YakkityYaks is looking for DEVOTED and EXCITED fans of TV, Movies, Music and Entertainment to join our team! As shows like American Idol, The Voice, and more are around the corner, we want to extend an invitation to our readers to join our writing team. Our only requirement is that you love entertainment and love the Yak! If there is a television show or themed column you’d like to helm, please Contact Us or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter to let us know of your interest!

We promise … you’ll love what you do. Just talk to our newest contributor, PJ Williamson (@pj_williamson), who is currently our Once Upon a Time correspondent with more plans for his Yak future! Don’t hesitate to ask us any questions.

Ready … Set … YAK!

If you haven’t been to the Forum in awhile, or ever for that matter, well then you are missing out on sharing your opinions with us! Not only do we discuss every Reality Show you love and become Big Brother Central in the Summer, but we also discuss current events, Holidays, Movies, TV Shows and more!

We also however have a special section that we can debate (Argue) some more controversial issues. Currently, we are discussing how Hollywood seems to have a double-standard. How celebrities seem to be able to get away with things that the otherwise normal person, like you, can’t.

One of our members mentions Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Chris Brown, Michael Jackson, OJ, Lindsay Lohan… Saying the former three are abusers, Jackson of course with the child molestation, and well, you know the deal on the latter two.

Another member says “If you have fame and money, you can sleep with children, kill your wife, bite your girlfriend, etc. All of that is socially acceptable here. But if you even THINK about lighting a cigarette, it’s the end of the world; never to be forgotten or forgiven.”

Another one of our members feels that Celebrities are like Gods, and should be able to live the double standard.

I will not take sides out here, but sides are definitely being drawn in there. CLICK HERE to make your voice heard! You can post as a guest, or register for FREE to receive all the benefits of being one of our members! Plus, you can help out the one side, or the other, to try and win this argument!

That’s right folks! It’s the Yak’s Birthday!  2nd Birthday to be exact!  Time to celebrate!

Leave your b-day well wishes below or in the FORUM!

Yakksters, 2009 is coming to a close. As we end this decade and enter the next, we wanted to take a minute to look back at the year and all it’s ups, downs, and in-betweens. Our ’09 Polls are now up and we want to make sure we get everyone’s input on the good, bad, and the ugly of 2009. What was the best song of ’09? What about the worst? Which celebrity did you care about the most? Which one do you want to hear no more about? Which Reality star deserved to win? or lose? Come on in to our forums and be sure to share your thoughts! Polls close mid-afternoon EST on December 31st, 2009, so come vote now!

Yakksters, the Yak will be turning One year old on Saturday, October 10th! In the past year, we’ve had more than 100,000 posts, nearly 250 members, and countless memorable moments. If you’re not a part of the Yak, there’s no better time to join in on the fun! On behalf of the YakkityYaks staff, we’d like to thank ALL of our members for being a part of our inaugural year on the world wide web! Happy Birthday YakkityYaks and here’s to many more!

On another note, our very own co-leader Ahrean will be reprising her role as the Big Brother transcriber, as Kevin and Lydia chat LIVE with RealSuperpass on Thursday, October 15. Be sure to join us for what promises to be a revealing interview.

Yakksters! Get ready … we’re nearing our 1st Birthday & the Yak’s celebrating in style! Are you a fan of Big Brother and Survivor ? Do you sometimes wish you could participate in a game for a big prize where you could make alliances, lie, back-stab and cheat your way to victory? If the answer is an emphatic YES to both questions. Then we got a game for you.

Join our very own member DarthSethius as we celebrate a year dominating the WWW! Click here for more info & be sure to register to join in on the fun!

A very good friend of mine has a young daughter with Leukemia.  On Sunday, August 9th, from 8am – 1pm, there will be a bone marrow drive in her honor at American Martyrs in Manhattan Beach California.

American Martyrs
624 Fifteenth Street
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

There will be another drive in her honor at the end of August at Kaiser Permanente in Woodland Hills.

If you are in the neighborhood, or plan to be, PLEASE consider becoming a donor.

Also, please go here to read Allison’s story.  It will most definitely touch your heart.

Team Allison

Now I know most of you do not live in the vicinity at all, but you can still help. You can go to the National Marrow Donor Program, and register, wherever you may be. Donating Marrow isn’t what it used to be, and is not nearly as invasive as it once was (not as painful)… please check it out.

And please read about Allison… She is truly a little angel.

The end of Reality TV, at least for the moment, is on the horizon. We have already lost Amazing Race, American Idol is about down to two with it’s finale next week, and tomorrow night, we see the close of America’s Next Top Model. I’m still hoping for the Teyona win!! It all is very very sad. No Reality TV, Prime Time going into hiatus… re-runs galore. The saving grace of it all? Well, Big Brother of course! We get to look forward to gossip and rumors about Big Brother slowly coming out, the reveal of the new BB cast, kids out for summer so we can all stay up late watching the feeds… (sleep only when the hamsters do!) We also have the greatest members still chatting it up about everything in the forum, and of course, the arcade… So come on in, sit back, and chill for a bit! Summer is upon us, the living is supposed to be easy remember?

We have winners of our First Annual YakkityYaks Personality Awards, head on in to the forums to find out who took which title!

Yes, I know it’s been awhile, and we are working hard at getting this place cleaned up and running smooth. Soon to come, new bloggers, new updates, and loads of other new stuff. All the favorite Reality Shows are represented here, as well as our favorite music and other TV shows. We even discuss (nicely most of the time) politics, religion, and other fiddle faddle. Bookmark us, and don’t forget to visit our forum! If you haven’t yet done so, get on over and register. We have loads of people waiting to yell at you. Just kidding It’s fun though!! Oh and we need some new recruits in the arcade. Can’t let Terpkings ALWAYS be the leader, can we?
