Britney Spears

Britney Spears, this is a very appropriate post. It is her 27th birthday today, her album Circus dropped today and she preformed on Good Morning America.
Firstly, her album is amazing. I was lucky enough to get a CD yesterday and wow it is amazing. I think everyone should go out and buy it. She has announce her tour dates for the United States, hopefully the Canadian dates come out soon!!
Everyone is saying that her performance this morning was not up to par. Of course she is not dancing like she used to post-babies but she is dancing well. I think that the more she performs the more comfortable she will be. It has been a while since she was done these performances, remember for her last album she did not tour, and the album before that she cancelled half way because she hurt her foot and she met Kevin Federline...boo... She will come back huge, I know I will definitely be first in line to buy concert tickets. I love Britney!!

P.S. If you did not check out her MTV special On The Record. Sunday night...CHECK IT OUT...it was actually sad. I really feel for her. She said in it that her life is very dull and boring. I think that we judge celebrities so much because we imagine their life to be so great, sometimes the grass is not greener on the other side.

Four Christmases

Christmas movies are my favourite. Over the weekend I saw Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. It was hilarious! I think it was one of the best Christmas movies I have seen in a while. It really reflects the issues that people face at Christmas every year, and really explains why some people really dread the holidays. Of course Vince Vaughn supplies tons of sarcastic comedy, which I love, and Reese really compliments the comedy with her own style. This weekend alone in the United States Four Christmases was #1 at the box office and made over $46 million! The American Thanksgiving Holiday, helped make it #1 but its a great movie. This is definitely a must see, so get out there and watch it!! It is great for families even.

He is ENGAGED!

Yes, yes it is true. Orlando Bloom has asked his longtime girlfriend to marry him. Miranda Kerr, is a Victoria Secret beauty and the two got married in Italy this weekend. Some say that they will tie the knot next year when they both have time off. Congrats to the beautiful couple, I am sure they will make the hottest babies ever!!!

Marilyn Monroe...

The world's obsession with the beautiful, Miss Monroe will never end.

A tragic story indeed is the one of Norma Jean Baker, a young girl whom was never told was beautiful or important. "No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't," Monroe said. A young lady who married, and knew she was destined for more then just making babies and attending to a home. Someone who was not ashamed of her past, because she knew that every decision and choice she made was furthering her future of greatness. A dedicated soul, who fought for every inch of fame that she acquired. Marilyn Monroe was all of these things, she made her self who she was, "Nobody discovered her, she earned her own way to stardom," Darryl Zanuck, President of 20th Century Fox, once said.

Marilyn used her body to get what she wanted, and sometimes (not always) regretted what using her body produced. "Blond hair and breasts, that's how I got started. I couldn't act. All I had was blond hair and a body men liked. The reason I got ahead is that I was lucky and met the right men," (Marilyn Monroe) It seems that she was someone caught in the grasp that is the "Hollywood Machine" and was barely holding on for her life. As talented as Marilyn was, she too struggled with feeling inadequate in Hollywood, she once said, "My illusions didn't have anything to do with being a fine actress. I knew how second rate I was. I could actually feel my lack of talent, as if it were cheap clothes I was wearing inside. But, my God, how I wanted to learn, to change, to improve!" These feelings may never have left Monroe, as no one quite understands to this day why she would kill herself, or perhaps something else happened. Her housekeeper, Eunice Murray said after her tragic end, " It's my feeling that Marilyn looked forward to her tomorrows."

All we know is that Miss Monroe was a unique, brave and dedicated lady, she made her mind up one day that she would be in Hollywood, and she did. Known as one of the best comedic actresses of all time, Marilyn Monroe will never loose her allure, and for that she is and always will be the Ultimate Blond in Hollywood.

Sometimes we make people bigger then they are, and when this happens, their is understandably a large amount of pressure on that individual to be what everyone else wants them to be and fulfill. Celebrities have everything we think we want in life, fame, beauty, money...and we feel that they should be something they are not because of what they have. Marlon Brando made a comment on Marilyn's passing and said,

"Do you remember when Marilyn Monroe died? Everybody stopped work, and you could see all that day the same expressions on their faces, the same thought: 'How can a girl with success, fame, youth, money, beauty...how could she kill herself?' Nobody could understand it because those are the things that everybody wants, and they can't believe that life wasn't important to Marilyn Monroe, or that her life was elsewhere."

The fascination with Marilyn Monroe will never fade away, a tragic story about a women who went were she wanted to go and fulfilled every dream she had, just to realize that perhaps that was not what she wanted after all...

Paris & Benji

Is it over? Does anyone care?
I think people really do...or at least I do.
Paris and Benji have been dating for nine months now. Apparently, he is very controlling and Paris is tried of being bossed around. Also, Benji does not drink, and Paris seems like she likes to have a good time. I think that it is difficult dating someone who has very different morals/beliefs/etc as you. I think it lasts for a while, you can deal with it for a while but it catches up with you. I am not sure they have actually broken up, but if Perez says it then it must be true, right? What do you think, do you even care about her anymore???

Image...And what you can do with it.

I was thinking about images today...in particular how people look, how they present themselves and most importantly why they look the way they do (like what are they trying to tell us!)
I was thinking about how I have blonde hair, and the effect that my hair colour has on everyone I meet. I can tell when someone assumes I will be a certain way and then they are genuinely surprised when I am not the way they anticipated. BUT this blog is not about me...today...I will talk about Holly Madison, because I love her and I think she has an interesting story.

Growing up being a plain Jane, with brown hair and a small skinny body, Holly has definitely made herself into what she wanted to be. One could argue, everything she has accomplished is due to her image. I am so impressed by her, actually. She made herself who she is, by means of hair colour and plastic surgery. Who cares if that is what she did, everyone does things that effect there future (university even...).
Sometimes the way we are treated as children/teens directly effects how we see the rest of our life, and that is how we change and make ourselves into who we REALLY want to be. Holly lived in Alaska, and when she was in middle school she moved to Oregon, she said she was a fish out of water, and struggled to meet new people. This transition is what shaped her into the dedicated person she is. Clearly, she made a decision to change her life; physically and also she attended the University of California, started working at Hooters and as a Hawaiian Tropic model. It was when she was working as a Hawaiian Tropic model, she was invited to a party at the Playboy Mansion. Two days after meeting Hef, he asked her to move in with him. I guess the rest is history...if you are able to change your image into what you want to be, you are able to change your life.
Essentially, if you are dedicated, you have the power to do anything or change anything, including your image. Images define who we are, it is unfortunate but it is true. That is the first thing everyone sees, it is up to you to change the rest or not to.

Everyone's favorite Friend...

Jennifer Aniston is in the December issue of Vogue and her comments in the issue have been getting her some attention. Of course, like every reporter, they ask her about her feelings on Brad and Angelina. For the first time though, she actually responded. Jenny said that she thought that it was "un cool" of Angelina said she could not get wait to get to work on Mrs & Mr Smith everyday. This was a huge step for Jen, and apparently she is still upset about the break-up. I think that she had a right to be mad, but if it were me in that situation I think I would have either made a comment about this right away, or never made a comment. That's just me though...I am still always on Jenny's side!!
