Provisional Licenses..

For all of the 16 year olds out there, their 17th birthday is definitley an exciting one. For one, they may get there first car, but most importantly they get their license. Having a license means more freedom, being able to drive yourself whenever you need to go. But, having this provisional license there is certain laws to abide by. Some new drivers do follow the laws, but many do not. For example only one "friend" may be in the car at one time, but as many family members as you want. The new driver must also be done driving between 5:30am-12am. With these laws being broken, statistics are showing more and more fatal accidents with new drivers. Statistics show that each Year over 5,000 teens ages 16 to 20 Die due to Fatal injuries caused Car accidents. About 400,000 drivers age 16 to 20 will be seriously injured. Because of all of the teens breaking the law, a new one has been created. Kayleigh's law, influenced by the death of 16-year old Kayleigh D'Alessio is in affect as of tomorrow May 1st,2010. A red decal must be placed on the front and back plate of a driver with a provisional license. Another change is they must be done driving by 11pm. In my opinion, I think this is a stupid law, and should not have been passed. Teens are still going to drive the same way, it wont change any of that. Also, for most stories about fatal accidents, the driver wasn't obeying the law; maybe if they chose to follow the rules it could have ended up being different. For example: On December 4, 2004, at 3pm in Warrensburg, Illinois, two teenagers were killed in a car accident. Officers learned that the car was going over 100mph, before the driver lost control hitting an embankment before coming to a stop, completely flipped over. My point is made, the teen was going 100mph in probably a 25mph speed zone, he was breaking the law, and it could have been avoided if he was driving more carefully.

ALL DECALS MUST BE ON TEEN CARS BY TOMORROW!!!!!!!

Alrighty all you 17 year olds out there. The misery begins tonight at midnight. All decals must be on cars starting Saturday [tomorrow] . Tonight is our last night to drive until 12, so enjoy it, but BE SAFE. Cops will defiantly be on the prowl tomorrow night pulling over everyone and everything on the road after 11. Its crazy, but its reality and we must follow the law. THIS LAW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AGE!! For all you people that have gotten mixed messages about this law, it doesn't matter if your 18 or 26. IF YOU HAVE A PROVISIONAL LICENSE THEN YOU MUST HAVE THE DECALS UNTIL THE DAY YOU GET OFF YOUR PROVISIONAL LICENSE. For example: if you are 18 years old, but failed your drivers test when you were 17, you must wait an extra 2 weeks to get off your provisional. The reason for this is because you must have your provisional for at least a year whether you are 18 or not.

Good luck with this new law. It sucks for us teens, but we have to deal with it. If you follow the rules now, you won't have to pay later.

Grandmother- Grandson Lovers?!

Living with Catholic parents in Indiana, Pearl Carter was 18 when she became pregnant with daughter Lynette in which her parents insisted she give the baby up for adoption. Lynette's son Phil, 26 years old, came looking for his grandmother after his mother passed away from brain cancer. He reached out to Pearl to contact her and the pair were nervous and apprehensive about meeting each other.

When Phil emailed Pearl a photo of himself, Pearl thought he was handsome and sexy. Confused about her feelings, Pearl talked to a friend who told her about Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) where close relatives meet as adults and are attracted to each other. 'I could now understand my feelings and realise they weren't wrong,' Pearl says.

'From the first moment that I saw him, I knew we would never have a grandmother-grandson relationship,' Pearl remembers happily. 'For the first time in years I felt sexually alive.'

Phil admits that he had the same feelings towards Pearl. 'I wanted to kiss her there and then,' he says. 'My feelings were overwhelming.'

Pearl called Phil into her bedroom on their first meeting and sat him down on her bed and leaned in to kiss him. Expecting rejection, Phil kissed her back and Pearl explained to him about GSA.

Living with Phil as my life partner has been amazing. He cooks and cleans and we make love three times a week. We can't keep our hands off each other' says Pearl.

'Making love to Pearl was a real eye-opener. It was love combined with all this sexual tension that had been building up,' Phil openly explains.

