The Friday Girl
Check out this interesting article on Rebecca Black, the girl that wrote, sang and starred in the music video for the YouTube hit "Friday."
Here are some highlights from the article
- She's 13 -- "I'm definitely not some normal 13-year old girl that barely anyone knows around school anymore."
- She's a self-described "musical theater geek" from Anaheim, CA.
- The video for "Friday" has garnered over 119-million views
- She still wants to be a performing artist
- She says she only shed tears once over the critical onslaught
- The criticism has only added fuel to the fire to succeed and prove everyone wrong
- Claims to have always been bullied in school. "I don't know what was so different about me that made people want to pick on me. I thank those people because if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here right now."
- Rebecca's mom paid $4-grand to get the song and video produced (something she likens to what other moms spend on uniforms and shinguards).
- When YouTube views hit 80-thousand in one night, her mom knew that her daughter's average life had changed forever.
- Mom thought her $4-grand entitled her to complete ownership of the song and video, now she's in a legal fight with the production company.
- She's working on a five-song album with the same music producer who has worked with Hilary Duff and Clay Aiken.
Now that is one tough 13-year old. Imagine the entire world laughs and spoofs you, and you want to come back for more...

Did You Know...
... that women are more likely to be nude in movies than men? Oh my! Stop the presses! A study out of Southern Cal found, based off the top grossing movies of 2008, that actresses were 24% more likely to be shot partially nude, versus just 8% of actors.
Also, the study found that men still dominate speaking rolls. 67% of speaking roles went to men; women had about half - 33%.
One more -- men were also more likely to be the boss. For every five male directors, writers or producers, there was one female.

Joke of the Day
Prince William and his friends left his bachelor party completely wasted and hailed a taxi.
The taxi driver, noticing how drunk they were, decided to just switched the engine on, and then off again.
The 1st guy gave him money, 2nd guy said thanks, but the Prince William slapped him.
The taxi driver was stunned because he was hoping none of them would have realized the car didn't move an inch.
"So what was that for?" he asked.
The prince screamed, "Control your speed next time, you almost killed us."
