I know that many people watch "The Hills" on MTV.  They are Hollywood's latest craze, and you can't manage a week without seeing one of the characters on a celebrity magazine.  They might as well be famous actresses or actors! The amount of celebrity coverage these people get makes me think they have cured some foreign disease! (Although I think Spencer and Heidi are competing to see who can be the worst Hollywood actor and actress.)

I have watched LC and co. since they were on "Laguna Beach."  I've followed all of the love triangles, fights, and other crazy happenings.  Well, I finally watched this season's premier yesterday and it got me to thinking.  After all of this time, what are some ways to improve the show?

The main idea I came up with was the captions that pop up under each"characters" name.  (Let's face it, they are characters!)  Last season gave us new faces to add to the cast.  Stephanie Pratt and Justin (or is it Bobby?)  Well, why not make the show more interesting and put their nicknames under their names?  Instead of putting Stephanie on screen and then underneath putting that she's Spencer's sister, why not mix it up?  Most of us are die-hard fans that watch, so we know who she really is, right? Put She-Pratt underneath.  That's recognizable!  For Spencer and Heidi, both of them could be captioned with Speidi.  Make one of them Part 1 and the other Part 2!  And after Monday nights opener, we can start putting Ecu under Brody.  That was the french term for Scum.  Audrina could be Playmate, Lauren could be Gullible, and I haven't yet figured out what to put underneath Whitney's and Lo's names yet.  I'm working on it.  Hmm...Jenn Bunney....maybe Tramp?

Before I go, I must ask one question.  How in the world could both Heidi and Spencer just take off to Colorado?  Does Mr. Brent Bolthouse really not care if one of his employees does a disappearing act?  Who knows what Spencer does, but he has to make money somehow.  Unless appearing in magazines with a cheesy smile is a paying job.  Who knows?

Anyway, that's all for now.  Any suggestions on my idea would be greatly appreciated.

Back soon to defend my boyfriend JC Chasez on those pesky gay rumors!

As those that read my blog know, two weeks ago I listed all of my boyfriends "J."  Well, I couldn't believe that I left off the most important boyfriend of all.  Yes, even JC isn't holding that title now.  I have since apologized to said boyfriend "J", and after a week spend making up we have mended our relationship and decided to take the next step.  That's right!  We're engaged! Time to start planning my huge Hollywood Wedding!  Any suggestions for my planner?

Let me introduce you to my boyfriend.  His name is James Franco.  He is not the most famous movie star (yet!), but is probably best known for his role as Harry in the Spiderman franchise.  You're probably wondering how we met.  Well, I have a 3 year old son who is obsessed with Spiderman.  He introduced us about three months ago.  For the last three months James and I have been seeing each other on a regular basis.  Sometimes two or three times in one day!  I call him Harry, since this is the capacity in which we met.  At first I resisted Harry.  I mean, let's face it, he's really not my type.  I typically do not go for guys who dress up in costume and ride sky-sticks.  But, after a few weeks I began to notice how attractive Harry is, even in costume!  I found my defenses starting to crumble.  Who was I to deny Harry is passion?  So, I began to look at him in a romantic light.  Even when he becomes disfigured each time we see each other again, I still was smitten.  True love is looking beyond a person's flaws and seeing the caring person within.  Yes, Harry has his demons.  Who doesn't have issues with their parents though?  We did take a break for a while I'll admit.  We needed to be sure of our blossoming feelings.  But you can't stop how you feel, and we soon found ourselves drawn back to each other on a nightly basis. 

So, after my unfortunate diss two weeks ago, we talked and Harry declared his intention to be with me for the rest of our lives.  (Or as long as my son continues to want him in our household.)  We will soon be planning our celebrity wedding.  I told him that I didn't care whether or not he showed up scarred or not.  (Personally, I would prefer not...) 

So there you have it.  My wonderful news!  As I begin planning my dream wedding, please keep up in your thoughts. Should I choose Vera Wang?  Badgley Mischa?  I'm so confused!   Who does a movie star run to when these things need handled?  Maybe Whose Wedding Is it Anyway will call me up!  (Fingers crossed!) Surely they can handle a flying Sky-Stick!

