Be the First to See These Incredible Football Toys
Friday, April 22, 2005
McFarlane Toys is excited to unveil the finished photography for this summer's NFL Legends action figure series debut. This set gives the Sports Picks franchise a Legends line for each of the four major North American sports, as well as offering our collectors their first opportunity to own finely detailed figures of these gridiron greats.
From Johnny Unitas' rookie year in Baltimore (1956) to Troy Aikman's final game in 2000, this star-studded six-player lineup includes players whose careers overlapped for 43 seasons -- meaning anyone who watched the NFL in the last 43 years had a chance to see these icons work their Sunday magic.
Here, then, are McFarlane's Sports Picks NFL Legends:
"If you miss a tackle on #20, get up quick -- he might be coming back..." anonymous NFL linebacker
Barry Sanders hit the ground running -- literally. Detroit's first-round pick in 1989 turned in a thousand-yard rushing season his rookie year and followed it up with nine more thousand-yard rushing seasons. His best year came in 1997, when he spun through opposing defenses for 2,053 yards and shared the league MVP award with Brett Favre. The Hall of Fame running back joined O.J. Simpson, Eric Dickerson and Jamal Lewis as the only players in NHL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season.
"Hey, baby, let's go out there like a bunch of crazed dogs and have some fun..." -- Lawrence Taylor
New York's relentless #56 terrorized NFL offenses during 10 Pro Bowl seasons, pacing the Giants defense to victory in two Super Bowls. "L.T." brought unrivaled speed and power to the outside linebacker position. He made quarterbacks eat dirt 142 times in his stellar career and dominated the game so thoroughly that divisional opponents altered their offensive philosophy just to slow him down.
"I never felt more proud than the day my coach, Wade Phillips, called me the Lou Gehrig of quarterbacks." -- John Elway
John Elway led the Broncos to six Super Bowls, retiring in 1998 following a second straight Super Bowl win. Elway still casts a larger-than-life shadow in Denver, where his career lasted 16 glorious years. During his Hall of Fame tenure as Broncos QB, Elway accounted for 334 touchdowns (300 passing, 33 rushing and one receiving), generating 4,771 of the 5,806 points (82.2 percent) scored by Denver during his career.
"When you know what you are doing, you are not intercepted." -- Johnny Unitas
Baltimore's brilliant quarterback met the nation in the 1958 NFL title game. In what was deemed "the greatest game ever played," Unitas engineered a last-second drive with seven straight completions to lead to a game-tying field goal as time expired. In overtime, "Johnny U" led an 80-yard drive to win the championship and cement his place in football history. His Colts would win another title in 1959, leaving a nation to remember the trademark black high-top cleats and buzzcut flat-top of Johnny Unitas -- one of the best to ever play the game.
"I didn't see the play. I was talking to the man upstairs. I didn't want to interrupt what I was doing. Next thing I know, the guys are jumping around and there goes Franco and I'm saying, 'Lord, I hope he has the ball.'" -- Steelers defensive end L.C. Greenwood, on Franco Harris' "Immaculate Reception."
Franco Harris was only the fourth player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in his rookie season. It was the first of eight thousand-yard rushing seasons, with 91 touchdowns, four Super Bowl championships and one Super Bowl MVP amassed during a 13-year career that landed the former Nittany Lion in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In a career full of superlatives, Harris is best remembered for making "The Immaculate Reception," a much-disputed (and much-celebrated) play in the 1972 AFC playoffs. Trailing 7-6 with 22 seconds left to play, Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw fired a fourth-down pass that ricocheted off Raiders safety Jack Tatum (or Steelers fullback "Frenchy" Fuqua -- depending on who you ask) into the grasp of Franco Harris, who snatched the ball off his shoestrings and tore down the sidelines for a game-winning 60-yard touchdown play.
"He restored or embellished our belief that ... our athletes can be heroes." - Jerry Jones, on Troy Aikman
Aikman arrived in Dallas as the third-highest-rated passer in NCAA history and was the first foundation of the Cowboys dynasty in the 1990s. The former Sooner and Bruin made four All-Pro teams and led Dallas to Super Bowl titles three times in a four-year span. Only Aikman, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw and Tom Brady have quarterbacked teams to three or more Super Bowl wins. Following his retirement in 2000, he joined the FOX network and calls games on Sundays -- leading up to a possible Hall of Fame enshrinement in 2006.

|Assistant Coach (DT)
|3rd season
|Previous College:
|St. Francis (Ind.) '04
The 2013 season represents the third for Chris Van Horn on the UNH coaching staff as defensive tackles coach.
Van Horn helped develop senior Jared Smith into an NFL prospect during the 2012 season. Smith attended the NFL Combine and participated in the Texas vs The Nation All-Star Game after earning a spot on the All-CAA First Team, the All-New England Team, College Sports Journal FCS All-America Team, The Sports Network All-America Third Team and the Beyond Sports Network All-America Third Team. Smith registered 40 tackles, including four sacks, blocked three kicks, broke up four passes, forced two fumbles and recovered a fumble.
In his first season, 2011, Van Horn helped develop a corps of underclassmen in the middle of the 'Cats defensive front, led by junior Jared Smith (43 tackles, 2.5 sacks) and sophomore Sean McCann (27 tackles, sack).
Van Horn previously spent three seasons (2008-10) at the University of North Carolina. In 2010, he was the on-field defensive graduate assistant for the Tar Heels and worked with the defensive line. During his first two seasons in Chapel Hill, Van Horn served in a quality control position, working with linebackers and the secondary. During his three seasons at North Carolina, the team went to three straight bowl games, culminating in a Music City Bowl victory in 2010.
The Fort Wayne, Ind., native was a three-year letterwinner at St. Francis University in his hometown and began his coaching career at his alma mater, where he worked for three seasons. After two years as a graduate assistant, Van Horn was elevated to the role of defensive line coach for the 2007 season.
During his playing career, Van Horn was an NAIA First Team All-America at defensive end for St. Francis and still holds the school's all-time record for most sacks in a season and career.
Van Horn earned bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education and Special Education in 2004.

