anne and Adam enjoyed New York City nightlife.

First evening they went to Adam’s fav Standard top (the former Boom Boom Room); while during the day after, Adam bought a new jacket because they went also to the premiere of The Fighter (awesome movie?), looking just HOT.

AdamLevineAnneVTheFighterNY

Because well, there’s not really any other way they could look 😉

One more from the premiere

Right?

😉

The day after the time together it was again time to say farewell for the two lovebirds, because Adam and Maroon 5 had to move to Florida, to rockin out Tampa first (the day after it’d be Orlando).

Adam didn’t miss chances to quote one of his fav movies while moving towards his destination…

white fits Florida 😉

Both towns were unnaturally cold (unnaturally being that Florida you know), and Adam you know is sensitive to chill

Anyway check both some Tampa Goodies (from links this times… you’ll forgive me? Pics!!! Forgive? Right ;))

And also some Orlando ones.

About Orlando I had to discover an irking thing: Adam befriends Mike Posner, namely the worst JT copycat ever (and I don’t even like JT… MEH. MEH. MEH. I won’t like this… I know.)

What was Anne doing while she was in New York still?

SHE HAD A PHOTOSHOT FOR VICTORIA’S SECRET: can’t wait to see it 😉

Post Florida, it was well due time for some Xmas Holiday time so Maroon 5 got back to Los Angeles (PJ has become father again and he missed the Florida times… he will be back in the Caribbean ones and Anne – who had a long writing cards moment earlier that day – was so cute to ask while complimenting and congratulating him on his beautiful newborn… awww… feeling maternal sweet Fairy? That’d be SO awesome!!!).

Anne V: Sports Illustrated BodyPaint (STUNNING)

Adam used first night home to visit Trousdale along good friends (though there was a bit of a hissy fissy moment inside, leading to a pouring out caught by cameras), and enjoyed straight some familiar time (although well… you know Hollywood nights can be rockin in many ways… sometimes TOO MANY ways ;)).

He didn’t have to endure solitude much longer, because his half flew rapidly by his side, as expected and as it’s fair to be (collective AWWWWWW thank you ;)) because who could be parted from him too long?

Even Frankie gets depressed when he’s away

Anne had a première moment by herself in New York the night before flying into Adam’s arms (look, she’s STUNNING, as a gooddess…!!!) at the Little Fockers Premiere (less marv movie than the Fighter though).

BEFORE WE GET INTO LOVERS MODE, please take note of this awesome Photography Contest Maroon5 have up to talented people to enjoy: PRESS AND read and you won’t regret it.

So… Can we guess from Adam’s tweet that new driver Anne could get a Prius for Xmas?

Who knows 😉 Certainly the lovebirds found a way to deal with some really BAD Los Angeles weather (LA is under the biggest floodings in elephant memory… is it raining from a week… but that ain’t affected them, because beside a small note of the obvious, they wandered hand in hand… and tongue on tongue everywhere around Hollywood and Beverly Hills.)

Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna in Beverly Hills, 18 december 2010

Anne even made it to a further photoshot sesh (oh… can’t wait to see this either!!!), before dedicating herself only to the one she gotta take perfect care of (lucky, lucky, lucky gal… ;))

Singing In The Rain? Burt Bacharach? Awww 🙂

Karim made a great portrait of the two angels kissing…

They are so incredibly beautiful and perfect together... ❤

They went shopping and Adam noted he likes to play Jewish Santa (lol), and that after all there’s no point in having if you won’t sharing.

I so agree.

Before I forget, taken in all this lovey bliss… Maroon5 have been chosen for The Critics Choice Awards, and it means on January 12 they will tape it for VH1:

YES!!!

Adam also shot a Funny Or Die video that we hope to see soon… and there, his alter ego is this fella… BRODY (lmao…), allegedly at Bardot? That’s the place he goes at on that day but until we see it we can’t know for sure 😉

Prepare to enjoy the last collages that come from hours ago: what they did prior to the Lakers Shame that you know from above.

Remember, in a bunch of hours there is the broadcast of a Home For The Holidays on CBS.

And now… enjoy Beauty and Love.

