Patriots Finally Getting It

            First off, I just want to say I called this when the Patriots were playing the Seahawks in the Super Bowl.  I never liked them because they’ve always been a bunch of cheaters.  I didn’t care for either team during the Super Bowl but I just really didn’t want the Patriots to win.  I’m happy there is some punishment but if it were me, I’d be a little more severe.

            

            If you didn’t hear, the Patriots were caught deflating the football from this last season, which is also known as cheating.  They’ve been caught before in previous seasons for videotaping the New York Jets’ defensive coaches’ signal back in 2007, which is not allowed.  The National Football League (NFL) fined the Patriots coach, Bill Belichick, and the Patriots team.  There were other rumors about them videotaping other teams like the St. Louis Rams.  Huh, doesn’t seem like they should be trusted does it?  But to my disbelief, they got to continue on. 

            

           It’s been a while since they were last caught.  I guess I can’t say they were definitely cheating but once a cheater, always a cheater.  That’s why they were recently caught again!  Luckily it wasn’t videotaping again.  This time they were deflating the football for the games!  Sweet!

            

          The chairman and CEO of the Patriots, Robert Kraft, obviously thinks the punishment was too severe.  How is it too severe if they’ve been caught cheating before?  Especially since they’ve done it again.  Obviously he is biased on the matter but I think he just looks idiotic, but I’m sure others would disagree. 

Despite the fact that I don’t like the Patriots, there are definitely people looking out for them.  Other players and celebrities were sticking up for Brady and the fans seem genuinely disappointed rather than ashamed.  Some think there was enough proof like Donald Trump, but I think its preeeetty certain of what was going on.  

Miley Cyrus: Pro or Against?

           We ALL know of Miley Cyrus and the actions she takes, and obviously she is aware too, but is it that bad?  Yes, Miley dances on a hotdog in some interesting leotards and I don’t really get the point, but it isn’t like she’s encouraging that behavior.  It’s hard because people tend to look up to celebrities and mimic their actions, but Miley DOES encourage her smilers to be individual and true to themselves.  It’s a good message to give to the fans!  She’s just encouraging people to be individual and not care, which is really important. A

            

            She strongly supports good causes and peoples’ choices too.  She has shown immense support for Bruce Jenner along with the LGBT community.  Remember when she brought the homeless man as her date for the VMA’s?  I think we all were confused because she was so supportive, but all was quiet for a little while after, leaving us wondering what was behind that story.  All of me

 Now she’s launched the Happy Hippie Foundation, a charity foundation to benefit LGBT, homelessness, and at-risk youth.  She announced it during a backyard concert featuring various artists like Joan Jett and Laura Jane Grace. Alabama and Alaska

With Miley radiating with positive vibes, it makes you question your opinion of her, or at least I do.  I do think she is a little wild and rambunctious.  I do give her credit for trying to create change in the world and trying to make equality happen among the people.  She’s giving everyone a chance and we should give her a chance to be herself.  It’s my opinion and I speak for myself, but you can pick your side of the story.  Are you pro Miley or against her? Ask me not 

Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge

            We’ve all seen pictures of Kylie Jenner before the lip enhancement and after.  I don’t know if she just really knows how to use a lip pencil, or if she took to cosmetic surgery, or whatever.  Either way it’s become a really hot topic to discuss.  She’s address the discussion before and politely asked for it to stop, but that never works. 

            It’s been a consistent topic of discussion but it tends to die down for a while, or at least until she posts a new selfie.  The people of the internet have taken a new direction of talk about the lips.  The #KylieJennerChallenge.  Yes, it’s been very popular on twitter and it was briefly trending on twitter for, let’s say, a week.  It didn’t last as long as it could’ve I guess but long enough to buzz.  People who attempted the challenge would get a small cup, whether it was a shot class, bottle, or anything with a small rim, but you could still fit your mouth in.  You then suck up all the air in the container like a vacuum and give it a little while.  Then, you remove your mouth from the container and congratulations!  You’re lips are swollen and look relatively similar to Kylie’s!!  People would post pictures or their reaction once they removed the container, and that is what got it popular.  For a while.

            The aftermath was not as funny.  The swelling would of course go down but some would find a bruised ring around their mouth and very likely would experience pain.  Who would want to take the pain and do that?  Unfortunately since it got around, many teens, some younger than Kylie who is only 17, have taken to the challenge?  Who knows what happens if you leave it too long or if it doesn’t go away??  It’s gross and terrible. 

            Kylie of course, has not taken part in the challenge or encouraged it by any means.  She’s been smart to not address it.  Being as famous as she is to create the look people are copying, it could help the “challenge” die down a little.

            I’ll spare you the pictures because it’s gross a semi horrifying, but be aware, it does more harm than good.

The Bruce Jenner Interview

            *I want to note that I will be addressing Bruce as “she” or “her” in this post because that’s who she is.

I’m pretty sure I’ve written about Bruce Jenner before but I wanted to address the interview she had with Diane Sawyer.  This is a huge step for someone to speak out about something so personal and be in the situation she is in.  Being in the spotlight all your life is unimaginable and having to deal with everyone almost constantly watching you and judging you is something I never hope to experience.  At one point or another I think everyone wishes at least once to be famous and some don’t ever lose that feeling.  When you see things like this happening ,that is the deal breaker for me.

