THE Fact Of Life Is Only Love
Love is the fact of life. For all human beings, and especially for teenagers, it could be said that love is THE fact of life. It is one thing that is central to all human existence. You might have come to this realization already. Simply by looking into your own mind and noticing how much of your time it spends thinking about people of the opposite sex, fantasizing about people of the opposite sex, dreaming about people of the opposite sex, wondering about people of the opposite sex, feeling depressed about people of the opposite sex and so on, you get a good idea of how important this topic is in the human realm.
Because it is so important and so central to human existence, love is something that can be extremely confusing and frustrating. I know that as a teenager love was extremely confusing and frustrating to me. I had a huge number of questions about the whole space, including (If you are a girl, please replace “girl” with “boy” in the following questions):
* Why do girls hate me?
* Why do I feel so awkward around girls?
* Why is it that I think about girls all the time, despite the fact that I would rather not?
* Why does it hurt so much?
* Why does it seem like a lot of people don’t have these problems? Why does it seem like they are able to walk up to girls, talk to them and the next minute they are going out together and having a really great time? Why are a lot of those people athletes?
* Why are pretty girls like they are?
* Why do a lot of girls seem attracted to guys who are obviously idiots and who treat them badly? I would treat a girl great, but that seems to make no difference. Why?
* What is jealousy, and why do I get so angry about it?
* Will I ever find someone who I can marry?
* When?
* Why can’t it be now?
* How will I know when I have found the girl I should marry?
* Now that I think about it, what is marriage again? Why do we have marriage? Why don’t we all just go around having sex with whoever we feel like all the time?
* For that matter, what is love? I mean, what the heck is going on here to begin with?
* Why does it seem like adults don’t have these problems?
* Why do my parents say they are “in love,” but it looks so different from what I mean when I say I am “in love”? In other words, why does their love seem so boring, why do they have fights and why do they never hold hands?
* And so on.
You might have asked one or two of these questions yourself. Obviously, this is a pretty big and complicated space.
One way to begin to get a handle on love and to begin to understand it better is to try to tackle it one piece at a time. We will start with the fundamental facts of life concerning love. Once you understand these facts you have a foundation. Then you can move on to other areas.
Justin Bieber Threatened with Lawsuit Over Reckless Tweet
Justin Bieber’s celebration over his latest best-selling “Boyfriend” single was cut short yesterday after a pair of Texans lawyered up and threatened to hit the pop star with a suit demanding a significant payout.
The couple claims that the Biebs is responsible for thousands of people harassing them over the phone thanks to a Twitter prank gone wrong. See, earlier this month, Justin casually posted a tweet that read “Call me right now,” followed by a string of random digits. Bieber probably thought he was in the clear because he left the fake phone number one digit short, but what he didn’t take into account was the fact that, of his 19 million followers, some of them would take their chances by simply guessing the missing number.
Cut to Dilcie and Kent, a Texas couple who happen to own one of those potential number combinations. Dilcie and Kent claim that they’ve since received over 1,000 calls at all hours of the day, and, as a result, they want compensation from Justin Bieber for his careless tweet.
The best part of the situation is what Dilcie and Kent are expecting from the 18-year-old pop phenom. According to TMZ, the couple’s legal team is seeking everything from concert tickets for their grandchildren to an endorsement for Kent’s upcoming online project (oh, and money, of course). While Kent’s online entrepreneurial pursuits are surely intriguing, Justin and his team have yet to respond to the couple’s legal threats and compensation requests.
To think this could have all been avoided had Bieber and his followers been alive for Tommy Tutone.
Kim Kardashian Gets Flour-Bombed
Someone had it out for Kim Kardashian at her red carpet fragrance launch last night, and it wasn’t Jon Hamm this time. While promoting her new True Reflection perfume at an event in the London Hotel in Hollywood, the reality star fell victim to a flour assault.
Amidst a sea of photographers and fans, the white powder perpetrator came out of nowhere and yelled “fur hag” before surprising Kim with a face full of flour. Kardashian was rushed away from the red carpet while the flour vigilante was detained by security.
