Dear Celebrities (yes ALL OF YOU)

So I havent written in a while to any of you because to be quite honest with you all you just haven't been that important to me. I don't know you and you don't know me. So considering how life has been for me you all have been on the back-burner for me. My apologies.

So I decided since it is now officially 2014, I would write to you all  a message of hope. I hope many of you celebrities will take this new year as a time to look inwardly. You are all human beings and are not perfect. However you have all taken paths in your lives where whether you like it or not, you are judged daily on how you live your life.

There is nothing wrong with being yourself. However, its one thing to live your life your way and then get upset when you are called out on it. When you make mistakes, own up to it. Reese Witherspoon did when she acted a fool when her husband got arrested and got herself in handcuffs for acting ridiculous. She apologized and acknowledged what she did before the press even got out because she KNEW she was an idiot at that moment, OR she is actually smart enough how to handle herself in the press. Learn from her.

I think we as your public need to take some responsibility as well. I think we all need to stop looking for drama from you all. We are too up in your business and clearly many of us kinda look for you to screw your life up. Its horrible. I acknowledge this is also a factor. However, what we do and what you do are two totally different issues. You cant control us. You can control you however.

Remember your fans though. Remember that without those who look to you for happiness, inspiration, info, whatever, you wouldnt have the career you have. Yes you will have talent but as someone who is trying to get her talents seen by the masses, I have learned that sadly its a freaggin popularity contest as well. You can have little to no talent and you can have all the talent in the world. The moment you insult your fans or hurt them, thats the moment your talent means dick. Im sorry that you want your freedom to be whomever you want and you have this heavy burden. However this is the career you wanted. You didnt want this, you shouldnt have strived for it.


So I wish all celebrities to have a great new year. I hope you have success. I hope that you are healthy. If you have demons you need to control I hope you beat them and get yourself on track. I hope you learn a lot this year and I hope to see some people become better human beings.

Good luck to you all.

Dear Miley Cyrus.... again

I changed my mind. I was just gonna leave it at Sinead's letter to you but since that one letter, two more were written and well I need to clarify my sentiments.

Look babe, I want to make it clear that I genuinely do applaud you for doing whatever the fuck you want. I think there is nothing wrong with being how you are, if it is in fact who you really are.

My problem with your antics at the MTV Awards and your videos arent so much WHAT you are doing but how and why.

I get it, you are killing Hanna Montana. Good for you! Thats a character on a tv show, she wasnt real to begin with and when the public expects you to be that, it just shows how fucking stupid society can be.

It just looks weird to me. You look like you are trying too hard. Thats just my opinion though! I think Sinead believed that you were doing this because you were being brainwashed into thinking this is the right way to go about it.

The MTV Video Awards was a joke hun. It had nothing to do with the song. It had nothing to do with the clothes. For me that tongue is fucking annoying. You look special. Put it back in, it aint sexy or cute. (Again my opinion) it was just chaos and not organized chaos. Your peers were in that crowd. Other musicians and artists and they were looking at you like wtf, this is horrible. They werent offended! You did nothing offensive it just looked weird. Thats why I thought it was bad.

Now heres the thing, thats ok babe. So what? If you are not trying too hard and this IS truly you, thats fine. Good for you, just understand as a celebrity this is what is being perceived by others.

Now a little on Sinead,....

Look, YOU mentioned her. YOU said she influenced you and that video. Ummm.... I get it kinda.. but were you aware of her back story before you did so? You ARE aware that her convictions and her take on being an artist and WHY she made the music she did are WAAAAAAY different than yours right?

This woman got bombarded with phone calls, email, you name it from every media outlet asking her what her thought was on that because the media ALSO thought that was shocking that you even knew who Sinead was! She hates that shit, especially after how we in the US treated her. She doesnt trust the media as much as you do.

She wrote a letter cuz what you represent is not a reflection of her and she felt the need to write you a letter. I legitimately believe her letter came from a good place.

Now this is where I take high offense to you....

You responded to her letter to you with tweets referring to things you know nothing about.

You mocked her mental illness and Amanda Bynes as well (letter to be done shortly) and her past. That is beyond fucked up!

