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. 🙂

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…:

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. 😉

Oh…

Anne V backstage @ VSFS 2010 - via Modelinia

DAMN.

I wasn’t meant to come here today.

I wasn’t.

This update would have come halfway through this week if Lakers didn’t provide such a disappointment this past night that I had the need to come online and pour on over about it do distress.

*sigh*.

Yep.

We lost.

AGAIN.

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 1

But while the loss against Denver in Denver on Friday really did not affect me (as you can know from my usual daily posts from Los Angeles Times Lakers Blog), this time against Phoenix Suns REALLY I was disappointed because I did not expect such a downlow.

We played JUST as Phoenix wished to.

We always leave up open 3s, but this time really I felt like we were just letting it go.

We kept being (just like we were against Denver) majorly unbalanced and unconnected.

And yet Kobe isn’t Kobe fully (but this I know it was bound to happen, I gained my Reader Comment Of The Day upon that idea so it’s not there that I felt my disappointment coming).

Oh well… these are the two games that we have lost in the past 3 day (we still THREEPEAT… no question about it… don’t take my disappointment as a lack of faith cos my faith is backed by way more certainties than not the little moment of blur we lived this past night):

And then what brought me here today…:

Oh… I can’t cope.

You read in my Today’s post in the blog what this game left me with as for regrets and frustrations.

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 2

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 3

To keep track on bad sporty things, Formula 1 was also a blowout, but then Alonso and I aren’t buddies so I did not really feel that trashed at all.

To save the DAY and WAY more than the day and sporty weekend though…

There you go and rejoice, world!!!!!

Milan stays up leading Serie A because yesterday WE TRIUMPHED IN THE DERBY, no matter if we did play for a lot 10 against 11, and thanx to the best scorer we could have been picked to bury Inter, IBRAHIMOVIC!!!!!

What a satisfaction, man!!!!

Inter… this ain’t your year finally!!!

Hewl yeah, this makes up amazingly for the pain Lakers left me with 😉

Actually also the awesome sex Karim and I had this morning after the game did… but then you know I do my best to take Sexual Healing seriously and so does Karim 😉

Take some images of our triumph… YEAHHHHH!!!!!:

To keep now track about awesomeness, and link it to football but widening it up, take this (you can read it also in English and Spanish) and honor Roberto Baggio because my forever favorite football player and awesome man received the World Peace Award in Hiroshima the other day, for his ongoing humanitarian efforts:

Roberto Baggio. Awesome Athlete, Artist, Man, Peacemaker.

Click on the picture.

And as me… LOVE this creature.

Adam and Jesse prior to VSFS

Roberto is one in a million.

I don’t even care if he loves Inter… or if he likes Berlusconi.

Nobody is perfect… but ultimately he is.

Talkin about Berlusconi, finally today we hope to see the end of his dirty reign.

Though with the way Italy works you can always expect nasty turnovers for MORE worst.

One of the things that I loved about Baggio’s speech in Hiroshima was his love professed for just freed Aung Sun Suu Kiy.

This lady free means something great. Hope takes over hopefully.

Free. Finally

We must free Burma and all people who cannot make their righteous voices be heard in safety.

Okay.

Oh, and while I write I’m of course watching again Vieni Via Con Me. GO FAZIO & SAVIANO!

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 4

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 5

Now let’s talk about my wonderful weekend and the way we spent time with our wedding planner, the flamboyant yet stylish Vic.

She rocks.

I fell in love with her and her ideas; Karim was so happy because he insisted for us to hire her and now I can see why he’s always right in my book ;).

She met and stayed with us; she took us all out for shopping (both clothes and piece of furniture, just to check out our tastes and the way we match them) and out to dinner… she met my family and enjoyed Lodi’s Chocolando Feast (too bad weather was awful).

It goes alone that I am already thinkin about my marriage dress ;).

We had a wonderful and really useful time and we practically agreed in getting to Japan first for checking venues around my Birthday time.

Yep.

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 7

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 6

HANAMI, baby!!!!

To call myself delighted is an understatement.

In this blissful series of event, really, I didn’t even mind to have to lose Maroon5 in Rome.

