“Could it be true?” writes the official Archie comic site,  ”Has Archie finally decided to take the plunge and propose to comics’ favorite rich girl?  It sure looks that way!”

Announced early yesterday morning with a blog post, the Archie team called the upcoming 6 part story line - which takes a look at the future for Archie and his friends as they graduate college and enter “the real world” - “The Archie story of the Century”.

No more love triangle?

And I think it just might be!

I grew up reading Archie comics - and I’ll even admit it, I own a pretty sweet “Veronica” shirt (um, that I bought maybe 3 years ago?).

Back in ‘94, there was a story line that advertised Archie would FINALLY pick between Betty and Veronica - and it surprised everyone when he picked Cheryl Blossom! That relationship eventually ended though, and the Betty/Veronica/Archie love triangle continued for another, oh, 15 years?

But as much as I love the rich brunette, I’ve also always had a soft spot for the blond Betty (who, by the way, according to the three males I asked is the preferred choice of the two). Regardless of which girl I (or any of my friends) might like better, there is one important thing I’d like to make clear: Archie isn’t allowed to CHOOSE between the two!

Well, technically I guess he is - but, I mean, I’ve been following Archie comics (and this love triangle) since I was, like, eight - and it feels so weird that it’s finally coming to an end… although I’m sure there’s going to be a few twists along the way. 

The first part of the series hits comic book store shelves August 19th (and there’s one down the street from me - looks like I might have to actually set foot it in), but if you don’t have one near you, you can pick it up from news stands September 1st.

The Jonas Brothers have a new song out and reportedly it’s taking a dig at country music star Taylor Swift.

Oh noes!

According to Starpulse, the JoBros new single Paranoid talks about how he’s like, so, totally, done with his ex.

One of my favourite songs by Swift (and yes, this blog is a little bias) is titled Forever and Alwaysand was written about her heartbreak over Joe Jonas dumping her via an under-30-second phone call. Really, Joe? I mean, I know you’re famous and all, but any guy who cheaps out and dumps a girl so quickly (and over the phone?) deserves to have a song written about them. And for the record, Swift’s song was neither nasty nor malicious - which is more than I can say about the Jonas’ song.

A sample of lyrics from Forever and Always:  

“You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me, Were you just kidding ’cause it seems to me this thing is breaking down, we almost never speak, I don’t feel welcome anymore… You feel so low you can’t feel nothing at all, and you flashback to when he said Forever and Always.”

I think the worst she does is refer to the boy she’s referring to as a “scared little boy”.

The Jonas song, on the other hand? Ouch!

“Can’t hear the thoughts inside my head, I’m still freaking out  - that’s why my ex is still my ex, I never trust a word she says, I’m running all the background checks, and she’s freaking out… Caught in a nightmare and I can’t wake up”

Sigh. I’m all for letting it out through your songs - but to write something so nasty, and so long AFTER the incident? Swift wrote Forever and Always almost immediately after the October 2008 break up, and it was on her album that came out at the end of November.

Someone should perhaps point out to Joe Jonas that it’s been, um, 7 months since the break up - and since he initiated it - he should be well over it by now, not writing songs slamming his ex girlfriend - really classy, right?

I’m sure he’ll regret it in a few years anyways - when he’s just a faded memory of a boy band (anyone remember the Hanson brothers?) and Swift is still rocking country stages.
