Paris Hilton robbed

The article i read today was about a robbery at Paris Hilton's house on friday morning. A man broke into her house and stole an estimated $2 million dollars worth in jewelry and other things from her room. Hilton was not home at the time of the break in and was spared the chance at being harmed. Police are still investigating the security tapes and are not sure who broke in. Because of the security cameras they will probaly not have a hard time identifying the person/people who broke in. A benefit of having the kind of money that she has is that the police will work on her case very quickly and shortly after the crime have it figured out. This kind of a crime with so much stuff at stake and from a celebrity is probaly going to be solved quickly. With being a celebrity and having a lot of money, one can get answers the things quicker and the police will put this crime as a high priority on their list.

Confessions of a Teen Nanny Part 2

I finished the book Confessions of a Teen Nanny this week and with Adrienne and Cameron becoming such good friends, they have been hanging out a lot and Cameron is showing Adrienne what it is like to live in her life. Cameron brings Adrienne to Bergdorf's and gets her all of these clothes for "free" as she says it, which in the end Mrs. Warner ends up paying for. Cameron ends upo throwing parties with Adrienne and it really feels like they are going to be good friends. With this friendship though, Adrienne is falling away from her old friends and just keeps getting more and more behind in school. Adrienne also has her nanny job for 2 more months and it is seeming to her as though the other nanny is never coming, and this was all their plan to get her to say. As Adrienne sees how Cameron is going behind hers and Liz's back, she just can't stand it anymore and finally has to confront her. When she does this it seems as though everything that they have done together seems to come back to Adriennes fault and she just can't take this right now. While all this is happening it has given her the chance to make her friendships better with her old friends from before she got the job as Emma's nanny. Adrienne has seen what it's like to live like Cameron and she would much rather have her old and happy life back where things like what brand your wearing and what your house is like doesn't matter.

Reading Minute

The article I read for reading minute is titles "Employers: No Layoffs Here." This article is about even with the economy getting worse; some companies are still sticking to promises of not laying off employers. This week alone about 40,000 jobs have already been cut and some companies are not letting their employers fear and are not taking job cuts. Many companies have a no-layoff policy or practice that they are going to stick to, which gives many working people no reason to worry. I think that this is a really good and helpful idea for companies to use, because they can still save money by making salaries a little less because with how many people they have a little less in their salaries can add up to a lot in the end. Companies with the no-layoff policy tend to have loyal and hard-working employees.

In the book Anna and Ben have just gotten back together since he came to the spa at the end of the last book, Anna and Sam presented their film in class and told their classmates about a new film that they are producing, and Cammie is feeling really out of their group lately. Anna has had an internship with her dad's girlfriends company and is on the edge of getting fired from it because of the incident with Susan. When she goes in to talk to Margaret, she gets fired from her but gets hired from the head of the whole company.

Girls On Film Part 2

Anna and Sam have decided that they will shoot their video at an exclusive spa and that Anna will write the script while Sam will shoot and direct the film. When they get to the spa it ends up that Cammie and Dee are there along with Anna's sister, Susan. Anna is not very happy to see Cammie and Dee there because it never works out well when the two of them show up.Anna spends most of the time in her suite writing and revising while the others are out having a good time at the spa. While she is in her suite, Cammie and Susan are becoming better friends than she ever imagined. On the day of filming, they are filming in the sauna and in the middle of a scene in walks Ben, which creates even more problems. Anna could not believe that he would show up at the spa, with their arguing and talking, it turns out to be a really entertaining film with Anna and Ben as the stars of the show. In the end Anna and Ben get back together and their film goes over well.
