Have you noticed how much stuff is going on in the news/world. (Ahem, Cailtyn Jenner*). It seems like it's been a very busy few weeks in the news world and just in case you've been hiding under a rock, or just really busy, I thought I'd catch you up. **This is a pop culture news update. I understand, there is a lot more important things going on... like lots of people running for President, the Supreme Court Ruling in favor of a Muslim woman, ISIS is still the largest threat. I understand all that, but this is a little bit lighter of a news update. Enjoy!
1. Caitlyn Jenner, aka the former Bruce Jenner. I had Bruce Jenner as number 2 on my most fascinating people of 2014 list, and I have a feeling she will be there again this year. (please excuse me if I mess up pronouns, terms, phrases, etc, it is in no way to offend, I'm learning). In April, Bruce Jenner told Diane Sawyer in his exclusive interview that, "“For all intents and purposes, I’m a woman,” Jenner told Sawyer. He told Diane that he would debut "her" (at that time we hadn't learned her name) sometime later this year. Well, ladies and gents, that time is here. Caitlyn Jenner has officially been debuted.
2. The entire country is flooding. This is actually heartbreaking. Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Oklahoma have experienced a very wet couple days and for some of those states, it doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon. With thousands of people stranded, 30 people reported dead, this seems to be the latest in a string of devastating natural disasters. Keep those states in your prayers tonight.
3. I HATE that I have two Kardashian related things on my blog today, but it's news. Kim Kardashian and Kanye are expecting baby number two. Let the jokes start about "East West" and "South East" Personally I'm rooting for East West, just because.
4. This one is for my husband, but there are a lot of playoffs going on right now (or about to start). Chicago Blackhawks v. Tampa Bay Lightening (thats hockey for all you folks) and Golden State Warriors v. Lebron James (basketball people, come on!). Not that it matters, but I'm rooting for the Blackhawks and the Warriors. Go teams. Oh, and with sports, FIFA is in trouble. That's all I know. Something about the US not getting the bid for the World Cup. Sports.
5. TSA Officers just failed 67 out of 70 undercover tests used to challenge their ability to ID explosives and all kinds of things that aren't allowed on planes. Here's what they let through (all this stuff was fake, since it was a test); weapons, explosives, "unauthorized items" and the worst? A man triggered the alarm when going through the metal detector and they failed to notice a (fake) bomb strapped to his back. Ugh oh.
6. I'm not sure this is considered "news" but E.L. James is writing another 50 Shades of Grey, but this time from Christian's perspective. It comes out June 18th. I'll leave it at that.
7. Josh Duggar and the whole Duggar family are at the center of some very heated controversy. All I have to say about this is my heart breaks for the victims who were poorly treated then and are reliving it now. Maybe we should stop worrying about Josh and the Duggar's reputation and figure out how to stop/avoid/fix/help situations like this going forward. More thoughts on this? You should read Taylor's blog about this at The Daily Tay.
8. Let's end this on a happy note, Real Housewives of Orange County starts Monday (which also happens to be my birthday!!) Whoop Whoop. I love the housewives, what a great birthday gift.

Alright, you've read numbers 10-6, are you ready for the top 5 most fascinating people of 2014?
#5: Shia LeBeouf.
He started out as a child actor, and a pretty good one at that. He did entertaining movies like Transformers, Disturbia and Indiana Jones. Critics were hailing him as the next Tom Hanks, that was, until they weren't. Shia's fall from grace began when he assaulted his neighbor, got charged with criminal trespass, got into some car accidents and was arrested for disorderly conduct. It was then after his "artistic integrity" was attacked that he decided to wear this (see below) over his face and declare his retirement from all public life. I for one hope Shia brings it back, if at least for Louis from Even Stevens.
#4: Jennifer Aniston.
This has been a great year for all those on Team Aniston. She's happily engaged to Justin Theroux, getting serious Oscar attention for her role in Cake and defending a woman's right to work and not need to explain why she doesn't have babies yet. I've been pulling for her since the Pitt/Aniston demise of 2005 and I think she's winning in 2014. And hopefully her wedding dress will be better than the one Angelina Jolie let her kids draw all over. Team Aniston forever.
