Ugly Betty Murder

There have been some crazy things that have happened in Celebrity history: breakups, marriages, and/or kids to a different father/ mother. But now we can add confession of murder to the list.

Actor Michael Brea confessed to killing his mother with a three-foot ceremonial Freemason sword in the Brooklyn apartment that they shared.  He said that God told him to do it because she was possessed by a demon. When he asked her if she believed in God, she replied, "No Michael. No." Brea said that she then began to scream. He continued to explain that  he "began slashing her like this," making violent hacking motions with his right hand.

Sure we think our moms are evil when they ask us to pick up our room or take out the trash. And we think that she could be Satan himself when she says no to going out to a late night party, but really? Slashing your mother with a sword because she does not believe in God? Brea said that he was, "Doing the work of God." If I am not mistaken, the fifth commandment says that you should honor your father and your mother. Yeah, I don't think slashing her up because she was "demon possessed" is an exception to this rule. What is this world coming to!?

Work of Art

When you think of art, you may think of paintings or drawings. You may think of sculptures or pottery. You may even consider modeling and designing in the fashion world to be art. Art: things that express feeling and emotion. 

Personally, I love pop art. It jumps out at you and makes you look at things in a different perspective. It was first introduced to the world in the 1950's in London. The word "pop art" was used to describe,
 "all post-war work centered on consumerism and materialism, and that rejected the psychological allusions of Abstract Expressionism." (http://wwar.com/masters/movements/pop_art.html). 

Pop Art is simple everyday objects. Comic strips, billboards, commercial products, and celebrity images are made more appealing to the eye. It is used as an attention grabber.

Pop Art is an original and different form of art. Sure how hard is it to just copy a picture a couple times in different colors? But when you look at it, you notice that it is much more then just copies. It gives you a different perspective of each picture. Not everyone in the world sees things the same way. 

Light it Up!

Actor Zach Galiafinakis did the unthinkable when guest starring on the Real Time with Bill Maher. He lit up a joint and smoked a few puffs right there on set! The arguement of leagalizing marijuana in the state of California was the topic, and to prove his point, Galiafinakis gave the audience an example of the contriversial drug.

Above all other news stories and entertainment stunts that I have read about, this tops all. He actually smoked a joint, on national television, in front of a large audience! What was he thinking? I personally love his comical films. His unexpected sense of humor cracks me up everytime. His action was suprising, but not the least bit unexpected. In a way, I respect him for his courage to stand up for what he believed in, no matter what the circumstance. But there is a line between stupidity and proving a point and however amusing his actions were, he was very close to crossing that line.

Mel Gets the Boot

Everyone remembers that classic movie, The Hangover. It's helarious lines and quotes are used in almost everyone's everyday conversations. It's just never going to get old. Knowing this, then you would probably understand why Mel Gibson is so upset after being replaced by Liam Nesson because of his crazy outbursts against his ex-girlfriend. Wouldn't you be sorta upset if you were booted from the cast of one of America's favorite movies?

an insider says that that, "He doesn't understand why Mike Tyson, a drug user... who turned his life around, was given a chance while Mel was kicked to the curb. Everybody deserves a second chance." Gibson is battleing custody of his daughter at the moment and this kick to the curb is just one more thing that the enraged Gibson does not need.

Honestly I think it's kinda helarious. I mean Gibson, come on, you're just craving the headlines. Don't get me wrong, I love your movies such as Braveheart and The Patriot, but hey you're getting up there in age, I think its time to just hang in the towel. Or maybe pull yourself together.

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday 70th John Lennon! Millions of fans are still sending you birthday wishes and remembering you on your special day! Fans crowded in Central Park to celebrate the birthday of British singer sensation, John Lennon, who will never be forgotten. The man who just wanted to give peace a chance.

People from all over the world gathered to sing songs such as "Imagine" this past Saturday in honor of the beloved ex-Beatle. "His music speaks to people of any nation, any age..." said Karen Kriendler Nelson. Those who grew up listening to his music to the teens of today felt peace as they celebrated.


Lennon's birthday was not just an event in the US but it began early Friday morning in his native home of England. A sculpture was uncovered by Lennon's ex-wife and son to celebrate. Everywhere around the world people gathered for the world wide birthday celebration. A mosaic was donated by the city of Naples, Italy and there is a memorial in Spain representing his memory. No one will forget the peace loving activist and sensation singer and this is shown through what the world may know as the largest birthday party in history

Happy Birthday John Lennon! Your legacy is refused to be forgotten.

Rutgers

Suicide? It is never an easy word to hear. You always wonder why or how someone could bring themselves to do such a thing; For 18 year old Rutgers University student, Tyler Clementi, it was cyberbullying. After being secretly recorded by his roommate and a friend, having sex with another male, the video was published online. Clementi found the video and was beyond humiliated. He then killed himself on Sept. 22 by jumping off New York's George Washington Bridge. Now the students responsible for the bullying are hiding and refuse to defend themselves publicly.

Is cyberbullying the real cause of this young man's death? I believe it is, but the question is, what is to be done about it? Is it a federal crime? Should it be a federal crime? Students who humiliate and torment others to the point of suicide should definitely not be taken lightly. It is a serious crime, simply another form of murder in my opinion!

These student intentionally posted the video and it was intended to cause damage to Tyler. Maybe they were not aware of the crazy twist this "prank" would take, but they should be prepared to take responsibility for their actions and stand up and take the blame for what has happened. Just think of the family right now, knowing that the suicide of their loved one is a result of another's carelessness and torment. It would be wrong not to consider it a federal crime.

Nothing New: Just Lindsey

Second chances in life do not come very often and if you are lucky enough to receive one, then you should take full advantage of it and really do it right this time. But as always there are exceptions to every rule. The exception in this case is Miss Lindsey Lohan. Multiple times Lohan has been to courts due to drug related issues. This past time she was in court because she failed two court-mandated drug tests during her probation period.

It originally seemed as though Lohan's luck ran out this time. Judge Elden Fox determined that Lohan will be jailed for a minimum of 30, but as always Lohan is given another chance; a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge reversed Judge Fox's ruling.

Why is Lindsey Lohan always rescued from her punishments? Is she ever going to learn? Obviously rehab has failed in her case and now the court is contemplating appointing a guardian to her to oversee  and be responsible to legally manage her personal affairs. Seriously?

Some say that Lohan's drug abuse is directly related to family problems such as the recent divorce of her parents. One can not help but pity this situation, but at the same time it's about time the 24 year old grows up and takes responsibility for her own actions. She has been given multiple second chances to turn her life around and get some serious help. Each time this attempt fails. A good term in jail is just what Lohan should experience. No privileges and no way out except to get clean. Common' Lindsey, I think it's time you pull it together.
