Anorexia

For celebs being in the spotlight, on camera, and idols in the eyes of others it is difficult for them sometimes to feel that they look good enough to play the part. Many celeberties in this day and age are suffering from the sickness of anorexia. It is a serious illness that is more of mental illness then anything else. Not only is this a big part of the hot young teens of hollywood but it is also a huge issue of young teens in America. Rumors start and things usually get out of hand. Being thin is in. So everyone wants to be thin, at any risk. It is dangerous and unhealthy. It is also potentially deadly. People have died from starvation. But the sad part is when people don't understand how this is an illness of the brain. Many anorexics became anorexic because it is esentially the only thing in their life that they can control. Some are in abusive relationships and others just live out of control lives. I've known several anorexics on my cheerleading team. It is a sad and scary thing to see a friend go through something like that.

I was so excited to find out that they were performing during the show and also to find otu that my very best friend had boughten 2 tix for their tour. We are going to see them in Feb. and I couldn't be more excited. I love the Spice Girls they are looking better then ever and I'm soo looking forward to seeing them perform live.

Mayweather vs Hatton

I used to watch boxing a lot when I was a kid. My father used to watch it and I grew to like it. However since my childhood I haven't watched boxing at all, and still I don't watch it. I hear about the matches when they are big and my friends all bet on them and still I have little interest in making time in my schedule to watch a match. If I were however were with somone who wanted to see it, i'd prolly watch it. Anyways I knew that a big match was going to be on sat. so I figured I'd write an entry about who the winner is. But I did other things on my saturday night. So heres an article I found and read to see how it all went.

OMAHA, Dec. 6 —A video surveillance camera at the Westroads Mall here showed that Robert Hawkins entered the main entrance of the Von Maur department store Wednesday afternoon, looked around briefly and then left, before entering the store again six minutes later, carrying what was later learned to be a rifle.

“He appeared to be concealing something balled up in a hooded sweatshirt,” Police Chief Thomas Warren said at a televised news conference.

Mr. Hawkins then took an elevator to the store’s third floor, “and upon exiting the elevator, he immediately started firing shots.”

A few terrifying minutes later — which seemed endless to those who lived through it — eight people were left dead in the crowd of panicked holiday shoppers and employees, and Mr. Hawkins had turned the weapon on himself, dying almost instantly.

At the news conference, the chief was joined by the governor of Nebraska, Dave Heineman, and the mayor of Omaha, Mike Fahey, and together they provided a more detailed chronology of what took place inside the Von Maur store during the time it took Mr. Hawkins to carry out the horrific acts that have stunned this city. They also provided more details about Mr. Hawkins’ troubled life, and identified the eight people he killed.

“These were innocent people going about their daily lives, performing their jobs and shopping for the holiday,” the mayor said. “They were men and women who did not deserve the fate that they were given.

“This was an ugly act of cowardice.”

They eight victims included five women and three men, ranging in age from 24 to 66. Six of the victims were employees of the store, the chief said, and two were customers.

The shopping mall remained closed off as a crime scene today, and is not scheduled to re-open until Friday. The authorities do not know yet why Mr. Hawkins chose the Westroads Mall, on Omaha’s west side, or what demons he was battling when he wrote in a note to friends, in a haunting foreshadowing of what he was about to do: “Now I’ll be famous.”

“The shooting victims were randomly selected,” the chief said. Mr. Hawkins’s motives are not completely understood yet, the chief said, but he appeared determined to harm as many people as possible.

“We have not been able to determine why he chose that location, other than the fact that it was a very busy mall, a public place, “ the chief said. “Obviously we’re in the midst of a very busy shopping season. If you were looking to engage in mass casualty type of incident, you would choose a public place “ The governor said that Mr. Hawkins had been a ward of the state from 2002 to 2006 and had previous run-ins with the law, but had not been associated with violence.

Later in the day, Todd Landry, director of the state’s department of Children and Family Services, said that the state provided Mr. Hawkins with stays at residential centers and in-patient facilities and also at a hospital. The facilities provided him with addiction counseling, mental-health counseling and behavioral counseling, among other services, but he said federal and state privacy laws prevented him from being more specific about Mr. Hawkins’ problems.

