Gossiping!

  Everyone in their life time has gossiped. We all do it even if we don’t want to.  I mean how could we not if it’s all around us? It is shown in our television sets, magazines, and internet, everywhere.  Not only celebrities go through this but we regular people do as well. Sometimes the gossip that goes around isn’t even true about the person. Lady Gaga once said,” Every time I read about myself in a magazine or wherever I usually learn something new about myself I never knew before. It’s funny.”  The sad part is that we don’t even know what we are reading is true or made up. How would we if we don’t personality know the celebrity, all we do is read about them.

       

                               

   For us it’s pretty much the same thing. Usually when we are having a conversation with someone, someone else’s name comes up. Word of mouth is the fastest way news spreads. Isn’t that interesting? Someone said that, “Gossip is like the blood that runs through woman’s veins”. Is this true, do women gossip more than men? I believe so, I mean think about it do men gossip on a daily basis? Nope they don’t, they usually talk about sports or something else.

       Gossip hurts a lot of people as well, it even ruins their careers.  For example Lindsey Lohan, her career was ruined because of all the gossip that was going on. She couldn’t deal with it anymore so she went partying to get away from all her problems. When she did you would see it in every magazine. It was like every step she took and everything she did everyone somehow ended up finding out about it. This left her with no privacy. Can you imagine living with the whole world knowing every step you took, it’s crazy!    

 Many of us have suffered because of gossiping.  Something about you that you didn’t want people to know spared around school, work or wherever. This might even ruin your reputation. Sometimes information is misunderstood. There is a game that most of us played when we were younger, called telephone. One person would say anything they want to the person next to them. Then everyone in the circle told the person sitting next to them what the other said.  They have o whisper it to each other so no one can hear it. Most of the time the word or sentence you started with was not the same that you ended with. This shows that along the way the truth changes. The only thing we can do is not believe everything we hear, and also not spread it. If we do it can ruin people’s lives and it’s just not right.

-THIS IS HOW GOSSIPING WORKS.....

Vampires and Werewolves Oh My.

It’s the 20^th century and most of the movies and shows out there are about vampires and werewolves. They all have the same concepts. There is either a new vampire or werewolf that is trying to get use to their new life. They learn how to be what it is they are, or a vampire going on a killing spree, sometimes there is even a vampire falling in love with a human. I believe that this vampire crave all began when Twilight came out. The movie producers saw that it was a big hit. Twilight has made $367,160,734. If you have never seen the movie Twilight it is about how a vampire family has moved into town. They are all extremely beautiful. There is a human girl that falls in love with one of the vampires. It is like a forbidden love. Over time he can’t help but be with her. There is a werewolf that is also in love with the same girl. They always fight for her love. This movie attracted millions of viewers. I believe it is because they made this movie based on the book . I read the books and they were great so much better than the movies. Also many of the viewers were attracted to the actors that were in the movie itself. They even formed teams, the werewolf team Jacob and the vampire team Edward. There were shirts made from this as well, the teams and the movie in general.

After Twilight various new vampire and werewolf movies and shows came out. Some examples of these are, True Blood, Vampire Dairies, Fright Night, Teen Wolf, Blood Ties, Moonlight, 30 Days of Night, The Wolf Man and various other ones. These are shows about vampires and werewolves. They revolve around the same topics. They just have different actors that play the part.

These creatures have something that is appealing about them, it lours you in. It seems as if they are so much better than actual humans, appearance wise. Their features are emphasized. They can do what ever they please. I mean who doesn't want to do something and get away with it? I think we all do. Its as if these creatures are living the life. They have their whole life time to do anything it is they want. For example, in Vampire Dairies  the vampires are extremely good looking they do this to get people to watch it. They have interesting story lines to get people to come back to watch the next episode. 

Whenever writers or directors see that one movie topic is selling well they all want to do it. So they can make money. Soon the topic gets played out. Yet still these are the shows and the movies that still get the most ratings from the people. I love Vampire Dairies, Twilight and Teen Wolf! Those are my favorite shows/ movie. But I see so many similarities between them. If you compare these shows I am sure you will see what I am talking about. Through our lifetimes so many things have been repeated, music, shows, movies, fashion and so much more. So how much of our lives is really new? Other then technology everything else is brought back from the past. Makes you think doesn’t it?

Russian Dolls

So Lifetime has a new show. Something like Jersey shore, it’s called Russian Dolls. It’s on every Thursday at 11:30. It airs for 30 minutes long and it is filled with excitement and true Russian flavor. There are various age groups in this show. There is a younger cast and an older cast. Personally I enjoy the younger cast because they have more drama between each other. Also I can relate to them more. They party, drink, shop and talk about their experiences. Diana one of the members of the younger cast had a Spanish boyfriend at the time. She was afraid to tell her parents about him because he wasn’t Russian so in the end she broke up with him for that reason.  The older members of the cast are all rich.  They all act as if they are too good for everyone else.
 -This is the younger cast.

This show shows how the Russians mostly immigrated to Brighton Beach in Brooklyn. It shows their everyday activities and how from nothing they formed everything. They made Brighton the way it is today, a Russian neighborhood.
Many of the Russian viewers believe that this show does not represent them correctly. It lowers them I agree with this in some parts of the show. For example, one of the girls in the younger cast named Anastasia called her mom a “Bitch” and kept yelling at her. Her mom just sat there and tried to calm her down and called her baby. The next day her mother came to her house to apologize, because she didn't support her daughter in changing her major for the fourth time. I am Russian and I don’t know any parent that will just sit back and call their child baby when the child is calling the parent a bitch. That is just not the why they are. However, others believe that this show is great and they are happy that Russians have a television show.

According to the show “Russians” mostly immigrated to Brooklyn from Russia. They like to drink vodka and fight a lot. Russian guys do not like to talk about how much money they have. You never insult a guy about how much money he has or makes because that lowers his manhood. It shows that a lot of the older cast is rich. Many Russian people are not rich as them. They do not own restaurants or jewelry stores, as shown in the show. Marina the member of the older cast is very rude to her mother-in-law. I think the way she acts towards her is just not right, especially if she helped started the company you and your husband run. In our culture we respect our elders we do not act the way she does.

Russian Dolls shows that Russians usually like to stick together. They do not date outside of their nationality and do not marry them. This is similar to other groups because that is what many people believe in, especially if you are older. Russians are different from other groups because they have a different culture and they do things differently.

This show is making the public believe that just because these people act this way the rest of the Russian community does as well. Even if it’s not true.   Hey will judge all of us just because of this one group of people. Just like people think that most Italians are guidos and guidettes as shown in the Jersey Shore. Even though this is an issue it has not stopped people from watching it. It is interesting to see how these people live, act and talk. Every episode leaves you wanting more.
