ALOHA –

After spending loads of quality time scouring the internet for credible sources regarding the subject of the Illuminati (you won’t find any that don’t have an extremist view – so proceed with caution), and after purchasing Katy Perry’s most recent song “Dark Horse” on iTunes, I have come to the conclusion that Katy Perry is most definitely not a part of the Illuminati. I know, I know. There is an Eye of Horus in almost every frame of the video… she zaps a dude wearing an Allah necklace into dust… but that is a music video; a fictional representation of a piece of music. Besides, I bought the song and sang it while burning candles in a pentagram and yet I still haven’t received my induction invitation to the secret society. I mean… that is how it works, right?

While I haven’t personally checked in with Miss Perry and asked her one-on-one, I am fairly certain she is not the Antichrist. I am also fairly certain that Katy Perry is awesome. Check out some of the causes she’s contributed to over the years: Habitat for Humanity, the USO, Red Cross, and AIDS LIFE. 

And while you’re at it, check out her album Prism. It’s like $11 bucks on iTunes.

Ever heard of a little song called Bound 2? Or maybe of the notorious Kanye West? Well, I hear a lot of people mention his “uh-huh honey…” Kim Kardashian, and it’s not always in the best of ways. Some say that she and Kanye are a match made in heaven, since they both have such great egos. But do we ever stop to really examine what good is being done before passing judgment? Take a look at some of the causes Kim has supported with her time and money:

Dress for Success, Relief for the Phillipines, Help for Haiti, Feed LA, GLAD, Keep A Child Alive, Dream Foundation, and more here 

You can click on the hyperlinks above to learn more and make donations, too! All I know is, Miss Kardashian has been known to give 10% of all of her earnings to charity. Which is more percentage than a lot of stars or other socialites will be seen donating.

So sure, maybe riding a motorcycle naked through the latest Kanye video isn’t what you were dying to see. But before too much hate is dished out, just stop and consider all the good Miss K does by helping charities like the Elton John AIDS Foundation, or the Dream Foundation. Thanks for all the charity, Kim, and thank you for the attention you bring to these causes.

Mit Liebe,

Jaq

ALOHA –

So, I’ve heard a lot of rants and raves about Kanye West lately. It’s true, when the news of his daughter’s name was sent out far and wide, even I decried his tomfoolery. But despite how the fame and fortune may have twisted his ego (pardon me, His ego), it’s still been charities and regular folks who have benefitted from the rap and pop star’s contributions.

In addition to contributing to a CD whose proceeds benefited victims of Hurricane Katrina, some of the charities he’s donated to include Doctors Without Borders, Human Rights Watch, an international non-governmental organization that conducts research and advocacy on #humanrights, Food Bank for New York City, and Habitat for Humanity. No matter which direction on the compass Kanye’s thinking about, at least his wallet is open in a lot of directions, especially helping people in need – whether they’re fans or haters.

Tschau!