Although Pearl is going through menopause, Phil admits to wanting another child so the pair have hired a surrogate mother to carry their baby with a donor egg.

'I am finally going to be a mum and not forced to give up my child. Phil's going to be a great dad. I never in a million years thought at 72 I'd be "pregnant" and in love with my grandson. I make no apologies and I believe God's given me a second chance.'

The pair makes no apologies about their controversial relationship between grandmother and biological grandson and get laughed at and bullied when they go out and kiss in public.

Phil adds, 'I love Pearl with all my heart. I've always been attracted to older women and I think Pearl is gorgeous. Now I'm going to be a dad and I can't wait.

In my opinion, incest is NOT okay no matter how you "feel" about each other! I find their relationship to be gross and inappropriate but i guess to each is own, right? I wish them all luck with their strange relationship, especially that poor child!

Bret Michaels: UPDATE!

Poison singer, and reality TV star Bret Michaels, is receiving good news today. After suffering a brain hemorrhage and being hospitalized in ICU, he seems to be doing well. The rock star is responding positively to tests and treatments, which is amazing news for him. Bret should be quickly back on his feet, and he is hoping her will be back on the stage! As long as everything goes well, and there are no further complications, he will return to the stage by May 26th! With all that has happened, we wish Bret the best of luck!

Sandra Bullock: MEET MY NEW BABY!

Sandra has recently been even more in the public eye, because of her cheating husband; Jesse James. She has been on a roller coaster so far this year! From winning her first Oscar to the breakup of her marriage. But on the side, and very privately she adopted her first son, Louis.

"He's just perfect, I can't even describe him any other way," Bullock reveals exclusively in the new issue of PEOPLE, announcing that she is the proud mother of Louis Bardo Bullock, a 3½-month-old boy, born in New Orleans. "It's like he's always been a part of our lives."

Sandra, and her husband Jesse had started the adoption process over four years ago and brought him home in January, but kept him a secret until after the Oscars. With all the drama going on, we wish Sandra and her newborn son Louis the best of luck!

Bret Michaels, Hospital Trouble

Bret Michaels, is having more health complications, after his recent appendicitis surgery. Last Thursday, he was rushed to the hospital with a massive headache. Doctors discovered he had a massive sybarachnoid hemorrhage. This is when there is bleeding beneath the thin tissue covering the brain. The 47 year old is currently in critical condition. He went through several CAT scans, MRIs, and an angiogram. Doctors decided Bret should be kept in ICU while the wait for the determination from the tests. For now, there is no new updates, but were wishing this rock star the best of luck!

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Sneak Peek

For a quick look at season 2 airing this Monday, May 3rd, on a new night! (Only 6 more days!!)

Provisional license restrictions

"The law also alters the provisionary restrictions already set forth in New Jersey with the GDL (Graduated Driver's License) system.

Current restrictions:

• Cannot drive between 12:01 am until 5:00 am.
• Can only have one passenger from outside your household.
• Can not use electronic devices while driving such as cell phones, hand held game systems, etc.
• Seatbelts must be worn by everyone in the car.

Provisional license restrictions under law

Revised restrictions:

• Cannot drive between 11:01 pm until 5:00 am.
• Whenever operating a vehicle with a learner's permit, the holder of the permit may only have one additional passenger in the vehicle excluding member's of the license holder's household, except that this passenger restriction shall not apply when either the permit holder or one other passenger is at least 21 years of age.
• Can not use electronic devices.
• Seat belts must be worn at all times.
• Red sticker must be worn on front and back license plates of the car identifying yourself as a teenage driver.

Failure to comply with any of these restrictions results in a $100 fine if pulled over."

******************THIS IS NOT FAIR******************

First of all, it is absolutely ridiculous that teens have to be home at 11. We are almost old enough to be in college, enlist in the military, and vote... BUT NOT DRIVE??!??!?!?!!! Second, its age profiling. It is dangerous. Very dangerous. Girls can get followed, raped, and killed. Its a target that says "hey look at me, I'm underage." I just hope nothing terrible happens with this law.

