Gossip Girl's new episode viewed yesterday evening and it was very interesting. Jenny conflicting with being Queen J or not. Serena trying to figure out a way to tell her mom about her not going to brown, uncomfortably using Rufus (You have to see it). Lily returning ordering Serena to go to Brown. Blair reviving her high school roots with teenagers of Constance. And Chuck defying Blair just to remind her who she is and that he loves her (Will make you scream for joy). But ultimately what got me was Hilary Duff being apart of the cast now. Maybe it's for a short period of time, but just in this episode, I wouldn't mind her appearance and company. She plays the character Olivia; who is an actress on a popular television show or movie trilogy. She meets Dan (Lonely boy); who knows little to nothing on who she is, and she tells him her name is Kate. Besides the point, Hilary Duff has progressed into a beautiful young lady. I remember seeing her a year or two ago and she was so thin and she looked pretty sick. But now, she has a little meat on her bones and looks phenomanal in my opinion. She looks herself when she played "Lizzie McGuire." II'm glad she's back in the light and on one of my favorite show and I know everytime I see her, I will sing Lizzie McGuire theme song in my head. Welcome Back Hilary, Welcome Back!
Good evening readers! I know we have not took the time to inform you all on things, but duty calls. So I come to thank you for sticking with us and this and a couple of following post will be our last until further notice. School and personal life situations can take a lot of your time and it has with us. S sends his apologies and I, too, apologize for everything and hope to inform you all later in the future.
We had our doubts about the Family Guy 2.0 series, The Cleveland Show, but ya'll tuned in, giving it big ratings for it's debut.
The new animated sitcom brought in 9.4 million viewers (only slightly down from Family Guy's 10.2 million viewers) and it won second in the night with adult audiences. (All of the real men were watching FOOTBALL!)
Says Perez.
It was quite okay, it needs to be living up a bit, or a lot, but by far Family Guy was hilarious. Still nothing will kill my love for Glee!
So I had just got back to my aunt's house to go to school yesterday and I was awaiting the Premiere of The Cleveland Show and a message in the bottom right corner popped up. It was reminder of a documentary on the "American Nazis." While I denied to watch it because of TCS and FG premieres, we switched back and forward during commercials and what I saw was very, um, strange. I've noticed racism (I'm black people parents and schools walk you through it everyday of your life, until their gone) before and even saw the movies and stuff, but I have never really saw anything so recent. Check this out.
Today, I searched for the video and came across a forum speaking about it and about something else that viewed before it. It was of the Black Panther Party (Which is just as sick as the other racial parties) and I want to see it, so I'll post some info on it when I read and see it.
I, myself am a proud graduate of Fenger Academy, won't give my name, but I have witness many things in my four years at Fenger. Fights after fights happened constantly, but there has never been anything as brutal as what you are about to witness. My prayers and remorse goes out to the family of Albert...
Chicago - Bond was denied Monday afternoon for three teens charged with murder in the beating death of a 16-year-old boy Thursday afternoon near Fenger High School in the Far South Side Roseland neighborhood.
Silvanus Shannon, 19; Eric Carson, 16; and Eugene Riley, 18, all of Chicago, are charged with one count each of first-degree murder, according to Cook County State's Attorney's office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton. Carson is being charged as an adult, and all three are scheduled for a bond hearing at noon.
Security around the school also have been increased after the incident.
A video obtained by FOX Chicago News helped Chicago Police in their investigation.
Derrion Albert, 16, was killed Thursday afternoon while walking home from school.
The honor-roll student was three blocks from Fenger High School when, witnesses said, gang members who were in the middle of fight started beating Albert.
Students said Albert was a smart, quiet kid who didn't hang out with others and was not in a gang.
Chicago Police told FOX Chicago News that the student who hit Albert with a board is now in police custody, and is being questioned.
A number of other students were picked up earlier Sunday afternoon.
Police said they are trying to figure out why the rival gangs are fighting and why Albert was savagely beaten.
Police and Chicago Public Schools are planning to boost security at Fenger Monday.
Three other students were beaten Thursday. One student, a senior at Fenger, had his jaw was broken. And he has already talked to Chicago police about who was out there and why students, some as young as 14 and 15 years old were fighting.
Security cameras in the area picked up some of the images fighting, but no faces were visible. Faces did, however, show on the camera of a man who caught the fighting on video. That man is also being questioned by police Sunday night.
Derrion Albert's mom said witnesses told her he was "trying to help another student and kind of got mixed in with the crowd of the fight and he was hit.”
