Shalom Degrassi-lings!

Newsflash, people – guns don’t solve problems, they create them!!!!

A hold up at the Dot??? I’m glad everyone got out safely. We only have one person to thank for things turning out so well – our Holly J. Speaking of today’s heroine, I have a head scratcher for you: does drama follow that girl or does she create it? This year’s been quite a roller coaster ride for her. Weeks ago she told everyone about Mia’s x-rated escapades and now she’s saving lives. Just when you thought you knew someone… As a tribute to Holly J, I’m gonna try harder to see the good in everyone. Here’s hoping people surprise me…

Okay, time to step down from my pulpit and do what I do best – share gossip.

Guess turbulent times reminds everyone to reevaluate what’s really important.

Spotted: Mia and Peter holding each other tight outside The Dot.

Spotted: Holly J and Blue sharing a slow dance.

Overheard: Clare and KC, finally kissed and made up. What do y’all think? Do they have the makings of an epic couple. Oh, and while you’re thinking about that, what other Degrassi couples have the power to make it through the year?

1. Peter and Mia – Most likely. Neither could find better looking smooching partners.
2. Alli and Johnny -- Outlook good. Obviously Alli is blind to be dating Johnny, so it must be true love.
3. Holly J and Blue – Cannot predict now. There just isn’t enough date.
4. Spinner and Jane – Don’t count on it. Why, you ask? Sometimes you just need to trust your gut.

Oh, and did you hear Jason Mewes is dropping by Degrassi to do auditions for his latest film “Mewsical High”? They’re looking for a leading lady and I’m pretty sure I’ve got what it takes. Who do you guys think should snag the leading role? Rumor has it some alums will be dropping by to audition. Wonder who will show?

Until, next time…

Tag Degrassi-lings,

I know, I know… I should be studying for exams. But girl a needs a break!

OFFICIAL REPORT: Mia Jones is back at Degrassi. She dropped out for a whole 2.5 seconds. Time to celebrate her triumphant return with… more studying!

Exam week + course registration = crazy people.

Crazy #1: Mia suddenly decided she wanted to be a (wait for it…) Marine Biologist!

Not that I don’t think she could do it… it just came out of nowhere. Besides, she’s already a successful model.

Crazy # 2: Holly J stomped out some fugly art on the front steps at school. I’ve never seen her lose control like that! Will she even pass art after her explosive run-in with Dawes? Thought showdowns like that only happened on America’s Next Top Model. Oh, and Holly J was spotted procrastinating with yummy yummy Blue, lights off, in the art room. I know all about that romantic art stuff, we’ve all seen Titanic.

Crazy #3: Sav practicing the trumpet in the boys’ bathroom during lunch. Trying to impress Anya with his brass instrument skills?

I’m off to the bulk bin for some much needed study snacks. I’m obsessed with making my own mix! Chocolate malt balls, cinnamon lips, and gummy bears are my top picks. What’s your ultimate study snack?

Check in here on your study breaks (remember, 15 minutes every 2 hours!).

Study hard. And good luck!

Aloha Degrassi-lings,

Say it ain’t so!!!! Degrassi power couple, Mia and Peter, are no more. Turns out, Peter has been racking up the long distance minutes talking to Darcy in Kenya. Peter, Peter, Peter… The problem isn’t that you were talking to your ex-girlfriend; it’s that you let your current girlfriend catch you. Next time, lie. And when that doesn’t work, lie harder. Also, telling Mia that you will “probably always love Darcy” was not a smooth move. What were you thinking????

Oh and Peter, If you’re looking for a shoulder to cry on, find me. I promise, it’ll be waaaaay more comfortable than Darcy’s. Besides Africa is sooooooooooo hot.

Speaking of hot, did anyone check out that party at the ravine? I dropped by but left when I realized there was no outdoor plumbing. A party is not a party without running water and a toilet that flushes. Before I left, I spotted two tenners heading off for some private time in a run down van. Who are these kids? And why must they rush into things? Come on people, this isn’t the Upper East Side.

