12 Ways To Become Famous In America

The drastic desire for fame is taking over society. People go to extraordinary lengths for their fifteen minutes of fame. It seems in present times it takes little to no talent for one to rise to fame. In the age of reality TV shows and social media, America is eating it up. As you dream of your walk down the red carpet, consider these twelve ways to get you on the cover of "People" magazine.

1. Make a sex tape with a mediocre rapper.

2. Have a rich dad and make a TV show. Then, take a charity trip to Africa with a few photo ops to clean up the spoiled rich girl image. Don't worry, UNICEF's PR team will come to your rescue.

3. Live on a trashy beach in New Jersey and do nothing but drink too much and sleep around. Then make a TV show about it.

4. Play baseball and test positive for steroids

5. Tweet something racist. MSNBC will destroy you and Fox News will try to come to your rescue.

6. Get pregnant at 16 and make a TV show about it.

7. Fall in love with a supermodel on Facebook and email that really hairy guy from MTV so he can make a TV show about it.

8. Date an athlete and break up with him. Your name will be thrown around consistently with his loses on Sports Center. Of course it's not due to his poor abilities, it must be your fault for breaking his hurt.

9. Dress up your two-year-old like a forty-five-year-old hooker and make her walk around a stage so she can be judged on her "beauty." Then, make a TV show about it.

10. Join a weird Christian cult and have 100 kids. Then make a TV show about it.

11. Be a little person and make a TV show about it.

12. Be a President's or politician's mistress. Then deny it publicly. The more you deny, the more news interviews you'll get. After all, a recorded apology press conference can only be replayed so many times.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
