Just Jared Jr’s Contests Are Legit!

Posted on July 1, 2011 by Btscelebs

Ok, I will level with you…I have won numerous K-drama DVD sets and Kpop CDs are easy to obtain too. However, anything in America…not so much. Winning contests in the USA is extremely hard and mostly impossible.

Just Jared, on the other hand, is one of those fair websites. Thru Jared Eng’s youngster site, I won the RIO soundtrack! So, who am I referring you to today for future giveaways? You guessed it…Just Jared!

Now, I just have to find out how to get him to accept Kpop on his site? What contest should I enter for that?

[Review] Disney Channel’s “So Random”

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Btscelebs

After one exhausting week of work, I have to admit I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s episode of “So Random”. The show may lack one pivotal star and their previous set up, but the kiddie version of SNL is working for them.

Whether you are 4 to 144, there is something catchy about “So Random”. I was a little hesitant to watch it after the departure of “Sonny” [aka Demi Lovato] and it is still impossible to not miss her with the crew. However, with the exception of the occasion mean skit [ making fun of celebs ] it is quite funny.

Pros: imitation Wheel of Fortune and MC Grammar

Cons: Tantrum Girl and that Goulish Skit

It’s fair to give “So Random” 7 out of 10 stars. Although, I do wish they would explain why Chad Dylan Cooper joined the show and where the “Sonny Monore” character is today.

Elliott Yamin Tweets His Love Of Fairytales

Posted on June 17, 2011 by Btscelebs

American recording artist Elliott Yamin is one of my favorite singers. I own all three of his studio albums, I have seen him perform live, and I think he is one of the most talented male vocalists around.

However, I guess there was something I didn’t know about the former American Idol finalist. Apparently, he loves fairytales. He tweeted the image above and “Princess Yamin” as the caption. Do I like seeing him in a tiara? NOT AT ALL!!! But, I’m curious about your opinion.

Check out his recent interview as Prince Yamin here

Posted on June 10, 2011 by Btscelebs

Two of Asia’s top Producer/Songwriters tweeted and retweeted my tweets!

This does not happen everyday…in fact it doesn’t happen at all! Apparently, June is my lucky month.

It all started on June 3rd, 2011 when the following tweet from songwriter/producer Sean Alexander. He retweeted this message to his twittersphere: “KimHyunJoongFan Everyone, let’s make #Kimhyunjoong number one in the USA too! RT the following…… @philshin76@Steven_Lee_ @seanalexander23 #KHJ4America“

If that wasn’t enough, Producer,Singer, and Songwriter Ian Choe mention me in response to this article: http://www.soompi.com/news/2pms-taec-yeon-wants-a-blind-date

The article was all in fun and I wanted to share a light-hearted message to all the Hottests out there. [Hottest is the name of 2pm’s fan club]

This was his tweet: “……@ShellyM86 lol how that qualifies as newsworthy i will never understand”

That was pretty much it! What do you think of BTSCelebsCEO recent mentions on Twitter?

“The Chicago Code” gets Cancelled!

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Btscelebs

Well, my hometown’s new FOX TV show is over.

I was filmed in exactly 2 episodes,but I worked on 3. The first was the pilot were I froze outside and had to walk back to holding[for a good number of blocks] in the rain…without an umbrella, toasted in the sun for 10 + hours the second time around for outdoor scenes in August, but the third was the best. It was the shortest day of filming… everyone was so warm and friendly and I was able to stay in a cool air conditioned building[most of the time] on a warm day.

Taking the bitter with the sweet, I will sort of miss the “Code”. It represented Chicago in Hollywood. I’m not saying I agree with all of the subject matters, but it was good to know my hometown was showcased every week on a nationally (and internationally via the web) televised show every week.

Farewell Chicago Code….you will be missed.

We Chicagoans have had our fill of edgy crime dramas…..Hopefully, Hollywod writers will bring a family oriented comedy here in the future.
