The Conjuring *SPOILER ALERT*

I first saw The Conjuring in theaters this summer. Tonight I watched it again. I still can't get over how scary it is. This movie starts of scary. In other scary movies almost half the movie is building up the story line. They don't mess around. It starts off with this demonic spirit taking over a doll. The story line goes that this family of seven moves in to a new house. Away from everything especially the city. This family has 5 daughters. Well weird things start happening right away. Like the dog refuses to go into the house and then the next morning dies. After things get worse they get in contact with Ed and Loraine Warren. They are paranormal investigators.  Well in effort to get rid of some of the things haunting their property... There is a lot. The mom gets possessed by this dark spirit. Not only that but it latched on to Ed and Loraine, which affected their daughter. 


I am not even going to lie after the movie was over I made my dad  had to walk me upstairs turn on my light and my T.V. I also made him flip my mirror around. If you have seen the movie you know what I am talking about.  (I can't give the whole movie away.) This movie is not your average paranormal investigation movie. It takes it to a whole new level. It says that this movie is based on a true story. This is hard to tell, because if you tried to look up the family in the movie, you are going to end up on a site that is going to scam you and try to scare you. That is the hardest part of movies like this. There is no way to tell if it is a true story. The movie producers could have gotten the picture at the end of the movie from anywhere. Then claim it to be the family in the movie. Another thing I like about this movie is that it is based in the 70's. There is no modern technology. You can tell from what they wear and the furniture in their house that this movie isn't modern. I think this completes the whole idea of a ghost story.

Chris Brown at it Again.

Chris Brown is still on probation after him assaulting Rhianna. Well he is back at it again. There are two sides of every story. The side of the victim and the side of assaulter. Well according to the victim Chris Brown was taking a picture with two girls. The victim and his friend tried to photo bomb the picture. Chris Brown flipped out when he found out. Chris Brown yelled "I'm not into this gay **** I'm into boxing”. Chris Brown then punched the guy in the face and broke his nose. He is going to need surgery.

Chris Brown's side is that the two girls were trying to get on his tour bus. As the girls were trying to get on the tour bus. Chris Brown's Body guard tried to stop them while at the same time so did the victim and his friend.  Chris Brown was not under the influence. 

Chris Brown and his body guard were both arrested. They were in Washington D.C. In Washington you can't post bail. Until he can go in front of a judge tomorrow he will stay in jail. I think that Chris Brown really hit the guy. It's not like his track record is great. I mean he still on probation after assaulting Rhianna. The victim said he would of accepted an apology at the scene but Chris brown didn't apologize therefore the victim already got a lawyer and is going to press charges. The victim is not only mad about being punched in the face for photo bombing (which it's not like its insulting, it is fun and everybody does it.) He is also mad at what Chris Brown said to him. It was unnecessary and rude. There was no need to make gay slur. 

I think once again Chris Brown blew things way out of portion. Just like everything since Rhianna. He has gotten into a lot of altercations with a lot of different people.  He got in a fight with Drake over Rhianna, just a couple of month ago.  I think he just needs a break from everybody, the media, fans just everything. Just time for himself to find himself again find out whom he was when he first became an artist. I feel like everything is getting to him and he is going to have a big outburst. Bigger than anything he has ever done before. These little altercations are just leading up to something worse.


Kale

Kale is known to be the healthiest food. It is the latest hype in nutrition. When kale is steamed it can lower cholesterol. It can also lower the risk for five different cancers. It is also known as a detox. It has a lot of nutrients in it. I wanted to see what all the hype is about. Some of the hype has come from celebrities, lots of celebrities eat it from Jennifer Aniston, Khole Kardashian, and Kelly Rowland.  Here are some of things people are hyped about it is full of antioxidants. It has a lot of omega 3. Omega 3 =brain power. Omega 3 also boosts your heart's health this reduces the risk of diabetes 2. It has 36 calories and 5 grams of fiber. This pretty much cleanses you intestines. It also has more calcium per calorie. This isn’t always a good thing. For your body to absorb calcium it needs magnesium. Well kale also has a lot of magnesium. Kale also has 134% of your daily vitamin C. Yes all of these things are great and great for your body. If it doesn't taste good, I am not going to force myself to eat it. 

 I think it would be disgusting. I have heard from some people that it tastes like soft cooked squash. Well I already don't like the sound of it. On www.whfoolds.com it says that it has earthy flavor. That reminds me of what grass taste like. Ew! Some people say kale has a bitter taste and a soft texture. Others say it taste like dirt and has a rough taste. I think with all things it depends on the person and what they like. To me this doesn't even sound appetizing. 

