YES WE CAN!

Yes we can!

Although a dated post, Mr. Obama has been in my thoughts for a while.

It is amazing to see that we have reached a day and time, when the highest paid television personality would be an African American female, followed by an African American male in charge of the most powerful country in the world. The world is changing, and I hope that these powerful influences will be the first step in creating a new world that is decisively linked to empowering everyone.

For so long, visible minority groups have been at a disadvantage in the arena of finance and politics, and it is important to have leaders who are visible minorities that support where they came from, but also do not use that as an excuse. Instead they have proved the exact opposite, that hard work, dedication, and a true passion for what it is that you are involved in, is ultimately what will win the race.

I have to say that while I am a Canadian citizen, our elections are no where near as entertaining as American politics, and we never have that great of a selection when it comes to our available candidates.

My only fear for Mr. Obama, is that he is now left in the wake of the disaster created by George W. Bush, and responsible for turning around 8 years of damage. In the first term of him in office I can see that the American public will be forgiving of any items that may not have been delivered as planned. However, should he move into his second term, if things do not have a positive turn that the American public likes, he will likely be blamed for the inability to correct the problems created by Mr. Bush Jr.

Mr. Obama's time in office will serve to be a source of inspiration during economic hard times, and to the whole world. While I was hoping that Hilary Clinton would have been his second in command, I do think Barack Obama will show the world that his "Yes We Can", slogan will indeed become a testament to change, breaking barriers, and influencing the world.

Celebrity Drama: Why Lauren Conrad Pisses me Off

Ok. So I am fully coming out of the closet. I watch "The Hills". Yes. You heard me. I watch "The Hills."

I watched Lauren Conrad saunter through her highschool days in Orange County as the revered blonde princess; that is the ever too common of the "natural" females in the habitat of OC.

I followed her through her constant failed relationships with the men of the OC - who she thought was gorgeous, but the rest of the world thought looked like overgrown hobbits, and creepy looking pedohpiles (even though they were young...yes ironic I know).

YES! I have watched Lauren Conrad with her Chanel purse that ONLY A GRANDMOTHER WOULD USE! It's all true. And I am ashamed. And now here it is. In the public, for all too see.

So here it is; Lauren pisses me off. She is so absolutely useless that it is UNREAL. If she's not telling her friends how to live their lives so they can be as virtuous as her - then people are very painfully trying to extract words to create a semi -sorta like coversation - with her, that will revolve around and about her.

The whole reason why everyone watches this show, is so that we can all confirm the truth: that if you are born into wealth; talent and education do not make a shitting difference. What is truly valued in this world is that your parents have enough money to send you to an Art Institute, because they do not need to worry about your financial stability in the future. What matters is really who you know, and that you have a television show that teens who wish they were rich and had connections like you, watched.

My sister delicately debates with me that "Lauren is a nice girl - she is just retarded." I take offence to that, because I believe that many people with special needs have a lot more to offer than Lauren Conrad.

Lauren is unable to have substantial relationships with boys, because she has nothing substantial to offer. I would say that she is a cute looking girl - but hands down...now that Heide got her rhinoplasty and breast augmentation done - she BLOWS LC out of the water. Especially because she actually keeps her hair in healthy and shining condition versus blow dried and fried. I'd be Heide's friend - because at least she is a stupid douche bag, whereas Lauren is an undercover douche bag.

BTW - are there any people out there dumb enough to be buying her rip off 70's gear at ree-dock-u-lous prices?

The other thing that pisses me off about Lauren Conrad - is her buddy over there - Lo Bosworth, or Worthless or whoever she is. Someone needs to clarify this - WHO IS LO & Why does she look like a treasure troll???? Please! Help me understand: why Heide got a nose job when she was not all that unattractive to begin with - but Lo has to stay looking the way she does??? I am not being superficial - I am just culminating all that I have learned from the depth that is "The Hills". I mean - how does a treasure troll get to be the one making witty, snide, somewhat mean comments - did anyone remind her that if she looked in the mirror it would be very hard to see her whole face as a result of the massive holes in it, that are her nostrils?

