Celebrities in the News

I'm not one to follow celebrities all the time, but I felt like my blogs were in need of some celebrity news. I couldn't decide at first who I wanted to include in my blog, but I finally decided that I should discuss two different celebrities that I am sure everyone knows. These celebrities are in the process of making a big impact. First, I'm going to tell you about a cancer patient who asked a certain celebrity to prom and how she replied. For the second celebrity, I'm going to tell you what he has decided to do for Joplin seniors.

According to The Daily Caller, "Kevin McGuire of Somerdale, N.J. started a Facebook campaign with his sister to try to get Swift to come to his prom." He has been suffering from lukemia since he was thirteen years old and his sister says that nothing brightens his day more than Taylor Swift. The facebook campaign reached ninety thousand followers. (Can you believe that?) Taylor was sweet enough to reply. She had to decline his request to take her to his senior prom, but she countered his request by asking him to the AMC awards. I do not know any other celebrity that would be that sweet. I had a lot of respect for Taylor Swift before reading about this, but now I have even more respect for her. I'm glad that she does not think she is "too good" or any better than other people just because she is a celebrity. He is such a lucky guy to have his sister care that much about him to help him get Taylor Swift to reply to him. He is even more lucky to have been invited to the AMCs. Way to go Kevin! Here is the facebook page incase you are curious.

The second celebrity is no other than our very own President of the United States. Before you leave my blog automatically, just hear me out. I know there are a lot of harsh feelings towards Barack Obama and that some of those harsh feelings come from my end as well, but he has agreed to do something that I think is awesome for Joplin students. According to foxnews.com, Obama spoke in Joplin a few days after the tornado and promised residents that "your country will be there with you every single step of the way." He atleast seems to be concerned about Joplin's people. And even if he is not the greatest president ever, would it not be awesome to have the President of the United States speak at your high school graduation?

So even though I am not usually the first to get excited over any celebrity news, these two stories caught my attention. I hope that you can take the time to look over both of them as well because I am pretty sure they would interest you too. If not, then I guess I should apologize for boring you (even though you didn't have to read all of this if you didn't want to). Have a great day guys! :)