Once the local fire department determined the substance covering Kim was innocuous, she made her way back to the event in good spirits. Kardashian even decided not to press charges.
Given the fur overtones and the fact that PETA has pulled off stunts like this before, one might assume the organization was responsible for this latest pro-animal prank. However, PETA maintains that, while they appreciate the statement made by the flour-bomber, the group was not behind the incident. “PETA has tried everything from polite letters to public protests, but Kim Kardashian has not been moved by the news that animals are beaten, electrocuted, and even skinned alive for real fur garments,” a rep said. “Whoever threw that flour may reach her when our polite appeals did not.”
See Kim Kardashian as a Blonde
Did Kim Kardashian chop off all of her luscious hair and go blond? Pfft, come on. No way! The reality star was just having a little fun with her, uh, wig collection Friday night.
Ms. Kardashian posted the pics us her dress-up session on Twitter, for all of her 13 million followers to enjoy. She added the caption “Do blondes have more fun?” to the pixie cut pic, then posted another Instagram shot of her in a fiery red wig with blunt bangs. Fierce!
While the starlet hammed it up with fake hair, her ex-husband Kris Humphries is apparently trying his best to get some of her “hard-earned” moolah. TMZ reports he’s asking for $7 million to put the whole marriage thing behind him, but sources say the Kardashian Kamp isn’t budging. The former couple had a set-in-stone pre-nup, which stipulates the NBA star gets nothing in the event of a divorce — even if it is after a mere 72 days. So, nothing he shall receive, if the reality star and her lawyer have their way.
Besides, apparently Humphries actually made some money from being on the reality show and even scored about $1 million from all of the wedding hooplah. So, really, he should be happy he wasted a year and a half of his life on Kim, right?

Tuned In: Katy Perry Linked to Male Model Baptiste Giabiconi
Anytime Katy Perry is photographed with anyone of the opposite sex, tongues will wag. Just last week, UK tabloids speculated about Katy’s “hunky new man” when she stepped out with longtime stylist Johnny Wujek, who isn’t even into ladies. So of course now that Katy’s been hanging out with male model Baptiste Giabiconi, it means she’s raring to run down the aisle a second time.
Elsewhere in the music sphere, John Mayer has pulled an Adele and cancelled his upcoming tour, Justin Bieber’s new album has some hipster cred, and prog-rock band Rush is not down with Rush Limbaugh. Here’s what’s up.
• Katy Perry is totally going to make babies friendly with male model Baptiste Giabiconi, otherwise known as Karl Lagerfeld’s very hot, well-groomed muse. Given that Giabiconi once said of Perry, “If I could make her divorce her husband, I’d marry her,” this is the stuff tabloid dreams are made of.
Sure it’s fluff, but it gives me a reason to post the truly wondrous music video Baptiste released a few years back. How could Katy possibly resist a man who wears way more jewelry than she does and appears to draw inspiration from Vanilla Ice and 5ive? Exactly. This is a match made in heaven. Watch the video.
• John Mayer will not tour this spring, as he is still suffering from a vocal injury. Though doctors believed the performer had recovered from the vocal surgery he underwent last fall, this week he discovered that a granuloma had grown back, making it dangerous for him to sing.
Mayer promised his fans that some good would come of his time off, however: “I feel really vibrant as a writer at the moment and there’s no reason not to begin the next album project in the time I would have been touring. Somewhere in all of this is another surgery and a very long chemically-imposed period of silence, so I hope you’ll understand that I have to really pick that date carefully.”
Mayer’s new album, Born and Raised, will be released on May 22 as planned.
• Justin Bieber’s got some cool kids helping him out with upcoming album Believe, including British music producer and DJ Diplo, who most recently worked some boner jam magic for Usher (check out the insanely sexy video for “Climax” at right).
Justin recently promised a fan that there would be some “sexy tracks” on the new album (Diplo’s specialty), so we’re anticipating something that will make people uncomfortable.
