The annual summer music festival Coachella in Indio, California has come and gone, and now we are left to marvel at the amazing music and gorgeous clothing that we saw all weekend from the numerous stars who showed up to either watch or perform. Both the Jenner sisters made their appearance on Friday night for performances from ACDC, Azealia Banks and Alabama Shakes. Other star appearances were from Katy Perry, Fergie and Justin Bieber, showing his face after his famous Comedy Central roast.
Lets talk about the biggest event of the night when Madonna basically made out with Drake during his set. Drake sang songs from his recently dropped mixtape and then brought Madonna on stage to help him finish his song "Madonna" and she also sang some of her original songs, including "Bitch I'm Madonna." It was during this song that she walked over to Drake sitting in a chair, tilted his head up toward her and kissed him smack on the lips! At first Drake seemed ok with the gesture but after awhile, she wouldn't stop and he proceeded to flail his arms everywhere and when she finally let go and walked off stage saying "Bitch I'm Madonna," Drake sat in the chair and wiped his mouth off looking completely repulsed by the events that had just taken place on stage.
Moments after getting off stage, Drake was seen saying "Oh sh*t, what the f**k just happened," and seeming completely dazed by the whole situation. So from the looks of things we were thinking that Drake absolutely hated his little encounter with Madonna's mouth, but he recently instagrammed a picture of him and Madonna mid kiss saying "Don't misinterpret my shock!! I got to make out with the queen Madonna and I feel [100] about that forever. Thank you @Madonna." Guess we were wrong after all!
Based on Drake's reactions during and after the kiss, he clearly looked repulsed, so why did he tweet and Instagram saying that he enjoyed it? It makes you wonder if it was something that his publicist or agents set up, I mean you couldn't have Drake being in a fight with the queen! It's really hard to fake facial expressions like the ones Drake showed on that stage and I don't think anyone blames him. I wouldn't want to be kissed like that in front of millions of people especially that unexpectedly and for that long I mean seriously it didn't even look like Madonna came up for any air!

Welcoming Baby Dillard
Last Monday after weeks of waiting, newlyweds Jill and Derick Dillard welcomed their newborn son Israel David into the world. Israel was a record breaker from the very beginning, being the longest baby to ever be born in that hospital. He was so long that the family had to run out and buy him new baby clothes right after he was born because he didn't fit into any of the ones they had purchased beforehand.
The Dillards made it evident that they were hoping for a home birth but instead, some complications caused them to have to deliver baby Israel in the hospital. Baby Israel was also born more than two weeks after his due date and you have to admire Jill Dillard for the strength and determination as she long awaited the birth of her young boy.
The arrival of Jill and Derick's baby boy will be aired on a 19 Kid's and Counting special in a few weeks. Not going to lie if it were me, I really wouldn't want the birth of my son on public television. I understand that the way she grew up, nothing in her life has ever been very private, but in my opinion the birth of your first child is more of a private, personal matter and it's not something that I would want to be completely broadcasted to the world.
The Duggar's lead a very interesting life with their long list of beliefs and every minute of their lives being documented for everyone to watch from some of their births to the engagement and courtships of others. It's such a crazy lifestyle sand it's really not one that I think I could live. It's bad enough that every minute of your life is shown to the world but the minute you do something wrong it's all over and the media is twisting and spinning it into something that they made up.
I really admire the Duggar children. This lifestyle wasn't something that they chose, it was a lifestyle that they were subjected to by their parents and the way these children are able to handle the craziness of the media along with have such a large family of 19 children is crazy. There's no way that I could ever put up with that type of lifestyle especially when I'm so privileged to have lived my life so far with the privacy that I have had.

