| H&M (plus Walmart) caves in; will donate unused clothes to the Ke$has of NYC |
[08 Jan 2010|04:19am] |
This week the New York Times reported a disheartening story about two of the largest retail chains. You see, instead of taking unsold items to sample sales or donating them to people in need, H&M and Wal-Mart have been throwing them out in giant trash bags. And in the case that someone may stumble on these bags and try to keep or re-sell the items, these companies have gone ahead and slashed up garments, cut off the sleeves of coats, and sliced holes in shoes so they are unwearable.
This unsettling discovery was made by graduate student Cynthia Magnus outside the back entrance of H&M on 35th street in New York City. Just a few doors down, she also found hundreds of Wal-Mart tagged items with holes made in them that were dumped by a contractor. On December 7, she spotted 20 bags of clothing outside of H&M including, "gloves with the fingers cut off, warm socks, cute patent leather Mary Jane school shoes, maybe for fourth graders, with the instep cut up with a scissor, men’s jackets, slashed across the body and the arms. The puffy fiber fill was coming out in big white cotton balls.”
The New York Times points out that one-third of the city's population is poor, which makes this behavior not only wasteful and sad, but downright irresponsible. Wal-Mart spokeswoman, Melissa Hill, acted surprised that these items were found, claiming they typically donate all unworn merchandise to charity. When reporters went around the corner from H&M to a collections drop-off for charity organization New York Cares, spokesperson Colleen Farrell said, “We’d be glad to take unworn coats, and companies often send them to us."
After several days of no response from H&M, the company made a statement today, promising to stop destroying the garments at the midtown Manhattan location. They said they will donate the items to charity. H&M spokeswoman Nicole Christie said, "It will not happen again," and that the company would make sure none of the other locations would do so either. Hopefully that's the final word.

[07 Jan 2010|11:41pm] |
So basically the Paley Center for Media is like a museum for TV shows. They have panels like Comic-Con and people get to ask questions after a moderator asks questions about the shows, their developments, the cast, etc etc.
Today, they had a panel that featured the cast of the TV show How I Met Your Mother. People who had tickets got to watch a screening of the 100th episode and ask questions, etc. If you want to read about the highlights of the panel, click here (it's their twitter - they had live updates as the panel was going on).
Every year Paley has a thing called PaleyFest, which features a bunch of panels for hit TV shows. So far, the Paley Center has added these shows to the PaleyFest 2010 line-up: Modern Family, LOST, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Glee, The Vampire Diaries and Dexter. The full line-up will be announced on their website at 01/20/10, so remember to check for that. Member tickets go on sale 01/22/10, and general public tickets go on sale 01/24/10.
In the past, the Paley Center has featured TV shows like House, True Blood, Parks & Recreation, Community, Pushing Daisies, Gossip Girl, Mad Men, Fringe, Big Love, The Hills, 90210, Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Ugly Betty, Monk, and more. To see past videos of these panels, visit their website or their YouTube channel!
Also, Paley Center actually has a location in NY, too, but idk what is happening there.

I went to one of these things for Parks & Recreation and I actually got tickets really late and they ended up being closed-circuit, meaning I had to watch the whole thing in a room. But after it was over they all came out and took pictures and stuff. Aziz was hilarious. I wanted to meet Amy of course but she dodged out of there from the back door I think. Met Paul Schneider, the guy who plays Mark (Ann's boyfriend). He insisted on taking a picture with me and my friend lol. "Cool! I got both of my chins in the picture!"

| 'Bachelor' Contestant Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Producer |
[08 Jan 2010|01:54am] |
 The 'Bachelor' contestant dismissed from the reality show for an alleged affair with a producer insists, "I did not have a sexual relationship with a producer on the show." In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Rozlyn Papa says that 'The Bachelor' execs fired her for an "inappropriate relationship" with a producer, but "what they mean by inappropriate relationship is not what inappropriate relationship means in the real world."
The episode depicting Papa's termination from 'The Bachelor' will air January 11, during the season's second episode, but the 28-year-old model insists that her actions have been exaggerated by the show. "I had a relationship with someone on the show that didn't benefit them," she says of the producers.
"This is a TV show and it's made for entertainment, but it is a far cry from reality," Papa explains. "I know that things on television weren't always as they seemed, but I had no idea the extent of the show manipulation."
Papa is no longer dating the producer, who was also fired, but she claims they have remained close. 'The Bachelor' host Chris Harrison said after the two were fired, "It was an incident that we've never had to deal with before. It was tough for everyone, the crew, the women and Jake. Hopefully we can quickly move past this and it won't dominate the season. But definitely everyone will see what happens."
Harrison continued, "An unfortunate decision was made by one of the girls and one of the crew members and the rest you'll have to watch and see."
Papa disagrees. "I am going to hold my head high, I do not regret anything that happened," she says.

