Shooting for the Sex and the City movie is underway. The hotly anticipated movie has already produced many exclusive photos of the gang's reunion. The SC ladies look hot and fashionable as ever. The movie's release is set for May 2008.
Alicia Silverstone is working with PETA to promote vegetarianism in a bare-all advertisement. Silverstone gave her vegan testimonial on PETA's website saying, "Once I went vegan, I lost the weight I wanted to lose, my nails were stronger, and my skin was glowing. I feel great, and I look better now than I did 11 years ago."
Many bloggers are talking about the "cluelessness" involved in posing nude for a vegan ad. Alex Bagg's post on BestWeekEver produced many comments from readers who believed the celebrity was truely clueless.
"I can see plenty of naked people without giving up meat. "
"Someone drape a fur coat over her naked self."
"Anyone have some bbq sauce?"
As a meat-eater, I can't say that Silverstone's nudity has inspired me to change my ways. However, the ad has inspired me to visit the gym more frequently!
A University of Florida Student was tasered and arrested Monday after asking questions at a John Kerry Question and Answer campus forum, according to FoxNews.
Andrew Meyer, 21, asked questions in a forum held by the Univeristy of Florida's student government speaker's bureau about why John Kerry did not protest President Bush winning the election, if he wanted to be president, and why Bush had not been impeached.
Steve Orlando, a spokesman for the university, said, "He apparently asked several questions — he went on for quite awhile — then he was asked to stop. He had used his allotted time. His microphone was cut off then he became upset."
Meyer yelled for help, asking "What did I do?" as four police officers tried to remove him from the forum. Meyer was tasered minutes after speaking. Alachua County Jail records said that Meyer was charged with disturbing the peace and resisting an officer. University police are conducting an internal investigation on the incident.
"The police department does have a standard procedure for when they use force, including when they use a Taser," Orlando said. "That is what the internal investigation would address — whether the proper procedures were followed, whether the officers acted appropriately."
Students were able to catch the incident on video.
In my opinion, the grounds for arresting Meyer were uncalled for. Because Meyer asked not one but three or more controversial questions, the police pulled him away from the microphone. At what point did asking argumentative questions become apart of the "disturbing the peace" charge?
Although its apparent in the video that Meyer resisted arrest, I think the use of the taser was excessive. Just before being tasered, Meyer said to the police, "if you let me go, I'll walk out of here...just don't taser me!"
Meyer resisted a baseless arrest, and for that, he was tasered. I wonder if the University of Florida considers this to be a valuable lesson for other students, that if you ask the wrong questions, you'll be arrested and possibly tasered.
No, I'm not talking about the UCA Bears, I'm talking about Yahoo! announcing its newest, Purple Award. The award will be given to artists whose songs were played 10 million times on Yahoo! Music. Instead of a frame with platinum or gold albums, Yahoo! is offering this... Giant Purple Headphones!
In this post, Yahoo! is acknowledging the fact that album sales have continue to lower as the accessibility of music on the internet has increased. Yahoo! plans to give artists the credit they deserve by researching song plays thoroughly through third party companies, making sure each play lasted for 60 seconds or more.
There is no doubt that the American Music Awards, Video Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards will always be apart of the music industry. But will the advancement of technology push the music industry to incorporate the Yahoo! Music awards or even the Limewire Music Awards? If that's the case shouldn't the award represent a set of computer speakers rather than headphones?
As many college students know, the Video Music Awards plays a huge role in pop culture circles. It's not only an event where you can find your favorite pop musicians performing live and accepting awards, but it's also a platform for some of our favorite actors, actresses, and comedians.
This year, Britney Spears was one of the most anticipated performances due to her eradict, public behavior since her split with Kevin Federline. Everyone was waiting to see what "crazy" Britney was going to do next.
As many suspected, her "comeback" performance disappointed many fans with her awkward dance moves, poor appearance, and obvious lip-syncing. Many critics jumped at the chance to point out the flaws in her performance.
A crazed Britney fan, Chris Crocker, came to her defense in a YouTube video that has been shown on popular websites such as Myspace, The Superficial, and Digg.
"Leave Britney Alone" has quickly become the most watched video circulating the web. It's definitely worth watching, more so than Britney's actual VMA performance!