AuctionBytes discovered that eBay bans sellers from using Google Checkout to request payment. One of their official reasons is that Google Checkout doesn't have a "substantial historical track record of providing safe and reliable financial and/or banking related services." Google says they had a lot of experience from AdWords and Video Store payments. It's interesting to note that eBay accepts "PayPal, credit cards including MasterCard/Visa /Amex/Discover, debit cards and bank electronic payments online for eBay purchases". Google Checkout is just like using the credit card, but through a Google proxy (that removes personal information and helps you if you don't trust an online store).
In a related note, Reuters reports that PayPal President Jeff Jordan will leave the company in the following months "to spend more time with his family". He must've come with a better reason than that.
While eBay tries to face the increasing competition with anti-competitive practices, Google has a much more relaxed attitude and says "We want to work with everybody".

Bleak House Coffee's grand reopening scheduled for late JuneWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Chase Will, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
May 18 is your last chance to support an online fundraising campaign for Bleak House Coffee's grand reopening at 612 Adams St., scheduled for the end of June.
Eileen Iannone, Dakota Cousino and Scott Ciolek hope to raise $5,000 through the crowdfunding website Indigogo. This money will go toward finishing renovations at the new location.
"We'd planned on reopening the shop since the Spitzer Building closed," Iannone said. "The former manager moved and decided to pursue other things, so Dakota and I took over. It's just taken us a long time because there were so many problems with the shop and we had limited funding. Things are on-track now, I would say."
"I own the shop, while Eileen and Dakota operate it," Ciolek said. "I'd say Bleak House Coffee was the greatest coffee house I know of. It almost exclusively used repurposed materials from the building to build it up, and we moved over all the equipment from the Spitzer Building to the new location on Adams Street."
The new location will feature a larger seating area, a bigger service counter and a full-service kitchen. Plans include adding a breakfast and lunch menu, as well as specialty drinks and ice cream.
One of the biggest challenges for the team has been replacing pipes which burst over the winter, during which time management was still changing. Funding from Indigogo will be used to replace the plumbing, install electrical outlets around the bar, and add a fresh coat of paint to the walls.
"Dakota and I have put a lot of time, effort and money into this project, and we'd really like it to pay off and have the doors open soon," Iannone said.
"We've been working actively every single day, whether it's training or experimenting or remodeling. I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing all the work we've been doing materialize," Cousino said.
According to Bleak House's Indigogo page, the goal is to reinvent the shop to its highest potential with consistency being the primary focus. This vision includes displaying work by local artists, holding poetry slams, and hosting coffee tasting events.
By contributing to funding, patrons may earn such perks as barista training, free refills, event hosting, and an opportunity to name their own drink.
"We're going to hold after-hour galleries in the shop itself. Right now we're painting the entire shop just so it's fresh and to offset the paintings. We're also rebuilding our service bar and doing little things to make the shop nicer," Cousino said.
"We hope to be a big part of the surrounding community and support local artists in Toledo," added Iannone.
The new location will collaborate with such nationally-recognized roasters as Intelligentsia and Maddie & Bella Coffee Co.
"I think it's unsurpassed quality. They just do it right; it's strong and delicious and where artisan coffee needs to be," said Cousino. "That's something I really like about the coffee. We're able to have a close relationship with our roaster, which isn't something everyone can say. We'll actually be training with Intelligentsia in Chicago for a couple weeks."
A new product featured at the shop will be Cousino's organic tea, which she makes and blends herself.
To assist with funding, visit www.indiegogo.com/projects/bring-bleakhouse-back or visit Bleak House Coffee on Facebook. For more information call (419) 740-1125.

- Willamette
- College of Law
- Centers
- Center for Constitutional Government
- Certificate Programs in Law and Government
Certificate Program in Law and Government
The Certificate Program in Law and Government provides students with a significant educational experience in the field of public law. Through personalized and rigorous training, students develop an understanding of the legal structure, function and operations of national, state and local governments. The program provides students with knowledge and skills about how to make,modify and influence public law and policy.
The Certificate Program in Law and Government requires 16 hours of specialized study as part of the 90 hours required to earn the J.D. Participation in the certificate program is open to 15 students from each class. First-year students interested in admission to the program must enroll in the Lawmaking Process course offered in the spring semester, which allows students hands-on involvement in formulating legislation, regulations, policy and programs. Other required core courses include federal constitutional law and legislation. Students are also expected to write a substantial public law research paper in one of the wide variety pf public law seminars offered each year, such as State Constitutional Law, First Amendment, Substantive Natural Resources, various advanced administrative constitutional or criminal law seminars, International Human Rights, and Employment Discrimination. In addition, students are required to complete a practicum project in the practicum course or another clinic or externship pertaining to law and government.
Willamette's Pioneering Law and Government Program
From its inception, Willamette University College of Law has maintained a unique and valued relationship with the leading legal and governmental institutions in the state. Located directly across the street from the Oregon Capitol and the state Supreme Court, the College of Law has a long history of successfully translating the capital city's rich political and legal environments into a living laboratory for Willamette law students interested in careers in government and the public sector, with advocacy organizations, or as elected officials.
The college's proximity to key government agencies and state courts provides numerous opportunities for students to gain practical, first-hand experience in lawmaking and policy administration. The Certificate Program in Law and Government, administered by the Center for Law and Government, gives students unprecedented access to some of the state's most influential policy-makers and respected legal scholars through Externships and clerkships. Students enrolled in the certificate program work for federal district court and state appellate courts, the state attorney general, the governor, state representatives and senators, lobbying firms, legislative counsels, and public policy and advocacy groups.
Law Reform at Willamette
The Certificate Program in Law and Government is enriched by its relationship with several government agencies. The Oregon Law Commission, the state's official law-reform agency, is housed at the College of Law. Willamette also is home to the Public Policy Research Center, which works with state agencies and the legislature on critical research projects. These organizations provide students with unique opportunities to engage in policy development and law-reform activities.
Preparing for Careers in Law and Government
Graduates of the certificate program are readily qualified to work not only for legislatures and state agencies, but also for private law firms with a regulatory practice. Possible career paths for certificate program graduates include attorney positions throughout state, county and municipal government, as well as elected positions. Other possible careers include working for public interest organizations, nonprofit corporations and lobbyists. In addition, private law firms involved in representing clients before federal and state regulatory agencies hire attorneys with a practical knowledge of public law, governmental operations and public policy issues.
Program Requirements
To be eligible to receive a Certificate, a Certificate candidate must:
- Have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher to be eligible for admittance into the Certificate Program;
- Apply and be admitted to the Certificate Program;
- Complete a total of sixteen hours in the Certificate Program courses listed below; and
- Receive a cumulative GPA of 2.80 in the Certificate Program courses, including Constitutional Law I and II, all of which must be taken on a graded basis.*
* Students must have the practical ability to take and complete all courses required for the Law and Government Certificate prior to graduation. If, for any reason, a Certificate candidate is unable to complete all courses prior to graduation, the student shall either opt to graduate on time without the Certificate and/or continue at the College of Law for such additional time as is necessary to complete the Certificate requirements.
1L Required Introductory Course (3 hours)
- 116: Lawmaking Process (Students may satisfy this requirement as 2L/3L with permission of the program director)
2L/3L Required Core Courses (14-15 hours)
- 216: Legislation
- 255: Administrative Law
- 256: Public Policy Studies
- 304: State and Local Government Law
- At least one Public Law Seminar (e.g. Advanced Topics in Public Law and Policy; Advanced Administrative Law; Topics in Natural Resources Law: consult with Program Director to determine whether a seminar qualifies)
2L/3L Required Practicum Project (2 hours +)
- 476: Law & Government Practicum
A faculty approved and supervised research project with a substantial written work product. The work must be prepared during a faculty-approved external placement. This project does not satisfy graduation writing requirement.
Note: For students pursuing a Certificate with emphasis in a substantive area the Practicum writing project must be in the substantive area selected for emphasis.
2L/3L Research Writing Requirement
Certificate students must satisfy their research writing requirement through a Required Core Course.Course Work Leading to a Certificate with a Substantive Emphasis
Students also have the option to take course work leading to a Certificate with a substantive emphasis. The Certificate in Law and Government "with emphasis" in a substantive area (e.g. criminal justice, employment and human resources, health law and policy) is earned by adding five hours of credit in substantive area to the sixteen hours required for the Certificate in Law and Government. For students pursuing an emphasis, the Practicum writing project must be in the substantive area selected for emphasis.
Program Faculty
"At other law schools, students take classes about government and the law. At Willamette, our students help form and reform law by working directly with the Legislature, state agencies, local government and key public interest groups as early as their first year of law school."