A Change in Dance Moms
So how many of you have been glued to your seats every Tuesday night for the past 4 years watching the latest episode of Dance Moms? I know that used to be me! At first I began watching for the girls dancing and their passion for the sport but after a while, I became engulfed in all the mama drama that went on throughout the season. After girls began to leave the group is it when I realized that this show had changed so much and I had gotten hooked on unnecessary drama that meant nothing. The show has changed so much from when they first started to where they are now.
New moms, new girls and even the old cast members seem new. At some point the show changed from being all about the girls and dance to being all about the moms and who could cause the most drama with Ms. Abby and the other mothers. The 10-12 year old girls look like they're 15 with the amount of makeup that they wear on a daily basis and they're constantly being ridiculed by their dance teacher. The dance teacher is supposed to be someone who these little girls look up to, not someone who is constantly putting them down and choosing favorites. The fact that a lot of these little girls have lost their passion for dance because they're constantly showing up to dance class and being belittled while having to listen to all their mothers argue about their talent level just breaks my heart. It should be about dancing for them, not who can be the best to please their mothers and their teacher.
These moms have reached a whole new level. With the focus less on the girls and more on the moms, they've been causing fights, screaming and yelling at each other at dance competitions as well as throwing drinks at each other in public streets. The behavior that you have began to see in the show is completely outrageous and it's not something that I would want to have on public television for the whole entire world to see if I were them. So many people have shown so much support for this show, so the mothers and the producers have continued to add more drama and focus less on the girls unless they're crying or throwing a fit and to me thats not ok. This show was made to be about dancing and suddenly I'm no longer seeing that.

One Direction Becomes Two Directions?
As many most likely know, Zayn Malik has left the world famous boy band One Direction during their On the Road Again world tour due to a severe amount of stress. Just before he announced his split from the band, the media went crazy with allegations saying that Zayn was cheating on his fiancee Perrie Edwards of Little Mix. Since these accusations came forward, Zayn has denied every single one of them and chose to address the claims by tweeting, saying that he was in love with Perrie Edwards.
Unfortunately, Zayn decided to leave the band at not so good of a time. They're planning the release of their new album and on the track of their latest world tour. Lets just say this was not the best time in the world. But the rest of the band is dealing with Zayn's absence well. They still plan to complete their tour was well as continue with the release of their latest album. I'm glad that I was fortunate enough to have been able to go to one of their concerts before Zayn's falling out. So many people bought tickets for their upcoming performances and now they will only be able to see 4/5 boys in concert.
In their latest concert the boys came on stage late because they were in the middle of Skyping Zayn and they started the concert by introducing themselves as Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Harry Styles. Not calling themselves One Direction because they are missing the one person who made One Direction One Direction. The rest of the boys have been completely supportive of Zayn and his decision and the 5 remain close as Zayn expressed when he said that he had made four lifelong friends in Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam.
So who can we blame for this stress and madness? It looks to me that the press own this one. In the picture taken, Zayn is clearly with another girl, but of course to the media, there's no such thing as just friends. Of course it must mean that Zayn is cheating on Perrie and they published it, blowing everything out of proportion. I guess we just have to get used to it because thats what the media does best.
Well as for Zayn, a band spokesperson claims that he will be back for their April 4th performance in Dubai and that he just needed some time off. That's completely understandable and I really hope that Zayn is able to get better and be back out their performing with his fellow bandmates in Dubai.

Kid's Choice Awards
The KCA's are a Nickelodeon tradition where the people vote to choose their favorite TV actor and actress, favorite new singer and a ton of other awards. Growing up, I always liked to KCA's because I always knew who everyone was. I would always watch the Grammy's and the CMA's but I never knew every single person nominated or every winner and what they did. With the KCA's it's aimed more toward the teenage generation so it made them more fun to watch.
This year I wasn't able to watch the awards but when I went back and looked at the results online, they were pretty predictable. The Disney Channel hit show Austin and Ally won favorite TV show while the favorite family TV show went to one of my favorite shows Modern Family. Though I've never seen Austin and Ally, my sister really likes the show so i'm assuming its good. I was enthused that Modern Family won. Its such a freaking funny show and the stuff that happens on that show makes it unbelievably hard to sit through an entire episode and not laugh.
To finish up the TV/movie results I'll give them to you real quick. For favorite TV actor, it went to Ross Lynch who in my opinion completely deserved that win. Favorite TV actress went to his Austin and Ally costar Laura Marano. It looks like it was quite the night for Austin and Ally fans picking up three awards. Angelina Jolie came out on top for her role in Maleficent as the fan's favorite villain for the night. Of course Dance Mom's won the favorite reality show which I think is just a show full of drama upon drama now and not actually focusing on the girls in the show and their dance. The rest of the awards were filled with SpongeBob winning favorite cartoon, Hunger Games Mockingjay part 1 winning favorite movie, Diary of a Wimpy Kid series winning favorite book(and over Divergent I might add I mean come on those books rock!) One Direction won the best band even after Zayn's big announcement(for more info about that make sure you read my next blog!). The music portion of the awards was definitely as expected except for the fact that Sam Smith didn't win! After taking home 4 Grammy's he lost in the battle for favorite male singer to Nick Jonas. Now that one I didn't expect.

