In Loving Memory of Heath Ledger

January 22, 2008 marked a sad and shocking day for all of us. Heath Ledger was found dead after an overdose of sleeping pills (according to authorities). I first fell in love with Heath's acting in "10 Things I hate about you" (1999). He also blew me away in "A Knight's Tale" (2001). It is obvious what a great talent Heath was. Last night, I was reading "Royally Jacked" by Niki Burnham and became emotional because Heath is mentioned several times in the novel.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Ledger family. We have truly lost one of the greatest actors of our time.

Teen Scene Magazine

Hi everyone!

I am excited to announce that I have recently become a staff writer for Teen Scene Magazine. Guess what is my first assignment? An interview with Sean Kingston. I first fell in love with his music after the release of "Beautiful Girls." I am so ecstatic about this wonderful opportunity! So, stay tuned for the interview!

Have a great weekend, Vanessa.

Fashion Disaster?

I just want to know, who here still wears Uggs? I personally do not see the big deal about them. But maybe because we're in the south, they are not a hugely popular fashion statement. So, do you have a pair of Uggs and if so, do you like them?

Wildest Dreams

Hi Everyone!

In my wildest dreams, I would want my novel to be turned into a movie. I hope to one day see it up on the big screen. Who would I want as my feature actresses? Here is a list of a few: Kelly Mullis, Brenda Song, Miley Cyrus, and Vanessa Hudgens. If you have any other cool ones to list, then please do!

Have a great day,
Vanessa

All About Me

Hi Everyone!

Happy New Year to all. What a great year 2007 was! I hope that 2008 will be even greater!

I am the author of my debut book, "The Beauty Queen and the School Nerd." The synopsis is that it is about two high school seniors, Jessica Richardson and Amanda Shaw. The two girls attend the ultra-exclusive Porter Academy in Atlanta. Jessica is a beauty queen with a glamorous life and tons of money, clothes, and make-up. Amanda comes from a lower class home and is the "school nerd" at Porter.

It has received awesome reviews from readers such as Audra Pagano and By the Books Review by Meagan Anderson. Read Audra's review on www.myspace.com/vanessaroselee. It's under the blog posting titled "What makes for the perfect X-Mas gift?"
