Carter C — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 03:54:52 +0000

The annual Grammy Award Show nominations are back, and it was not a shocker to most whenever the nominees were announced. This will be the 52nd annual show, and it will air January 31st, 2010. I think it will be a great show, i enjoyed all of the nominees music and I am very anxious to find out who wins the most.

Beyonce’ Knowles came out on top with the lead nominations of 10. Taylor Swift was close behind with 8 nominations. Kanye West came out with 6 nominations, and another fellow country star, Keith Urban, with 4. I hope that Keith and Taylor do well because Country is my favorite genre and I think it is very cool to have them nominated for so many award.

I am going to go through a couple of the nominations, and tell my opinion of who I think will win. I’d love to have your feedback and thoughts on the nominations, and also on who you think will win.

John Mayer- great year ahead

Carter C — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:58:25 +0000

This year John mayer is doing many great things.

His new album alled “Battle Studies” came out last week, and it is already number 1 on itunes. I have bought a couple songs myself, and I love them! I think that he has a great voice and always will be a great musician with a lot of talent.

So far, he has had

Room for Squares (released in 2001)
Heavier Things (released in 2003)
Continuum (released in 2006)
Battle Studies (released in 2009)

John Mayer has had great success in his years, and also has been very popular with the pop-culture.

He is going on tour this year. He kicks the tour off in Madison Square Garden on December 11. I think it will be a great tour, and I want to go myself to see him for myself.

Heene Family-Part 2

Carter C — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:21:50 +0000

Well, most of the comments you all posted were correct! The Heene family plead guilty that the charges of it all being a hoax is right.

The statement from their lawyer is below

“This whole deal is designed to keep the family together.” Said David Lane (the family’s attourney)

I persoanlly think that this whole thing was dumb to keep bringing it up in the news. I also think that it is sad for the children that their parents made up this whole thing. I feel sorry for the children that they have been exposed like this.

Here is the Heene Family

TAYLOR SWIFT

Carter C — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:09:00 +0000

Taylor Swift. What can you say about her?

She is only 19 years old and is arguably the most popular singer out there right now.. and In my opinion, BEST singer out there right now. Not only has she put out a new album in 2009, but gone through many other crazy things this past year. Lets go through all the accomplishments 09 brought taylor!

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.- Swift performed on the hit show in January, and even appeared in a skit! Being on SNL is huge, let a lone veryyyyy nervewracking i am sure!

GRAMMY AWARDS- Performing at the Grammy Awards would be rewarding enough, but doing it along side your best friend would be awesome! Taylor performed “fifteen” with her close friend, Miley Cyrus.

CSI- Swift takes on the small screen! Taylor guest appearances on the hit t.v. show!

ACM SPECTACULAR- T Swift Wins big at the ACM awards winning Album Of The Year!!

FEARLESS ON THE ROAD!- Taylor kicks off her first Headling Tour with a bang, all shows sold out!

CMT AWARDS- Taylor wins HUUUUGE by being nominated for the top award, entertainer of the year! S

I love Taylor Swift, and her music! I think she deserves all of the stardom. She has worked hard ever since she was a young teen.

What do you think of Taylor????

NEW MOOOOOOOON

Carter C — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:17:22 +0000

YOUR FAVORITE VAMPIRES ARE BACK with the twilight saga “New Moon”. The movie is a sequel to the first and is predicted to be just as great, if not better! I am so excited for this movie that comes out November 20. In fact, I have already bought tickets to see it! I have read the book and it was my favorite of the series. It will have so much intense action and suspense that I can hardly wait!

The premise is not quite the same as Twilight, a couple main characters will not be on the screen as much… but one character will surely take that spot!!!!

It starts out at Bella’s 18th birthday party that her boyfriend throws for her. Somethings go wrong and a very unexpected surprise happens that Bella is not glad to see. It will affect the rest of the movie and even the rest of the series. I think that everyone should go out and see the movie because it sure will be a GREAT one to watch!

I have a feeling I will love this movie. Do you think you will enjoy it? Did you like the 1st movie? What do you think of the books? Let me know your opinions!

HERE is the trailer for the much anticipated movie!:

Here are some photos from the film. Enjoyyy!

Here is one of the posters from the movie with the cast here is another poster that just has 3 of the main characters on the frontif you are interested in reading, here is the cover of the book

OU-TEXAS

Carter C — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 01:00:02 +0000

I am SOOOO sad to report that the Oklahoma Sooners fell short once again to defeat the Teas Longhorns. It was a hard fought battle for both the teams, but the final score ended up being 16-13 Texas.
A very dramatic thing happened when Sam Bradford, the star quarter back got hurt once again at the game. It is a very big deal because it could effect the rest of his life! I was so sad to see Sam get taken down for the 2nd time this season for yet again, another shoulder problem.