A senior who witnessed the whole thing said the melee lasted less than five minutes.

My Own Thoughts: Was it actually worth killing someone over something so pathetic. I can give us South Chicagoan the benefit of the doubt because it is SO hard and depressing, but this was by far too much. This was not the first time a teenager was killed in the land of violence. We have to make things better or they're only going to get worse. This is our future we are watching, crumbling right before us. It's about time we do something about this.
I know readers, five days of no news? Pretty insane to do when having a blog, but things have been hectic. Internet is down so I'm pratically out of luck until I get to school and S is super busy AT school, yeah life sucks pretty much. Just bare with us because when I get time or S get time to really get down to business, it will raise some eye brows.
How can I say this without being too over excited. GLEE WAS AWESOME!
I don't know what it is about Glee, but this show is by for AWSEE! It started off a little slow, but by time you actually want to turn, someone's window get busted, literally. ANTM was also good and for them to actually have a cast of short models is kind of, yeah that. They are beautiful girls and I hate to see them each get cut every week until ANTM is chosen.
Well, just had to post something honestly and just got out of class so later bitches!
Who would've ever thought eating your OWN words would taste so sweet!The CW last week line up was a little dry and even after the dry ep this week of GG I thought it may be the end of the world sooner than ever. But yesterday was a huge turn after viewing two shows who's premieres didn't cut it for me. Well, their second eps were phenomenal.
90210 was great last night, Naomi's bitch of a sister took the cake for making it as juicy as it was. And Naveed or what ever the hell his name is, really pissed me off last night and I loved it.
I told everyone in my earlier post last week that Melrose Place was horrible, but was going to give it a second chance. You want to know opinion? Outstandingly fantastic drama (standing ovation). This episode actually went there, from prostitution to the 5th power, it was amazing. Ashlee Simpson's acting is way better than Kristen Stewart's on Twilight (Total drag K-Stew, but I still love you and will be at the movies on the release of New Moon), she did nice. The character Ella is who I favor over them all, she gets what she wants when she wants it and that's toats hot, here's my number.
You know what they say: "Once you go black, you end up in a wheel chair." Wow, maybe that's why a lot of white girls don't date black guys.
The lesson here is don't judge a book by it's cover, view the index!
I've wasted so much time napping while in college. Pictured above is me and one of my bro's during an unscheduled midday nap session.I have a few things in my mind grapes that I'm going to deff gonna post about if I ever get out of my rut, but until then I'll just say that I love the picture Jae put up because when you are in college (at least at state school as I am) it is totally normal to see folks napping in the Library. Been there done that. But yeah, I have one more class today then Theater run crew from 4:30 til Midnight and plenty of homework to keep me busy indefinitely. So guess I'll just see you when I see you, readers.
I know some are wondering where the hell is 'S.' Well my BFFN (Best Friend For Now) has been totally busy, talking up to his neck in school work. He will be posting soon, no worries and he will be bringing bullshit with the Melrose Place thing with him, but until then we can't wait for his great return.
Gossip Girl premiered yesterday and it was.... okay. I like wonderful, great, fantastic, but all I got was, meh and from the looks of critics and viewers, many were disappointed.
New York Daily News - Cristina Kinon 88/100 While it remains to be seen if Gossip Girl will take the plot plunge "The O.C." did after its first season, the beginning here is encouraging
Los Angeles Times - Mary McNamara 80/100 Gossip Girl is eye candy, and mind candy, as pretty as a perfectly prepared martini--one that some nasty, picture-perfect have-it-all may or may not have drugged.
The New York Times - Alessandra Stanley 70/100 It's a sleek, glossy, musically enhanced soap opera centered on wealthy, gorgeous high school students who connive and cavort to the sound of Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Peter Bjorn and John, Angels & Airwaves, and Timbaland.
Variety - Brian Lowry 60/100 Gossip Girl hardly breaks any new ground.
New York Magazine - John Leonard 30/100 I don’t care whether Serena (Blake Lively) and Blair (Leighton Meester) can ever be best friends again after what happened with Blair’s boyfriend before Serena ran off to boarding school is not just because I’m an old fart.
Chicago Tribune - Maureen Ryan 30/100 But it's not just that the Gossip Girl cast lacks chemistry. Among these characters and threaded through these predictable, thin stories, there's precious little of anything that approaches sweetness, kindness, altruism or heart.
Chicago Sun-Times - Doug Elfman 25/100 It's one of the worst new series--but for its cardboard acting and writing, not for the morals.