Ooh, someone just sent me intel on those grade tens. Turns out, they’re not new, I just haven’t noticed them until now. (I can’t keep track of everyone at Degrassi.)

Name: Reese
Age: 15
Hobbies: Basketball, snide remarks

Name: Grace
Age: 15
Hobbies: Hanging with Reese (girl needs to get some new hobbies)

Oh, and anyone see Alli breakup and then makeup with Johnny? What’s going on there? I don’t understand what Alli sees in that guy. He’s such a dirty boy. Ewwwwwww.

Until, next time…

Talofa Degrassi-lings

Got some seriously good and hilarious info from Smithdale this week. Remember good girl Emma Nelson? Daughter of Snake? Dater of sexy soldier Sean Cameron? Protester of all things that are mildly agitating?

 

From what I'm hearing, she really let her hair down at university (and it looks like she dyed it, too!). Allegedly, she baked weed into brownies and distributed them at a floor party. Sources ( i.e. a tonne of pictures posted on her MyRoom page) say that the party got a little out of hand:




Exhibit A:
 

Exhibit B:

And as if this isn't proof enough, word on the street is that she even got her roommate/loverboy/hottie, Kelly (that's him in the second pic), kicked out of rez. And that's why The Anti-Grapevine never touches the green stuff. I rest my case.




Meanwhile back at the ranch - er, Degrassi - there was some hallway gunslinging. I'm hearing that in a little altercation between that annoyance Reese and total grade nine sweetie KC, some secrets were revealed about KC's past. Did y'all know he lives in a group home? And that he committed some serious crimes to get in there? I know! I wouldn't have believed it either if it weren't for KC stepping to Reese after the confrontation began.





Well, I still think he's cute and y'all shouldn't be such judgers. Maybe he wants to be good! He can carry my books any day.

 

Until Next Time, Keep On Keepin’ It Real,

Mabuhay! Degrassikins,

The Alumni game was a total disappointment. I can't believe we lost. Just when I think the Panthers are actually getting good, they go and get beat by a bunch of old men with beer guts and bum knees.  Maybe it was their ladies -- so great to see Liberty back at Degrassi.

 

And speaking of football ladies, where was our star wide receiver? Jane was AWOL during the game, and with her skeezy brother raining down touchdowns like a storm, we didn't stand a chance.

 

If you see Jane, though, don't be mad. Girl needs a hug. Something is seriously wrong with her. Check out this before and after comparison:

   

And in other Before/After news, check out these pictures of Little Edwards:

   

Can you believe this transformation? She's fast becoming the hottest girl in grade nine, which is made even easier by this:

 

Yikes! Nuff said.

 

Until next time, May all your Afters look better than your Befores,

Namaste Degrassi-lings,

I bumped into Jane this morning and she looked like she slept in a dumpster. Doesn’t she know that tomorrow’s the Alumni Football Game and we need to show those past alums that today’s Degrassi students are better looking than ever? That means good grooming, people!!!

And why’s Lucas roaming the halls again? I thought he was finally off fulfilling his destiny as Mafia hit man. What am I saying? I bet the Mafia has waaaaaay higher standards for their thugs. Lucas better get back to high school soon. No one gets ahead without a high school diploma today; not even in the underworld.

Enough about the Vaughn/Vallieri/Whatever-They-Call-Themselves clan. Time to focus on more important people. Yes, I mean Power Squadders. Who else????

World on the street is that the pretty people had themselves a co-ed sleepover. Two questions? What were the sleeping arrangements? And how much sleep was actually involved? I’m oh-so-close to getting the 4-1-1. Stay tuned...

Oh, and don’t worry, I was on the invite list. I just have more important things to do with my time. What you ask? That’s for me to know and you to never find out.

