The latest Hollywood news....
 

Lindsey Lohan arrested last night for having cocaine in her vehicle after jumping a curb in her Mercedes and wrecking her car. She was arrested for DUI and leaving the scene of an accident. The girl is not even 21 yet and was drunk! It is absolutely disgusting to me that these are the types of girls that young teens and preteens are idolizing. My thoughts are that Lindsey and Paris need to spend about six months in the same prison and get their heads on straight.

Are there any good role models out there?

And to think she's already been to rehab!! A long and very rocky road is her destiny if she doesn't address the situation pronto!:nono:
I think Carrie Underwood (Am. Idol) Taylor Swift (country singer) and Amanda Bynes (actress) are still holding onto morals! Hopefully more of these types can become good role models for our kids!:clap:

1. It's "role model." A roll model would be a fat chick.

2. Good people are boring, they will never be kids' heroes unless they can do something really awesome and spectacular. Such awesomeness doesn't exist in the entertainment field, especially these days.

Who knows maybe a fat chick would be a good roll/role model?....LOL
But I will correct it...thanks Spelling Nazi!:eyeball:

Joe can not help himself he practically perfect in every way :laugh: Just like Mary Poppins :D

There's something about that passage from child to adult star that is rocky. So many examples including Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen, too. Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift have not had to make that transition. Kelly Clarkson???? Not sure on that one.

Amanda Bynes has done so well with her transition. According to reports, she still lives with her parents and has goals she wants to achieve. She is a beautiful, talented young lady - A great role model indeed.

I guess Disney's Raven would be a great roll/role model??? :D What do you think, Pokie?

You are so right about Raven but of course she's not fat just curvy!! I hope Carrie and Taylor can make the transition. I think Lee Ann Rimes has turned out okay too.:clap:

Maybe being a country girl helps? Carrie was so poised on the American Idol finale - just seemed to handle the fame so well. And Taylor Swift - drop dead gorgeous at such a young age. We saw her in concert here with Rascal Flatts - a natural on the stage. I am with you in hoping that they make it!!

I love Raven, by the way. Curvy is a great description! She was so cute on the old Cosby shows! Now a young lady, too!

Fame, money and power all at a early age. So much to deal with. Their cry for help often goes unheard because the handlers are worried about the bottom line and when they are cashed in on to the next one. You know you can't be first only next.

I was at that same concert! Awesome! I enjoyed Gary Allen too!:)

Loved Gary Allen!! The entire concert was great. We just went to see Charlie Daniels Band - I wasn't sure it was something I was going to like. I was truly amazed - at 71 years of age, that man can play the fiddle!! He was just as awesome on the lead guitar & acoustic. Such a true blue American & supporter of our troops as well. Turned out to be an awesome concert for me after all. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Saw Charlie Daniels Band a few years back too...very entertaining!

I've been to all kinds of music concerts at the casinos and the Century Tel Center! I'm a huge rock fan as well! Helps keep me young!:cool:

Rockin in the free world :rolleyes:

We saw Taylor Swift open this year at the Centurytel for George Straight. She was incredible and absolutely adorable on stage. She made the greatest statement about writing all of her own songs. She said, "Don't ever piss me off, cheat on me, or be mean to me because if you do...I'll write about you in one of my songs!" I think we will see her around for a long time to come along with Carrie Underwood.

Martina McBride is coming in July. Anybody going to see her?

You can't beat the "big" shows that come to CenturyTel for the flash & flair. I have also found that the smaller shows have a bit more audience to entertainer connection. Jason Aldean was awesome at the Strand! Mark Chesnut had that same connection in a smaller setting.

Pokie, are you a Rick Springstien (Sp?) fan? He's coming soon - Horseshoe I think...

TB, I definitely want to see Martina - not sure on plans yet. How 'bout you?

that's Rick Springfield LOL

Yes, agree, I prefer the smaller shows. I've been to my share of concerts at the Union arena in dallas, or the cotton bowl in dallas, or starplex etc..
But give me a band playing in a small club anyday!

