MFW S/S '12 report: Gucci
The Grazia team's first show of Milan fashion week, and already all red carpet dressing for the next six months is sorted! Gucci turned to the glamour and decadence of the 20s with their art deco inspired collection. And nobody does decadence quite like Gucci. Unlike the more voluminous silhouettes we saw in London, Gucci's were long and lean - think skyscrapers - but again the emphasis fell away from the waist. It was a meeting of two extremes, the tailored cropped and collarless jackets and high-waisted peg trousers, had a sense of uniform about them, while the early dropped-waist panelled dresses were ultra feminine and subtly sexy - high-necked and prim from the front, then as the model turned, dangerously but fabulously backless.
But it was the finale of ten dresses that will be what defines Gucci in S/S '12. A parade of beaded, fringed and embellished flapper numbers in gold, silver, black and white were the perfect punctuation for the inspiration, an creative director Frida knew that the dresses spoke for themselves and needed little in way of accessories (apart from the gorgeous metallic detailed shoes, and of course some seriously covetable bags) You can guarantee already that you will see these dresses again and again on the covers of monthlies come February.
'We'll need to have a 20s party!' said the pr as we were leaving - and we imagine it would even leave Gatsby's soirees in the shade.

A lot of people are still steaming over last week's announcement that Netflix would soon be changing its plans, as well as its pricing.
We've seen a ton of unhappy customers over the past few days. Some say they plan to cancel accounts, drop services, or just go elsewhere for that movie fix. Before you think about jumping the S.S. Netflix, know what the plan change will mean to your monthly bill.
As of September 1, 2011, all of the current Netflix plans will change. The plans that previously offered unlimited streaming and either one DVD or two DVDs out at a time will be no more. The idea is to branch the plans out. If you want to stream content and still get a physical disc, you're going to have to pay extra. Below is a breakdown of the new Netflix plans. All prices listed are per month. Just remember to add $2 if you want to add Blu-ray into the equation (thanks Sean!)...
If you aren't sure whether you want to continue with Netflix or at least your current program, there are alternatives. View the slideshow to look at nine other options.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

neat product grand son wants to get more resitant traing, staff was very helpful December 10, 2012
Bad quality Used this about 15 minutes after buying it and it ripped running down the road. There was no warning about road use and i am very dissapointed it the results. However, when it was working i could feel the resistance. Hopefully this problem will be solved. November 23, 2012
Offers great results This product works best when equipped with other SKLZ products and hard work (along with different drills). Resistance is very noticeable by both the users of the product and viewers (anyone watching you use it). After a workout you'll notice that even 15mins past you will still feel as if you are wearing the speed chute when you walk. I have definitely gotten much faster in only a single month!!!

love it works realy good has inproved my speed big time June 25, 2012

Genealogical Relations with Libraries
Most libraries have genealogical materials in their collections. The questions are: Should there be a separate genealogical collection? How large should it be? What should it contain? What should a genealogical society's role be in its development, growth, preservation, and the reference service for it?
Answers to these questions and additional ideas are presented in this paper.
Libraries set their own service objectives or collection development policies.
A society's objective should be to see that there are genealogical materials available in a local library to assist the genealogists of the local community, surrounding communities or service areas. The society should also ensure public access to additional genealogical materials that may be provided by other libraries through interlibrary loan.
Types of Libraries
City, county, and regional public libraries are not the only libraries that may be interested in expanding their genealogical holdings. There are also historical societies and college and university libraries (tax supported, private, denominational and secular) to consider.
Local history, local biography and local genealogy are inseparable. Many public libraries have fine collections in regard to these three subjects. Some county histories, biographies and genealogies may need to be selected and acquired through a correlated effort by the libraries of a county or a region. If permitted, societies could help with this correlation. Members could prepare a union catalog of genealogical holdings for libraries without online catalogs.
No library can collect all these same types of materials that relate to their patrons' ancestors from other communities throughout the world. Therefore, interlibrary loans and referrals are very necessary. Fortunately, the Internet and Web sites for family genealogists can help, as long as the researcher obtains documentation for information thus acquired.
