Charlie Sheen gets New Gig

Charlie Sheen Gets New Gig
Have you asked yourself lately where Charlie Sheen has been? Just a few months ago he was platered all over the tabloids, on our TV screens and on our morning news. Then the hype about Sheen siply slipped away. News has it Sheens got a new gig.
While CBS hit show "Two and a Half Men" said "see ya" to Sheen, apparently Sheen picked up the pieces brushed off the dust and moved on full speed ahead. Joe Roth, who produced many of Charlies movies came knocking at Sheens door and gave the guy a gift. A new main roll in a hit new series where Sheen will repotedly have "a signifigant ownership stake" on the show. The show is a spin off of the comedy hit movei "Anger Management". The original movie starred Adam sandler and Jack Nicholson. Sheen is reported to be playing a man with severe anger managemnt issues. Some say the role is perfectly suited to Sheen.  Roth said hes thrilled to work again with Sheen and apparently Sheen feels  the same.
Charlie Sheen has had his moments in the past however he seems to come through without a scratch and now is being given another chance to prove his talent to thousands of fans. We want to know what you think. Does Charlie Sheen get SNAPs for his talent and loyalty to fans or a GAG thumbs down for his horrendous behavior through the years?

Gay and Giving Blood

GAY and GIVING BLOOD!
Recently Aaaron Pace a 22 year old from Indiana went to "Bio Blood Components Inc." to donate blood. When he was in the interview process he was rejected and wanted to know why. He was told that he appeared to be gay and for that reason was not allowed to continue to donate his blood.
While this may sound like discrimination to most, surprisingly it is not. According to a law passed by the FDA in 1983 all men who had sex with other men since or beyond 1977 were banned from giving blood. The law was passed because at the time there was no way to test the blood to ensure it was not HIV positive. With the growing epidemic at that time of AIDS the FDA thought it be best if Homosexual men were banned from giving blood.
Pace was outraged for 2 reasons. One, he said "Its not right that homeless people can give blood but homosexuals can't" and two because he said "and I'm not even a homosexual." According to the "Chicago Sun Times" he is "admittedly and noticeably effeminate, however he says he is not gay.
Unfortunately that isn't the point here. According to recent studies hospitals lose hundreds of thousands of pints of blood each year due to homosexuals not being allowed to contribute blood to needy banks. It's ludicrous to not allow someone to perform an act of kindness based on his/her sexuality. We have come so far towards breaking barbaric barriers down and now celebrate every ones right towards equality. Same sex couples can now wed in many of our states and so many feel less alone due to an outpouring of love supporting all sexualities. This FDA law is primitive. It certainly served its purpose in 1983 when we had no way of knowing if blood would test positive for HIV. No one would want HIV to become an enormous epidemic again. However now our resources can test the blood in the banks and ensure it is pure to give to those in need. Anyone willing to give blood to save another human life should be given the right to do just that. The FDA needs to review and reevaluate this law. Think of the many lives that could be saved by eliminating just one little law. The FDA is getting the GAG thumbs down. Time to get with the times...everyone healthy should be able to DONATE BLOOD!

RHONJ Teresa Giudice Are You Team Teresa?

