Hannah Montana haters I get weird looks from people when I tell them that the “Hannah Montana” movie was good. Stop looking at me that way! Yeah, it’s a Disney movie, but do you know how many adults watch Disney movies? “Hannah Montana” might not be “Cinderella” or “Beauty and the Beast,” but at least [...]

SGA survey I applaud the Student Government Association for getting out in the quad on Thursday and bribing students with hamburgers and hot dogs to fill out surveys about the organization.  On the same day that my opinion piece came out about how they needed to better promote themselves, they go and do it. Plus, the [...]

A TMZ photographer filed a complaint with New York police last Wednesday after actor             Woody Harrelson attacked him. The funny part?

Have you ever known someone who has been on a reality show? If you’ve been at VSU for the past few years, you may now know one.

Keith Urban kicked off his “Escape Together,” world tour with a show that will stay in the minds of the fans that experienced it for years to come.
The show, which also kicked off Wild Adventures yearly concert series, was strictly a Keith Urban show. There was no unknown opening act and Urban performed for almost two hours to a sold-out crowd.

Karah-Leigh Hancock Editor-in-Chief kphancoc@valdosta.edu What would have been a great April Fool’s Day joke has now turned into a waiting game between VSU-TV and Mediacom Cable Company. VSU-TV was originally due to move from Channel 11 to  Channel 20 on April 1 as a result of Federal Communications Committee pressure because the channel is not [...]

Did you hear the joke about the chicken that didn’t quite make it across the road? He became the main course on the Roadkill Café menu.
