Celebrity Honesty

Earlier this week, I was browsing the magazine rack at the drugstore my mom had dragged me to when I saw a headline that made me stop. Usually I couldn't care less about those teen magazines - you know the kind. The kind where they put about a dozen stars on the cover instead of just sticking to one like any normal magazine would - this headline, however, really caught my interest.
Below a picture of my favorite pop/country music star it said:

How Taylor broke girl code & kept her friend.
"Never be afraid to be honest"

I picked up the magazine, and after a quick skim of the article I decided to buy the magazine so I could write a proper post about it.

According to the article in Twist Selena Gomez, star of Wizards of Waverly Place, was dating Taylor Lautner early this summer, before braking up with him in June. Taylor Swift then met him in July while filming Valentines Day, and realized right away that they liked each other.
Taylor Swift, however, is good friends with Selena Gomez, which, I think we all know, could cause a problem. After all, everybody says never to date your friend's ex.

"The same day Tay S. tweeted about meeting Taylor L, she also tweeted, 'Just had the most hilarious night-walk ever with Selena. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.' Instead of going behind Selena's back and flirting with her ex, Taylor put her friendship first and had girl-talk time with Selena. Although the girls respect their friendship and aren't revealing the details of the conversation, we're certain Taylor was completely open and honest the minute she realized she had feelings for Taylor L, because telling the truth is Taylor's #1 priority when it comes
to her friendships. 'I don't think you should ever be afraid of honesty and of being honest that you're not perfect.'"

I think this is just awesome - especially since Taylor Swift also mentioned that she doesn't date
around much, unless she meets "somebody who's great," and also said that she's been single most of her life.

I'm planing on writing a chapter about honesty in Two Are Better Than One, and I think this is houbouring those feelings, which not good for you, or your friendship.

I'm not sure if Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are Christians or not - I've seen people online who have said they are. Though I'm inclined to agree with them, however, I can't say for certain - but I do think that, whether they are or not, in this instant they are a great example of how sisters in Christ should behave.
