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.

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.