Dancing With the Stars Season 20
Guess what was just released!? You guessed it! They have officially announced the Season 20 Dancing With the Stars cast. Personally, I'm really excited for this season just because I know so many more of the stars in this season than previous. So you're probably dying to know who all will be competing in this ultimate dance off and I'm here to tell you.
Michael Sam and Rumor Willis are among the first on the list and I'm not very familiar with either of them but when I did a little digging, I learned that Michael Sam is a defensive end football player but is currently a free agent and not signed to any particular team. I also looked up Rumer Willis and I knew she looked really familiar when I first saw her picture but I had a hard time placing her until I read that she was a guest star in Pretty Little Liars that I was able to place her in Season 4 where she played her character Zoe.
Let's see who's next? That would be Suzanne Somers and Patti Labelle. I don't really know Suzanne Somers but I do know she is an actress although she's never been in anything that i've seen before. Patti is also an actress but she's most known for her singing. Which I have to admit isn't bad at all. I've never heard her sing before but when I looked it up it sounded super good and strong. Williow Shields who is also competing this season was one that I was extremely familiar with. I first got to know her from her performance as Primrose Everdeen in the Hunger Games saga and I have to admit she was a favorite character.
This is a first. The show was able to get Super Bowl model Charlotte Mckinney to perform on this season. I've never heard of her before but I feel like I'm the only one! This girl is all over the web and let me tell you she is super gorgeous! Riker Lynch is also going to be a performer. I only know him from his brother Ross on Austin and Ally but he's in a band with Ross and his other siblings called R5 and I know for a fact they are good. If you haven't heard them I would definitely recommend checking them out.
Im super pumped to watch Redfoo from LMFAO. I've always loved their music and they've always seemed like really chill dudes so I can't wait to watch him shake it on the dance floor this season. Alright the next performer is the one i'm most excited for and I really hope she takes home the mirror ball trophy. They've already had one gymnast, Shawn Johnson on the show, but now it's fellow gymnast Nastia Luikin's turn! I love her so much and I remember watching her in the Olympics and being completely amazed so I'm super excited to watch.
This season seems like its going to be an extremely good and competitive one and I really cannot wait for it to start so that I can watch!

Healthy is In
I don't know about other people but one of the hardest things for me is staying in shape and eating healthy. I'm so busy these days and I feel like I'm constantly running around. It's hard for me to find time to exercise and trying not to eat out is a major straggle because who doesn't think fast food is good? It may taste good but it's so bad for me and yet I continue to eat it. One of my goals for this year that I made to myself was to get myself in shape and start to eat healthier.
I've began working with a personal trainer to get myself into the routine of exercising on a daily basis and working to find time to fit that in. She's given me the opportunity and exposure to workouts that I enjoy doing and help me work up a pretty good sweat. The harder aspect of being healthier is probably the eating. When I sit down and I have the option of eating a brownie and eating a salad it's sooo hard to not pick up that brownie and just shove it in my mouth. Let me tell you, it takes an enormous amount of self control to be able to tell yourself you don't need something even when you want it so bad.
Keeping a food log has really helped me with that because it helps me track all that I'm eating in a day and what my calorie intake is. Since i've been doing this, I've been eating healthier and I've been feeling so much better about myself. I feel more confident in my body and my body in general feels better. I used to get horrible migraines and I was able to equate them to my diet and since I've put in the effort to change my diet, my migraines have been less frequent and less painful.
I definitely still have a long long way to go before i'm the way I hope to be for the summer but I'm slowly but surely getting there. If anyone if feel bad about their body or their lifestyle I definitely encourage them to do something about it! It's a lot of hard work and takes a lot of psychological strength but in the long run, you feel so much better about yourself when you're able to look back at how far you've come and what you've been able to do.

Teen Mom is Back!
Many people have followed MTV over the years as they have released Teen Mom, Teen Mom 2 and now a Teen Mom 3. What people weren't expecting was for the unexpected cancellation of Teen Mom. I guess the ratings and viewers were just too much to take because the show is going to come back with a premiere for the new season coming up in the near future.
So I took the time to watch the trailer for this new season and might I say a ton has happened to these girls in the time from the last episode to this new season now. I mean Macy broke up with Kyle, the sweet loving guy the fans adored and is now dating and pregnant with a bearded kind of creepy looking guy named Taylor who she seems to be dating.
Everyone remembers how freaking crazy Amber was on the show over the years with her drug abuse and her unhealthy relationship with her then boyfriend Gary. But now Gary is dating a new girl and they're pregnant and Amber just got out of jail! I guess we all kind of figured she would end up there at some point and I just hope that she can learn from the time she spent in prison and become a better mom to her daughter and hopefully not end up back in jail.
I remember watching a season of Teen Mom for the first time and watching Catelynn and Tyler and just being absolutely in love with their relationship. It's completely obvious that they are in love and deserve to be with one another. Out of all the teen parents on the show, they were the only couple to stay together and I completely respect and look up to their courageous decision to put their daughter up for adoption because they wanted her to have a better life than what they could give her. It takes so much strength to be able to do that and I look up to that.
Then theres Farrah. Farrah was always a wildcard as I remember from watching the show. She was constantly fighting with her mom and moving away and I just remember thinking that things couldn't get more crazy. Obviously I was completely wrong because shortly after the show ended I remember seeing something on the news about Farrah. After the show ended she got A TON of plastic surgery and looks super artificial now and she also became a porn star making all these sex tapes and sex toys from her own line. That's just insane to me and I can't even imagine what it would be like to be her daughter one day when she decides to Google her mom. Anyways, so the show wasn't gonna allow Farrah back on because they felt she was a bad influence but I guess they changed their minds because she was suddenly on the preview! I just look forward to watching this new season and seeing what all this is about!

Celebrities Give Back
I think that the world needs more celebrities like Taylor Swift in the world. A couple days ago, she showed up at a local news station just to surprise a fan who had been posting on Tumblr about all the fans awaiting her arrival. She got to the station and asked her crew to hunt down this fan on Tumblr just so that she could meet her. It would be so cool if more celebrities out there put in the time and effort for their fans like Taylor Swift does. Instead you end up seeing Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus who show themselves through social media doing drugs and partying.
It's so good to see celebrities that are able to be such good role models for their fans. Taylor Swift helps her super fans out by helping and paying off their student loans! Why can't every celebrity be like that? I thinks it's so positive to have celebrities who are encouraging and a good role model for all of their fans. I hate seeing the celebrities who let their fame get to them and turn into something that most would equate to a wild partier.
It's especially hard to watch these celebrities waste what they have for all the partying and drugs and alcohol that are so present in the celebrity world these days. I mean in the beginning, Amanda Bynes started out as the cute innocent girl who played the main role in the famous film She's the Man and then suddenly the next thing we know she was addicted to drugs and was in and out of rehab. Seeing all her crazy tweets on Twitter and hearing all the stories about getting arrested, it makes me hurt to see what the fame and the fortune has done to some of these people.
I mean another example would be Miley Cyrus. I remember watching Hannah Montana and looking up to the girl who played Miley Stewart as I grew up. But now this popstar is posting nude pictures on Instagram and doing drugs. I mean even her new music is way far off from the old Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds. Its been hard to see everything that Miley Cyrus has gone through and seeing the person that she has turned into.
Although many celebrities are partying it up and getting addicted to drugs, it's great to know that there are some celebrities who haven't let the intensity of their fame affect their character and lifestyle.

I hate seeing the celebrities who let their fame get to them and turn into something that most would equate to a wild partier.
It's especially hard to watch these celebrities waste what they have for all the partying and drugs and alcohol that are so present in the celebrity world these days. I mean in the beginning, Amanda Bynes started out as the cute innocent girl who played the main role in the famous film She's the Man and then suddenly the next thing we know she was addicted to drugs and was in and out of rehab. Seeing all her crazy tweets on Twitter and hearing all the stories about getting arrested, it makes me hurt to see what the fame and the fortune has done to some of these people.
I mean another example would be Miley Cyrus. I remember watching Hannah Montana and looking up to the girl who played Miley Stewart as I grew up. But now this popstar is posting nude pictures on Instagram and doing drugs. I mean even her new music is way far off from the old Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds. Its been hard to see everything that Miley Cyrus has gone through and seeing the person that she has turned into.
Although many celebrities are partying it up and getting addicted to drugs, it's great to know that there are some celebrities who haven't let the intensity of their fame affect their character and lifestyle.