Physical needs
Space: If a society requests a separate section, area, or a room for the genealogical collection in a library, then it may be necessary for them to raise the funds for its construction, furnishings, and maintenance. Under such an agreement the library could also ask the society for funds for staffing such a facility, as well as requesting an endowment. 0f course, very few societies could afford any such requirements.
Security: Special sections, areas, rooms, locked cases, and other security devices are the jurisdiction of the library and should not be suggested or demanded by societies.
Library Volunteers
Reference Service: Assisting genealogists with their research in a library is part reference, part referral, and part tutorial.[1]
Reference: Librarians are trained to interview patrons to determine their needs and then refer them to the appropriate tools. In many cases they help patrons find answers, as well as teaching them how to use the library and the reference materials recommended. In libraries where the librarians are also trained or experienced in genealogical research, librarians may not wish to relinquish all of the interviewing, teaching, and advising to genealogist volunteers.
When the library requests or allows a society to have genealogist volunteers provide all or some of the reference services concerning genealogy, the society's volunteers have an obligation to learn as much as possible of the reference skills that are required of a librarian to serve the genealogy patrons.
Referrals: For recommending additional libraries, archives, agencies and services, volunteers need to know where these places are and what they have and can do for genealogists. For example, know the reference tools that contain addresses, know what the services and holdings are of the nearest Family History Center, and be able to identify other libraries and archives of the area with materials of use to genealogists.
Tutorials: Tutoring for genealogical research generally includes helping patrons to fill out pedigree charts and family group records, and to learn how to use various research tools and equipment. It may also include assisting a patron with the reading of difficult parts of a record and interpreting contents of records.
Library Policy for Volunteers: Society volunteers must adhere to the library policies concerning library volunteers and must know the emergency procedures of the library.
Library Liability Policy: Many libraries have a standard liability policy for volunteers, and genealogical societies should make sure that all of their volunteers are protected by it.
Training: Some libraries offer and require a general volunteer training program. A few libraries may also have a special training program for genealogical volunteers. Nevertheless, the society should have its own program to augment any library training.
Badges: Society volunteers should wear a badge stating that they are volunteers.
Library Projects
All society projects planned and intended for the library should meet with the approval of the librarian in charge of the genealogical collection and its services.
The following are project examples:
- Survey society members and library genealogical patrons concerning their research interests and needs.
- Determine what the prominent national and ethnic groups of the library's community are and offer suggestions to the collection development librarian as to the genealogical reference materials that may assist these groups.
- If permitted, assist the librarian with (free, or for the cost of postage and photoduplication), the library's genealogical correspondence.
- Index the obituaries of the area newspapers.
- Create every–name indexes to city and county histories and federal censuses (and state censuses, if they exist).
- Abstract and create every–name indexes of vital records, probates, and land records.
- Compile tax lists and/or voter records for dates of genealogical value that are not covered by other records such as census schedules.
- Maintain a genealogical page(s) that is part of the library's Web site. Note: the library Web site should be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act[2] making the Web site easy to navigate, containing large print and few graphics.
The demands of the library Web site and general genealogical correspondence can be lightened with a society page and participation in the online GenWeb program available at USGenWeb. A society page or Web site should be linked to as many quality area sites as possible.
Fund Raising: The society may wish to conduct fund-raising projects to augment funds contributed from membership dues.[3] These funds could be contributed for the acquisition of genealogical materials.

All negotiations should be made with the library director or appropriate staff persons. Only at an impasse should a society approach the governing board, and not before informing the library director of such a plan.
Library Contracts
A formal contract, not just a "handshake" agreement, is advisable if a portion of a society's contributed funds will be expended for genealogical materials or other support of the library's genealogical collection. For an example of a contract, see footnote[4].
Possibility of Eviction
Occasionally, and usually because of the lack of space, some libraries have reduced, or asked societies to accept and remove the library's genealogical collection. A society may, through negotiation with the library director, convince a director to move a collection to a branch library, if it has any.
Retention Justification: One helpful evidence to defend keeping the genealogical collection may be statistics of the genealogical collection's use, including use by visiting genealogists and how they beneficially impact the economy of the community in which the library is located.
Another statistic that may help is to illustrate the number of genealogical volunteers who have aided the library, the hours served, and the longevity of some volunteers' service.
