Well, it has been confirmed; Delta Goodrem and Nick Jonas have called it quits. After a 9-month relationship, the couple have decided to go different ways, with plans to stay as friends. This is currently sending shockwaves around the world, with both good and bad reactions towards the two.
A joint statement was released not long ago, saying "Nick and Delta have decided mutually to end their relationship. At this point in time, they are both focused on their careers as they go on different paths. They remain friends and wish each other the best for the future. There will be no further comments regarding this matter."
This makes sense. Jonas, who is busy with broadway, is stationed in New York. While Delta is back in her home country Australia, joining the cast of the Australian version of "The Voice." She is also expected to release so new music early this year, after a 5 year break from her last release in 2007.
This has sent a frenzy among all fans. Many have already taken to Twitter to show their opinions. The couple wasn't recieved with good reviews to start off with. Delta quickly became a trending topic, with many Jonas lovers sending hate messages. Delta fans didn't see the connection between the two either. And the two were greatly criticized for their 8 year age difference.
In my opinion, I feel that this was the best move for the both of them. They both have such different directions in their careers, and I don't see Delta returning to the US for awhile. And at long last, I can possibly hear Americans view her as a great artist, instead of the one who is robbing the Disney cradle...
I am sure that we will hear more things about this coming soon. And already fans are voicing their opinion. If you would like to join the discussion, you can join it at the Delta Goodrem Forums here. So what are your thoughts? Do you approve of their decision, or do you wish they had stuck it out? Post your thoughts now!
As a Democratic voter, some of you may be shocked to learn that I am supporting a Republican candidate. But to me, I feel that sometimes a candidate, no matter what political party they are a part of, is so powerful in their message, that people want to vote for the person, not the party. And this political year, that is exactly how I feel. And after watching numerous Republican debates, there is only one canidate that symbolizes freedom, and everything that can fix our mess of a country. Ron Paul. I believe he is the only candidate, from both Democrat and Republican that can turn this country around and bring it back to the prosperity that it deserves.
A quick history about Ron Paul first. Born in 1935, this 76 year old man has gained a lot of experience and momentum over the years. Serving in the Air Force as a medical officer and then obstetrician-gynecologist, serving over 4,000 babies, then joining the political area in 1997, and serving his country since then. He has been a canidate 3 times, and I think this time he will make a lasting impact during the election, whether he wins or not.
As a master of the Constitution, many voters are turning to him to return to the founder's view on America, while many Republican leaders consider him a foe. Since his announcement for his bid for president in 2011, he has gained much fame and attention for his political views. He believes in cutting military spending, which people think will cut defense. But that is not true. What he means by cutting military spending is removing troops that are based in allied countries, wasting billions of dollars a year, billions that could be used to protect our own borders. He also says that not one dime would be taken away from defense because military and defense are two different things. As a baby doctor, he is pro-life, which I am as well. And then he has a different view of foreign policy, saying that boming a hostile country is not the answer. He thinks that opening free trade to these countries will help topple these dictators, and then we won't have a new country born out of hatred because of our involvement.
So many more things that Paul says relate to Americans. He has proven time and time again that he warned of the financial crisis, and how if people had listened to him, things right now might be different. But as a promise to help the economy, he says that 1 trillion will be cut from the deficit after only 1 year in office if he is elected. Pretty sweet deal, huh? Why wouldn't you vote for someone that promises that?
And it appears that Americans and agreeing with me. Primaries are showing that he is a candidate to watch out for. He has been a strong candidate, reaching high number of votes, and being a close first, second and third place during the primaries that already took place. And journalists say that he is actually the only candidate that is even close to beating Obama in the general election. That is an impressive thing to say. People also say that he is the "True Conservative". And I have to agree. Romney, Ginrich, and Santorum have nothing on Paul when it comes to being conservative.
Aimee Allen, one of my favorite artists and also a supporter of Ron Paul, made a video supporting him during the 2008 campaign, which also is making a huge impact on the election. "Revolution" is the theme to Paul's campaign, and it is very fitting. Watch it below:
So I think that I have said enough to prove that Paul is the right candidate for this country right now. While there are some things that he has not discussed that I would like for him to mention, such as Solar energy and Same-Sex marriage, he is making more hopeful and realistic promises than any other canidate in the election right now. And if I had the option to vote for him in the NC primary, I so would! So Ron Paul, you have my VOTE! And I hope all of the true Americans reading this will realize this as well and throw your support his way!
Support Ron Paul during the remaining election buy voting, follow him on Twitter: @RonPaul and buying his theme song by Aimee Allen here. Start a REVOLUTION!
Yesterday, the world lost a music icon, whose void cannot be filled. Her voice captivated millions in the years that she has spread her music throughout the globe. And even as I am writing this, I am listening to the music that made her music to this very day. Yes, Whitney Houston died yesterday at the early age of 48. And these sudden and sad events have caused her dedicated fans to reflect on her inspiration and classic music that has touched so many over the years.
As a singer, actress, and model, she had many ways to express herself and show off her talent. She has been known as one of the most awarded females in the world. And her songs have been known as some of the best, including "I Will Always Love You." She was also in some incredible films including "The Bodyguard", "The Preacher's Wife" and "Cinderella." But with her success, there were also many issues including drugs and issues with her marriage, which has clouded her success among fans and the public.
But she seemed to overcome all that. With her divorce, and her claim that she was clean of drugs, she returned to music, and seemed to have bounced back. With her new album, "I Look To You" and singles "I Look to You" and "Million Dollar Bill", she skyrocketed to the top, becoming #1 on the Billboard Top 200, and selling 300,000 copies of her album in the first week. And then she filmed a remake of the 1976 film "Sparkle" which is supposed to be her best acting performance.
Her death yesterday sent shockwaves across the world. She was found dead at the Beverly Hilton hotel. According to her page on Wikipedia, "Houston was running late to get ready for the pre-Grammy Awards party being held four floors down in the hotel by her mentor, Clive Davis. After her stylists and bodyguards became concerned that Houston was in the bathroom for over an hour, they knocked on the door but Houston did not answer back. A female hairdresser went to check on Houston and found her lying in the bathtub." Reports are circulating that she was intoxicated and guests even reported her to security. She was seen after her final performance with scratch marks and blood stains on her legs.
Fans have been honoring her and paying their respects since word of her death. Her famous songs have shot up the charts on iTunes, including "I Will Always Love You" which is currently #1. Tons of celebrities and twitter users have tweeted their thoughts on her, unable to accept that she is really gone at this early age. She has also been trending all day, as well as users of Facebook paying their respects.
Word also is that her daughter, Bobbi Kristina has been hospitalized. Reasons of this are really unclear, but they are claiming that anxiety are reasons.
It is clear that she made an impact on numerous people as well as the world. Her name and music will live on forever. I am wishing her family the best, and the fans that are suffering as well. RIP Whitney Houston!