You have fans with mental illness from depression, to schizophrenia, to bipolar disorder, to autism. You "defended" yourself by reblogging things she posted out of context, referenced her mental illness by comparing her to Amanda Bynes, none of which had ANYTHING to do with her letter! What are you telling others with mental illness? That their opinion isnt valid because of their issues? That they arent to be listened to? Why would you do what you did? Why wouldnt you have just simply posted this...

"Everyone has a right to their opinion. I am who I am fucking deal with it. Thanks for your concern but butt out!"

That makes the point, short and sweet. You couldnt do that though. You had to make jabs at someone. Someone who writes a letter of concerned whether you feel its warranted or not.

I am not worried about you. I think you are a strong powerful woman. I agree with SOME of what Sinead said but I also know you are young and still need to experience life more. We all learn from the mistakes that happen. You will make loads. We all do. Does that mean this is a mistake? I dunno it depends on how you take it.


Stay true to you. Try to have a little more elegance when dealing with letters and advice. Shrug it off and be aware of those you may insult along the way. You are worth more than you think. Yet you are also a human being like everyone else. You have fans who love you.  Be strong and happy

Dear Miley Cyrus....

Hey Hun, I've been wanting to write you a letter for an awfully long time but trying to find the perfect words have been difficult. Not to mention the fact that I have been far too busy to do this lately.

Thankfully, someone you claimed to look up to, Sinead O'Connor, read the Rolling Stones article and well, she did it for me. Well for any of us who feel you need to know this...

So instead of writing a huge letter, I'm just going to link to one I think you would more than likely read.

Be well.

Dear Kanye West

Hey hun! How's it goin'?

Ok enough chit chat. Look dude, I know you THINK everything is going ok but ummm, no. Not even close.

Congrats on the baby. I am truly happy. You called her North West. Clever. No really, people have been given you shit for her name and honestly I don't get the big deal. Penn Gillette named his daughter Moxie Crime-fighter. Seriously, North is fine.

I'm not worried about you and that stuff though, I know you ignore the hate.

Here's the thing though, you are really crazy with the "Mightier than Thou" bullshit. It needs to stop. You're a fucking father now and you need to acknowledge you don't fucking own everything, its not all about you and you are not the king of the fucking world, no matter how much you tell yourself and the rest of the world that.


Look man, your cockiness is the stuff of legend and you know what? Fine. Thats fine. I heard your music and I can tell you clearly depend on your ego to get you where you gotta go cuz your shit is too generic and can slip through the cracks. I know that sounded disrespectful, I apologize, but as a musician I know the truth about the industry. There are a lot of musicians in this world coming up with original material. A LOT. There is always going to be someone out there who is more talented than ANY of us. Sadly this industry is not just about the talent. Its about the showmanship. Its about what rocks the media's world up. You are really good at keeping yourself in the know with your antics.I actually do respect that because it takes street smarts to know how to do that. Not a lot of people have that capability and I respect that. However,  I think its sad that as a father now you will more than likely continue to do this and show your daughter a life that is not real. A life based on bullshit. She deserves more than that. She needs to learn humility, respect of others, accepting of other people's flaws and of her own. She needs a good family upbringing and considering her parents while I dont know Kim very well, she seems like a loving woman so I just hope you both raise that child right.

Look for someone who wants fans and a following being disrespectful to others is really not working out for you. Im sure you and Kim have had private time and I do wish people would respect your privacy a bit more especially now that you have a child because that quality time is very important. I gotta say, you are trying soo hard to keep a persona up you are neglecting the fact that you have a new job to do.

So you havent been around Kim a lot specifically during pregnancy. I get it you got a job. See though, all my letters to celebrities thus far have made the same true point: While it sucks that it is the case, whether you want the responsibility or not, the media is watching what you do and judging it. People see you and look up to you or look down and judge you.

If you dont want people thinking that you are distancing yourself from the Kardashian family then make a stronger effort to be there. The more we see you prancing around the globe working on business or whatever, the more they will see Kim alone with the baby. Dont give the media fodder. You think you are a great father, fucking prove it! Show the media and tell them to shut the fuck up and recognize a good parent. Look not all parents are perfect, I get it but at least show that you are trying.

You kinda didnt help yourself recently though. Jimmy Kimmel did a parody based on you and it was a fucking joke. It was a joke about you acting like a child.

