I don’t think I’ve told my readers here that I write several blogs. One of the blogs that I write is called “Watching House” and it’s on the 451press.com network of blogs.

I just found out that they are having a comment contest. I believe it started on January 8th and runs through to the end of the month. You could win $500 just for leaving a comment on any of the 451press blogs – with the exception of the main 451press.com blog itself.

You see, 451press is a new network of blogs. I believe the network began in October with a call for writers for various blog topics. I answered a call for new bloggers in late November and I was signed on to write my Watching House blog that discusses the TV show House M.D..

I do write ups of House, show recaps, discuss various aspects of the show and the stars that play each character. I also spend a lot of time writing about the gorgeous Hugh Laurie and his life outside of the show.

I’m not quite sure just how many blogs are in our network now but I believe it’s well over 100 blogs. I’m sure that if you come to visit you’ll find several blogs on topics from your favorite TV shows, Favorite Celebrities, Home and Garden, Books, Sports and leisure and many other categories that you’d be pleased to read and leave a comment on for your chance to win $500.

All you need to do for a chance to win is to leave a quality comment on any of the 451press blogs. You need to write a comment that contributes to the blog, or the post in particular on which you are leaving your comment. Every qualifying comment made on the 451 press blogs between now and January 31st will be entered into a random drawing for prizes. Every comment that you leave will count as an entry. Just remember you comments must be of quality – not just a “hello, great site” as that won’t count.

Here’s a list of the prizes:

We will award six prizes to the six randomly chosen comments from this month. There will be one (1) $500 cash prize and five (5) $100 cash prizes. We will contact the winning commenters using the email address they enter with the comment. Comments made through January 31st will be entered in the contest and the winners will be announced on February 1st.

So what are you waiting for? Start at my Watching House Blog and then scroll to the bottom of the page that you’re on to see the wide variety of blog categories and visit another one of my fellow 451press bloggers sites and leave them a comment too.

Which Movies of 2006 had the stars talking?

Well The Prestige was given the nod of approval by Josh Groban, he said “Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman are awesome. And I’ve loved magic since I was a kid. That it’s a murder mystery with twists based on magic makes it amazing.”

Then there’s Anjelica Huston, who Like many I’m sure, enjoyed Borat “I don’t know if it’s the best movie, but it’s the funniest. I have never laughed so hard in a movie. I’ve never laughed so hard, period.

Mike Myers, Canadian funny man, enjoyed the movie The Fountain. Of the movie he’s says “It’s beautiful. I’ve never seen anything like it. All the performances were great. It was transformative.”

Rupert Everett quits Reality program

by Tricia

British actor Rupert Everett walked out of a celebrity version of reality TV show The Apprentice after just one day, because he hated being treated like a Big Brother contestant.

The 47-year-old star couldn’t stand the intrusiveness of the cameras and microphones on Celebrity Apprentice, a show created for British charity Comic Relief.

He says, “It is just so different from doing a feature film. I went in with good intentions but I just could not cope with the Big Brother mentality.”

Everett was one of ten celebrities, including Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole, to take part in the show, which will be aired in Britain in March 2007.

Planning a winter vacation

by Tricia

The New Year is coming up fast and I bet that many of you reading this site have been thinking about going on some kind of winter vacation. I know that I have! Come February or early March I’ll be more than ready to get out of this cold freezing climate for a week in the hot sun. Oh yeah, I can almost feel the sun on my back now.

So … I’m starting to think about where I might go for a little R&R. I love exotic places, and who knows maybe I’ll go at just the right time and spot some vacationing celebs too? I’ll have to look up some of the vacation hot spots of the stars. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to stay in the types of hotels that they stay in, but maybe I can find something reasonable close by? Yeah, that’s an idea.

Luckily, I’m going to be able to get a little help planning my vacation this year with Hotelreservations.com, as they have a wonderful site where I can look for, and make Hotel Reservations just about anywhere in the world.

I keep hearing how nice St. Lucia is, so I went to Hotelreservations.com, and took a peek at what kind of accommodations are available in early March. No that’s not when I’m planning my vacation. I really don’t know if or when I’ll get to have a vacation this winter – but I can dream can’t I?

I set the search results up to show me the lowest priced hotel rooms and other forms of accommodations first. The prices are reasonable for that time of year- it’s close to March Break after all, and the resorts and hotels. Oh my. They’re lovely. Now I have no doubt that hotelreservations.com will be able to do the job for me when I do seriously decide to search for accommodations for my next jet set vacation.

So where are you going for your vacation this winter?

Do you look like a star?
