Looks like Miley Cyrus’s younger sister is following in her footsteps. Noah Cyrus, who is nine years old, dressed as- well it looks to be a dominatrix at the 2009 Dream Halloween event in Los Angeles. I am not sure why a nine year thinks they need to dress this way, or why the parents would allow her to step foot out of the house looking like that. The internet is abuzz with backlash over this too mature costume, and I agree with every post. First we have to see sixteen year old Miley grind on a stripper pole at the Teen Choice Awards, now we get to deal with her younger siblings dressing way too sexy. All I wonder when I see this is why does Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus think this is okay? Are they that hungry to get their picture taken and make sure their family is in the news that they will subject their daughters to the media scrutiny that they had to have known was going to follow? What a shame.
Michael Jackson’s This Is It is a hit. The film earned a whopping $2.2 million dollars in the late night screenings in North America, the Associated Press has reported. This Is It is filled with clips of Jackson’s last days, when he was preparing for his series of comeback tours set for London. The rehearsal footage shows Jackson and his dancers perfecting their moves, just two days before his death at age 50. According to the Associated Press, Wednesday’s numbers are predicated to double from Tuesday.
Nicole Richie’s contemporary women’s clothing collection is set to premier in February of 2010. The line is named Winter Kate, after Richie’s daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden. The line will feature mostly tops, vests, and jackets, People.com reports, with colorful vintage-inspired silk, crepe and chiffon. The 37 piece line is inspired by Richie’s own bohemian style, and will also include long slip dresses, asymmetrical short dresses, tunics, a kimono-sleeved maxidress, cotton macrame, suede and silk vests, and a shrunken leather jacket. Winter Kate will be sold in stores such as Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Ron Herman, Intermix and Kitson.
Beth Kendrick’s other titles include: In One Year and Out the Other, Flirting with Pride and Prejudice, Exes and Ohs, Fashionably Late, Nearlyweds, Grey’s Anatomy 101, Everything I Needed to Know About Being a Girl I Learned from Judy Blume, and The Pre-Nup. She also has three published titles under the name Beth Killian: Boy Trouble, Everything She Wants, and Life as a Poser.
Fashionably Late by Beth Kendrick has fashion, celebrities, and romance, all with a witty and clever tone. The heroine has a story to tell, coming a long way from a floundering, boring young woman, to becoming a risk-taking, self aware individual. The supporting characters are well written, with unique tales as well, making Fashionably Late an irrestistible chick lit novel.
The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella has funny elements and charming characters, but the plot is a little out there. Kinsella finds a way to pull it off though, easily drawing me into the story and Samantha’s love interest with the gardener who knows she is not truly a housekeeper, and the element of mystery surrounding that unseen memo costing Samantha her career and promotion. Another witty novel from Sophie Kinsella.
I have to say that I didn’t find Killer Deal quite as exciting and titillating as the first two novels, but I enjoyed following Molly’s story as she tries to get her byline while juggling her boyfriend and personal life. Anderson gives readers another light-hearted read that does an excellent job of mixing mystery and chick lit.
I am so excited to buy Jillian Michael’s Fitness Ultimatum 2009 for my Wii system. This interactive system with The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michael’s has four different types of workouts one can choose: weight loss, strength training, intervals, and hill climb modes. Users are able to set their intensity and duration of workouts. The customization is great on this program, and you can see your statistics such as weight, calories burned; and see gym alternatives, traveling workouts, food substitutions, and cooking tips. This looks like a great workout, and I think it will be more of a challenge than the Wii fit because the variety and customization that users can utilize. I will post my review as soon as I try it out!