I’ll try to forgive you for that AWFUL Hands All Over Video, Adam…

I know in the end you and your voice win anyway: darn ;).

Have all a great Xmas time and a super amazing End of The Year and Start of The Year.

Catch you in 2011: the year of me becoming a wife in Japan.

W-O-W.

One of Thanxsgiving centerpieces at Karim's parental house in Manhattan, November 2010

Some days, a lot of fun, a lot of food and – also – some good working days later (it feels incredibly cool to go to working meetings in Manhattan… really… I was so happy to hang down there with Brian and the guys I didn’t even mind that was takin away half of my GREAT Black Friday shopping, or the whole almost of the subsequent Saturday!), we’re back to the usual and nice routine, working in a freezy, sometimes snowy Milan and waiting for the GREAT Lady Gaga gig this incoming Sunday AND also the amazing Scala Première with Wagner.

Actually to prepare for that, I was spending reading hours in New York – still do it now that I’m back home – checking again the Eddan (in Swedish of course, with English text aside) and that, like it always happen, easily lead me to read for about the 13th time the whole of Lord Of the Rings (that in English and in Italian too… I love his style in all languages).

I actually read all Tolkien every December (and for every Tolkien I mean everything ever published under his name), because it feels very… fireplace&frosty related to me.

And then he’s one of my favorite writers ever.

Back to the USA days, it was great to spend this holiday finally getting… into it.

Talkin about good things in bed... Adam Levine, IWBSBL booklet offshots

Karim’s family is obviously very keen to these traditions, but it was honestly a shining family time that I totally felt complete part of.

Oh… and their house in Manhattan is insane.

Wow.

We were planning to check more apartments while there but then the Black Friday shopping took us quite over (always after work though) so in the end we went checking stuff only a bit the first two days (and trust me… on Wednesday chaos in the roads was so huge we didn’t really put our best efforts there at all).

We are in contact with the people we need anyway so some more chances for a check will arise soon.

I will have to fly newly to New York soon anyway.

We have a couple of ideas, but since the prices there are nuts, we will wait for something that WE REALLY LOVE.

Okay that we have money, but this doesn’t mean we like to throw them away uselessly.

Modesty is the key to a healthy life balance.

When back in Italy my first stop were Swifty and mum&dad…

At evening, that we spent with them, we watched the last episode of the awesome Vieni Via Con Me and this was my fav part of it all (the whole show was as usual fantastic):

Really, the list of great Italians‘ things made me drop my jaw off by amazement (Roby Baggio!!! Pasolini!!! Benigni!!! So deserved :)!) and then the list of Tobagi‘s daughter just made me cry.

Today our Country is in dismay but hopefully Berlusconi will end his shameful and disgustive run and presence soon enough.

Farewell, Mario Monicelli The Great

Sadly, just during the show we learnt that Mario Monicelli took off his own life to not being submitted to another’s will about when he was his due time.

We’ve lost the true Father of the best Italian Comedy.

On Tuesday evening Karim and I watched a marathon of some of his greatest movies and we plan to keep on all week long.

Rest In Peace, you genius.

Italy misses yet another true artist and a vitriolic, yet deep and senseful insight on its cracks and beauties, something that each youngster around should get educated into and at and throughout.

Karim shed a tear learning of him passing away.

I did too.

We come writing after a back to back sleepless nights because both on Tuesday and Wednesday games were around 2 am.

Adam and Anne at Lakers vs Bulls. NOW LOOK HIS TROUSERS. They're... erm... not fully zipped up? 😉 Did they had a quickie after the NBA Fan Of The Week interview? 😉

Considering on Wednesday we went out with the lab crew and we arrived home at 1 am… let’s just say in the past two days we haven’t slept much.

Also because Lakers did not really facilitate that (*rolls eyes*)…

I hope these days of zero sleep won’t compromise my incoming weeks of fun…

It’s just that you know me… I never say NO to fun and friends; I never say NO to live music; I never say NO to my sport passions; I never say NO to anything that I feel passionate about.

And you also know that when any of these things don’t exactly go my way, I need raw Sexual Healing to let the frustration go.

