     Joanna Stefani Germanotta known as Lady Gaga was born on March 20^th, 1986.  She got her nickname from a Queen’s song called “Radio Gaga.”  She is from a good Italian family from the lower East Side of New York.  Lady Gaga ahs become a successful American singer, writer and musician.

 

     Growing up, Joanna would sing along on her tape recorder to songs by Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper.  Her and her father used to enjoy the Beatles and Rolling Stones together while dancing and singing along.  Her favorite gender of music is rock, pop and theatre, which have reflected her own style of music.  By the age of thirteen, Joanna had written her first piano ballad.  She attended Regis High School where she participated in several school plays and was part of the Jazz Band.  Surprisingly she also attended an all-girls private school called the Convent of the Sacred Heart School – where Paris and Nicky Hilton attended too.

 

     Her career began to form at the age of fourteen when she would sing on open mike nights at clubs like Bitter’s End in New York City.  In 2006 Joanna started working with music producer Rob Fusari.  With him, she wrote many of her early down town hits.  It was in 2007 when Joanna landed a job that would change her life drastically forever.  She was offered a deal with Interscope as a songwriter and was partnered with Akon.

 

     Now Joanna is a worldwide known American singer.  She has recently released an album titled The Fame and has successfully hit the charts at number five in Canada.

Marina Efstat

This blog is for readers of any age.  It is just an autobiography :) Enjoy.

Free writing, an Autobiography.

 

    My name is Marina Efstathiadis and I was born and raised in Toronto on October 31^st, 1991.  Until I was three years old, I was a happy only child.  After that though, my mother decided to have another child.  The only problem with this was, not only did one come out, but instead two did.  So now I have two little twin brothers are currently fourteen years old.  I also have my mother and father who are still happily married.

 

Since I was fourteen years old, I have been employed.  I first started working at a family owned Greek business – called Select Bakery.  I worked there for a year and a half and then decided to gain experience in a different field.  Now to this current date, I am employed with two jobs that I absolutely love.  I work for my father’s electrical company, where I do the company’s book keeping.  I also work for Sobeys where I do customer service.  I enjoy working because it is my source of income!

 

     In my spare time, I enjoy just relaxing and hanging out with friends.  I am also really excited to continue my education at Centennial College – where I will be studying the subject of Broadcasting and Film. 

 

     Now you know a bit about me, hope my life wasn’t too boring for you to read!

Review for People's Magazine

This is a review for People’s Magazine.  This blog is mostly for people who do not usually read People.  Ages thirteen to thirty.

 

     People magazine is a source for learning about the latest trends, gossip, and real life stories.

 

     People magazine is a unique magazine that not only focuses on the life of the rich and famous and the expensive clothing styles celebrities wear.  It focuses on in-depth stories that depict the lives of everyday people.  It also contains reviews regarding books, TV, music and movies that are relatively useful.

 

     People magazine is a magazine that has many categories that other magazines do not care to include.  Most other magazines have a bundle of advertisements and styles only rich people can afford.  Not to mention that most magazines are over priced – like Rolling Stones or Flare.  People’s magazine is fairly accurate with their information and focus not only on one topic (ex. Rolling Stones focuses mostly on music) but on a variety of topics

 

     They include passages on the deaths, births, engagements’ and breakups.  They also mention things of importance – about regular people. Such as fatal accidents, rescues, heroes and brave children.  It is a great magazine for people who are any shape or form because it includes articles of real life stories.  It also includes articles of how celebrities are not actually perfect they are just airbrushed to appear that way.  People’s magazine is cheap and resourceful for our everyday lives. 

Review for Facebook

This blog is for all ages, those who do not have Facebook mostly in order to persuade them to join.

      Facebook – a social networking website that allows you to connect with friends and family worldwide.

    Facebook is a great way to connect with people from anywhere in the world.  It is a very useful website that contains many applications that are easy to use and appropriate.

 

     Many applications on Facebook are actually fun, like the games and quizzes they have.  Facebook provides many forms of entertainment, not just communication.  For example, Facebook provides a photo uploader where peoples photos’ are stored in they choose to store them in.  This is really useful, especially for those whose hard drives collapse often.  You can also add applications on Facebook that regard things about you, so your friends can get to know you better.  Then of course there is the wonderful “wall,” where anyone on your friends list can communicate with you!