This pictured – and much pampered – pup runs a vineyard in North Carolina. Actually, her humans run it, but admit she is the titular head. Lulu is not only their official enthusiastic greeter but their unofficial overseer. She performs the latter daily by racing around hundreds of acres of growing grapes. I suspect she was named because she has turned out to be a real "lulu," and the "loco" stems from her alternate duties of licking customers and loping around her domain. Lulu is so popular one of their best red wines is named for her. She is pictured on the label with a soulful look and adorned with a perky red scarf.
Lulu is a rescue dog much beloved by her owners but because of her energy and dedication, she hurt her foot and now sports a temporary limp and a purple bandage. At the moment Lulu spends much of her time on the sofa adjacent to the wine tasting room, totally relaxing and allowing her family to temporarily take over. They told us "she's milking that situation for all she's worth!"
To me, this canny canine represents the July cycle of Hill family celebrations. My birthday is mid-month and our son and his wife celebrate their wedding anniversary on that same date. Jim and I toast our years together two days later. As usual the kids plan "a little something" to celebrate the occasions. This year they outdid themselves.
First, David and his wife Amy treated us in an elegant restaurant featuring a floral scented courtyard with a glowing starry sky overhead. One entrée, seared scallops encrusted with ground pistachios, inspired David to promise to replicate the dish so we can all celebrate even more. It was wonderfully special to spend this private time together.
We got another chance with another duo. Our daughters Cathy and Mary Clare were more mysterious, asking us to reserve last weekend and keeping mum about plans until they were all set. Turns out this quartet spent time in and around Hendersonville, N.C. The trip, meticulously planned as a treat by the girls, began with "Les Miserables" on stage. They quite rightly reviewed it as "stunning." Other activities included shopping (naturally, with three women), a six-hour, three-stop wine tour, and wonderful food in our B&B's dining room as well as on its roomy front porch.
One of the most memorable times was the wine tour – as much about the people as the libations. We rode in a 15-passenger van with a delightful and informative tour guide as well as a good mix of congenial fellow passengers. I guess my most memorable part of that activity was getting on and off the van. When you're only five feet tall and the one step into the vehicle is higher than your knees, entries and exits are a real challenge. Then two gallant – and thankfully muscular and much younger – men stepped up to help me. They put their hands under my elbows wafting me upwards with seeming ease, gifting me with six smooth transitions from ground to van floor level.
Like that vintner's dog, my family all took some time to recoup from busy schedules, lick any current wounds, sit back and relax in the company of those we love. And with a little help from new friends. Maybe Lulu wasn't so Loco after all.

I had to share... my AFP this pregnancy was normal! Last pregnancy, it came back with elevated risk for Down Syndrome. I looked and my Inhibin-A levels were really high and the MoM was 2.57. This time is was 1.4, which I think is a good sign?
I don't know much about all this but it came back normal, so I am happy for the moment.
I'm now 17w2d. Getting closer to the 20 week mark where I will probably start to panic. My BPs have been great! 100's/60's. They weren't even that low prior to pregnancy. I'm on Labetolol 200mg 3 times a day, so it seems to be controlling things really well.
I also wanted to ask... how many of you have had a uterine artery doppler/ultrasound? My OB and MFM haven't mentioned this but I did some research and it seems to be pretty important. I'm going to ask about it. Do they do that at a Level II ultrasound or is it different?
Thanks everyone!!