And seriously, can we talk about someone whose parents did not love them enough to pay any attention them? If you have been watching the latest episodes of "The Hills", one will notice that Lo feels very threatened by the alcoholic that is Audrina. (I would also like to know what do Audrina's parent's do for a living that has her hooked up, and washed up?) Also as long as Audrina does not open her mouth, she is by far the best looking girl on that show, with the best bod - hence her lead in that movie that is sure to be a blockbuster...

Anywho,as a shamless lemming of the show, I'll at least keep having a reason for LC To piss me off while I wonder how low is Lo, and will she ever get her own bridge to be in charge of? Maybe if she charges enough to cross it she can get her nose down too!

Celebrity Drama: Angeline Jolie's pregnancy

Without a doubt, Angelina Jolie has somehow managed to metamorphisize from a crazy spastic bloodbearing emo - to a person who is now being compared a non-human god-like entity. WOW!

So of course - she went from being the crazy rage against the machine single woman , to the mother of the United Nations clan - and has now confirmed that she is pregnant with twins, walking the red carpet at the Cannes festival in the South of France. Go Angie Go! Homegirl has even been spotted wearing highheels, walking on their cobblestone floors with her bulging twin belly!

Jennifer Aniston probably feels like such crap seeing Brangelina together. Brad probably wondered what happend to his career after Angelina shoved him into the shadows, as her unadulterated sex slave. Although I must admit - when I first saw thier NON-adopted daughter Shiloh, I was a little disappointed. I thought for sure the two best looking people in Hollywood would for sure produce a Hottie McHot jr. (But then look at Demi Moore and Bruce Willis's kids...UGH! When genetics go sideways they REALLY create human catastrophes - not that I am being superficial or anything). Anyways - hold your horses, little Shiloh had to grow into her face, and she is looking much cuter these days and she really does seem to be carrying the best of Mommy & Daddy's features.

Now the twins will be interesting for sure! Especially cause Angie wants them to be birthed in the South of France - which is clear indication of the amount faith that she has in the American healthcare system - plus as Micheal Moore pointed out...in France healtcare is free for everyone. Too bad Angie didn't make it before France ruled that if you were not a citizen of France that you couldn't receive those benefits - sucks even more that the also ruled that they only way that you will ever be considered a citizen is if you are born there. So - the twins will be Frenchies - but not their celebs 'rents!

Celebrity Drama: Miley Cyrus and her milk

Well, today there is going to be alot of blogging about celebs. Why you ask? Because in our celeb obsessed culture, as of late - nothing, and I mean nothing is making more news than those people who make money off of our obsession with them. So I figured if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

So Miley Cyrus - the billionaire ho bag - is now the "Got Milk" girl, with the nice white upper lip. I already know where this is heading...I hear all of the sex jokes ready on the tips of your tounges. You gotta give those Milk Marketers credit - I mean here it was that they saw scandal, and their dairy asses jumped all up in it. I mean I'm positive I am not the only blogger talking about her white upper lip, while in the back of our minds we are getting flashbacks of bra and panty webcam images of our 15 year old Disney cash cow.

Go there Billy Ray - you pimp you! I mean, I have no problem with parents or children that want to enter the entertainment industry. I mean as the parent you are there to protect your child from one of the harshest industries in the entire world, from all of the crooked and creepy pervs who exist solely to prey on young impressionable people. But you gotta wonder - with the whole Miley Cyrus, and Jamie Lynn Spears nonsense - what kind of parent ARE hollywood parents? It's understandable that these young stars are expected to grow up faster than the rest of the world - but here is the clincher for me...in terms of business and fashion I see a young Hollywood star being forced to handle things that are abnormal. Even the whole going to school and missing prom thing too! But I have yet to understand the relationship between half naked photos of underage Disney stars all over their MySpace accounts- and being a teenager growing up in Hollywood.

