LET HER BE!!!!

Britney Spears has been in the news since she started to sing and her albums sky rocketed, but before it was a good thing now the press is just taking it too far. They attack her and try to find anything that is wrong with her. Previously she let the media control her life and she did some crazy things like shave her head but today she’s trying to get herself back on track. She has upcoming concerts and has most of all her fans back, but of course, the paparazzi have to find something to taunt her about. They snapped the picture below and had much to say about it.

"It's a good thing Britney lip-syncs. Real singers have that whole smokers voice issue just before kicking off a tour" stated by TMZ.That is the problem with media today they do not speak about the good things a celebrity does (like getting back on track), instead they pick on the negative until the celebrity breaks. JUST LET HER BE!!!!

WHAT IS SHE THINKING?

The R&B world is in great joy that Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together. If you read my previous blog about the two, you would have seen that not too long ago Chris Brown physically attacked Rihanna making there relationship in the category of abusive. People magazine have stated, “The pair have reunited almost three weeks after Brown, 19, allegedly battered the "Umbrella" singer on Feb. 8, a source tells PEOPLE. They're together again. They care for each other," says the source. The on-again couple are currently spending time together at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes, on Miami Beach's Star Island. Adds the source: "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves." In its latest issue, PEOPLE reports that Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. "He called to wish her happy birthday," a source told the magazine. "They've reached out to each other. It's been mutual.” People everywhere are overjoyed that these two are back together, but what about the consequences.

Scenario: One of your girlfriends calls you and says that her boyfriend physically attacked her and she had to be hospitalized. You would probably tell her that your way better than him and that you should stay away from him. Then, a couple of weeks later she calls you and she says that they are back together. Would you be happy? No, you would be worried because you know that your friends in an abusive relationship and once a relationship gets abusive you never get that full trust back. So why is the world so happy there together? In my opinion, they receive the publicity from getting into fights then back together. The magazines sell and their popularity increases way up.

THE MEDIA CORRUPTS MANY!!!

MEDIA HAS DONE IT ONCE AGAIN. THEY SPLIT UP A TWO TIME MULTI-MILLION GROUP WITH THEIR GOSSSIP AND SLANDER ABOUT THE GROUP. DANITY KANE AN ALL GIRL GROUP HAS TWO PLATINUM ALBUMS AND A LARGE FAN BASE THAT FOLLOWS THEM AND YET THEY CAN'T STAY TOGETHER. WHY? THE GROUP THEMSELVES CANT EVEN ANSWER THAT QUESTION. THEY STARTEDTO SEPERATE AND FORM LITTLE CLICKS THE SECOND RUMORS STARTED ABOUT ONE OF THE MEMBERS WAS STARTING HER OWN CAREER, WHICH WASNT TRUE. MEDIA HAS A GREAT EFFECT ON PEOPLE AND ITS SAD TO SEE A TOP CHART GROUP BREAK UP OVER SILLY RUMORS THE MEDIA MAKES TO SEE SOME DRAMA.

DAWN A MEMBER OF THE GROUP STATED IN AN INTERVIEW WITH MTV THAT, "We have fans out there who love Danity Kane. We love Danity Kane. It's hard. We're sitting here trying to make sense of it now. It's hard. We're put in this position that we didn't ask to be in and we're being told to fix it." AS YOU CAN SEE FROM HER ANSWER, SHE IS DEVASTATED THE MEDIA DID THIS TO THEM. THE VIDEO LINK IS ----> http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/336717/dawn-richard-surprised-by-danity-kane-split.jhtml..


I BELIEVE THIS IS VERY TRAGIC FOR A GROUP TO SORT OF BITE THE DUST FOR NO APPARANT REASON. ALTHOUGH I AM NOT A NUMBER ONE FAN, I STILL BELIEVE IT’S SO WRONG FOR THE MEDIA TO HELP BREAK A GROUP UP.

how fat is fat???

