Celebrities in the News

I don't know if it is because it is break, or because it has been a long, dreary day, but I could not come up with anything exciting to post about, so I am going with something simple. That is some celebrities that have been in the news lately! The first one that struck me as something interesting is the famous actor who plays the mean dad in the "Meet the Parents" movies, Robert De Niro. The actor cracked a joke towards Michelle Obama about possibly having a white first lady after the November elections. Even though it was taken the wrong way, De Niro stated that he meant no harm to anyone by saying what he said, especially not towards the first lady of the United States. He did formally apologize for what he said after her office stated that it was inexcusable and inappropriate. That is definitely one thing I would not like about being famous. If you say one thing that might offend just one person, it turns into a huge deal and suddenly your considered a racist. 
The next celebrity news I have seen recently is about country stars Lady Antebellum, also known as "Lady A" for short. These singers are going to put on a free concert for a school in Indiana that had recently been hit by a tornado. The cool thing about this story is that a rival school are the ones who got this concert to happen for this poor town that did not get left with very much after the storm passed. Many students stated that this kind gesture meant a lot to them. This concert is going to be put on during Henryville High School's prom. I find it very cool that a band is willing to put on a free concert when so many bands are not willing to do that because they feel they need more money than they already have. 
The last piece of news about a celebrity that caught my eye was that of Gene Simmons from the famous band KISS and Tommy Lee from Motley Crew talking trash on girl singers, Rihanna in particular. They bluntly stated that they are tired of girl singers going up there with all these dancers surrounding them as well as lip syncing a majority of their songs. They believe that no lip syncing should be allowed. They see it as dishonest and call it singing kareokee. To them they are being put out of business due to this, and they do not feel it is right since they believe that they have real talent. Lip syncing is something that I feel should not be allowed as well. If they are good enough to be that famous they should show it instead of faking it. 
Well, there is the news about celebrities I got for this week. I'm sure there are many more stories, some may be more interesting, but it is good to read up on some of it here and there every now and then even though it probably is not the most educational stuff to read.