Well, that goes easier because Marghe got to live it all instead from my parental house in Borgo Pio, so I have a lot of… erm… souvenirs 😉

What will be shared here tough still as usual things you can find by yourself through researches, starting with the link at RDS Radio that is gonna upload soon the WHOLE of their showcase and interviews on Friday 12th of November (Next upload I will convert the videos hopefully).

What I love is to keep hearing from Anna Pettinelli how awesome live they have been (I know because I got Marghe’s words there, but Anna is another thing obviously ;))

Click here for  jumping to the page, but think the pieces will be up later this week:

Click to jump in RDS Radio Showcase page

The day after they went as planned to Amici, but due to the fact they had the plane to Paris at 5 pm, they had to perform straight in the presentation segment.

That was GREAT because they could avoid DePippis’ awful face, but on he download they had to face that idiot subpar journalist which is Luca Dondoni messing it all up during the interview (luckily Adam couldn’t really get a word that idiot said in Italian, because he would have punched him… erm… let’s inform Dondoni that Maroon5 are active from 2001, NOT 2005. In 2005 your lame ass knew about them because you only reckon what comes in Italy by the time it does come here… but not everyone gets famous first here, you dumb one!).

Anyway, this is the performance that I could retape out from Mediaset Plus:

Okay.

I actually should have started later with Maroon5, but this was in some way also part of my weekend so… I did it now.

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 8

This weather so far isn’t brilliant BUT if things go well this weekend we should finally go to the mountains also because week after we fly in USA for Thanxgiving so we better take this chance 😉

After that, past Lady Gaga gig, we will attend again Scala Première and WAGNER’s Valkirya!!!!

Can’t truly hold my excitement on any longer about it.

I adore Wagner 🙂 🙂 🙂

I am a melomaniac and he’s among my total fav musicians ever… I adore Eddan miths too so… BINGO!!!!

I will buy my long dress at Barney’s 😉 Yup. 🙂

But okay, let’s get back into Maroon5 chronicle because actually in a way this “sooner than expected” update is functional to the impressive amounts of Victoria’s Secrets Fashion Show pictures that I have  to show off.

We know Adam and actually the band as well attended the show, and it was an outburst of loveliness and open affectionate display of pride.

Before that though, I gotta post a lil stream out of Halloween bash where we got to see Adam and Anne together (register if you like to the site for the bigger pics if you like, by clicking on the shots):

Adam and Anne at Halloween Party 2010

I gotta post also a further note about the Miami retreat of the beautiful couple, because we got to know more from People Magazine:

People Magazine on Anne and Adam in Miami, November 2010

If you wonder, yep, we got the pics of the beach (those of the club you can see them in the previous post).

Anne in Miami with Adam, November 2010 - 9

But we got those of Anne only because as per usual “Batman” Adam avoided like cancer the ‘razzi around (which I love him for).

Take a look at Anne’s shining beauty.

Girl is to die for, PERFECT body and lovely face.

What one could ask for more?

Note that all the beach pictures have been taken out from Celebslam and that they are all over the page starting from up above ;).

Too bad we couldn’t really fix eyes into Adam’s underchest tats…

And speaking of tats, allegedly Anne seems interested in finding her way to some shining ones?

Don’t wound your body baby.

Even though I should shut up because after all I have got one too, albeit minuscule, mattering and… strategically positioned (nobody would see it if I’d wear a bikini like this one she wore ;)).

Adam, James, Gabe Saporta ay VSFS November 2010

Okay, back at the chronicles of Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show now.

While Anne was getting preppy starting from the wee hours of the morning, (show was taped twice… first at 3 and then at 8 in the evening with the whole crowd of public attendance, and it will be broadcasted November 30th), in her apartment Adam was having his “perfectly self-served” breakfast, at a time that I won’t comment (afternoon?).

adam cheering up anne in standing ovation 😉

Having time before heading to the Armory, he just decided watchin Sons of Anarchy was more than due (like he needs a push there ;)).

But when he went down to please and praise his lady…

OH!!!

He truly outdid himself.

He was with James and Jesse and he met also Cobra Starship’s Gabe Saporta (they’re gonna touring with them and Sara Bareilles in Australia in May actually, and they’re longtime buddies), but really he outdid himself,starting as soon as he went into the Armory:

Adam proudly supporting Anne

As I was writing the previous post, guy truly is so open about his love right now he melts me.