 

     However, many people do not prefer having their privacy interfered with.  Yet Facebook also provides a high security privacy setting.  In your privacy setting, you are able to select what you do, and do not want displayed.  You can also remove applications, like the wall, if you feel uncomfortable with other people seeing what has been written to you on it.  Facebook is a great social networking website that cares about the privacy of their users.

 

     If you’re not a Facebook user, a highly recommend that you sign up today!  It is a safe, easy to use website that allows you to keep in touch with friends and family anywhere in the world.  It is also a worthwhile website and a fantastic upload facility.  

Something Borrowed

For the ages of fifteen and fourty-five because this novel is a great to relate to personal situations.

This is my review on a book titled "Something Borrowed."

Rachel White is a young attorney that works in a law firm and detests it.  She is a very conservative woman that has always been the shadow of her best friend Darcy.  Darcy is a beautiful woman that enjoys her career and has the perfect fiancee.  After Darcy throws Rachel a thirtieth birthday party, Rachel realizes she is not getting any younger. After a night of too many drinks Rachel ends up going home with Darcy's fiancee Derek.  The morning after, Rachel realizes that what she has done is completely wrong.  Derek however admits to being completely sombre and sane.  This is a novel of twisted relationships and full of drama.  Rachel realizes that she has to choose between true happiness or loyalty.  Her decision will take you on a ride where you will experience laughter, tears and happiness.

Darcy and Rachel have been best friends since they were three years old.  Darcy has always been jealous of Rachels perfection, yet Rachel does not realize this.  Rachel has been the shadow of Darcy for over twenty years and decides on her thirtieth birthday that enough is enough. 

This novel is abosolutely entertaining and enjoyable to read.  It takes you through twists that you will never expect and leave you in complete awe.  I definitely recommend it.  It is a easy read and will take you on an emotional roller coaster ride you will never forget.  If you read Something Borrowed you will want to complete the series of Emily Griffin's novels. 

A Disappointing Obsession

Many were obsessed with seeing the movie Obsessed, yet they were left in disappointment.

Obsessed, starring Beyonce Knowles as Sharon and Idris Elba as her husband Derek is a remake that should not have been remade. When happily married Shannon and Derek move into a new house with their son, their life seems perfect. Derek is an attractive asset manager, who basically makes a killing. No wonder they're so happy. When Derek's assistant is sick for a few days, a temp named Lisa (Ali Larter) replaces him. The obvious occurs and Lisa becomes obsessed with Derek. The plot is so predictable and cheesy. In the end, we know the crazy psycho temp will have iti out with the wife. As i recall during this scene, where no one seems to get hurt Beyonce refers to Lisa as "skinny white ass," really?

After being in five previous movies, hasn't Beyonce accepted the fact that she cannot act? Her acting skills are horrible, she should star in moving involving gangs rather than high class. Her slang drew the audience away from the whole high class scene that was trying to be portrayed. Other than those disappointments’, I would give huge credit to Ali Larter and Idris Elba for co-operating with such a B movie actor. I think they did a great job in playing their characters. Oh wait...Maybe that's why they had ten times the lines. Also congratulations to Shannon and Derek’s little boy in the movie, you did better than your "mommy." Beyonce, how much more famous do you want to be? Stick to singing, you ruined a movie that had potential.

I actually wanted to see this movie to see how Beyonce would do in it. Thank God I went on a Tuesday where the ticket was half price. For anyone who wants to see the movie, honestly save your money and watch the trailer. The trailer basically describes the whole movie. There is no need to be obsessed with seeing Obsessed because after you have watched it, you will need to be caressed from being upset you wasted your money!

Honesty is Virtue

This blogg is for American Idol fans, and Simon Cowel fans. It is also for the ages of anywhere between six and thirty five.

This is a conversation between me and Simon Cowel. Remember when reading this, picture his English accent... it sounds more believable.



M: Simon, you need to stop being a prick to all those Idols in the making!



SC: No, I completely disagree. Constructive criticism is essential for improvement.



M: Yeah, but don't you think your a bit harsh on them?

SC: Not at all. I think you have to jugde everything based on your personal taste. If that means being critical, then so be it.

M: Yeah, but some of your comments are even threatening.

SC: Like what? When i said i was gonna reach out for a hook if the person did not shut up. I literally meant every word of that. They were horrible, one of the worst singers i've heard in my life.

M: (Laughing and a bit nervous) I just think that you are too harsh. Some people probably want to go home and like kill themselves ha-ha.

