When I found out that the topic was celebrities this week, I chortled, laughed, what have you. So many celebs, so little time! So I decided to narrow it down, and write about someone who is timeless, many can say she's a legend. Who am I talking about? Charo, baby!
Oh Charo. How did you arrive...

"Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is another." –Erma Bombeck
There's no accounting for taste. After hearing teen pop music sensation Justin Bieber's name, Red Room's CEO Ivory Madison finally checked out one of his videos recently, and was completely mystified...

It can be for many reasons but it’s always for this one. The heart beats rapidly and then subsides. The hand reaches out to something, nothing in particular and then abandons this course.

He's cute, he's likeable, he's inoffensive, and like everyone else out there who has surprise fame or stardom, he earned it.

"Fame" I wrote a single ("American Starz")and created an album dedicated partially to the concept of Fame, only one song however eludes to my inspiration of said concept. As for Justion Bieber I will hint towards him in a sentence "or two". The difference...