Mansion at 17?
It's pretty crazy the amount of money many celebrity children have access to these days. I'm 17 years old and living at home and working on schoolwork on a Sunday night while Kylie Jenner is going to award shows every Sunday and now buying her own mansion and moving out at age 17. I desperately wish that I could afford a $2.7 million dollar mansion right now! It's just really crazy to think how different of a world all these kids grow up in than me. I'm pretty sure North West has outfits that cost more money than my entire wardrobe. Kendall Jenner is a freaking model at age 17 and i'm struggling to take good school pictures!
The atmosphere that these kids get exposed to at such a young age is so much different. I get up everyday and go to school while most Hollywood teens have a tutor or are home schooled. When I turned 16 I got a Ford Edge for my first car while amazingly all these kids are getting Bentleys. I wish my parents had enough money to buy me a Bentley on command! The crazy thing is that Kylie Jenner has enough money to purchase the 2.7 million dollar house ON HER OWN. She has two clothing lines, a hair line as well as her own earnings from their family show Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Wouldn't that just be a fun job to have. Get filmed to make money.
And how cool would it be to be able to live in a gated community on your own but only a block away from two of your sisters? I would freaking love that! I can't even imagine what it would be like to live the way she does because it just seems so farfetched and imaginary. I mean what 17 year old could afford a mansion for themselves when I can barely afford to get my nails done! I think that I'm lucky to be able to grow up and live the way I live. I mean I can't say I have paparazzi camped out on my lawn trying to take pictures of me at my worst and make up stories with me. I think I tend to take my privacy for granted and I wish for this big magnificent lifestyle when in reality I feel as though it's really not as great as it can seem.

American Sniper Murder Trial
I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to have someone to love right beside you and the next minute they're gone forever. In light of the recent movie, American Sniper, many people have learned about who most say is the United States best sniper's tragic death. Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield after they left the military took a liking to helping fellow ex military members to cope with the repercussions of being on the battlefield. Thats exactly what they were doing the morning they were killed.
The two had been asked to help fellow veteran Eddie Ray Routh, but the help session ended with two people dead and one in jail. Finally, Eddie's trial is here and he is finally going to be brought to justice. The whole situation makes me so sick. Whether you're mentally ill or not how can you just brutally murder to innocent people? Especially two who are trying to help you? I guess I can't really give much of an opinion since i've never been in the military and i've never felt the heavy burden of the repercussions but it still just makes my heart heavy to think of Chris Kyle's family who will never get to see their dad/husband again.
Chris's wife Taya is taking an active role in the trial of her husband's killer and she says that she won't sleep until she knows that her husband's murderer is put away for good. You can't even begin to imagine what Taya is going through right now. To lose someone you love who you worried about for years and she finally had him back home safe, only to have him taken from her in the least likely place. It just makes me want this awful man brought to justice even more.
Reports about the whole scene were leaked as well as a video of Eddie Ray Routh admitting to using pot the morning of the murders and saying that he knows exactly what he did and that it was wrong but he did it because they weren't talking to him. How do you kill two people because they weren't talking to you and then knowing what you did was wrong but being totally okay with it? I mean he nonchalantly left the scene of the crime and drove Chris Kyle's truck to his uncle's house where he confessed to his uncle.
I can only hope that this trial goes quickly and seamlessly and that the jury is able to make the right decision based on the amount of evidence that is available to them.

Did a Millionaire Really Get Away with 3 Murders?
Robert Durst is an extremely wealthy millionaire from New York City. Since childhood his life has been anything but normal. His own mother plunged from the roof of their family's home when Robert was only 7 years old and in 1982 his first wife disappeared. His luck seemed to be continuously non existent when a close friend was murdered execution style in 2000 and then he killed his own neighbor in 2001. Suspicion and guilt seems to have followed Robert over the years. So how is this man not in jail?
When Roberts mother jumped off their roof, the police ruled her death an accident but Robert along with many others believe that her death was a suicide. I mean how do you just fall off of a roof that their was no point in you being on in the first place. After growing up with a rough child as his dad frequently wasn't home after their mother's death Durst married Kathie McCormack in 1973. The two seemed to have a pretty complicated relationship as Robert seemed to be the one completely in charge. I don't know how Kathie spent all those years without a voice. Robert even forced her to have an abortion because he didn't want kids. First of all, who does that? and second of all why the hell did Kathie not speak up?
Things get extremely suspicious after that if you ask me. Robert and Kathie got in a fight and then Robert dropped her off at the train station to visit friends in Manhattan but then he DIDN'T call the cops for 4 days because he didn't want them to look into their marriage!
Eventually the police ran out of evidence for them to continue to investigate Robert, but eventually, Robert showed up once again. In 2000 his good friend was found shot execution style in her home and might I add she was a key witness in Kathie's case. Unfortunately the police questioned Robert, but didn't charge him. Murder charge number 2 escaped.
After all the drama, Durst moved to Galveston where he dressed up as a woman to disguise himself. His neighbor was found dismembered and floating in a bay and when the cops found Robert who had left bloodstains and a lot of physical evidence in his apartment said he had shot his neighbor in self defense and disposed of the body in panic. Okay either this guy just has super bad luck or he's really good at lying because either way he was found not guilty and murder charge number 3 was escaped.

