I’ve only seen about 5 of these movies and they definitely deserve to be nominated for a Razzie. What movies do you think should win?
The world already knows that at 17, Teresa Scanlan is the youngest woman to be crowned Miss America since Bette Cooper in 1937.
But there’s a lot more to know about this poised pageant winner:
• She’s Aiming for the White House
The Nebraska-born beauty wants to attend law school, with dreams of someday becoming a Supreme Court Judge. From there, she has plans to set herself up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., as president of the United States. “I certainly hope” to become president someday, she told the Las Vegas Sun. But since one can’t run for that office until the age of 35, she admits, “I’ve got another lifetime to wait.” (LULZ)
• She Doesn’t Hide her Dedication to Religion
On her blog, Scanlan writes about praying before a pageant, and shares how she found comfort in competing: “When I found pageantry, I realized that God had prepared me for this competition by creating me to love diversity, and here was the place I could use the talents He had given me.” She later told Fox & Friends she knows many people won’t agree with her take on things, and is prepared to be criticized for her beliefs. “I respect all of those ideas and different people,” she said, adding that “I don’t want to focus on the criticism.”
• She Was Home Schooled
“They really sacrificed a lot to do what they did,” Scanlan says of her parents’ decision to home school their kids (she’s the middle of seven children). She was at home through her junior year of high school, when she attended Gering High School part-time. Her favorite subject? “Probably government and those [types of] classes,” she told Fox & Friends.
• She’s Single
When asked if she was dating anyone, she said “no” with the wry comment, “17-year- old boys? … Enough said.”
• She’s Got Big Plans for her 18th Birthday
She’s got a big job ahead of her, but she’s still a teenager who wants to have a little fun. She’ll celebrate her 18th birthday Feb. 6, over Super Bowl weekend in Dallas, according to the Las Vegas Sun. Speaking of age, she’s two full years older than the youngest Miss America winners. Back in 1921, the first year the pageant was held, Margaret Gorman of the District of Columbia won at age 15. In 1937, Bette Cooper also won at the age of 15.
“After being crowned Miss Nebraska 2010 in June and becoming the youngest woman to wear the Miss Nebraska crown, she deferred enrollment to Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia, where she is now set to attend in the Fall of 2011. She plans on majoring in Government: American Politics and Policy and then attending Law School to become a Trial Attorney in Criminal Prosecution. Hoping to become a judge and eventually become involved in the political arena, her highest career goals are to become President or a Supreme Court Justice. As a Christian in the political arena, she hopes to break down the stereotype of crooked and dishonest politicians, operating instead under character and integrity.”
Congratulations to Teresa Scanlan Miss America 2011. May she wear the crown well!
The 2011 Golden Globes Awards took place in Hollywood last night and there was a few surprises with the winners list, mainly The Social Network taking the award for Best Motion Picture instead of Black Swan. You can see the full winners list after jump because I don’t really want to talk about. Here is what I want to talk about:
Yes, Ricky Gervais‘s opening monologue which he pretty much went in on everyone in Hollywood and I loved every second of it. I’m sure there is probably a number of hits out on his head today.
The best one for me is when he decided to crack a joke at Tom Cruise and John Travolta, after saying Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor played two gay characters in “I Love You Philip Morris”, he then said “the complete opposite of some famous Scientologists, then.”
It was a good start to the show and really the only bit that I cared about, if these celebrities can’t take being made fun of then they are definitely in the wrong business.
The 2011 Golden Globe Nominations were announced earlier today during a ceremony at the Beverly Hilton that seen Katie Holmes, Blair Underwood and Josh Duhamel announce the nominations.
Colin Firth‘s drama, The King’s Speech, leads the way with 7 nominations while The Social Network and The Fighter come second with a cool six nominations. Perhaps a huge shock for people is Christina Aguilera and Cher‘s movie, Burlesque, receiving 3 nominations.
The 2011 Golden Globes will take place on January 16 and will air live on NBC.

Vikki Blows doesn’t get enough attention in my opinion, although she doesn’t really do much to get any attention so that’s probably why.
Her 2011 calendar has just been released and the images are definitely going to make next year go by very nicely for me. They are NSFW so you can find them after the jump below.
I don’t follow her on Twitter but I think I might have to if this happens more often because holy crap check out this hot photo that Kim Kardashian put up on her Twitter account as a preview to her 2011 calendar.
I normally find celebrity calendars to be extremely tacky and always a let down but I think I might just have to buy Kim’s calendar if this is the type of photos that will be included in it.