Fully.

And he doesn’t melt only me of course ;).

Even people not regularly keen at him had to reckon he’s just so tender when in love

Adam cheers Anne - E Entertainment

Even the way he dressed was an open praise to Anne.

Adam on VSFS

His shirt in fact was a gigantography of her face, in beautiful B&W outlines.

Just GOOOOORGEOUS.

And very, very, very sweet.

The after party post defilé was held at Lavo (there is one in New York too, yep) and it was soft and cozy and again very affectionate allegedly :).

I just ADORED Anne’s dress, with passion.

First you gotta have the body to wear that and second it was sexy as hell but still really fashionable and classy.

Rawwwwr 🙂

These Collages are all via The Fashion Spot, and if you click on threads you will be taken to the posts (please give credits where due always):

Anne V runaway images from VSFS November 2010 - via The Fashion Spot

She’s gloriously beautiful… and I SO want her wing-less outfit. Karim already knows I want it all, jewels included 😉

Anne V's first Wings - Via The Fashion Spot

awwww…. 🙂

More HQ via Fashion Spot of Adam and Anne at VSFS Nov 2010

What can I say? I’m in love with them together 😉

Adam and Anne at VSFS Pink Carpet (Collage via The Fashion Spot)

Quite aptly, there were fashionistas who were smart enough to give Adam a note up for his style at the event (and indeed he managed to just be fashionably himslef this time) :

 

Adam es un hombre chic? Yep. He is.

After the well due party, Adam and Anne had both a day to cope with posthumous of partying it up.

Actually Adam had to fight symptoms better cos he had a flight to catch from JFK to Rome at around 5 pm ;), while she actually was able to sleep and rest and cuddle the whole day.

Adam Radio Z 100

He managed to kill waiting time by buying something that I have bought as well this summer for my iPhone (somewhere in the posts of my summer you see my iPhy cased into my protection waterproof… if I remember correctly there was a magazine of Anne aside actually ;)).

As soon as he went into Italy’s soil, of course first thing he thought of was pizza (oh, man…), while Jesse, way more lyrical, at sunset shot this beautiful picture from Monte Mario (where RDS Auditorium is).

In our territory they had time to tell us about new sections available for SIN members (I’m not, so I know this thanx to Marghe ;))

M5 and Julian Perretta

Also Anne had to leave soon from NY: her gig these days is actually in Los Angeles (the irony…) but she’s there in hotel and enjoying the facilities there as she shots her campaign in Golden Coast.

Her modeling gig left her in a look that seems directly taken off from her boyfriend’s style as of late, don’t you think?

After Rome, guys went to Paris (where they still be) and have recorded a showcase, got the news that they are candidate at NRJ Awards, and are warming up to move first to Amsterdam for another shocase (exactly tomorrow) and then to UK for the Children In Need BBC benefit (during weekend).

In Paris they also had time to meet up with their friend Julian P., who’s always so cute (and quite tall, the guy is!).

Adam chats with Jesse waiting for Anne's show

In their frenzy times of course they still manage to be funny and loveable.

And as it always happens when boredom catches him (or when he has to wait for his lady to catch up from the other side of the world and viceversa), Adam produces some of his best tweets when he notices things foreign in his unique way.

9 hours of time gap also get on Anne, but she has found ways to cope with that thanx to a gal pal (the same gal pal that was in the very very first photo of Adam cheering on her from LA while she was catwalking in Paris back at the start of March – I never forget a face, check freely… gal is the same.).

Another gal pal instead was with her shopping at The Grove (sigh… wanna get there too…) and catchin up movies ;).

About Lakers… I prefer to not comment any furtherly (sigh…).

Adam on benefits of digital music

Okay… more or less I have filled the page and considering I wasn’t even due to be here, it’s more than okay and enough right?

I’m following the best type of tv, Saviano and Fazio getting serious in Vieni Via Con Me.

So it’s a great night.

Karim aside… love ruling, hopes flying high.

I’m very fortunate and blessed.

Have all a great few days ahead, folks.

Catch you soon – enough – 😉

Bye, Z.
