Fake Friends

I watch a lot of TV. A lot. So obviously I get people envy; envy in the sense that I want these people to exist because I think they would make the best friends. Obviously I love my real friends, but as the great Craig Chambers once said 'You can never have too many friends!' Naturally I made a list of some people that need to be real that only exist on the box. (I enjoy making lists almost as much as watching TV).

Amy Farrah Fowler (The Big Bang Theory)
She is a smart cookie, loves her friends and has a bit of wit in that noggin of hers. Also as she slowly adjusts to a social life I could convince her all of my opinions are right - so no arguments.

Phoebe Buffay-Hannigan (Friends)
I could attend all of her gigs and she could give me free massages. I love her attitude to life and I bet if I spent just 5 minutes with her some of my cares would drift away.

Karen Walker (Will & Grace)
She is rich. Filthy rich. She looks after her friends. So then I would be rich. That's all I want from life.

Gloria Pritchett (Modern Family)
I am probably one of the few people to love her voice. I would have her shout at everybody in the street.

Spencer Reed (Criminal Minds)
He is extremely intelligent and can read something like 15,000 words a minute. If I have a book that I want to know the ending of quickly I would have him round quick-sharpish.

Raven Baxter (That's So Raven)
Can't hurt to have a psychic around (much). Everything looks like fun when you are around her. Also within my clumsy life it would be nice to have someone to warn me of the traps ahead.

Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation)
She is just positive 100% of the time. Never a sad moment. She even laughs when she heard she lost her election. I need positive people around me as I can be a Debbie Downer at times.

Cameron Tucker (Modern Family)
It was a toss up between him and Phil. I just feel Cam would turn every frown upside down. I would feel normal standing next to his extreme ways and hysterics - or I would join in, nothing wrong with being dramatic.

Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl)
Everybody needs a bitchy friend. And who better to have then the Queen B herself. She runs the New York elite and makes no apologies. She has power, I like people with power.

Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
I love her wit, sarcasm and attitude. Plus having a private investigator as a buddy must have its privileges - also she is gorgeous and would look nice to stand near.

The Real Women of Disney

Well aren't these ladies all grown up? One thing these girls all have in common is that they are huge Disney stars. They have all had their own Disney Movies, TV Shows and record deals. There seems to be a formula when it comes to breeding the next star. They need to be actresses, singers and dancers. Triple threats. They become hugely popular with children and make millions for Disney. Then they grow up - and they completely detach themselves from the mouse ears. Here is a list of my top 5 Women of Disney's past.

1. Hilary Duff
She was the first, the original and the best. She starred as Lizzie McGuire in the TV show and then the movie. She also had other made for TV movies such as Cadet Kelly. After the movie she left Lizzie behind. Since then she has had 4 albums and three compilation albums, starred in films such as Cheaper by the Dozen and had bit parts in TV shows like Two and a Half Men. Also she is the first to have a baby and get married. I love Hilary. I want her to do more stuff - but for now I will just enjoy her hugely popular Instagram profile.

2. Raven Symone
Star of That's So Raven. The funniest show to come from Disney in my opinion. She also starred in 2 Cheetah Girls Movies (both very entertaining). Since she left Disney she has done bits and pieces. I really enjoyed her sitcom, State of Georgia, but like all the shows I like it eventually got cancelled. She is now a star on Broadway in the musical Sister Act, I desperately need to see this.

3. Miley Cyrus
The Queen of Disney. Her show and movie for Hannah Montana was huge! She got world famous and had hit songs in every chart. She was a phenomenon and you can't even argue with the fact. Since leaving Disney she has probably had the biggest transformation. She has targeted a much older crowd than the tweens she entertained for years. Gone are the lovely locks of hair and say hello to tattoos and punky blonde hair. I personally like her new music and her transformation. She seemed trapped with Hannah and I think now she doesn't give a shit and she is just being Miley.

4. Selena Gomez
The beautiful and talented star of Wizards of Waverley Place. She is an amazing comic actress. She also did the movie for TV show. Not as good but she then did one more season of the show so all was forgiven. She hasn't officially left the brand as she just did a TV movie and brought her character back. However, when not working for Disney she is doing more grown up stuff. Spring Breakers was definitely a huge detachment and her music is more grown up and more suitable for the clubs than a quinceanera.

5. Demi Lovato
Demi started out in a Disney movie called Camp Rock and her voice shocked us all. For such a young lady her voice is very mature. She then got her own show called Sonny With A Chance. It wasn't great but it showcased her skills. Unfortunately through personal struggles she left the show and Disney. After getting healthy she has now become a judge on The X Factor and released number one albums. If I was to listen to any former Disney Stars music it would most definitely be hers.

Right now we have a new generation of Disney stars coming through. I don't watch Disney anymore but you can't ignore the power house of it. Ones to watch out for are Bridget Mendler, China McClain, Zendaya and  Bella Thorne - they already have their own shows and record deals - world beware.
