Hmmm...

Kicking off this month's 'Hmmm...' is a story I'm sure that you've all heard about but I figured I'd grace you all with my commentary on the topic; Ciara Vs. Rihanna - Twitter Beef.

They Both Get Nil Pwa For These Outfits

So Ciara appeared on Joan River's show, Fashion Police on E! and when she was asked to comment on an outfit that Rihanna wore she decided to air some irrelevant information about how Rihanna had blanked her at some party. CIARA ON FASHION POLICE  Following on from Ciara's unnecessary comment, Rihanna took it upon herself to go on Twitter and take digs at Ciara's career, which turned into yet another Twitter beef, which disappointingly lasted a whole 20 minutes. Here's what was said:

@Rihanna: My bad ci, did I 4get to tip you? #howrudeofme

@Ciara: Trust me Rhiana u dont want to see me on or off the stage

@Rihanna: U gangsta huh? Haaa

@Rihanna: Good luck bookin that stage u speak of

@Ciara: Pure comedy...

@Rihanna: Ciara baby I love u girl! U hurt my feelings real bad on TV! I'm heartbroken! That's y I retaliated this way! So sorry! #letsmakeup

@Ciara: Rhi u know its always been love since day 1! Doing shows/everything. you threw me off in that party. Apology accepted. Let's chat in person 

The exchange between the two didn't last very long but I'm gonna just say it Rihanna's a bitch. Although what Ciara said on Fashion Police was out of line Rihanna showed her true characteristics by tweeting what she did, and stooped very low by taking hits at Ciara's career. I think that Ciara on the other hand should've kept her mouth shut on TV but handled Rihanna's catty comments very well. However, it would've been nice if Ciara held up her side of the ring better by getting back at Rihanna because there was so much she could've said but such is life. All in all, their "beef" was dry - it has nothing on Raz B's and Chris Brown's Twitter beef which was epic and speaking of Chris Brown...


He Reminds Me Of Neutrino from So Solid Crew

I don't know what to make of this; I like Chris Brown's attempt at hiding his receding hairline but blonde - really? I think Chris Brown should hold back on making any rash decisions. He not too long ago released artwork for his album 'F.A.M.E.' and the graffiti style picture of himself had black hair, so on March 22nd when that album drops, I'm expecting to see that character with blonde hair. I definitely think Chris Brown has given Wiz Khalifa's song, 'Black & Yellow' a new definition.

Finally, Britney Spears is back and I wish she would just quit. I honestly believe that Britney doesn't have the same passion for music or being an entertainer as she once did. Her new video, 'Hold It Against Me' was a fail on some many different levels. The song isn't great and the video's worst; I would suggest that Ms. Spears takes so time to figure out what it is she wants to do with her life.
If you haven't seen it already, here it is:

Essay? What Essay?

This Might Be My New Moto


So my aim for this weekend was to read, read, read and then write up an essay - well that plan failed miserably and instead I've decided to procrastinate.
Now normally I'm the most motivated person in the world but at present that isn't the case.
I'd rather stuff my face with sweets, download music ("legally" of course), see what all the latest is on Facebook, perhaps Tweet, catch up with that trash we call TV.
Like I literally mean it, I'm willing to do anything other than this essay.
The worst thing about the mood I'm in is that this essay I need to write isn't even that hard, all I have to do is read and that's where the problem arises...I do not want to read!
However, I've decided that tonight I'm NOT gonna read and instead I'll get this procrastination out of my system and tomorrow I'll take it from the top - serious, I will, promise - now to eat some ice cream...Don't judge me!

Goodbye August, Hello September...

The Struggle To Get Out Of Bed Is One That I Face Regularly

Waking up this morning my first thought was "Oh my gosh, tomorrow's the first of September!" It's official summer's over and it's back to school season but before that season blooms I have a feature to write for Catch 22 Magazine.

Interning for Catch 22 is by far turning out to be one of the most challenging experiences of my 20 year life and as I attempt to write a feature about illegal immigrants living in the UK I'm wondering whether I might have bitten off more than I can chew (again).

As an intern at Catch 22 I'm being taught all the skills I need to make it in the world of journalism; so far I've written a profile, deconstructed a magazine, been sent out to find a news story, signed up to Twitter and as my latest assignment I've create this very blog that you are now reading. 

This intern has really made me question my skills as a young journalists because as a journalism student I really thought I'd be in my element but boy oh boy was I wrong - five weeks into the intern and I'm struggling to spin a news story on its head.

At Catch 22 writer's block is a no no as tasks are set frequently and there is no time whatsoever to slumber. With seven weeks still to go I'm hoping that my inner critic will die and life will be restored to the journalist I know I am.

The mission to write my first feature has began...