Mr. Landry said in a news conference that one of the treatment periods came after Mr. Hawkins had threatened to kill his stepmother.

Court records showed that Mr. Hawkins had a felony drug conviction and that several misdemeanor charges had been filed against him, The Associated Press reported. Most recently, he had been charged with having alcohol as a minor, and he was due to appear in court in two weeks.

For the last year, Mr. Hawkins had been living with Debora Maruca-Kovac, whose son was a friend of his. It was Ms. Maruca-Kovac who shared with the authorities a note that Mr. Hawkins’s left her family.

“He basically said how sorry he was for everything,” she told CNN about the note. “He didn’t want to be a burden to people.”



I just took this article from the New York Times. I just wanted to make comments about the entire situation. I cannot believe that this is happening again. It seems like this is becoming a popular act amongst troubled teens on the edge of commiting suicide. That is, to take others lives before they take their own. It makes me sick when I hear stories like this on the news. It is so sad that someone is so miserable with their life that they murder others. These people were complete strangers. What motives were behind his shooting? It is obvious that he was a troubled teen and someone should of known that his behavior would lead to something serious.

Woah, How much money do you really need?

So I always knew that movie stars and actors were paid well. But how much is well? According to Reese Witherspoon who is listed at the top of the highest paid actresses she makes $15 million to $20 million a movie. This 31-year old Academy Award winner is placed at the top of The Hollywood Reperter's annual list of the highest paid actresses. Coming in second was Angelina Jolie with similar salary demands. This 32-year old actress makes just $8 million. Cameron Diaz was third, with a $15 million-per-movie price tag. Nicole Kidman dropped to fourth place, two spots lower than last year, with an asking price of $10 million to $15 million a film. Renee Zellweger and Sandra Bullock also get $10 to $15 million paychecks. So does Julia Roberts, who hasn't appeared on the big screen since 2004. Her next film, "Charlie Wilson's War," is due in theaters in December. Rounding out the top 10 are Drew Barrymore and Jodie Foster, who ask $10 million to $12 million per project, and Halle Berry, who gets $10 million a picture.

The salary list appears in The Hollywood Reporter's "Women in Entertainment: Power 100" issue.

Pregnant Christina Aguilera

Teen pop sensation Christing Aguilera flaunts her prego stomach on the cover of Marie Claire's January issue. Aguilera is a 26-year old singer. On the cover she is shown wearing a cropped jacket and a bare stomach. This issue will be on newsstands December 11th. Aguilera married Jordan Bratman in 2005. Singer says she learned she was pregnant while on her recent "Back to Basics" tour.

"We were planning on starting to try after the tour. And so, I had gone off the Pill to prepare my body, because I didn't know how much time it would take. You've heard it takes some time -- except with Power Egg and Super Sperm here," she says. "... I'm like, 'Oh my god, can you believe it just happened?'"

Aguilera says she became "paranoid" during the tour.

"There are so many things that could go wrong -- somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall," says Aguilera, who wore a heart monitor during performances. "There was no way ... I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show."

She adds: "Because I hadn't said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that's not the case at all. I just wasn't commenting. I'm not being like, 'Hey everybody, I'm pregnant!' I'm not that girl."

Paparazzi Mayhem

Hawthorn Heights

On November 24th while his band was in Washington D.C's 9:30 club, the guitarist of Hawthorn Height, Casey Calvert young at 26 passed in his sleep. Reason for death is unknown. Beside being beloved by his own band, many bands showed remorse for Calvert.

"Casey was a fun guy, he was always relaxed, and had a great attitude about touring," said FOB guitarist Joe Trohman. "And he knew how to hang out. I remember that [Black Clouds and Underdogs] tour we did together in Spring 2006, and how much fun it was, and whenever the after-show hang commenced, he was always present with the lone group of us that would get together and just shoot the s--- for hours until we left whichever venue we were at that night. Definitely a really personable guy — always sweet to anyone who walked up to him and I never saw him without a smile. We'll all miss him."

