            “Lindsay Lohan Caught Drinking on Video.” Every artist has the right to do anything they want, but reporters always caught them, especially when doing bad things. Celebrities’ bad behavior is covered more in the news stories than their positive behavior because it gets the reader’s attention, the magazines get more money, and these news are more interesting than the good news.

The score that i give to Flipbook is a 9. I am using a scale from 1-5.I give a 5 on simplicity because its simple and also it is easy to use. I give themes a 4 because you could add things to it.  I give a 0 to music  because Flipbook doesn't have music. I dont really like Flipbook because it doesnt really show about music. The things that i like about Flipbook is the Simplicty and Themes. The things i like about Flipbook is Simplicty and Themes because it really explains about it and the Themes it shows many themes and  it helps you with the things that you want to put in your thing.                                                                                                                                                                                          On Clip Generator my total was 12. I am using a scale from 1-5. On simplicity i put a score of 3 because  it doesn't really show how to edit. On themes i put a 2 because it doesn't really show how and doesn't have many themes on it. On Music i put a 5 because on Clip generator it really shows about music.I like more Clip Generator then Flipbook because on clip generator you could do music but you cant the simplicty or themes.                                                                                                     I choose Clip generator because it has the music i want and not the themes  and simplicity. On clip generator it doesn't have like themes or simplicity and it has all the music that i want. On simplicity it doesn't have what i need and also with the themes it doesn't have all the themes that i want.