It is part of the brassica family, which includes Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, broccoli, and cauliflower. They are very easy to grow. It can grow in colder temperatures. Areas that produce a light frost can make kale taste sweeter.  Kale can be pretty expensive at the store but if don’t have greenest thumb it maybe the best option. If not you can grow it yourself. I kind of think of kale as tofu. I have never tried kale, but if I had to guess it probably doesn’t taste like much. If you made it in something though, like soup or in a salad. It wouldn’t taste so bad. You probably wouldn’t notice it. Unless the texture of it grossed you out. The same goes for tofu, some people don’t like because of the texture. But tofu basically absorbs whatever it is in so then it tastes like what it is in.  

It is up to you if you want to try kale. For you the health benefits may weigh out the earthy taste, or maybe for you, you have no desire to try it because of the texture. In my opinion kale can just stay in the ground on the shores of California and Florida.

Ausitn Mahone


Austin Mahone got his start on YouTube. He and Justin Bieber have quite a bit of similarities. They both got their start on YouTube by posting covers. Well Austin Mahone has finally hit big time. He opened for the VMA's pre-show. He also won the "Artist To Watch" award. I am personally a fan of Austin. Well after winning the award Austin Mahone was just about to kick off his tour for it.


Until he was tweeting about not feeling good. He said it was just the flu. No one was too worried until he was hospitalized. Austin has a 103 degree fever. His team says he was dehydrated but didn't say from what. Now they say he had a blood clot. He is now forced to reschedule his tour for next year. I almost bought tickets to see him in Rosemont, Illinois. I hadn't bought my tickets yet. Now I am not so sure I am going to buy them.



From his tweets you can tell he is very upset about letting his fans down. He did not want to do this. He just wanted to perform for his fans. He now has to wait at least 2 month until he can do a tour. I'm very confused on what exactly is wrong with him. Before he made it sound like a little cold or the flu. It did not sound this bad.



His tour was supposed to start Thursday. I think the worst part about this situation is that a lot of the shows he was supposed to perform were supposed to be with other singers. So re-organizing a new tour is going to cost quite a bit of money and it is going to take longer for them to get everything for the new tour together. That it may be late 2014 before his new tour starts.



I honestly hope gets better and that this isn't going to be long term.


 

The Jonas Brothers

Okay my inner tween is going to come out in this post. I just know it. The Jonas Brothers kind of started on their own. They really owe their start to Nick Jonas the youngest brother. At a young age he was performing in Broadway shows. That is what got them recognized. Then they were put on the Disney scene.First they did "Camp Rock" by this time they already had at least one album out. Then they did a show on Disney called "JONAS". That was a big success, then came "Camp Rock 2" At this point in time I liked them just not as much as I did when they first came out.

Then as they were older they came out with more music. Then they had a show on E! called "Married to Jonas" It was about Kevin Jonas the oldest and his new wife Danielle. The boys were still a big part of the show. As all reality shows there was some drama between the boys and the families. Right as the show ended they went on tour.

Now they are back for another tour. Two days before the tour was about start they cancelled the tour. If you go to their site it says there are no tour dates. Not only that but the boys are breaking up as a band. They say they are drifting apart musically. They can't agree on the direction of their music. This all sound ridiculous to me, they have played music together for eight plus years. Nick wants to experiment and try new things but Joe the middle brother and Kevin want to stay with poppy music. The boys didn't want to go on tour with this much fighting which makes sense.

Another rumor that is going around is that they didn't sell enough tickets. This also makes since. I feel like people just aren't as interested in the Jonas Brothers anymore. There are two hot new bands to take their place, The Wanted and One Direction. An insider says that the tickets weren't sold out but they the sales were fine. I really don't know anybody that would see the Jonas Brothers in concert anymore. Unless I won the tickets.  To be honest I didn't even know they had new music out. I know in the show "Married to Jonas" they were in the studio. Other than that they have kind of fallen off the face of earth. If were them and there was this much dispute with the direction of the music they should go separate ways. If one of them wants to go a different direction he can. Or another one doesn't want to do the music thing he doesn't have to.

Molly

I didn't know why the name Molly became so popular lately. Who is she? Why is everyone talking about her? Well Molly isn't a person it's a drug.  I still don't know what Molly is. According to Urban Dictionary Molly is a form of ecstasy it can be in powder form or in capsules. It’s supposed to be white when it is pure but it can be beige a mustard color. Molly is rarely pure it usually mixed with other things.

