A new vBlog from Josh...

Yeah - Josh has posted a new video blog.

2am vlog / snack attack. we've all been there -- Late Night Kitchen Time…sounds like a good show idea for Food Network. “Good Evening! Tonight we’re cooking campbells tomato soup. Again.”

One of the best lines - "Good lord I think I've finally done controversial in my career!!!

And Josh, feel free to go off the wall anytime you want.

The Best Red Carpet Interview ever...

Ok, so in one of my previous posts (Josh Groban - I think it's time to Step Back) I kind of made mention of the fact that I didn't really like YRMU and in-fact I wanted Josh to consign it to the "Never to be sung again" pile.

Well my friends, I'm a big enough person to admit to you all that my opinion has changed, and it's all because of this:



Groban singing like a parrot - pure genius!!!!

My Take – Josh Groban at the Emmys...



Seeing Josh Groban sing a mashed up medley of TV theme songs was the absolute best reason to stay home from work today. It was hilarious and was the perfect showcase for his comic genius, his incredible mimicry talents and of course his amazing voice!!!

In an interview he did before the big show he had this to say:

"Nothing I'm singing I've ever sung before, except for South Park with friends," Josh said before his live performance. "There's a lot of stuff that allows me to just be me, then there's a lot of stuff that allows me to let my multiple personalities to go play for a bit."


Seriously, that boy had so much fun and the way he just let go and allowed his multiple personalities to come out and play, just made my day...

He even had some fun on the red carpet (see this post).



And while I think of it – the best line from the red carpet was when Kathy Griffin told E!’s Ryan Seacrest: “I just saw Josh Groban on the red carpet. It’s got to hurt you that he gets so much more tail than you do!” LOL...



I know some ‘so-called’ critics weren’t that impressed with it, because it was so (in their words) cheesey. And yes, while it was cheeseball and kitchy, that’s what made it so brilliant. Josh didn’t hold back – Seriously, I don't know many other mutli-million selling recording artists would have been seen doing the Baywatch slo-mo run, the “robot” during “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” and how can I forget his 'dancing' during The Love Boat.

Anyway, I think this is pretty much the full list of the songs he sang (or clicked his fingers to, or in the case of Law & Order just waited for the soundbite...)

The Simpsons
Friends (and yes, it did include the clap LOL)
Happy Days
The Golden Girls
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
The Andy Griffith Show (and yes, he whistled)
The Love Boat (even with a little Groban-esque inspired dance)
Law & Order
The Adams Family
The Muppets (Josh does Animal)
X Files (No, take me!!)
South Park
The Jeffersons (with a choir. Guess they had to use them on something other than YRMU)
Baywatch Theme (with Josh running on the spot slo-mo style)
The Brady Bunch
Cops (Bad Boys – I'd do anything to hear the full version of this)
Law & Order
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (rap style with the lead in of a quiet "Oh God")
Introductions for Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien and The Daily Show featuring Johnny Carson;
Two and a Half Men
Rawhide
Gilligan’s Island
M*A*S*H ("Suicide is Painless - Broadway style with chorus-line dancers)
The Carol Burnett Show (with an ear tug at the end by Josh)
** There was a quick flash of the Cheers picture right at the end but he didn't sing any of the theme song

OMJ - Josh Groban has legs....



This was apparently in a magazine called "In Touch". Of course, I could be totally wrong, but I think he's wearing the same shorts as for the In Style" article so it that's the case then it's probably from the same photoshoot.

The little blurb that was written states: Josh's Malibu Retreat... Singer Josh Groban, here hanging out by the luxurious pool at his Malibu home, goes off the deep end more than people thing! "I'm not as serious as I'm made out to be," he says. Josh fell in love with this house instantly two years ago. After moving in, he enlisted the help of this interior designer mom, Lindy, to help turn his backyard into an outdoor oasis. Says Josh, "It's like an instant vacation out here."

There's also an insert picture of Kid Rock...Kid Rock comes to visit...Josh, who says his parties are often poolside events, has famous neighbors like David Spade and Kid Rock, who spend time there. Josh has been known to heat up the grill and make turkey burgers for everyone!

This is the original article:
