End of 2010

When I think back to the year 2010, a lot has been accomplished. When midnight struck, I had the best new years by starting it off with people that I loved. I had no idea that in the year of 2010, I would graduate from college. That realization came at the end of March 2010. Though my last quarters in college were academically difficult, I tried my hardest to make the most out of it. Having turned at the ripe age of 21 in the beginning of January, it was my time to go out and live that life. I tried going out with as little free time as I had, even though that was barely anything.
Realizing that I would soon start another life after college, I made sure I kept the friends I found valuable in my college life. I have met so many diverse people during my 3 years at UCI, but it really takes an effort to keep a friendship going. That was probably one of my hardest realizations when I moved back home in June. Orange County seemed like a lifetime away; I was too lazy to drive there, too lazy to hit people up.
Having I would think an impressive variety of accomplishment on my resume, I thought it was be easy to find a job right when I graduated in media. Here I go, applying to numerous positions on various websites, and still no answer. My big break in my self esteem came when I got the intern position at the local television station KTLA. Here was my dream-to work in the entertainment department for a well known station. Though the hours were not inviting, I committed over 3 months to my internships where I learned how to help produce the Morning News Show that airs everyday. On the way I met great people and even celebrities.
Even though the job market is very difficult at the time, I managed to find a part-time job for a mortgage company in Santa Monica. At the time where I also had my internship, it provided the strenuous yet right balance between my dream internship and a job where I can make some pretty good money on the side-->I can't complain.
On this New Year's Eve, I am reflecting on how crazy this year has been with all my accomplishments, relationships, and rollercoaster moments. Many times I have felt alone, and at a crossroads, but I've made it through yet another year. 2011 is about to arrive, and I'm still wondering what I'm meant to do with my life. Being out of college for 6 months now, I have no idea what direction my life is going though I do know where I want to be...and that is EVERYWHERE!!! I have a feeling that 2011 is about to be another great year. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Usher song "OMG" similar to an older one by Homer...Simpson

Beauty & Style

Usher whose song "OMG" written and produced by will.i.am was something of a hit in 2010 has been caught in swirl of conspiracy and controversy that some have termed Homer-gate by some.

We are, of course, exaggerating but the lyrics of the song bear a striking resemblance to a Christmas carol composed by Homer Simpson, which he sings in a 2003 episode of The Simpsons.

In Homer's version, he sings: "Christmas in December, wow, wow, wow. Give me tons of presents, now, now, now!" And as anyone who has heard the song by Usher will attest, that does bear more than a passing similarity to the lyrics of OMG.

This resemblance was first spotted by morning DJs at the Y101.7 radio station in Jackson, Mississippi.

LeAnn Rimes Engaged to Eddie Cibrian

Beauty & Style

What was formerly reported based on gossip and hearsay is official now as LeAnn Rimes recently tweeted to confirm her engagement to former CSI: Miami star, Eddie Cibrian.

The controversial couple who each split up with their previous partner in order to get together last year were also spotted taking a stroll down Malibu beach on Monday with LeAnn Rimes sporting the proof of her engagement, a 5-carat oval diamond in a rose gold fleur-de-lis setting that connects to the platinum ring.

LeAnn Rimes is best known for her singing but she is also an actress and author. While she has most often been thought of as a country music star, she had a fairly successful crossover into the pop music genre during the late 90s through 2001.

Perhaps the best example being the song "Can't Fight the Moonlight" which hit number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100 and was featured in the soundtrack for the movie Coyote Ugly.

Eddie Cibrian is an established television and film actor with prominent roles in Baywatch Nights, Sunset Beach, Third Watch, Tilt, Invasion and most recently CSI: Miami.

The couple starred together in Northern Lights, a film based on a Nora Roberts book of the same name. We wish the couple the very best of luck in their forthcoming marriage.

Nicole Kidman at 'Rabbit Hole' Premier

Beauty & Style

Earlier this month at the Rabbit Hole movie premier, Nicole Kidman hit the red carpet along with fellow co-stars and husband Keith Urban in New York. The honey-blond actress was wearing a Clements Ribeiro pencil dress from the Spring 2011 collection and completed the look with a side-swept hairstyle and a pair of nude heels with bows on the front.

