First my readers Happy New Year!!!! I am extremely happy to be back with you all. We're up to 89,000 page views you know what this means right. I told you 90,000 or more something big is about to happen. So we're almost there and cannot be more excited for the year ahead with all of you.
You know when people say, “You want the bad news or the good
news first?” Go with the bad news first that way when we can resolve the issue
and go with the good news to keep it positive =). My readers my late Christmas gift to you here are some of the
popular “bad news” and “great news” stories of 2014”. Shock and Awe is what you
can definitely call 2014 for just some of the biggest news stories in the media
had us all scratching our heads thinking “Did that really just happen?” or
“What were they thinking?” Some of the controversial stories that happened this
year really did make us all discuss and talk about some serious issues that can
be addressed and also made us come together as well.
Now one story I truly will
not forget this year was the Clippers owner, Don Sterling and his racial
threats against his own team. I believe this was one of those situations where
you really have to use your better judgment even in private as well when you’re
making comments. To some of us it all kind of made us think aren’t you dating
or in a relationship with an African American woman as well? That story struck
us all because it includes not only being contradictory but it also make us
think who’s being true, genuine, and loyal. It was one of the stories where you
see sometimes money, privilege, entitlement, and celebrity can get taken away
as well. The Clippers team was
later sold to Sterling’s wife and they all have gone on to continue to play and
be successful as well.
Next controversial story I am sorry I have to go there but
this is because these topics are one for all of us who have been affected, who
still needs to address these issues privately or with other people. That’s one
thing I like about having an outlet and having my blog is for people to have
the information they need when a controversial topic comes out. Usually some
may all ready be informed, some may have missed the story too. I try to find
solutions and ways you can discuss the topic and be helpful for people too. So
some of you who saw the video of NFL Baltimore Raven’s star back in February of
2014, Ray Rice and his wife, Janay Rice were in an argument walked into an
elevator and he punched his wife and she fell over hit the side of her face on
an elevator bar and was knocked unconscious as well. The video was leaked and
the NFL Commissioner got a hold of it as well. The story caused major controversy and the public was
shocked of course. The story raised once again domestic violence issues and how
it still needs to be addressed for all people to find a way to have their
voices heard. One great thing I love that came out of this I have not become an
official member of this organization. I spotted Kerry Washington and love her
all ready as an actress and on one of my favorite shows, Scandal, and her
style. She has joined Purple Purse Organization which helps and benefits and
supports women dealing with or who have experienced domestic violence too. For anyone dealing with this issue or
know someone visit this website as well and also support the cause and discuss
the topic openly and privately with your loved one. For
Controversy with violence in the media biggest news stories-
Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Akai Gurley. I honestly feel like its still not
over yet when it comes to minorities and violence. This issue we have been
struggling with for centuries. One thing that struck me and that I continue to
noticed when people were protesting is how people kept shouting “Black Lives
Matter” it’s the truth completely. How can you even question or even say they
don’t every life on this planet matters in some way especially when these are
people who were victims of difficult circumstances. These are choices they
didn’t have to make at all they happened to them. They never asked for this at
all. It is one of the most unfortunate things for people to watch and see
someone lose their life due to violence, especially to another human being.
None of these young men deserved this at all.
Babies and Weddings of 2014
Some of the biggest stars marriages of this year as we know
“Kim Kardashian” and “Kanye West” were married they say three times a charm. Kim
and Kanye were married this year on May 24, 2014 in the beautiful, scenic,
charming Fort di Belvedere in Florence, Italy I have been there and let me tell
you if I could I would do the same it’s one of the most beautiful places to get
married I believe. Her wedding was
spectacular, tons of familiar faces and she looked stunning along in her
beautiful Givenchy wedding gown with full lace train, and her husband in his custom
made Riccardo Tisci tuxedo. Even baby North now 1 was in on the wedding as well
as a flower girl in a mock dress similar to her mother’s as well. The wedding
was beautiful and could not be more excited for these two. As I said when you
have known someone for more than 10 years and have a deep connection. They have
the kind of bond you can tell they aren’t just married but really good friends
as well. They support each other completely and I feel good about them as a
couple. Congratulations again to them and all the best to their family and
loved ones.
The next couple has been talked about for the last couple of
months people are even pretending to be like them as well. George Clooney
proposed to then girlfriend lawyer, Amal Alamuddin. This beautiful British
Brunette is stunning, intelligent, with a very exceptional background. You feel
like he has truly met his match. She has everything I believe he would want in
a man. To some women George as some have said “George is like a Chanel suit he
will always be in style”. George is Hollywood royalty now and really should be
with a woman suitable to walk with him on his arm. He has been with women who
would make us all stare and want to be in their shoes. But there’s something
about her that you just know “You did good kid!”. They were married on
September 27, 2014 this year in Venice, Italy as well. Congratulations to the Clooneys.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi –LaValle and Jionni LaValle the “mini meatball” of the Jersey Shore
(2008-2012) season and now “Snooki & J-Woww” reality television stars have
blown completely up in the last few years. She had a gorgeous wedding at the St. Rose of Lima Church in
New Jersey on November 29, 2014. The Jersey Shore star and her husband met
while filming “The Jersey Shore” and went through their ups and downs as
cameras rolled while they were dating during that time. Now after two beautiful
kids have been born two-year-old, Lorenzo LaValle and two month old, Giovanna
LaValle. The two of them looked stunning together walking down the aisle in
their wedding attire, and even after the wedding the bride changed twice into a
second wedding gown and later a Gatsby Pink velour suit. The wedding had a
whole Great Gatsby theme for her wedding and was lavish, gorgeous, and stylish
all at the Venetian hotel in New Jersey.
The Royal Family-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince
William and Princess/Duchess Kate announce they’re expecting their second child
on the way this upcoming year as well. There will be a boy or girl for little
George to play with in the very near future.
R&B/Soul/Pop Singer & Songwriter, Alicia Keys &
Swizz Beats expecting baby number two on the way the singer announced to the
public this year that she was expecting her second child sometime in late 2014
or early 2015 in the very near future with her husband music producer, Kasseem
Dean aka “Swizz Beats”.
The Interview Controversy this story I had to throw in there because since I waited until December. I wanted to make sure everyone was up to date on everything. Now the movie "The Interview" caused major controversy due to the film's plot where the main characters of the film starring, Seth Rogen and James Franco are supposed to kill the world leader in South Korea. Do I agree with the plot because this is art and it's never going to happen because I am sure these gentlemen know so much better. It will never happen. I do believe it was taken out of context completely. It's a film and why are we getting so upset when it's not real. Now I get the theme yes we would be upset if one of our world leaders in the United States was attacked physically for some reason. You can say anything verbally about someone it's how you react and respond is what really matters at the end of the day. So in the end very happy Sony Entertainment released the film thankfully and everyone now can still see the film which is out right now. I swear you give people controversy and they all start talking =)