Dr. Neil Turok earned his PhD at Imperial College. After a postdoc in Santa Barbara, he was appointed Associate Scientist at Fermilab before moving to Princeton, where he became Professor of Physics in 1994. In 1997 he was appointed to the Chair of Mathematical Physics in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at Cambridge. In October 2008, he moved to the Perimeter Institute as its new Director. Among his many honours, he was awarded Sloan and Packard Fellowships and the 1992 James Clerk Maxwell medal of the UK Institute of Physics.
Dr. Turok has worked in a number of areas of theoretical physics and cosmology, focusing on developing fundamental theories and new observational tests. In the early 1990s, his group showed how the polarization and temperature anisotropies of the cosmic background radiation would be correlated, a prediction confirmed in detail by recent precision measurements. The team also developed a key test for the presence of the cosmological constant, also recently confirmed. With Stephen Hawking, he later developed the Hawking-Turok instanton solutions describing the birth of inflationary universes.
Most recently, with Paul Steinhardt at Princeton, he has developed a cyclic model for cosmology, according to which the Big Bang is explained as a collision between two "brane-worlds" in M-theory. In 2006, Steinhardt and Turok showed how the model naturally allowed the cosmological constant to relax to very small values, consistent with current observations. Steinhardt and Turok co-authored the popular science book Endless Universe: Beyond the Big Bang. A full online multimedia talk may be viewed online by clicking on Perimeter Institute Public Lectures and selecting Dr. Turok's presentation "What Banged?".
Born in South Africa, Dr. Turok founded the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), which opened in 2003. Based in Cape Town, this postgraduate educational centre supports the development of mathematics and science across the African continent (see www.aims.ac.za and www.nexteinstein.org). For this work and his contributions to theoretical physics, Dr. Turok was recently awarded a prestigious TED Prize (www.ted.com) and a "Most Innovative People" award at the 2008 World Summit on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WSIE). He is a Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) Fellow in Cosmology and Gravity and was selected to deliver the 2012 CBC Massey Lectures.
I am interested in developing and testing fundamental theories of the cosmos. I have worked on many aspects of cosmology, including theories of galaxy formation, dark matter, dark energy and the cosmic microwave sky. Currently, I am working on using holography to understand the big bang singularity, and whether it was the beginnning of time. There are tantalizing indications of a new, non-inflationary solution of the horizon, flatness and structure formation problems.

Kanye West Gossip
Kanye West gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Beyonce was in the Hamptons
Lester Cohen/ Getty
Here's what I wrote on Friday: Is B going to the wedding this weekend? God I hope not. But how do they get out of it? Jay and Kanye are collaborators. Close collaborators. If he doesn't go, would be seen as a sign of disrespect, non? Well, they didn't go. Full Story
Beyonce's long hair
Beyonce was seen at her office in New York yesterday with some new very long braids. Sh-t. That must be heavy. I get hair headaches all the time just from the added weight of hairspray. Happily, Beyonce has stopped getting desperate on all her social media accounts to convince us that her perfect life really is perfect. Full Story
Posh needs a hug today
We have a policy here at LaineyGossip. We don't refer to Kanye West's fiancée by name. We try not to refer to her at all. Once in a while, some of you, under influence of drugs or temporary psychosis, will force Sasha to find an outfit that she's worn or whatever, but we don't soil the main gossip page like that. Full Story
Rihanna schedules Drake
KCS Presse/ Splash
As I predicted earlier today – click here for a refresher -- Rihanna has indeed made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week for Balmain. You can see the collection on LifeStyle here. Rihanna is one of Balmain's celebrity faces. Full Story
Conversations between Kanye and Leo
Brian Prahl/ Splash
Kanye West was at Leonardo DiCaprio's birthday party a couple of weeks ago. Leo was at Kanye's MSG show last night. With girlfriend Toni Garrn. So, presumably, they're more than just casual acquaintances. What's that like? What does it sound like when Kanye and Leo hang out? What do they talk about? When Ye goes off about the injustice of the fashion industry and the Grammys and why his girlfriend has been excluded from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, does Leo nod in solidarity? Even though Kanye West's girlfriend's lifestyle is exactly the kind of sh-t Leo abhors? He never calls the paps. Full Story
Photo Assumption: Anna Wintour watching Kanye West
Brian Prahl/ Splash
This post is for Sasha. She sent me this shot yesterday with the message: "you better be doing a picture analysis on this!!! look at (Kanye West's fiancée) and then to the leeeeeeeffffffftttttttttttttt" To the left? Everything you own in a box to the left… Thank you, Beyonce. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Kanye West is mad again. And when something is picking Kanye's ass, it's always a good day. This is Kanye's new cause of the day:
Kanye West thinks Kanye West's girlfriend should be on the cover of VOGUE. Anna Wintour isn't feeling that. If she's not feeling Victoria Beckham, you can imagine how she feels about Kanye West's girlfriend. And Kanye thinks this is an injustice.
"There's no way (Kanye West's girlfriend) shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue. She's like the most intriguing woman right now. She's got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday," West told Ryan Seacrest on the radio yesterday.
Kanye's rationale for having his girlfriend on the cover of VOGUE is because last week she posted a picture of her ass in a bikini on Instagram:
"And collectively, we're the most influential with clothing. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
Jimmy Kimmel gave Kanye West almost 30 minutes last night and just pressed play. Kanye did as Kanye does: he performed, he delivered, he entertained. "We are here to entertain you," he preached. Always.
Because whatever your feelings about Kanye – you hate him, you love him, you defend him, you mock him – it's undeniable that Kanye is never boring. Kanye is Must See TV, any kind of TV – late night talk show TV, documentary interview TV, award show TV, even telethon TV. This is a gift. It's a gift most of his peers don't have. If you gave Justin Timberlake 30 minutes to freestyle, unscripted, with no distractions, no background music, no music at all, no moves, and no flash, he couldn't paralyse you the way Kanye can. Kanye is riveting – whether you actually agree with what he's saying or not, he is riveting, compelling, arresting, and, again, so f-cking entertaining. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
"If you're a Kanye West fan, you're a fan of yourself." – Kanye West
No idea. Do you know what that means? Wait, don't answer that. Don't even bother to think about that. It doesn't matter. Because the point isn't to make sense of it. The point is to ENJOY it. And you have to enjoy Kanye. Kanye is, officially, a better interview that Karl Lagerfeld now.
Have you seen the Kanye interview with Zane Lowe on BBC1? I've taken my time with it this week – it's been busy, sure, but also, for this particular interview, you can't multi-task, you know? You have to focus, completely, on what he's saying AND on how his face is moving for the full, awesomely ridiculous effect. It's WONDERFUL. He's WONDERFUL. Read Full Intro
Art & Art
Wenn, Rick Diamond/ Getty
Which do you prefer? Do you prefer Lady Gaga's ARTPOP with the multiple wig changes and the cardboard cut-out? Or was Kanye's stripped down silhouette for Blood On The Leaves more your jam? I give it to Yeezy. I liked the look of his body dancing in shadow. I did not like the high school musical low budget production Gaga served up to open the show. Full Story
The Anthropologie of Insults
Kevin Winter/ Getty
Do you remember much from 2009? Do you remember conversations and your favourite outfit and what you ate for lunch every day? I definitely don't. But you know what I do remember? Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMAs – mostly because MTV and Taylor Swift don't want us to forget it. Full Story
It's North
The name of the child is North. North West. Before we get into what we think, we should evaluate what we now know. North West. I have heard no middle name yet. It's a play on Kanye's name…Ergo? This is KANYE's daughter. This is not the daughter of Kanye West's girlfriend. Full Story
Beyonce's congratulations
Kanye West's girlfriend gave birth to Kanye West's baby the other day. Beyonce posted a message on her Tumblr to congratulate them. Which we're supposed to take as evidence that they don't hate each other although I take it more to mean that it was out of respect for Kanye. Full Story
Yeezus is Amazing
Rick Davis/ Jackson Lee/ Splash
Sometimes things trend on Twitter and it's nonsense. Sometimes what's trending on Twitter deserves to be trending. Kanye West's interview with the NYT is trending. And so it should. This is amazing. It is the most amazing interview you'll read all month, maybe even all year. Full Story