Project Runway, WHAT WHAT!!

Yes, it has finally returned. My absolute favorite Bravo tv show, Project Runway. The show is hosted by Victoria Secrets own, Heidi Klum and a panel of industry luminaries, including judges Michael Kors, top women's and men's wear designer and Nina Garcia, Elle magazine fashion director, as they decide who is “in” and who is “out.” And of coarse my favorite person on the show Tim Gunn, Chief Creative Officer at Liz Claiborne, Inc. once again acts as a mentor to the contestants as they navigate weekly fashion challenges. It is the start of the fourth season with 15 contestants. The show whittles down to a final three who show their final line in front of an audience at New York’s Fashion Week. The winner walks away with a cash prize of $100,000 from TRESemme professional hair care in order to start their own line. They will also have the opportunity to sell a fashion line on Bluefly.com. And will be awarded a 2008 Saturn Astra. How amazing is that. I watch this show religiously and get so excited by all the amazing designs. I can’t believe how beautiful some of these clothes come out to the runway and you watch the designer as they make it. I’ll be looking forward to see who the winner of the 4th season is.

Ahh, I have a priest stalking me!!

Well, no I do not have a priest stalking me, but someone else does. Having a stalker is never a funny thing. It’s a serious matter which sometimes leads to injuries or death of the person being stalked. To know that you have a stalker is a scary thing. Recently late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien has learned that he indeed has a stalker. His stalker is a Massachusetts native as well as O’Brien’s hometown priest. Reverend David Ajemian, 46 worked at a Stoneham Catholic church and wrote O’Brien three threatening letters on parish letterhead, contacted his parents, and showed up to his studio. He was arrested last week while trying to enter a taping session of
Conan’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” at New York’s Rockefeller Plaza.

Ajemian referred to himself as “your priest stalker” in one note. He also complained of not being allowed in to see an earlier taping of the show. The letters and e-mails began in September 2006 and continued after Ajemian was asked to stop.

The priest could face up to a year in prison if convicted on charges of aggravated harassment and stalking. Ajemian is a graduate of Harvard and the John XXIII National Seminary and was ordained in May 2001. The New York Times reports that the priest said in his correspondence that he had followed Mr. O'Brien's career since they both attended Harvard.

Harry Potter Hoo-Rah

Yes, I am a Harry Potter movie fan. I do enjoy watching the movies and will admit to seeing them on their nights of debut. I always catch the midnight showings because I am just fascinated with Harry Potter and his wizard friends. (HAHA) I was searching around reading different articles written on entertainment and topics alike. I found one that was titled J.K. Rowling Outs Hogwarts Character I was so excited to find out which character J.K Rowling had outted. I know of the controversy that has risen from the Harry Potter books. Christian groups as well as others protested to ban Harry Potter books because it talks about witch-craft.

Carnagie Hall was where Rowling made her announcement before a full house. She outed the beloved character Albus Dumbledore, the master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts.

She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. 'Falling in love can blind us to an extent,' Rowling said of Dumbledore's feelings, adding that Dumbledore was 'horribly, terribly let down.'

Spice Girls Back in Action

I was so upset finding out that the english pop girl group the Spice Girls were breaking up. I was young and just starting to identify music. I knew what I liked and didn't like. And Spice Girls was something I loved.

Now, I come to find out many years later that the girls are putting together a reuinion tour. How awesome is that!? Well I guess it would of been more awesome if I was still a ten year old girl obsessed with them. Well after all that, they are putting an album out in stores. All the girls are back together and the album will debut on November 13.

Entitled "Greatest Hits," the album will feature 13 of the girl group's biggest hits as well as two new singles, "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" and "Voodoo." The album will additionally be sold on various music sites including iTunes, and die-hard fans can pre-order themselves a copy of the CD on the Victoria's Secret Website for 24 hours between midinight on Oct. 17-18.

As for this world tour, it begins December 2nd. So don't forget, while your shopping for bras and panties pick up the Spices Girls newest album.