Kyleighs Law

Staring May 1st,2010 Drivers under age 21, who possess a permit or probationary license, must display the GDL decals when operating a motor vehicle. These red stickers must be placed on the front and back license plates. Drivers must be home by 11pm and also only have one passenger unless with a parent. If these rules are not followed, and the stickers are no present you are subject to a $100 fine.

How long am I required to use these decals?
the question everyone is asking.

It depends on when you first obtained a permit. A driver, under the age of 21, must display the decals during the period when he or she possesses a permit or probationary driver license. The decals are no longer necessary once the driver obtains a full privilege driver license.

What do you think about the new law?

Kate +8

Kate Gosselin was eliminated from dancing with the stars last week. Although that did not mark the end of her reality TV career. It is official, TLC is bringing back Kate Plus 8.

"The proper steps have been taken and the kids are permitted for Kate Plus 8." Thank goodness. And tough luck, Jon. How's your career going?

There is no word weather or not Jon will be featured in the show; considering he was the one to stop it, saying it was exploiting the kids. Many are guessing he will be featured, for the right price.

There are also rumors of a TLC spin off show titled "Twist of Kate". Who knows what will happen with this reality star and her children, but we are wishing her the best of luck!

American Idiot on Broadway

New to Broadway is the stage-musical version of rock band Green Day's American Idiot. The performance includes little dialogue but does include chugged bears, a couple of joints, some syringes of heroin, an overdose, a drug-related suicide and a bout of realistic looking sex on a futon. However, the play is still seen as inevitably corny and critics say it could have used more bite.

Some playgoers say they were huge fans of Green Day but thought the play was garbage. People say the show appeared to be thrown together too fast, the choreography wasn't good, the story jumps around and the plot didn't make any sense. They also feel that the show was a joke, couldn't be taken seriously and contained no real meaning. Several feel that it was the worst thing to hit Broadway and are predicting an early close for the musical. Others disagree and feel that the music was good and the cast was very talented. Some viewers say that the play combines pure entertainment with a powerful message. Although, there are people who left the theater with the impression that the play was alright or even awesome.

White House Staff brings kids to work.

Thursday April 22 was bring your child to work day. Parents usually bring their children to their office or their school, however even the "famous" bring their kids to work. Yesterday, Obama and his wife brought their 11 year daughter to the White House. (I don't understand how that is even work since they LIVE there) But anyway, little Obama's biggest concern is about how to save the tigers. This might seem cute to some people, but what if it becomes our countries biggest concern? COULD YOU IMAGINE? I mean, I don't think this would happen, but you never know. The president can choose to do whatever he wants and he can choose to focus on whatever he wants, so if Obama snaps his fingers then the world starts saving tigers.

BTW* - I personally LOVE tigers, but I feel their are bigger concerns for this country. I feel little organizations can get together and help save the tigers and leave the President to do his regular duties.

Teacup Pot-Belly Pig Trend

Celebrity Paris Hilton, moved on from her love of Chihuahua's to micro pot belly pigs. She has started a new trend after purchasing her new pet Miss Piglette
( Pictured). “Doug and I will be lying in bed, watching DVDs, and she’ll just lie there between us,” Hilton told HELLO. “She’s a little sweetheart and I love her.”She added, “I went online and found these tiny teacup pigs that stay under 12lb when they’re fully grown. They’re incredibly smart, lovable, really clean and litter trained.”

These Micro Pot belly pigs are known to stay under 12lbs when fully grown.
Pigs are extremely smart, and very clean. I also have a teacup pot belly pigs as well. She is much smarter than my two dogs, and is litter trained. Although Paris has maybe started a new trend, we have to think about the damage her last trend caused. Many people wanted Chihuahua's and then after awhile decided they couldn't handle them or simply didn't want them anymore. What if this happens with the pigs? It can cause more problems, which can be bad. But it can also make people have a new love for these exotic animals.

