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!

Do You Accept Psy’s Apology?

Posted on December 10, 2012 by Btscelebs
Psy

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.

Mary Mary – Season 2 Premieres Tonight on WE tv

Posted on December 6, 2012 by Btscelebs

MaryMary

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.

SHINee’s Key Hangs in London with Designer Carri Munden

Posted on November 27, 2012 by Btscelebs

Key

Key is dressing like a royal.

I’m a big SHINee fan. The talented and cute boy band from South Korea is pretty much number one on my K-Pop list (like Psy is to my fellow Americans on Billboard/iTunes). Their hit 2008 single “Noona is so pretty/Replay” was my personal favorite.

Recently, British designer Carri Munden tweeted about member Key (real name Kim Kibum). She shared the following message and image:

“On a special play date today with a friend from Korea #guesswho ….We are being followed around Ldn by a massive film crew #sojoke…s #cutiekey #houseofliza#jusnoticeddudetakingaphotoofmetakingaphotolol”

Carri and Key

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to Key’s adventures in British fashion… on film!