#3: Bill Cosby.
Regardless of your stance on whether or not he did it, I think we can all agree it's pretty damn fascinating that he refuses to talk about it! I mean hello. You are Bill Cosby and 20+ woman have accused you of some pretty heinous things and you're only response is to blame the black media. Maybe it's time to make a real statement and then everyone can decide how full of shit you are, I mean if you're lying or not. Maybe his next show will be, Women say the darnest things. Too soon?
#2: Bruce Jenner.
Red nail polish, french manicure, diamond earrings and a ponytail. No, Bruce Jenner is not a lady, but is he trying to become one? Debatable. Even so, he's totally having the best year ever. (1) He no longer has to be married to Kris Kardashian/Jenner - hallelujah! (2) He's the second prettiest Kardashian/Jenner lady around (3) He lives in Malibu on the beach and (4) Did I mention he is not longer married to Kris! Bruce, whatever you're doing, you're winning. 2014 is your best year since you were in the Olympics, enjoy it buddy.
#1: Blake Lively's Baby. Alright, if you haven't seen pregnant Blake Lively it's time to crawl out from under the rock you've been hiding and google her. She is the most stunning pregnant human I've ever seen. But that's not the fascinating part. The fascinating part is this new baby she's about to bring into the world. This baby is legitimately going to be raised by the two prettiest people in Hollywood. She is the daughter of Serena Wanderwoodsen (Gossip Girl, again with the rock people) And, she is the daughter of Ryan Reynolds, I hope no more explanation is needed. 2014 is a great year to be Blake Lively's baby and I think 2015 is going to be even better.
Everyone's familiar with Barbara Walter's 10 Most Fascinating People. While we can agree/disagree on who we think is fascinating (Kardashians? Really Barb?), I'm pretty sure I've come up with the 10 most fascinating people of 2014, or at least 10 people who are having a better year than you. Here are #10-6. I'm waiting to post #5-1 until New Years Eve just in case someone super cool comes in and surprises us. I mean Kylie Jenner got popular the minute she got lip-fillers so who knows what could happen in the next week and a half.
#10: Prince George.
He's a prince, he's adorable and his mom is Kate. I'm pretty sure, based on this face he's going to be a pretty awesome Prince. And who else can rock a sweater vest like that.
#9: Sam Smith.
Have you all seen his SNL performance? Holy moly. Once I saw that, I knew Sammy's 2014 was going to be better than everyone's. Then he went and did 'Not the only one,' 'Stay with me,' 'Lay me down' and 19 other amazing songs, renditions and duets. Need I say more? Sam is #wining.
#8: The Duggars.
They have 19 kids, three are married, one has 3 kids (aka 3 grandkids), another kid has a baby on the way and allegedly the 48 year old mom, Michelle is still trying for another baby. They have the #1 TV show on TLC and continue to make money going on trips, spreading their message and getting in all kinds of trouble on facebook. Wanna know what I find most fascinating? That the mom was able to come up with 19 'J' names, that takes some skills! Go Duggars, you're having your year.
#7: Men who decorate their beards.
Have you guys seen this trend? Buzzfeed did a whole article on it. I understand the "lumberjack" style is becoming the new popular version of 'sexy'. But honestly, all I can think about is how much it must itch and how heavy your chin hair must be. But props to you guys, you brought positive attention to your facial hair. This won't happen again, soak it in boys.
#6: Gia Giudice.
For those of you who don't instantly recognize that name, I suggest you get cable and watch Real Housewives of New Jersey right away. She's the sassy 13-year old daughter of Teresa Giudice. Yes, the Teresa who is about to head off to jail because she 'forgot' to report things like a 10-carat diamond ring, Ferraris' and boats on her tax-returns "I just sign anything". Anyways, back to Gia. She's 13 and has a band called 3KT. She remakes songs like Circus by Britney Spears and most recently released a Christmas jam. Looks like this little Giudice might be her family's saving grace as her mom and and dad head off to the slammer. Here's her (slutty) rendition of Circus. Here's her new Christmas jam. And, here's her picture. Go Gia. This will be your last best year for a while.
#10: Prince George.
