Happy Thursday, Gang!

I hope that you all are doing well, and are still preparing for the holiday’s! I know that I am ready to be with friends and family for the occasion, so let’s hope that the Thanksgiving Day will be a good one! What are YOU all doing? Where will YOU be traveling to, or is family coming to your home? I hope that everyone has some good plans in the works! And remember, the Thanksgiving holiday is all about giving thanks, so make sure that you are thankful for all that you have!

Well, last night was the big night for Reba and Kelly. Unfortunately, they did not win, but I think that they gave the competition a good run for their money, nonetheless. There were a lot of great singers that were also in the category that they were in, so I think that they at least had some good company!

Are you all still attending those concerts? Kelly is doing some killer performances ( isn’t she always? LOL) and many of YOU have been in attendance! If you have already been to one of Kelly’s shows, tell us all about it! I know that many of us would be very interested to hear about the concert!

Oh yes, and before I forget, let me give you all something else that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my home. Although it is not exactly where we want to live anymore, it keeps us warm, and gives us shelter, so for that, I am very grateful!

Until tomorrow, gang! Peace!

Thanksgiving Day, Reba and Kelly

Happy Wednesday, gang!

I hope that you all are having a great week so far! I can not believe that we are halfway through the week already! Do you all have any good plans for this weekend? I think that I have a lot of articles that I need to take care of, so I am going to be here this weekend hacking away at the computer! Nonetheless, I love what I do, so it is all worth it! I mean, where else can you have the luxury from working from home all the while getting paid? And in your pajamas too? Love it!

Tonight is the night that Reba and Kelly are both up for the CMA award for Music event of the year. I really hope that they win it, but even if they don’t at least it was a good running! Keep your fingers, crossed, gang! It’s going to be a nail biter for sure! Make sure that you tune into ABC at 7 central tonight to catch all of the fun unfold!

Also, in the note of staying “thankful”, I wanted to share another thing that I am thankful for today. I am ALWAYS thankful for having the internet. Seriously. I am thankful that there is such a communication where we can instantly talk to one another, and I can work from home. How cool is it to have information at the click of a mouse? Think about it, without the internet, you wouldn’t be reading this! LOL

Until tomorrow, gang! Cheers!

Reba and Kelly, CMA award for Music event of the year

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I hope that you all have survived Halloween with a good fright or two, and lots of candy! Where we live, we do not get any trick-or-treaters, which is a bummer, but hey, more candy for us, right? I do miss watching the little kids in their adorable costumes, trying as hard as they can to say trick-or-treat. It’s usually “twick or tweet” or something like that…they are just adorable!

Tonight, our gal Kelly is in the windy city….Chicago, that is! She will be performing tonight at the Chicago Theatre. If you have tickets to go, or have already been to one of her shows, tell us about it! I am sure that there are many fun stories that you can tell us, too! For a complete list of her upcoming tour dates, check out the blog entry that I posted here, and you can see when she is coming to a town near you!

Also, do not forget to swing by Kelly’s official website, which is located at www.kellyclarkson.com, and register to win an autographed Fender guitar, as well as a carrying case. You’re sure to be the envy of the neighborhood with that one! Sign up to win – I’d be so happy if one of my readers won!

A friendly reminder, too; tomorrow is the last installment of the video clips from the behind-the-scenes footage of the My December Tour, as posted on her official website. I am sure that it you will not want to miss it!

Until tomorrow, gang! Peace!

TGIF, gang!

I hope that you all have had a great week, and are ready for the weekend! Was yesterday’s announcement cool or what??? I can’t believe that they are giving away a signed guitar from Kelly! That is just too damn cool for all of us that are huge fans! If you did not get a chance to ready about it, check out yesterday’s post here. I want all of us to sign up, and hope that one of us wins! Too much fun! What a great way to ring in the holidays!

Kelly is stilling singing her way though the states on her My December tour! I hope that you all have had the chance to go and check her out in concert! It is sure to be a great concert! If you have already attended, do tell us all about it! I am sure that all of us would be very interested in hearing how everything happened for the concert! She puts on a great show every time, from what I hear, so I am sure that no one would be disappointed!