Story within a story: Writer Doug Dorst joins forces with J.J. Abrams for 'S'Written by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The concept is fascinating. A book where two stories (at least) are going on simultaneously — one in the main body of the text, and another in the margins, where two readers are jotting notes to one another about the tome, its mysterious author and each other. The result is a reading experience unlike any other.
That's the concept of "S," a novel released in October from Mullholland Books and Bad Robot Productions. It was the idea of Bad Robot owner, Hollywood wunderkind and "Star Wars" reboot director J.J. Abrams. But most of the heavy lifting in the construction of the book was done by novelist Doug Dorst.
"It's the one thing I've sort of done my whole life; I've certainly enjoyed it my whole life," Dorst said of writing in an interview with Toledo Free Press. "And I kind of thought, at some point, if there was a way to make a living doing this thing that I like, I really ought to try."
Dorst brings a distinctive pedigree to his work, having tried to be a musician before deciding writing was his true calling. He also teaches creative writing full time at Texas State University in San Marcos.
In his formative days, Dorst found himself drawn to writing that rejected the ideas of traditional narrative, which made him uniquely qualified when Lindsey Weber of Bad Robot called with the idea that would grow into "S."
"J.J. had shared his idea for a book project, and may have asked her for suggestions for who to go to. And I think she had read 'Alive in Necropolis,' and passed it along to him and suggested I might be someone interesting to talk to," Dorst said, referring to his first (and only) novel prior to "S."
"I got a call from my agent — and I mean, it was out of nowhere — asking, 'Would you be interested in putting together a proposal, at least, for a project with J.J. Abrams?' And that is not the sort of call one gets every day."
Abrams' kernel of an idea developed into an expansive and imaginatively assembled text where pages are filled with notes and comments and additional pieces like newspaper clippings and maps drawn on napkins are stuffed inside as well.
The tight structure might lead readers to believe it had been meticulously outlined and planned in advance — which Dorst insists is not the case.
"J.J. and I and Lindsey Weber — who is the head of features over at Bad Robot who worked with us a lot on this — we did a lot of talk on foundation work for the characters and a sense of what the structure of 'Ship of Theseus' might be like. But a lot of it, — yeah, a lot of it I was making up as I went along. And yes, that made for … many messes that had to be cleaned up later."
So how did something so intricately constructed result from such a relatively freewheeling creative process?
"I'm an obsessive reviser, for one thing, but we also had a lot of people who really devoted themselves to helping make it work on that level," Dorst said. "Josh Kendall, the editor, did a fantastic job, and we got really really good feedback from other folks."
The end result is one of the most breathtakingly new ideas to come along in publishing in a long time.
"It's tremendous fun. That's probably the biggest part of it, is getting to watch this unfold, and realizing — wow, this thing that I wrote … to watch it having a life in such an interesting way that's so different from anything I've ever experienced before? I mean, that's just pure fun."

I wanted to travel all over the USA by train. That seemed like a romantic idea and, for me, the best way to explore the entire country, speak to strangers and have an adventure or two. I had bookmarked YepMov.com porn videos, so that I can have fun a little bit if things get lonely and boring. I had my little sessions in secluded places, but this time, I wanted it to be a bit more exciting.
I was on the night train. I had my bed there, and I was alone in the entire wagon. At least, I thought so. Therefore, when the night fell down and I got tired of reading and listening to music, I decided that it was high time I took a glance at the porn sex videos from my favorite XXX site. A good and strong orgasm will allow me to sleep better and wake up at my destination place. The pick of the night was HD black porn videos.
There is something about that Miley Cyrus porn video that makes me particularly horny. I watched a girl holding on to a tree in the forest while a guy was pounding her from behind. Her tits were enormous and they were hanging down from her shirt, swinging with each thrust of his hips onto her ass.
I took off my panties, covered myself with a blanket and got on my tummy. I took the pillow and placed it under my pubic bone. As I watched that guy pounding that busty girl, I moved my hips in the same rhythm, rubbing my clit on the pillow. I simply love humping pillows and similar things, because then both of my hands remain free for other things. This time, I grabbed both of my butt cheeks and opened them wide apart.
My asshole was gaping, as well as my pussy. The breeze of fresh air indicated that they were both soaking wet from the juice that was dripping from my twat.
I bet I left some marks on my butt cheeks since I got my nails deep into my own skin. As the guy from the Katy Perry erotic video pulled out from that girl's twat, he came all over her back and sprayed her with his hot jizz. But I wasn't done just yet. I was till humping the pillow, but now, I did it so vigorously that I was really lucky to be alone in the wagon. Somebody would definitely hear something.
I let my fingers wander all the way from the butt crack to my pussy. I stopped a bit near my anus and touched it a bit, as well. I don't like anything inside it, but a gentle stimulation of the very hole is quite stimulating. I picture that guy cumming on that girl and the splatter of hot jizz on her back and that was the point I trusted my hips and my pubic bone into the pillow and came really hard. After that, I could sleep like a baby with that sex video.