I was in bed Sunday night with my brain running a hundred different directions.  This always happens on Sunday night.  I have certain tricks I use that help me to just relax and get my mind to calm down.  One of these tricks is imagining my boyfriend, JC Chasez, singing softly to me and rubbing my back.  Don't laugh!  It works! 
Anyway, thinking of JC got me to thinking about other celebrities I think are cute.  I started thinking about how cute Jude Law is in The Holiday.  Then I started imagining Jake Gyllenhal dumping Reese to run off with me.  As I lay there dreaming about all of the cute guys I would love to just have lie down with me, I started noticing a trend.  A lot of the guy's names start with the letter J!  Which led me to make a list of my boyfriends "J."
Here in order of dreaminess (at least according to me) are my picks.  And just because most of these men are famous movie stars or famous singers, doesn't mean that they wouldn't love to meet a great girl like me.

1. JC Chasez - those of you who have read my blog know how I long to meet him and how we are secretly in love and planning to get married. (In my mind)

2. Jude Law - I know he's not for everyone, but I think he is absolutely delish.  I watch The Holiday many times just to swoon over him. 

3. Jonathan Knight - For those of you who are scratching your heads wondering who this is, he was in New Kids on the Block.  He was my favorite.  I had many pictures of him on my walls growing up, and one in particular that I kissed every morning and every night.  There are rumors going around that NKOTB are reuniting.  I am keeping my fingers crossed.

4. Jake Gyllenhall - As previously mentioned, I imagine Jake to be "a guy's guy." He seems so rugged and manly!  Plus, he seems to like kids.  That will come in handy when he meets my son.

5. John Stamos - That's right, Uncle Jessie.  I loved watching Full House when I was growing up.  And "Uncle Jessie" is one of those men who just gets better with age.  Yum!

6. Jerry O'Connell - I'm not chasing Rebecca Romain's men, I promise!  Jerry is not only HOT, but he's funny.  I love men with a sense of humor.  (not to mention great hair and a nice body)

7. Jason Lewis - You know, Samantha's boy-toy on Sex in the City.  He is the blonde Jake. He's got a great body and a great smile.  I just know we could make it work.

8. John Mayer - I know he gets quite the bad rap as a "Ladies Man", but who can resist a guy who sings?  Can you imagine waking up to him crooning softly every morning?  I imagine him writing songs for me and surprising me with serenades with his guitar.

And, I have one honorary "J."  His name does not begin with J, but it does begin with the J sound.  I have many numerous dreams about this man, most too naughty to write in a blog!

9. George Clooney - I do not know why I continue to dream about George, but I do.  We are usually doing things a lady wouldn't talk about in public.  But let me tell you, they're great.

So, there you have it.  My boyfriends "J."  Next on my list is to start planning our Hollywood Wedding!

As the news of Heath Ledger's passing come so quickly on the heels of Brad Renfro, I feel I must address the ongoing prescription drug problem that so many in Hollywood seem to have.  What's more disturbing is that there are doctors out there who are so willing to be associated with "celebrity" that they write these prescriptions.  Not that the celebrities themselves ever tell us about these doctors, let alone about the prescription drugs they are taking!  But I never suspected Heath of taking prescription drugs.  I'm sure a lot of drug abuse goes on in Hollywood.  As long as those doctors keep letting the fact that the person they are dealing with is famous and rich get in the way of ethics, we will continue to see more and more stars sprial out of control.

It all goes back to the whole "being famous" issue.  It's wrong for me to give you this prescription, but since you have money, I really don't see the harm in it.  Sounds logical doesn't it?  I'm saddened that Heath died from this.  But if he hadn't had so many of these drugs on hand, would he have died?  Mixing prescription drugs is a big no-no.  Any kind of drug, even those prescribed by a doctor, carry significant risks.  Even my birth control pills carry a risk! 

I adore celebrities.  I read everything I can about them.  I start my day by checking out celebrity magazine websites!  I buy People religiously every week!  But there are people in the community, policemen, judges,  and doctors especially, that need to take a step back and ask themselves "Why am I crossing this line?"  Stars don't have super powers!  We just want them to.

