Posted on August 18, 2012 by Btscelebs

Go Bears!

Following the Chicago Bears win against the Redskins in the Pre-Season game today, here is the conclusion to my interview with Kyle Adams.

BTSCelebs: What are your hopes for this season?

Kyle Adams: As a player or a team? As a player to make the team and to contribute and as a team we want to win the Superbowl.

Who are your biggest fans?

Well.. probably my parents. For like as a team… people from Chicago love the Bears…great fans.

When you’re training for the season, what music do you usually listen to? Do you have a go-to song? (question courtesy of BTSCeleber Sara)

I like “Strong Tower” by Kutless… I usually listen to Christian music. Kind of keep me relaxed and ready to go.

“Sparkle” hits theaters on Friday, but Tuesday was pure GOLD!

On August 14th, 2012, “Sparkle” actress and singer Jordin Sparks and her mom Jodi took a photo with the Olympic Gold Medal winning Women’s Gymnastics Team.

Her mom uploaded the photo on Facebook with the caption “We’re fans”, while Jordin shared it and stated the following:

Justin Bieber works with Gospel legend Kirk Franklin

Posted on August 13, 2012 by Btscelebs

What is the Bieb doing in Gospelland?

The Twittersphere is heating up with messages about Kirk Franklin and the teen sensation rehearsing together!

As a longtime fan of CCM and gospel music, I found Anthony Evans and Kirk Franklin‘s tweets very interesting and BTSCelebs worthy.

Anthony Evans: “Just left a @justinbieber rehearsal w/@kirkfranklin &@only1darkchild. He was Killin. I’m now a fan!”

Kirk: “Great seeing you again bro! Me and my family appreciate the love! RT@justinbieber: @kirkfranklin in the building!”

I’m not a fan of Bieber, but I have to respect his decision to work with a gospel artist.

Chicago Bear Kyle Adams: “I’m a Christian. So, [football] gives me a platform to share my faith…”

Posted on August 12, 2012 by Btscelebs

Kyle is one of Chicago’s best guys!

On August 12th, 2012, I had the opportunity to briefly interview Chicago Bears player Kyle Adams. The team’s Tight End player expressed his passion about his faith in God, as well as, his career.

I asked him seven questions and part one of our chat is below:

BTSCelebs: What made you decide to join the Bears?

Kyle Adams: I was a free agent after the draft and they came in contact with me and I thought it would be the best situation for me coming out of college.

Is training a year-round process or only at Bears Training Camp?

Its definitely a year-round process. I don’t have many days off. I might take a little time off after the season. But, after that…  you have to start lifting and running and getting ready for the next one.

Describe a typical game day for the Bears (home or away games):

Home game… it kind of depends on when we play. But, you get up and have some meetings. If its a morning game, we get up and pretty much go to the stadium and get ready and play. If not, we have some meetings.. some down time to kind of relax and we play whenever it is. If its an away game, its the same scenario just in a different city.

How has being a Bear changed your life?

Well ….for me.. I’m a Christian. So, it gives me a platform to share my faith so its really neat. And then the other ways its changed my life… its kind of a noticeable job so alot of people respect it and that’s really neat. Just playing a game for a living is always fun.

*Next week, you can learn all about Kyle’s hopes for this football season, who he feels are his BIGGEST fans and his favorite music to listen to while training.*

[Jump5 Update] Brittany Hargest’s New Occupation is Dance Instructor?

Posted on August 8, 2012 by Btscelebs

The baby member of the former CCM singer/dance/gymnast group Jump5 has annouced her new occupation!

Brittany Hargest, who is now a solo CCM recording artist, shared the following message on Facebook about her life in 2012!

“Hey everyone!

 I know some of you are probably wondering where I’ve been lately, so I thought I would catch you all up with what I’ve been up to this past year. Not only have I been pursuing my biggest passion this year, which of course is music…but earlier this year, I got the opportunity to pursue my OTHER greatest passion, which is teaching dance! It’s something that I’ve been doing for a little while, but this past year was the first time I was able to choreograph dances and help them compete in dance competitions. It was an amazing year for me, and I couldn’t have been more proud of my students. I absolutely love getting to teach, and to see all my students with smiles on their faces when they learn something new, or find that all of their hard work actually does pay off! Dancing was such a huge part of my early life (before Jump5), and getting the chance to help spread that joy to others is such an amazing feeling. Anyway, hopefully that explains why I haven’t been around as much! 

 Hope that you are all doing amazing! And I hope I get to see you at a concert soon!

 In the meantime, here’s just a few pictures of some of my amazing students from this past year…

love you all…

xx b.”
