1. Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri
Christina Perri's Jar of Hearts song relates to pretty much every single girl that was played by a boy. Perri sings "And who do you think you are, running 'round leaving scars. Collecting your jar of hearts and tearing love apart." She questions these "players" about the actions they make and the damage made victims. I viewed this song as a very girl empowering song. It's showing everyone that sure we may be sensitive when it comes to the subject of love but that doesn't mean we'll just allow men to walk all over us.
2. I saw the Help in theaters and it's one of the best movies I have ever seen. It takes place in the 1960's during the civil rights acts and African-American slaves have finally had enough and have decided to speak up. So with the help of an open minded white journalist, they in secret begin writing a book of their household secrets. They talked about raising the white children, not being able to use the indoor bathroom, having no freedom whatsoever, and the feeling of being looked down upon. With this book many slaves where able to find their voice and leave the horrible situations they were in.
3. Benjamin Breedlove was a senior from Westlake High School right here in Austin, Texas. He died on Christmas Day due to a life long battle with a serious heart disease called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Before he died, however, he made this video that talked about his battle with the disease and how he had cheated death three times already. His most recent trip to the hospital was when he passed out at school and had this vision. He was in a white room with his favorite rapper Kid Cudi and he talked about the peace he felt. He writes "I then looked in the mirror, I was proud of MYSELF, of my entire life, everything I have done. " It's amazing that this 18-year-old could share this intimate feelings with the world. At the very end of the video Ben asks, "Do you believe in Angels and God? I do." Ben's funeral was on December 29th and it was estimate about 1,500 came to show respect, another thousand fans watched live as it streamed on KXAN.
David Tutera stars in this show called My Fair Wedding on the Women's Entertainment Channel. He basically helps girls achieve their dream wedding which otherwise would never have happened. He goes to these bride's homes and listens to their idea of their perfect wedding and then transform it into reality. The latest episode I watched featured a couple that had both lost their jobs due to the economy and had no money for anything. David not only created a beautiful wedding but he also surprised the couple with a honeymoon. David does something few people can do, he makes people's dreams come true.
Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted to cheating on his wife with their house maid and fathering her son. The once loved Terminator and Governor of California was found in a lover's quarrel in the year of 2011. He hid from his wife and children another women and son. It's sad to say that Arnold Schwarzenegger is following the stereotype of celebrities. He has not only betrayed his family but his fans too.
