December 19, 2007 __Oh Amy Amy Amy__

Amy Winehouse the young UK soul and jazz like singer seems to be making top news stories lately. After being nominated for six Grammys and winning a BRIT award, one would think that she would clean up her act. Yet she continues to make herself look like a mess and seems to get herself into predicaments that the paparazzi enjoys writing about. A resent amusement is her being arrested over the investigation of her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who allegedly is charged for "perverting the course of justice". She was given bail and able to walk out of the police station without a problem. So Winehouse is not the only one that seems to be on the path of destruction but her hubby as well. After wandering around the streets of London in her underwear, the concerns for her well being seem to be rising. Many see her behavior as a cry for help and others such as her mother see her behavior as a result of becoming famous at an early age. With her and Blake being put under enforced seperation and his arrest it is not a surprise to find Winehouse as a damsel in distress.

January 4, 2008 __Mischa Barton and a DUI?__ It is true, the golden girl of the hit series the OC was found in straddling a two lane traffic zone in West Hollywood California. She was pulled over to be found with possession of the substance and also in possession of marijuana. She was arrested and spent 7 hours in jail and was released on $10,000 bail. It is amazing that someone many people look up to can pretty much do exactly what everyone else in Hollywood does. But at the same time everyone is entitled to make a few mistakes. Barton made the same mistakes that Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Richy, and Lindsey Lohan made and the list can go on from there. It has been a while since her name was in the tabloids and this time it was not for looking gorgeous at some party or getting a new boyfriend. It is extremely sad to think she is falling in the footsteps of the rest of the corrupted Hollywood girls and we should all hope that this mishap of hers was a one time thing.

January 11, 2008 __What a disappointment.__ Well last night on January 10, 2008 in Madison Square Garden the home hockey team the Rangers once again gave the fans a disappointing outcome. At first it was all high spirits, the roaring of the crowd for their team was tremendous, and the game began with the intensity that it did not end with. The first period Rangers were winning 2-0 and by the end of the third period the game was 2-6. The amount of chances the Rangers had to score were ridiculous. The hostility was not just on the ice but also in the stands where a few fights broke out and it was exciting to watch.

January 15, 2008 __Singers taking steriods???__ Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Tyler Perry, Wyclef Jean and others are under investigation for steroid use? It's quite absurd to think among the thousands of people an R&B sensation and a hit rap artist could possibly be under the use of steriods...what in the world could be the reasoning for that? It is one thing to hear about baseball players and football players on steriods but to hear about singers and actors using them is unimaginable. According to The New York Times none of the celebrities broke the law but