Also, keep checking back here for more contest information! There’s some great stuff that is lined up, and is sure to make you all, the fans and readers, quite happy! Keep tuning in – you’re NOT going to want to miss this!

That’s all from my neck of the woods today! I hope that you all have a great weekend! Catch you all

Happy Friday, gang!

And what a great Friday it is!!!! I just received an e-mail from Kelly’s official website stating that they are giving away one (1) Squier Strat guitar by Fender

as well as a Road Runner carrying case!

< Do you know what the best part about the contest is, gang??? The guitar is signed by Kelly! How much would you LOVE to win a Fender guitar that has been signed by Kelly??!!??? I don’t know about you, but I have already signed up to add my name to the mix in the hopes that I will win it! I can’t imagine that I will, as there will be thousands that will sign up for this surprise, but hey, I have a one in several thousand chances that I WILL win! We’ve always gotta look at the cup as half full, people! LOL

Also stated in the e-mail was that the third video from Kelly’s behind-the-scenes footage is now available! For the last 3 Friday’s, including today, the website is posting the videos for everyone to view! Next Friday, November 2, is the last time that the videos will be published, as there are only 4 installments. So make sure that you swing by the website at www.kellyclarkson.com to check it all out! While you are there, register for that guitar!

Don’t forget to keep checking back HERE for the latest in Kelly concert and breaking news! I will bring you all the latest information on Kelly info as possible!

Happy Tuesday, Gang!

I hope that your week has been going off to a great start, and that you are getting some reprieve from heat if you all are in a hot state like I am! I can’t wait until it cools off some! This heat is just too much! LOL

Speaking of hot things (you like me segway there? LOL) have you all been checking out Kelly on her [tag]My December tour[tag] at a concert hall near you? So far, she has played in New York and New Jersey, and if you haven’t bought your concert tickets yet, what the heck are you waiting for? Check out your local Ticketmaster, or check in with your local concert hall where she is playing to see how you can get tickets! Also, if you are a fan club member, make sure that you use your code, which is provided when you sign into the fan club, as well as sign up to see if you can get meet and greets with Kelly! I am sure that she would love to see YOU, so make sure that you are signed up for the opportunity to see her! You never know, you could be standing next to Kelly and gushing to her about how much you love her ( ok, so that might be more my dream than yours, but still, you know you’ll do it!).

If you missed yesterday’s blog about the opening show for Kelly’s tour, you can check it out here! Also, I am still calling out for those of you that may have been to one of her shows to submit me your video or pics so that I can share them with everyone here! I know that we would all love to and hear about how the show went!

Until tomorrow, gang!

Peace

TGIF, gang!

I don’t know about you, but this week has been one hellofa week! Let’s just say that I am really happy that the weekend is coming up! Does anyone have plans to go to the concert tonight in Atlantic City, NJ at the Borgata Hotel Casino? I hope that you all have fun, and that you have some meet and greet passes so you can see her! Also, this Sunday night, she will be singing in New York City, New York, at the Beacon Theatre for three nights in a row! As a member of her fan club, I have seen that some of you have won meet and greet passes to see her, and I could not be happier for you all!

I was searching through Kelly’s online store for her new tour merchandise, and I must admit that I think this tour has the best shirts yet! I always like buying tour shirts from the concerts that I attend. Come to think of it, I think that tour shirts are really the only thing that I buy. If you attend a concert, do you buy souvenirs? If so, what do you purchase?

I have been searching the net for concert pics that people have released from her first concert night on Wednesday in Verona and to no avail so far! My next plan is to ask if anyone in the fan club would have pictures that they are willing to share on here! I know that you all would love to see them, too!

I hope that you all have a happy and safe weekend! Here’s something to make you smile over the weekend!

Until Monday, all! Peace!

Atlantic City, NJ at the Borgata Hotel Casino, Beacon Theatre

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

I hope that you all have had a great week so far! Today is only bound to get better, as Kelly kicks off her My December tour tonight, in Verona, NY, as I blogged about here. I hope that you all get the opportunity to go and see her, and possibly meet her with a meet and greet, courtesy of the fan club! I can’t wait to hear all of your stories, too, about how the concert went! Also, make sure that you check with Ticketmaster to see if there are still tickets that are available in your area, in case you have not snatched up any tickets already! It is sure to be an awesome tour!