Aaron Eckhart and Sandra Oh who co-star in the film alongside Jon Tenney and Tammy Blanchard were also at the red carpet for the premier. Sandra Oh was looking good in an Amanda Wakeley dress and a pair of heels that did not quite mesh with the outfit. She also had on a pair of tights which were not exactly the epitome of style but did not make her look unpleasant.

Aaron Eckhart on the other hand looked impeccable in a stylish suit, white shirt and tie and opened up to reporters about his role in the film and how he hoped that they had achieved something more than melodrama by immersing themselves in the roles.

The film, Rabbit Hole, is an adaptation of a Pulitzer prize winning play of the same name is a drama about a couple whose child has passed away in an accident and how they attempt to cope with the tragedy.

Beauty & Style

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have announced that they will split up after more than two years being married. The split is very amicable with the joint statement released by the former couple saying that they entered their relationship with love and it's with love and kindness that they leave it.

Ryan Reynolds, known for his role in the TV series "Two Guys And A Girl" and his romantic comedy roles in various movies such as "Definitely Maybe" and "The Proposal" tied the knot with Scarlett Johansson in a quiet wedding in September 2008 at a quiet ceremony in British Columbia..

Scarlett Johansson, considered one of the sexiest women in the world and famed for her roles in movies like Iron Man 2, The Prestige and The Island, was spotted with Reynolds in New York at Avenue looking very cozy together.

In fact, just in April, Johansson told In Style magazine that she enjoyed cooking for him (Reynolds) and her domestic life with him.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber not a couple

Beauty & Style

According to Selena Gomez herself, she was just having pancakes with Justin Bieber at the iHop restaurant where they were spotted. "Who doesn't like pancakes?" asks the teenage singer and actor who stars as Alex in the Disney channel series Wizards of Waverly Place.

At the Jingle Ball event hosted by radio station Z100, Selena Gomez told MTV news, "We were both performing in the same place so we went and had pancakes together. That's all it is. All innocent."

While this might, in part, be to safeguard herself from death threats like the one received by reality TV star Kim Kardashian after she posed with Justin Bieber for Elle magazine in the summer, we rather think that that is all there is to it.

Justin Bieber, just 16 years old is constantly in the media spotlight and usually has scores of female fans following him about. He is set to make his acting debut in the film "Never Say Never", which is about his life, and it hits theaters sometime in February 2011.

Selena Gomez, who has been labeled the next Miley Cyrus (a.k.a Hannah Montana) by some, has also made her film debut and starred in Ramona and Beezus, which was released earlier this year.

In 2011, she is set to feature in a film called Monte Carlo that will also feature Gossip Girl Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy, which is produced by Nicole Kidman, Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan.

Taylor Swift celebrates her birthday today

Beauty & Style

Taylor Swift is perhaps the most promising young talent in America today and has already begun realizing her potential with her third album, Speak Now, released earlier this year. The album saw the prodigious Taylor Swift debut at number one in the US Billboard 200 chart and have all of the tracks on that album feature on the Billboard Hot 100.

The tremendous success of that album, triple platinum in the US, double platinum in Canada and platinum sales in Australia is more than reason enough to celebrate, but today, on December the 13th Taylor Swift will be celebrating something a lot more personal.

Born on December the 13th 1989, Taylor Swift is twenty-one years old today and the winner of over 70 music awards, making her the most award winning country musician in history. She already has her own wax double at Madame Tussauds and extensive merchandising including her own jeans line in partnership with L.E.I and her own signature scent from Elizabeth Arden.

However, that is not all as the talented beauty has also been a cover model for various magazines and has been voted in the Time 100 Finalists in 2009 and one of the 25 Most Intriguing People of 2009 by People magazine.

Although she has been winning awards and honors consistently ever since her emergence into the mainstream, Taylor Swift remains down to earth and is extensively involved with charities and her philanthropic work is just one more reason why she is so popular.

In 2009, Taylor Swift donated $250,000 to various schools around the country that she had attended or been involved with on her birthday.