FFFUUUUU HOOK EM HORNS OMG NOOOOO |

The LAPD investigation into Michael Jackson's death has been completed and the case will go the D.A. within weeks, law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... and, we're told, it's all but certain Dr. Conrad Murray will be criminally charged in MJ's death.
Our sources say detectives completed their investigation late last month and the case will be formally presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney as soon as scheduling allows. Turns out ... the presentation will draw quite the crowd. A number of members of the LAPD and the D.A.'s office will be present, and finding a date when everyone can show is a little tricky ... but we're told it will happen in a matter of weeks.
One very informed source says the LAPD investigation was "exhaustive" and "extremely thorough" and the D.A. has enough evidence to pull the trigger on a criminal case against Dr. Murray. That said, we're told the case is complicated, in part because Dr. Murray did not break any laws in administering Propofol to Jackson.
One law enforcement source connected with the case notes the D.A. has been actively working with the LAPD and it's all but certain the case will be filed. As for the charge -- a decision has not been made, but our sources say the likelihood is involuntary manslaughter, which requires a showing of gross negligence.

| NBC to Conan O'Brien -- The Choice Is Yours |
[08 Jan 2010|12:29am] |
NBC has given Conan O'Brien the option to either do his show from midnight to 1 or leave the network, sources tell TMZ.
As TMZ first reported, after the Olympics, Jay Leno will get his 11:30 PM time period back. We're told network execs have told Conan they will let him decide if he wants the midnight to 1:00 AM time slot. If he does, Leno's show will only be a half hour. If Conan walks, Leno will get a full hour, informed sources tell TMZ.
Our sources say Conan has not decided what he wants. We do know he's pissed, because he was given no advanced warning this was coming. Conan's people told NBC they are considering the offer. Translation: Mr. O'Brien -- I have Rupert Murdoch on line one, Stephen McPherson on line two, John Landgraf on line three, Jeff Wachtel on line four ...
We're told if Conan gets another offer, even though NBC could block the move, they will let him go and give Leno the full hour.
Stay tuned ...

| An Old Bitch Adopts a Child |
[07 Jan 2010|07:53pm] |
Actress Jean Smart welcomed a new baby to the family in 2009 as she and her husband Richard Gilliland adopted a 10-month-old girl named Bonnie from China.
The 58-year-old star broke the big news during an appearance yesterday on The Bonnie Hunt Show, revealing that she, her husband and their 19-year-old son Connor traveled to China last year to bring home their daughter Bonnie, who is now 18 months.
Despite their 18 year age difference the proud mom says that her son and daughter are "so smitten," but laughingly adds, "We thought they were going to be closer in age when we first started this!"
Jean is best known for her work on TV series such as Designing Women, 24 and Samantha Who?

China actually has an age restriction for anyone over 50 that cannot adopt a child younger than 2; however, they let the age range slide when adopting a child with special needs.

| Deadpool Movie Gets The Dark Comedy Writers That Wade Deserves |
[07 Jan 2010|08:20pm] |
Fans of loopy banter and insane violence rejoice — Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, of Zombieland fame, are writing the Deadpool movie. This means the "Merc with a Mouth" film could actually be clever.
Variety announced that Fox has selected Zombieland writers Reese and Wernick to bring Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool film to life.
While there's "no timetable" set the trade speculates that if the script is done by the summer, Reynolds will already be in superhero shape from filming Green Lantern and has a window of opportunity, so what's to stop a quick turnover? Well besides piling two Ryan Reynolds comic book movie releases on top of each other that is.
The writers stated that they wanted to stay true to the mythology of Deadpool, and if their previous Zombieland work is any indication of their wit, then they are a perfect fit for the fourth-wall-breaking, Bea Arthur-loving character.

| Simon Cowell Signs Paula Abdul To $4.5 Million-A-Year Contract With “The X Factor?” |
[07 Jan 2010|09:53pm] |
Get ready for another season of Simon and Paula’s signature bickering — on the US adaptation of The X Factor.
Paula Abdul has allegedly inked a $4.5 million contract to bring her loopy commentary to the judges panel on an American version of Simon’s hit UK talent show, The X Factor. That’s interesting, considering the star walked away from her post at American Idol because she failed to secure the $10 million-a-year payday she was vying for.
Apparently, Paula isn’t very good at gambling, is she?
A FOX tipster revealed to The National Enquirer’s Mike Walker: “Simon flew Paula to London and wined and dined her relentlessly over the course of several days, even introducing her to everyone who works on X Factor. But what really clinched the deal was Simon’s pledge that she wouldn’t have to deal with all the nonsense and infighting that she hated on Idol.”
The X Factor America will premiere in 2011.