Is it that as a Hollywood parent you loose all sense of proper parenting? Is there a dollar amount that sits in your bank account and when you reach it your sense of morals and values disappear?

Oh well Miley - go on and make your billions - you little Disney tart you!

Celebrity Drama: Paula is still a Crackhead!

Yay Paula!!! If any of you have ever seen her reality show, you know that she is prone to very odd behaviour. But you gotta love it - I wonder how long she will last on Idol? Long time - since she always makes the news for her brainless activitiy. Yay!!! Money, Prescription Pain Killers, and Booze = Paula on TV!!!

Celebrity Drama: Miley Cyrus's racy photos

Miley, Miley, Miley. Or should we say Billy, Billy, Billy. Her dad was at the shoot, and so was her Momma. So they all thought that she would look great being topless on a magazine cover. I have to say the Vanity Fair photo is definitely not as bad as her "personal photos" - so why wouldn't her dad endorse the future billionaire to be?

I'm not a dragon or living in a bubble...yes I get it, the world has changed and she is a teen growing up in Hollywood. She has the pressure to be perfect, and perhaps even more so, pressured to grow up a little faster than most teens, but Miley Cyrus has proved to me why my daughter or son will never be allowed to use a computer in their bedrooms. Miley has convinced me that I will have to have those parental security programs on my computer to track my children's activites, because with their cell phones having the ability to take photos, and with Facebook and MySpace dominating their existence - teens can go from hero to zero in a nanosecond.








Miley Cyrus is 15 years old. 15. Let me repeat that. 15 years old. I was 15, 10 years ago... so I haven't forgotten what it is to be 15. I was definitley boy crazy, that was something I clearly recall, falling in love with any boy that walked by me frankly. My girlfriend and I would look forward to going to the all ages clubs and Canada's Wonderland, so that our world could be full of handsome boys, short boys, gangsta boys, tall boys, muscle boys, gino boys, lots of boys.

I can't recall EVER, taking underwear shots with my girls, and NEVER letting anyone get their hands on them that is FOR SURE! I don't understand young hollywood - and I think that old hollywood and young hollywood are at a cross roads. I mean let's get real here, I am sure that there are many crack heads up in the ranks - but at least they kept that shiznat on the DL.

If I saw a photo of my 15 year old daughter flashing her panties and bras on the camera - the last thing I would do is let her pretend to be topless on Vanity Fair. I am not stating that it is not an artistic representation of whatever - but I would save the art for adulthood. Billy needs to take reign of the situation and look at the fall from grace Britney and the Olsen twins took. Fame and childhood seems to be toxic combo, and the last thing that any child needs, is to have parents who pimp her out for kick backs in their retirement. I used to think that Hannah Montanna was a safe bet, after Vanessa Hudgens bared her twat for the world to see and ruined my Highshool Musical innocense ...but Miley's pushing the envelope.

Bettcha at 18 we get a centerfold for Playboy! Bettcha Billy Ray will be there for those photos too!

Miss Universe Canada 2008

Congratulations goes out to Samantha Tajik aka Tianna Loxx for her win on Monday night as the 2008 Miss Universe Canada titleholder. In 2 months she will represent Canada, at Miss Universe in Vietnam.

I can't really say that I was surprised at the win, although I would have like to see Alexandra Malkin win, only because she seemed much more genuine - don't get me wrong I understand why Samantha won, she is a beautiful girl and she has a lot of experience...consider that she won International Model of the World last year, and has been modelling for several years in Canada...but there is something that is missing from her, that sincerety that Natalie Glebova had that was so endearing to the country.

Samantha competed last year in Miss Universe Canada and did not win - much like the similar fate of Natalie - who when competed in 2004 did not win only to come back in 2005 win the Canadian title and then go on to win Miss Universe. Perhaps Samantha may follow suit? Really it is very hard to say.

