Secrets of My Hollywood Life On Location

Jen Calonita

Hollywood Secret Number One: When it comes to celebrity dating, many stars talk about the benefits of dating a fellow actor. Between you and me, that"celeb-only" dating speech is week-old baloney. The truth is, it's tough to date a fellow actor. There's too much competition over who's the bigger star and too much stress over spending the next six months apart when you ship off to shoot a movie in Bangladesh and he is on location in the West Indies.

The real reason why actors so often date other actors? We've got nobody else to date! Stars mostly spend time with other stars (and reality show hanger ons). A famous actress is unlikely to find her next relationship while pumping gas at the local MObil. That is, unless... you spend a few months pretending to be someone you're not. That's how I met a real guy like Austin. Now I just hope he can handle living under a microscope.

I liked this book alot. I was first hesitant to buy the first of the series, because i am not a huge fan of journal books, but then again i should have open it up and took a peek. It's not a serious book. No death, no depression, no drugs.... ( I shall call that the DDD's). But i really like the main character, Kaitlen's, boyfriend, Austin, because he seems down to earth, and like someone who would never truly exist in real life. I think that's what make it interesting, her relationship. I am more interested in that then her fued with her costar, or her brother being a wannabe star. It keeps me entertained.

I would recommend this book if you want something easy to read, and a light romance. I am glad i own the book, but if borrow it from the library, it's all good. As long as you read it. You don't have to rush out and buy it, but if you happened to be looking at the bookstore and find nothing really interesting (or your mom won't let you buy a hard cover being it's not worth the two hours I spend reading it.) pick up this book and go ahead and read it.

Boys R Us

Boys R Us

Lisi Harrison

Massie Block: After disbanding the Pretty Committee, Massie takes charge like Visa, forming OCD's hawtest clique yet: Massie and Crew. Even though money can't buy love, it can buy new friends... or at least model-actresses who will act like your besties until you get real ones. Lights, camera, MACtion!

Alicia Rivera: Hearts her new role as alpha of the SOul-M8s, BOCD's first ever boy - girl clique. But when the boys head back to the newly renovated Briarwood Academy, with the remaining Soul-M8s become 4Squares?

Dylan Marvil: Is happy times ten to finally have a crush who's crushing back, especially since they luh-v the same things: marshmallows, lip-kissing, and chugging Red Bull. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrp!

Kristen Gregory: Scored three goals on the soccer field last week- and Massie's crush... which earned her an ejection from her ex - BFF's hear. Can Massie forgive and forget, or is Kristen out of the game forever?

Claire Lyons: Has declared herself neutral in the battle of the cliques/ But dividing her time among Massie, the Soul-M8s, anc Cam has left her stretched thinner than extra-small Spanx. Can she get her friends to reunite, or will she be forced to pick a side once and for all?

The Clique... the only thing harder than getting in, is staying in.

First of all the last line, the slogan, is very cliche'. Just saying. Okay.... I was really bored with this book. In the beginning it was alright, with it going fast pace and thing getting revealed, but afterwards it just went down hill from there. The story was only mildly interesting, and i think it's one of Lisi Harrison weakest performances. I had to debate whether it was worth, actually finishing it halfway through, but i did. I did think the PC (pretty committee) and MAC (massie and crew) was a pretty cool thing, because the cliques hated each other, and so do the computers... but besides that most of the character are really shallow. I mean who hires friends?!?

This book i probably wouldn't recommend for some people, but some, like I, have started reading the series, and feel that they should remain faithful. But it you haven't read the series, or don't feel that commitment, i would say don't read this one. But i would recommend this series, to younger kids, in the older elementary grades, or early middle school.
