Kenny Chesney's House Goes Under in Nashville

We all know how much of a pain sandbagging can be and how emotional a flood can be. Losing personal belongings is not fun. A flood can stress a lot of people out especiall when it comes to their family, friends, and work. Country singer, Kenny Chesney has now experienced this natural desaster. After his 40 acre property was under water the emotions start flowing. Along with other stars from Nashville, most of them got their personal belongings out. Brad Paisley says, "On the positive side everyone is safe. On the negative, I think all my road guitar gear, amps, effects, are all under 3ft. water." Another star LeAnn Rimes comments, "Omg, I've been in tears for the last hour, I love you Nashville." I think that many of these stars won't have a problem replacing any of the person items they lost. They can afford it with no problems. We live in a small town and it would be way harder for us to replace things. But all the stars that aren't affected by this flood, are praying for everyone is Nashville.

Fatty foods may cause cocain-like addiction

A new study in rats suggested that high-fat, high-calorie foods affect the brain in about the same way cocaine and heroin do. When rats consume foods like bacon, cheesecake, and other fatting foods, it leads to compulsive eating habits that resemble a drug addicion, the study found. Doing cocaine or eating too much fatty foods gradually overload the pleasure centers in the brain, according to Paul J. Kenny, Ph.D. an associate professor of molecular therapeutics at the Scripps Research Institute. "Eventually the pleasure centers "crash," and achieving the same pleasure or even just feeling normal, requites increasing the amounts of the drug or food, says Kenny. Kenny and his lab partner studied three groups of rats for 40 days. one group was fed regular rat food, second group was fed bacon, sausage, cheesecake, frosting, and other high-calorie foods but only for one hour each day and the third group was allowed to pig out on the unhealthy foods for up to 23 hours a day. The rats that were eating human food became obese quickly. Their brains also changed. It doesn't mean this will happen to humans but it can. When humans pig out to those un-healthy foods they end up obese. It is kind of sad they do these tests on rats but how else would they know about the study and what it does with the brain and other effects.

John Mayer Breaks Down on Stage over Playboy Interview

John Mayer has came out with some recent songs that a lot of people like. His music is kind of different then what I listen to but I have nothing against it. He recently was interviewed in the Playboy magazine and used the N word when talking about the hood. Right after the interview he has to explain to everyone that he did not intend for the word to be racist, he was trying to refer to the group of people from the hood. On twitter he apologizes and says, "It was arrogant of me to think that I could intellectualize using it, because I realize that there is no intellectualizing a word that is so emotionally charged." John performed a concert in Nashville later that night. He stopped in the middle of one of his songs and broke down. He appoligized for using that word and he even cried. Just because he is famous, I do not think it gives him a right to use that word. It is very unnecessary and offending to other people. He should think over what he is going to say before he says it infront of the media. Appoligizing for something you already did and can't take back, is tough for some fans to forgive. John's insident should open up the eyes of other stars, so they all can learn from this and watch what they say. They are suppose to be role models for younger people.

Fast Five

In 2011 Fast Five is hitting the theaters. This will be the fifth fast and furious movie made. The first one is always going to be the best but they are all pretty good so far. In the fifth one Paul Walker and Vin Diesel are still going to be playing their same characters. In 2 fast 2 furious, which is the second movie, Vin Diesel isn't in that one. Instead Tyrese takes his roll and does a good job. It would be better if they kept the same characters for all the movies. In this fifth movie, Vin will play Dominic Toretto, and Paul will play, Brian O'Connor. This should be a good one. Hopefully it will be the last one because pretty soon people will start losing their taste for the fast and furious movies.

Spencer Pratt's Opinion on Heidi Montag's plastic surgeries.

Heidi Montag has undergone many plastic surgeries to make herself look better. For example, to make her lips look better and other parts of her body that she wasn't satasfied with. She is married to Spencer Pratt and he doesn't express his opinion on it that much. They were both stars on the T.V. show "The Hills." I think she should be happy with the way she looked in the first place. There can be complications with plastic surgery, no one is going to be perfect. In the article about Spencers opinion, Heidi says" At the end of the day we do share the same opinion: It's my body and I need to feel comfortable as a woman." I agree with her that you should feel comfortable with yourself and who you are, but I don't think ten plastic surgeries are necessary. Spencer should also have a say in that many surgeries. I think Heidi may have an obession with the way she looks.
