Carrie Prejean has a sex tape? OMG! This is the best news of the year! I didn't log into facebook for a few days, and now THIS?

I just don't even know what to say... I'm so HAPPY I COULD SHIT!

I wonder what the 2010 Conservative Women's Calender people think of this....????

Wait, let me guess...she made the video a long time ago, and now she has found the Lord and is forgiven for ALL her past sluttiness...and now she is free to pass judgement on all gays, and stand UP against them and their right to equality?
What a bitch.

I have nothing against people who do porn! Just people who do porn and then claim to be the moral compass of us all.

This is truly one of the happiest days of my life:)

What do you all think about the Oscars decision to have 10 Best Picture nominees, a depart from it's usual 5 choices?

Their reasoning was very honest and upfront, which I appreciate. The shows ratings have been decreasing at an alarming rate, loosing great advertisers and sponsors for the event. They need to appeal to a broader viewership, especially younger demographic, which the shows greatly lacks, and they make no qualms about wanting big Blockbuster flicks having a shot at being nominated or even winning in order to attract the viewership of the fans of those films, as opposed to period pieces that barely anyone ever heard of, much less watched.

I'm really torn about it. I feel it takes the luster out of being nominated. 10? That's a lot of movies. Hollywood barely churns out 5 worthy movies a year, much less 10. I will say I could burst in glee over the possibilty of "Up" the animated Pixar film being nominated for a Best Picture award due to the increase in nominees. Critics say because there weren't that many contenders this year, and the movie was so special, it is a shoe in for a nomination.

Many eastern philosophies subscribe to the theory that you
should think about your own death, upon waking each new day.
(It's supposed to add perspective to your life and the
conscious decisions you make every day.)

So my question to you guys is:

If you knew you had exactly one week to live,
what would you do in that last week?


The following is what I would do?

I'd spend a good majority of the week making sure that
I could find a great home for both my dogs, where I knew
they would not get separated and would get lots of love.

I'd sell anything I had of value and make sure it went
to those I loved.

I'd spend a lot of time on the phone telling people
I loved them.

I wouldn't travel or go anywhere. Instead, I'd spend
the majority of the time cuddled up with my dogs or
playing with them on the beach and trying not to sleep
much.

OK. Your turn.

You've got exactly one week to live.
How will you spend it?

(After you answer this....I challenge you
to immediately do something on your list.)

I think I am going to be in the minority with my opinion.

I think it took balls to reveal his crystal meth use.
If the tennis world is pissed at him
and fans are disappointed in him,
that's understandable,
BUT...

He didn't write his book for money.
(He has money.)

He is a humanitarian on the highest level.

Let's all try to remember the good, before judging
him too harshly. He must have wanted to get it off
his chest and that takes serious nutsacs on his part.

I respect him for "coming out". He had no one to harm
other than himself, for writing his book. (It's not a
tell-all on someone ELSE). To me, this is STILL an
example of a role model, because EVERYONE falls
(at some point in life) it's the way you stand
back up that reflects the kind of person you are.
And sometimes the best way to right a past wrong
is to come clean with it.

Good for him.

(Someone tell me how his interview is on 60 Minutes
tonight, cuz I'll be glued to football all day.)

After much time of being stubborn and refusing to get facebook, I decided I MAY consider it.

What do you all think?

Is it worth it?

Will it be a quick fad much like myspace was? (none of my friends use or have a myspace account anymore and laugh at the sheer thought- I just don't want that to be the same with facebook as soon as I create a page)

Has it strengthened your friendships or made them less 'human' and sentimental?

I'm not meaning this as a diss to anyone who uses facebook at all, but I use to always think people who don't have a facebook/myspace/twitter were so classy. The mystery behind their privacy made them all the more captivating. Is that the case?

Am I overthinking it?

LoL. HELP!

75 Percent of Young Americans Are Unfit for Military Duty
Posted: 11/3/(Nov. 3) -- Are America's youth too fat, dumb or dishonest to defend the nation against its enemies?

The latest Army statistics show a stunning 75 percent of military-age youth are ineligible to join the military because they are overweight, can't pass entrance exams, have dropped out of high school or had run-ins with the law.