it only takes one reason
(You've got to hand it Balloon Juice: no other blog in history has been so adept at perfectly defining bullshit and how it operates, and then turning around and engaging in precisely that kind of bullshit. A fun game you can play with Balloon Juice is to go through its wonderful lexicon, then turn to the posts on the front page and see how many of them are guilty of the sins the lexicon identifies.)
The Balloon Juice crew has been holding Andrew Sullivan's feet to the fire over the absurd Ryan budget, which is important, but holy moly. I would give that a good fisking but honestly it's all too wearying. Suffice is to say that this kind of discourse-politicing argument is going to become increasingly commonplace, until "YOU MUST VOTE FOR OBAMA" will become a mantra in the progressive blogosphere. Get used to it.
I'm sure I'll articulate why I can't support Barack Obama for the presidency in 2012 at great length in the future. In the meantime, at this particular moment, I'll just express one argument that by itself is sufficient for me to walk away from Hope and Change. I went to see Glenn Greenwald speak this past week, which was excellent. And in his discussion I had a moment of simple awe, as I remembered, and then finally really wrapped my head around, the fact that the Obama administration has asserted its right to murder American citizens with absolutely no due process or review of law at all. I mean, really think about that, for a little. What civil liberties can really remain at all, if the government retains the right to kill you at its whim? None of the rights enumerated in our constitution matter one bit if the government can simply murder you without cause or review. The police need a warrant to search my glove compartment if it's locked; the executive can send an agent to put a bullet in the back of my head completely with impunity.
This is a decision made and announced by fiat by the Obama administration. As Congress has abandoned any interest at all in protecting civil liberties, those issues are especially damning to the President. For that reason alone-- not even just civil liberties, but that one issue, the assertion of a universal and unchecked right to assassination-- I would never support the Obama candidacy. That alone, for me, is enough.
Update: It's been credibly argued to me in a back and forth with an emailer that it's stupid and counterproductive of me to talk about Balloon Juice as a whole when I'm responding to a post by a particular member. (She was much more polite than that, but that was her point.) So I apologize for that.

The fact Tea Partiers get up in arms about tax money going to poor people rather than executive powers stuff should make it clear their whole liberty schtick is total and complete BS.
I hate to open up the same old debate, but... here goes: I remember a lot of folks sitting out the 2000 election and then we got a whole lot worse president because of it. Refusing to vote for the least worst candidate is scary when the worst candidate is likely to be infinitely scarier. It's a sad part of American politics, but it's one that's changed by getting folks convinced of electoral reform and making our institutions more majoritarian. George W. didn't care that lots of lefties thought Gore was bad; Pres. Bachmann won't either.

Forgive me for answering a question with a question, but-- what is the endpoint of that thinking? Consider how far it can take you.

I can certainly think of what the endpoint of convincing liberals not to support the Democratic Party is, and I don't think it's going to be the scenario you envision. Trying to get Democrats to tailor their appeal to a tiny, electorally insignificant fraction of the voting population is a recipe for a Republican stranglehold.
Looking at the current high profile members of the Democratic Party, I can't think of many that I see eye to eye with more than Nancy Pelosi. I think she was a terrific speaker and I think the legislation produced in the House in the 111th Congress was vastly better than the final product that went through the Senate. I think that Nancy Pelosi's platform is a good platform. She's also the most unpopular Congressional leader ever. 58% of the country views her unfavorably, 47% very unfavorably. If the entire party was made of Nancy Pelosis, I think the legislative agenda would be better but the outcomes would be far worse, and it would unquestionable be a good thing for the Republican Party. Liberal purism just does not hold a significant enough appeal to the majority of the country. The Democratic Party has to deal with that unfortunate reality, or we'll go back to the McGovern/Carter/Mondale/Dukakis days.

You've misunderstood my question.
And, by the way-- that attitude is why we lose.
- April 9, 2011 at 2:23 PM
America is a pretty conservative country, for better or worse; unless we move to a parliamentary system, there's really no point to try to like 'reform' the Democratic party into something that only reflects 10% of the electorate.
Anyway I'm interested in what you thought of Greenwald as a speaker ... I sincerely feel like he's the worst blogger on earth in terms of actual writing ability, but his TV/lecture appearances seem somewhat better.
- April 9, 2011 at 2:38 PM
- Aidan said...
The endpoint of Anwar al-Awlaki is that people who recruit terrorists, who train terrorists, who motivate potential terrorists, who have been linked to at least four attempts to murder American civilians, who present a vital threat to national security can be assassinated. Nothing gives the indication that the government is claiming the right to assassinate any citizen for any reason at any time.
As for my larger point, that fact that you're in this much of a minority among SELF-IDENTIFYING LIBERALS should give an indication of the viability of applying your ideal vision of the Democratic Party to a national agenda. "That attitude" is not why we lose - we lose when we mistake the degree to which the median voter agrees with us, when we mistake the correctness of much of the liberal agenda for a nationally appealing agenda, when we try to focus on satisfying the small fraction of the voting population who identify as liberals and not independent voters, Midwesterners, swing-state voters.
It would be a mistake to unlearn the lessons of the pre-Clinton Democratic Party.

It would be an ethical mistake to stand for nothing and compromise my way to positions I abhor. If you're saying that I have to choose between principles and popularity, well. No problem.

- Mysterious Man from the shadows said...
But what else can a progressive do? I hate to say it, but it seems unlikely that anybody who actually agrees with you on that issue will have a chance at the Presidency.
Are there any issues on which you think the Republican candidate will be "better" than Obama? Is Obama in *any* way better than a Republican? If not, what else can you do but try to inch the country "leftward"?
I honestly don't know the answer; nor can I really even guess.

All I can do: push. Push push push.
I'll never get what I want, I understand that. So I just push.

I take the idea of supporting the Democratic candidate, regardless. However, I think primary challenges are the only way for the left to assert power. It's the only option. You can't start another party; you can't build the Green Party, at least not in the context that they think we should do it (they're only concerned with national politics...politics needs to build a local base and spread, not top-down).
I also disagree with Aidan. I don't believe we should keep supporting moderates for the sake of winning; especially not in the Congress. If we're in California, Feinstein should be primaried. Mark Warner should be primaried. I'd rather lose a few seats and send the message in THIS manner, rather than sitting it out. When we sit out, the Republicans win, and the party leaders take that to mean they weren't conservative enough. When we actively engage in primaries to get a more liberal candidate, they get the hint that they're not representing their party.
A key difference between the two parties: Republicans actively pushed their party to the right by doing this. Liberals responded by voting 3rd party or sitting it out. One party was right, the other was wrong, and all of America is paying the price for it.
- April 9, 2011 at 2:59 PM
- Aidan said...
It's not just about a popularity contest. Principles start to seem less appealing when you're doomed to a permanent minority. I won't just be voting for Barack Obama in 2012 to deny Republicans a political victory, it's because I think there isn't a metric by which the country won't be worse off with a Republican in the White House.
- April 9, 2011 at 3:06 PM
- Aidan said...
I guess the difference between me and Seabe (and Freddie) is that I don't think that a Democratic Party which is a perfect mirror of my political views in every race in the country would be, on the whole, a net-positive for liberalism or the country. I accept the fact that I'm in the minority on certain things, and even if I think the majority is wrong or overly compromising, I think there is a larger picture at stake.

wallah freddie.
I have shame for you.
Who ever would have thought in the old days of Culture 11 that this would happen?
I never thought i'd be ashamed of you.
It is shameful that 25% of america preschoolers live below the poverty line.
It is shameful that America spends 3 billion dollars a month to commit atrocities and make more Taliban in A-stan and Iraq on a failed missionary effort that can never work.
It is shameful that Sully pimps Ryans "plan" as courageous…its a pack of anti-empirical garbage.
And those horrible people are the enemies of humanity and they are purely evil.
But y'all just go wander in EDK's Free Market Fantasy Forest with the glibertarian teddy bears and "liberal-tarian" unicorns.
I'm sure the innovation of the market will yet save us all.