Harsh right? Gossip Girl started out as a phenomenal show, but the seasons after are treading towards cancellation. It would break my heart to such outcome, but it give me a chance for my OWN tv series to take their spot, just saying. XOXO

**UPDATE** Not only was the premiere of Gossip Girl was a drag, but the ratings were terrible. Word from Perez says the show's ratings were down 36%. down from season 1 or season 2 (Give me a break readers I'm at school). Well, from the look of things, GG might be on it's way to extinction.

"Patrick Swayze, who seamlessly blended sensitivity and brawn in roles as diverse as a dance instructor in Dirty Dancing and a surfing bank robber in Point Break, has died after playing a role that demanded more of his courage and determination than any other: cancer patient.
The 57-year-old star of Ghost and The Outsiders, who was nominated three times for an acting Golden Globe, endured a nearly two-year battle with pancreatic cancer. Swayze's publicist said he died Monday with family at his side, according to the Associated Press.
After Kanye's disrespect to beautiful and talented, country singer T-Swift and the VMA's in general, a party was present and there was a fight?!
The Most popular urban site Mediatakeout.com posted that Jay-Z and Beyonce got into a heated arguement and he left with Rihanna. SAY WHAT?! Here's the story.
"MediaTakeOut.com just got wind of some EXPLOSIVE NEWS!!!! Apparently Kanye's outburst during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech has caused more trouble than he could have imagined.
According to one of MediaTakeOut.com's entertainment industry insiders, it caused a HUGE BLOW UP between Jay Z and Beyonce.
The insider, who asked to remain anonymous, told MediaTakeOut.com that soon after Kanye's outburst - MTV network execs were furious. They asked Kanye to go out on stage and apologize - which he refused. Instead, our insider explained, Kanye chose to leave the event.
But here's where things get interesting. While all this was happening backstage, MediaTakeOut.com learned that Jay Z was right there with Kanye. According to our insider, 'Jay Z was upset with the way [MTV] treated Kanye ... so when he saw Beyonce do what she did with Taylor - he saw it as a very disloyal move.'
And that disloyalty wouldn't go without being punished. According to our insider, Jay LEFT THE EVENT without Beyonce. He reportedly called up Rihanna - who did not attend the Awards show - and attended at least 2 of the VMA afterparties with her instead."
DAMN Jay was it that serious to leave Beyowulf like that. I thought she did the right thing, I still don't like her ass, but Damn. MTO said they will keep everyone updated on the matter.

The VMA's was particularly precise this year. What do I mean about this, you ask? I don't even know, but what I do know is how rude Kanyeezy can be. Yesterday, I was watching the VMA's on my cousin's 13 inch standard television (I know right) and Taylor Swift took the best female video award which I thought was totally bogus, I mean it had GaGa's name all over it. Well, Beyonce was in the same catagory and lost to Taylor Swift. What ever, it happened, right? Well, while Tayls was speaking Kanye got on stage, gentlely grabbed the mic and apologized for interrupting and blurted, well just take a look below.
Kanye is such a little whiney bitch, rude, and can't simply shut his mouth, hm :-) he will go far! And a tip to T-Swift; you should have made a smart remark when his tired ass left off stage. Kanyeezy is still on of my favorite rappers, but he has to do better than this. He making Chicago black males look like douche, I know I am, but about the nice guys walking throughout the windy city... Oh, there is none.
--Jae
**UPDATE*** Kanye apologized on Twitter. It's too late Kanyval, the damage is done you jerk. The chi still love you though.

Sorry S, but you made me do this. I want to like Melrose, so I'm going to give it another shot. But just as I felt that premiere was not good, the ratings were terrible.
Glee had over 7.2 million viewers, Wednesday on Fox, while Melrose Place and So You Think You Can Dance didn't do so well.
According to Examiner.com, Melrose Place was unsuccessful in ratings this past Tuesday night. The now-canceled show Privileged (Which I would prefer and think was awesome) even received 37% higher ratings with their debut in the same spot.
Now look, I want to get to know MP and maybe it will be good, but I hope people actually watch it. I don't like the camera scheme or what ever, it looks like All My Children & One Life to Live. My bffn S really likes this show and I hope I begin to like it too, but till then Glee rocked! Suck on that!