If negotiations with the library director are not successful, inform the director that the society will ask for negotiations with the library's governing board. In some cases, it may be useful to try to obtain the services of an independent arbitrator.
Another option is to ask other libraries if they would accept transfer of the genealogical collection. Possibilities are historical societies, college or university libraries, church libraries, adjacent counties' libraries, their genealogical societies or historical societies.
The final solution may be to create a society library. Be sure to consider the disadvantages, problems, and expenses related to this solution.[5]
Collection Development
The library sets its collection development policy and procedures. The books, articles, audio tapes, journals, and listserv shown below can assist in collection development. If the librarians of your library do not know of these tools, please bring them to their attention.

Guidelines: The American Library Association "Guidelines for Developing Beginning Genealogical Collections and Services" can help librarians with acquisitions for new and established collections. The Genealogy Committee of the History Section of the ALA prepared them.
Societies may wish to consult them for various reasons. One may be to learn the guideline recommendations of professional librarians and see how the society can help the library meet those guidelines. Also, if your librarians are not aware of these guidelines, please provide them with a copy.[6]
Gifts: Gifts should meet with the approval of the librarian concerned with collection development. Because the library can usually obtain greater discounts from publishers and library jobbers (wholesalers), gifts that would require ordering by a society would be better acquired by the library with donated funds.
Local Genealogical Society Publications: Local genealogical society publications (including newsletters) that relate to the library's service area should be donated to the local area libraries. Two gift copies of society published abstracts, indexes, etc. should be sent to the Library of Congress, Washington DC 20559 for their collection and for inclusion in national computer databases, unless they have already been sent to the Copyright Office.
Also, one gift copy should be sent to the Family History Library, 35 North West Temple Street, Salt Lake City UT 84150, with a letter of permission to microfilm the publication. This would make the publication available worldwide through the Family History Library's microfilm loan program for its Family History Centers.
Gift copies should also be sent to at least the major genealogical libraries located within the society's state.
Genealogical Journals, Quarterlies, etc.: Most libraries are happy to receive gift copies of magazines as long as they are of excellent quality and received regularly and timely.
Newsletters: The library may not wish to accept newsletters of non-area societies received by society subscription or exchange. Their addition to the library collection can be very labor intensive. As an alternative, the genealogical society could ask a member to organize the newsletters (either alphabetical by state or by region of the United States or international), and then bring them to the monthly meetings for member viewing.
Microfilmed Local Public Records Acquisitions: The society should encourage and assist the library in obtaining local records that have been microfilmed by various firms or the Family History Library, Salt Lake City (Genealogical Society of Utah). With a permission-to-do-so letter (usually from the county clerk), the Family History Library permits libraries to purchase their microfilmed local records. For their holdings consult the Family History Library Catalog, Locality Catalog at a Family History Center or online at <[http://www.familysearch.org http://www.familysearch.org[>.
The address and telephone number for this service is: Field Services Outside Sales, Family History Library, 50 East North Temple, Salt Lake City UT 84150; phone (801) 240-1290.
It is imperative that as much as possible of genealogical collections should be permitted to circulate on interlibrary loan.
Local genealogy and history materials should all be in duplicate copies, either purchased, photoduplicated, microfilmed or microfiched for circulation and for the preservation of materials that are heavily used, fragile or rare. These processes must be made within the provisions of the copyright laws or with written permission of authors or publishers.
At present most firms providing these services consider 1906 as a safe date for materials to be out of copyright. The date of 1906 is earlier than the law states, however, a copyright attorney should be consulted to evaluate each title considered for duplication.
The duplicate copies of materials in microform can also assist in their circulating on interlibrary loan, including census schedules and newspapers.
Interlibrary Loan: Societies should encourage libraries to circulate as many of their genealogical materials as possible to their local patrons and on interlibrary loan. Such circulation may necessitate the purchase of additional copies, a standard practice for other subjects in most libraries for titles in great demand or needed for both the reference collection and circulating collection. Societies could offer to fund the purchase of duplicate copies for circulation or, offer to fund the microfilming of rare and fragile materials.