Well the reason it has been popular lately is because there are songs about it. Tyga raps about it. Nicki Minaj has a line in her song "Beez in the trap" where 2 Chainz says a verse "Got your girl on molly".  Kanye West also has line in his song "Blood on the Leaves". The line goes "When we tried our first Molly and came out of our bodies..." 

When people you look up to or you like start doing something you might want to try it to. Well that's exactly what people did. One of the common effects of Molly is euphoria. This is what makes it so popular. After about 45 minutes of taking the drug your brain is flooded with hormones that heighten you senses. This makes everything around you amplified.

There are negative effects to Molly some of them are kind of scary. One of them is throwing up. Other people felt like they had no control over their bodies after taking it. It can cause tremors and a rapid heartbeat. It can also increase blood pressure, depression, sleep issues and severe anxiety. These side effects could happen right after or days later. It also disrupts your body's ability to regulate its temperature. If your body fails to regulate its temperature this can cause organ failure or death. Another down side to Molly is that you don't know you are overdosing. People who take Molly can feel tired or hot then end up going into a coma with out anyone even noticing. As I said before Molly is hardly ever "pure" well when it is mixed with other drugs and make the negative effects magnified.

Most people take drugs to have a "good time" or to "relax". By the sounds of it though Molly has more negative side effects than it does positive. A lot of the side effects that come with doing Molly can happen immediately after taking the drug. Basically the drug affects different people differently.  People have died from taking Molly. I would avoid it all costs because you don't know how it reacts to your body.

Celebrities with/without make up

When ever you are at the grocery store you always see on the front of a magazine it says "(insert major celebrity here) without make up shocking truth!" I don't understand why it matters what they look like with out makeup. If I was a celebrity there would be no way in heck that I would wear makeup everyday and every time I went out. I am quite  lazy I wear what I want and whats comfortable. I occasionally try to look nice, but some days I just want to trough my hair up in to a bun and put sweats on. Celebrities are probably no different they probably have days they just want to go to Starbucks in peace.

I'm not saying they all look amazing without makeup. I'm just saying that it shouldn't be such a big deal if they don't wear makeup. They shouldn't have to look their best all the time, lets be honest we don't always look our best at all times either.

Another thing I don't like that we criticize celebrities for is the  "fashion police" or "the worst dressed". Everyone has their own unique style. Just because it's not in right now or it was already in doesn't mean that they should be judged for it. I feel like it is mostly girls who get judged on what they wear. If they wear something that is not "in" they get criticized and half the time the outfit isn't even that bad.  I honestly don't know how celebrities put up with all the stuff they half to go through. Hate from people online, hate from magazines, hate from celebrities I would most likely end up loosing my mind. Which some of them do.  (498)

Bieber in South Korea

Justin Bieber is being accused of assaulting a DJ's tour manager, at a club.  The DJ's name was Michael Woods. Justin went up to the DJ at the club and apparently demanded him to play some hip hop. The DJ then told just to **** off. Justin then tried to hit the tour manager, Alex Madden. Then Justin ran off with his security. This is all according to E! Online.  E! then shows pictures of Justin in the DJ booth. This is where it gets interesting....

The DJ in the picture is actually Justin's DJ. He has been on Justin's tour since he was on the My World Tour.  Justin's DJ does a lot of DJ gigs when Justin is on Tour at night clubs. So it makes more since that  Justin is there with his DJ. The club promoter says there was no punch thrown. The club supported Justin and the DJ didn't get to finish his set. I think the DJ and his tour manager just wanted Justin to look bad. As if the media hasn't already made Justin look bad enough as it is. After the incident the DJ at the club and his tour manager wouldn't comment on the issue.  I'm not sure how I feel about the whole situation. I mean I am belieber but I try to see both sides of the argument, which is hard to do.

Looking at from someone who isn't a fan, they probably think Justin is jerk. It is hard to tell though. I guess the only people that know the truth are Justin, Justin's body guards, the club owner, the DJ and the people at the club.  That is the hard part though is what the media says, is it actually the truth. I know that Justin is a good person and he makes mistakes. But what about other celebrities. That make mistakes what if they are just perceived wrong by the media.  The media could be over exaggerating the truth to make the public feel a certain way about that celebrity because of their past. Or they made one mistake so lets keep exaggerating the truth so they can continue to look bad. We don't really know what celebrities really are like. Just how they are perceived through the media and what they post on social media sites. That is not enough to know how the celebrity really is, or how they act when its just them. 