It sounds like these bros are working hard. Diplo tweeted late Thursday night, “Lost at ping pong 3 times and then fell asleep on the floor for 2 hours #studio.”
• Rush would really like Rush Limbaugh to stop playing their music on his show, now that everyone’s remembered that Limbaugh is a misogynist jerk. Unfortunately for the band most beloved by 13-year-old boys wowed by “amazing technical prowess,” they probably can’t legally keep Limbaugh from playing their tunes, as long as his network has paid for them. But maybe Limbaugh will be respectful and pull the band from his roster. It could happen.
• At this point everyone and her mom has seen Rihanna take her clothes off, but somehow, it never gets old.
Article: What is Article?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An article (abbreviated art) is a word that combines with a noun to indicate the type of reference being made by the noun. Articles specify the grammatical definiteness of the noun, in some languages extending to volume or numerical scope. The articles in the English language are the and a/an, and (in some contexts) some. ‘An’ and ‘a’ are modern forms of the Old English ‘an’, which in Anglian dialects was the number ‘one’ (compare ‘on’, in Saxon dialects) and survived into Modern Scots as the number ‘ane’. Both ‘on’ (respelled ‘one’ by the Normans) and ‘an’ survived into Modern English, with ‘one’ used as the number and ‘an’ (‘a’, before nouns that begin with a consonant sound) as an indefinite article.
In some languages, articles are a special part of speech, which cannot easily be combined with other parts of speech. It is also possible for articles to be part of another part of speech category such as determiner, an English part of speech category that combines articles and demonstratives (such as ‘this’ and ‘that’).
In languages that employ articles, every common noun, with some exceptions, is expressed with a certain definiteness (e.g., definite or indefinite), just as many languages express every noun with a certain grammatical number (e.g., singular or plural). Every noun must be accompanied by the article, if any, corresponding to its definiteness, and the lack of an article (considered a zero article) itself specifies a certain definiteness. This is in contrast to other adjectives and determiners, which are typically optional. This obligatory nature of articles makes them among the most common words in many languages—in English, for example, the most frequent word is the.

Krister Stewart Punched Chris Hemsworth
KRISTEN Stewart accidentally punched her Snow White and the Huntsman costar Chris Hemsworth in the face.
The 21-year-old actress is currently shooting the fantasy movie and left the Hollywood hunk with a black eye and a “big lump on his nose” after a fight scene went wrong.
“Girls, if you’ve ever wondered if it works, it works!” she said. “I was supposed to miss him but I basically knocked him right out of his close-up.”
The Twilight Saga star – who has been pictured with scraped and bruised knuckles this week – also revealed she won the sought after part after a “really intense, four-hour” meeting with director Catherine Hardwick.
Kristen — who is dating Robert Pattinson — added, “I hadn’t read the book when I accepted the part. It was crazy.”
In the movie, Kristen plays Snow White and is trying to escape the clutches of the evil Queen Ravenna, portrayed by Charlize Theron, who wants to eat her heart so she will become immortal.
Chris, 28, is playing Eric, the Huntsman in the movie — which is due for release in June 2012.
Tuned In: Demi Lovato Covers Maroon 5′s ‘Moves Like Jagger’
Those ex-Disney kids love a good cover. Demi Lovato treated her first tour audience in Detroit, Michigan to Maroon 5′s hit “Moves Like Jagger” this week! And she CUSSED!
Also, Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith took it upon themselves to remix Frank Ocean, Katy Perry’s planning to take some time off (BABIES?!??!?), and Nicki Minaj is allegedly getting ridiculously divalicious—so much so that the American Music Awards producers are in a tizzy.
• Demi Lovato kicked off her North American tour in Detroit, Michigan on Wednesday, delighting the audience with all her bubbly hits and a cover of Maroon 5′s overplayed ditty “Moves Like Jagger.”