Some libraries have developed self–defeating policies of non–circulation of genealogical materials, while requesting other libraries' genealogical materials for use via interlibrary loan. Societies should encourage librarians to make their genealogical collections become interlibrary loan lenders instead of borrowers.
Some libraries assume that because they interlibrary loan materials from their general collection (but not their genealogical materials) that they qualify to borrow genealogical materials on interlibrary loan from other libraries. Such attitudes do not follow the spirit of the "National Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States" (1994).[7]
If the cataloging of genealogical materials appears to be slow in some libraries, note that many genealogical titles do not appear in library computerized databases and therefore are not easy to catalog. Also, the addition of genealogy books is a minor part of the huge workload of a cataloging department.
Genealogists should not expect a library to classify and shelve books in alphabetical order by state. Neither the Dewey Decimal nor the Library of Congress classification schemes will permit such an arrangement; the schemes were developed long before all the states were admitted into the union.
Assistance in the library's preservation program may be helpful, part of which could be to invite the Family History Library to microfilm rare collections and indexes. Also, assistance may be welcome in the financing of microfilming materials not of interest to the Family History Library, such as newspapers and city and/or county directories.
The Genealogical Committee of the American Library Association has also prepared guidelines relative to the preservation of a library's genealogical materials.[8] Some catalogs of preservation materials and how to use them are Gaylord Archival Storage Materials & Conservation Supplies, telephone (800) 634-6307, Conservation Resources International, telephone (800) 634-6932), or Metal Edge International, telephone (215) 699-8755).
Digital storage of precious materials is not stable enough for adequate long–range preservation.[9] It cannot compare to the proven record of the longevity of microforms.
Libraries should be encouraged to offer on exchange to other libraries, library materials in excess of those necessary to support their patrons for circulation and interlibrary loan. An excellent source for this is through the services of Librarians Serving Genealogists' (LSG) GENEALIB electronic mailing list <firstname.lastname@example.com> (provide no subject. Type "subscribe genealib" and your first and last name in body of the message).
Group Research Trips
Societies planning group research trips to any of the popular genealogical and historical libraries should inquire of them when the best time for such a visit would be. Leaders of trips to the Family History Library should comply with the instructions in "Guidelines for Visiting Groups" from the Public Relations, Family History Library, 35 North West Temple Street, Salt Lake City UT 84150.
Genealogical societies should support their local library's genealogical holdings or collection within the bounds of the library's objectives, policies, and procedures.

Are seats together?
We expect listings of up to 2 tickets will be seated together. Please check the section and row details provided along with any additional comments from the seller's listing for further details.
If you are not able to buy 2 tickets from a listing of 3, this is just because the seller has selected the option not to have one ticket left, therefore its only possible to buy 1 or 3 tickets.
It is currently not possible to confirm the exact location of seats as this information may have not yet been released to the sellers. In many instances the seat numbers may not be available until the tickets have been issued and received by the seller. Please refer to the venue map for an approximate location of your tickets.
Please note that viagogo is an online marketplace. Sellers are asked to provide as much detail about their tickets as possible.

will be there when we really need the capital, we're pre-funding and shoring up our credit strategy. Also, in November we rolled out a business plan that minimizes reliance on access to new capital in 2009.
Fortnightly: How has counterparty credit risk changed for Duke's business?
George V. Brown, General Manager of Global Risk Management and Insurance, Duke Energy: There has been some increase in problem credits. Some of the customers in our service territory have experienced financial difficulties, and we have protections in place in our tariffs that enable us to ask for security from customers in this situation. We've been doing that in our service territories.
In the wholesale markets, we clear most of our transactions through an exchange clearinghouse, and that reduces counterparty credit risk. A lot of people are trying to do more of that these days. But there are parts of the business where that kind of clearing just isn't available. For example, we buy a lot of coal, and we have to deal with coal companies through bilateral transactions. Those companies have felt some of the pain, but they experienced very high prices at some points and so most of them aren't in terrible shape. They'll be able to weather the storm if it doesn't go on for too long. They've contracted for their product sales and they can contain their operating costs.
We're paying attention to our customer base, staying ahead of the headlines, and where we need to do so we're asking customers to provide security against receivables.
