Don’t Look to LeAnn Rimes for Advice

“I didn’t have the tools to know how to do it the right way, how to let go the right way. I’d never been taught that … I have the strength [now] but I didn’t at the time… So, it got really messy, but I have learned a lot from that. And I’m not glad it happened, but I know why it did.”

I’m sorry. I don’t believe in justifications for cheating, and I definitely don’t believe the reasons that LeAnn Rimes is giving. For someone that claims that she is trying to put all of this behind her, you would think that she would stop talking to the press about this. Just because you weren’t taught not to cheat doesn’t mean you’re in the clear with what you did. There’s no book for this stuff and there’s no course. It’s simple ethics.

And since this is ethics, I’m going to dedicate this example to my professor.

“Is it still considered wrong to kick puppies if I wasn’t taught not to?”

Yes, yes it is.

Thanks Seattle University!

It’s Gary Time

Teen Mom star Gary Shirley is taking advantage of his new found fame and creating a clothing brand out of it. The line of t-shirts called “Gary Time” will each have a printed clock on them for the logo (Flava Flav?) Oh my goodness… raise your hand if you are completely over reality television stars.

GTFO Please

“Not trying to be arrogant, but if I walked down the street and a girl saw me, she might take a look back because maybe I’m good-looking, right?” – Justin Bieber on his appeal with women ie) young tweens in Vanity Fair

Real Teens of Hollywood

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcDMc3v55kE&feature=player_embedded]

E! Entertainment has been working on a new show about celebrity offspring trying to make it in the entertainment business. The trailer-reel above is the most painful thing I have had to watch all week. These kids have the biggest egos and have the worst lines. I know this is supposed to be a “reality” show, but something tells me that the poor acting is one indicator that it is not. The show features basketball star Doug Christie’s daughter who seems like a menace and Brian McKnight’s douche-baggy son. I just heard this morning though that his son “Brian McKnight Jr.” has pulled out of the show due to unwanted advances from another cast member. No word yet on if the show will have to start over on filming or resume. I hope they just cancel it.

You don’t deserve to be using social media

Just because we can say whatever we want on the internet doesn’t mean we always should.

Let’s not forget that we also don’t want to grow up to be a generation where we depend on the internet for absolutely everything. There are still things we can do via phone or oh my god! in person. Begin by keeping things to yourself. Off the top of my head, things I find annoying regarding Facebook status’s… like that chain tonight about posting the color of your bra in your to spread cancer awareness. NO. We are aware. What are we ten? Do we really need to be “tricking the boys?” I can’t believe I received three messages about this in my inbox. I doubt the guys are spending more than ten seconds wondering why girls have names of colors in their status. Girls – are you really getting any satisfaction out of this? The answer is no. Time to move on.

The Frisky compiled a list today of 13 misuses occurring on Facebook and Twitter. Something we should all read yeah?

Forks becomes Twilight Town

Next year, new restraurant, Volterra, will open  in Forks, WA. (Really?)

Owners Annette and Tim Root told The Peninsula Daily News it will be a family restaurant, and they have applied for a liquor license.

The city of Forks already has a venue called the Twilight Lounge in which they host concerts and other events for fans in the city.

The Chamber of Commerce says thousands of visitors come asking questions, such as whether it’s safe to go camping with the vampire problems in the area.

AND I’m over this post already.

Balloon Boy Raps

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmlBPAY90MM&feature=player_embedded]

Who knew such a talented family?

I’m really glad they made a song about… “pussification.” nice.

At least the balloon boy hoax worked out better than this one…and I’m really embarrassed for this family. This video is awful.