Jessica Simpson has been slandered for her weight gain. They use the excuses that it is because she broke up with her oyfriend or that she's over eating because she's unhappy. This is crazy how can you say a women who s at least 150 is overweight. What has our soceity come to? Maybe she just stopped eating as healthy as before and stopped excercising. NO BIG DEAL!!!!

Fox news writes, "Is Jess preggers? Did she gain sympathy weight for sis Ashlee (who just had a baby with hubby Pete Wetnz)? Is it all a ploy to get her on the cover of a magazine? Or is it, more likely, that the star has been eating the same diet that her Dallas Cowboys quarterback boyfriend Tony Romo does?" Ok people I think that we are all definately jumping into conclusions. Why not ask the star or is the stories that people make up better then the TRUTH!!!!!!!

DID YOU KNOW?

In this short Youtube video (4:42), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9Wu2kWwSY, it shows a very interesting video of how over the years the population around the world and the population of internet users have changed significantly. I found this video very interesting with all the statistical information they presented regarding the population of the U.S and like China. It grasped my attention due to the way the wording was and how large in size the numbers were to some facts. It showed of how over the last decades the number of people have increased drastically. What caught my attention was the part of how long did it take to reach 5o million viewers. For instance, the tv took a little over 10 ten years for 50 million to buy it and the ipod took like 3 and facebook took only 2 years. That is amazing how a social networking site can have more people than the people who owned a tv. I do believe that it made the U.S seem under China and India, like they were better in a way. All the statistical numbers were much greater in those countries than in the U.S. To sum it up, I thought it was a very interesting article as to how they compare the U.S to the other countries.

Because he's Gay!!!!

Clay Aiken a previous contestant on American Idol is separating from his label RCA. According to E News, the break up happened a couple of months ago because of the fallen sales of his album On My Way Here. His album was let out after he announced that he was gay and many people believe that is why it did not sell. His cd sold 159,000 copies only a little fraction of his last cd, which sold 2.78 million dollars. The media has made such a big deal about this artist being gay and statistically, this caused his album to fail. How pathetic is that? We cannot even live in a world where people are seen as equals instead of being judged.

In my opinion, every person that bought his album and were followers of his music and did not buy his last album should be ashamed. The fact that he is gay should not mean anything. His music is still the same and he is still the same person. Clay is a father who had the horrible decision of coming out or keeping it a secret. He knew that coming out would affect his son and his career and he said he did it for his son because he can't lie to him forever. That is very honorable. Media can definitely sway what we like or dislike about an artist.

YANKEES SUCK

“I’m here to say I’m sorry… I guess when you’re young and stupid, you’re young and stupid and I’m very guilty for both of those.” This quote was taken from the New York Times; it was said by A-Rod during a press conference about his use of steroid. This Yankee member is a basic example of how a celebrity can get away with anything. Yes, they are questioning whether his 2001-2003 seasons should be wiped out the record but is that all for a baseball player who many children look up to. A team member reflects their team, if one person messes up the team becomes tainted. A-rod reflects on the Yankees and in my opinion, he should be punished worse than what he is going through now. Many children who are Yankee fans look up to him as someone they may want to be and now they know to get to be as good as him they have to use steroids. A-rods says when your young and stupid your young and stupid, therefore, what message does that tell children out there who strive to be baseball players. I HEAR BE YOUNG AND STUPID AND THEN YOU WILL GET RICH AND FAMOUS but that’s just me. Youtube shows an excellent video of just how NOT sincere or how he TRIED TO BE SINCERE.

In my opinion, as my title says, THE YANKEES SUCK. GO RED SOX WERE ALL OUR PLAYERS ARE CLEAN AND EXCELLENT ROLE MODELS FOR KIDS. At the end of the day A-rod along with the Yankees are HORRIBLE influences on young children who strive to be like them. People need to STOP SUGAR COATING A-rod’s steroid scandal and face the FACTS. RED SOX ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!!

