Whitney Houston's Cause of Death Revealed!

So news broke out today on the cause of Whitney Houston's surprising death last month. According to the L.A. Coroner's Office, the 48 year old died from accidental drowning. At the time of her death, she had cocaine in her system, but the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease mixed with the frequent cocaine use caused her passing. Also according to toxicology reports, Whitney Houston had marijuana, Xanax, Flexeril, and Benadryl that supposedly "did not cause her death". I mean if you have all those substances mixed in your body, it seems almost impossible to come out of this situation alive and healthy. What is still not certain is if Whitney actually died from a heart attack, which is common to happen with the influx of drug substances.


Still an unbelievable tragedy to hear about knowing that she was still very young and had a child whom she was so close to. It's crazy how public figures such as her have no idea of the great impact they leave behind to loved ones and to the public. Let's keep her family in our prayers, especially daughter Bobbi Brown that she doesn't follow the same path as her mom in regards to abusing substances. There is so much more to be grateful and appreciative for and instead of harming ourselves, we should take great care of the body that we were provided.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE LIMITLESS?!

So I just saw the movie LIMITLESS with Bradley Cooper and it was insanely good! I was so animated the entire film because every single part of it was so surprising with twists and turns every moment. I think this movie made quite an impact on our society because we start to wonder if the feeling of limitless is really possible.

If you haven't seen this movie here's a quick synopsis...(yes I will use the real names)...
Bradley Cooper meets his ex-brother-in-law randomly on the street when he offers him a pill that allows him to feel invinceable. Since he was an aspiring writer with a major writer's block wasting away his life, he felt he had nothing to lose, so he took the pill which in 30 seconds gave him the ability to conquer anything and everything. To make a long story short, he became increasingly dependent on the drug without knowing it's complications or side effects which happened to be a crashing, dizzyness, even potential death.

Of course with the ability to embrace every bit of knowledge that we encounter or to even recall anything we've ever learned in life comes trouble because it catches up with us. But what I took out of this was the dependence he had for the drug. Sure he couldn't get all that wealth of knowledge by his own since the average person technically only uses 20% of their brain. Why do people often thirst for something that makes them feel powerful only for a limited number of time? Of course with the dependence we feel for something that makes us feel good, we want more and more of it, therefore forgetting the consequences of what it can actually do to our bodies.

If that "limitless" drug even does exist or whatever, amongst all the other drugs out there, why do people become so dependent on it? Just for that instant gratification? Okay I can see how that's plausible, but what comes afterwards? Blackouts, bingeing, forgetfulness, throwing up, feeling like crap, losing parts of our brain, nasty teeth, excessive weightloss/gain, etc. Tell me something good it does as an aftereffect please!

Which brings me to my next point...Bradley Cooper became so dependent on this drug that he didn't believe in himself to study notes in time for an important presentation. I know he may have self-coerced himself into learning all the financial "lingo", but I feel he didn't even know. No one who took that drug did! Once we become dependent on a drug, we feel the need to use it to function daily when in reality it's killing us inside, literally! Haven't you heard that once you take ecstasy, you can never be genuinely happy again?! Oh and what about those brain scans which shows holes in the brain when you take ecstasy too frequently?! I'd rather suffer by natural causes than use something that can help kill me, thank you very much...

BTW BRADLEY COOPER IS A FOX!!!

AARON CARTER REVEALS MICHAEL JACKSON'S DRUG/ALCOHOL HANDOUTS

Leave it up to attention seeking people who reveal information that isn't pertinent anymore...Aaron Carter, who has been in and out of rehab, reveals the relationship he shared with the late Michael Jackson. Though he never spoke much about their friendship, he opens up about their relationships which embodied getting introduced to good music and included drugs/alcohol.

Aaron says in an interview, "I never talked about it… This is the first time. I do… I miss Michael… I have spent such incredible times with him. I did things with him that nobody else did… But I was also troubled about what he did to me … Yes, he gave me wine. I mean, I could have refused, but I was 15. He gave me cocaine. I felt weird about that and other stuff… We spoke afterwards, hours and hours, on the phone. I admired Michael, but his behaviour bothered me a lot. Then my mother called the police…"

Can you say total shocker?! But what is Aaron Carter's word almost two years after Michael Jackson passed away? I mean if you never mentioned it before, what good comes out of mentioning it now whether it is true or false? No one likes a rat, especially after the fact that someone legendary passes away, at least state something where the other person involved can defend themselves!!!

Controversy Over New MTV Show: "Skins"

I remember seeing the commercials for this new MTV show Skins. It honestly looked pretty scandalous. Watching this show this past week, I couldn't help but realize how much it reminded me on the Canadian teen-drama Degrassi.
Degrassi was my show, and I still am an avid fan. I've kept up with it throughout the years and I thought no show would ever be this REAL. It dealt with many teen issues, that aren't exactly shown on television. The episodes followed a new dilemma for every character, and what attracted me so was how real the issues portrayed were. I haven't known of any other show that had so much depth and meaning that this show catered toward a younger audience.
And now here comes MTV's version, SKINS. Taken from the British version of Skins, MTV wanted to remake their own version. This show clearly seems uncut, showing scenes of partying, drug and alcohol abuse, and sexual content. Though it is claimed that this show is good for children to watch with their parents, I'm thinking, "why would anyone want to watch this type of show with their parents?" I know it's great to push boundaries, but why for teenagers. I'm sure it's pretty obvious what mishaps can happen to this generation when the teen years roll around, we don't need it portrayed on a television show.
Though many of the issues are similar to that of Degrassi, I feel like Degrassi had a sort of class about it. They dealt with the same issues, yet didn't explicitly portray it. On the other hand, maybe that's what television needs, something so raw it causes controversy, and that's what this show is already doing with just it's premiere episode airing the other day!
MTV, once a music video haven has gradually turned to reality shows. Now I can see the transition to actual shows such as "My Life As Liz" and "Skins." But thinking to shows MTV is becoming to be known for, such as "Teen Mom" and "16 and Pregnant," it seems kind of odd that MTV would be wanting to put pregnancy and teen exploitation as part of their programming. What message is MTV trying to send?
Out of all the issues Skins does portray, the biggest controversy is the use of actual teenagers in the show. Usually with any show or movie, there are actors 18 or older who play high school characters. Not Skins. They use teenagers under 18 as the title characters of the show, resulting in possible "child pornography exploitation."
If you want to see for yourself this teen drama that pushes every limit there is, catch "Skins" on MTV Mondays at 10pm.
