Common Performs At LA Times Party At Drais Hollywood
Common and I then spoke about the article and he reiterated one of the main points: His initial impression that his musical success would give him an edge in Hollywood was totally smashed when he first tried his hand at acting. He said his success as a music artist was actually a hindrance because directors don’t necessarily want to cast rappers in films.
I had no business cards on me, so, I made a hand-made one for him and he promised to check out my site. Common, are you here? If you are, I want to say I love the idea behind your Common Ground Foundation and would love to do an interview with you about it. From what I understand, the foundation is dedicated to empowering youth in urban neighborhoods and providing life skills needed to achieve their dreams and gain confidence and self-respect. I wish we had more time to talk about this in particular, but there were many people he needed to speak with last night. We took some pictures and with that, I bade farewell, to a very nice gentleman whom I can only hope to run into again. For the rest of the story on the other celebrities I met the same night, click here.

Kristen Stewart Of Twilight Apologizes For Comments Re: Looking Like A Rape Victim
Twilight fans know all too well that Kristen Stewart is camera-shy when it comes to paparazzi but she may have stepped over the line with some fans and rape-victims groups earlier in the week for comments she made to Britain’s Elle Magazine about media photos of herself: “The photos are so…I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped…A lot of the time I can’t handle it.” Yesterday, Kristen publicly apologized for those remarks, saying she had made “an enormous mistake.”
Poor Kristen–I am sure these chain of events only lead to her wanting to be more reclusive. Guess she had no idea when she filmed the first Twilight movie that she would be the subject of such intense media scrutiny. Now that she has apologized, let’s move on to happier things and count down the days to June 30th when we will all be reunited with our favorites: Bella, Edward and Jacob. ![]()
The group on Friday said it “appreciates Kristen Stewart’s sincere apology regarding these comments” and looked forward to working with her again in the future.
Stewart and her co-star Robert Pattinson became international teen idols starting in late 2008 after the success of the first “Twilight” movie, about the love affair between a shy high school student and a vampire.
But Stewart has complained frequently about the effect on her personal life of the three movies based on the best-selling books of Stephenie Meyer. A fourth movie “Breaking Dawn” is due for release in November 2011.

Oh no! My t.v. life will never be the same. 7 hours of Martha Stewart’s lifestyle each week day? What are the people at Hallmark thinking? It would be like standing in the greeting card aisle surrounded by birthday, anniversary, graduation and other sundry notes. This could start a bad trend.
Martha has her ideas of a lifestyle, but that doesn’t mean that most people want to live that way. A lot of these shows will be watched by an older audience, but then at night they want to aim their shows at the youth that all t.v. is constantly courting.
How much is Martha going to make from all of this. And the bigger question is how much does she need? It sounds very selfish to me when someone has this much going on. It is just like Oprah when she gets her own network. How much money does she need to make? How many houses do these ladies need? I know they give a lot to charity, but still they have fortunes.
I live a very good life at $887 a month. I couldn’t stand myself if I felt I deserved or had to have all that they do.

God bless Martha and Oprah. No one gave them anything! They worked hard to get to where they are. I do agree that they both could give so much more back to society. When you have much, Much is expected! Go girls!

How much of Martha Stewart do we have to put up with? One day of her was enough. This is totally stupid. Put the Waltons,Little House on the Prairie back on. It’s a lot more entertaining. Or put good movies on. Isn’t this suppose to be a movie channel?

I agree. Please take Martha Stewart off the air. She is on much too much. Five hours is too much. You could at least put something on better than her. I used to enjoy the Hallmark Channel during the day, except you now you put a white collar criminal on, instead of something entertaining. Enough is enough. Please reconsider and put on something more enjoyable.

This Kristen Stewart has made a foolish comment. She does not know the pain of rape. She only knows the pain of being a terrible actress who has become famous. Wampum does not know why she is famous. Wampum’s mule does not know why she is famous. But Wampum’s mule is a better actor than this Kristen Stewart. HA! This comment has amused us. This article has not.

She is such a immature child. If she hates the career that she’s chosen for herself then she needs to pick a new one or shutup & deal with what comes with being famous. And the rape comment, please. She needs to really stop throwing that comment around before someone that has gotten raped gets in her face about it one day & hurts her feelings.

Common May Be A Hip-Hop Artist & An A-List Actor, But He Is Also The Coolest Celeb I Ever Met
I also told Common all about CelebMagnet.com and how I use the site to promote artists that not only create great art but who also make a positive contribution in the world as well. He encouraged me and said, “Just keep doing your thing girl, keep doing your thing.” Thanks Common, I think I will. I had no business cards on me, so, I made a hand-made one for him and he promised to check out my site. Common, are you here? If you are, I want to say I love the idea behind your Common Ground Foundation and would love to do an interview with you about it. From what I understand, the foundation is dedicated to empowering youth in urban neighborhoods and providing life skills needed to achieve their dreams and gain confidence and self-respect. I wish we had more time to talk about this in particular, but there were many people he needed to speak with last night. We took some pictures and with that, I bade farewell, to a very nice gentleman whom I can only hope to run into again. For the rest of the story on the other celebrities I met the same night, look at posting for June 2, 2010.