As I was watching the Entertainment News about Brad Renfro dying at only 25, I stopped to think about all of the troubles that celebrities have.  And not just in the last year or two.  Celebrities have always led troubled lives.  Just because they are famous and rich, doesn't mean that they aren't human.  They have personal struggles just like the rest of us.

The reason I'm writing about this is because I have often wondered what it would be like to be rich and famous.  Heck!  I'd settle for just rich these days!  Would that mean that all of the struggles I've encountered in my past and in my present would just never have happened?  If I'd had the money for a personal trainer and chef, would that mean the eating disorder I developed in college would never have happened?  Would my marriage have not failed? 

We all seem to think that money would buy us happiness.  Has money bought Britney happiness?  All of the money in the world couldn't save her from losing her mind and losing her babies.  Did money buy Brad Renfro happiness?  Far from it.  Money bought Brad Renfro drugs and alcohol that probably led to his death. 

I would love to have the money to pay off my student loans, buy a house, and drive a car with a bumper. (Long story involving a Walmart parking lot.) But would all of that money talk with me at night?  Would all of that money hug me and make me feel safe?  I think I would still have had the struggles that I've had, just with money. 
So perhaps the grass isn't always greener on the other side.  Would I trade places with a star?  In a heartbeat!  But who's to say my life would be any easier to manage and any easier to make sense of.

I just recently got DirectTV right before Christmas.  I was tired of losing my cable all of the time and having to wait forever to get service.  Anway, that's beside the point!  Last weekend I discovered the joy on VH1 that is I Love New York 2.  I had no idea what I was missing!  Being a single gal myself, I enjoyed an entire day of man-candy.  By the end of the day I was seriously in the mood for love without someone to make it better.  I don't watch a lot of reality shows, but this one was awesome!  Can you imagine having a mother like Sister Patterson!  It would be one big party!  And Tiffany "New York" herself!  What a character!  I know the ratings have been huge for the show, and I can completely see why.  Before, everytime I read something about her or the show, I would simply roll my eyes and mumble something about "another dumb reality show."  Am I the only one who could watch that show a million times over?  I mean really!  A man who's a midget, a man who's not the brightest bulb in the pack, a big ol serving of sexual chocolate times two (Buddha and Punk), and the dreamiest white man I have ever laid eyes on!  Yes, I'm talking about Tailor Made.  I know he wasn't the buffest, but that man was H-O-T hot!  I have a "type" and he completely fit the mold.  The man could dress, could he not?

I'm dying to hear everyone's opinions on this show.  Please, please, please add a comment.  I really want to meet some other fans! 

One more thing.  Tiffany has got the biggest boobs I've seen in a long time! And while watching the reunion show, I seriously thought she was going to lose one.

Until next time,

I'm sure I'm not the first one to have an opinion on why Britney is acting the way she is, nor will I be the last.  But I couldn't resist putting my own two cents in.  Here's how I look at the situation.  Britney is obsessed with being famous.  She deliberately courts the papparrazi.  She does crazy things because she knows that the cameras are following her.  Is she bi-polar?  More than likely, but since I'm not a medical doctor I can't make this diagnosis.  She spend too many years having everyone let her do whatever she wanted without consequences.  I know she had an assistant, but she wasn't her mother, and I'm not too sure her mom did such a hot job of raising her!  I mean, her 16 year old daughter is pregnant and supposedly she was letting Jamie Lynn live with her boyfriend for a period of time.  It's like as long as the money keeps rolling in, who cares?

Here's my biggest problem with the whole Britney situation though.  SHE HAS CHILDREN!  I'm a mother myself and my son is the number one priority in my life.  Every action I make has consequences on him.  I can either choose to be a good mother and make sure he is protected and safe, or I can go wild and not care who takes care of him.  You have to be a pretty selfish person to not care that you are losing your children, possibly FOR GOOD!  I would die if anything ever happened to my son.  I honestly don't know what I would do without him.  Do I like to go out with my friends and have a good time?  Yes!  But I don't make it a daily occurence.  I don't even make it a weekly occurence!  I would much rather spend time with him, than be out at some bar with a bunch of 20 year olds getting drunk. 
I realize that Britney is an adult and; therefore, should be able to make adult decisions.  But if I was going down the same road that she is, you can guarantee my parents would step in and make some decisions for me.  Let's hope that Britney gets the help she needs, but it doesn't seem likely.  There are too many people out there who are blinded by her fame and money.  They are afraid to make her mad.  Quit being the "yes men" and start getting this girl some help.