Dude, seriously, you just fucked this up for yourself. You made yourself out to be more of an asshole than people already think. Instead of just brushing it off as a joke (because it was) You went on twitter and started writing shit about Jimmy like a fucking 15 year old girl! Well congrats dude because what you did was basically prove his point. You think you hurt him or damaged his cred? Babe, you just helped that sob get more viewers. You just made yourself look like a fucking idiot. You need to stop doing that shit and grow the fuck up.

You have a tendency to say shit without thinking. You have been doing it for year now. You are showing a lack of intelligence by continuing to fuck up and do it over and over again because clearly you are not learning from past mistakes.


I wish you the best. I sincerely do. For the benefit of your beautiful daughter. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to grow and be proud of what you have done for others. Dont make people look at you negatively. Your momma is looking down on her son and she has the right to be proud so do your momma proud and be a good person!

Dear Taylor Swift.....

Babe, just so you know. I congratulate you on your success.

You are a gifted singer. You write from your heart and I respect that. You are beautiful and I gotta say, you seem to be a genuinely nice person. No joke! You seem like someone that genuinely does her best to be sweet to everyone when you are in their presence because you were brought up to be a respectful woman. I commend that.

Now I will be truthful, I am not a huge fan of your music. Its nothing personal. I get why people like it. I just am not a fan of the genre really. Has nothing to do with you as a person.

I just wanted to give you some advice...

Stop dating so much. I know its hard. I cant even imagine what its like to date in the public eye.  I know this isnt completely your fault but yes, you have dated many men the past year or two and hun, its not looking good for you.

See this is how the world is seeing it:

You date a guy, you write a song about them.
You claim you are this girl who does nothing but sit at home and watch tv or whatever (I watch Ellen honey, Ive heard you). then you date another guy and write a song.
Everything that has happened in your life you write a song about it.

The more people you date, the more its looking like YOU are the problem and not these guys.

Being a young adult woman in the public eye is clearly a difficult task. You are judged daily. 24/7. For a growing woman trying to experience life that is a horrible thing to go through.

Look, you seem like a great girl but what you are presenting to your fans is this idea that you dont believe you are whole without a man in your life. You have not shown anyone that you are capable of being single and just being a strong independent woman.

There are young girls out there that are looking up to you and what they see is a woman that is desperately looking for love and when it doesnt work out she talks shit in her songs.

I understand as a fellow singer/songwriter that yes, it is the BEST way to express yourself and get your feelings out. However you need to think about these men who you feel have wronged you. Yeah maybe they were douchebags. Perhaps they deserve the backlash of people assuming the song is about them. However they arent all terrible and I dont think they deserve to be ridiculed on national tv. You can sit there and say a specific song isnt about Harry from One Direction yet its not believable if you are performing that song on stage and then mock a British accent and pretend to be the "boy". It makes your claim not hold water.

Look you do what you want. Its your life. However understand that having a significant other in your life cant make you whole. Especially when you have yet to become YOU. Learn about yourself. I know you think you know all you need to know but trust me you dont. These relationships arent going to work if you continue to date date date and not fix fix fix. We are human, we are all flawed. If they arent sticking around maybe its something about you. I know its them too I mean hello, it takes two to make a relationship but considering the amount of men youve dated recently, I would look in the mirror a bit more. Are you needy? Clingy? Too over the top? Not enough? Are you in their business? Too self involved??? I mean these are things you need to find out about yourself.

I applaud you for starting to have a sense of humor about it all. I remember at the Golden Globes it was said you were not happy with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for their wisecrack about keeping your hands off Michael J Fox's son. It was a joke hun! You should have laughed because you need to be aware you have dated a lot of men.

Hey, if you just told the world "Hey i love dating men!!!Its fun fun fun!!" Good for you! Thats not what youre doing though. You are telling the world you need to be in love without telling the world. Be in love with yourself first!!!

I hope you do find your true love one day. I just hope you know you dont need to have someone in your life to be whole.

Dear Justin Beiber.....

You are my first letter to a celebrity on my blog. Congratulations! I would just like to say I feel you are a very lucky man for all the success you have had.

However hun, you're really scaring me.

I'm worried. I know you don't know me. I know in your eyes everything is coming up Beiber!

Justin, what happened? You were this cute little kid who had Usher on your side, loved his mom, and truly showed what a hard working guy you are.

