Are Comments Acceptable?

“Dumbest bimbos?” “...foolish woman who deserve to be slapped around?”

Media personalities have absolutely no right to say such things because they are just reporters and should say what they are told to say but not negative things and name calling like “Dumbest Bimbos.” Just because Natalie Maine’s in the Dixie Chicks said something about George Bush doesn’t automatically mean she is a bad person and that she actually meant what she said.

Name calling is probably the worst thing ever. You can’t just call someone something when you know it’s not even true because it makes you look bad. You also might not even know them so if you go around calling them names and saying they should be slapped around that’s just ridiculous. Media reporters or news reporters should never make a pointless comment like “Dumbest bimbos?” “...foolish woman who deserve to be slapped around?” I think that is very ignorant. I say; if you don’t have anything nice to say about them, then just don’t say anything.
News reporter’s job is to report news and tell it how it is, not add their little comments about what they think about people and how they should be treated.

Is Rihanna Gone Bad?


19 year old Rihanna born in the Barbados was a normal girl until she came into her singing career. She suddenly changed from and innocent girl into a whole new person.

Rihanna started off being a sweet innocent girl and that’s how people started to portray her, as and “innocent girl.” Rihanna wanted to get out of that shell and change it up a bit.

Rihanna herself said, “I wanted to get out of my innocent, generic shell that everyone is used to molding me into,” says Rihanna in the June/July issue of GIANT magazine. “I was like, ‘to hell with that!’”

As you can probably tell she is sick of her innocent look and she wanted to be something different and wanted people to look at her as a different person as she gets older. When she released her new single Umbrella, she was a whole new person. Her hair was cut shorter which made her look a little older and mature and the clothes she was wearing in her music video where something you would never think she would wear. She wanted to change from an innocent girl to “sexy girl” which she is now.

I think Rihanna went out of her element and did what she wanted. She took risks and people still love her music. I don’t think she is totally gone bad, maybe she has changed a bit but everybody changes when they get older. There are many other party girls like Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and more but I don’t think Rihanna will go into their kind of world where there is drinking and doing drugs.
Here is Rihannas video from when she first started to sing "If its lovin' that you want"


Here is Rihanna Video Umbrella. Do you think she changed?

Tisdale Gets Nose Job?

You might know Ashley Tisdale from the movie High School Musical or the show The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. The shocking news is that when she was in Los Angeles she got a nose job! The main reason she got a nose job is because of her health issues.

Ashley actually came out and had informed the PEOPLE magazine on Monday from her Los Angeles home and said that, "Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing. The older I got, the worse it got. I went to get it checked out, and the doctor told me the septum was 80 percent deviated and that I had two small fractures on my nose."

I think she is brave enough to come forward and tell everybody her problem. Some people think she is lying about this and think that she should just admit that she just got plastic surgery because she didn’t like the way her nose looked. But, I don’t think if she got a nose job for that reason she would not have told everybody. Many other singer get a nose job and don’t tell anybody like Ashley Simpson got a nose job but she never told the media or public, they just found out.

"I didn't do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health. I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose," says Tisdale, who's openly discussing the procedure because "I want my fans to know the truth. I'm not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me."

I believe what she is saying is true because somebody who gets nose job for just because they don’t like the certain way one of their facial features are. They don’t go out to the media and tell the whole world that they got a nose job because they didn’t like the way it looked. They keep it to themselves and media just finds out and then they spread the news. Ashley did not do that she actually came forward and told her own side of her story. I don’t think somebody would lie about a problem like this just to cover their true story which could later affect their career.
Ashley actually had health issue and people think she is just saying that to cover her true story but who would lie about health issues? It’s possible she is lying but I don’t think she will because she told everybody everything right after she got it done and she also mentioned that her fans are everything to her. By lying she would lose everything, so I don’t think she would do this to create a problem for herself and her career.

Getting Plastic Surgery is just crazy. Even if you get plastic surgery because you think your nose is not right or if you lip looks too big or small or whatever reason it is. It will never be perfect. I guess the more you look at yourself and criticize your facial features or whatever you don’t like about yourself the more you’re going to want to do something about it.