Anyway I guess the point is Justin could have punched that guy in the face but I highly doubt he actually did. (432)

Rebel Wilson


I have liked Rebel Wilson since she was in "Bridesmaids", then she was in "Pitch Perfect" and I fell in love with her. Everything that came out of her mouth during that movie made me laugh so hard, to the point where I couldn’t breathe. In every movie she is in she plays a very odd character. I then saw her in "What to Expect When You're Expecting" She was funny in that also. She is kind of awkward though. Not in real life but in roles she plays in. Nobody really knows what to say around her. She just says weird off the wall things. It has been recently announced that they are making a "Pitch Perfect 2". I cannot wait for that to come out. I just hope it just as good as the first one was.

I love Rebel Wilson for more than her movie roles. I love her personality too. Her parents must have known she was going to do great things with a name like Rebel. Not only that but she has two middle names. Her full name is Rebel Melanie Elizabeth Wilson. Another thing I love about her is that she is very comfortable in her skin. I was wish I was that comfortable in my skin like she is. She was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and she had pink poodle slippers on and the Jay Leno said "Nice shoes!" Rebel responded by saying "I kind of like them, they take the attention away from my double chin." No one says that especially on live TV, but Rebel doesn't care. Rebel doesn't really dress to impress either.  She wears what is comfortable. I honestly don't think she cares what she looks like she does what is comfortable for her.

Here are a few unknown facts about Rebel. She is a distant relative to Walt Disney. Maybe that why she is so great. She also has three siblings in case you are wondering she isn't the only one with a unique name. Here are her siblings’ names, there is Liberty, Ryot and Annachi. Not only is Rebel Wilson funny but she is also smart. She has her law degree from New South Wales. This is my favorite fact about her, if you have seen "Pitch Perfect" the line Rebel talks about crystal meth.(if you haven't seen the movie there is the link to the scene) That line was totally improvised and she didn't even realize she said it until she was watching the final cut of the movie. She basically gave herself a pat on the back for it. Just from personal experience I think that is one of the most quoted line in that movie.

If you haven't seen any of the movies and/or shows that Rebel Wilson has been, either you live under a rock or you need to watch them now! She is amazing in her acting and just as a person. Go check her out. If you have seen Rebel Wilson's movies comment which one is your favorite? (510)

Ten Weeks of Music Mondays

On October 2nd Justin Bieber tweeted "Sunday Midnight #heartbreaker #MusicMondays #10weeks" I was so confused. Was his new single Heartbreaker coming out on Sunday night or in ten weeks? Then I found out that every week for ten weeks he is going to release a new song. The first one comes out tonight. For those of you who aren't beliebers. Back in May of this year Justin posted a picture of the album cover on instagram of Heartbreaker. The caption said "Soon". Justin has been saying it was supposed to come soon since then. He has been saying it was coming soon since then. He also told us it was on the internet and to go find it. Well what really happened is that Justin was so excited about it he posted the picture of the album cover. It wasn't even the official album cover at the time. Beliebers were going crazy wondering when the heck it was coming out. So we are now more excited for it come out than ever. 
Justin also has another new movie coming out around Christmas time. It is going to be called the "Believe Movie". The same guy the directed "Never Say Never" is directing the "Believe Movie" I am more excited about the "Believe Movie" because so much has happened throughout the duration of filming this movie.  All the drama that has happened with TMZ and also the breakup with Selena. 

If you couldn't guess by the title "Heartbreaker" is about the breakup between Justin and Selena Gomez. I am listening to as I am writing this post and it is a catchy song. There is also a lot of passion in the song. If there was video for it on YouTube I would post it so you guys could hear it. But as of right now it is only on iTunes. Here is what Justin said about the song "It's a song for people going through a heartbreak- like I was when I wrote it. It means so much to me to be able to share what I was going through, with my fans. I'm very proud of this song and I hope it give my fans some insight to my heart-JB" My favorite part in this song is when it slows down and it sounds like Justin is talking to you he says "Now the seasons may change but love goes from sunshine to rain but I'm under this umbrella and I'm calling your name and you know I don't want to lose that". Just listening to that line the first time caught my attention.  I just love that part. It is so true especially for younger relationships. 