She needs a lot of refining - she's worked very hard at creating that "sex kitten" image that is so well associated with her alter ego "Tianna Loxx". Her portfoilo includes very super sexy images of her pulling at her bikini, and wearing cobra snakes. She often made appearances scantily clad at car shows - the place where models come to give it all up, and where wannabe's come for attention from anyone that will give it. This of course is hardly suiting for a titleholder.

That being said, I give Samantha credit. She took down her Tianna Loxx site, while there are still those racy photos floating around out there (remember people when you put things up on the internet it is FOREVER) for the most part they are gone, and she cleaned up her act and went back for round two of MUC. I hope that the Beauties of Canada organization work on creating that elegant and graceful image that is associated with titleholders - and when you are used to being a sex kitten, this can be somewhat of a challenge. She has to learn how to use her beauty to send different messages.

If she can hone her skills in the right way than I think that we may have a good chance of placing at this year's Miss Universe. I don't know if we will be winning a title this year - only because Mr. Trump already got his Trump tower approved in Toronto shortly after Natalie won... not saying anything.....or am I?

Anyways - congratulations Samantha - you can be a strong candidate, you just need to identify your weaknesses and strengthen them!

Why Dr.Phil pissed me off....

Ok, I get it - really I do. I know that there is this love/hate relationship with Dr. Phil and I understand why. Here he is, this big ol' Texan, with his psycho - babble and even worse...a confrontational up in your face, getting in your biz guy that Oprah loves.

So, the other day...as I am sure you all have heard - one of his producers bail out this juvenile delinquint cheerleader Mercedes Nichols, after she beats the crap out of her "friend" knocking her unconcious at points. Now granted, she was not alone in this fray, and inevitably had her little cheerleading henchmen, "ra ra" their fists into the skull of their peer, Victoria Lindsay. Of the eight charged in the attack, two remain behind bars in the Polk County jail. All of the teens, who will be tried as adults, face a felony charge of witness tampering, kidnapping and misdemeanor battery charges. Friday a judge set bail for the teens, whose ages range from 14 to 18 years old, from $30,000 to $37,000 (CBS4, April 13 2008: "Dr. Phil" Posts Bail For Teen Accused In Beating).

If that were not enough - these retarded cheerleaders thought they would be clever and video document their contribution to the betterment of society. If you feel like being offended at all , here is the link (warning, this is a very violent video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce-c68_dO6U.

Well firstly, Dr. Phil claims that a producer went ahead without his knowledge, and here is something that I know as business owner. Granted - Dr. Phil makes WAY more than me, but one thing is for certain - as a producer you do not invest any money into something that you believe won't make bigger returns than what you invested. $30 000 may be pennies to producers at the Dr. Phil show, but there have been Hollywood blockbusters made with less than that. Get what I'm saying? For someone to take a sizeable amount of money to bail someone out of jail, I don't think it takes a brain doctor to know that many people would have had to say ok to the moving of money. As a previous employee of the banking industry I can verify that moving amounts of more than $10 000 in one transaction involves a lot of red tape, and there is no one that has $30 000 in cash available on a moments notice.

Dr. Phil knew. And just like he pulled the Brittney Spears program - he has now pulled the program on this gril. His son claims to be advocating against bullying in school and yet they endorse a young woman financially that has clearly caused a significant amount of distress in someone else's life. As a previous victim of bullying in my highschool years, I can attest that there are things and effects that will transpire throughout Victoria Linday's life that she won't even realize are associated with this event.

Dr. Phil should have spent that money tending to the psychological, emotional, and physical needs of this young woman - who could quite possibly be a terrible friend or commrade - but no one deserves physcial assault - and more poignantly no one should be made into a TV star for breaking the law. (Yes, I know that this has happened many a time before!) Dr. Phil wants to teach responsibilty to his viewers, and those who choose to come on his show - but Dr. Phil fails to realize that there are all different types of responsibilities - especially one called social responsibility.