I was watching E News and Entertainment Tonight last night.  There was quite a bit of coverage about Lindsey Lohan "falling off the wagon."  I got to thinking; "How old is this girl?"  Didn't she just turn 21?  Now I know that she's been in rehab and she probably does have a serious problem with staying clean!  But there is all of this negative press about all of these so-called "party girls" in the news these days.  It made me think back to when I was Lindsey's age.  I was a junior in college and just discovering that the party gene had not missed my body and I was not destined to remain a goody-two shoes forever.  Up until that year I had remained the clean living ideal daughter.  I didn't smoke, drink, or even go to parties where there would be drinking!  Not that I thought I was above all that, I just didn't feel like it was for me.  Then I made some new friends (not wild girls by any stretch, but they did like to have fun) and I started going out.  I turned 21 and had drinks in my dorm room.  (Wine coolers.  I know, very cool!) 
For the next three years of school I continued to party on a regular basis.  Those wine coolers in my dorm turned into drinking at parties, at the bar, in our car, etc.  You name the place, I probably drank there.  When I moved into a house with two of the "party girls" things really took off.  I was a full-time college student and worked five to six days a week.  Yet, I managed to party my ass off at least 4 nights a week.  I still made it to class and maintained a really good GPA!  It was awesome!  Some of the best times were in those three years.
So, where am I going with all of this?  Well, if there had been a camera catching all of my and my friend's exploits on film, I'd have given today's party girls a run for their money.  What I'm saying is that these girls are young!  If they weren't celebrities and being filmed 24/7, we wouldn't know and wouldn't care less!  Give them a break!  Let them enjoy being the age they are now.  In about 10 years they are going to look back at this time and have fond memories.  I know I do!  And those "good girls" that Hollywood are always praising?  Well I think it's great that they are taking control of their lives and having fun without drinking.  But that doesn't mean that they are better people.  It just means that they enjoy having fun without drinking.  Some of us like to have while drinking!  We're allowed!
So, that's my rant for the day.  I'm planning on spending the weekend finding out as much as possible about the new Britney Spear's developments.  That girl is nuts!

Hello everyone!  This is my first time blogging, so bear with me.  Some of you might be wondering about my title.  Some of you may even be asking yourself " Who is JC Chasez?"  Hopefully though, if you're reading this you are as big a fan as I am.

Let me first begin this blog by saying that I am 30 years old.  Yes, 30.  I first fell in love with JC and the rest of N Sync in college.  I guess you could say I became obsessed with him, but not in a "stalker" way!  (Although, he did become my "boyfriend" and is still referred to as such.)  I had a group of girlfriends that enjoyed N Sync as much as I did.  We each had a member that we "were in love with", but I was the only one who was able to see the greatness of JC.  Good thing too, because I would have put some serious smack-down on whoever tried to take him away from me.  I even went to two N Sync concerts two nights in a row.  It was a 22nd birthday present to myself.  One night in Oklahoma City and the next night in Wichita.  I had a blast!

So, needless to say I've been following his career ever since.  I have his first solo album and listen to it on a regular basis.  I can pick his voice out anywhere.  Well, I chose today's blog because of the horrible news I just read about on Entertainment Weekly's website.  I guess my boyfriend has been dropped from his label.  I really am confused about this.  He's cute, he can sing, plus he's my boyfriend!  What other reason is there to keep a recording artist under contract?  I'm begging another label to realize their good fortune and snatch him up. 

So, that's all I have to say about JC for today.  I promise tomorrow's blog will be about something infinitely more exciting.  Maybe Britney Spears!  We don't ever hear about that girl anymore do we?

If you have any comments about my boyfriend, feel free to post them.  Just please be considerate of my feelings and make them nice.  Oh, who am I kidding?  Just be honest!

Love and other sports,
