The Idea: The idea from the book started based on the a few of the current top hits on the music charts.

Like the ever popular Crazy Kids

by Ke$ha & We Can’t Stop by Miley Cyrus. Starting this project shortly after the Video Music Awards and the world talking about Miley’s scandlous performance it had me thinking about the way celebrities portray themselves. For example Miley’s song talking about “dancing with Molly,” and she is not talking about one of her girlfriends. The open talk about the use of drugs and alcohol. Not to mention the way Miley along with others showing a bit of a sexual side.

In my book I wanted to talk about the actual facts of what these celebrities make seems not so bad. When in reality the facts are disgusting.

F o u n d Te x t : PAGE 5: MILEY CYRUS IN FULL CONTROL

“able to be just more honest as an artist. And t h a t ’s r e a l ly what my record is about.”

Give Miley Cyrus some credit: she’s ridden this ceaseless wave of publicity all the way to No.1.

Her latest album, “Bangerz,” is at the top of iTunes in 70 countries, and the expectation is that she’s going to arrive at the top of Billboard’s 200 album chart as well.

While her success could be brushed off with the industry motto “all publicity is good publicity,” those who’ve closely watched the 20-year-old’s development say that’s not the whole story.

In CNN’s “The Life of Miley Cyrus,” which examines Cyrus’ music, message and personal journey, insiders who’ve intimately come to know the singer/actress say that her transition from a childhood of ATVs and cheerleading to adult superstardom was no accident. Instead, Cyrus has executed her transformation with total control.

Shirley Halperin, music editor for The Hollywood Reporter, tells CNN she gives Cyrus “a lot of credit for her own street smarts and her own understanding of what consumers want.”

After all, Halperin says, “there was a time when people thought Miley Cyrus would never be on Top 40 radio, because Disney was too squeaky

clean. Well ... she’s certainly turned that around.”

According to Josh Eells, the Rolling Stone writer who went skydiving and to a tattoo shop with Cyrus for Rolling Stone’s recent cover story, believes the beginning of this transition happened at 17, when Cyrus was filming the comedy “LOL” in Detroit with Demi Moore.

“She said that was the first time that she was really ... basically by herself.

There were other(s) -- obviously the rest of the cast and crew was around -- but she was kind of living on her own,” Eels said. “She would go out to clubs, which she’d never really done before. I think it was probably easier for her to be anonymous or kind of fly under the radar in Detroit a little bit. She said she learned a lot from (Moore), and I think she got into hiphop more up there.”

Of course, as Cyrus has peeled off the layers of adolescence -- along with several layers of her actual clothes -- many have “tsked” at her seemingly new image: There are the references to marijuana (super lemon haze is said to be her strain of choice); the sexually suggestive music videos; the risqué, semi-nude photos - not to mention her “Wrecking Ball” video - both courtesy

of Terry Richardson.

And then there’s that tongue.

But, Eells suggests, “the things that we see that seem crazy are very calculatedly crazy. Pharrell (Williams) phrased it in a very long text message that he wrote to her: ‘You’re not a train wreck, you’re the train pulling everyone else along.’ (Cyrus) seems to be totally together and with it and knows exactly what’s going on.”

Halperin agrees, noting that it isn’t easy to simply wake up and decide to aim for the top of the hot singles chart.

Right now, Cyrus knows that her audience wants honesty -- sometimes of the naked variety. And with “Hannah Montana” getting farther in her rear view, frank vulnerability is what the pop star can offer.

With “Bangerz” and all the changes it has brought, Cyrus told CNN that she’s now “able to be just more honest as an artist. And that’s really what my record is about.”

Artist and therapy student Anna and her friends marked a birthday in New York recently with a familiar ritual: They pumped up the electronic music, danced, and celebrated with a special guest called Molly.

“It was a group of about 12 people at someone’s house and we were all just celebrating,” Anna recalled.

“Somebody had it and, and you know, it was a pretty electronic music kind of crowd.

Molly is the street name for a drug that is pushed as the pure powder form of a banned substance known as MDMA, the main chemical in ecstasy.

In the last five years, Molly has made its way into popular culture, helped by references to it made by entertainers such as Madonna, Miley Cyrus and Kanye West.