We don't have a lot of market risk. We don't have a lot of exposure to spot-market volatility, so we're not subject to the whims of short-term prices. We do have some off-system sales and wholesale trades that move with the price of power. That's down a bit from where it was in 2008, but it doesn't look like it will be a big fall. The entire energy complex has been coming down. Since we operate in a margin business, it hasn't had a huge impact on us at this point.
Fortnightly: How has the Wall Street meltdown affected your access to risk-management services from financial firms?
De May: There has been a reduction in liquidity generally, but it hasn't really affected us. We did have some transactions with Lehman. But because we don't do much trading and we don't have a proprietary trading business, it hasn't been a big deal for us. We tend to sell to other utilities or into RTOs.
Fortnightly: How do you anticipate the economic downturn will affect demand for energy commodities? How is this affecting your hedging activity and supply plans?
Brown: We anticipate with the downturn there will be reduced demand in the short term. We'll experience some problems with collections, but I don't know that it will have a big impact.
Utilities have a very long-term horizon, and at this point we don't see a material change in long-term residential demand growth for the company. There could be other changes that have a material impact on

With the resolution of many compact cameras having now jumped to 16MP, it is only a matter of time before they break the 20MP barrier possibly during this calendar year.
The question is why - who is actually driving the megapixel arms race with the this one goes up to 11 mentality? Are all consumers/users really demanding that all cameras must have ever higher megapixels, contrary to regular comment within the photography media on the usability of the excessive resolution per sensor size and its effect on image quality, and even advice from retailers that excessive megapixels are not ideal.
There seems an odd parallel with the demise of the viewfinder on compacts; with the manufacturers claiming people want this despite offering users with little or no option other than to purchase the functionality/features implemented by the manufacturers.

Tackling this one problem with automation would add years to my life ... but while we're at it here's more I'd love: 1) Whole-home audio: Baby Mozart in Eli's room, something motivating in the kitchen, a little Electronica in the morning to wake the family up; 2) Door locks - Why is it that you always lock your keys in the house on holidays when the Locksmith charges 3X the norm for house calls; 3) Video/Sat/DVD in the home theater and bedroom; and 4) Security controls & remote-video monitoring - my wife asks for this so she can check that the house is 'empty' before she comes home while I'm away on business. —Gregory, Calif.
I'd love to be able to call my A/C and cut it on when we come in from vacation or just to turn my lights on at night and off in the morning by a call, when we're gone. —Kara, Fla.
We have our home theater setup in our family room. So we need this room to be a mild-mannered Clark Kent family room during the day and then in a click of a button transform the family room into a Super hero family home theater ... with blinds to darken the room, lighting control to lower or turn off strategic lighting and to lower the thermostat. What's that? The front door doorbell? Then we want to check on the security cam to see what kryptonite is ringing the bell interrupting our family time together. And I need touchscreen interface for my Supergirl! —Preston, Fla.
I want my irrigation system to only run when it my yard needs it. The presets of M/W/F, 6 a.m., for 20 minutes in each zone, don't factor in mother nature. I find myself watching the late news to guess if I should turn the system off for the next morning. Some type of monitor in the yard that measures moisture and its depth (such as those used for indoor plants in pots) could send a signal to the system so it could automatically turn off. If that isn't possible, send an alert to my keypad that tells me to turn the system off. —Pam, Ky.
I have been hooked on audio/video and home automation since the first time I got a programmable remote. I set up my first home theater in my bedroom at my parents' house and never stopped dreaming about whole-house audio/video. Then I moved into my own place and got hooked onto a small X-10 lighting project. My fiance and I have just bought our first home which was built in the early 50's and it needs updating. My goal is to have one equipment closet to service each room in the house and have room for future upgrades. On top of all that I want to make the house green/energy saving as possible. My only problem is I cannot figure out home to control this system and keep it simple enough for my fiance. —Christopher, Md.
We are about to begin our dream house remodel project. We live in a rural community and the houses are really behind the home automation and networking curve. Since this is a house we plan on living in for 40 years this is our shot at setting it up to accommodate home technology for future needs. We want to control entertainment systems, lights, and temperature systems in a more efficient manner and also show friends and family the future of home technology. —Kyle, Minn.
