Happy Aniversary
I just wanted to wish my friend Ileana a Happy Aniversary! Her website, Mary-Kate and Ashley World, turns one tomorrow!
[Possible] No Updates
I am not for certain, but there may not be any updates for the next few days, until Monday maybe? I am not too sure when/if exactly. We're ripping up all the carpet in our house and putting in tile, and so the computer/internet/ect. may be unplugged for a few days. So, if the updates stop for a little bit, that's why.

Tara posted on her message board tonight. She replied to a topic/article that had incorrect information, so she cleared everything up. You can read the topic here, scroll down.
Jacyln's Tara Autograph
From Jacyln Ruth: "I was one of the winners of the contest on Tara's website. Today I was so excited to received the autographed picture in the mail. It's pretty big, almost the standard paper size. I scanned it along with the letter that came with it. It's the best scan I get so far so I hope it comes out. The address is the Thumbs Up Enterprises address in Sugar Land."
I've added the scans to the fan collections page.
New PicturesThere are some new photos from Tara's birthday in Kiawah (directly from Tara's digital camera) at TaraLipinski.com. Be sure to check them out, they are adorable!

Tara SightingFrom Liza Anne: "I work at an ice cream store on Kiawah and Tara came in yesterday (June 9). I wanted to talk to her so badly but my boss wouldn't let me. I was going to ask how long she was staying etc., but I have to be professional. She looked so beautiful though!"

Happy Birthday TaraToday is Tara's 23rd birthday! Happy birthday Tara, have a great one!
Birthday GiftsIntuition is officially worthless (I've orded from them before, this is the first time I've had problems) and I never recieved the necklace (after re-ordering it, twice). I even got charged for the necklace. I'm working on fixing that issue, but whatever. So instead, I bought Tara a pair of dark vintage True Religion jeans, plus the personalized autograph from Sandra Bullock. I'm working on getting this pink roses painting restored, so hopefully I'll be able to send her that later this summer.

Photo Gallery DownAs you may have noticed, the photo gallery is completely messed up. I have NO clue what happened, because I have not done anything to it. I am going to try and find someone who could maybe figure out whats wrong, so if you know anyone good with php or 4images, PLEASE e-mail me. Hopefully it will be back up and running soon, but I honestly have no idea when because I don't know how to fix whatever is wrong with it. Sorry guys!
'Metro Chase Review'I know its not June 1st yet, but I am posting it as tomorrows update anyway. Sarah sent me a review of 'The Metro Chase' which is definitely worth reading. The DVD comes out on June 28.
"I recieved my copy of "Metro Chase" today, I'm going to give an honest review of it. I'm also having trouble getting it to work in my DVD player since it was dubbed on to a recordable DVD disk. I've seen the whole thing and it is ok, there is no surprise to me as to why it didn't get a theatrical release, but I"m am surprised it hasn't been released at all sooner. The film does lack a bit in dialoug and acting skills, but this was a lot of the casts first films so I guess that was unavoidable. Overall the film is pretty simple and is for sure a family film there is nothing in here that is unappropriate for children to view. The highlights of the film to me where Jon Cryer's performance as Mr. Stamm, he did a really great job, but he is the most accomplished actor in the film so it is to be expected. I thought Lindsay Felton did a really great job, she is a good actress, and she didn't have a bad moment in the film. Tara's part in the film was very good, I'm impressed. She is a comic relief along with Jason Padgett, and the two of them together were great. They play a couple and they had pretty good chemistry together. I think Tara's acting in this performance was better then that of 7th Heaven. The best parts with Tara and Jason would be the carousel scene and the hotel scene. You'll understand when you see. Also I didn't see Erin in the cauousel scene but you can see a pair of legs inside one of the seats so I'm assuming that's her. It's a good film and I'm sure fans will enjoy seeing it. I would honestly give it a 2 1/2 out of five. It is rough in some scenes and almost seems like a PBS film, I"m not sure if that has to do with the post production. And as I said the acting could use so improvements mainly Chirstopher Plumley and John Hooper. Overall you will all enjoy soon!"
