New Young Artists Making Their Way to Star-dom

Many young inspiring artists are trying to come out into the music world. However, there is one young woman who has been trying for a few years to have her music to become more well-known and she is slowly getting what she had wnated. Kina Grannis, a 23 year old from, California started her love to sing at a very young age and it has stayed with ehr ever since. She started playing the guitar at age 15 and once she learned how to play she couldn't help but not become totally involved with her music. Once getting into he University of Sounthern California she put her great voice into action and was elected to be in theThorton School of Music to do a six piece EP. This was featured in one episode of Geberal Hopsital. Her music has slowly been added to myspace and has even hit the itunes store. She has been featured for many commercials and even had a battle with another new artist Landon Austin for a doritos commercial.

She has been trying to make her way to stardom like many other artists so lets hope that this works for her.

Chris Brown and Rhianna's Drama

The drama between Chris Brown and Rhianna has been going on for forever it seems. The two started dating in May of last year. At first not many people knew about the couple because they wanted to keep their relationship away from the public and the press. After a while, they couldn't hide it anymore and the truth came out. They seemed to have a happy relationship until astonishing news came out about the couple. Chris Brown has been said to have hit Rhianna. We don't know why Brwon would do such a thing or what caused him to go thoguh with the act, but it was looked very poorly upon and could have runied his image. Still after a few months ago, he has been in court. He was in court today, March 23rd, for another hearing. He could be convicted of staying in jail for 5 years if he is found guilty to assaulting Rhianna.

After hearing about this incident, I was very shocked because Chris Brown seems to be very sweet, caring, fun loving and just an all around good guy. He is so young and to already be considering jail time has been very hard on his career. The two had such a good reationship, from what the public saw, that it is hard to see this happening. As much as everyone would like to think that Chris Brown did not do this, he did and it should be taken seriously. He is just like any other person who has beaten a woman, and should be punished for it.

Twilight: Selling more than 3 Million Copies the First Day!

Since the Twilight epidemic first began, it has been a huge hit for young teens and even the older generation. Opening weekend, Twilight made $70 million, which was astonishing! This is one of the most popular series than the Harry Potter novels. Twilight has skyrocketed to the extreme and it seems like everyone is becoming more and more invloved with this new series.

I remember first hearing about this book, I thought that it was ridiculous for me to be reading a book about vampiers, when that type of fantasy was not what I was interested in. However, both my sister and cousin were obsessed with the book. It took me a while to finally listen to my cousin and pick up the book and start reading it, and that was after I watched the movie. I absolutetly loved the movie and once I read the book I liked the series a whole lot more. It is very interesting and is a easy read.

As of now, twilight has been one of the five best-selling DVD's of the last two years. It has really made an impact on the movie market and just our generation in general. We can only hope that the next few books and movies that come out will be just as good or even better, than the first book, so people still stay interested in the Twilight series.

New Trends for 2009

The new colors for 2009 are yellow and navy blue. In all the magazines like Elle and Vogue you are seeing the stars show of these new colors. Also sheer fabrics and the "toga" look are coming back in style. Frindged clothing and designs like butterflies and flowers are coming back into style as well. However, high heels and the ripped jeans are also coming back in style as well as the mid drift has been noted that it might be coming back in style again. It seems like the 'Britney Spears" look may be coming back, which I particialarly do not like. It seems to me like the style has been going all over the place. First we have a more conservative look and now they are saying that togas and the mid drifts are coming back again, we are not in the 90's anymore. Hopefully this new trend is just a rumor and people wnat fall into the trap thinking that they can start wearing belly shirt again. I think that we have definitly grown out of that stage.

If you go on the link that I provided, you can see all the new trends that will be in style. If you click on all the different seasons it will show you what is in.