Unfortunately, Demi’s Jagger moves consisted of waving her arm around a lot (we would have liked to see her do that weird prancy thing Mick mastered all those decades ago). But she stayed on key, and she even kept the lyrics intact, clearly singing, “I don’t give a s**t” to the delight of her underage fans.
• Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith showed off their new manly vocal registers on a cover of Frank Ocean’s “Thinking ‘Bout You,” which the pair uploaded to YouTube yesterday. It’s a total boner jam, which is weird, ’cause both of them are super underage so should they even be making boner jams? Whatever.
Also, Justin’s rap is superior to Jaden’s.
• The New York Post reports that Katy Perry has informed her managers she’ll be taking a year off after her California Dreams tour wraps up next week. Her reason? She wants to “work on her family.”
We’re getting ahead of ourselves here, but Katy Perry’s going to be the cutest pregnant celebrity EVER. There’s no way she’s not going to work a billion cutesy costumes around that bump, even if she is taking time off.
But we’ll have to wait on that, since Perry told her NYC audience this week that she’s not pregnant, but bloated from “New York City pizza.” Uh huh.
• Nicki Minaj has apparently upset the producers of the American Music Awards by insisting that British YouTube stars Sophia Grace Brownlee and her cousin Rosie be involved in her performance, which has made the whole ordeal pretty expensive. Also, she plans to use “electric vibrating prop” during her performance, which sounds kid-friendly!
Lindsay Lohan: Party First, Jail Later
Though she hasn’t starred in a movie since 2008, Lindsay Lohan didn’t let that stop her from schmoozing with some A-list stars last night at the J. Edgar after party in LA.
Less than a week after attending the Playboy Mansion’s annual Halloween party, the troubled star showed up at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood to celebrate the release of Leonardo DiCaprio’s latest flick. Dressed conservatively in a black cardigan and beige skirt, the star must have felt weighed down by all the clothes, for she had spent the afternoon posing nude for the iconic men’s magazine.
While it’s not entirely clear which stars stuck around for the after party, DiCaprio, Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Jennifer Love Hewitt all showed up for the film’s premiere. The biopic, which hits theaters today, was chosen to open this year’s AFI Film Fest.
Lohan, meanwhile, will report to jail next Wednesday, November 9. After violating the terms of her probation, a judge sentenced her to 30 days behind bars. But due to a heavily overcrowded prison system, she’ll likely spend less than a week in the slammer.
Evangeline Lilly Is Worried She’ll Ruin ‘The Hobbit’
Evangeline Lilly is worried that she’ll be a disappointment for the rabid fans awaiting the upcoming two-movie adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. While Tolkien’s classic children’s book (a prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy) had no women in it, Lilly plays a character created just for the movies and she’s worried purists will hate her for it.
“I am very concerned to this day that people will watch the film and I’ll be the black mark on the film,” she told SFX magazine. “I know how adamant the purists are and I’m one of them! That said, upon reading The Hobbit again, as an adult, I can see why additional characters were needed to round out the story as an adaptation – especially female characters!”
Lilly has been staying out of the spotlight since the curtain closed on Lost. The actress just welcomed her first child in May and she says she’s thrilled to have the paparazzi off her case. All that is about to change with her role in robot fighting movie Real Steel, and her highly anticipated role in The Hobbit.
“I want this peace, this normalcy, to visit my family and go for walks on the beach,” she said. “I’m hoping it lasts because I’m not sure what will happen when Real Steel comes out and The Hobbit comes out. I’m not sure if I’ve just totally f—ed myself.”
Blog: What is Blog?
Om Parkash ♦ December 24, 2011 ♦ 1 Comment
A blog (a blend of the term web log) is a type of website or part of a website supposed to be updated with new content from time to time. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Although not a must, most good quality blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via GUI widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites. In that sense, blogging can be seen as a form of social networking. Indeed, bloggers do not only produce content to post on their blogs but also build social relations with their readers and other bloggers.
Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries; yet still others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.
Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (video blogging or vlogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.
