Ford and his Plumber's Crack

For a while now there have been allegations about Major Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine, yet he strongly denied that statement. There were rumors of a video of him smoking the drug, and it was being auctioned off to the highest bidder, yet once the deadline came for the video to be released it mysteriously disappeared! Seriously? Who else thinks that Ford was behind the disappearance of the video? I mean, he has tons of connections, so it is plausible that he would stoop this low to protect his status. But that's just my opinion.

Time for the facts! Yesterday, November 5th 2013, Rob Ford admitted to smoking crack cocaine. He said, "Yes I have smoked crack cocaine. But no, do I? Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately a year ago..." He also goes on further to say that he has been times where  he has been in a drunken stupor, and that he has made mistakes in the past. He acknowledged that he has problems, which is good, yet he still has made these mistakes when he has been in an authoritative position. Take a look at this video to see what he has to say: http://www.ctvnews.ca/videoclipId=1037731&playlistId=1.1528827&binId=1.810401&playlistPageNum=1

This is the Mayor of Toronto here! Yeah, there's drugs in Toronto but I think it is inappropriate for him to be taking part in these actions! For someone that has so much power, I don't think that it's right for him to do these drugs and drink excessively at points. This is someone who is in charge of Toronto, he makes decisions for the city. If he can't make sound decisions in his personal life, how can the people of Toronto trust him to make good decisions for their city?

Now, not all is bad about Rob Ford; he has reduced the taxes for the citizens.

Of course the past is the past, but when the past he is talking about is only a year ago - when he was in power - is that forgivable? From Fame to Shame, Rob Ford was the respected mayor of Toronto, helping out the community, and now he has verified that he has smoked crack cocaine. Should Ford step down from being mayor because of this, or should he remain mayor, letting his personal affairs distract him preventing the city from succeeding? That's your decision!

Mary-Kate Olsen - Rehab for a Twin

These fraternal twins might look alike, but they are complete opposites. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen grew up together but are very different. These cute little girls were the stars of Full House and many other movies and shows, but they got their names known from starring on Full House. Since they've grown up they have become mega-stars with multiple talents. They both share two fashion lines: "Mary-Kate and Ashley" and "The Row" and they are extremely rich. These sisters were famous before they could even walk!

Is this too good to be true? Unfortunately, yes. Mary-Kate has had her fair share of problems. In 2004, Mary-Kate was admitted into a rehabilitation facility to help her with her anorexia. She became increasingly gaunt and frail-looking, and finally family and friends had to take action. Mary-Kate has admitted to the public that she was being treated for an eating disorder, but there were rumours about drug abuses, yet this is not proven.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are naturally skinny, which makes me question why MK had an eating disorder. Of course, people all have their problems and being in Hollywood, there is more emphasis on body. I guess that is why so many famous people have eating disorders and other illnesses.

Regardless, the Olsen twins have made a huge name for themselves, and they are recognized everywhere they are. They are extremely successful! In fact, they are already worth at least $40 million! They have starred in 14 movies, 4 television shows, 11 videos of The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, and 10 videos of You're invited to Mary-Kate and Ashley's.... They have been in the public's eye for their whole life, so no matter what mistake they make, people will be watching.

It is such a shame that these kinds of disorders happen to people, no matter what their ethnicity, gender, sexual preferences, anything - I do not wish these kinds of diseases onto anyone.

From Fame to Shame, and back to fame, Mary-Kate Olsen has been a child prodigy and succeeded with her career until her eating disorder took over and she went to rehab. Good news - Mary-Kate is healthier now!