Yes I do like Rick Springfield! Even way back when he was Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital!!:lovely: LOL...I saw him back in the 80s at La. Tech!! I bet he would be fun to see again. It's quite pleasurable to travel back down Memory Lane!:banana:

I laughed so hard at myself when I realized what I typed!! :laugh: I hurried to post, then about an hour later, I realized what I had done. Oops!! :o

I'm with you LateNight! I love good music of all kinds, and I like the smaller setting!!

We are going to see Martina. Also, we are going to fly to Atlanta or Vegas and see Michael Buble. Now he is a man who puts on a great show! Mr Belle and I saw him last year in Ft. Worth and he was great. Mini Belle saw him in Baton Rouge and he flirted with Mini Belle during his whole show.

I hope we all never outgrow going to concerts and good music!

Good friends, good music, and good whiskey.. what more is there ?
If I outgrow any of those, just shoot me.

:beerchug:

I saw Rick Springfield at one of the casinos about a decade ago. The audience was 99% old women who were wearing the shirts they had bought on a previous tour of his, which looked (for most of them) to have been 15 years and 175 lbs ago.

Thanks Joe !! that's one image I'll be trying to get OUT of my head all day long !! :eek:

:peace:

First you have to find good music :rotflol: Michael Buble :confused:
Attachment 663
Michael and Texasbelle in Vegas :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Attachment 664
Report Tbelle to nerd watch :rolleyes:

I would think the only boys that would go see Rick Springfield would be the gay crowd :rolleyes:
Attachment 665
Joe good to see you are in touch with your feminine side :flirt:

We went because we assumed there would be a ton of girls there, and few guys. We didn't realize beforehand that "a ton" only required 4 or 5 of those girls.

I was kind of embarrassed to recognize so many R.S. songs.

[quote=Isaac-Saxxon]First you have to find good music :rotflol: Michael Buble :confused:

So sorry you don't like Michael Buble. His music is so classy & very sexy. Frank Sinatra of this era. JP - tons girls will be at this concert in this decade. ;) Mmmm.... good music

[quote=Sheba] Amen Sheba! You need to see him if you can. He puts on quite the show and is so fun to watch. He runs around the audience and sings. The only downside is we were scared when our daughter called from Baton Rouge to tell us that he told us she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, had the prettiest eyes, etc. She was walking out of the concert hall as she was telling me this and we didn't hear from her for a while. Dad was scared to death she was on Buble's bus headed to somewhere!!! Now Dad knows that Buble is just a flirt and has extremely great taste in lovely girls.

Now back on topic...I see where Ms. Lohan has checked back into rehab. I wonder how long this will last.

[quote=Texasbelle] That would be a scary experience!! How old is your daughter?

As far as Ms. Lohan, launching into adulthood hit pretty hard. She's a Disney star like B. Spears - Hope that rehab does work and she doesn't follow any further in Britney's footsteps!!

Our daughter is 21. I wasn't worried about her going anywhere with Buble. I know she's been raised right, but Dad just was a little scared he might turn his daughter's head. She wasn't swayed too much by the man's attention. I was wondering why she didn't right her phone number on her forehead in lipstick!!!!! jk

Britney Spears is a mess right now. I am not quite sure she is going to recover from the tarnished image and the disaster she's made of her life. It's not impossible but she's got some serious work to do. I feel really concerned for her children. I hope they are getting adequate care and mothering. Looking at some of these Hollywood kids makes you very thankful for a normal life.

You girls sound like you would be right at home in Branson :laugh: I bet you would like Wayne Newton too ;) How about some rock and roll :clap: Maybe some Blues Music ? How about some Floyd :rolleyes: Aerosmith,G&R and maybe Bon Jovi ? Well all kinds of music for all kinds of people :laugh:
