Disney diversifies
After a century of winning over the hearts of children, Disney makes another effort to strengthen the bond with America’s youth while generating a more worldly aspect.
Set to release in 2009, the company started production on a new animated cartoon called “The Frog Princess,” which features the very first Black princess to grace Disney’s screens.
The movie is also going back to Disney’s old school roots with hand-drawn animation.
The directors of “The Little Mermaid” will take control of the project.
The name of the new character is Mandy, and like the other Disney princesses, she will be featured as a live character in the Disney parks.

Australia’s next top wannabe
VH1 played up one of America’s favorite shows, “America’s Next Top Model,” with a new spin-off of its own. It heading down south for a whole new breed of models - Aussie style.
“Australia’s Next Top Model” debuted a couple weeks ago and I must say the show is already a complete annoyance and failure.
I hate to be vain, but Americans truly are more beautiful and smart.
Each contestant is crazy and overdramatic, while the actual competition lacks the challenge and the reality of the modeling world. Instead, the girls take part in challenges where they have to whore themselves out to partygoers to make sure they get noticed by photographers.
It doesn’t stop there either. If you once thought you loved the Aussie accent, much like I did, think again. After hearing the endless catfights and pity complaints, I want to scream at anyone who says “Good day mate.”
Take my advice: watch something more worthwhile, like “The Real World.”

Weather brings about change
Spring is finally making its way to Boise and if you haven’t noticed, that means a lot more sun and warmer weather.
Along with the more comfortable climate comes the perfect opportunity to embark on those activities you’ve been waiting to do after winter, such as hitting up one of the parks for some mimosas and Frisbee or taking a relaxing stroll or bike ride down the green belt.
Also, who could beat the endorphins one receives after basking in the sunlight for a few hours.
The weather may not be nice everyday, so be sure to enjoy the time outside while you can. Make an effort. If you have to do some studying – take it outdoors.

Time to build the hot bod
Spring break is just a couple weeks away and after that comes summer break, which means it’s time to hit the gym.
While some people dread working up a sweat, if you want to look hot this season and lose that beer gut or extra caboose you need to start shredding the pounds with some cardio and weight lifting.
With two weeks before people head off to their spring break destination, that leaves a limited amount of time to shrink down. But with discipline and hard work, you can look healthier and sexier in that time span.
Here’s to looking awesome this season and one amazing vacation, even though you’ll have to work your butt off - literally.