Now, don't get me wrong. I was never a fan. Sorry just being honest. I am not a fan of your music. I find your fans to be annoying as all hell. Your Beliebers can be scary. However, its a matter of taste and you were very deserving of your fanbase with all the hard work that you clearly had put into it.

Having said that, I'm truly disappointed in the way you have been carrying on the past couple of years.

I know, I know, you are growing up. You have the right to be wild and go ballistic. Yes, you worked hard and earned that right. However earning the right to have fun is one thing. The idea that your fun requires the disrespect of others is another.

You wanna smoke pot, get (ugly ass omg) tattoos, and have an OCCASIONAL loud party is fine. You're at the age where thats normal.

However, nightly loud parties in a gated community where people have fucking 9 to 5 jobs the next day (something you know NOTHING about)  and they may have kids who have school the next day (again something you know NOTHING about) is fucked up. You know it.

Spitting on fans who are there waiting for YOU (yeah we saw the pics, Justin, even after you demanded that they be removed) and LAUGHING at them even when that little girl (who at MOST was 13) was crying and mortified was horrible. You should fucking be ashamed of yourself.

You have been breaking the law and acting like you are indestructible. You're not. No one is. You are going to get yourself hurt. What sucks about it is, with the way you have been acting, when it happens, there is a good chance no one will even give a flying fuck except your mother. What sucks about that is, even though we are all individuals and we make our own mistakes in life, she will blame herself. She will, whether she is responsible or not. I know you love your mom. I saw that in the doc and dammit its an awesome thing. I truly truly admire that.

You are fucking shaming her right now. People are watching your antics and they are already blaming your mother for allowing you to have a career at such a young age and bypass the normal things kids do. You didnt learn things you should have learned and they are going to blame her. Do you really want that? Have you been so hypnotized by the spotlight that you have forgotten about everyone else except yourself?

Look. I truly hope you are just going through a phase. You are a young growing man and this is very common. However you need to be told this is not ok. There is a reason why you get a lot of hate. I dont support those who hate you because of your music. I actually hate when people do that because music depends on the person. Not everyone is going to like the same thing and to hate someone because of the music they make is ridiculous. However people who think you're a douche bag because of the things you have done or said is totally different.

You are capable of having a lifelong career but the things you are doing right now are juvenile and immature. That may work for your Belieber fans now but remember, they will eventually be grown ass women who will think you are a tool for not having matured along with them.

I truly hope for the best for you, as of now though, its time you are put in the corner to have some alone time to focus on what youve done.

Welcome to "Dear Celebrities"!!!!

So you may be wondering, "Natalia wtf is this about??" Easy.

Ever want to write a letter to a celebrity yet you know DAAAAAAMN well they will more than likely NEVER read it? Well here you go!

This blog will be letters to celebrities. That's it! I will be writing letters to celebrities that I feel they need to read.

Look admit it. We all are judgmental. Even when we say "You shouldn't be judgmental" we are already judging those for judging others. I own that I do it. I own that sometimes its wrong. However it can come from a good place.

These days we see celebrities just do ridiculous things. They need to be told. We see celebs do great things and not get cred for it. They need to be told. Sometimes we see celebs slipping or down in the dumps and need words of encouragement. Praise. Chastisement. A telling off. You name it.

Clearly many celebs (or wanna be celebs) out there don't have people who care about them enough to tell them the truth. Thats what these letters are for. There is a very good chance the celebs will never see these letters but hey. The good thing is, its out there. the information is there for them to hear. Whether they hear it or not, thats their issue to deal with.

If celebs DO see these letters I will say this:

I dont hate you. I dont love you. You are human beings. These letters can sometimes be harsh and tick you off but its based on what you show the world. You dont like it, dont show it. As celebrities you all have a responsibility whether you want it or NOT, to represent yourself a certain way. Its sadly part of the job. Some of these letters may seem mean. Some will praise as well. It wont all be negative. And even when they are I do admittedly try my best to give you some benefit.

As for everyone else reading this. Send your submissions!!!!! I want your letters as well! Keep in mind though I will not accept letters like "Dear Justin Beiber.... die... love Anthrax Maker" or whatever. That not how these letters work. I dont want to spread hate at all. I want valid positions.

If you dont agree with my letters. Get over it. Its a blog. Im just a gal with a view. If you can express yours I can express mine.
