"The second I heard that the largest tornado in the past six decades
hit a town a couple of counties over, my heart just sank."
 
JOPLIN needs YOU!
 
Here is where I highlight a new movie or TV show that brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.  However, this month I'm challenging all of us to create our own HAPPY ENDING movie, our own SWEET TV SHOW series...what's the theme? - Joplin, Missouri.  
 
I'm encouraging all of you to get involved in raising funds to send to Convoy of Hope, Samaritan's Purse, the Red Cross, or for a group of you to physically drive to Joplin and help the tornado survivors get the food, clothing and prayer they need after the worst tornado in six decades literally destroyed this city last Sunday, May 22nd.  
 
I went to volunteer there yesterday and it literally looked like an atomic bomb was dropped on the city. Never seen anything like it. Yet, many people where there to comfort the ones who lost their family, friends and homes in the blink of an eye. This is little Joseph who survived the twister. A group of us brought over supplies and a bag of books and toys for this cute little man.  I knew I would return home a changed person.  The stories shared will NEVER be forgotten.

Interviewed on Great News Radio

Mike and Carrie Burns had me on their show as a guest last month to share about the importance of making wise media choices.  
 
TOP FIVE
 
Pilot Good Christian Bit**es show soon to air! ABC got so many complaints they changed the name to "Good Christian Belles" and it's still getting a horrible rating from it's viewers!  Come on ABC, you can do better than that! (click on photo to watch sneak preview)
 
 
 
 
 
Lady Gaga mocks Christianity in video JUDAS - just released. (click on photo to watch video)
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rhianna and Britney Spears horrifically do a sex bondage act on stage to open the 2011 Billboard Awards. (click on photo to watch video - graphic!)  
 
Are these singers going to apologize to our kids when they get a sexually transmitted disease?, pregnancy?, NOOOOOO! Our kids are hurting...they don't need this message crammed in their brain. This should be illegal! So sad...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Kung Fu Panda 2 hit theaters days ago and it's CLEAN, FUN entertainment! Click on poster to watch the trailer. To read more about this movie check out PLUGGED IN.
 
 
 
 
 
 
With families constantly on the GO - the sweetest thing for me as a kid was to have quality family time during meal time. Check out these family mealtime devotionals.
 
 
 
 
In the Hollywood Exposed presentation I cover the latest news like the headlines listed above and give a sweet list of clean entertainment choices from TV shows, to movies, magazines, music, comedians, and more!

 
Book Project Begins
 
After 8 long years of dreaming about my first book idea that's been crammed in the back of my mind, I'm FINALLY putting my thoughts down on paper...or on keyboard.  Luckily I kept a journal
while working in LA so I have a lot of the details of the Hollywood years on record.  
 
If you have any major topics you want covered in this creation, please email me @ tina@tinamarielive.com and I will consider it for the book project.  It will be geared toward life in LA, making wise media choices, and how celebrities live opposite lifestyles of what they promote.  In addition, there will be a ton of info on WHERE you can get help for loved ones, or even your self on destructive behaviors and addictions that are promoted in entertainment. 
 
I am looking forward to exposing a lot of what the media tries to HIDE from it's viewers.

"I just wanted to let you know that you made a difference in my life today.  I wanted to thank you for inspiring me to be a better person.  
 
Because of you, I knew I needed to talk to my counselor about a girl who was cutting herself so she could get some help!"

REAL celeb gossip
 
"I get a lot of letters from kids that just hurt.  Some kids are so depressed at home and with how people treat them in school that they cut themselves.  This happens all over the world - kids who don't want to kill themselves, but nobody understands how much they hurt, so they cut themselves with razor blades..."
 
 
Chester Bennington - singer in the band Linkin Park
 

 
 
 
 
However, if you read the lyrics to Chester's songs it's FULL of foul language, suicide, hangings, etc.??? Chester, you're right!  Our kids need hope!  Can you sing about what you really believe in? Thanks!
 
FAST FACTS
Kids are told in school, by friends and through advertisements that condoms are SAFE. However, I believe SAFE is a deceiving term.  In Webster's Dictionary, safe means "free from risk, absolutely sure." Condoms are NOT 100% free from risk.  It gives young people the false hope that they will not get an STD or get pregnant if they wear a condom.
 
Something to think about. Doctors wear AT LEAST two pairs of latex gloves before doing any surgery.  This helps protect them from any possible blood contamination.  However, a SINGLE latex glove is FIVE TIMES the thickness of a condom!  Our kids need to know that abstinence is the best way to honor their body and their future spouse!
