Kara DioGuardi Fired From American Idol?

Just some days after the announcement of Ellen DeGeneres about her leaving American Idol, reports have it that Kara DioGuardi is also out of the reality-based singing contest due to being "fired". This is in line with sources that are connected with the negotiations being done for the tenth season of the hit show.
The reports that are being released over the cyberspace tell that the number of judges will be back to three. With the anticipation that everything will be ironed out, the panel of judges will consist of the remaining original judge Randy Jackson, multi-awarded singer Jennifer Lopez, and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.


Kara DioGuardi was said to have the chance of staying on American Idol Season 10 only if the J-Lo deal would not be realized. However, the thing about Jennifer Lopez appears to be a done deal already.
It can be recalled that Kara DioGuardi just joined American Idol during its eighth season making her become part of FOX's reality competition for two years. Her entrance paved way for the shakeup of the three-judge format. Meanwhile, the exit of Ellen DeGeneres makes her stay for just one year.
Whatever next with happen to Kara DioGuardi, the entrance of new judges is one of the many things that Idol viewers must watch out for.

Jessi Slaughter and Cyber-bullying

Another case of cyberbullying has become a hot topic on most forums and has become very popular on Google. In fact, it has made it to the top 1 as the most searched keyword on Google for the last 10 hours.


This is about the case of Jessi Slaughter (just a screen name) an 11-year old girl who has been getting violent reactions from her video that she uploaded on Youtube. The reactions, especially on the forum site called 4chan, has gone so violent to the point that the girl has been receiving death threats already.

What is Cyber-bullying?

Cyber-bullying is any harassment that occurs via the Internet. Vicious forum posts, name calling in chat rooms, posting fake profiles on web sites, and mean or cruel email messages are all ways of cyberbullying.

Jessi's case is a case of violence creating violence. It all started when Jessi uploaded a video on Youtube, with a username Kerligirl13, as a response to the nasty comments that she got from her live video chat channel on Stickcam. Her video on Youtube contains language you would not expect to hear from an 11-year old.

What is disturbing on hervideo is her statement that she would "pop a Glock in your mouth and make your brain a slushie" - which means she would use a gun against someone and fire it to their brain. She even formed her hand into a gun like trying to show that she's "shooting."

This news has gone so big that Jessi is invited to appear on Good Morning America. Watch the video below:



Again, the proper way to deal with cyber-bullying follow these rules:

Stop - Block - Tell

1. Stop responding to haters. Stop replying violent reactions with violent words. Don't answer back to violent people.
2. Block them from your e-mail or if the bullying is on Youtube, block them from your channel or from your facebook account.
3. Tell. Report the harassment to authorities. While ignoring the bully be sure to save the evidence so that school officials, Internet providers and even the police can properly deal with the bully. Cyberbullying may give bullies anonymity but it always leaves evidence.

Is Mel Gibson Dead?

It's been a trending topic on Twitter that the Braveheart star, Mel Gibson has recently died. Is this nasty news true or just another hoax on the Internet?



Well, I made a little research and I saw a post on USPostToday.com
Gibson is not dead, but he doesn’t seem to be doing too good either.

A lot of negative things have happened in his life in the last few weeks, culminating with the release of the tapes in which he is threatening his ex-girlfriend.

So there you have it. Mel Gibson is not dead. Maybe his career is. Kidding!

On the other side of the news, I saw this video trailer of a rumored upcoming movie. And the star is the cutest Dora the Explorer, except this time, she's in flesh not animated.

Dan Gilbert Says Lebron James is Narcissistic





Dan Gilbert, the owner of Cleveland Cavaliers, says LeBron James is narcissistic for leaving the team behind. This is in relation to Lebron James deliberate transfer from Cleveland Cavaliers to Miami Heat joining Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.

Lebron James was quoted saying on ESPN:

"... the things that the Miami Heat franchise have done, to free up cap space and be able to put themselves in a position this summer to have all three of us, it was hard to turn down. Those are two great players, two of the greatest players that we have in this game today." 

Gilbert also added that LebRon's move was a "cowardly betrayal" on his open letter to the Cavaliers fans.

This is how the open letter goes,
"Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us."
To read the full transcript of the open letter, please click here.



What exactly does the term "narcissistic" mean?

Narcissistic personality disorder is characterised by self-centredness, self-absorption and an inability to recognise their behaviour's effects on other people. People with narcissistic personality disorder won’t hesitate to take advantage of other people in order to achieve their goals, and will use people without the slightest regard for their feelings. Narcissists have an inflated sense of self and usually have an intense desire for admiration from other people.
