The Bears have talent and the Chicago fans need to support them all the way!
Imagine you are a secretary in an office. In this particular office setting, you have no heat in the winter or air conditioning in the summer. Rain and snow fall on your head and you aren’t allowed to wear a coat when its cold 100% of the time. A large group of people continuously scream at you while random people hit you over the head, shoulder, stomach and anywhere else, they knock you out of your chair and you are expected to do your job perfectly under these circumstances. While working through the pain and effects of concussions, you complete your job to the best of your ability and how are you rewarded? Your reward are insults and boos!
How would you feel?
The Chicago Bears have had circumstances similar to these and they need everyone’s support! Fans love their favorite celebrities no matter what. If your favorite singer or movie star had to endure these conditions and try to perform for you… how would you treat them? Cheerleaders do their cheers wholeheartedly for their teams win or lose. The Chicago Bears need their cheerfans behind them as they fight to make the Windy City proud.
Bears safety Chris Conte tweeted it best: “We have two must win games left. We need all the support we can get. if u aren’t with us then you are against us. Real bear fans#beardown”
Go Bears!

How can you be apart of a TV studio audience and get paid for it? Check out my account of a day of talk show fun!
I had the privilege of being apart of a studio audience for a talk show this fall. I signed up thru a legitimate extras casting company. They chose audience members based on ethnicity and age. I worked a total of 2 shows in one day. After being chosen via email, I arrived at the TV show’s studio location only to stand in line for about an hour and a half. Then, we were taken to the second level via elevator and waited another hour or so in line and in our designated seats for the show to start. There was a restroom on the second level, but you had to go before you entered the show’s filming room or you were smacked with the rules of the crew that didn’t allow bathroom breaks during filming. (The show would be taped during a 3 to 4 hour period.) So, if you counted the hours you waited beforehand and filming time…. you would be in big trouble and have an accident in your seat! Thank Goodness I made sure I used the restroom before each show.
How do you earn the low day wages awaiting you?
This particular show stressed the need for everyone to clap on cue, show exaggerated emotions when they cued you to do so, and dance. We had to practice all of the above multiple times! If you are a great actress and full of energy being a paid studio member is for you.
The rest is history. We followed directions for the filming of all segments during a 3 to 4 hour period and returned to the same studio an hour and a half later to do it all over again! Payment was distributed the same day at the end of the second show.
If you think this is the kind of gig you are looking for….. keep your eyes on legitimate extras casting companies and network your way into studio audience heaven.

Chicago Bears’ Kicker Robbie Gould has been engaged to his loving fiance since the Spring of 2012, and now he is adding a new title to his resume. Cheerleader!
The husband to be tweeted the following message on December 11th:
“Up and at em. Ready to get after this rehab. Ready to assume my new role as a honey bear…. Thanks to all my family, friends, fans, and colleagues for all your support. Best sports fans in the NFL. #BearDown”
Why is he referencing the Bears’ cheerleaders of the 1980s?
Robbie is on injured reserve because of a left calf injury. So, he is stuck on the sidelines for the time being. What better way to occupy your time than cheer for your team!
BTSCelebs wishes Robbie a speedy recovery!

Psy
Psy has been a household name in South Korea for quite some time. The rapper is known for being comedic and controversial at times. His 2010 single “Right Now” was banned by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in his home country. However, he has overcome the good and bad with numerous awards and the recent explosive global popularity of “Gangnam Style”.
Over the weekend, news about him being apart of an Anti-American song (and concert) in the early 200s rang bells across the USA. The lyrics about harming citizens in retaliation to a fatal American military accident is shocking and unnerving.
He has since apologized for his actions, but the alarming surprise is still ringing around the world.
I would like to know your thoughts on this issue. Please vote in the poll below to voice your opinion.

Go Get It … Go Get that Remote… It’s that time!
The Multi- Grammy Award Winning Gospel Duo Mary Mary is getting ready for season 2 of their WE tv fan favorite reality show.
Earlier today the ladies tweeted the following message:
“It’s Here! #MaryMary Season 2 Premiere – Special time 2nite 10pEst/9pEst right after @TamarVinceShow @WETV “
I have been a fan of this duo since 2001 and their music has always been one of the most appealing Gospel music sounds out there. The first season of their show was filled with Erica’s pregnancy, their manager’s rocky relationship with their sister/stylist Goo Goo and the everyday trials/triumphs of juggling family and a successful music career.
I am looking forward to season 2 for two reasons. Their sister’s wedding and more of a BTS look inside the recording studio.