P.s. XOXO Gossip Girl Monday Sept. 14 at 9/8c on TheCW Heroes at 8/7 on NBC
Greetings our wonderful readers of 2morrow! I'm happy to announce that Glee is a awesome show. Now I have been very disappointed by two most talked about tv shows. 90210 n Melrose Place, were very dreadful. Well, 90210 made me gasp and smile? but it was sort of dry. Is it just me? or does the girl that plays Annie always get raped. In Degrassi, same thing, its kind of lame seeing the same thing happpening to the same person, exactly the same way-kind of lame. I don't remember Melrose, but I'll check the next ep to see if its any better.
What's more important? Is Glee. I didn't know what to expect, toats awseeness! The Pilot was by far great and the second ep slash series premiere was promising and delivered on most counts. Though it being a comedic musical, the drama is there (Way better than Degrassi). I for one love the joy Glee brings and hope it will be a good season. Glee was good, but Gossip Girl still can be on the top of my list.
Tomorrow The Vampire Diaries will premiere, sealed with blood will you watch?

****S's input: You're a bitch, just like Collie! I loved Melrose Place. it has the potential to go there, it probably won't, but still... Anyway maybe it's just to mature for you. Whatever, everyone else, I say give Melrose place a try, it was actually good. My next post will have the deats (details) !*****
Season 2 of 90210 premiered tonight, and word on the street is that it was not quite as good as it could have been. I know this because I had a concept for the season premier that I was told was better. I'm not deluded. It probably wasn't(lol)but i makes me wonder what does it really ( I mean really, really)take to make it as a professional writer nowadays. I know, breaking through as a script writer is really hard and I have nothing but respect for those who make it professionally, but it sucks that t.v writers some times come up with such crap. I'm a fan of numerous screenplay writer's blogs, and I know the studios and networks notes and all kind of things, make life hard for those who do it. Few writers truly have creative control over other people's series, but sometimes I just feel like writers slack a lot. I enjoy the show 90210 not really because of the stellar quality of the series but because it is the subject matter I am interested in writing. Teen and young adult sci-fi/fiction (I would love to work on the staff of a CW show). And I feel like when a pure crap episode comes out, it really hurts the legitimacy of the industry. I mean, there is only so much a writer can do, but is there really any excuse for what happened on Buffy season 7? For those of you not in the know, lets just say Buffy The vampire slayer (the t.v series) could be great at times but season seven was a train wreck. Why can't Heroes get back on track? Why did Phoebe's baby daddy storyline on Charmed last so long instead of giving her back her damn powers? Where is your respect for your audience writers? If you don't care then how did you get your jobs? I don't know and it just makes me sad is all. there is a part of me that really wants to be a screenplay writer, but I feel like getting through the doors aren't about really caring for the craft and entertaining people, just about who you know and having enough money that you can support your coke habit, I mean writing career. Oh well love you anyway.
I had a blast this weekend, but I didn't really get anything done. Before the weekend started I had a whole plan to take it easy and follow some academic pursuits. That did not happen. I need to learn some self control I guess, but I'm just so lackadaisical that I have a hard time getting things done. Bad trait to have, I know, but I don't want to get all EMO in this blog post. I actually just wanted to highlight some of the awesomeness that was this weekend. Thursday Night: Went to friend's keggar, almost got into a rumble on the street Friday: Worked on a group project (so technically some school work did get done), hosted a get together for a friend's 21st birthday, ended the night Hanging with my friends Sully and Amanda. Saturday: A group of my friends got a party bus and went to the bars. The bus attendant was outrageous and gave us an impromptu show (Think PG rated stripping but without actual nudity. It was weird and she was missing a tooth but I was already intoxicated so It was all in good fun) lost my friends at the bar and ended up getting a ride from a friend of a friend, texted my kinda ex, because I was drunk, ran around in the rain and missed out on a slip and slide some people I know were doing in the rain. that progression is a little fuzzy. Sunday night: Back At Sully's apartment, because Amanda's dad was in town so he sponsored a night of Jager shots, beer pong(I didn't play because I suck at the game) and crackers and cheese. Today: I was suppose to do Keggs and Eggs for breakfast but instead watched the Evil Green Ranger Saga with my roommates. That was my weekend in a nut shell.
Just so y'all know some of the Naked Cafe lingo: Fit= it's slang, from England. It basically means the same thing as hot, only it's better because it's foreign. Y'all = You all Toats= Totally. Obvs= obviously Sitch= Situation (clearly I'm far busy to bother to use full words) "You're a bitch, just like Collie!" (That is kind of an inside joke but it means that someone is flipping out, If any one watched Real World:Denver, they might get it.) "We're gone do it, we're gone do it!" (Again inside joke. These last two are more about the delivery then the actual substance) more if I think of them... N big D(no big deal)