Are YOU going to any of her concerts? If so, which one? Are you going with friends? By yourself? We wanna know! You can tell us all about it in the comment section below!

Also, don’t forget that the month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Kelly has teamed up with Ford for their Warriors in Pink program, and is their spokesperson. If you check out their MySpace page, it mentions the Warriors in Pink program! You can add them as a friend, and see exclusive footage of Kelly promoting the program…footage that can not be seen anywhere else!

Also, if there are any Tom Green fans out there, check out my OTHER blog here at 451 Press, www.TomGreenWatch.com. It is updated on the same days as this blog, and is sure to bring you some laughs!

I hope that those of you that go to the concert tonight, have an AWESOME time! Rock on!

Until tomorrow, gang! Peace!

My December tour, Verona, NY

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

I hope that you all are recouping well from the Turkey extravaganza (for our Canadian friends), and from any shopping that you may have done with the Columbus Day sales. The work week is back in swing, but at least it will be a short one, this week!

Are you all getting ready for Kelly and her My December tour? She is getting ready to hit the road this week, with her first how is tomorrow! Are you going to the show, as talked about here? How excited are you??!!?? I hope that you all take the time to tell us how your experience went! Of course, if you have any videos or pictures that you want to share from the concert, I am happy to put them here on the blog! I know that all of us are excited for her concert! I am sure that it will receive great reviews!

So yesterday, we talked about paying it forward by doing things such as sharing a smile with a stranger. What have you all done to help pay it forward? Have you volunteered at a local shelter to hand out food? Have you donated blood to your local Red Cross? think that it is great to tell people how we have helped others, as it is often encouragement for others to do the same.

I hope that you all have a great day! I am so excited for those of you that get to see Kelly tomorrow night! I can’t wait to hear all about it!

Until tomorrow gang! Peace!

My December tour, Red Cross

Happy Monday, everyone!

I hope that you all are enjoying the Columbus Day holiday as well as Thanksgiving today! What did you all do? I did nothing fun, other than work on articles!

As I posted in a the Warrior In Pink blog last week, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Did you know that men can also receive breast cancer? Therefore, it is very important to make sure that you give yourself a breast exam when you can. For women, you can conduct a self-breast exam in the shower. If you feel any lumps in your breasts, no matter how big or small, make sure that you are proactive and make a schedule to see your doctor so they can check it out. In some instances, it may be normal, as it a mass of tissue ( this is true when a female is on her menstrual cycle). One in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. I have known 3 women in my life, all who are dear to me, who have had breast cancer, and were lucky enough to catch it early on. Ok, so why all of this talk about breast cancer? Because Kelly is the spokeswoman for Ford’s Warrior In Pink program, that’s why!

She is also working with the Salvation Army for their Season of Need program. What have YOU done lately that helped others? What have you done to “pay it forward”? Even sharing a smile with a stranger can make a world of a difference for many people, and best of all, it is free. As a matter of fact, here is a picture of Kelly showing off her famous smile:

There! Now, didn’t that make YOU feel better?

I hope that you all have a great day today! Give thanks for everything that you are grateful for and watch your rewards come back to you ten fold!

See you all back here tomorrow!

Until then! Peace!

Breaking Kelly News, gang!

As promised, if there is ever any breaking Kelly news, I am going to bring it here to you all! Thanks to Kelly Clarkson Roks (whose MySpace page can be seen here) we have found out that our gal Kelly is going to be the headline performer for the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Halftime Show! How exciting is that?!? I know that I am stoked about it! This means that we should all have the opportunity to be able to see Kelly perform on Thanksgiving Day! Woot!

Kelly Clarkson has been announced as “Headline Performer” for the “Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day Halftime Show!”

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has announced that two-time Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson will perform live during the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day halftime show! The November 22nd halftime concert will officially kick off the annual Salvation Army Red Kettle Christmas fundraiser, the nation’s largest holiday charitable fundraising drive. The nationally televised live event at Texas Stadium will be broadcast during halftime of the Cowboys match-up against the New York Jets.

