Hola world! 🙂
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!!!!
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…
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).
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):
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…
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.
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.
*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.
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. 🙂
And The Party goes on and on and on…

Morning!!!
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 Fuckery “that 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.
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.
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. 🙂

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?
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?
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.
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.

Good morning and sorry for the long absence.
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.
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!!!)
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 ;)):
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 ;):
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!):
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 😉
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):
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 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).
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.
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.
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).
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).
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.
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.
REALLY 😉
How cool is that (rhetoric question)? 😉
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 used… see 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):
While we are at interviews, read also this cute one from the same press tour:
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.
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!!!).
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 worked it out for Pepe Jeans S/S collection ads, ladies and gentlemen!!! (GORGEOUS).
Enjoy the 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?):
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):
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Take the collages again…
and last one…
Yeah… I’m loving cheesy collages lately.
Take it or leave it 😉 (even with Labyrinthitis I am stubborn and a nay-sayer… see?) 😉
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 Bed” video.
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 possible… blame 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):
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…!!!!):
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 ;).
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!).
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. ;).
Does it take LOADS to eat to feel more USA style? Check it… Plus LOADS of Adam and Anne, too ;)…

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.
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.
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.
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 ;).
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…
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.
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??
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.
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.
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.
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!!).
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.
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 ;):
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:
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!).
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;):
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!).
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 ;):
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).
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:
And then this… (awww, I just can’t cope with so much… I’d squeeze them like two teddy bears…):
After which he replied so (weeks earlier he was debating with his friends how much his eggs were best eggs ever… ;)) to her:
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.
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.
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:
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) .
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:
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!!!
Airport time always makes Adam chatty, and he did also because Anne’s flight was prior two abundant hours compared to his.
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 ;)):
James instead is gracing Premier Guitar Magazine:
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 ;):
As they landed in Nashville, Maroon 5 met straight some legend.
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…:
Anne though, in between cute tweets exchanged with John Legend’s ladylove Christine Teigen (a fellow SI model… and 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.
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”???
I have trouble there.
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.
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…):
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 ;)):
THESE are the next times you will catch Maroon5 on tv (and I will try and translate all videos here again):
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!):
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*…)
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. 😉