I'm not exactly following your comment about BJ and Sullivan, Freddie.
Are you saying that they've overdone it and their criticism is resembling -- or will soon become -- a kind of enforcement of rhetorical uniformity among anyone who isn't currently pro-GOP?
- April 9, 2011 at 9:17 PM
- scott said...
I followed the point. We have a choice. We can obey the increasingly shrill commands of people like the BJ crowd who insist that we still our disagreements and clap harder, or we can tell the powers that be that what they're doing isn't good enough. How do you think the conservatives got from people laughing at them fifty years ago to where they are today? They pushed and pushed and, if need be, punished their own guys if they didn't get what they wanted. As Americans, we pride ourselves on being hard-headed and pragmatic, but Dem voters strike me as the softest touch in the world. Politics is a transactional business, and it should be viewed that way, with a couple of overriding questions - what am I supposed to get if I vote for you, and will you commit to fighting for that? If the answers to those questions aren't satisfactory, then only suckers continue to pony up their support without getting anything back. Conservatives learned that a long time ago, to their profit. Why shouldn't we?
- April 9, 2011 at 10:12 PM
- Mysterious Man from the shadows said...
I don't think that's how Conservatives got where they are. I think it was more that Southern Democrats got mad about the Civil Rights act and middle-class people thought that the anti- Vietnam war protesters were weirdos, and thus they started voting for the people who weren't like them.
In other words, the Democrats base fell apart, and just went by default to the Republicans.
But, that's just my guess.

What does that have to do with criticizing andrew sullivan for supporting ryan's "plan"?
Those seem like separate points.

Forgive me for answering a question with a question, but-- what is the endpoint of that thinking? Consider how far it can take you.
Don't think that question can be faced - let alone understood.
Here's something to consider. The anarchist boycott of the Spanish elections resulted in a right wing government and indirectly in Franco.
I think that the correct expression is - you are screwed - and so is the Democratic Party. I don't know how the Democratic Party can survive this ever rightward march into overt fascism. At some point the base will rebel and stop voting for it.
There has been a bit of talk about the wonders of Parliamentary Democracy. I think that a bit of studying is in order before one touts its joys.
I live in a country where we have a parliamentary system based on first past the post. Lets just say that sometimes i think that yes it is better than the US system in the same way that the Democratic party is better than the Republican party.

- Jack Crow said...
Electoralism can only buttress teh system we have. Voting cannot negate or counter the influence of money, the capture of regulatory agencies, or the permanent hierarchies in the departments, the military and the various state and federal bureaucracies.
If you want to be taken seriously, you have to change the field of contest. You have to engage in conflict on ground of your own choosing.
The ballot box - like the criminal justice system - is their territory.
And they aren't afraid of the people who participate in its illusions and delusions of efficacy.
- April 10, 2011 at 3:08 AM
- Freddie said...
Sure, they're separate points, articulated in one post.
Matoko I have no earthly idea what you are criticizing me for. You appear to be mad that I'm not a)opposing Libya or b)responding to Wisconsin, when in fact I have done almost nothing but that for months. You're speaking as if I've changed my opinions since "the Culture11 days," but that simply isn't true. So I don't know what to tell you.
- April 10, 2011 at 8:30 AM
@#1, Chris: Back to Gore v. Bush again? That's old ground. But here's some facts for you: Tens of thousands of self identified Democrats in Florida voted for Bush; an order of magnitude greater number of Democrats didn't even bother to vote at all. But it's all the fault of a few Nader voters? That is pure bunk.
But for the sheer sake of argument, let us concede your point. Any rational analysis of politics would posit that such a "valuable" constituency would have some influence. Well that constituency has precisely zero influence. Go figure.
As long as you give your vote away for free, you will be a doormat.

Keep in mind that by 2016, Antonin Scalia will be 80, Anthony Kennedy will be 80, Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be 83, and Stephen Breyer will be 77. We could very well see more than one vacancy during the next presidential term. Personally, I'd rather see a replacement in the mold of Sotomayor/Kagan rather than Roberts/Alito.

I won't really address the "not voting for Obama" issue until you articulate it at greater length. You might even convince me, but it's unlikely.
But let me address the issue of Greenwald: I really don't know at this point what to think of him. On the one hand, he seems to me to be a consistent voice against torture, cruelty, and rights abuses. I agree with him on the moral bases of these issues. But there also seems to be a kind of... well, not slippery slope exactly. But extremity to his vision. It's as if we're on the verge of death squads roaming the countryside.
This is where my ambivalence comes in: History *has* told us that the government always abuses its power (cf. J. Edgar Hoover). But that same history has not produced a fascist state in America(yet).
I suppose what bothers me about your position is its absolutism. Yes, this issue is crucially important. Yes, this kind of power is an assault on decency and freedom. But are there really no differences between how Barack Obama and, say, Sarah Palin would use this power?
Maybe I'm wrong in asking that question--I haven't read Greenwald much of late, and he may have had compelling evidence in his talk. If so, I need to know what that is.

Curious whether Glenn telegraphed his decision respecting 2012. He of course, foresaw much of what you mention around civil liberties that is wrong with Obama, but endorsed him against McCain to the extent of saying that it was extremely important that Obama win (because it was the only outcome that would prevent a McCain presidency) nevertheless on completely separate grounds (abortion and other matters IIRC). Did Glenn issue a clear statement that he will not take a similar position when it comes to the general this year?

...err, next year?