Even though I am a belieber and my opinion may be slightly bias, I love this song. I don't think it's like anything Justin has done before. No artist has done anything like this. Most artists spend months and months working on an album and then release it all together. I kind of like looking forward to a new song every week. Also Justin isn't most artists; I think he has established that already.  (518)


Adele

It may seem that Adele has kind of fallen off the edge of the music world. She did so well with her album 21, then had a hemorrhage on her vocal cord she had to have surgery to get removed. Everyone was very concerned for her voice. Now there are rumors going round that she is going back to the studio.  She is working with Ryan Tedder from One Republic. Tedder says that her voice is better than ever. 

I am personally excited for her new album. I heard a lot of the singles from 21 and then purchased the album and I loved it; every single song on the album. I have been waiting and waiting for her new music to come out. She kind of fell off the world like Lady Gaga, but Lady Gaga got weirder when she came back into the light, as if that was possible. Hopefully Adele comes back better than she was before. People are saying she is better than she was, which is hard for me to believe because she was amazing before. She has a great voice. Not only that, her lyrics are really relatable, especially if you have gone through a breakup. I feel like 21 is her best album to date. I’ve tried listening to her other albums, and yeah they are good, but at the same time 21 is fantastic. 

When talking about Adele I was curious how she got to where she is. Well it all began when a friend of her dads, who is a record producer. Asked her to sing "Heart of Glass", that is when she realized she wanted to be a singer. She went to a secondary school, and while she was there she met Mary J Blidge. She had a big influence on her songs. She wanted to perform but at her school she had to learn to play the clarinet to be in choir. She then switched schools. At her new school it was all about the music. There was no extra stuff on the side. In 2006 she graduated and that was when labels started to notice her and the rest is history. 

One of my favorite things about Adele is that she just doesn't care. Her label told her she needed to lose weight and she replied by saying "I am happy the way I am." Then her label tried to tell her to quit smoking and she didn't. She does what she needs to do for her and not for anybody else. (424) 


Nathan Sykes and Ariana Grande

On September 24th, Ariana Grande and Nathan Sykes made it official that they were dating. I was totally rooting for them. Once I saw them do their duet for Mortal Instruments,  I  thought they would be so cute together. The song they sing is called Almost Is Never Enough. They were singing it on all the late night shows and you could just see the passion in their eyes. I knew there was something between them. My favorite performance they did was the on Live With Kelly and Michael One of the things I like about them dating is that they came right out and told their fans. They didn't try to keep it a big secret. Nathan Sykes actually tweeted and said "So, I guess it's obvious now ... thanks to everyone who is being so lovely. I'm so happy! ❤ #butweareterrified #pleasedontkillme #orariana" Nathan tweeted this at 8:44 am. Ariana tweeted about it at 8:46 am on September 24th. She said, "we hesitated saying anything as people can be a bit insensitive but thank yo   we value all of you happiness, thank you for valuing ours :)"  I love that they did this. There is still one thing that confuses me. 

 Ariana was dating a you-tuber and I didn't know they ever broke up. His name is Jai Brooks. After doing some research it looks like they dated for about a year. They started dating in August of 2012 and broke up this last August.  Jai is a part of group of guys called Janoskains that make YouTube videos. Jai and Ariana were dating long distance. Jai was from Australia. It just wasn't working. People are saying that Ariana got over Jai too fast, but I don't think so. I think that her and Jai were becoming distant before they broke up, so she didn't take the brake up as hard as if they were constantly together the whole year they were together.

If you don't know who Ariana Grande is, she was on the show “Victorious” before the show ended. Now she is on a new show called” Sam and Cat.” In both shows she plays a ditzy girl. She acts like she is dumb and she talks in an annoying voice. I know she is so much better than that. Shortly after Victorious ended she was signed by School Boy Records  and her manager is Scooter "Scott" Braun. That name may sound familiar to you as he also manages Justin Bieber. Ariana Grande is perfect; she can sing, act and she is beautiful. I really liked when she had her hair dyed red. It showed she didn't care what people thought about her and she did what she wanted. Now she dyed her hair back to her natural color. It is beautiful. She is just amazing.

Nathan Sykes is in a band named The Wanted. They are also a part of School Boy Records. In June they had a show on E! called The Wanted Life.  It was quite the success. Nathan and the other band members are quite hilarious. The boys are drunk a lot of the time. At the same time, they know when to be serious. Nathan recently had to undergo throat surgery. He had vocal nodules. He has recovered though and is now better  than before. 

 I love Nathan and Arianna I wish nothing but the best for them. They are going to be great together.