Two adults, seven children, friends, relatives, etc. and one bathroom? Are you serious? At least let me control the traffic. Sound a discreet "buzz" when someone enters, a "ding" when they leave, and I won't have to get up and then stand in the hall and wait! Love ya all, Grandma! —Karen, Mo.
I would like to control all the speaker wires running all over my room. I don't have wireless speakers to my sound system and it's ALL out of control. —Kathy, Va.
I would like to have a touchscreen interface to control everything: lighting, HVAC, music, video, security and yard/garden watering. I have a large collection of music that is in FLAC and videos including Blu-ray that I would love to digitize and have available on any TV or stereo in the house with a push of the button. A system that could record and display data about the living conditions in the house and outside would also be desirable. Monitor the temperature and lighting in each room and adjust automatically if they are undesirable and the room is occupied. Allow the data that is collected to be viewed for any data range so that decisions about home energy costs could be made with all important data available. The security system control would ideally monitor any security camera in the house and automatically show a camera that detects anyone approaching the house on the touchscreen. Automatically water the yard and garden based on how much water the plants actually need by tapping into weather data. Finally, I would love it if the control system could also be set up to monitor my reef aquarium and send alerts when anything is out of the ordinary. —Jonathan, Fla.
I want to control how much electricity I use. I also want to know exactly which which outlets in the house that are using the most energy. If there was a central brain connected to the breaker box and each outlet had a specific IP address or something like that, then it could tell me which plug is using the most energy. Also, at night when none of the electronics are on, the brain has the ability to turn off the power plug so the electronics would not still suck energy even though they are off. I would like Control4 or the TV makers to be able to split the screen where I can watch TV on half the screen and have the Internet on the other half.
—John, Texas

Elgar: String Quartet; Bridge: Idylls; Walton: String Quartet
Helios (Hyperion's budget label) Composers of World War ICDH55218
Movement 1: Allegro moderato
Movement 2: Piacevole (poco andante)
Movement 3: Allegro molto
The second movement sounds artless. Piacevole, Elgar directed it—'agreeable, pleasant'. Elgar's wife likened it to 'captured sunshine': perhaps the long spells of drowsy repetitions against pedal points made her think of the 'sound of bees and insects on a hot summer's afternoon'. But there are also stabs of pain, and the sound, though sweet, is thin, often in only three parts, sprinkled with harmonics and finally muted. This sunshine is fitful and autumnal.
Lady Elgar wrote that the finale is 'most fiery & sweeps along like Galloping of Squadrons'. The thrust and resolution of the opening justify that description, as does the breadth of the ending. The second subject allows some relaxation, but a phrase from it is then vigorously propelled, so bringing together the motoric power of the first subject and the lyricism of the second.

Tatiane lives a hard work filled life in Brazil; and for her, moments of rest and relaxation are few and far between.
The life of an international model is not always as easy as it seems. Casting calls at six in the morning, twelve hour long photo shoots, finicky make-up artists, you name it! So when Petter Hegre told Tatiane she'd be spending the day posing on white cotton sheets she just about wept with joy.
Shedding away her stern working girl exterior, Tatiane let out her soft and sensual feminine side as Petter Hegre filmed Tatiane reveling in ecstasy. If only everyone's working day was this nice.

Jake's Corner
1/16/13 Rob & Kristen Off Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
With 87 years to go, it's kind of early to call this, but "GQ" magazine has chosen the 100 Hottest Women of the 21st Century. And they gave BEYONCÉ the ultimate title of "Miss Millennium". --It's not just a straight, ranked list. It's pretty much all over the place, and in some cases it doesn't seem entirely serious. But here are some of chosen ones. Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Katie Holmes, Britney Spears, Halle Berry, Hillary Clinton ???, Jennifer Aniston, Kim Kardashian and Shakira.
"Town & Country" magazine has put out a list of the World's Most Eligible Bachelors. Most of it is comprised of brats you've never heard of. The familiar names include Prince Harry, George Clooney, Tim Tebow and Jack Nicholson.