Boy lost in the Amazon!!

What the heck? How does that happen? Do you even know what I'm talking about? HA Ok well, a little three year old boy was lost in the Amazon for eleven whole days. How incredible is that!? Ok so you might be wondering..how does a three year old get lost? Reports say that he followed his father into the forrest..what I'm thinking is, where is the mother to be watching after him? How can a three year old child just wonder off by themself with no adult supervision and if I'm wrong and the father led the boy into the forrest what in gods name is wrong with this father!?

Neilson Oliveira Lima was apparently unharmed apart from suffering from dehydration and having thorns in his feet and legs, police said. The boy disappeared from his home in the rural community of Pupuai on September 16. He was found on September 27 about two miles away. He was found by his cousin, who was out hunting.

It seems as if the family didn't search enough for him if his "cousin" found him while he was off hunting, mind you it was eleven days later. And boy is he lucky to be alive. If I don't eat for like three hours I swear that I will die of starvation. I thought this was kind of intersting even though its not relative to my other blogs. However it is sort of entertainment I got a laugh out of reading about it.

Don Imus Back on Air?

Wow, who would of thought it. Six months after the "nappy headed ho" firestorm that led to the firing of shock jock Don Imus, the radio veteran may return to the airwaves soon as part of a new deal with Citadel Broadcasting. The impending deal appears to rule out any potential move to satellite radio, Variety reports. Meanwhile, Sirius Satellite Radio chief Mel Karmazin indicated over the summer that he, too, would be interested in signing Imus to a deal.

As you all SHOULD know, Imus was fired this past year for stating that the girls of the Rutgers Basketball team were all nappy headed hos. I can understand that he was only "joking" but some things can't be taken lightly, or they turn into something else. After the big episode that was a product of Imus's talk radio show, he apologized. He won a 20 million dollar settlement with CBS radio to terminate the contract.

The civil suits against him, including one from a Rutgers women's basketball team member, were dropped.

Some people think that it was taken out of control and to the next level. While others disagree and feel that he made a clear racist remark to the girls on the Rutgers basketball team. If you ask me what I think, I don't really care. I never heard Don Imus on the radio and I only heard that one quote that he spoke about those girls. If I heard the entire broadcast maybe I could have a substantial opinion about him. But I don't, so as for me, I can care less.

Britney Loses Custody

And the verdict is...Britney loses sole custody of her two children. Honestly who didn't see that coming? I mean c'mon, Britney has become a whole new person ever since tying the knot with K. Fed. She even worsened after their divorce. Britney is completely out of control, in and out of rehab, shaving her head completely bald, driving with her son on her lap, excessive partying with the local anorexics of Hollywood, and the huge fight between her and her mother. What could you expect of a person who parades around town like this, in the eye of the media to do with two children? No one who sees the way that this pop star behaves would ever give her the responsibility to take care of two other people when she obviously can't even take care of herself. She is a joke and a disgrace. I'm embarrassed to say I ever admired her as a person, she is nothing but trash. I'm glad she doesn't have custody of her kids, she has a lot of apologizing and making up to do before she could ever get her children back. As for her new album it was supposed to come out Oct. 30th but the record label moved it up to Nov. 14. I definitely know that that is not something I'm rushing to stores to pick up. Or even download. I hope her career just crumbles and her life falls apart. She is the epitome of disgusting. The way she acts in front of the camera is embarrassing even for her fans.

I didn't mean to rant and rave about her I mean I don't even hate her that much, ha. At one time I really did enjoy her music and appreciate her. Well not anymore. And I doubt I ever will appreciate her as much as I did.

Soulja Boi

I have a very good friend who attends school down in Florida at the University of Central Florida. Over the summer of 2007 my friend had to attend summer classes in order to take the major he desired. After a month or so down in Florida taking summer courses he flew back north to our home state of New Jersey. With him he brought the song that now blasts out of every car window and has its own dance. The song I refer to is, "Crank That" by Soulja Boy. This song is heard everyday and has swept the nation. Its vulgar lyrics that have a disturbing meaning is what all the kids today listen to and repeat religiously. Every one who hears this song automatically begins to show off their dance moves by performing the "crank that" dance. I would like to give credit to my friend who introduced this song to me so early in the summer. I feel like I was able to hear it before most people I know. However, eventually I would have heard this song, so recognition is not something I would really like to award to my dear friend. And as for hearing it, I would much rather not of heard this song...ever.

