This has just been one fantastic week in the world of J.C. White. Not only was I able to finish my application to the Summer High School Program at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University and then able to take a day off of school to tour the University of Chicago, (which I've kind of fallen in love with) but I was also given enough celebrity news (and juicy enough news) to last me a good, oh, six months or so.
Because I'm in such great spirits, I'll start out with some good news. Charlie Sheen, who has recently had to delay shootings for his hit sitcom, "Two and a Half Men," to go to rehab, has decided to be a saint and has agreed to pay the salaries of the crew of the show until they can go back to shooting new episodes. (Okay, he actually agreed to pay 1/3 of it with Warner Bros. and CBS also individually paying another third each, but at least it's a start.) However, the question is: Is this just a publicity stunt to get into the good graces of the public, or is he really a genuinely nice guy? The world may never know... (like the Tootsie Pop commercials!)
Guess what? We're not even finished with our good news yet. To top off this great news, this week Lady Gaga released her highly anticipated new single, "Born This Way." And... it's awesome! Yes, it reminds me a lot of Madonna's "Express Yourself," but luckily I LOVE Madonna and that song and therefore also love Lady Gaga and this new take on it!
However, since whenever things seem too good to be true, they usually are, I do have to leave you with some bad information. Let's just say, "Did you see Christina Aguilera botch the national anthem at the Super Bowl this week. First, she messed up the words by repeating a verse she already sang, and then she screamed out a random note for the songs final, "brave." It may have been a disgrace to the country, but for me, it was a moment of pure bliss. (Sorry America... yea maybe it's not the most patriotic feeling towards the issue, but comedy is comedy.)

P.S. I had intended to embed videos from Youtube for both the Lady Gaga song and the Christina Aguilera screw-up, but my Mac decided to hate me today and therefore, I will kindly instead suggest you to look up the videos for yourself.