That of course happens especially with Sport stuff (because really, I never experienced any frustration in the other departments in my whole life, thank God!)

Therefore if you  try to decode my message above, through witness of the Lakers… You get that there have been a certain number of occasions recently when I had to rely on my favorite anti-stress therapy.

Not that I lament a thing there, but still..

I hope in a stopping of the reasons I have to turn to that kind of safety for my soul for ;).

Never forget. Aids Still Kill.

I also take this good occasion to remind you all that yesterday it was World Aids Day, and beside the fact Coldplay finally released for Red One new music to celebrate the occasion (nice song, but not earth-shattering, still you all should buy it because it’s for a very worthy cause), I also felt the need to point out all charities that were available.

Aids still kill.

Please, don’t ever forget it and never stop to help those in need about it.

Please.

Do it.

Okay… I tried to postpone but you know it’s coming don’t you?

You must be trained about my way to compose posts here by now 😉

Let’s get into sport asap (even though this time at least the first sporty bite intertwines FORCEDLY with Divine Adam and lovely Anne’s chronicles… and you will see why very soon ;)) and let’s start from where I stopped last time, therefore with the awesome win against finally a worthy opponent…

Take a look at Lakers takin over Chicago Bulls:

In the picture you’ve seen enlightened by a heart (I know, it’s cheesy… AND I love it ;)) Adam and Anne witnessing the amazing Mamba scoring…

Kobe shots, Adam and Anne Watch

Adam and Anne arrive at Staples for Lakers vs Bulls 23Nov2010

Later on in the chronicles of them you will see how Adam was featured in the NBA Fan Of The Night segment that day, and how… they arrived and stayed and left in their amazing November 23th together.

Man I love those kids together 😉

But now let’s go on… Because happy times in LakerNation kinda stopped there practically, for a long (way too long) while.

There’s so much more you need to learn about and they are a bit of gloomy stories sadly.

Not all shines in Laker Land nowadays…

Contrariwise we are hitting quite a rough patch and we must gather back forces and strengths and focus somehow.

Quickly.

Here are the demises chronicles until today (can’t imagine it can go on any further… but then, you never know).

On the Black Friday (Black for real) Lakers went to Utah to battle the Jazz, and this is what happened:

I therefore expressed my frustration by sexing it up with Karim downtown Manhattan.

Adam and Anne watchin Lakers Chicago Bulls on 23th November 2010

We had a blast.

Yes, he allowed me to play (that way you read about in the previous post) so that after we had the best Sexual Healing therapy… EVER.

I hope Adam and Anne performed something similar because he surely had to feel raging after just moments before our UNFORGIVABLE loss  he (like me) had the feeling as usual Kobe (in much Kobe Mode, but still our only Saviour when needed) would have amended for the whole rest of the team (and of the bench) which was unwatchable for large parts of the game.

But no… it ended in loss, which will be really useful afterwards anyway (this is the only way I can look at it…).

It must work so, right?

Gotta put things in a certain perspective.

Then just when we were coming back home, Lakers took their way back home to fight the drizzly Indiana Pacers, and this is what we witnessed (we did some hours later, but there you go) along the whole of Laker Nation:

I was shocked when, landing (LATE) in Malpensa on Monday morning, I got straight that we did lose that TOO!!!

I was really… WTF???

Kobe scores for the 105th time +40 points and we manage to LOSE HOME??

Adam Levine and Anne V attend Lakers vs Pacers game on 28th of November 2010

Again on Sunday???

That rang lots of bells…

Poor Adam and Anne (there again too, but not in the usual places… if it weren’t for Mash sending me straight a Divine A + Sweet Fairy A candid shot from Staples, I would have thought they weren’t there…) allegedly had to perform more Sexual Healing too?

I know Karim and I after watchin the game on taxi on our way back from Malpensa to Milan… DID.

Yep.

We met at lunch time at my lab and just had it in my keyed out little resting room.

*HOT*.

Still… “Lakers… WTF????” was the thought constantly struck on my mind.

If I only knew how I were not even half into pain mode…

I upload blog today and I didn’t neither on Monday nor Tuesday (nor actually Wednesday) evening cos my only blogging time after the demise was of course meant to be a stop (well, TWO actually) in the Lakers Blog.

