Celebrity Criticism & Comebacks

Some celebrities actually read your hateful comments even when there are thousands of others doing the same, and one of these days they may even respond in a way you would've never have guessed.

There are a few celebrities that take criticism lightly over social networks and seem to brush it off. In the end, it really doesn’t matter what a few haters say right?  Well, in some instances these gods that we worship through music or other networks like to get back at their haters in the most humorous ways. A few including Anderson Cooper, Rihanna and Tom Anderson have their own simple ways of neglecting the harsh criticism that is thrown at them they do it with the wittiest of comebacks that it’s hard to lose their respect.

One of my favorites is Anderson Cooper and his openly gay but charming threats at people who are ignorant and childish. His best has to be responding to a tweet directed toward him stating “One great thing about #Putin he hates #gays #LGBT”. With his remark he said “For someone who claims to be straight, you sure do tweet and think a lot about gay men. Ever wonder why that might be?” If you share the same hatred for ignorant people who have no place to talk, you’re going to love Anderson Cooper’s tweets on the daily. 

Another favorite in the angry tweeting world is the famous singer, Rihanna. Although she may have a bad reputation in some areas of her life, she sure doesn’t seem to care what the critics have to say. When MTV tweeted at her with a snide remark about how her marijuana usage in public at Coachella sparked controversy, she had a simple but demeaning response of,  “@rihanna ran out of f*s to give”. This is derogatory but in a sense it gives me the notion that these celebrities are real people. They finally leave the immortal god status and join us on planet earth. I love seeing when celebrities speak the same way I do on social media: informal and funny. 

Last but not least the creator of Myspace tunes in with his so-called fans and goes straight for the kill on this one. Random annoying fan tweets “says the guy that can’t keep a social network alive”. Although this isn’t too bad of an insult, Tom takes it to heart and responds “says the guy who sold myspace for 580 million while you slave away hoping for a half day off.” Again, this just puts a smile on my face because if someone was ranting about my flaws or insecurities, I would definitely rant back, even though these mindless tweets mean next to nothing to the celebrities at hand. All I’m asking for is more celebrities to be real with their fans and critics and act like they belong with all the rest of us. If that means a few trash talking tweets, then count me in.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