Real Housewives of New Jersey Season Two!

Many fans (including myself) are eagerly anticipating the premier episode of the Bravo TV's series' second season. The first episode of the new season starts on May 3rd on a new night. It was rumored that before the women agreed to do another season they held out for bigger paychecks. (But we're glad they're coming back!) After an explosive first season, the second season is going to be even crazier than the first. On its premier night, Bravo is welcoming back its leading ladies- Dina Manzo, Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita, Danielle Staub and Teresa Giudice, with their families.

Teresa Giudice (my personal favorite!) grew up in Paterson, NJ where she met her husband "juicy" Joe with whom she had her four daughters- Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana. Teresa is known as over the top with her daughters outfits, her own style and larger than life personality. Notorious for the table flip in season one, Teresa isn't the kind of person who is going to put up with people looking to start drama, primarily cast mate Danielle. Danielle, mother of daughters Christine and Jillian, is notorious for "the book" and has been known as the trouble maker of the girls. Many rumors have swirled about this housewife and there has been great controversy over the truth behind the book's allegations. Jacqueline Laurita, the only housewife who is friends with Danielle, has created a rift with her family over her friendship with Danielle. Jacqueline is hailed as the peacemaker of the group and tries to avoid conflicts with any of the girls. She is married to Dina and Caroline's brother Chris and is the mother of daughter Ashley from a previous marriage and has son CJ and new baby Nicholas with her husband Chris. Dina is the mother of daughter Lexi from a previous marriage and is now married to co-owner of the Brownstone, Tommy Manzo. Dina is a former interior designer/event planner and has recently taken time off to spend more time with her daughter and cats- Grandma Wrinkles and Ladybug. As sisters married to brothers, Caroline is married to Tommy's brother Albert who is also co-owner of the Brownstone. Caroline, mother of three children-Albie, Christopher and Lauren, is known as a strong woman, and a feisty spitfire. Both sisters are very involved with charity work and are affiliated with several organizations. (The Carolyn Gable Expect A Miracle Foundation, CROC, (Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer), and Project Ladybug)

By the looks of the previews, this highly anticipated second season seems like it will be sure to please, and the viewers will be very excited to welcome back the leading ladies into their televisions on Monday nights. :)

The Octomom Feels Guilty About Having So Many Kids!

Nadya Suleman AKA The Octomom appeared on Oprah yesterday to clear up her decision to have 8 more children as the single unemployed mother of six!

She commented: “I feel as though I was so caught up with my own childish desires to compensate. I’ve always coveted that connection, that attachment to another being. And the connection felt safer with children than with a significant other, more predictable. The security—I was hungering for the security.”

Her comment on feeling any regret: “We’re surviving. We’re so busy going, going, going, moving, moving, moving, trying to keep up that you don’t have time to think, to reflect, to feel anything. And it is a choice. I own all of the responsibility for my poor choices in the past. Do I regret it? You can’t regret children. But the choices were childish. They were immature. They were selfish. Are we defined by our choices? Our behavior? Our actions? No. I don’t believe that defines our worth.“I feel as though I wasn’t thinking at that time. If I could go back, would I make different choices? Maybe. At this point, I know and I need to teach my children that we need to learn, we need to grow, we need to keep on growing and transcending, and we need to make the best possible choices. And when we make poor choices, all you can do is really, really learn from that and grow from that. Try not to repeat it.”

Oprah's Hidden Life?

Oprah Winfrey is known as the richest and most successful woman of today. She built a billion-dollar empire persuading celebs to average Joes to reveal the truth about themselves. If she can have everyone reveal the truth about themselves.. what about herself?

