3 Capt's Quit 'Deadliest Catch'


Captains Andy and Jonathan Hillstrand and Captain Sig Hansen just announced that all three of them are leaving the show 'Deadliest Catch'. This announcement comes in the wake of the lawsuit between Discovery and the Hillstrand brothers. They are being sued for $3 million for breach of contract, and in support of the Hillstrands, Capt Sig is backing out too.

Including Capt. Phil who passed earlier this year, that makes 4 great parts of the show gone, it will never be the same and I doubt I will watch it anymore if the show continues.

Katy Perry Success With Songs Not With Album

Katy Perry has been a huge success with her chart topping songs like 'I kissed a girl' and 'California gurls' and her current single called 'Teenage dream' which hit the charts at #1. However her success with album sales has not been as good. Her newest album called 'Teenage Dream' was anticipated to be a huge success, but it isn't. Even though her songs are very popular, album sales are way down.
So why the bad luck? There were a couple of things working against her...her album was released too late (after California Gurls made it big) and because more people are choosing to buy their music one song at a time.
So do your part to help Katy perry... buy her album :)
