Melissa Leo does a No-No

During the 2011 Academy awards this actress accidentally swore at the crowd - she dropped the f-bomb in her acceptance speech, ‘it was just so f****** easy!" Of course the media was immediately in uproar. But who really cares? It’s not like we haven’t heard it before. Sure if it was the 30's and only sailors and criminals swore, but it’s not. Face it - I’ve heard nine year olds say worse things. So she said a little swear word in the heat of the moment - who cares?

The academy awards are a production aimed at congratulating people who already make millions of dollars a year on their movies. They all dress really fancy and we all talk about them for days afterwards. They’re geared towards people who can’t afford to wear such fancy clothes, and those who like movies. But they’re not important, it’s not like entire nations watch it when it’s on, most countries didn’t even have the program run live, so they could easily have edited it out if need be. So why was it pasted all over the headlines? People have written blogs about how offended they are that she would say such a thing. How could people really be so offended about this? I’m more shocked about how the media reacted to her little slip of the tongue than the fact that she actually did it.

V.C. Andrews - ?

Since I was a little kid, probably about eleven or twelve, I have been reading V.C. Andrews books. These books are all very good and I love the way they are written. The characters in her books are mostly young women between the ages of sixteen and twenty five. These women usually go through something traumatic and they end up falling in love with their brother. They are generally richer white women with daddy issues. I think V.C. Andrews was a very disturbed woman. All of the books have very easy to guess plot lines, but they’re a good read when you’re laying on the beach..


People who read the types of books Andrews writes are mostly women who like a good thriller that has a sexy edge. They’re very easy reading and a lot of them have quite a bit of suspense.



My only problem with her books, is that V.C. Andrews A.K.A. Cleo Virgina Andrews has been dead since December 19, 1986. So how is it that she has been writing books every year since then? I am currently reading one of her new releases. I just don’t understand. Her family is making all of the profits from her books still and she isn’t even writing these books. Nobody knows who has been writing these books - the author and writing style, even the plot lines are exactly how Andrews wrote for 15 years before her death. But no credit is ever given to the current author of these books. I don’t think it’s right that someone is using her name for their own fame - they’re probably not even making very much money off of it, because she is gaining all the credit. But that won’t stop this copy cat author from making more books and money off of her legacy. I suppose it doesn’t really matter though - her family has no complaints, they’re still making money. And the author clearly isn’t doing too bad, they’ve been faking it for over 20 years. So as long as everyone is happy it shouldn’t concern me or any other readers, because the books are still good, no loss of quality or frequency has occurred.