On Wednesday though, the dinner out prevented me from writing there and in so many ways it was better because You’ll see the unthinkable happened.

Adam and Anne at Lakers Vs Bulls - Nov 23 2010

AGAIN.

I had to mourn with the Family, which I dearly missed in those far away New York days, and I did during latest chat also.

But ehi, for feeling part of an American family I had to follow traditions and it would have felt awkward to say at a certain point: “excuse me ya’ll, got to take my time and spotty-blog a bit” ;)…

I am sure they would have allowed me (they are from Cali after all and they all support Lakers, so…) but honestly in that atmosphere I never really felt like I wanted even to ask.

I was feeling so into family time I let it go (and you can understand how much that means in my world ;)).

So after the double demise, Lakers traveled to Memphis to match up again lil Brother Marc Gasol’s Grizzlies and yes, THIS is what happened (hold yourself… PLEASE):

I WAS SHOCKED AND SHAKED.

Adam and Anne witnessing Lakers vs Bull, 23 Nov 2010

Wow, how awkward, and not usual for me about my adored Purple & Gold Knights.

And the worst thing was that during the last few seconds I was again feeling we wouldn’t have made it.

I felt clearly we weren’t there to feel any lucky or mighty.

Last year instead I was always feeling we were there to subvert the impossible.

Grrr.

But don’t fail yourself: we’ll win this Ring too.

And these hard moments will lead us exactly there.

Mark My Words.

After a resounding Three Losses Streak, this past night we faced Houston Rockets at their home:

Yes… I know… YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IT.

Oldie of Adam witnessing 2008 Lakers Playoffs

I actually can, and that is what makes the whole situation really strange for me.

But as I said, I’m sure we’ll bounce back.

I AM SURE OF IT.

Okay… now it’s time for a lot (and I mean LOT) of cuteness, because after such a gloomy unhappy break we all need it, but especially I DO.

Especially because looks like there’s a lot of people coming round after two days ago CBS broadcasted the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010, showing Adam and the boys cheering on Anne multiple times and therefore raising the question that yesterday made “Adam’s Levine Girlfriend” the most popular Google topic (WOW!!).

Adam and Anne. Gosh... when they smile together sun shines brighter. SOOOO Beautiful they are.

Of course straight after that there started swirling up uncontrolled and idiot news about them being ready to marry or even already expecting a child (PLEASE!!! She’s a model… She won’t feather a baby any quick… though I truly hope they will procreate sooner than later because they’re so beautiful their kids would be SPARKLING) and hilariously some of the pictures of Anne were actually of Angela or of Becky (?? how such shorties could model in catwalks??) and even Maria Sharapova (oh, boy… Internet pics databases… the hell of the unawares… ;)!).

Is it that strange to do some decent web researches before writing idiocities?

Luckily over here we got them together from the very first start… and actually from that first stroll, somebody shared even this link (yep, February 19th, 2010 in Los Angeles… but that was just the first time that month they allowed people to catch them up, as the whole thing started as you know after February 10th…)

Fact is they are blissfully happy together though and surely I wish them all those steps as soon as they’ll like to take them.

his gloriously beautiful smile

But leave them alone… let them be.

They’re a wonderful sight together… no other couple ever pleased me so much that I wasn’t personally a friend of. 😉

I have the whole of the VSFS (and you gotta check from start to end because they keep appearing…) but it comes at the end, because as you know I post things in chronological order here 😉

Lots of videos (and the whole of Taratata) coming today… Literally HOURS of videos. 😉

Before following the timing trail of greatness, let’s step back with a lil LOVELY interview with MICKEY!!! It was released while they were in Amsterdam on November 17th (check previous post) and since I LOVE when Mr. Madden speaks, I put it up straight.

Mickey speaks on papers or radios so rarely, sure it did deserve some kind of highlight here 🙂

Read it and enjoy ;):

Mickey Madden speaks!!! Whooo 😉

After this, and always while we are in “recap” and “trackback” mode, take finally the whole available of Maroon5 RDS Showcase (November 2010) which is not the whole setlist, because the whole setlist was THIS ONE:

the whole RDS setlist

But okay, what you will hear still adorable.

