hey. me, my parents, my older brother, my cousins, aunts, and uncles might go to los angeles in august. MAYBE. i've been to los angeles a bunch of times but it was usually just disneyland. (we dont live THAT far away) so anyways if we DO go, my cousin whos my age and i are going go to all of the celeb hot spots like where celebrities are normally seen shopping and stuff. i know i shouldnt expect to see a celebrity, but if i do, would it be rude to approach them? and if i do approach them, would it be rude to ask for a pic? and i know its rude to approach them when theyre eating, but if im just passing by their table at a restaurant, would it be rude to just say "hello" and thats it? thnx!




Hey girl,

    If celebs are spending time with their families and you look like you would be disturbing them, try taking a picture OF them instead of WITH them, without approaching them.  If they're out shopping or walking around you can ask for a pic, but don't be offended if they say no.  Also, just saying hi is OK to, but make it a quick hello and don't try to have a conversation with them.  Remember, they are people too and they don't like being disturbed as much as we do. Good luck! x0x0

Hey! So in a week or so, my family is going on a cruise around the Caribbean. Fun right? Well anyways, it is going to be super fun except i have to share a room with my brother. (My parents ordered us two rooms) anyways my brother is soooo annoying and well my parents room isnt next to ours so its not like i can just knock on the door and tell him. what if hes all like farting and burping??? trust me he'll do that just to bug me and be a pig. its sooo annoying and im not kidding he will just go out of the way to torture me. i know we wont be spending much time in the room (the cruise has soooo much to do - its one of the biggest ships in the world!!) but still........... HELP ME MOD I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! Thnx.




Hey girl,

     Tell your parents all your concerns about your brother before the cruise so that they have time to talk to him and make sure he behaves himself.  And you're absolutely right, there will be so much to do on the cruise that you'll barely even see your brother! x0x0

Hey MOD, I'm gonna hang out with my friend later today for just a few hours. I'm pretty sure we'll figure out something to do, but if not what should we do?




Hey girl,

   Since it's finally summer, why not do something outside? Try riding a bike, going for a swim, or taking a walk. You could also see if your friend has any good ideas or if there's something that interests her. Good luck! x0x0
