KateModern Hits Dublin Today!

For those of you not already familiar with this online soap opera you can see it on Bebo. More than 2.3million viewers now regularly log on to Bebo to follow the adventures of London art student Kate. Today, the stars of the soap are taking a lucky fan to Catherine Morris to lunch after she one a competition on the site.

the following is an extract from the site

Hi guys,

It’s Charlie here. I wanted to keep Kate’s Bebo page alive. I thought I would explain what happened to my dear Kate who I miss so much already.

Genevieve Strathcorran, or as you and I knew her, Kate, died on Sunday the 13th of January 2008, taken from her friends and family after living a really turbulent life, especially the past 6 months.

She was taken from us prematurely. She shouldn’t have been taken, it’s not fair on us and it’s not fair on her.

Kate can sleep now but I can’t, I need answers and I need your help finding them. Please leave your messages for Kate here, I know you all loved her as much as me and if she is logging onto her Bebo from heaven I know she’ll be watching.

Lots of Love
Charlie

MY SUPER SIZED SPOILT BRAT

ARE YOU FOR REAL?
these kids are just plain annoying, the parties aren't anything special, and generally nothing exciting or amusing happens in the whole half hour..
Seriously. I keep waiting for the punchline to come…but then the credits roll and the show ends. I keep waiting for the super stretch limo in the end to explode into a million pieces and end my pain and suffering. But it just doesn’t happen.

For those of you unfamiliar with the show - it follows around teenagers on their party planning adventure for their sweet 16 party. Fair game. Except they are the most ridiculous, waste of space, self centered group of kids I have ever seen with parents that are just as stupid, wasteful and irresponsible as their children. These are parents that are laying out anywhere from $200k-500k for a party for their spoiled worthless children who will end up like Paris Hilton and be famous for doing nothing! It really makes me sick. I can’t stand to see people waste their money and raise such idiot children (and then fill my tv space with them!!). I would really like to see at least one episode where the parents decide to buy their kids a brain transplant instead of a new Mercedes.

The Razzie Awards award the worst movies that Hollywood has to offer each year. This year will be the 28th annual Razzie Award and they are scheduled the day before this year’s Oscars might be held.

Lindsay Lohan will be a major feature this year. Lohan's thriller, "I Know Who Killed Me," in which she plays two characters who may or may not be the same person, received a leading nine Razzie nominations, among them worst picture of 2007. In the movie, Lohan plays a small-town girl abducted by a psychopath and an alter-ego, a stripper who's missing body parts.For worst actress, Lohan polled more heavily than any actor since Sofia Coppola in "The Godfather Part III," according to Razzie sources.`I Know Who Killed Me' is the most fabulously brainless movie since `Showgirls,'which Razzie voters picked as the worst movie of the 1990s, according to senior Razzie Officials. "By the end of it, you still don't know what happened. Are they twins or aren't they? Did she imagine it? Can I please have my hour and 50 minutes back?"

The other worst-picture nominees were "Bratz," a live-action take on the cartoon about four chic young girls. Lohan was cited twice as worst actress for "I Know Who Killed Me," while the four "Bratz" stars — Logan Browning, Janel Parrish, Nathalia Ramos and Skyler Shaye — shared a nomination. Also nominated was Jessica Alba for three films, "Awake," "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" and "Good Luck Chuck".
