Attention celebrities

Of late some of the ‘celebrities’ that people look up to in the local entertainment industry have been anything but perfect role models. From claiming to be rolling in the dosh to sleeping around, I can’t help but feel disappointed in their behaviour. Why would you want to tell the world how rich you are? Surely if you’re that rich you’re not actually so because you’re bragging and trying to prove a point. Also why with HIV/Aids stats the way they are in South Africa would you want to boast about sleeping around? Seriously you’re no hero by boning the world, you really aren’t. You’re irresponsible and setting a bad example. People look up to you, people respect your work… Don’t go and stuff it up by becoming too caught up in your lap of luxury!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no prude. If you’re earning millions I’m glad for you. It makes me want to work hard too because I want that too, but be humble about it. Let your wealth roll out in other ways. As for sleeping around, do what you have to do. Do it safely, that’s fine, but don’t take to Twitter to make it known how many people you’re with on a regular basis!

And I will not mention names because I don’t feel like giving you yet another platform to boast and brag. I also don’t feel like it is necessary. The message is clear enough. Thanks, that’s all!

Amy Winehouse is dead

Soul singer Amy Winehouse is dead. According to reports out of the UK, the “Rehab” singer was found in North London apartment. The police are treating the case as “unexplained”. The star, who struggled with drug and alcohol abuse, was recently booed offstage at a concert recently for allegedly being under the influence.  Terribly sad news.  More to follow on this sad news in the days to come.

Lindsay Lohan not going to jail

It has been quite the year for old Lindsay Lohan. The star has been to rehab, come out of rehab. Relapsed, returned to rehab, returned to work (for a minute) and then she was embroiled in some necklace incident, in which the outcome was that she was sentenced to house arrest. So she has been pretty quiet, which isn’t a bad thing right? In fact the only sign of Lindsay we’ve all seen is the Internet commercial that surfaced earlier this week and a few paparazzi shots of her reading scripts and standing on the balcony of her Venice beach loft.

Well that was until it’s believed she flunked an alcohol test last week. As a result of the failed test, the star was ordered to appear in court earlier. It must be stated that in both tests Lindsay did test negative for drugs, which is good. Has she learned her lessons with drug usage? We can only hope so! With regard to the drinking, her lawyer told reporters on the scene that she was not breaking the terms and conditions of her probation, as alcohol is a legal substance and it wasn’t the booze that the judge was worried about. So in short LiLo has been ordered back into her loft to serve out the rest of her sentence. She is not allowed more than one guest at the apartment, besides her family according to TMZ.

Learn Beyonce’s “Move Your Body” Let’s Move! Flash Workout

Superstar Beyonce is moving up the charts quickly with his phat hit, Girls (Who Run The World), but she’s also throwing her support behind a good cause too. Beyonce has pledged her support of American First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! Initiative to help curb childhood obesity. There’s an event happening next week Tuesday, where many middle schools around the US will participate in the Let’s Move! Flash Workout. You and many others can learn the choreography above with the help of Beyonce’s “Get Me Bodied” track. 

CHECK OUT BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE VIDEO.

This is a great initiative that should become more global. Children eating badly, not exercising and becoming lazy in front of the TV is causing obesity rates to increase rapidly. This isn’t good or healthy, so let’s try become more aware of what we eat, choose the healthier options rather than the grease. This isn’t to say that you can’t enjoy a burger, it must just be done in moderation and with a healthy balance of exercise. Veggies aren’t your enemies