The Kardashians continue to share too much information. On the "Today" show yesterday, KIM and KOURTNEY talked about the possibility of breastfeeding each other's kids. --Kim said, quote, "You know what [Kourtney] said to me on the way over here? She said that in the old days . . . and maybe we should try this . . . one sister should babysit all the kids so I can go out, or vice versa, and then whichever sister's babysitting should just breastfeed all the kids that are there." --Kourtney insisted that she didn't suggest they ACTUALLY try it . . . but at the same time, she said the idea wasn't weird to her.
Britain's "Sun" tabloid clams ROBERT PATTINSON and KRISTEN STEWART are OVER. Supposedly, he broke it off this past weekend. A "source" says, quote, "She was supposed to be Rob's date for the Golden Globes, but he told her he wants to cool it off . . . Kristen's upset but understands."
1/15/13 Lindsay Fires Attorney
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
The producers of "The Canyons" are reportedly planning to leak LINDSAY LOHAN'S big sex scene to the Internet in order to drum up interest for a theatrical release. --A source says, quote, "[The movie] doesn't have a distributor to release it theatrically. The Sundance Film Festival turned it down, and the only buzz the movie is getting is Lindsay Lohan's four-way sex scene, in which she is fully nude. --Producers are considering leaking a snippet of the sex scene online, or to a tabloid website in the hopes that would secure a distributorship deal."
Lindsay Lohan cannot get out of her own way. LiLo has fired lawyer Shawn Holley even though she has kept her out of jail several time. TMZ is reporting that she bungled a plea deal when she fired her let Shawn go. That happened just as she was on her way to meet with the prosecutor and judge to work out a deal that would guarantee Lindsay would avoid jail. TMZ believes her attorney will be present at the early-morning hearing today, but only because she's worked on this case for so long. Lindsay still owes her about $300,000 in unpaid bills.
LANCE ARMSTRONG taped his interview with OPRAH WINFREY yesterday, and sources say he DID admit to using performance-enhancing drugs to help him win his seven Tour de France titles. Oprah will appear today on "CBS This Morning" to discuss the interview . . . which airs Thursday night on OWN.
Kanye West wants to marry Kim Kardashian, but there's a hitch before they can get hitched. Kim's still married to Kris Humphries. But according to one report, the couple has found a way around that. They're planning to have a "commitment ceremony, where they will exchange vows and rings in front of close family and friends." A source says, quote, "Kanye is very traditional. He'd have liked to marry Kim now that they are having a baby." Kris refuses to grant Kim a divorce until she admits their 72-day marriage was a publicity stunt. Kim and Kanye's baby is due in July.
1/14/13 Britney Spears Single
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, January 14, 2013
It's official: BRITNEY SPEARS is single again. Her fiancé Jason Trawick even removed himself as Britney's co-conservator, which means that Britney's dad Jamie Spears is in total control once again. --Jason started out as Britney's agent. They got engaged last year, after which he became her co-conservator. Now he's none of those things. Britney has new management. --But sources say the breakup was amicable, and the two of them just grew apart. Britney released a statement saying, quote, "Jason and I have decided to call off our engagement. I'll always adore him and we will remain great friends." --Jason reportedly signed a confidentiality agreement, meaning he can't talk about the relationship. --One source claims the breakup was over kids. Britney wanted more, Jason wanted NONE. She's 31 . . . he's 41. Britney has already given Jason back the $90,000 engagement ring.
BRITNEY SPEARS will not return for "X Factor's" third season. She issued a statement Friday saying it was her choice, but sources say she wasn't going to be asked back. Either way, Britney is reportedly closing in on a deal for a Las Vegas residency that'll pay her $100 million a year.
STEVEN TYLER is back on the market. He and his fiancée, Erin Brady, have split, and a source says, quote, "It's over for good this time." --Steven and Erin were together for about five years. They got engaged and had a commitment ceremony in Hawaii last year.
A couple that's had more ups and downs than most is back on the upswing. KOBE BRYANT and his wife VANESSA have officially called off their divorce. --Kobe had this to say on Facebook . . . quote, "I am happy to say that Vanessa and I are moving on with our lives together as a family. --When the show ends and the music stops, the journey is made beautiful by having that someone to share it with. Thank you all for your support and prayers! Much luv, Mamba out."
