I Love You Man


         " I Love You Man" the movie recently came out. So far it has gotten great reviews. The comedy stars Paul Rudd, Rashida Jones, and Snl's Andy Samberg.  This romantic comedy is about Peter ( Paul Rudd), who is about to get married, realizes he doesn't have a best man. Like his dad says throughout his whole life he's only been friends with girls. Peter then goes on a man hunt in search of a best man. After going on multiple disaster dates he meets a fun loving guy, Sydney, he realizes the more he hangs out with him the more he learns about him self. He also learns who he wants his best man to be. This comedy was given a B by Entertainment Weekly. Although I haven't had a chance to see this movie yet I'm so excited to! I'm a huge fan of Andy Samberg so I'm looking forward to it. Word on the street is this movie was a success and worth it to see.

High School Musical 3 shocked the audience by winning best movie over Dark Knight and Iron Man. American Idol won best reality tv which isn't a surprise because it's won the past 4 years. The Jonas Brothers also took home an award for best music group which was no surprise either. Miley Cyrus was extremely excited to find out she won best female singer after not winning for best tv show. I believe everyone watching caught her tearing up! Taylor Lautner accepted the award for best book series "Twilight." The night had the biggest slime event ever and had old favorites on the stage such as Leonardo Dicaprio and Will Smith.

XOXO, Gossip Girl


     ****Spoiler Alert******Every Monday  I look forward to watching one of my favorite tv shows, Gossip Girl. Gossip Girl is currently in it's second infamous season. Teens, adults and people of all ages gather around on Monday nights to watch it. Gossip Girl is very different then the books because although the idea was based of the books, the events that happen and some of the characters and portrayed differently. Although I love the books, I think that the tv is extremely entertaining as well.
     This weeks Gossip Girl returned after a very long break. The episode consisted of some shocks and twists. Miss Rachel, the teacher that gives off the sweet and innocent vibe had sexual relations with a student and revealed a secret in a gossip blog. She is finally gone for good. The episode has a school play with a cute director. After Serena starts falling for him we find out that he's gay. Dan breaks up with Rachel because she tells Serena's secret through a Gossip Blog. Chuck was seen running around with people from his dad's secret ex-club. The major even that happened was Blair not getting into Yale because she "lied about a teacher student relationship. Will Dan come forward and say it was true, to save Blaire's reputation?

Twilight on DVD March 21, 2009



               The much anticipated Twilight DVD is being released on Saturday, March 21. Twilight fans are extremely excited for the DVD with deleted scenes and extra bonus features to come out. The movie was said to be not completely up to expectations of most Twilight fans. Although the cast was VERY good looking the movie just did not compare to the books. Parts of the movie were not only different from the book but also kind of a disappointment. For example, the meadow scene just wasn't the same as the book and Edward's character, played by Rob Pattinson, did a good job but seemed way harsher then Edward was portrayed in the book. Usually, books are always better then the actual movies. Twilight fans still seemed to support, cheer, and respect the movie. Who knows maybe the second one will live up to expectations? 
                   For viewers that did not read the book, they found the movie to be slow and kind of boring. Because readers already knew what to expect and what to look for many viewers though parts of the movie were boring and unnecessary. Others thought the movie was confusing and didn't understand it because they left out some essential parts that are in the book.  All in all the movie was supported even though it was different then the book. You have to look at it in a whole different perspective.  On  personal note, I met Taylor Lautner ( Jacob Black) and Edi Gatheg who seemed really excited for the movie but also proud of their hard work. The entire cast had high expectations to live up to.

Music Made Easy


          So today I decided to write about something a little bit different. Everyone likes to listen to music on the radio and on their ipods but the problem with the radio is sometimes you don't always like all of the songs playing. The problem with ipods can be not having enough money to constantly download every new song that you like. People will usually download limewire so some other illegal website to download music. This can make computers slow and causes them to crash. 
      I was recently shown a new website that incorporates music that you like. On pandora you can create your own radio station and pick songs and/or artists you like and they will include those songs on your radio station. The website will also put related songs and artists on that they think you will like. There are thumbs up and thumbs down signs that you can click to tell them if you like it or not. If you don't like it they will never play it again. You can have multiple stations for example a rock one, hip hop one, etc. After you make your stations you can listen to the music on your computer or upload it to your iphone. This is a great way to enjoy the music you like FOR FREE. Try it out! www.pandora.com

Britney Spears: Circus Tour


       Britney Spears kicked off her much anticipated tour last week in New Orleans. In her show she performed songs from the new Circus album as well some old songs, such as, "toxic", "Do something", "hit me baby one more time", "I'm a Slave for you" and many more. Britney went through may costume changes and set changes as there was a lot of scenery and things going on during the concert. Her opening act was The Pussycat Dolls who didn't disappoint says reviews and Perez Hilton announced her. Britney had a lot to prove on this tour and had a lot at stake. Hopefully this won't be the last we see of her on tour. 

     The review have said that Britney most likely sang along with backing tapes and vocalists. For better or worse, many fans do not expect her to sing live. It's all about the scenery and dancing which there was said to be plenty. With all the dancing and running around she does it would be impossible to sound good live.  Britney was also said to not adress the audience at all until she said goodbye. She didn't even say hello or anything along the way. I probably would've been disappointed if I was a fan and was seeing her for the first time and if she didn't address the audience. 

Reviews say as the tour progresses, perhaps she'll loosen up. With so much at stake, and so much to prove, on the tour's first night she was focused on the complex concert. Did any of you see the concert? What did you think?

Chris Brown can't Run It after all...


Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together!? The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Chris Brown allegedly battered the singer on Feb. 8, a source says. " They're together again because they really do care for each other," says the source. The on and off couple and are currently spending time together at one of Sean "Diddy" Comb's homes , in Miami Beach's star island. " While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves. Supposedly Chris Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. Both Rihanna and Chris have reached out to each other and are trying to give it another shot. Chris Brown's police case has not been finalized and no charges have been made yet.
      If the supposed rumor is that Rihanna gave Brown herpes then beat her up should she give him another chance? Did Chris have a reason to beat her up? What would you have done? If she gave him herpes could this possibly mean she was cheating on him?

Video Girl Rocked their world but did they rock yours??




The Jonas Brother's 3-D movie premiered in theatres last Thursday. The movie was highly anticipated by fans all over the country. The Jonas boys wanted fans to get a closer look on what their life on the road and during the tour was all about. In addition to that fans were able to get a look at the sold out concert if they weren't able to see them live. Because the Jonai appreciate their fans greatly they made suprise visits to random movie theatres across the country to suprise fans and watch the movie with them. They stopped in places such as Atlanta, Las Vegas, San Franico, Charolette, NY, Austin, and Houston. The boys said that this was just a way to show their fans how much they are appreciated.


However, critics rated this "amazing" ( said by fans) and "mediocre" said by critics a 2 out of 5 stars. Critics said that while they like the boys and respect there work they don't think they should be associated with Disney. Being associated with Disney brings them down to a lower level and makes the fans base at a younger age average.


I personally feel that when stars start out on Disney they don't make very much money. Disney does not pay their child stars very much. The advertisement and fame they get out of the Disney Channel is what makes them rich and famous. Although, by separating from the Disney the boys would get more respect and be able to do things in a more mature way, Disney is what started them and gave them their celebrity lives in the first place. I think that if Disney fans are going to back away they should still pay respect to Disney and promote Disney in not such a straight- forward way. Maybe by having a commerical on disney rather then having a tour sponsered by them. What do you think? Should Disney stars be backed by Disney forever?