But since I missed out on some of the sleepover games, I’ll play one here:

True or false – Peter hearts Darcy more than he hearts Mia.
True or false – Leia lied about attending ballet school.
True or false – Sav’s little sister’s getting very close Johnny Di Marco.
(Hint: 2 out of 3 are true, true, true…)

SLEEPOVER UPDATE: Girls slept in one room and boys in the other. Can we say snoozefest? And despite the single sex sleep arrangements, no one got any shut-eye because Sav kept everyone up with his oh-so-loud snores. Eek!!!!

Time to jump into my jamies and watch “Pretty in Pink”. Until, next time…

Avete Degrassi,

I come to you, humbled. Things got serious, this week.

 

We finally took down Holly J by banding together and using Facerange. We made her cry and stay home sick with our clever barbs and hilarious insults. She even threatened to transfer schools. All the things we always dreamed of, right? So I should be happy, right? Right?

 

But instead I feel terrible. We basically ruined her life. I never thought I'd say this, but I was actually happy when she showed up at school today and decided not to transfer.

 

And I don't know what to do about this blog, either. Does my gossip hurt people? I seldom spare the sass in my comments. Maybe I need to tone it down…

I think I’ll take the week to think about it.

 

Until next time, please be kind,

Your one and only,
The Anti-Grapevine

Jambo Degrassi-lings,

Such a commotion this week! Breakups, make ups and protests. It’s like I fell asleep and woke up in the Summer of Love (FYI – that was 1967, kids). I wish someone had warned me ‘cuz I would have worn my new Hudson bellbottoms.

That was quite a protest, huh? (If you haven't seen it, spin up the video below.) I haven’t been so moved since Step Up 2: The Streets. Darcy’s little sister might be a niner, but she’s got some serious guts to stand up to The Shep like that. And that Shep. What dirty language! My mother would wash my mouth out with soap if I ever uttered filth like that in public. So what do you guys think? Was the school too hard on Principal Sheppard? And how do you feel about Connor now that you know what’s wrong with him? Poor kid. Everyone teasing him about being weird when he’s got a condition. Kids can be so mean…

So this whole protest got me thinking about bullies and how they suck with a capital S. With The Shep gone, who do y’all think are the biggest bullies left @ Degrassi? For me, it’s between Holly J and Derek. I wonder who’d win in a cage match. My money’s on Holly J. I don’t think anyone could take down that girl.

And finally, who thinks Sav and Anya should get hitched? They are beyond cute. But if it’s going to last, Sav will have to work on his gift giving. A knife and fork? So not a girl’s best friend. We need serious BLING. Preferably, with a several carats attached. Oh, don’t judge. I’m not a material girl. I just tell it as it is, boys.

So Shep’s off to sensitivity training and I’m off for some granola and Grateful Dead! Until next time, peace out.

Your one and only, The Anti-Grapevine.

OMG! The Shep gives, and The Shep gets, in a big way!!!

Konichiwa Degrassi-lings

What goes up, must come down.

I’m talking about hottie turned naughty, Riley. One minute he’s the Panthers’ hero, the next he’s head-butting Savvy. Why would Riley do such a thing?

I’m even more curious about how Riley went from being the team’s slowest athlete, to its fastest. Did some radioactive cheetah bite him during one of his runs in the ravine? That’s it! My Spidey sense tells me he’s suddenly genetically advanced a la Heroes. Just remember Riley – use your powers for good. Don’t go all Dark Phoenix* on us.

Hey, I want a superpower, too! The ability to read people’s minds. Not that I don’t kinda have that already. Hmm… I wonder what superpowers other Degrassi students could use…

Mia - Flight. From school, to photo shoots, to picking up Izzy. Girl needs that power.

Peter - X-Ray vision. That way he wouldn’t have had to get Manny to flash him. Creep. But the cutest creep ever…

What superpowers do you think Anya, Sav and Danny would have?

Ponder on that while I get to bed. Have to wake up early tomorrow to watch Leia’s early morning “dancing” in the gym. If I’m lucky, I might snap a picture of Lanny plié-ing.

On, and anyone notice how reluctant The Shep was to suspend Riley? That principal is T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Hope someone puts him in his place soon.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…
The Anti Grapevine.
