Shocking Reality TV Statistics

 



 

When you think of Reality TV, you think of the television genre that many people are guilty of watching at times. But, you would be a little surprised as to how much of an impact reality TV has on the state of California.

 

·         The number of shooting days for reality TV in Los Angeles rose 53% last year, making up about 40% of all on-location production.

·         Of the 240,000 entertainment jobs in Los Angeles, 30,000 are tied to Reality television.

·         Reality television episodes have increased to 57% of all television shows that can be found on your TV screens.

·         In 2000 there was nearly 4 reality television shows, by 2010 there were more than 320 reality shows.

 

To say that Reality television has taken over more than we could imagine would be an understatement. It seems as if it is the top form of getting entertained by television these days.

10 Year Plan

In the next ten years there is a lot that I would like to accomplish. Of course going to college and getting a great job is at the top of the list. My plan is to go to school and help develop my writing skills to showcase. Something that would interest me is something that I have been doing on and off through high school, acting. It really is something that has been a fun experience for me and something I would love to do more of in the next ten years. Getting and education and continuing to do things I love is pretty much my ten year plan and something that will keep me steady.

Angelina Jolie

 

Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4, 1975. Jolie was born and raised in Los Angeles, California as the daughter of actors Jon Voight and Maximilian Schell. Angelina enrolled in Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute after her family moved to New York when she was just six years old. She attended Beverly Hills High School. While she was in her teen years Angelina suffered depression due to feeling isolated from some of her peers at school. She has one brother an actor named James Haven; she is the niece of singer Chip Taylor and goddaughter of actors Jacqueline Bisset and Maximilian Schell. On her father's side, Jolie is of German and Slovak descent, on her mother's side, she is of primarily French Canadian, Dutch, and German ancestry.

Jolie's first movie role was when she was just seven years old in a movie called Lookin’ to Get Out in 1982. In 1999 Jolie starred in her first breakout feature film, ''Girl, Interrupted''. The film garnered universal acclaim from critics and movie fans. Angelina is best known for being one of the highest paid and best female actresses in the acting business today. But, Jolie is also best known for her widely announced relationship with actor Brad Pitt. One of the main reasons why the pair's relationship has been so publicly known is because when the two met on the set of their movie ''Mr. & Ms. Smith'' Brad was married to another actress Jennifer Aniston. Brad and Jennifer divorced not long after making the public question whether Brad and Angelina were having an affair on the set of their movie. Angelina and Brad have been together since and have six children three of which were adopted and three who were their biological children.

 Angelina Jolie won her first and only Academy Award in 2000 for ''Girl, Interrupted''. Angelina has received three Golden Globe awards out of seven nominations. Jolie has won two Screen Actors Guild Awards out of four nominations. Amongst these awards she has also ranked at the top of several year end magazine awards including People, Time, Maxim, and Forbes. She has also been rewarded from numerous organizations due to her humanitarian work.

Jolie has several projects lined up for the future including starring as Maleficent from the ''Sleeping Beauty'' series in a live action version of the film. She is also currently directing a film on War World II with film makers The Coen Brothers named ''Unbroken''.Jolie has also been named the Ambassador of Unicef's organization.

 My opinion on Angelina Jolie's career is that she is a highly accomplished actress who's had many blockbuster starring films. Better than all of that she has done tons of humanitarian work showing what type of person she is personally. Of course the fact that she is a mother of six, which shows how much she loves being a mother. Angelina has been in the news and media for various reasons some good and some bad, but my presumption of her is that she is a hard working woman who shows much perseverance.

New Years Resolution

 

My only New Years Resolution was just to be a lot more organized with everything. Being in school and trying to handle other things have become really stressful. You forget something here and something there, and it just becomes too much. From now on I will have things more planned out and organized. So far I have actually kept up with my resolution for me it’s nothing too difficult so I will try my best. So tell me what your amazing resolutions are below in the comments.

My Favorite Meal

 

 

My favorite meal I ever had was filled with a flavor bash. It was actually a really good meal with how my maid mother cooked it. The best portion was cooked down to a very crisp and tender way where you could also taste all the extra flavors she added. There was also a side that is pretty dirty, which added a lot of needed flavor. When I tasted the second side they tasted very nice and comfortable like they should. The smell of the meal was just full of different amazing smells; you could smell the tenderness of the main course, the sweetness in the second, and the great taste of the third. I honestly don’t have a particular drink for this meal, so it’s to each their own. Nonetheless, this meal has always put me in a good mood. It has always tasted so good no matter what, and I will probably always love it.

3 Wishes

 

 

If I could have three wishes, they would be to be successful, live a healthy life, and last but not least have a lifetime supply of strawberry shortcakes.

It’s pretty obvious my wish that would be placed third would be the endless supply of shortcakes. I mean you can only wish to be able to eat at least one strawberry shortcake a day. They’re just so delicious, from the cream and strawberry in the middle to the little swirl. God bless the remarkable human being who invented it. Now that I’m done being an obsessed fan over strawberry shortcakes we shall move on.

Second place would respectfully go to being successful. This one doesn’t bother me the slightest, no matter what career path I drive past, I will always succeed. But we can always wish, right?

This leads me to my numerous Uno biggest wish, a healthy life. This one should arguably be on just about everyone’s list. If you don’t want to have a healthy life then something is partially wrong with you. Who doesn’t want to have a long healthy life like oh, I don’t know…… Betty White? Nonetheless being in great health is the most important wish I could possibly make because I love life and expect to see a lot of it.

Now that you all know what my three wishes would be if I rubbed a genie lamp, tell me what your three wishes would be in the comments.

Two Cents

Every week I want to let readers put their two cents on stories, remedies, or anything out of the ordinary. So I can see what you feel about certain situations and how you handle them.

 

This week I decided to bring up what else other than myths. This past week I saw something online that talked about the infamous ‘’3 days of darkness’’. There is the read below describing the entire situation. After reading the picture below I want to know how you all feel. Do you think it’s real or just some more fabrication some crazy person keeps trying to put in our heads? Sound off in the comments.
