More Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet



I know that I just made an earlier post about Lola Douglas's books but i just wanted to say that i just finished reading her second book. Funny story actually, and well, i did pre-order the paperback version of her second book (not out til' February 28), but i couldn't wait to read the sequel. I decided to go to my local library, went under the young adults section, grabbed the book off the shelf, and with my library card in hand - let the librarian scanned the book and my card. yes, i've said this before and i'll say it again - "I'm such a nerd." I mean, come on, i'm actually reading books. and yes, 2 books within 3 days.

With that in mind, i guess it's true when it comes to books. You'll know that it's a really good book when you find yourself not putting it down.

oh yeah, i almost forgot to talk about the book "More Confessions..." As per usual, Lola Douglas does a really good job with real, emotional, and witty dialogue. I really did enjoy reading the book, and the ending was actually quite good. It fits. It made perfect sense as to why it ended the way it did, i guess it gave much incentive for the readers to assume what "happens next."

All in all, a great read.

Another funny part, non-related to the book, is that i spent most of today reading the book (with the occasional bathroom break, food break, and nap time).

True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet

I did something that i don't normally do this past weekend - i finished a whole entire book. You may wonder why i did so, well, i did it because i was curious as to what the book was about. It all started about a month and a half ago when i read some article on the internet that singer JoJo was going to be in a Lifetime movie based on a popular book called "True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet" by Lola Douglas. And as usual, i read up on what kinda of book it was. The plot seems interesting because JoJo will play a famous young actress who kind of pulls a "Lindsay" (enters rehab) but then, as a way to save her career, moves to Indiana with her Aunt and pretty much hides out until she was ready to go back to L.A. Here's the picture of the book by the way:


It's a good read, and the author puts in humor alongside social issues that some young adults face today.

With that in mind, now i'm venturing off into the book's sequel "More Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet."
I haven't read it yet, but i also heard this book was a good follow up. I'll give more comments once i finish it.

til next time, enjoy a wonderful Tuesday.

Cassie - "Is It You" (Official Music Video)

Ever since this song leaked onto the radio last summer, I've always thought that it was really good. And now, after hearing the video version (or video edit version of the song; or whatever you guys want to call it), it makes me like the song even more. I just love the piano intro.

Also, since this song is featured on the new upcoming movie Step Up 2: The Streets, the music video of course includes movie clips (as do all songs featured on movie soundtracks). I know Cassie is in the movie playing the role of a young dancer name Sophie and you could kind of tell that she'll be the popular/bitchy-type character (obviously not the main girl who gets the guy at the end).

I don't know if it's the nice piano intro, or the choice of video clips selected particularly for her character, or Cassie's way of singing the song as a sad-like but honest perspective on her side of this very typical and almost cliched story (where you often find leading characters having conflicts with one another but then ultimately become friends at the end), this video just makes me empathize with Cassie's character, especially at the one part wear she simply glances over and sees the guy and knows that she is already losing him. The movie does look interesting, and i may possibly watch it out of curiosity. =)

The song rocks and the video looks good.

So here's her new video...

*Enjoy.

I know i already posted this video a couple days ago, but this is the official music video (without the Disney channel "Minutemen" movie clips). The girls are looking great (kinda like a magazine photoshoot)! You girls rock!

*Enjoy