The group will be joined by a panel of eminent scientists and thinkers who've been working on bringing desperately needed clean water to developing nations around the globe, and their climb will be chronicled in a 90-minute documentary slated to air March 14 at 9 p.m. on MTV.

| Don't Bring Beyonce Now: Fete promoters think concert will hurt Carnival 2010 |
[07 Jan 2010|07:22pm] |
Don’t bring Beyonce to Trinidad and Tobago now.
That’s the cry of fete and Carnival show promoters as well as panmen and calypsonians who are also calling on TSTT CEO, Roberto Peon, to explain what is the company’s intention towards Carnival 2010 and beyond in light of the concert featuring the American R&B singer immediately after Carnival on Thursday, February 18.
The concerned parties are delivering a petition to Peon requesting a meeting with him signed by among others, promoter Frank Martineau, mas bandleaders Big Mike Antoine and Ronnie MacIntosh, Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisation general secretary Lutalo ’Brother Resistance’ Masimba and former CEO of the Caribbean Prestige Foundation, Gregory Fernandes, who is spearheading the move to secure the sitdown.
’We want to discuss with TSTT the position they have taken to present Beyonce in concert so soon after Carnival and their decision to cut back and even pull sponsorship of Carnival events. We understand they have also cancelled the B-Square concert series at Woodford Square for this year. TSTT has contributed greatly to Carnival over the years and this is a surprise move. We want to know what their commitment to Carnival is,’ Fernandes said.

| Gloriana Go 'Far' in 2010! |
[07 Jan 2010|08:35pm] |
The members of Gloriana have noticed an immediate impact from winning the Breakthrough Artist of the Year trophy at the most recent American Music Awards.
"You don't realizing how many people are watching those TV shows; you win an award and you start going places," the group's Mike Gossin tells Billboard.com. "It's funny now; going to airports, people recognize us a lot more -- everywhere we go, really. They're like, 'Oh, I saw you win that award.' It was one of the highlights for this band so far. Cross our fingers, hopefully we'll win a lot more."
Gloriana -- Gossin, his older brother Tom, Rachel Reinert and Cheyenne Kimball -- was already off to a good start even before the AMAs. Its self-titled debut album, released in August, reached No. 2 on the Hot Country Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200, while the single "Wild at Heart" was a Top 15 hit. The group's second single, "How Far Do You Wanna Go?," is currently climbing the charts.

Former Playboy pin-up Cindy Margolis knows a thing or two about infertility, having given birth to her three children through IVF and later authoring the book “Having a Baby… When the Old-Fashioned Way Isn’t Working.”
Now she's bringing the idea to television with her new dating reality show, “Seducing Cindy,” to debut on the FOX Reality Channel on January 30.
“I am the spokesperson for Resolve, the National Infertility Association, so we could get away with it. We had one competition where the guys had to go through what I went through and give a sperm sample,” Margolis told Tarts. “It was interesting to have 25 guys go off into a room and bring you back a sperm sample. Clinically, I know how to test sperm, and I tested each of the guy’s sperm on my show. It was the craziest thing.”
The dating reality show has men aged 18-49 competing in a range of interesting competitions in the hope of scoring Margolis’s hand in love. And according to the upcoming reality starlet, the guys were happy to go through with the “sperm” game.

| Khloe Kardashian: I'd "Beat the Crap" Out of a Girl Who Hit on Lamar |
[07 Jan 2010|07:27pm] |
Ladies, don't get any ideas of hitting on Khloe Kardashian's husband, Los Angeles Laker Lamar Odom.
"If I even imagined someone talking to my husband too close, I would beat the crap out of them," the reality star, 25, tells The Insider.
Though they are trying to have a baby now, she stressed that she is not currently pregnant. "I just gained some love weight and it gives [Lamar] something to hold on to," she says. (She previously told UsMagazine.com that she gained seven pounds since wedding in September. "I just haven't been working out as much and eating badly," she told Us. "My husband is known as the candy man. All he does is eat candy, and I join in and that's not great. But now we're settled in and bought a house, and I'm back to my routine," which includes QuickTrim.)
She tells The Insider Lamar "is really eager to have a baby and I wanna have babies. I just got married four months ago, I'm not doing anything to prevent having a baby right now."
Sister Kim says she isn't quite ready for that step with on-again beau Reggie Bush.
"There's no plan as of now to get married," says Kim, 29. "We've been together for years and we're just having a good, happy relationship."
Despite both being in committed relationships, they still have their celeb crushes.
Kim says "it would be really sexy to have George Clooney once. I think he is so sexy!"
Khloe's fantasy guy?
"I would totally say Obama," she said. "Like, I would do it for our country."

Breaking News: When People look at Angelina Jolie, her clothes are not the first thing they notice
You know how Brad Pitt looks with his beard right now? How when you look at his face all you can focus on is how long and scraggly and weirdly matted it is on the ends? And how you just wish he'd get rid of it so you could enjoy the bottom line — his gorgeous face? St. John has similar feelings about having Angelina Jolie in their ads. Just like when you look at Brad's face all you see is his beard, they have realized then when you look at St. John ads all you see is Angelina Jolie. But that shan't continue for spring! The label is dismissing her since she "overshadowed" the brand, St. John's CEO tells WWD: “We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette.”
So they hired redhead model Karen Elson, shot by photographer Greg Kadel. "We have evolved," the CEO boasts.

The ads will be missed, but I'm sure Jolie's upcoming ads for Armani will be better.