I feel terrible for the Sooner Team considering they now have lost 3 games this season. I really hope that Sam still gets drafted high and plays in the NFL for a long time and I wish that he has a great career!

GOOOOO SOOONERS!

HEENE FAM=HOAX

Carter C — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:49:29 +0000

Millions of people tuned into the news when they heard of a boy who was believed to be “Caught in a hot air balloon”. They watched as a silver saucer flew through the air. The other son, Bradford (10 years of age) said that he believed he saw the 6 year old son Falcon climb into the hot air balloon. The Heene parents contacted the news and cameras from everywhere captured the silver saucer frantically flying through the air!!!!
Later, after americans have been scared for 3 days, we find out that Falcon was hiding in the attic the entire time!

Now, Some People think that this was all a piblicity stunt and they just wanted to be in the limelight. I agree with that. I don’t think a child would hide for 3 days without squirming out of the box, or the parents at least looking in the attic! I think that the parents must be very desperate to have their 15 minutes of fame! I feel sorry for the young children that have probably been forced into having to play a long.

What are your opinions of the family and the whole situation?!

Here is the Larry King Live Interview with the family! :

Here are some pictures from the incident! I think it is so weird to even think that their would be a child stuck in a hot air balloon for so long.

here is the boy who was "stuck" in the balloon

here is the saucer that the family had

MILEY CYRUS

Carter C — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:22:37 +0000

LAST NIGHT. I and some of my friends, went to the Miley Cyrus Concert in Tulsa Oklahoma! IT was awesome. I love Miley and listen to her music ALL the time so it was so funnnn that I got to go! It was on a school night so I had to leave straight after school. We got there and Metro Station was her opening act. For those of you who don’t know, Miley Cyrus’s brother is the lead singer for the bacn Metro Station. I only know a couple of songs so I sat down for most of their songs. As soon as Miley came on, (Which by the way was a really cool entrance) I jumped up sang to allll of her songs. I think she did a great job and was amazing live. She sang alll of the songs I wanted her to and it was the greatest thing everrrr! )

She is coming out with a new movie called “The Last Song” and it looks REAAALLY good. She played a special clip from the movie at the concert and it looks so good! She also played a song that will be in the movie too.

Some of the songs she played were: 7 things, Start All Over, Party in the USA, These 4 Walls, Bottom of the Ocean, See you again, and Fly on the Wall. I love all of these songs!!!!

She had amazing stage dancers that danced along side of her. When she sang Fly on the wall she had her dances flying everywhere! She also got hooked to a harness and FLEW over the audience. It was really cool.There was one point where she was on a motorcycle singing “I love Rock&Roll” and she glew into the air also.

Over all it was a greeeaaat concert and I wish it had never ended! I had so much fun!!

I love miley. DO YOU ALL? what are you favorite songs of hers? I love all of them.

miley rocking out in concert:)

Miley back in the day when she used tobe Hannah Montana AND miley cyrus!

Jon and Kate + 8= Kate – Jon

Carter C — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:38:20 +0000

Millions of people in 2008 tuned into the most popuar reality television family and watched adorable kids make jokes and grow up on screen. But when shocking news came that Jon was cheating on his wife Kate, people lost their love towards their family and some stopped watching the show.

SOME believe that their marraige was fake and they were planning on wanting a tv show the whole time! What do you think of this alligation?!

I personally think that this acusation isn’t true. I don’t think that any normal human being would stoop that low to get their 15 minutes of fame, and 15 million dollars of pay that is!

Jon and Kate may have always argued while on screen, but sometimes that happens, especially with the stress of their 8 young kids!!!

Recently, after their very public divorce, Kate admitted that she has officially taken the wedding ring off, buuut she’s putting on a new one?! Turns out, she is just wearing a ring that is inspired for her kids. It has 8 little diamonds, that rep her 8 famous kids, and pearl in the middle representing her being a single mother.

The family still seems to be happy, not to affected by the split up. Mr. Gosselin occasionally stops by, i hope them the best and the kids can have a great relationship with their dad as I do with mine!!

here is a picture of Kate working alone and having to control all 8 of her kids:

Kate G having to work alone

There also have been recent allegations that Jon took money from a joint bank account! look at this interview below for further information!!! :
