HelllooooO!
Just wanted to check in and write to you a little bit… I hope everyone is having a great summer and makig the most of it! My Lifetime movie "True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet" comes on tomarrow (Saturday) at 9 pm EST so be sure to check it out! Right now I'm in Atlanta, Georgia right now putting the finishing touches on my album. I am so happy with how its turning out, and so thrilled to have been able to work with the producers and collaborators that I have. Ive never felt more enthusiastic about a project, and I feel like this speaks to where I am in my life as well as lyrically and musically. Its been such an enjoyable process to assemble this record, and I am anxious for you to hear it and see what you think. 
But i've got to be a little vulnerable for a minute…. im a bit frustrated! I'm 17 years old, and I feel that people have tried to dismiss me in the industry or have the sense of "Why hasnt she been doing anything? She must be dead". This is pretty sucky! When people havent heard music from you in quite some time, its understandable that they may want to dismiss you as being "done", and its hard because folks dont get to see what goes on behind the scenes for months, sometimes years to put things together, etc. Im about to be a senior in high school, im dedicated to my education as well as my career so it gets difficult to juggle sometimes, but i feel that anything thats worth it takes work. Bottom line, just because Im not in the spotlight does not mean that ive retired (lol). Im so young, and music is my everything. I view my career as a marathon, not a sprint. And i try to do things based on the long term plan, not for financially motivated reasons. Have I made mistakes? Absolutely. Will I make more? Sure! But will I learn along the way, channel it into my music, chalk it up to experience, and come out stronger from it? You betta believe it 
!
I just want to thank you for sticking by me, waiting it out with me, and growing up with me. Its amazing that I put my first single out when I was 13 and now im just finishing up my third album and Im not even 18 yet! Ive seen so much in a short span of time, and learned to much. Its a blessing, and I promise to not forget it. I vow to put my all into everything that I do and to always represent what I believe in to the fullest. I cant wait for you to read/hear the lyrics to the title track "All I Want is Everything" because it really represents how I feel at this point in my life. I wrote it out of hope, excitement, frustration, and based on my dreams. I think everyone will be able to relate to the feeling. Im anxious for you to see and hear what Ive been working on.
Stay up and know that Impossible = 0.
x's and o's

Scrooge McHarvey Weinstien?
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo
Why so charity cheapy weepy, Mr. Project Runway?
A new report asserts that Harvey Weinstein may be the least charitable mogul in New York.
Documents show that after legal and accounting expenses factored in, he only gave $64,000 to charities last year.
$64K is a lot of money to us regular folks, but keep in mind that the Weinsteins made $80 million in 1993 when Miramax was sold to Disney and Harvey has a load of pricey property. He's also reportedly 'diversified' into cable channels, magazines, websites, bars, and fashion companies.
Maybe he donated anonymously?
We'll see! Harvey might give more generously in the coming year!
Remember, he's making tons of money off of Project Runway's move to Lifetime — early reports said his company will be getting $1 million per episode at the new network!

When You've Already Done It All…
Filed under: Old People
Woody Allen is keeping a promise he made over three years ago.
The 72 year-old director is set to produce an opera. Yes, an opera.
Why not???
Allen will be collaborating with The Exorcist director William Friedkin.
Apparently, Friedkin is a well-known opera lover who has directed productions in Tel Aviv, Turin, Florence, and Los Angeles.
As for Allen he says, "I made this promise to do it three years ago and I thought I'd be dead in three years and it's never gonna happen so I said, 'OK.' Then, I didn't die and the time came and so I started work on this opera on Tuesday."
At least he was honest about making the promise thinking he'd be dead by now.
Allen, Friedkin, and one more director are working on Gianni Schicchi, the third part of Giacomo Puccini's Il Trittico.
However, Allen doesn't seem too optimistic about this project.
He says, "I'll give it my best shot … but I really don't know what to expect. The opera is unlike the movies; they boo. I've been disliked but from a distance, but this is different."
Let's hope it doesn't suck too hard.

Unnecessary Killing
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Legal Matters
It's like a horrible dream came to life for the mayor of a small Maryland town and his family.
Last week, Cheye Calvo, mayor of Berwyn Heights, and his family found themselves unknowingly tangled in a marijuana smuggling ring — their home was stormed by plain clothed Prince George's County police who proceeded to shoot the family's beloved Labradors, Payton and Chase, dead.
No evidence of illegal activity was found at the mayor's home by police.
The mayor said the warrant that police say justifies their actions did not bear his name, did not authorize no-knock entry and figures it might have been politically motivated. He said he did not see the warrant until three days after the raid.
This week, Prince George's police arrested two men for orchestrating a plot to deliver marijuana to the addresses of unsuspecting recipients — among them, Calvo's wife, Trinity Tomsic.
Police Chief Melvin C. High nor Sheriff Michael A. Jackson have apologized to the mayor, his wife or her mother, Georgia Porter, for the raid that traumatized the family and killed their black Labrador retrievers.
WTF?!
The FBI is now investigating what looks to us like a total eff up by county officers.
So sad!!
Who can we trust these days?

He Just Did It To Be Close To Chace

Designer Michael Kors really wants to act….with hot young boys!
Kors is set to guest star in a new episode of Gossip Girl.
The episode will deal with New York's Fashion Week, obvs.
Kors has already shot scenes this week at NY's Capitale on the Bowery, where they also filmed a fashion show.
And of the Gossip Girl series, Kors says, "I love the clothes, everyone is good-looking, the plot line is a riot. I love the show. They called and said, 'You are very Gossip Girl,' I thought, 'Finally, I am a teenager.' "
Kors added, "Probably to the consternation of certain people on the Upper East Side, they really get it. It’s a pretty clear picture of how a lot of these kids really are."
That doesn't say much about the Upper East Side does it?

Listen To This: Your Weekend Jam!
Filed under: Listen To This
This is just what the weekend ordered!
As you're getting dressed for your hot date tonight, put on this song and you'll feel all sexy and Carrie Bradshaw-ish.
The tune is Can't Stop by an artist named Dondria Nicole. And we love the whole vibe!
The song is neo-soul but bouncy and fun, not tortured and dark like Winehouse.
Can't Stop is the perfect companion to Solange's I Decided.
Check out the song by newcomer Dondria below!

Mimitastic!
Filed under: Mariah Carey > Nick Cannon
As a young boy, did Nick Cannon ever imagine that his life would be as fabulous as it currently is?
Sources say Mariah Carey plans to spend some quality time with her new hubby this month and has plopped down $125,000 to rent an 18,000 square foot, 10 bedroom 'farm house' on 8 acres in East Hampton for a week.
$125k - for the week!!!!!!!!
You can buy a nice condo for that amount of money!
Quick, Nick! Get her preggers and no matter what happens, you might be entitled to the divalicious life for at least 18 years!
It sounds a little big just for the two of them, but we're assuming Mimz needs the room to house all the 'help' that she needs to be the one and only Mimi!
Insiders are also buzzing that Def Jam's L.A. Reid will be 'hosting' a party for Nick and his sugar momma Moo at the 'farm house'.
You know that's going to be some party!
