LIl' Wayne Going to Jail

Grammy Award winning rapper, Lil' Wayne, will be heading to jail in February for gun charges. He is expected to head to jail by February 9th, just days after his new CD will be released, "The Rebirth." Lil' Wayne pleaded guilty to possession of a .40 caliber gun that was found on his tour bus in New York City in 2007. He is sentenced to a year in prison in New York but will probably serve 8 months. He potentially could have spent 15 years in jail for each count of criminal weapons possession and possession of a loaded weapon. I for one am glad that Lil' Wayne is only going to serve a year in jail but it's only because he is one of the most famous rap stars out there. Stars are always getting out of trouble due to their star power and money. It is somewhat unfair that if a regular person was to commit the same crimes they would face way more jail time. Lil' Wayne's jail experience will probably be very easy going and he will probably not face any hardships. I bet he will be very popular in jail and a lot of people will stand up for him. This is not the first time that Lil' Wayne is facing criminal charges however. In 2008, he was charged with possession of dangerous drugs and narcotics and got out of the case.

American Music Awards Gone Wild

On November 22nd, The American Music Awards were shown on ABC. When people are watching a music award show they usually tune in to watch to see who wins awards and to watch the performances that are going to take place. The performers at the AMAs, included 50 Cent, The Black Eyed Peas, Mary J. Blige, Janet Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Jay-Z, Eminem, Adam Lambert, and many more. After all the awards that were given out and the all the performances were done the most talked about performance was that of Adam Lambert.

Adam Lambert was the runner-up in American Idol last year. His performance was very shocking and disturbing to many viewers. He had a dancer on a leash, he grabbed another dancer and pushed his head into his crotch simulating oral sex, and then made out with a male band member then flipped his middle finger. This is not someone who should be considered an "American Idol" by any means. Everything that he did was wrong, there are young children watching the American Music Awards with their parents and they have to watch two males make out with each other. That is going to confuse a lot of young viewers and put their parents in an awkward position. It doesn't matter what his sexual preference is, but you don't go on national television and do such vulgar things for the whole country to watch.

Are Social Networking Sites Addicting?

As much as we all love to go on sites like Facebook and Twitter we probably wouldn't admit that we are addicted to them. Although Facebook and Twitter are good because they let us chat with friends and have conversations, people probably spend a lot more time on these types of websites then they really should. These type of sites keep people stuck on computers wasting their time looking at pictures and leaving messages and then people still have the nerve to say they don't have time for certain things. I'll admit that I'm addicted to Facebook. I don't even realize it but as soon as I sit down at my laptop my fingers start automatically typing in facebook.com in the address bar. It's a pretty bad habit. I can also find myself drifting away to Facebook while I'm in the middle of doing school which is a total waste of time. People are addicted to social networking sites without even noticing because they are always on them. These sites are fun to be on but if abused can be a major waste of time. If people spent as much time focusing on something else as some people do on facebook or twitter they might have even enough time to learn a new language.

Poor Old Tiger

For just about the past two and a half weeks now, since Thanksgiving the top golfer in the world, Tiger Woods has been on every news station and in every news paper. A one car accident that Woods was in the early morning after Thanksgiving seemed almost harmless when everyone first heard about it. However, with each day after more and more information about the car accident was found out. Tiger's wife allegedly found out that he had cheated on her and she beat him up. After this happened every day or so another "mistress" that Tiger had slept with was leaked out through the media. In the New York Post they even posted an entire conversation via text message between Tiger and one of his "mistresses."

I think it is wrong that Tiger would cheat on his wife with several women, but it is equally wrong that his personal life is what families are talking about during dinner. I think it is very disrespectful to Tiger Woods that the women he allegedly slept with would sell their stories to news stations or news papers. All they are doing is hurting Tiger's image and I'm not sure if that's what they wanted to do that but it definitely doesn't help his cause. I think it is messed up that the news is allowed leak out to the whole world somebody's personal business. Even if the New York Post was given Tiger's text messages I wouldn't think that they would be allowed to publish them. Those are Tiger's personal text messages that he intended only for one person to see. I wouldn't be surprised if Tiger sued the New York Post for publishing his messages without his consent. I feel bad for Tiger because he has lost some of his sponsors because of all this publicity. It's about time we all leave Tiger alone.

3D is New Best Thing

As we all have noticed, lately more then ever there have been tons of 3D movies that are being released. Why Complain? 3D kicks ass! Watching a regular movie is exciting but when you make it 3D it takes it to another level. What is more exciting then characters and objects flying past your face.

To many people's surprise the 3D experience is coming to your television at home sooner then you think according to NBC. http://www.cnbc.com/id/34131812 In a matter of months all types of television shows will be in 3D, from cartoons to real-world programing. 3D television programs are going to be created by a company in Hollywood that is already off and running called 3Ality Digital. You of course need a new television that is 3D capable to view any 3D shows, but these televisions are being released in several months by Sony, Samsung, LG, Panasonic and Toshiba. When I was younger I would have never thought that in my lifetime I would ever see a television that you could watch 3D shows or movies on. Television just keeps on getting more and more amazing, making more and more couch potatoes everyday. However the technological advances in televisions in the past decade are truly impressive.