Oprah is in a relationship with longtime "love" Stedman Graham, but now her rumors are going around about her lesbian crushes on women such as Diane Sawyer. All of these are stories she has manipulated for decades in the name of sensational ratings, according to writer Kitty Kelley's latest biography "Oprah." The book is telling new stories or "secrets" about Oprah's life today and in the past. Some anticipated stories include, sexual abuse she suffered as a child and the poverty she was brought up in. She also went to great lengths to conceal her "lesbian affairs", including large payoffs and publicly attached herself to Graham to appear more normal to her audience of housewives. She sold her body to earn extra money and has even described herself as a teen "prostitute." Either way.. most of us will still love Oprah and all the things she has accomplished so far.

Jersey Shore Season 2?

For all the Jersey Shore fans, they will be back for another season. Despite trying to be canceled by Italian American Groups, MTV decided to still keep the show. Many rumors are going around about a new location and possibly a new cast member. As of right now Vinny Guadagnino let it slip that their new location would be Miami South Beach. But new rumors are being brought back up about them returning to Seaside Heights.
The cast members though, are cashing in on their new "fame". Pauly-d costs $3,000and Mike "The Situation" cost $7,500 per night to be at a club or DJ. Nicole "Snooki" is doing the same thing to cash in on some money. Ronnie and Sammi "Sweetheart" are doing a double appearance and are making around $3,000 also. For JWOWW, it is still unknown how much she is making. These reality stars are using their new found fame to cash in for some bucks.As for the new season, we are going to have to wait to see what happens.

Celebrity Babies

Above is Suri Cruise, daughter of actors Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. This four year old has created a buzz for her fashion sense and style and even has a fashion blog written about her- http://suricruisefashion.blogspot.com/. With many followers interested in what the toddler is going to be wearing next, she is hailed as the world's youngest fashion icon.
Sparrow James Midnight and Harlow Winter Kate are the children of socialite and former party girl Nicole Richie and Good Charlotte front man Joel Madden. Nicole Richie is obsessed with going green and doing everything she can to keep her kids healthy and safe. These celebrity tots use organic food, diapers and clothing. After doing whatever she wanted as a kid, Nicole Richie has strict rules so hopefully Sparrow and Harlow will grow up grounded while still in the spotlight.
Kingston James McGregor Rossdale is the son of singer and fashion designer Gwen Stefani and singer Gavin Rossdale. Hopefully this toddler trendsetter will follow in the footsteps of his parents effortless style. He's been seen rocking trends such as Uggs, motorcycle jackets and skinny jeans.
Above is Leni, supermodel Heidi Klum's daughter from a previous marriage and Henry Guenther Ademola Dashtu Samuel from her relationship with singer Seal. Hopefully, the sibling pair along with younger siblings Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel and Lou Sulola Samuel will follow in their parents' fashion footsteps.

Angelina Jolie is NOT Pregnant. / Beyonce MAYBE??

--Beyonce.....PREGNANT?????

So, could Beyonce and Jay Z be expecting? There are rumors around stating that Beyonce and Jay Z are a few months pregnant will be welcoming a new addition to the already very talented family. Will he/she be a famous singer or rapper? Only time will tell.













**Angelina Jolie is NOT Pregnant!!!

There is no bun in the oven for Angelina and fellow partner Brad Pitt. They still say 6 is enough. Apparently some nutty paparazzi/ crazed fan wanted to make a rumor stating that Pitt and Jolie were expecting a new addition. Jolie is "3 months pregnant" according to the rumor- FALSE.

John and Kate +8 .. again?

John and kate Gosselin have been in the public's eye for a long time. Especially because of their very public divorce. On the note, John Gosselin was caught cheating on his wife at the time, Kate. He went on to be "living the life" while Kate was taking care of the kids and making changes in her life. But now John must be running out of money because he is talking about continuing the show "John and Kate +8" with is ex wife Kate, who is now "famous and is competing on dancing with the stars. Jon’s lawyer, Attorney Anthony F. List, tells TMZ “under the right circumstances” Jon would do a show with Kate, but “the contract would have to be tighter.”In my opinion, he should have never cheated, and everything would have been much better. But he did, and now because he could be running out of money he wants the show back, because he doesn't want a real job.