This are the songs in My treatment of layout (it’s one after another, okay?):

And then the interview they did, which I left as it is on the RDS site. Enjoy:

While we’re at tracking back the performances that were just described in past post, it’s now the time to put up the UK Lottery Draw excerpts (order? my friend Marghe signaled me the bites but I’m not sure I put all in order correctly) with Gethin Jones.

Adam is seriously fantabulous there.

Sex on legs. Always.

That was a lot right? And we haven’t even started! 😉

Let’s get back to the start from just where we left, the day of Anne and Adam reaching back Los Angeles (of course together.. and they’ve spent a lot of time together this November… awwww the supercuteness indeed!).

7 days of hotness in Mr. Levine's shape

Adam could barely hold himself thinkin of what he would have done on Wednesday, because sure his first Lakers game live this season was a treat, but so was the Conan O’Brien show.

He adores comedy, you know.

But before that, Maroon5 let us know that the same Wednesday France tv would have aired the episode of Taratata the guys did actually record back in September (check this post about it… it was when Adam and Anne finally re-met in Paris after a month apart… ;)).

I think the whole show and the interview was AMAZING…

Especially the lovely part in the interview where Adam, after the interviewer was asking him about his dozens of female conquers, and if that about him had changed at all, he just pointed out his girlfriend was there (awww… “petite amie”… sounds so lovely in French).

Check this LONG video of the whole Taratata, and sorry if you don’t know French

You must learn it (so should Adam, but we all know he’s way too lazy to try it ;)… Jesse maybe just forgot it 😉 right?) in order to decode the special video montage during the show.

Beside the live of Maroon5 songs, there is also the duet of Bang Bang with K’naan of course.

Enjoy, folks… it’s long and totally awesome;):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

Another totally awesome thing from the Taratata special is the final video request by Adam and Jesse, showing us and reminding us how much Mr. Levine adored/adores one of my iconic bands, Oasis (still mourn that they split, and I am overexcited that Noel is RECORDING!!!! Whooo-hooo!).

When he gets thoughtful in pictures... I love the vibe entirely.

This is nothing that should surprise us and in fact, transcended by empathy about the request, I just created a video with 170 pictures of Adam and the guys (and Adam and Anne somewhere to0), some drawings of Karim, and put in Maroon 5 covers of Oasis’ Don’t Look Back In Anger – sorry for the radio audio quality – and Hello, from Live On Friday The 13th. Then I closed it with a real Oasis jam ;).

Thought it was better than an anonymous YouTube video… Enjoy ;):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

Awww 😉

While they were moving from London to LA, it appeared the list of their World tour, encompassing among the rest Australia, Indonesia, Santo Domingo, Porto Rico (check their website, okay?).

I also found this interview that I quite liked:

The morning after their arrival back in Los Angeles, Adam and Anne became very chatty, letting us step into their world together.

I still appalled anytime Adam quotes classic albums, a too wide majority of his “fans” don’t get a clue about it.

What a bunch of illiterate idiots folks…

The times he must shake head had to be countless with some people (Sticky Fingers is one of the most iconic Rolling Stones Album, you darn mo**ns… Fans like you are better being lost than taken…Geez).

Anne V for SS 2011 Louis Vuitton Campaign (the one she shot in mid September in Capri) 😉

Talkin about music, then, that day Adam actually went to a studio (Henson one again?) to record a collaboration that he wasn’t sharing details of, but that gave him “Very Positive Feelings”.

Can’t wait to know/hear about it!!!!

The morning after, we further step into lovely Adam and Anne shine of mutual love.

They woke up and she tweeted this:

Anne wakin up in Adam's house in LA, 23 november 2010

And then this… (awww, I just can’t cope with so much… I’d squeeze them like two teddy bears…):

awww... he made himself breakfast for her... so adorable 😉

After which he replied so (weeks earlier he was debating with his friends how much his eggs were best eggs ever… ;)) to her:

best couple ever. god bless them.

I feel all kind of butterflies about them.