The drug’s dangers became more clear after a rash of overdoses and four deaths this summer, including two at a huge annual electronic music festival in New York City.

Like ecstasy, Molly is said to give a lengthy, euphoric high with slight hallucinogenic properties.

The illusion that MDMA is some-

INSTRUCTOR HUISINGA

how less harmful has been branded with Molly, according to Anna.

“I have definitely heard that people think that it’s pure. I have some friends that are like ‘I only want to do Molly. I won’t do other stuff’ because it’s marketed as something that’s somehow better,” said Anna. “But actually no one knows what’s in it. All of it is a gamble.”

SHOCKING FACTS A B O U T S T D ’ S I N C O L L E G E

College is a place where young adults let loose: living young, wild and free.

What many don’t seem to realize is that there are indeed consequences to every action. One of the most hazardous issues college students face is the highly probable chances of catching something from a blown out sorority girl. You might laugh and say things could never happen to you, but after reading these 10 facts you may think twice.

1. One in every four college students has an STD. Although college students think they aren’t at risk of contracting an STD while “raw-dogging it,” these are some serious numbers to consider. Because of the prevalence of STDs in the college population, students should be extra vigilant about protecting themselves.

2. Only 54 percent of students regularly use condoms during vaginal intercourse, 29 percent during anal intercourse and only 4 percent during oral sex. These numbers are maddeningly low and surely a main reason why STD levels are so high among students. While many schools and communities provide free condoms and sexual education courses, many students are failing to utilize the provided resources.

3. A 2004 survey conducted by CDC researcher Dr. Sarah Forhan tested

838 teen girls for four STDs. Of these girls, 18 percent had the Human Papillomavirus, 4 percent had Chlamydia, 2.5 percent had Trichomoniasis and 2 percent had the Herpes Simplex Virus.

While some of these STDs are treatable, many are not and will be carried with these young girls and their sexual partners for life. Most, if not all, women in the study were unaware that they had an STD. 4. 87 percent of men know how to use a condom correctly and 70% believe men should carry a condom at all times “just in case,” but only 60 percent of women know how to use a condom correctly and a whopping 60 percent also say they would still have sex even if their partner refused to wear a condom.

This is a case where women have to step up and protect themselves from STDs. Most college campuses offer classes that will teach women about safe sex, condoms and

how to protect themselves. Of course, it is also important to learn that some partners, even those you really like, aren’t worth having unprotected sex with if it put you at risk of getting an

STD.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), binge drinking is “a pattern of drinking alcohol that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAV) to .08 grams percent or above. For the typical adult, this pattern corresponds to consuming five or more drinks for men, or for our more drinks for women, in about 2 hours.”

The NIAAA reports that “approximately two of every five college students of all ages—more than 40 percent—have reported engaging in binge drinking at least once during the past 2 weeks.”

You may think your drinking behavior doesn’t count as binge drinking.

You may believe your student doesn’t drink while away at school. Or you may think that this kind of drinking is so normal on your campus, when you were in college, or when you are among your friends that it’s not really anything to be worried about.

Unfortunately, underage drinking, binge drinking, and general irresponsible drinking can lead to some pretty unfortunate consequences.

The NIAAA lists a wide range of

INSTRUCTOR HUISINGA

negative outcomes experienced as a result of excessive drinking, including an estimated 1,700 deaths of college students—not young adults, but college students in particular—between the ages of 18 and 24 from “alcohol-related unintentional injuries.”

W r i t t e n Te x t : PAGE 11: T H I N K BEFOR YOU SPEAK

You’re mother said it best when she said, “if you do not have anything nice to say it’s best to not say anythuing at all.” Now that phrase applies to more then n what is being spoken out of the mouth it applies to everytweet, post, and picture desplayed to social media.

Most people understand the fact that there friends are going to see what is posted. Not many thing twice about that fact that what is desplayed in the internet is up forever. Deleted or not it can come back to haunt your future As a young adult you do not consider what future employers are going to think about what is posted with your name on it. That point of time in your life has not hit yet, but you should start to consider the facts that not everyone is going to think that drunk pick of you passed out by the toilet last Saturday is cool. Consider how you wnat people to view you and post responsibly.