            

           In this interview with Diane Sawyer, Bruce speaks out about being a woman.  She talks of how her family reacted, with step child Kim Kardashian being the most open-minded.  All of her kids have been supportive through this time.  I think the world was really intrigued by the interview, because it’s not something everyone is exposed to and this is someone people have looked up to for a long time and she’s not the one changing, it’s the people who view her who are changing.   It’s hard for some people to understand I think because some really cruel critics may say it’s a publicity stunt, but I genuinely think this is who Bruce is and it’s something she’s been hiding for a long time. 

            

           Spectators will have their say, but nothing’s going to change what’s there, or I should say, who’s there.  There are going to be supporters and of course there will be haters, but I guarantee this won’t affect the lives of the 90% of the people who have an opinion, so why say anything unless you’re showing some support.

            

           It’s like Thumper (from Bambi) says: “If you can’t say something nice… don’t say nothing at all”. 

The Force Awakens

            To all of those Star Wars nerds, this is beyond big.  Another movie for those dedicated fans.  If you haven’t seen Star Wars, you are welcome to come out from under your rock.  I can’t imagine anyone who hasn’t seen the series.  I can understand if you’ve only seen the originals, a little less understanding if you’ve only seen the newest, but I don’t think I could know anyone who hasn’t seen any.  The trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens first was introduced at comic con this year.  The new movie is headed to theatres near you on December 18^th, 2015.  It’s going to be a good holiday season. A As

            

             Like I said before, if you haven’t seen them, then you have some catching up to do.  A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi were the original Star Wars movies, but then the prequels (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith) were created so they became episodes IV, V, and VI.  The Force Awakens will follow as episode VII. An Ass

I am so excited that they are going to bring back some of the original “squad” which includes Han Solo and Chewbacca!  The trailer looks super good in my opinion.   They are definitely milking the money out of the Star Wars series, and I of course don’t blame them because that is more for me to enjoy.  The money they must be making is unimaginable.  Star Wars has been so successful with everything they do, and will of course continue to bring great success.  They have merchandise for everything and with them releasing new movies like they have been, it certainly helps the money flow and publicity. A As   a

I’m really excited for the new movie and really hope it lives up to the standards it has.

Nina's Last Bite

           

            I’ve always been a huge fan of the Vampire Diaries and unfortunately, Nina Dobrev, the actress who plays the shows main character Elena Gilbert, is leaving.  I never understand why they do that.  I know a lot of the time, people want to move on to “bigger and better” things, but you’re the freaking main character!  It just seems rude to me.  I kind of feel like this situation is different, though.  Since like the third season of the show, it’s been different along with Nina’s character.  Even then, I think she should stay until the show ends.  She apparently always saw her character’s storyline as a six-season adventure.  I don’t see how they can make “Elena” exit the show! I think the only way they can achieve that is to kill her off.  Not only is Nina leaving, but also Michael Trevino who plays Tyler Lockwood.  Come on!

            

            Nina had a lake house party after announcing that she was leaving the show.

"Dearest TVD Family, I've just spent the most beautiful weekend on Lake Lanier in Georgia with my own TVD Family, the cast and crew of The Vampire Diaries. I want to be the first to tell you that it wasn't just a holiday celebration, it was a goodbye party" .

Her and some of TVD cast celebrated and embraced the goodbye.  That show has made me cry on several separate occasions, so I don’t know what to do with myself now.  I don’t know how the show will continue without her and the stories she was in.  The epic story the show follows is the relationship between Elena and the two Salvatore brothers, Stefan and Damon (portrayed by Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder). 

            

            There have been a few rumors that have accused Nina of leaving because of her ex and costar Ian Somerhalder.  They broke up two years ago and he’s engaged to Twilight star, Nikki Reed.  From Nina’s Instagram, she and Ian are on good terms as they wrap up their final scenes together. 

            

            She shared the sweetest post with her other not-in-real-life lover Paul Wesley about her leaving.

            

            It’s going to be sad not seeing her (and Michael) on the show but I do hope the best for them and you can bet that I’ll be rewatching the show often to relive the memories.

Coachella

            You’re either at Coachella or wishing you were.  Who wouldn’t?!  It’s one of the biggest music festivals in the world.  I certainly wish I was a 16 year old millionaire that could blow off school to go and have the time of my life, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. 

            

             I figure if you’ve ever read my blog, than you must know who’s who, so I’m going to assume you recognize the names Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler.  First off, wow what a couple.  They’re relationship goals.  But have you seen them (or pictures) of them at Coachella?  Whoa.  Obviously, Vanessa is like the Queen of Coachella.  She can wear anything and look AMAZING.  I’m convinced she could pull off a garbage bag and it would be trending.  Regrettably, Vanessa wasn’t there this year.                                                                                      

                   

    

Going to Coachella would be a dream and I can only imagine how many celebrities are there that you could meet.  Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Tyga were there with Khloe K, and Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner were there for sure.  I mean if you’re going to cause a lot of problems, people will find out.  There have been a lot of rumors surrounding the two for a while whether they’re just really really good friends, or more.  They always seem too close for friends.  Kendall and Justin have been seen a lot together at the festival.  Apparently Kendall, Justin, and some friends were trying to get into the Neon Carnival Party that was only accessible for those 21 and older and seeing as Kendall is underage, they were denied access.  Justin being himself started fighting and arguing but they weren’t allowed in.  Later, the same night, Justin was grinding on some other model and Kendall left them crying.  WOW. 

Luckily Kendall didn’t have a fake ID while trying to get into the Neon Party.  Unfortunately for others, hundreds of fake IDs have been confiscated through Coachella.  That’s got to be really awkward. 

What’s a big event if there is not drama?  A small event.  Coachella looks like a dream and maybe one year…