I have rooted for them straight… the very first sight I caught of Adam smiling for her THAT open way, she conquered me.

And you know which fix I have with Mr. Levine… but she’s like… a person you cannot hate onto.

Too gracious… and so beautiful.

Adam mini collage plus

They’re completely perfect for one another…

So much, that when Adam left to go to rehearsal for the Conan show of that day (the show is recorded during daytime to be broadcasted at late evening, ad it’s taped in Burbank, so he had to move quickly after that breakfast), and she took some parking/driving lessons in the maintime, the fact that she hummed one of HIS cars in the process was certainly forgiven by him.

How eras change!! 🙂

We all know how much Adam loves his cars, and everything that is “motor” related so the fact she can even crash them is a perfect measure of how much he loves her, in fact.

When the reharsal became backstage, and after Anne of course joined her beau, Maroon 5 taped their performance (awesome) and so, as you expect, you can actually watch it here.

I actually loved Hart Hanson‘ (Bones creator) tweet at Adam about the outfit he would have worn during the show (yep, it is a reference to what you’ve seen in the previous post), but then he was dressed.

TIGHTLY (oh, man…).

Enjoy ;):

As you know, after the taping of Conan Adam and Anne went to the Lakers vs. Chicago Bulls basketball game.

Adam was very happy to finally check his first Lakers game of the year LIVE, (you’ve seen the pictures up), but another thing that made him happy, and his lady VERY proud and sharing as well, was that he actually also went interviewed for the NBA Fan Of the Week show.

AWESOME… Check it (isn’t he so totally amazing? Oh dear… too bad after that game he had to suffer what we all Lakerholics did… from the stars to stables… but we’ll get back up to starred sky soon, no question!)

After that we learnt once more about Adam (and Anne’s there agreeing too) passion for sushi; I love that he loves mostly Italian and Japanese food (well, when he doesn’t go junk food, which it happens pretty often… if he hadn’t that metabolic fastness he possesses, he would be obese ;)), because… well, I’m Italian with a Japanese crush ;).

Obviously.

Anne V for Sports Illustrated. Wouldn't you allow her as well everything? 😉

The Thursday it was Thanxgiving.

Such an important family time you know.

Adam acknowledged well, and openly, how much he has to be thankful for.

Doesn’t go difficult to catch what (and WHO) was making him particularly grateful in those hours.

I really enjoyed to think that the two lovers were together that day especially.

As you can see, Anne’s just so simple, adorable, truly down to Earth type of girl and she totally sounds and appears as the perfect companion for Adam.

She is that kind of woman who can keep a man, especially when a bit messy, in line with tenderness and plus she can make him laugh (because she can be as cutely dorky as actually also Adam gets very often).

Then of course, being looking as a Fairy Goddess, she has all other qualities any man could ask for, hasn’t she?

The day after Thanxgiving, while they were about to enjoy last hours together (for that week span ;)), Adam tweeted something that some of his fans found strange or unexpected:

Wasn't crystal clear he has it?

He's just chemically&physically unique. Naturally.

Adam’s ADD is certainly a bland form of it, but in many many ways, anyone observing him, or getting how much hyperactive and rebellious he naturally is can understand how some of his fascinating, unique antics come also from the way that disorderly attention plays within him.

I am sure no one thinks he is strange or anything… his symptoms are actually very much in line with TONS of other artists’ ones, and he is such a greater cutie due to those sides of his behavior, it’s hard to picture him with a dysfunction, rather than with a flamboyant persona that has nothing border-ly about it (and to me, there’s nothing border-ly about him) .

His gorgeousness doing yoga. A very slow activity, that re-balances system.

Many of the best musicians, actors, play-writers, and a fair majority of past centuries most prolific and genius poets were clearly ADD subjected.

I am a chemist and a biologist and to me that side of Adam is just a sign Nature wanted him special and peculiar.

And then we get to enjoy his totally off the way sitting down style 😉

I’m sure you understand why he NEEDS to be a musician and also why he enjoys the focusing of yoga that much; you probably also get why he’s so impulsive and sexually charged (that is an often related need of ADD people, too), and maybe also why he finds the slowing down power of pot that intriguing (I won’t ever follow him there, but he doesn’t kill anyone with that).