Each year the Dallas Cowboys and The Salvation Army encourage Americans to help those less fortunate by donating to The Salvation Army Red Kettles throughout the holiday season. As part of the 2007 celebration, Clarkson will perform songs from her latest album, My December, including the top-ten Billboard Hot 100 single, “Never Again”, to help to raise money in the kettles for holiday toys, coats and many other Salvation Army social services. She will also serve as honorary chairperson of the campaign, which will run nationally from Friday, November 23rd through Christmas Eve, December 24th.

Although it is early in the year still for Thanksgiving, there are those who go hungry every day. As the slogan for Salvation Army states, “Need Knows No Season”. I couldn’t agree more. A fellow 451 Blogger, Beth Turnage, who writes for the Astrology Explored blog, has decided to create an idea for November about “Poverty and Power”. I think that this is an excellent idea, and am glad that Kelly is using her power to help promote the needs of those that are in poverty. I, too, have worked with the Salvation Army, and I know that it is a very reputable charity that helps to feed millions of families every day. There is no better time to help those that are in need than today, so take the time to do something special to help those that are less fortunate than you. The power of
paying it forward” is an awesome experience to see! Keep checking back here, too, for additional updates about Kelly and how she is helping out those that are less fortunate, thanks to the Salvation Army!

I hope that you all have a great day!

Until next time! Peace!

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I hope that your week has been going well! As I mentioned on Tuesday’s blog, this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Did you all know that our girl Kelly is working with Ford for the Warrior’s in Pink program? Didja didja? Well, she is! If you go to the Ford website, you can check out the video of Kelly supporting the Ford Warrior in Pink program! Here’s a cute picture of the Ford Warrior in Pink logo shirt from their Ford website page!

If you go to their website, you can see a great video of Kelly sporting the shirt, as well as a short clip of her talking! She ROCKS the shirt out, people! Also, for those of you with a MySpace account, you can swing by and add the Warrior in Pink page to your friends! Check out their MySpace page here!

Kelly is back in the United States after promoting her My December tour in Australia! She is only getting a short amount of time to recoup before she is out on the road touring! I hope that everyone has purchased a ticket to see our girl! The first concert date is set for October 10, in Verona, NY at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino. For those of you that are member of Kelly’s fan club, and are going to this show, make sure that you check out her website to see how you can have the opportunity to win meet and greet passes to see Kelly backstage! How cool would that be??

Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to check out the Ford website! There are some great downloadable ideas on there for their Warriors In Pink shirts!

Until next time, gang! Peace!

Happy Wednesday/Hump Day, everyone!

It seems as though Kelly has been all over the map in Australia, jet setting from here to there and performing “ Never Again ” on all of the local television stations as well as conducting some talk show sessions. How DOES she do it all? LOL

Kelly performing on “Sunrise” in Australia this past Monday

I don’t know about you all, but I can not wait until the next season of American Idol ! I am not sure if each season gets a little bit better than the season before, or perhaps it is the strange factor ( think: William Hung) that intrigues me, but I am GLUED to American Idol when it is on! I have even hooked others to the show, too! Of course, not one can top our gal, Kelly, so they can have away at trying to be “the” American Idol, but no one comes close to her! All I can say is that I thank God on a daily basis that Kelly was on that show and won! What would we do without her burning up the radio charts? LOL For those of you that are American Idol junkies like I am, make sure that you stop by my fellow blogger’s blog here on the 451 Press circuit! Reed Dunn does a great job keeping all of us informed on the latest American Idol information over on his American Idol blog!! Also, take note of the new link in the sidebar to the right for his blog!

I would also like to send a very special “thank you” to those of you who heard my calling for donations for the Down’s Syndrome Buddy Walk, as posted on this blog last week. My friend and her son’s team had a set goal of raising $7,500. Well, gang, they shot right past that, and raised $8,000! I am so happy and proud of Team Alex! Go Team Alex, Go!

Wishing you all a great day! Until next time!

Peace!
