Are We All Under the Influence?

Mischa Barton was charged with a DUI on Tuesday February 26, 2008 for driving under the influence, driving unlicensed and for possession of marijuana. The problem with these celebrity mishaps is that teenagers, especially young teenagers, read these news stories and begin to idolize these situations. Hollywood glamorizes underage drinking and partying and teenagers began to become immune to the severity of driving under the influence. Instead of making apologies, celebrities play these incidences off as "just another day in Hollywood," and the vicious cycle continues. Hollywood needs to stop manipulating young teens. These stars need to take responsibility for there immature actions and media needs to write the full story on the dire consequences of these "common" situations.
Here is an interesting website that features all of the celebrity mugshots curtsy of US Weekly...

Two words...SNOW DAY! Sometimes I feel like our school has more time off then we do actual time at school. Since we have had a wonderful four day weekend, my life has basically been comprised of sitting at home and hanging out with my friends. Everyone should get excited because this upcoming week only consists of three and a half days of school! Since there is not much going on here in Liberty, lets check out the world of our crazy celebrities...

In a recent poll, it was discovered that celebrities political stance and opinions on politics had no affect on voters. I mean do I really care who Paris Hilton is voting for?

In other news, it seems that Nicole Kidman is about four months pregnant after being seen in Tokyo to promote her upcoming movie "The Golden Compass."

Finally, tonight is the 2008 Academy Awards so tune in to see who wins and check up the "interesting" fashion.
Until Next Time,
Emily

This past weekend has been crazy and really busy! Thursday night started with the Senior Girl's Lock In which was a ton of fun. The girls cranked out posters honoring clubs and teachers. Everyone was allowed to leave at 5:30 in the morning so the girls were exhausted!
On Friday night, the Courtwarming game took place. They Jays did a great job and Kaylee Hay and Chris Willett took Courtwarming Queen and King.
Saturday night was the Courtwarming dance which was a great time. We had a group of twenty and ate at M&S Grill which was really good and not super expensive. Next our group headed to the dance and ate breakfast at a friends house after.
On Sunday night I went with my aunt and sister to get my belly button pierced which was quite the experience. After I got the piercing done I was completely pale but it was relatively painless.

Until Next Time!
