Bruce Jenner

Ok, so I know I'm weird, but I like him. I feel sorry for him. When Keeping Up With The Kardashians first started, you could just tell he was the moral center of the whole nutty klan. He was grossly outnumbered and after 22 years of marriage to the "momanger" , Kris Jenner, he got out. 

Bless him. 

Instead of doing what most of us thought he'd do, chase women, be a pig, gain weight, or lose weight. Bruce is going to become a woman. 

I have no words. 

Did anyone see this one coming? 

I sure didn't! I wish him well and hope he becomes a happier and more fulfilled in his new life. 

 I'm also looking forward to seeing how all of this plays out in the media.

It's been a while....

I haven't 'ranted' in  while, not because there's nothing to rant about-there is- but I've been busy!

Ok, these might be all 'older' news, but I must rant anyway...hang on tight!


MILEY CYRUS

Ye Gods.
Twerking....    
 She was a wildly popular singer/tv star when she was a child, and now, she's a nearly naked, tongue-wagging, drug taking, twerker. Improvement? Not hardly.

 I can't say that I'm a prude. I love Prince, Lady Gaga, Fifty Shades of Grey, etc, but this is so stupid, I almost can't stand it. Kelly Clarkson said something to the effect of "off key strippers" to describe the horror that was the VMAs and she's just about right.

Grow the hell up, Miss Cyrus. Put your tongue in your mouth, slap on some clothes and then try to sing. Maybe I'll listen. Maybe.

It's been a while, I have rants to catch up on....

So, I've been busy with real life and haven't had the time to rant like I would normally do. Here's a few things that have driven me crazy and yes, some of these things are 'old news'...

1. Why did all critics when reviewing The Hunger Games lash out at The Twilight Saga? They have nothing whatsoever to do with one another. ENOUGH. IDIOTS!

2. Fifty Shades of Grey is a great read. It's not for everyone, however, but if you have an open mind and aren't easily offended, read it. I own the trilogy and plan to read it again.

3. I had a while there when I didn't get FOX. My cable company was blocked from airing the network because the affiliates wanted more money. Greedy jerks! I had to spend money to see Glee several  times and I DID NOT LIKE THAT. It's not right. On my birthday, May 17th, I got an email telling me that FOX was now airing. That was a nice gift!

4. I'm still hooked on all the Kardashian shows. Why? I don't know. They are all odd and way too good looking, but I can't stop watching.  Sometimes, they embarrass me with the way they behave, but I love the shows and will watch as long as they air.

5. Linsday Lohan is going to play Liz Taylor in a film? HELLO???? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO AND OH HELL NO. Who is the idiot that hired her? FIRE THEM! She looks nothing like her, is trouble with a capital T and has little to no talent. RECAST THE FILM YOU IDIOTS!

6. Do any of you read? I created a great website for fans of all books called BookWormHotSpot.com. I'd love it if you would all join up. I'm running a challenge on the site for Fifty Shades of Grey right now. (shameless plug, no rant, sorry!)

7. If you do like to read....have you ever tried audiobooks? I'm hooked on them. I don't have a lot of time to read, so I tend to get audiobooks from my library. If you haven't a clue what to try first, let me give you some suggestions: Sudden Mischief by Robert B Parker (it's a fun, suspenseful, romantic, and humorous 'read'), BossyPants by Tina Fey (SO FUNNY!!), The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and the rest of the trilogy (can't beat this story!), Dead Until Dark and the other Sookie Stackhouse books (Vampires, Romance, Humor and Horror all rolled into one....TRUE BLOOD, people!), and more. Want more suggestions? Join BookWormHotSpot.com LOL!

8. Is it just me or are most statuses on FaceBook either whiny, preachy or just plain offensive? I don't offended easily, but sometimes, people are just rude or gross. I'm sick of all the complaining that some people do, (I've been known to do it too!), OMG, the preaching! I see tons of posts about religion and they drive me nuts. They are either holier than thou, atheists, or just dumb. Politics makes people mad. I don't mind that, cause it doesn't offend me, so those posts are fine. Some people have unfriended me because I'm not religious enough. COME ON PEOPLE, really? It's so-called religious people like that who turned me off of organized religion. Geez. BTW, I'm Christian and proud of it, but I don't feel the need to judge others or preach to them.

9. I am on Twitter, but I just don't 'get it'. I don't understand the lingo and all. I can't get into it and feel like I'm missing something. Someone care to explain Twitter to me? NO? OK, I'll live. LOL.

That's it for now. I hope you've caught up on my rants now. Have a rant of your own? GREAT! Comment below....

Same old same old...New Rant, Old Subject

I haven't yet read "The Hunger Games", but I will soon. I haven't yet watched the movie based on the best selling book, but I will AFTER I've read the book. I am sure when I do read and watch, I'll enjoy both. I look forward to enjoying both. What I don't enjoy are the endless comparisons to "The Twilight Saga".

I've read all the reviews for "The Hunger Games" and everyone says it's a GREAT movie, but they also compare it to "Twilight". Why? The storylines are nothing alike, the film isn't about romance, and IT IS NOT EVEN THE SAME TYPE OF FILM. So what if both have female leads? So what if they are both based on best selling Young Adult books? So what?

This week's PEOPLE MAGAZINE has a great review of "The Hunger Games" and I was reading it thinking "I must get to reading the book so I can watch the movie!" Then the idiot reviewer stated that Katniss is a much better female role model than 'the insipid Bella Swan'.  Ok, so Bella isn't showy or bubbly, but she is more of a normal teenage girl than I've seen in films. She is normal, not beautiful, not ugly, just plain. She's clumsy-to the point of being a frequent visitor to the ER, she's smart, studious, a loaner. So what if she falls in love? It happens. So what if she wants the boy she fell in love with? It happens. Yes, she does choose to want to be like Edward, but he is sacrificing too. In my mind, Bella is a great character. She is normal, rather dull, and not all that popular. She doesn't drink, take drugs or do anything too bad-except for fall totally in love with a gorgeous vampire. Would I do the same thing in her place? Don't know, but it is FICTION after all.

I'm still tired of being given grief for loving "The Twilight Saga". I can love what I want to. Idiots!

I haven't read "The Hunger Games" yet, and I will, but why keep comparing the books and films to "Twilight"? It's as stupid as comparing "Harry Potter" to "Twilight".

STOP IT!
