Here's a list of thoughts:

• I took my little cousin to see Transformers this past Friday and it actually turned out to be a movie I enjoyed. I wasn't really expecting much out of a "boyish" action film about robots that transform, but it had a little bit of everything; military, action, kiddy puppy dog romance. I enjoyed it and will definitely get it when it comes out on DVD. My next trip is to see Harry Potter!
• I went to a baseball game yesterday with my mom & the church group. It had been scheduled for about 2 months so I couldn't get out of it. It was boring as hell though; it was too hot to think about anything other than how sweaty you were. I was sweating buckets...I hate being hot. But it was nice to get out of the house for a change. They had a Jars of Clay concert directly after but we didn't stay for long.
• My classes start on August 20th. I'm ready to go as this is my last semester here before I transfer! I have everything set and my classes signed up for. I go this Wednesday to take my placement test for my math to see if I can get into College Algebra, if not I'm stuck with Probability & Statistics.
• I broke up with Albert (boyfriend) yesterday and I honestly haven't felt so relieved in awhile. It sounds harass to say that because it's as if I'm saying "oh I don't care/love him," I do but just not in the way I want/wanted too. After trying so hard & doing everything that one feels she should do too make sure that the other is happy & the relationship is a strong one & keeping communication open, and not getting any help from the other party it becomes too much. I realized in the last month or so that the words "I do care, I do love you, I do want to be with you" meant nothing to him...if they did, he would have showed it and believe me I gave him plenty of time & space to allow him to show me and he never did. I went with how I felt for once and did what I felt was best for me and I'm glad.

Bob Barker endorsed his friend Rosie O'Donnell as a possible successor on "The Price Is Right," although the newly retired host isn't sure CBS wants a woman to take over the game show.

"I believe they're going to have a meeting with Rosie," Barker said backstage Friday night at the Daytime Emmy Awards, where he won his 19th trophy.

"She knows the show," he said. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know. I've never heard that discussed. As far as I know, they've only auditioned men."

Barker said his friendship with O'Donnell goes back several years, when she had him as a guest on her old daytime talk show.

"She told me she loved `The Price Is Right' and wanted to host it one day," he recalled.

Among those mentioned as possible replacement hosts have been Todd Newton of the E! network, Mark Steines of "Entertainment Tonight," George Hamilton and John O'Hurley.

Barker retired last week at age 83 after 35 years of giving away vacations and cars on the hit CBS game show. But he said he may be back with some specials featuring vintage clips and guests.

"If it works out, I'd like to do that," he said.   Source

All I have to say is this: if they make Rosie the new host of the Price Is Right the show is done for. I absolutely hate the woman, and anything that she has ever touched has been ruined; just look at The View...granted, ratings may have been up for some time but look at the rude, snide comments she made and the people she pissed off. It's one thing to be opininated and not have a problem sharing your views, comments and thoughts with the world and those around you but it's a completely different ball game when you're just flat out ignorant with the comments you make. Much like the comment Rosie made on The View a few weeks back calling U.S. troops the real terroists in Iraq. Stupid people, I tell you.

I'm sick of hearing about this spoiled brat to be honest with you as I am sure most people are, however what irks me is what has been going on with her as of lately. She was sentenced to a 45 day jail stay because of violating her parole and driving with a suspended liscense. Said sentence was cut down to 23 days because of "good behavior"; how the hell do you receive good behavior days when you hadn't even been to jail yet? It makes no sense. Yesterday, she was released per a medical condition after 3 days. No medical condition is so great that it should warrant early release from any sentence (unless you're dying!).

I could careless about Paris Hilton, but the fact that she was released WAY early from her sentence pissed me off along with milliosn of other people. Maybe it is because I know someone who is personally locked away in jail for a rightful reason for many years and yet her she is, someone with fame and fortune, and actually has to face the fact that she screwed up and gets out of it early because she was going to have a nervous breakdown. Maybe I should get my ex boyfriend (whom is locked up) to yell wolf and claim medical reason after reason as to why he would be better off at home...yeah right that would never happen. It's been stated that any medical condition that she has can be delt with via the prison doctors etc.

And so this morning, Paris Hilton was drug back to the court and told by the same judge that sentenced her that she will finish her jail sentence out in the jail and not at home; after all this judge TOLD her when he sentenced her to being with that she was not allowed to serve her sentence at home with electronic monitoring devices. It's about time someone actually steps up to the plate and does not allow a celebrity use their fame & fortune for their stupid mistakes and actually is making her FACE what she has done. She should be grateful she isn't locked away for years...