Are you insane? The GOP is content to let birther spouting idiots like Trump be their champion and mean old Obama's so disheartening that you can't vote for him?
Republicans stand ready to rip away abortion, Medicare, Social Security, and pile even more tax breaks on for the wealthy, but you can't bring yourself to support the party fighting it.
Principled, courageous, and just plain dumb.
Only a dreamer expected a liberal messiah to rise up after the 2008 election, and in case you hadn't noticed so of you fellow progressives who fell out of love with Obama put the GOP in charge of the House eliminating what little support Obama had to begin with.
As a black man I can't afford the liberal fantasy of Barrack Obama charging up the hill singing "Joe Hill". I'll settle for someone who isn't actively trying to destroy the social safety net that's left.
All I know is you'll whine and cry if the GOP takes the White House about how bad it all is.

I guess I'll wait until you post your reasons for not supporting Obama in 2012 to respond. Or I won't bother, more likely. Taking on these kinds of arguments always feels like arguing over the existence of God, impossible to even agree on the terrain of debate. I believe the only way a person gets to the decision you indicate you've already made is to meet some a prior emotional need. In other words, it feels good to declare such an inane choice, take a side for once and for all and for all the world to see. Now I am sure you would not take kindly to such a view. I can understand how it would seem condescending. This is the reason I try to avoid arguments about both third party voting and religion. But the fact that you are announcing a decision about 2012 today, for who knows what reason, really ought to give you pause.
With respect to the narrower topic. I hope that you will read this judicial opinion - https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2010cv1469-31 - and not just rely on Greenwald. I'll admit that I stopped listening to Greenwald some time back when I caught him more than once flat out misrepresenting facts in reprehensible fashion on his blog. My sense is that he does this with some frequency and rarely if ever goes back to correct the record. He is a conclusions first, facts last kind of a guy, and find that I just don't have the patience for that anymore.
I have not yet read the whole opinion, BTW. I'll try to do it today. I wonder if you read it, what you would take away from it.

"All I know is you'll whine and cry if the GOP takes the White House about how bad it all is."
Exactly. And they'll never for a moment consider their own complicity in handing over the country to the loony right wing. Instead, they'll sit in a circle jerk and praise each other for their ideological purity.
Hey Freddie - sit out the 2012 election. And don't forget to welcome your new Republican overlords.
- April 13, 2011 at 3:24 PM
There are some ex-friends in Florida whose heads I'd still like to stuff in a toilet bowl even after 11 years since their "principled vote".
As a Latino male, I don't have the luxury of not voting against those who'd like to force me and my family out of "their country" even though we are citizens too...
- April 14, 2011 at 12:46 AM
- Mrs. Polly said...
But Anonymous, don't you see? What happens to you as a Latino, what happens to women and people of color, isn't nearly as important as this here principled fellow's righteousness. Alerting him to the likelihood that a TeaGOP presidency would result in disaster for fragile people already on the edge is intimidation of the worst, shrillest sort--why are Balloon Juicers so shrill?
Your well-being isn't nearly important as sending a message to the Democrats. Maybe in another eight years, when the Dems next get a chance to send in some poor schmoe to try, say, getting our troops out of the Republic of Georgia, Iran,Libya, Syria, and Venezuela, Freddie's message will ring loud and clear. This isn't about you; it's about Glenn Greenwald's dissatisfaction, because civil liberties under a President Huckabee would be so much better.
- April 14, 2011 at 4:07 AM
Just to start Fred, Glenn Greenwalds discussions of the Government's position on the Al-Awaqi case are not close to being true.
- April 22, 2011 at 7:02 PM
The second point is that left wing purists who don't know any history are doomed to repeat Ernst Thallman's error.

Before you head out to see the latest movie blockbuster this summer, check out Forbes' list of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses based on estimated earnings between June 2013 and June 2014.
No. 10: Kristen Stewart ($12 million)
With "Twilight" (pictured) in the past, Stewart is focused on moving past the role of Bella with upcoming films like "American Ultra" with Jesse Eisenberg and "Still Alice" with Julianne Moore.
No. 8 (tie): Amy Adams ($13 million)
Adams earned his fifth Oscar nomination for her role in "American Hustle," and entered the comic book world with her turn as Superman's love interest, Lois Lane, in this year's Superman reboot "Man of Steel."
No. 8: (tie) Natalie Portman ($13 million)
Although Portman took some time off she returned in a big way with the superhero sequel "Thor: The Dark World," which was a bigger hit than the first movie, earning $645 million at the global box office.
No. 7: Scarlett Johansson ($17 million)
She's been in the public eye since 1998's "The Horse Whisperer," but this is the first time Johansson has cracked Forbes' highest-paid list. That's due in large part to her recurring roles as Black Widow in the Marvel movies, as well as lucrative endorsement gigs.
No. 6: Cameron Diaz ($18 million)
Critics tore apart her recent movie, "The Other Woman," and Sony barely marketed it, but women came in droves and it earned $190 million at the global box office. It cost just $40 million to produce. Her 2011 film "Bad Teacher" also surprised with an amazing $216 million globally.
No. 5: Angelina Jolie ($18 million)
Jolie's face hadn't appeared on a movie screen since 2010's "Salt" and "The Tourist." But she made up for her time away with a big pay day for Disney's "Maleficent," a new spin on the Sleeping Beauty story released in July 2014.
No. 4: Gwyneth Paltrow ($19 million)
Paltrow's recurring role as Robert Downey Jr's girlfriend in the "Iron Man" franchise is where she earns her big bucks, but she also earns endorsement money from brands like Max Factor and Hugo Boss. And let's not forget her lifestyle website, Goop.
No. 3: Jennifer Aniston ($31 million)
Aniston has more recently starred in more low-key roles and movies like "Horrible Bosses" and "We're the Millers" (pictured), but she makes plenty of money from her endorsement deals with Vitamin Water and Aveeno skin care. She also still earns money from endless reruns of "Friends."
No. 2: Jennifer Lawrence ($34 million)
With three Oscar nominations and one win, Lawrence has become one of the most powerful actresses in Hollywood. It doesn't hurt to have a franchise like "The Hunger Games" under your belt either. It's become the most successful young adult franchise since "Twilight."
No. 1: Sandra Bullock ($51 million)
Bullock was a big reason that Warner Bros. had a huge hit with last year's "Gravity." The space thriller cost $100 million to produce and featured dazzling special effects, but it was Bullock's gripping performance as Ryan Stone that anchored its success. It also earned her an Oscar nomination.