His fast mind slowing down helps him to relax: therefore anything that holds that power is a healing gift for him.

Again… in all of his lyrics you can guess about these dynamics… well, if you’re smart enough and educated enough at least.

I thank above for creating such a lovely man, so full of talent, so that he could turn his uniquely chaotic self into an uniquely inspiring master to many people out there.

Anyway, enough of this (I still appalled on how much ignorant about life topics some of his “fans” are… how could they not get he could have easily been a subject of that? It ain’t such a deal, get over it…) and back to the last hours the two lovers could spend together in Los Angeles before having to move to the East Coast for different working tasks.

Too bad Lakers really did not help them in feeling too quiet… but then maybe they just enjoyed to sex the disappointment up after (Karim and I surely did 😉).

Surely as per usual Adam gets the most romantic and lyrical when he’s with Anne.

And as per usual, his native town truly sets him up for being the best he can be.

Check also LA Magazine December about it if you can:

LA Magazine Dec. 2010

Past that night, he let us know he was heading to Nashville openly; Anne was instead bound to reach Savannah, for what we did learn the days after was a photo session for Ralph Lauren.

How Awesome!!!

Ralph Lauren = Totally Cool.

 

her grace is undeniable

Airport time always makes Adam chatty, and he did also because Anne’s flight was prior two abundant hours compared to his.

He then teased us up.

A lot.

I love his way to be sexually charged 24/7.

I so do.

Adam in December is also featured in Rolling Stone, because he shared his Fav 10 List (about the Police ;)):

Adam shares his unbound Police Love with Rolling Stone Mag

James instead is gracing Premier Guitar Magazine:

James Valentina for Premier Guitar Mag december 2010 - Click Over And Read

Props up 😉

Also interesting is this auction that goes up in December for the Grammy Foundation… if you don’t know what to get for Xmas ;):

click to get the link!

As they landed in Nashville, Maroon 5 met straight some legend.

Anne's second outfit (my fav!!)

I was thinkin they were there at the CMT Artist Of The Year Awards to honor Lady Antebellum by that point… you will see in a while I was wrong.

Also, it seems that Adam keeps being very inspired about writing lately (who wouldn’t be in his shoes…), this regardless of places or weather actually.

While being apart, on that 30th of November, Adam and Anne had to think about how to list their tv watching.

Because that same day, Cbs was broadcasting finally the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, while on another channel the third season finale of Sons Of Anarchy was on.

You know they’re both SOA freaks… but of course they both wanted to watch VSFS first.

You know that I have the whole show…

And now is actually the time to let you see it.

So, enjoy beauty.

Think that Adam is shown four and plus times, from the start till the very end, and Anne has three highlights too.

They are absolutely wonderful… truly best part of the show was to see how in love these two are…:

Error
This video doesn’t exist

Anne though, in between cute tweets exchanged with John Legend’s ladylove Christine Teigen (a fellow SI modeland a very cute kind person, though I keep not understanding how people shorter than me can model, since I am 5’9” and Teigen – like that bland Lily Aldrige –  is 5’8”…), had sadly to discover she would have missed the broadcast, due to the fact her plane back from South Carolina to New York home would have been delayed and she would have been traveling just exactly by he time of CBS telecast.

Very few people can wear THAT dress THAT flawlessly

Poor thing!

She sounded disheartened at some point… I would have been not happy as well.

But then, some kind heart managed anyway to let her see it all 😉

Before her flight took over she was watchin tv in the lobby and once again it’s clear that she shares lots of things with her man, who’s a total Stevie Wonder devotee, too.

But what was Adam doing on 30th night?

What were Maroon5 up to for the CMT Awards?

Well, you know I don’t really click with Country… but when I even learnt that they were up to cover TAYLOR SWIFT I chuckled.

Really.

I am having such a hard time dealing with this (in the whole Kanye‘s thing, you know what i think, and I wonder how Adam can feel being of my same school of life about it?), even though I was sure by the time Swift’s “romance” (??) with Jake Gyllenhaal was made public, someway their roads would have crossed.