Memoir

A memoir, in simple words can be defined as an autobiography. It is written in a less structured form compared to a typical autobiography and is told in chronological order from childhood to adulthood. A memoir is also most often written in first person point of view. It is based on personal experiences and memory. In some terms a memoir can somewhat be falsified. The story line is true however some events and details may be exaggerations of the truth.

Actress Vanessa Anne Hudgens was born on December 14, 1988, in Salinas, California, but grew up in San Diego. Vanessa is most famous for her roles of Corrie on the hit children show "The Suite Life of Zack And Cody" and Gabrielle Montiz on the Disney Channel original movie "High School Musical." Reports claimed that the gorgeous brunette had snapped a picture with a camera phone for her High School Musical sweetie Zac Efron. These nude photos accidently got into the hands of a third party and now are streaming all over the web. Hudgens apologizes to Disney for the embarassing pics that are now floating around the internet. She said: “I want to apologize to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends.” Disney accepts the apoloy and hopes that she learns from this mistake. I think Hudgens made a mistake and should not be held accountable for the pics she took. She meant them to be seen by her boyfriend and her boyfriend only. I think that people these days don't respect that privacy of others. Granted she is a famous t.v/movie star, she still needs her own privacy. If it were any ordinary person no one would say anything about it.

Rock of Love

The popular television show "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels" airs on VH1's V-Spot. It stars the famous lead singer of the band Poison. With a twenty year run as lead singer of the band Poison, Bret Michaels is one of the most enduring rock musicians of the past two decades. In this reality TV series 20 females are picked to live in a house together and compete for the love of Bret Michaels. Each week in the series girls are eliminated and some girls are given passes to move on to the proceeding week. In every episode the girls grow fonder and fonder of the beloved Bret Michaels. As time goes on tensions between the girls heat up in the house. The girls on the show form alliances as well as make enemies. As girls team up, they blow up the spots of others in the house. This may result in the decision of Bret as to whether the girl shall stay or go. At the beginning of the episode, Bret rolls up to his pad in the Hollywood Hills. His security guy, Big John, introduces him to the ladies. They’re a motley crew let me tell you. Some of these women look just like what the ‘cat dragged in’. These roses got a few ‘thorns’ in ‘em, okay. Need I go on? Weeks have passed and in each episode the girls endured both physical and communication competitions with each other. They were judged and decisions were made as to which girls would stay and which girls would leave. The girls picked to compete are some of the trashiest, dumbest, platinum blonde dyed bimbos I’ve ever witnessed. In the end, Bret picks the raging Heather over the sluty manipulative red-headed Lacey. Now the final two compete on two long lived days of dates with Bret. Elimination time has finally come. Bret couldn’t come to one decision so he asks the two finalist Jes and Heather if they are willing to share Bret, and both be his girlfriend. Heather agrees to the proposition, but Jes feels in her heart that it isn’t right; she wants Bret for her not to be shared. And with that being said, Bret felt that Jes was the right one for her. So after all was said and done the one to go home with Bret that night was Jes. I was rooting for her through all 12 episodes.

Britney's performance at the MTV 2007 VMA's

Sunday, September 9, Britney Spears opened the VMA's with a poolry delivered performance. Britney delivered what was destined to be the most talked about performance for all the wrong reasons. Starting the show off with her new single "Gimme More," Britney Spears looked completly off and unprepared. She went through her dance moves with hardly any enthusiasm. It was as if she had forgotten her entire routine and barley got through it. And to make it all worse, she seemed completely out of shape to be appearing in front of millions of viewers in her skimpy little two-piece. In my opinion it was the worst Britney Spears perfomance I have ever seen. And I think many will agree.
