A THOUSAND CLEVER LINES: September 2010

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM DRAKE

I began following Drake on Twitter because he's talented and gorgeous, and I like to say up-to-date with the hot Jewish-Canadian types. But I continue to follow him because he always has some lovely pearls of wisdom for me, even if they're not all his own. Such as:

"Being real is like being a lady-if you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

"Anything I've ever done that was ultimately worthwhile initially scared me to death."

"Many fine things can be done in a day if you don't always make that day tomorrow."

"Life is like a confused teacher-first she gives the test, and then she teaches the lesson."

"You have to risk going too far to discover just how far you can really go."

LOOKALIKES: JACKSON HURST & DURMOT MULRONEY

Brothers from another mother. Here's hoping Durmot Mulroney has an important story to tell that requires a biopic, because Jackson Hurst would be a shoe-in for the lead role.

TAYLOR SWIFT vs. KANYE WEST

The 2010 VMAs are airing tonight, amidst rumors that Taylor Swift will sing a new song about last year's run-in with Kanye West. As much as I disagree with his behavior that night, I truly hope this rumor isn't true.

Part of what I love about Taylor Swift is how she appears to handle her fame with such grace and class, and even at last year's VMAs, she held herself together in front of an audience of millions at a time when no one would have faulted her for breaking down. In my opinion, to re-hash the interruption heard 'round the world on the same show, one year later, would make her look as though she's clinging to that past, instead of moving on with the rest of us.

LYRICAL GEMS: T.I. ft. JOHN LEGEND

Impossible is nothing, your environment's irrelevant
Just don't let your emotions overpower your intelligence
Refuse to give up, your mistakes don't define you

Still resonates after all these years.
