"Hold It Against Me"


     Its about time Britney came back with a new song and music video. The 29 year old pop princess, debuted her music video Friday February 18th and had many different views from fans. Many liked it and many thought she was just awkward in her video and she could have done better. 

     Personally, I thought she was a knockout! She has made a great comeback and kicked ass in her music video, literally! It was different and thats what I liked about it. I loved how she had TVs with her old music videos playing on it. It was unique!

     In addition to her music video debut of "Hold It Against Me", she might drop another single before her album Femme Fatale comes out on March 29. She has already leaked a 15 second clip of the song "Inside Out" that has people crazy over hearing the whole thing. Not gonna lie, but I listened to that clip for about 10 minutes over and over again. I can't wait till' it comes out! 

So what are your thoughts on her new music video?
Excited for her new single/album?

Libya Joins the Waves of Protests in the Middle East


     Libya has now joined the wave of protests in the Middle East, and its a violent one too. President Gadhafi, who has reigned over Libya for a whopping 42 years, is refusing to leave. Protests in Libya have become violent and many people have been injured or have been killed. Libya has turned into chaos. 

     It's time for democracy in ALL of the Middle Eastern countries, and one-by-one, this will happen. Our thoughts and prayers go out for all the Libyans who are fighting for their freedom, and fighting for what they deserve.

Friend or Dad?


     Recently, Billy Ray lashed out at his daughter Miley Cyrus,18, in his new controversial talk with GQ magazine since Miley's little bong incident. Once her "best friend", Billy Ray is now deciding that the role of "daddy" is time to come in! The February 22nd issue of GQ magazine quoted Billy Ray Cyrus saying that "he wished the show that launched his daughter to pop stardom had never happened."
     
     He even admits that he "should have been a better parent". At least he's honest, but you still feel bad for the guy, who also filed for divorce in October 2010 with his wife Tish Cyrus. 

     When the one-hit-wonder was asked about taking all the fame back, he replied saying, "I hate to say it, but yes, I do. Yeah. I'd take it back in a second," Cyrus said. "For my family to be here and just be everybody OK, safe and sound and happy and normal, would have been fantastic. Heck, yeah. I'd erase it all in a second if I could."

Support Iran!


     Today, February 14,2011 marked the 32nd anniversary of the Iranian Revolution and tens of thousands of people took the streets in protests against the government. Many were screaming out "Death to the Dictators", but were beaten as the basijis came through. Police were throwing tear gas at the crowd to disperse them and have apparently arrested more than two dozen people from the streets. 

     This is hopefully the year that the Iranian people will overthrow these animals who call themselves "leaders". They are dictators and should all be banished from Iranian soil. These mullahs kill innocent people everyday by stoning and hangings for crimes they did not commit. The picture above gives a fact saying "Iran executes 1 person every 8 hours". No wonder Iran has one of the highest execution rates in the world! 

     So please, support Iran in getting rid of their government!

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards


     Tonight was the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards and it was nothing short of amazing! Many performers were there, including Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Eminem, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and the list goes on. We saw many wacky outfits coming in on the red carpet and Lady Gaga making her entrance inside an egg. At the beginning of her performance of her new single "Born This Way", Gaga basically "hatched" out of her egg and made her grand, unique entrance onto the stage. 
     
     Among her were other performers like Mumford and Sons who sang "The Cave" and sound amazing live, Bruno Mars who sang a new rendition of his song "Grenade" (not the Jersey Shore kind of grenade!!) which was beautiful, and Ce-lo featuring Gweneth Paltrow performed the song "Forget You", which easily became my favorite performance of the whole show! All in all, the show was PERFECT

     So if you watched the Grammys, what was your favorite part of this years show?

Lohan Court Attire Inappropriate?


     You would think that after leaving jail not too long ago that Lindsay would have learned her lesson by now. WRONG. The young star, 24, on her way to court in that cute, but highly inappropriate for court outfit, is getting ready to most likely face another year in prison. Lohan was recently accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice,California jewelry store. I thought she's rich already? Why would she need to steal a necklace? 
     So far, she's DEFINITELY NOT making a good impression. She stole after being let out of prison for less than a year and wore this outrageous outfit that is not suitable for court. Will Lohan learn her lesson this time around??
     

Another Green Movement?


     For anyone who doesn't know what the Green Movement is, it was the recent uprising in Iran during the summer of 2009 after the rigged presidential elections where Ahmadinejad was picked over the more popular Moussavi. 
     February 14 is the day that Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hosein Moussavi decided they should hold an opposition rally to support what is happening in the Middle East with Egypt and Tunisia. It is an important day for many Iranians and it is the day that many will want to come out onto the streets to protest against the Iranian government. With everything that has happened in Egypt and Tunisia, Iranian officials have already warned against the opposition movement that severe consequences will be followed if people pour into the streets to protest. 

     The Iranian government has already blocked searches that have any terms that have to do with Monday's rally planning, mainly the word "Bahman 25" which means Feb. 14. Hopefully the Iranian people will come out to protest, as they have many other Middle Eastern countries now on their side following them and hoping the best as they all did for Egypt, and overthrow this awful, authoritarian government.
