When I was a teenager, I was fat. I was shy. I wore glasses. I had a big eyebrow and hair all over my body. They were years of torture.
She [then nine-year-old daughter Emily] grew up with 'The Rhythm is Gonna Get You,' Well . . . It got her!
My daughter is almost a young lady. She's going to be 10 years old in December and I want to be there day-in and day-out.
I've bought more music for my Ipod in one year than I bought in the last ten years of my life.

They are smaller shelters in great need of many things. We are taking things that they specifically requested that they need at this moment.
We want it to be clarified to us why this family, who has been guarding this boy, is being compelled to betray his trust and hand him over on a silver platter.
I'm a writer and this is what I love to do. There's no reason that just because you're a celebrity you can't write,