Octoplets

The newly famous octuplets entered this world with much critic about their mother. People may think it is a blessing to have 8 children but what if your a single mom with no job no career and 3 kids. This recently famous mother explains her story throughout all the world. Fox news showed an interview where she spoke about her dream of having a big family. Many people have attacked her like all other celebrities saying she's an irresponsible and selfish mother who puts her needs first. Just like a celebrity her personal information was dug into and little by little rumors where being brought up. For instance there are claims that she had plastic surgery to inflate her lips to look like Angelina Jolie which she denies completely. At the moment the mother believes that she is capable of taking care the kids and she will need government assistant but shes not the only one in the world using tax payers money therefore why do they judge her for that. Another student in the class speaks about the mother in a very negative way the link is below.

CHILD ABUSE

In my opinion, yes she might have been selfish having such a large family without being financial stable but thats her choice. I believe the media should leave her alone and let her live her life shes just another single mother who needs financial help to help with her 14 children. JUST LET HER BE AND STOP MAKING A BIG DEAL!!!!

What makes this case so special???

Around the world, everyday there is women out there who are being physically abused by their significant other. Does anyone ever hear of it? Do people make a big deal? Rarely ever is domesticated violence in the news unless it gets as extreme as killing the significant other. Usually when a woman is abused the guy is let off the first couple of times and rarely ever is it in the news. Why have we been hearing about Chris Brown in the news for the past week? Is it because he's famous or the fact that his girlfriends famous?



Everywhere you go you see the latest updates on the Chris Brown case. Well, Mamolith Articles have written about the incident stating that while leaving "Clive Davis’ party, Rihanna and her boyfriend Chris Brown got into a physical altercation in their limo and Brown punched Rihanna in the face." According to sources, she ran and called 911 while he fled the scene. The article is very skeptical whether he hit or not but the LAPD said that Chris Brown and Rihanna were in Hancock Park were they had an argument and it was visible that she had injuries in her face and that he attacked her. According to the LA TIMES and People, Brown turned himself in for questioning in connection with a police investigation into charges of a felony battery. He was then released from LAPD custody with a $50,000 bail . His "people" as he may say declared that he did not hit her it was rather just a "car accident."



In my analysis, it is very weird that people might think that he was innocent because in any other situation the attacker would have been guilty because all the facts are there. Due to the fact that he is a R&B star many people are biased and they automatically judge differently. Newsflash guys he's a regular human being who probably lost his temper and hit her. STOP DEFENDING HIM!!!!!!!!

How many children could have died??

How many of us buy clothes based on the brand? Everyday people go into the malls and buy celebrity clothing becasue of the name. Some of these artists aren't even majored in high fashion but because of their name and connections people everywhere buy their clothing.

Recently in the news from MSNBC, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled kids hooded sweat shirts from Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers line. A singer may I add is the owner of this clothing line that sold these hoodies for $75 that had the capabilities of killing many children. They have a drawstring through the hood that can pose a strangulation hazard for many children. Although no injuries have been reported I still believe this is a harmful world we live in for many reasons.

How can a singer who may have no experience with clothing have her own clothing line? Easy, she has the right connections. Many people bought the hoodies not because they thought it was safe or comfortable for their child but beacsue of the name. Due to her jackets, many kids could have been dangered and at the same time many other designers were cheated becaue someone bought hers and no theirs becasue of the name. Therfore, unfair treatment once again goes to the celebrities.

Unfair treatment?

Does a celebrity get the same punishment as a normal human being if he or she committed the same crime? Celebrities seem to get special treatment everywhere they go but can they get passed the law? There is some evidence that shows celebrities have received a lighter sentence and have been acquitted from trials that any other person would've been seen guilty. Reading the article from All academic research states how many not all celebrities receive special treatment.

Many jurors might believe they are voting fairly but the psychological theories have suggested that the celebrities influence the jurors in a great way. Celebrities have social power and authority making the jurors sort of vulnerable to them. Some things that have been put into place to prevent this is special courtrooms that help the celebrities be tried fairly.

My analysis of this is that no matter what the courts may do to try ans make it a fair and unjust trial there will always be a difference. the jurors are always going to be influenced and bias towards celebrities. What can we say? Maybe celebrities aren't human? Maybe they have this special influence on people? In my opinion they get too much special treatment.