 Housewives have been a trending television topic as of late and the epidemic is growing rapidly. Among the many housewife shows one of the more favored is the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The girls are gorgeous and the drama is seldom deemed dull. But the real reason the Jersey girls are getting the Good Advice Guru SNAPs of approval is due to the "Fabulicious" and unpretentious personality of super star, Teresa Giudice.
Most Housewife shows portray women who live luxurious lavish lifestyles and are almost always un-relatable. Sure we'd all like to become a girl who "has it all" so to speak but the likelihood of that happening is slim to none at best. For some reason however, this particular Jersey girl has a super star quality so special, it makes you feel as though shes exactly like you. Teresa Giudice is a mom, like many. She puts her friends and family first, like many. She lives her life to the fullest, like many and has a heart made of pure gold, like so very many. Although she seems to live "the good life" there's something common and familiar about Teresa. She's not afraid to show she makes mistakes and invites the world to see when she does. Teresa doesn't boast about the "goods shes got" and although she seemingly spends a fortune in the first few episodes, she doesn't come off to the average "Joe" ( no pun intended) as pretentious or gloaty. Instead, comes across as a sweet simple Italian housewife from Jeresy. A mother who loves nothing more then to give her girls everything they deserve and protect and love her whole family with every inch of who she is. 
As a mother of four gorgeous little girls she dresses them in delicious, to die for dresses and over the top outfits that any girly girl would hope and wish for. Complete with accessories, bows and purses to match, each of her daughters are "poshed" up like little princesses and once in a while,  even mommy matches. In an early episode Teresa and her girls, dressed to the nines, come from a shopping trip to meet Joe ( her husband) for dinner. He's a man a very few words, but during the dinner Teresa shares she's spent a fortune shopping. She then says a statement she utters frequently throughout the series. She says "Happy wife, Happy Life". And during an episode interview "Juicy Joe" ( which Teresa calls him) reveals he's happy if she's happy. He does joke about hiding the credit cards when Teresa is around but ultimately he's content to see the four wonderful women in his life living the lifestyle he wants them to live. 
As sweet and heart felt as Teresa is, she is after all a "Jersey girl", and Jersey girls come fully equipped with attitude and terrible tempers to boot. She's not someone to reckon with. When Danielle crossed over to Teresa's bad side  the first two seasons there was no doubt in the minds of viewers that eventually the two would soon feud. There was also no doubt that the Italian tempered Teresa would wipe the floor with the less dominating Danielle. Teresa DID NOT disappoint! Fans were left with a table flipping, anger filled, drama drowned episode that made RHONJ make its mark in the TV hall of fame of fabulous fights. And amongst TV fights and feuds, this one was ranked up there with the best. The sweet "Fabulicious" cook book creating queen, put family first, amazing housewife/mommy suddenly turned into temper tantrumed, big blow out oober Bitch. And fans couldn't have been happier with the outcome.  Danielle was definitely deemed the loser in this blow out and Giudice went from simple unknown housewife to Teresa Giudice famous gorgeous girl with a "Bangin Jersey Bod", a great BIG Jersey smile and a Jersey tough girl temper. Snooki was no longer Jerseys most famous female.
This season RHONJ brought in Teresa's brother and sister-in-law Joey and Melissa Gorga. Fans aren't feeling the love for the duo, as many believe Melissa just joined the show to out shine her sister-in-law. That and to out the financial foes the Giudice family has been facing as of late. Melissa tries tirelessly to play the victim to Teresa's so called antics but the fans are standing behind their favorite Jersey girl. Teresa has the love and support of over 80% of the viewers.  Many have even mentioned if Melissa wants to keep her place on the show, she should try as tirelessly to make amends with Teresa rather than bellowing and bad mouthing as she has been. In a recent pole taken by the shows network "Bravo" over 78% of the viewers watching just that evening were totally on Teresa's side. Melissa may not be the menace shes appears to be, but she made a major mistake in her debut episode. She came in guns blazing tearing down Teresa and stabbing at the superstar before viewers even got the chance to like her. She claims she wants peace for her family and her only intentions are for her husband to be happy. But still, she continues to create drama between the two siblings making caddy instigating remarks about Teresa to her husband. Teresa sticks to a motto she has had since the beginning that she always puts family first "my family is the most important thing to me" she states. She not only says that statement sincerely but she shows it as well. Teresa and "Juicy Joe" ( her husband) have hit some terrible times. Teresa lives in a house without home furnishing but she takes a tip from Tammy Wynnet and "Stands by Her Man" through think and thin. Fans haven't seen any evidence from Melissa as of yet, that if the tables were turned and she had to work for food and mortgage would she do the same and "Stand By her Man? Many fans are  skeptical about Melissa's intetnions and about her feelings towards Teresa.  Teresa may sometimes live in a world of her own, denying that things are falling down around her. But when push comes to shove the "Fabulicious" gorgeous girl has proven time and again... No one can break her down.. after all she's a Jersey girl. This Jersey girl gets  Good Advice Guru SNAPs of approval. Your Fans are forever with you all the way and we'll even give you second SNAPs Teresa Giudice..and  SNAPs for the 'FABULICIOUS Giudice family as well.
