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.

Bruce Jenner's Life after the Kardashians
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.