SC: Yes well, some of them are just absolutely desperate for time on air and should realize that they have just invented a new form of torture for the audience.

M: Thank God your a judge for American Idol and not Canadian. Maybe i still have a chance.

SC: Yeah well, i highly doubt that. Don't get your hopes up.

M: (Laughing and ignoring his comment) You're so rude!

SC: I not rude, i am just honest.

M: Honesty is a virtue, I guess...

SC: Exactly. Don't you think its unfair that i have to put up with complete idiots? There's only so much punishment a human can take, and i cannot take anymore. If you suck, i will tell you.

M: You are too much.

Jolly Old Santa

This blog is for the ages of six-thirteen mostly or for all you believers in Santa Clause!

This is a conversation between Santa Clause and I.

M:  Santa!  I didn't even recognize you with your shaved beard.

SC:  Ho-Ho-Ho!  Well do you think i could handle such a thing in this hot weather?

M:  (Blushing and embarrassed)  Yeah, you do have a point ha-ha.  So how boring must summer time be for you?

SC:  Ho-Ho-Ho!  It is definantly not a time of boredom.  This is my time to relax for a bit, before fall comes and the elves and I need to start making toys.  I love Summer.

M:  (Feeling stupid now)  Yeah i guess you have a point to that too.  Gee, i really don't know how things work in the North Pole i guess.  

SC: (Laughing)  It's not your fault.  Movies on Christmas in the North Pole don't educate you children enough on the hard work we do or the vacations we get.  You know we are considered humans in some way too.

M:  Of course i think your human Santa, somewhat (and smiles).  So for this year, am I on the naughty or good list?

SC:  (Looking down at his feet.) Well, you see.. a lot of teenagers aren't usually on the good list.

M: (Sad)  Yeah but...

SC:  Ho! Ho! Ho!  How about this Marina, if you act good until Christmas I will bring you the most special gift ever.

M: (With a huge smile on her face) Thanks Santa!!

A True Character

This is for teenagers from ages thirteen to nineteen.  

This is a dialogue between Me and Stephanie Pratt.

Sp:  Oh-my-Gee, like i cannot get over how hard and stressful work is.

M:  Yeah, Kelly must be a complete Hitler.  How was the model shoot?

SP:  (Starring in mid-air, twirling her hair)

M:  Steph? Are you even listening?

SP: (Snapping out of it) Oh my God, I just totally blanked out.  (Shruggs shoulders and is laughing)  I was daydreaming about Robert.

M: (Agitated) Okay, focus for once in your life.  Whose Robert now?

SP: (Face lights up with a huge smile) He's a sweetheart you don't even know!  He took me out for dinner last night.

M: (Looking at her nails and then looking up)  What?  When were you going to tell me this?  How was it!?

SP:  (Blushing)  Well, it wasn't really a date.  We actually kinda just bumped into each other at Ben and Jerry's and he payed for my food.

M:  (Rolling her eyes and shaking her head)  You are a character Steph, I swear to God.

SP:  (Laughing)  Whatever, you know i like to spice things up.  It's just...so...me ha-ha.

Fool Me Once Shame on You, Fool Me Twice Shame on Me

This is for people of the ages ten to twenty one but especially Hills fans!!  This is for everyone who knows how stupid Heidi Montag acts ... and for those of you who don't know how she acts, this is a perfect example.

This is a conversation between a woman that is twenty three years old and Heidi Montag from the Hills.

Heidi: (Confronting the Girl with fierce eyes and an angry facial expression) Honestly, you need to get your own boyfriend.

Girl:  (With a huge grin on her face)  Reality check, your boyfriend is two-timing you...With me.

Heidi: (Flipping her hair and shaking her head) Gosh, like that is only because you dress skanky and are seducing him!

Girl:  (With confusion at first and then laughing)  So any girl that seduces him, is gonna get his attention?  You are actually a bimbo in real life.

Heidi: (Angrily responding) No I'm not saying that and I'm not going to explain myself to you.  Like just get your own boyfriend you home-wrecker.

Girl:  (With sarcasm and confidence) Whatever dude, if it's not me, it will be another girl.  Good luck with that rat face.

Heidi:  (Trying to react with a good comeback, but ending up confused in her own statement)  Ya well at least it won't be you...I mean uh--

Girl:  (Laughing and slowly turning her back to walk away)  Ha-ha okay look, save yourself from looking more stupid and just stop talking.