So many young people between the prime recruiting ages of 17 and 24 cannot meet minimum standards that a group of retired military leaders is calling for more investment in early childhood education to combat the insidious effects of junk food and inadequate education.

So, back in the day - like, around the time I was Mt. Rose American Teen Princess, I was in pretty good shape, and fit, and super adorable. Well, like many women, since I got married and started working full-time, and now - going to school, I have gotten way out of shape.

Now, it's not like I've let myself completely go, but I am just not beauty queen material anymore and after looking at photos from the American Teen Princess days, am disappointed with that.

So I have started a journey to lose a few pounds... okay, like, 50... and get back into top Beauty Queen condition. It's going to be quite an undertaking with everything going on in my life - and the holidays - but I am committed to living a life that is healthy and one in which I am confident.

That said, I have started a blog to chronicle this journey. If any of my Clutch or USB friends would like to follow along, I would thrilled to have your support and feedback.

While I don't know if a "Mrs" pageant is in store for me after this, I do know that I will be providing pageant commentary along the way and trying to have as much fun as possible for what could be a hellish ordeal.

Anyway, if you get a chance, the address is http://becomingthecrown.blogspot.com. The "look" of it is still a work in progress, and clearly, I am as well. But I thought I would invite you to check it out.

Let me know what you think.

Couldn't help but laugh...



LONDON – The reigning Miss England has relinquished her crown after being accused of a fight in a bar.

Pageant organizers say Rachel Christie has also withdrawn from next month's Miss World competition in South Africa.

They said in a statement that the 21-year-old heptathlete will now focus on clearing her name and training for the 2012 Olympics.

British newspapers reported that Christie got into a dustup with another beauty queen — Miss Manchester Sara Beverley Jones — in a nightclub earlier this week.

Greater Manchester Police said Friday that a 21-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault after an altercation at the city's Mansion nightclub on Monday. She was released on bail pending further enquiries.

Ever just feel like there's been things you've been meaning to do but left behind in life and look back on it with regret?

Not talking small things, like...wish I went blonde once.

I'm talking...getting that degree. Applying for that job. Approaching that guy who clearly seemed interested.

Who here has a take charge approach to life? If you see something you want, you go for it? Are a risk taker? Will invest, start up, or even flirt without knowing the end result?

How has that worked out for you in life?

I always envy those who say they have absolutely no regrets in their life.

Subject: Stimulus Watch: Salary raise counted as saved job. http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/fromcomments/316154.php Last week’s stimulus report claimed 640,000 jobs saved or created by the economic recovery plan so far. Those jobs came from 156,614 federal contracts, grants and loans awarded to more than 62,000 recipients, worth a total of $215 billion. Really? Really? What kind of accounting is this? I am disgusted!

From www.adn.com

NEW YORK -- Sarah Palin's book tour is a gift for her base.


No stops are planned in Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and other major cities and book-buying communities that are standard for authors on the road, but where the voters tend to be Democrats.

Beyond a Nov. 16 television interview with Oprah Winfrey, nothing is scheduled for Chicago. New York will feature media appearances only. Instead, the itinerary for Palin, whose "Going Rogue" comes out Nov. 17, includes Noblesville, Ind.; Washington, Pa.; and Rochester, N.Y.

I am in the process of applying to law schools, and I’m seriously considering a few in NYC. I've been to NYC many times, and have enjoyed my stay each and every time. However, it has been noted that living in NYC is nothing like visiting NYC. I am an Angelino; born and raised, and although I'm aching to bust this "bitch," I already miss home. Is this a case of "cold feet?" Take into consideration; I've lived at home for my whole life. (Besides a stint with an ex bf) Should I trade my stomping grounds for a "breath of fresh air?" Any of you made a similar/same plunge?

"Conservative Republican Bob McDonnell's victory in the Virginia governor's race over Democrat R. Creigh Deeds and moderate Republican Chris Christie's ouster of unpopular New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine was a double-barreled triumph for a party looking to rebuild after being booted from power in national elections in 2006 and 2008."

My own take:
In New Jersey especially when Jon Corzine had the presidential muscle on his side, the result means S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G in the big picture. The NJ election at the very outset had been considered a referendum on the Obama presidency!