But really???

Covering “Mine”???

Oh, boy... everything I did NOT want to see...

Okay that you guys OF COURSE have done an amazing job on it an definitely transformed a lukewarm “hit” in a classy turnover of sound but… REALLY???

I have trouble there.

Maroon 5 at the CMT Awards, 30 November 2010

Tomorrow I will see the broadcast and decide but… KANYE. TEAM KANYE.

Sorry guys.

I am not always agreeing with anything you do (though I repeat: I’m sure YOUR version of Mine is awesome).

Duh.

Better get back in BEAUTIFUL TERRITORY and let’s enjoy some of the cuteness about Anne’s catwalkin in a couple of actually true (albeit kinda simple) article on her surfaced after from the broadcast it was clear Adam was there for her.

they won the genetical lottery... 😉

First this one… and well, SURE they were the most beautiful couple there: tall and gorgeous they seem like real life Barbie and Manly Ken…):

most beautiful couple for sure

Then this beautiful one which quotes Adam gushin on her in September stop at Howard Stern’s show (check my past post… that day where the guys did that amazing radio cover of Let’s Stay Together… and you know I always think he sings it to her ;)):

He gets so sweet talkin about Anne 🙂

THESE are the next times you will catch Maroon5 on tv (and I will try and translate all videos here again):

next video chances

Yesterday then the day was quiet… Guys had a chat time in Nashville (if I can find a transcript of it I’ll put it up next time, along to what hasn’t surfaced yet that I have spoke about today), prior to learn that they had again gained a Grammy Nomination for Misery in the Best Pop Performance category (yesterday there was the Grammy Nomination Day).

Having candidate themselves only in 6 categories (due to the release time for HAO, check my previous post where I did post the prenominees link list) it’s already a good achievement that Maroon5 got again acknowledged as they deserve to.

I am APPALLED just at the composition of the Pop Album Category (only deserving one there is Gaga, but then I sadly knew it would have been an hard time for HAO), and about any of Katy Perry and Justin Bieber nomination, but beside that I am really pleased with the rest of the nominations, especially about Arcade Fire and Cee-Lo’s ones, because if you read this blog you know I tipped those (and Eminem and Gaga) all year long to take the major honors this year.

But yeah… That Pop Album Category and Perry+Bieber let me fear that like last year with friggin Swift there will be some to be ashamed for this year too at the Grammy Awards.

Oh well.

At least we know who’s gonna shine on red carpet, don’t we?:

I told you she’s just adorable 😉

And I don’t even like Pomeranians… but truly she was so cute 😉

Adam tweeted some time after these from Anne… I guess they watched the broadcast of Sons Of Anarchy while talkin that night? 😉

Whatever they do, they are adorable to me.

End of the debate.

They even made me sligtly forget about Lakers in those moments 😉

That’s how much I like the idea of them together 😉

Then this morning, while I was having a meeting … some KINDRED soul posted THIS (hold yourself… it’s DANGEROUS to health!):

O. M. G... Really. What one can say. He's so good you'd love to EAT him alive 😉 (nice nailpolish Anne, on that sole hand 😉 )

It’s the second part of the shot you know from last post... and oh… BOY.

I can’t process the thought.

My fetish for ilium bone and male hips goes to stratosphere with Adam.

I can’t wait to buy whatever magazine is that they shot these nature candids for charity along.

(I repeat: Anne… you lucky lucky lucky woman ;)…*sigh*…)

HAO. Still love it a lot.

Karim is NOW mocking me about this of course.

But he knows I can’t help the way this man sexes me up.

It’s… a natural chemical inner and unstoppable reaction (look the smirk he has… it’s everything a promising one should be).

I guess for today we’re okay this way…

I am cooking and very soon I will sleep after for two days I slept a total of 4 hours and half.

I’ll cuddle and enjoy the bless which is my life and the fact my beloved soulmate can even handle my passions about music and… musicians 😉

I’m just so very fortunate and blessed.

😉 Catch you in 7-10 days 😉

Enjoy this start of December, the Xmas await, and if you are Jewish, Happy Hanukkah!! 🙂

Z. 😉