We at Denim Square would like to wish Taylor Swift a very Happy 21st Birthday and hope she continues to be as successful as she is today.

VS Model Replaces the Sexy Megan Fox for Transformers 3

Beauty & Style

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a complete unknown when it comes to the film industry, although she has starred in advertisements for Agent Provocateur and Burberry, will replace Megan Fox, one of the hottest and sexiest stars in Hollywood, for the next movie in the Transformers series, Dark of the Moon.

The English model has had a relatively successful career so far, having worked with Victoria's Secret and voted 6th on the Harper's Bazaar's best dressed list for 2008. In 2009, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley received the Elle Style Award for model of the year and she has also previously worked with Michael Bay, director of the Transformers films, on a Victoria's Secret advertisement.

The Victoria's Secret model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, will play Carly in the third and final installment of the Transformers series, which has been filmed in 3D using the same technology as for Resident Evil: Afterlife.

The part of Carly, to be played by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is true to the original 1984 animated series and replaces Megan Fox's character Mikaela. Dressed in this photo in a suitably demure (for a Victoria's Secret model) white dress, will play Sam Witwicky's new love interest and most will hope a very sexy and sultry one.

As would be expected from a Victoria's Secret Model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is as sexy and hot as Megan Fox if not more so.

Set to be released in June 2011, we will be eagerly waiting to watch this blond British beauty in the last Transformers film, which may be the film that launches her acting career and thrusts her into the limelight.

The Life of a Female Journalist

Interning at KTLA, I have further realized how much I want to be a reporter. I love the whole newsroom vibe, and how friendly of an environment it is with everyone sharing the same place, saying hi to one another.
About a month ago, KTLA reporter/anchor Wendy Burch is currently doing a package on what she's missing in her life: http://blogs.ktla.com/wendyburch/2010/11/when-its-cold-wet-or-snowy-how-do-you-stay-fashionable.html
Not only did seeing this alarm my supervisors who were in their 30's, but somehow it struck me as well. Though I am 21, and still very young to even be thinking about marriage, let alone children, I think to where I want my life to be at at certain points in my life and getting married AND having children is definitely some place in the future.
I'm starting to realize the hard lifestyle that accompanies any reporter, but women seem to go through the most suffering. Out of everyone who tries to pursue a career in journalism, only a few make it. I know the chances are pretty slim, but sometimes you got to try and put yourself out there and I know not a lot of people are comfortable with that. Growing up as an only child, my whole family is basically my parents, and maybe that's how I'm comfortable with being alone. Ideally I wouldn't want to move to a small town and be a reporter, but if the opportunity presents itself, then I might just have to. And from what I know, the constant moving never ends there.
Moving around so much is not good for a woman's love life. Sure you meet guys here and there and date a few guys, who knows. But I believe there comes a time in almost every woman's life when we realize that we want to settle down and have a family. Sure that doesn't always follow that order, but the two go hand in hand. Many independent women such as myself feel that with success, a man isn't necessary to complete our lives, and family. But I feel that despite all the material things we may have in our lives, nothing can ever take the place of having your own family.
Life of a reporter gets really lonely at times. Hopefully it's not too late, when you finally get settled in your career location to start a family of your own. So should a woman always have a man in her life that she wants to marry? Or should she just live a life where her career comes first, and where she works really hard at it that nothing or no one would get in the way of it? It's typical for men to do the same, and they're not affected, but for women it's different because there's a time frame where women are able to have babies, that doesn't last forever! We all want our babies to be healthy, and to ultimately not bring complications to them or even us!
Yes I know I am too young to look into possible options for having my own family, but what is suggested for women aged in their late 20s is to start a good relationship with your gynocologist. Although it's becoming more common for women to get pregnant before getting married, sometimes not even marrying their baby's father, ideally it would be nice to have both.
One of life's greatest joys is having a family, especially the ability to have a baby that we can call our own and share our DNA. Of course the perseverance to create a successful career for ourselves is important, but in the back of all women's minds who essentially want to have a family of their own, women always have to plan for that part in her life as well.