Suspicions have recently been confirmed about Bruce Jenner's change to a woman. For weeks we've seen pictures of Bruce Jenner in tabloids with red nail polish and long hair and now the tabloids are saying that he's officially planning to undergo a gender change as well as be apart of a TV show that will document every aspect of his change. Just recently though, Bruce Jenner got into a fatal car accident on the highway. He was driving when he rear ended a Lexus, causing the Lexus to rear end a Prius in front of it. The Prius ended up spinning across the road into oncoming traffic and the driver of the Lexus was killed. 5 other people were injured in the car accident.
Bruce Jenner is trying to do everything that he can in order to help out the families that have been affected and he states that he is being fully cooperative in the situation. It must be extremely hard to have to go through something like this. Bruce was just getting through everything with his gender change and now he caused this car accident that is all over the news. No part of Bruce's life is private anymore, so when something like this happens in his life and everyone is all over it.
So back to Bruce's gender change, the announcement didn't come as much of a shock to his family. Friends said that it had seemed for years as though Bruce just never felt like himself in his own skin. So when he finally came out, his friends and family were overjoyed to hear that he was finally coming to terms with himself. Even his daughters are in full support of him and what he's decided to do. Kim, Khloe and Kourtney all said that they waited to see how their mother would react and how she felt about the situation with their father and once they were sure that he had her approval, they were in complete support of their fathers decision and what he intended to do with his life.
I think what Bruce is doing with his life is great. The fact that he is taking control of everything and changing his life for the better so that he can feel more comfortable in his own skin. He's changing his life for the better and I hope that once everything passes and is complete he is able to live a happier and easier life as a woman than he has been able to.

2015 Grammy Awards
Millions watched last night as the Grammy's showcased numerous artists and their successes this past year in the 57th annual Grammy awards. If you watched the show then you would know that this night totally belonged to Sam Smith who took home 4 Grammy's last night, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album. Though Sam has proved to have an extremely successful year, he isn't the only one. Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, and Roseanne Cash all took home three awards last night as well as Beck's latest album Morning Phase which won Album of the Year.
So who remembers a couple years ago in 2009 when Kanye West ran on stage when Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video of the Year over Beyonce at the VMA's? He congratulated Taylor and told her he was happy for her and then proceeded to tell the audience that he felt that Beyonce had the best video of all time, basically saying that Taylor didn't deserve the award. Well folks, lets just say that almost happened once again last night. When Beck was announced Album of the Year for his new album Morning Phase which let me just say I have never heard of neither Beck nor Morning Phase in my life, was announced as the winner of the Grammy, Kanye rushed up to the stage once Beck began talking but immediately upon taking the stage, thought better of himself and sat down. Good for Kanye for not ruining yet another awards show.
Yet immediately after the show was over, Kanye trashed Beck in the media saying that Beyonce should have won the album of the year and Beck didn't deserve it. But complete props to Beck because right after he was trashed by Kanye, he came out in the media and agreed with Kanye saying that he absolutely thought that Beyonce was going to win and although West said those things about him, he still respected him and thought he was a total genius. Beck went on to say that he aspires to do what Kanye does because after all, how many records has that guy put out in the last 5 years?
So lets just continue down the path of talking about Beck shall we? I have never ever heard of the singer Beck or his infamous Album of the Year ever and now all of a sudden he's beating out both Beyonce and Sam Smith for a Grammy? Maybe I should take some time to go listen to this album because it better be good if it was able to beat Beyonce and Sam.

Finally, A Bachelorette Success Story
Finally, we have a very rare Bachelor success story. The Bachelorette star Desiree Hartstock left Sean Lowe's season of the Bachelor heartbroken right after hometown dates but returned for the next season of the Bachelorette to find love on her own. That is where she met the love of her life, Chris Siegfried, who after 2 long years is now her husband. On January 18th, the couple finally tied the knot. They met on Hartstock's season and continued their romance throughout the season which ended in August 2013 with a proposal from Siegfried.
To anyone who knows the Bachelor or has read my previous posts knows how low the success rate tends to be with couples who get engaged on the show. Sure, you get the few success stories but with Desiree and Chris, i'll admit, I was skeptical at first. If you watched her season, you know that she was dead set on Brooks Forrester until he left the show and broke her heart, so it had me wondering if Chris was nothing but a rebound. I remember sitting on my phone always getting on Desiree or Chris's Tnstagram or Twitter to see if they were still together.
Obviously they made it through and might I just say, props to them for waiting it out to make sure that marriage to one another was indeed what they wanted. They waited a long two years before they finally tied the knot, unlike most Bachelor and Bachelorette couples who start planning right away.
If anyone watched Desiree and Chris on the Bachelorette, you would have known that they were meant to be together. I remember watching the beginning of the season and seeing Desiree fall head over heels for Brooks and I just knew that they didn't feel good for one another, but after Brooks left and she and Chris started getting serious, I could tell they were going to get married. They were that couple who seemed completely head over heels for one another.
So after the disappointment of having Andi and Josh split, it was nice to see Des and Chris so happy and in love and finally tie the knot. In the end, thats what the whole show is really about. We want to see the success stories and the real love, not all the unnecessary dumb drama that seems to be happening these days on the show.

Superbrawl Sunday
If anyone watched the Superbowl tonight, you would know that it was definitely one to remember. First of all both teams that got in didn't really show much class in how they got to the Superbowl in the first place. Immediately after the games were played if you recall, there were allegations made against the New England Patriots for deflating the game ball before the start of the game and the Seattle Seahawks are just a dirty team. They lead the NFL for penalties with a whopping 130 this season and thats not counting all the penalties that happened tonight.
The game was an incredibly close game. It was pretty intense at my house and no one in my family is even a Seahawks nor a Patriots fan. The biggest craziness of this game would have to be the last 2 minutes. The Patriots scored, putting themselves in the lead and all of a sudden the Seahawks were at the goal line with a strong chance to score. Instead of running the ball, they made the choice to pass it which was quickly and swiftly intercepted by a Patriots player. The game should have ended right there but oh no it got better.
The Seahawks players proceeded to throw some punches and go after the Patriots players. Being pro football players you couldn't expect the Patriots players to just sit back and take it so of course they fought right back and there ladies and gentlemen it turned into a full on Superbrawl 2015.
So i watched the Superbowl at my aunt and uncle's house with them, my mom, dad, sister and brother and let me just say, my house erupted when the last 2 minutes took place. It was unbelievable to see everyone's reactions and as for everything going on on the field, it got so wild and crazy that I have expected someone to leap from the stands and join in on the fighting on the field.
I don't think many players showed great character in the game tonight, and I think it reflected kind of poorly on the NFL. You expect these high payed players to be pretty composed when it comes to taking the field and instead they started throwing punches at one another the minute the game didn't go the way they wanted it to. If you ask me I believe that the NFL needs to reevaluate the way things are going.

Bachelorette Power Couple Split for Good
Millions watched as Andi Dorfman went through her journey as ABC's Bachelorette. They watched her meet 25 wonderful men and slowly work her way to "the one." They watched her and fiancee Josh Murray celebrate together when they were finally able to go in public together and they watched as the couple strutted the red carpet for the season 20 Bachelor premiere.
Sadly, those millions of people were completely shocked when the couple announced the split just weeks after showing up to the premiere happy as can be and celebrating their 6 month anniversary. I must say, I was one of those millions who sadly stared at their computer screen as they read the top headline on E online stating that the couple had announced their mutual split. I had for sure thought that Andi and Josh would be another success story for the famous television show.
I know right from the start that I thought Andi would pick Josh in the end. From the moment Josh stepped out of the limo, you could see the chemistry between them and the way they acted with each other was just like one of those fun relationships that wasn't being completely filmed for national television. I am glad to say that the split was anything but messy. The couple both tweeted saying that this was the best for them at the moment and they wished each other the best and did not regret a single thing about their relationship.
Josh's mom also made a public statement on Facebook saying that she felt that although their family will greatly miss Andi, she's glad that they were able to realize it wasn't meant to be before they got married and especially before they brought kids into the mix. I have to say I completely agree with her. Although I'm upset that they decided to end it, I'm glad they were able to see that they just weren't right for each other at the moment before they got married or had kids were it would have been a lot more complicated.
They never did tell anyone why they ended it. They just gave the typical explanation of it just didn't feel right and they ended it, so ladies, Josh Murray is back on the market and to all you bachelors out there, Andi Dorfman is now single once again. Although they weren't one of the few success stories, they will forever be remembered to me as one of the cutest couples I've seen on the show

Taken 3 Review
People watched and waited, and waited some more for the new Taken 3 movie to come out and it finally has! Like most of America, I went and watched it the night of it’s premiere, January 9th. All is I can say is wow. The cast and crew of the Taken series has wowed us once again. I was on the edge of my seat for almost the entirety of the movie. It was as if the action never stopped.
I have to admit I was a tad surprised at the storyline. Because I didn’t watch the trailer beforehand, I was expecting another kidnapping followed by the enduring fight to find the missing person, but instead I was surprised with the unlikely surprise of a murder mystery movie. For some people, I know it was a downer compared to the disappearances in the 1st two movies, but for me I loved it! I enjoyed it so much because I absolutely love watching murder mysteries. I love being able to try and find out who the murderer is before the characters in the movie do. Although some movies make it obvious who the killer was from the very beginning, I never felt that way in this movie. I was constantly being thrown through twists and turns. When I thought I knew who the killer was, I was thrown a total curveball and it wasn’t who I thought it was.
The movie has the majority of the same characters who have been in the last two but they did do something interesting that I’m not so sure how I feel about it. You saw a lot more of Stewart throughout the movie and you got to know more about him, but they changed the actor on us! In the first two movies, you see Stewart as older man with grey hair...basically he’s a lot older than Lennie. In the third movie though it’s as though Stewart went through a time warp. All of a sudden in the third movie he becomes a younger darker haired man. If they really did have to change the character, couldn’t they have at least gone with someone who was around the same age or looked similar. When I first saw him, I had thought that Lennie had gotten married a third time he looked that different. Aside from Stewart’s character, I still loved the movie a ton! It’s a movie that definitely recommend to everyone to go see!

The Craziness of The Bachelor
If anyone has been watching TV recently, then you probably
know about the new season of The Bachelor featuring the small town farmer Chris
Soules. They left the season premiere with an ultimate cliffhanger. Will
Kimberly be allowed to return to the show? I was stunned when she approached
Chris and told him that she wants another chance, then I was even more baffled
when Chris let her back on the show! How is that at all fair to the other girls
who actually did receive roses? In my opinion, her not talking to Chris all
night is her own fault. If she wanted to talk to him she could have, and she
had all night to do it. It’s not as though Chris was hiding from her.
So that’s
how the episode kicked off for me, and then if proceeded with the group date.
If you watched you saw the two girls, Jillian and Megan decide to break into
Chris’s house and go crazy. Once again I couldn’t believe it! Chris had invited
them on a pool party date and there they were breaking into his house and going
through his stuff. But, to no avail the girls planned to do their little
activity everyday. Of course the show must go on, so after the pool party they
were all brought downtown where Chris presented them with the opportunity to do
tractor races down the streets of Downtown LA. Does that sound like fun or
what?
After
the winner was revealed and she and Chris had a little alone time, and when
Chris came back he revealed that the rest of the night would be spent as a one
on one date with the lovely Mackenzie! Mackenzie spent quite a lot of time
talking about aliens and big noses which if you ask me is a liiitttlleee weird
for a first date, and I guess Chris thought so as well. Finally, she mentioned
her having a child and that was something that Chris liked. The rest of the
date went of smoothly with lots of lip locking.
Okay
what happened next really irritated me. Mackenzie got back to the house and
would not stop telling the girls how many times she kissed Chris throughout the
night. Like she would not stop. I understand if you feel the need to talk about
it once or twice but there comes a time where no one wants to hear it anymore,
and I think the other girls in the house would know what I’m talking about.
Anyways, the date card went to Megan who took an amazing helicopter ride over
the Grand Canyon that ended with Chris seeing a future with her.
Later
there is yet another date card handed out with another group date that turns
into them playing paintball against a bunch of zombies (kinda weird right?)
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves though and Chris was able to see the real
side of some of the girls in the group. (cough cough Britt). The night ended
with the rose ceremony where Chris had to send home a total of 4 girls including
drunken Jordan and Tara as well as Alissa and Kimberly who’s second chance wasn’t
so good I guess.
