Doctors Visited the 2012 RNC

The 2012 Republican National Convention is over. By now, you’ve probably heard all the speeches, and read many news articles about the event. What you may not have heard is that groups of doctors visited the convention in an effort to get messages regarding healthcare, and health insurance, to the delegates. The Republican National Convention was where the Republican Party officially named Mitt Romney as their candidate for the 2012 Presidential election. This means that his running mate, Paul Ryan, is the official Republican candidate for Vice President in the election. Somehow, the thing that is being talked about the … Continue reading →

Here Come the Freebies! – Week of October 6, 2011

It seems as though the number of “freebies” that are available right now are beginning to dwindle a bit. You can still find some good ones, though, if you search around long enough. This week, I found freebies on makeup, soup, bumper stickers, and more. Sephora has a printable coupon for a FREE deluxe sample of Bare Escentuals bareMinerals Pretty Amazing Lip Color in Confidence. I am not someone who has an interest in makeup, but I hear that Sephora is a good brand. In order to get this FREE sample, you have to bring the coupon to a Sephora … Continue reading →

Steven Page Leaves Barenaked Ladies and LAPD Investigates Rihanna Photo Leak

In August 2008, I blogged about Barenaked Ladies lead singer Steven Page. He was arrested in July for possession of a controlled substance. The arrest caused the band to cancel an appearance at the Disney Music Block Party in New York. The charges against Page were eventually reduced to a misdemeanor in October 2008. Today, it was announced on the band’s web page that by mutual agreement, Page was leaving the band. Page released a statement saying, “These guys are my brothers. We’ve grown up together over the past twenty years. I love them and wish them all the best … Continue reading →

Iconic Sex Symbols – Part 2

Posted on by

The other day, I blogged about three actors that were so sexy in their time – Mel Gibson, Warren Beatty, and Paul Newman. But, there are still plenty more to talk about! Elvis Presley I could just write 50 blogs about Elvis and why a young Elvis was so, so sexy. Yes, like many that grew up in the show biz spotlight, Elvis seemed to have had some personality flaws. But, I dare you to find one single physical fault with Elvis of the 50s or even 60s. When Elvis first hit the scene, it was he who originally drove … Continue reading →

Behind the Scenes at the Miss USA Pageant

You have to wonder what viewers will remember most about Friday night’s Miss USA pageant—-the fact that a 26-year-old entrepreneur from Texas named Crystle Stewart walked away with the title or that celebrity judge Heather Mills was practically booed out of the venue by audience members. Paul McCartney’s ex-wife received a raucous round of boos from the Miss USA audience when she was introduced during Friday’s broadcast, though she apparently didn’t let the unfriendly welcome put a damper on her night. According to reports, the former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant showed off some fancy footwork at a pageant afterparty. … Continue reading →

The Cheetah Girls (2003)

Sabrina Bryan was my favorite competitor in this last season of “Dancing with the Stars.” I knew she was a Cheetah Girl, but to be honest, all I really knew was that the Cheetah Girls were some kind of girl group. They’ve certainly created quite the sensation amongst the preteen set, so I decided I’d watch this movie and see what the fuss was about. Raven stars as Galleria (yeah, that’s right) a teenager who writes music. Together with her friends Aqua (Kiely Williams), Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) they are the Cheetah Girls, a band that sings … Continue reading →
