Anderson Cooper's Rise Against Bullying

Anderson Cooper is hosting a week-long special that will show how bullying has affected teens and young kids throughout all of America. It will have celebrities sitting and listening to children and teenagers about how they get bullied and the hardships they face throughout their everyday life. 

The celebrities and Anderson in turn give the kids and teens words of advice and tell them that they aren't hated, and that they are loved by many. 

I really believe that this week-long program against bullying will open people's eyes to what is happened to their kids and talk to their kids about bullying and try and put a stop to it. 

No one should be demeaned or bullied.

Set Boundaries. Do not let anyone demean, define, or belittle you. You are a good person and deserve the best in life. Stop bullying. 

Tune into Bullying: It Stops Here special hosted by Anderson Cooper all this week at 8 and 10 p.m. 

Amanda Knox Returns to America a Free Woman

(pictured above: Amanda Knox)

On November 6, 2007, Amanda Knox and, then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito were arrested on charges of sexual assault and murdering Knox's roommate, Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy.

After almost four years of the most watched murder trial in Italy, Knox was freed of all charges of murdering and/or sexually molesting roommate, Kercher.

Many feel like this is another case similar to the Casey Anthony trial that happened over summer, where someone that most people thought and knew was guilty, ended up free. 

Knox headed back to the United States on Tuesday, October 4, returning to her home in Seattle, Washington.

Do you all think this is another repeat of the Casey Anthony trial?

Is Amanda Knox really innocent of murdering her roommate?

Nancy Grace Nip-Slip on DWTS!!

On Monday night's Dancing with the Stars, Nancy Grace had a slight wardrobe malfunction, with her breast being flashed on national television. 

As embarrassed as she was, Grace explained to Access Hollywood,"I was not flashing anybody. I think that when I did that backwards thing, there was a seismic shift, but I do not think there was a wardrobe malfunction." 

Rumors began to spread quickly that she made this "accident" happen to gain votes from the panel. "Believe me, that is not what I want my twins to read on the internet in two or three years when they can finally read. 'Mommy flashed the judges to get an 8.'"the HLN host said.

After the accident, Grace tweeted Tuesday a picture of her and a package of skin toned breast petals. (shown below). 

Do you think Nancy Grace had a wardrobe malfunction?

The two American hikers, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, were freed from Iranian prison Wednesday September 21,2011 on a $1 million bail. They were sent to jail for over two years on charges of spying along the Iran/Iraq border. 

Today, Bauer and Fattal were sent to the Iranian International Airport and sent to the Gulf state of Oman. 

According to the Iranian State News Agency, IRNA, Bauer and Fattal were released just as darkness fell in the capital Tehran. 

The news of their freedom is wonderful and I am so happy to hear that they will be back with their families today. 

The Fray & Tim Halperin

   

     This past weekend at TCU, we had a crazy performance by non other than our recent TCU alumni and American Idol finalist Tim Halperin and the very well-known The Fray. I cannot say that I have been to a better performance, they sounded so good live that it was unbelievable. They sounded just like they do in their CDs. My friends and I were front row and got a perfect view of the whole concert.
     Tim Halperin opened for The Fray and began singing some of the many songs that will be on his upcoming album, coming out on September 20, 2011. My favorite had to have been The Last Song, it was so cute and he sang it so well. He truly has a wonderful voice!
     The Fray is hands-down, one of my favorite bands and has been since their first song came out my freshman year of high school, "How to Save a Life". It was literally the only song I listened to that year and I remember driving everyone around me crazy for replaying that song. When they began playing that song at the concert, it became a flashback to my freshman year of high school and all the memories came rushing back!
     It's crazy how music can remind you of past memories.

     American hikers Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, whom were captured by Iranian police on espionage back in July 2009 for hiking along the Iran-Iraq border, could be freed soon according to Iranian President Ahmadinejad. 

     After being charged with espionage, a court has set bail of $500,000 each. 

     Around this time last year, the third American hiker Sarah Shourd, was released from the Iranian prison and sent back to the U.S. 

     They have said that Bauer and Fattal should be released in two days. Hopefully the two American hikers will be set free in the next two days so they can come back home and see their families.
