New Movies 2009

For the last couple of months I have been seeing a lot of great movies in theaters. I am recommending that you please go see them. There are too many good movies in theaters now. I recommend to you blog followers. Here they are "Obsessed" starring Idris Elba and the talented Beyonce Knowles, "The Soloist" starring Mr. Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr., "Star Trek", "Fast and the Furious", and for you girly girls "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past". One of these movies is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and you will enjoy them. Take your man to see "Fast and the Furious", take your girls to see "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past", take your friends to see the other two and that guy or girl who may be a bit of a nerd and was a Trekkie or a Star Wars or any science fiction fan take him or her to see that. I think they are all really good. Beyonce killed it in "Obsessed" because she stepped outside of her role of being a singer. She did not sing once in this movie even which was different to see her in a role not related to her profession. I knew the weekend I went to see it she was going to make the movie Number 1. I am not surprised at all. I am overjoyed and happy for her.

The Soloist starring the man I met about six months ago Mr. Jamie Foxx all I have to say is he did the damn thing. He took it to a whole another level. I am so proud and happy for him. He did a great job.

My own reaction to the economy and the stimulus plan 2009

The economy has been affecting everyone around the world. People have been selling items old and new to find ways to make extra money and looking for part time jobs as well. The economy has affected me personally with unemployment in my household. We have had some set backs and we have had to make some sacrifices. However, we are finding ways to keep a positive attitude towards what comes against us right now. In President Barack Obamas's stimulus plan for America. His stimulus plan talks about making college students tuition more of an increase which would be a bit of a burden on us because any increase financially would be a problem for me. I would like to see this economy change so that we all can benefit from it. Everyone wants and needs more money. Hopefully this time around people will know how to spend it differently. We will know how to spend it wisely. It has affected me a lot because just seeing how life has been within this decade everything is different for me and my family. Times were great in 2000 and 2001. Now in the last three years there has been a rough patch for us. We have had to look at other ways to have access to what we want and need. It has affected us as much as the next person who is suffering and dealing with the economy. Watching news programs, reading articles, and hearing stories about people's personal experience with job loss and the lack of funds for others. It affects people emotionally and psychologically. It has changed many people's behavior and caused them to go to drastic measures. I hope that the economy will get better one of these days. I pray that it will and that my family and everyone will be able to see more progress in the future.

"The Hills" World Premiere last night

Hello Hola, and Buon giorno!,  my blog followers!

Did anyone catch the Hills last night on April 6, 2009? Well my fellow blog watchers I certainly did. How can I miss my show. (Laughing ) I have been a fan since day one. I love how the producers and writers are trying their best to get Lauren Conrad and Heidi Pratt back together again. It was a shock to see them kind of awkward around one another yet so comfortable. They truly do have a friendship that might stand the test of time. I wonder if it's because after their break-up as friends is it because all of a sudden they miss one another. Or is it simply the both of them need each other now. Or let me guess of course the ratings. Maybe "LC" will wake her up and she will see what a real jerk Spencer really is or maybe Heidi will move on or she will have her cake and eat it too. You never know. I was just glad to see them together again. Especially after such a long hiatus from one another. And my did everyone look fashionably fly. It's interesting that even with the economy suffering still for us middle class folk. The Hills ladies are still keeping it G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S (yeah). I hope to see more of their reunion of their friendship and hopefully they will be a little more economic wise with the times today. Until the next episode of the Hills...I will have more to gossip about. But for now I will keep you posted for more with the Life and Times of Ms. Chloe J. Besos and Bacios!

Soon the Hills won't be alive anymore...goodbye

"The Hills" one of my favorite television shows is in it's final season on MTV. "The Hills" have been popular among tweens, teens, college students, and even grandparents! People have found the show entertaining because of the various topics that occur throughout the show. The show has caused fashion trends, drama, gossip, and water cooler conversations. The Hills which is a spin-off of Laguna Beach with Lauren Conrad aka "LC", Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Kristin Caviller, Stephen, all of those fabulous people my friends and I have come to love since their high school graduation in 2004 until the show ended a couple years later in 2006 when Conrad received an offer from MTV for "The Hills" is now turning a final chapter. Conrad is now 23 years old with a fashion label under her belt, a fashion degree, a television career, and has become one of the most popular "It" girls in Hollywood. She has made a name for herself. Long after "The Hills" closes she will be successful with many opportunities probably. It's kind of sad because you watch people grow up who are your peers in front of you. Then you have to let them go. "The Hills" became my replacement for "Sex and the City" although it's less risque. It has become apart of me and my friends lives because we almost wanted to emulate them. We wanted to be like the "Heidis", "Audrinas", and "Whitneys" of the show. Now that Whitney has her own show "The City" which debuted last year. It has taken off and people are enjoying it. I am glad to have been apart of watching a show that made me want to feel glamourous and live out in Laguna Beach, Hollywood, or The Hills. I will certainly miss it and I wish them all the best.

