Good-bye Winter, Hello Spring! =] (hopefully)

The hottest songs and shows can warm you up while you wait for spring to finally arrive.  Below are a few of my choices for what s hot in TV and music right now. 
With April right around the corner, it's time to start considering what songs you are going to let flow through your open windows into the warm air.  I have come up with a few suggestions for who I think will rule the spring and maybe even the summer. 

Katy Perry, ET, I think is going to be one of the hottest songs to be played on the radio.  Anything that has come off Katy's new album has been hot, so why should this song be any different?

Britney Spears, Till the World Ends, is a fun club song to get you dancing while you cruise the road with your sunglasses on.

I also think when Lady Gaga's new album hits stores in May, Katy and Britney will have some competition.  So far though, I think these ladies are going to have a hot summer.

On the small screen, I think Pretty Little Liars is the hottest, freshest new show.  Not only is the storyline scandalous, the couples on the show are adorable.  I can't decide between English teacher Mr. Fitz and Aria or Hanna and Caleb.  Check PLL out and see who you are rooting for. 

I have also been completely obsessed with The Vampire Diaries.  Even if you don't like Twilight, you should tune in to see how one cast could have so many hot guys.  There is also the classic love triangle between brothers Stefan and Damon with good girl Elena.  I'm team Delena for a few reasons.  I think Elena tames Damon while Damon lets Elena act out.  I also love how the two of them interact.  I also can't help myself but to adore a couple who may be together in real life. <3

Ig teen shows are not your thing, Bones is an awesome change to crime scene dramas.  The chemistry between Booth and Bones and incredible and you will be addicted instantly not only to this couple, but to the other couples on the show as well.

I have given you plenty of options to warm up as spring heads towards us.  Tell me what you think you are most likely to watch!

Cheerleading can Entertain You!

Anyone who knows me personally knows I am OBSESSED with cheerleading.  Not the sideline kind where you do some cheers on a Friday night (even though I did LOVE doing this in high school), I am talking about allstar cheelrading.  Two minutes and thirty seconds of intense stunts, tumbling, dancing and attitude.  Now what does all of this have to do with entertainment you ask?  Well, I was on looking around my fave cheer message board today, fierceboard.com, when I came across information that the channel Lifetime, usually known for sappy movies, will have a new reality show premiere April 5 featuring an allstar team I know pretty well the Central Jersey Allstars (CJA).  The show will be called Jersey Cheer and comes a few years after Lifetime followed Dunbar High School cheerleaders from Alabama in a show called Cheerleader Nation (a personal favorite of mine), that only lasted one season.  The show followed the varsity cheerleading squad as the competed for another national championship.  Here's a clip from episode 1 of Cheerleader Nation.


I'm hoping Jersey Cheer lasts longer than Cheerleader Nation, but the news got me thinking of another cheerleading show I watch on the CW called Hellcats which is based on college cheerleading.  In case you have not seen the show, it's about more than just cheerleading, with a love triangle, friendships, and the obstacles of trying to get respect for their sport, (it is a sport, it's shown on ESPN).  Anyways, here's a clip of my favorite couple Dan and Marti who are best friends, secretly crushing on each other.

Martie is played by Aly Michalka, from the the duo Aly and AJ (her sister), who used to be shown on the Disney channel all of the time.  Another Disney darling stars in the series, Ashley Tisdale from High School Musical plays sweet, southern Savannah, Hellcats team captain.  This show is addicting, even if you are not particularly a fan of cheerleading, the story lines are awesome.  If you are a cheerleader or are a fan, some of the story lines including team dynamics and hard work are relateable. 

Back to Jersey Cheer though, not much information has been released but what is known is that the cameras will follow CJA throughout their competitive season.  Here's to hoping this show is a success, lasts longer than one season, and shows people cheerleading is athletic and very entertaining.  Just so you can have a little taste of CJA, here is their small senior level 5 team.  Enjoy!
