Going Green!!!

Celebrities really do care!!!! As we celebrated, Earth Day this past week we see in the news how many people took advantage of the day and started networks to spread the word about staying green. On the website Earth Day Network, it shows how many people took action in a bunch of different ways. Well celebrities also decided to help our earth on this day. OK Magazine writes about how many celebrities hosted Earth Day parties to help raise money and to be eco friendly. Guests like Matthew McConaughey, Shawn Johnson and David Spade all went to The Malibu Lumber Yard a high class eco-friendly therapy center. Also, at a place called Kitson, Maria Menounos hosted a launch party for a new eco-chic line of clothing. (image taken from here)

In addition, as another blogger wrote about in his blog called, Global Warming, the price is right a very famous game show also celebrated Earth Day by making all its prizes eco-friendly. This sets a good example for many people and hopefully with the help of celebrities people will help take care of our environment.

Celebrity Role-Models

Celebrities are definitely the number one role models out there, but what happens when you have little children following your every move? Zac Efron is a teenage superstar who sings and acts but is most famous for his role in High School Musical. Through High School Musical he has attracted many fans to follow him starting with children as old as 5 going up to 30 yr old girls. Recently, he was a star in the movie 17 Again where he played a father who went back in time and tries to fix his marriage. He states in an interview with ShowBiz that he has to watch out what movie roles he accepts because children do look up to him. I don’t believe he has done that. (image from here)

My little sister is 6 and if you walk into her room there are pictures of Zac Efron everywhere. She is like his number one fan so of course when this movie came out she was dying to see it. The day it came out she begged and begged me to take her, so I did. She wore her High School Musical shirt and was so excited to see Zac in the movie. As the movie started, I figured that it was just another kid’s movie but boy was I wrong. It started off looking and sounding like High School Musical but as it continued it turned into such an inappropriate movie for my sister. There were scenes where Zac would make out with different girls and also scenes where they talked about condom use and many other sexual related topics. I felt that movie was advertised to many of the young children and it was definitely not appropriate for them. The movie theatre was actually full of kids and walking out many parents were a little disturbed. (image from here)

The Spokesman Review also critics the movie and explains how it did use sex terms that does not relate to children but relates to teens. As a celebrity, Zac Efron knows that his following is mainly young girls and I believe that he should have thought about his role in the movie and the effect it would have on the children watching it.

Break-Ups

I’m pretty sure that everyone has had their hearts broken once in their life but are celebrities immune to this? Definitely not, recently we have heard the rumors of a split between Lindsey Lohan and her girlfriend Samantha Rohen and personally, it seems like Lindsey’s heart is definitely broken. (image from here) Recently, Lindsey had an interview with Ellen DeGeneres where she poured her heart out and explained that she is still in love with Samantha. So how do celebrities get over a breakup? Probably the same way we do. Listed below are some ways to get over a breakup from Ivillage:

• Get it all out



• Focus on today



• Think positively



• Don't Stay Bitter



• Don't Lose Faith



• Have No Fear



• Do Something New



• Find some words of wisdom -- and live by them

In my opinion, breakups are hard but what can you do they happen all you can do is follow the list above and have some chocolate and you will be back to normal.{image from here}

Divorce!!! Are you Next??

We all have issues when it comes to relationships. Some people may get together and stay married for their whole life while it only takes some people 6 months to realize that it was a mistake. Divorce can be hard on the whole family whether you are a normal human being or if you’re rich and famous. Recently in the news, there have been rumors that Mel Gibson’s wife is leaving him after 28 years. TMZ explains how the couple has 7 children and they are all coping with the divorce. A blogger whose page title is Celebrity Gossip also wrote about the current rumors and how the Gibson family is being affected. (image taken from here)

A fellow classmate writes about divorces in her weekly blog called “Divorce Within the Family.” She explains the ups and downs of divorce and how many families cope during this time. Also, she talks about legal issues that occur after a divorce like custody and the necessary arrangement of money. This is a serious issue; divorce is definitely taking over most marriage couples.