Meeting Mr. Jamie Foxx

I met Jamie Foxx "the renaissance man" actor, singer, comedian, and Oscar winner over the winter break last year on December 16, 2008. I remember now because it was his birthday as well as one of my best friend's, Marisa birthday also. Jamie Foxx is an artist on J Records that Mike Baril my stepdad and the man who has invited me to many musical events (smile) is a promotional director for J Records promotes. We went up to Power 105 (105.1 on radio stations )first. He was promoting his album, Intuition. I was so nervous to meet him but Mr. Foxx he is very handsome, polite, and you can tell why he is a ladies man. I think this was probably one of the best days of my life. It gave me an experience that I will treasure because I love music. My mom calls me a "radio brat" because I have grown up around it going to at least twenty concerts and other events. It's been an amazing experience to meet people who you watch on television or listen to and then see them directly infront of you. It's bizarre but fun at the same time. He told me I have a very pretty name which I am pleased and even more proud of. (Now, that he said it =) ). We first stopped downtown where he did an interview with Malika on Power 105.1 and he promoted his album, Intuition. As Malika interviewed him I found a few things about Mr. Foxx he likes curvy women, he truly is a funny man. He went into the right profession for sure. Then next he was off to Music Choice to do some television promoting for them as well. I really wasn't supposed to be there. However, I felt like it was one of those moments where it's the right time, right place kind of thing. I would love to work there but unfortunately the timing was a little off. =( However, it gave me the insight that when you are in a moment like that. Seize the day and take hold of it and don't turn back. As I watched him on television being interviewed for Music Choice trust me I took notes. 1) Make the person feel at ease and calm, 2) Make them feel comfortable, 3) Compliment them 4) Don't ask about any drama 5) Keep it right to the point 6) Remember they're just people too. 7) Have fun! He was such a nice guy as well as his team his managers, stylist, and so on. Music Choice even decorated the room with balloons and cupcakes in honor of his birthday and release of his album. It was incredible to be there and fun. I encourage you all to buy his cd as soon as you can or download it for for all of you ITunes lovers. "Blame It" is blowing up the airwaves and "She Got Her Own" still is too. Tell all of your friends and family pick up Intuition! Makes a great Easter or Mother's Day gift =)

"Frugal and Fashionable" Recessionitas

I heard the other day someone mention the word "Recessionitas" when I watched BET's Rip the Runway annual fashion show pretty clever. We are in a recession right now truly we are and when you start seeing people dress differently, wearing older clothes, running to thrift shops, or wearing things at lower prices. It's time to figure out how to save money. I need and of course everyone around the world needs to save money. It almost makes me feel like why the heck didn't we think of this earlier. Everyone lets save money now instead of spending on things we really do not need. So for all the fashionista divas here is some advice on how to save money. Some very fun places to shop at for my recessionita divas. For those of you who want to stay looking fly and fabulous. Why not Target? Target has amazing prices where you can buy high end designers like Alexander McQueen, Isaac Mizrahi, and more all to save money. Forever 21, Marshall's , KMART, Charlotte Russe, H&M. These are all stores that can keep your pockets flowing full of money while you are on the go. Look into it.

Chris Brown and Rihanna's relationship drama

The day I heard about their fight which was probably the morning everyone else heard it. It was unbelievable for me to hear the story. It was shocking but at the same time disappointing because who knew that the good guy, pop/rand b star and kid would actually do something to almost mess up his career. When I first found out I was extremely shocked because his girlfriend is extremely beautiful and talented why mess her up. However, when I heard the news programs such as MTV, CNN, all the gossip blogs, the newspapers I thought this can't be actually happening. It's like being in a really bad movie when you see your peers and favorite celebrities going through their own relationship drama and problems. I was extremely shocked. I couldn't believe it actually happened because I saw a side of Chris Brown that people probably did not expect to see. I did hear actually last year he was being interviewed by Tyra Banks on her show last summer and he was saying he had witnessed seeing his mother being abused as a child. Who knew it does actually carry on with a person those memories and those emotions can affect you. I am sure he did not intentionally mean to take any anger out on her at all. I am sure he didn't mean it period probably. What I do believe is that it's a wake up call for all of the young people to see that people especially celebrities are just people. No matter if they have sold 20 million cds or people have downloaded all their music, bought their paraphenalia. At the end of the day people are human and they cannot accept the fact that things happen and you have no control over it sometimes. Since they are back together now after a month I believe it's a warning for all of the ladies in relationships to make sure your man treats you fairly. He gives you the time and love that you need. He's not jealous, unsupportive, or never wants to lift a finger on you at all unless it's affectionately. I believe that with their case because they are so young and they are successful their fans will want to see them happy. I wish them the best and I hope that after everything passes they will both be happy and have a good and happy relationship. They deserve it and they are too talented. Plus what goes on in their relationship is their business you really don't want people to speculate and form opinions. No one knows what really happened that night. So until the both of them ever come forward and discuss it openly. I'll just keep on listening to the real authentic newspapers report accurate news.
