Jana Kramer: One Tree Hill starlet turned country star

Posted by Sarah Colleen, feature, music 4:06 PM

Jana Kramer is best known for her role of Alex Dupre, the selfish boyfriend stealing model/actress of One Tree Hill. When she came into the show in late 2009 most fans were less than thrilled to have her character stirring up trouble in the small town of Tree Hill. Tree Hill has had its share of villians, Dan Scott, Nikki, psycho Derek, and Nannie Carrie just to name a few. But Jana's storyline really took us for a spin. One second shes trying to jump in bed with Brooke's boyfriend the next she is crying and remoresful. We've seen her at her worst but we've also seen the good side of her, and I think we saw the best side of her when she debued her new single 'Wont Give Up' during an April episode of the show.

I had read online that Jana would be releasing a single and that it would be featured in the show beforehand, but when it comes to actress's turned singers I'm very skeptical. A lot of the time you have an actress who has the money or fame to land herself a single or a record but the quality usually isn't the greatest (Paris Hilton, Kim K, Heidi Montag? Need I go on?) So when Jana picked up the guitar and started the song I was very surprised by what I heard. Now normally when actress's sing they are auto-tuned to the point of not even being able to tell its them singing. The songs are usually upbeat, something you may hear at a club. Jana's single could not be any more different. 'Won't Give Up' is a slow country ballad with great vocals. Yes, you read that correctly, a country ballad. That's one I don't think Ive seen any actress's attempt before. But she pulled it off wonderfully. And hey, I can actually recognize her voice!

With that all being said it is definetly worth a listen (or ten or fifty). So even all you Alex hating One Tree Hill fans should push your hard feelings towards her character aside and give it a chance because I hope like myself you will be pleasently surprised and have a song that you will be playing just as much as you play your One Tree Hill DVD's!

Steve Carell Office Update

Posted by Sarah Dominique, feature, TV 3:39 PM

The Office’s lead funnyman Steve Carell has officially said goodbye to his eccentric character Michael Scott, according to USA Today. Carell’s departure was a long time coming, apparently having announced his decision to leave the show last June.

“I want to fulfill my contract. I think it’s a good time to move on,” Carell told Entertainment Weekly.

Carell’s final episode airs April 28th, Huffington Post reports, leaving four episodes until the season finale which is set to air May 19th. His departure coincides nicely with Will Ferrell‘s drop in. Ferell’s four episode guest appearance as branch manager begins just as Michael Scott bids the Scranton Branch farewell, after nearly seven seasons.

How will The Office cast get along without Carell? More importantly, how will Dwight Schrute survive without Michael Scott’s barely-there management?

Actor Rainn Wilson, who plays Schrute on the long-running comedy, had this to say on Twitter about Carell’s leave.

" @rainnwilson Steve Carell's last day on 'The Office.' And the angels of comedy wept... #saddestdayever "

Where does this leave fans of the Emmy award winning show? I, for one, as a loyal fan of The Office, don’t think it will be the same watching new episodes and not hearing Michael Scott rant inaccurately about a topic, or spew inappropriate remarks around the professional setting without a second thought. Still, I’m pretty excited to see what Will Ferrell will do with his role as branch manager on The Office. And if he sings a song, as he is famous for doing in his big screen productions, I might just die. It may seem a little outlandish to have him singing as a regional manager, but I think these writers can fit it in. Fingers crossed!

Besides director Paul Feig told MTV News a little of what we can expect for the upcoming episode: “It's emotional, but it's funny. It's just a really nice mix and it sends Michael off in a good way. I'm thrilled with it,” adding “I think fans of the show will be really happy with it.”

What do you think: Will the show lose loyal Michael Scott viewers now that Carrell has resigned the role, or will it continue to roll with the punches and ignore the negative criticism of bloggers.

I Beliebe, I Beliebe

I’m sitting here listening to the new Rascal Flatts and Justin Bieber mash up That Should Be Me and I’m realizing all over again why the kid is so beloved. He’s amazing. Not only is he adorable, but he’s incredibly talented and he’s the kind of boy a girl can take home to mom. He’s sweet and sensitive and let’s face it, he’s got amazing hair (even with his new haircut!). JB managed to win over Usher in no time, with the snap of his fingers, if only we all had that power! In his bio on his website, he talks about growing up and living in poverty and being stronger because of it all in the end. When I listen to him speak and watch his interviews, it feels like I’m watching a 20 year old rather than a 17 year old. He’s incredibly mature and truly has a good head on his shoulders.

As all of us that have been struck with Bieber fever know, he recently cut his hair and sold it online. According to cbsnews.com JB’s hair sold for $40,668. Not only did the winning bidder win his gorgeous golden locks but they also get to meet him the next time he appears on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Recently there has been speculation that JB’s alleged girlfriend Selena Gomez was attacked by a crazed JB fan. After the hateful comments and death threats Selena received on her twitter, it didn’t take much for us to believe that she was indeed attacked. Neither party have confirmed this rumor, however reps for Gomez claim said rumors are not true. Gomez recently released her new single Who Says with lyrics including, “I’m no beauty queen, I’m just beautiful me” and “Who says you’re not perfect, who says you’re not worth it, who says you’re the only one that’s hurting? Trust me, that’s the price of beauty. Who says you’re not pretty, who says you’re not beautiful?” She told E! Online’s Ken Baker “They [girls her age] tend to try to dress and try to be what they feel other people want them to be…and eventually at the end of the day if you strip it all down, are you really proud of yourself? Are you really comfortable in your own skin? There’s moments everyday where I feel insecure or not good enough…” She also told Ryan Seacrest that Who Says is her song “to the haters”.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Justena is the latest Hollywood “it” couple and true Justin Bieber fans are rooting for them, because let’s face it, they’re adorable. It’s impossible not to love them.

Bieber fever is going around, and if you haven’t caught it yet, be prepared because it’s headed your way! And if you think you’ll never catch it, just remember, Never Say Never! ;)
