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…

The JB Roast

            I’ve written a little about the interesting person, named Justin Bieber.  We all know he’s a problematic boy, and people weren’t afraid to address it at the Roast of Justin Bieber!  After watching the episode of The Office where Michael is the subject of a roast, I’m sure it is hard to be the theme of a roast and listen to people you know diss you.  It seems that Justin handled it well, though, and all we can do is hope for change. A

            

           People were definitely dishing it to Justin!  Selena, Biebers ex, was a common subject in the roast (I can definitely see why considering they had/have the most complicated relationship) but it’s rumored that Selena feels she was the topic of the roast, not Justin!  Imagine if she were there and came up to speak… Oh well, I suppose it’s for the best considering there’s probably bad blood between the duo and she’s found a new man. A

            

            From the few video clips I’ve seen of the roast, Bieber was laughing along (on the outside) and took it without getting offended and firing back.  Honestly, I think it was well deserved that he was “targeted”.  His actions have proved to be very wrong and he needed to hear a lot of what was said, assuming he didn’t know it himself.  I personally HOPE he disappears from the radar for a while and gets himself together.  Fame changes a lot of people and he hasn’t been getting better since he first became well-known.  That doesn’t mean, however, that he can’t be changed and turn things around for himself.  It seems to be that even Amanda Bynes is cooling off after her crazy meltdown, so Justin could possible follow. 

 I thought the roast was very comical and very much needed whether it was people getting things off their chest’s or him getting it to his face.  

2 Directions

            First I want to start off with an apology because I know this was all over the internet and if you’re somehow reading this blog, then you probably have already seen a bunch of stuff about Zayn Malik leaving One Direction (they're going in two directions now, ha ha).  I’m obviously late to the discussion, but I still want to talk about it.

            Of course there are devastated “Directioners” across the globe, but I think most people are understanding that the band wouldn’t last forever and it just happened to be  Zayn who chose to leave first.  Just look at the Jonas Brothers! (I know, great comparison)  One Direction isn’t completely broken and will finish their tour without Zayn; we’re just going to miss a really important high note in “You and I”.  Many bands break up and it’s totally fine if Zayn wants to settle down with his fiancée Perry Edwards, or whatever he wants to do.  It’s just a little too soon that he had his new music released so soon after leaving the band!  It still stings, Zayn.  It also seems a bit rude that he won’t finish their tour before going solo.  Naughty Boy, the new producer, is receiving a lot of hate from the One Direction fandom. 

            As much or as little as the fans are coping, apparently not all the members of Zayn’s former band are accepting (*cough *cough, Louis).  Louis Tomlinson has apparently called Zayn out as a coward.  Ouch, that must be tough seeing as Louis, Zayn, and the boys have practically been family for so long with a band that started five years ago. 

            There’s talk and pictures of Zayn and Perrie heading on a nice vacation and leaving the world behind for a bit, but he left people stirring.  Of course the press makes it seem like he’s avoiding his ex-band members, but he could be just avoiding everyone for a while after his big decision.

           Who knows what’ll happen or if there’s “bad blood” between the boys but we hope it’s for the best.

The Difference Between Dislike and Insanity

            I can’t find a way to communicate to both sides of every argument or relate to every story or topic, but I can’t help the sick feeling I had in my stomach when I read this article, or the feeling I have now typing this.  I believe in equality for all, including the sexuality of a person and who they are.  I can't try to relate to the other side.  I don’t know if this is a real thing that was actually proposed or could be processed, but even the thought of shooting someone in the head or “any other convenient way” because of who they are is utter insanity.  I have no respect for anyone who votes for that cause.  It’s not only cruel, but inhumane.  I don’t have words to describe what I’m feeling, and I can't imagine the feelings of someone who is homosexual.

            

             I know people who are homophobic and I know people who are homosexual.  Everyone is entitled to believe or be what they want, but it’s the actions people chose to take that can define who they are.  I think the legalization of the proposal is a long-shot, but even so, the fact that the idea was proposed makes me lose hope for this world.  I understand not everyone supports gay rights or same-sex marriage, but this is too far.  What are these people trying to do?  Shoot down amazing people in the world like Ellen DeGeneres?  I don’t think so.  This is barbaric and takes homophobia up ten times.  I understand people’s religion influence their views on what’s right and what’s wrong, and maybe it isn’t even religion and it’s just their views.  Looking at it though, would you feel better killing someone because you don’t like the way they’re wired?  Some people might think the same about you for thinking such cruel thought and better yet, proposing it to the state of California.  You know what this makes me think of?  The Purge.  It was a good movie in my opinion, but it was a MOVIE and I don’t want it to become REALITY.

News Reported By Lying Newsman

            When I was younger, I used to watch the news all the time with my mom.  We’d recognize the face of Brian Williams anywhere.  In today’s new, you won’t see his face on your television while watching the NBC News.  Why you may ask? A

            Some of you may know that a well-known news reporter, Brian Williams, recently was called out on a lie about being in a recent helicopter crash.  The reported crash was that a helicopter was shot down by RPG fire, and while that part was true, Brian was indeed NOT there.  I don’t believe he is the first reporter to ever lie about being involved in an incident or a story, but I personally think it’s sad because I used to watch the news program all the time.  I don’t know why someone would lie about that, especially a news reporter. 

            Because of his actions, he’s been suspended from his job and probably won’t be back.
