Kim Kardashian...love her, hate her, love to hate her? Personally, I think she's okay.  For me, her TV show happens to be what I call, "perfect zone out TV."(You now the kind, where you just want to relax and make your mind go numb?!)  In fact, I think it's great to see a girl with curves be represented in the media.  There's just one quick thing Kim....   TELL THE TRUTH!!   I was reading an article on thesuperficial.com where aparently Kim stated in a blog t...

I believe the mind is a beautiful thing and a precious entity to waste. Each and every day I strive to be as smart as I possibly can. I am by no means Albert Einstein. I am a reader, an artist, and a free thinker. If I do not know something, I do not pretend to know it, but I do look it up. I encourage my students to do the same. If they do not know the answer to something, I make them look for the answer themselves. I believe that the beauty of knowledge lies within the process of lea...

As I was channel surfing, a familiar face caught my eye on MTV. This wasn't just your every day celebrity face, it was the face of my high school friend Jenny's ex boyfriend, Matt. What in the hell was he doing on MTV? Then I remembered.... Matt was in a band called Relient K with my good friend Brian. My friends and I used to travel all over Canton to see their concerts....Now I was watching their MUSIC VIDEO?!?! Who would have known that they would end up making it big??? I am...

.....AND NOT ONE OF THEM FIT!!!! ARRRRGGGGG. I hate being short. I hate my ass!! My body is so unproportional. I swear if I was about 6 inches taller Victoria's Secret would hire me on the spot. I'm like that one commercial of theirs: all you see is curves. While some would consider me lucky to have an ample ass (not fat----just ample), I do not. Nothing ever fits. I don't know if it's the way the clothes are being made or I'm just a freak. Does anyone else have this problem>?????

Celebrities are asshats. They make so many people feel bad about themselves for not having enough of anything. They go out and buy these lavish homes, while others are on the street without a pot to piss in. They go out and buy zillions of dollars worth of clothes every season, while other people are lucky to have enough money to go to the thrift store. They spend thousands of dollars at the bar for a night of fun, when the working man and woman would just kill to have a night of fun. ...

O.C. actress Mischa Barton said in an interview that, "It's tought being thin and pretty because it's not as accepted in today's society." Oh how tough it must be to be young and rich in Hollywood! WHAT A SPOILED BITCH!

I turned on the TV this afternoon to find a new add for JC Penney. It revolved around Valentine's Day, having presents falling out of red balloons. The 80s hit 99 Luftballons ( english translation: 99 red balloons) by German singer Nena was playing in the back ground of the commercial. DID THEY NOT RESEARCH THE MEANING OF THE SONG?! Nena wrote the song as a nuclear war protest. Red balloons were used to signal nuclear attack....and now JC Penney is using it as a cute little catch phra...

Gwen Stefani is best known as the spunky platinum blonde frontwoman of the popular bubblegum ska band No Doubt. To get the role of Gene Harlow in the Academy Award Nominated Motion picture The Aviator, Gwen Stefani admits that she crash dieted to squeeze into the tiny constumes. First of all there were no multiple costumes...just one. Her total airtime in the movie was about 90 seconds. She had exactly one line....and she starved herself for this. Gwen Stefani at most (pre starvation ...