Britain's "Sun" tabloid says that BEYONCE and JAY-Z threw a party for their daughter Blue Ivy's first birthday. A $200,000 PARTY. --It reportedly included $95,000 for pink and white roses, $2,000 for the cake . . . and even $30,000 in swag for the guests. --Yeah . . . even the ADULTS who showed up got goodie bags that included personalized fountain pens. --Oh, and their gift to their daughter? An $80,000 Barbie doll that's encrusted with diamonds and wears jewelry made out of real white gold.
1/11/13 Justin Bieber Being Sued
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, January 11, 2013
Last week, a 29-year-old paparazzi photographer named Chris Guerra was hit by a car and killed while trying to shoot video of JUSTIN BIEBER being pulled over in his Ferrari. (--To add insult to injury, Bieber wasn't even in the car. His buddy LIL TWIST was driving.) --And now, CHARLIE SHEEN is donating $12,000 to cover Guerra's funeral expenses. He says, quote, "A tragic incident like this erases the line between the photographer and the subject."
JUSTIN BIEBER is being sued by an ex-bodyguard . . . for BEATING ON HIM. --And to make this lawsuit even more ridiculous, this guy is one of those former Israeli military guys who are very popular in the bodyguarding world. --The dude's name is Moshe Benabou, and he worked for Justin from March of 2011 to October of 2012. And he claims Justin was ABUSIVE. During one incident, he claims Justin berated him and punched him in the chest multiple times. --He's seeking unspecified damages for assault and battery . . . plus $420,000 in unpaid overtime.
"New York Times Magazine" has a piece on what a NIGHTMARE LINDSAY LOHAN was to work with on the set of her latest movie, "The Canyons". And it includes this revelation: --Director PAUL SCHRADER actually FIRED Lindsay because she was frequently not showing up for work. She was so freaked out that she actually hunted Schrader down at his hotel. --A source says, quote, "Lohan began to cry and begged for another chance. She pounded on doors until she found Schrader's room. --As she banged on his door, she texted him manically . . . Lohan stayed out in the hall sobbing for another 90 minutes before she finally left." Obviously, though, she succeeded in winning her job back. --And then there's this: One day Lindsay and her co-star, male porno star JAMES DEEN, were filming a scene in which Deen throws Lindsay to the ground. --After they were done, someone complimented Lindsay's work . . . and she said, quote, "Well, I've got a lot of experience with that from my dad."
1/10/13 Lilo Steals Bracelet
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, January 10, 2013
The "Star" tabloid says DEMI MOORE recently went to a fitness retreat in Mexico. --But she was less interested in pumping iron than she was in GETTING pumped by all the young, rock-hard studs. And she reportedly sampled quite a few of them. --A source says, quote, "Demi was clearly after younger men on this trip; they were all about 28 to 33. There were three or four older guys staying at the resort, fifty-plus, and I don't think she talked to them at all." --It was supposedly not uncommon to hear the sounds of, quote, "very, very loud sex" coming from Demi's room.
I think everyone agrees that ROBERT PATTINSON should have left KRISTEN STEWART weeping in his dust. But this is probably why he didn't. --Ever since she got Rob to take her back, Kristen has been willing to do ANYTHING to please him. And that includes having sex up to six or seven times a day. --A source says, quote, "They have a very active sex life and like handcuffs, blindfolds, and feathers." --They also frequent a West Hollywood sex shop called The Pleasure Chest, where they buy all manner of erotic toys and smut flicks.
RadarOnline claims that LINDSAY LOHAN stole one of ELIZABETH TAYLOR'S bracelets during the filming of "Liz & Dick". --Supposedly, Lindsay became friends with one of Liz's actual nurses while she was making the movie. When Liz was alive, she'd given that nurse one of her expensive bracelets, which the woman cherished. --Well, Lindsay visited the nurse one day . . . saw the bracelet and fell in love with it. And after she left, it was GONE. --The nurse called Lindsay, who denied taking it . . . either on purpose or by accident. A source says, quote, "It took over a week to get the bracelet back from Lindsay and it was only returned after the nurse threatened to call the cops. --One of Lindsay's people eventually returned the bracelet to the nurse, who was extremely upset about what had transpired." --During the back-and-forth, Lindsay even sent the nurse a text saying, quote, "Elizabeth would be very upset with how you are behaving."
