Bouchard surrounded by family_Emile (Butch) Bouchard, a longtime Montreal Canadiens captain and four-time Stanley Cup winner, died Saturday. He was 92.

Friend and sports analyst Ron Fournier says Bouchard was surrounded by his family when he died.

The defenceman scored 49 goals in 785 games during his 15-year NHL career, captaining the Habs for eight seasons before retiring in 1956.

The Canadiens won the Stanley Cup four times while Bouchard was with the team, twice while he was captain.

"He was one of the great captains in the history of the Canadiens," Rejean Houle, the Habs alumni president, who played with the Canadiens in the 1970s and 80s, said in an interview Saturday.

"It was a period where the team really became a dynasty."

Greg Ham found dead home did not appear suspicious under investigation_Greg Ham, a member of the Australian band Men at Work whose saxophone and flute punctuated its smash 1980s hits, was found dead in his Melbourne home on Thursday.
Police said the death did not appear to be suspicious, though the cause was not immediately known. A friend who found Ham's body said he hadn't been the same since 2010, when a court ruled that his signature flute riff from the song Down Under had been stolen from a classic campfire song.
Victoria state police confirmed that the deceased was the 58-year-old resident of Ham's house but did not identify him by name, in keeping with local practice. Ham was 58 and neighbours said he was the lone occupant of the house.

"He passed away peacefully at 1:30 this afternoon surrounded by his friends and bandmates," Larry Campbell, a longtime guitarist with Helm, told Rolling Stone. "All his friends were there, and it seemed like Levon was waiting for them. Ten minutes after they left we sat there and he just faded away. He did it with dignity. It was even two days ago they thought it would happen within hours, but he held on. It seems like he was Levon up to the end, doing it the way he wanted to do it. He loved us, we loved him."

LeRoy T. Walker_LeRoy T. Walker (June 14, 1918 – April 23, 2012) was the first black president of the United States Olympic Committee. In the 1996 Olympics, Dr. Walker was delegated to lead a 10,000 member group of the most talented athletes in the world. His goal was to make sure that American citizens have a feeling of ownership in the program,
“We ought to keep them informed. We ought to let them know what the Olympic movement is all about and what’s happening to the dollars that they give,”

Chris Ethridge hospital pancreatic cancer_Members of the International Submarine Band chose a name for their new group that practically ensured it would never rise above cult status, and sure enough, that band disappeared with barely a trace after making a handful of recordings in the mid-1960s.

But after ISB members Gram Parsons and Chris Ethridge teamed up with ex-Byrds singer and songwriter Chris Hillman and steel guitarist Pete Kleinow, the pioneering country-rock group the Flying Burrito Brothers was born and the ISB won permanent footnote status in the history of pop music.
Ethridge, who died at age 65 on Monday at a hospital in Meridian, Miss., of complications from pancreatic cancer, was the group's original bassist and co-wrote several songs with Parsons, widely lauded as one of the most innovative figures in the marriage of country and rock in the 1960s. Ethridge also spent about eight years in Willie Nelson's touring band, a gig during which he recorded one of Nelson's most famous anthems, "Whiskey River."

Australian Flautist Ham_Men At Work flautist Greg Ham struggled to come to terms with the implications of a messy plagiarism case in the months before his death, one of his closest friends has confirmed.

Ham's body was found in his home in the Melbourne suburb of Carlton North when friends went to check on him late on Thursday morning.

A post-mortem examination was completed on Friday afternoon with authorities ruling his death as non-suspicious.

This morning Men At Work frontman Colin Hay told ABC Local Radio that Ham had been "hit very hard" by a court's ruling that the band plagiarised the distinctive flute riff in their worldwide hit Down Under.

Ham, who joined the band in 1979, played the riff which a court ruled had been lifted from Kookaburra, a song which was written in 1934 by Australian schoolteacher Marion Sinclair for a Girl Guides competition.

America's oldest teenager_Iconic television star and producer Dick Clark, whose youthful looks and vigor gained him the nickname "America's Oldest Teenager" as he built an "American Bandstand" gig into an entertainment empire, has died of a heart attack, his publicist said. He was 82.
The same youthfulness that helped score him the hosting duties on "Bandstand" also powered him through six workaholic decades of profoundly influencing both music and television. He played a huge part in popularizing rock 'n' roll, helped Americans mark each year for three decades, and had a hand in shows from the various incarnations of "Pyramid" to the Golden Globes telecast.

Kanye Wardrobe Malfunction Km K, Looks like the "sagging" trend has reached an all-time low.

Just days after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were caught holding hands in New York, the pair was snapped out and about in the Big Apple again, with the loquacious rapper having quite the wardrobe malfunction.

After Kardashian and West dined at N62 restaurant in Manhattan Friday night, West stepped out of his Maybach with his pants down, exposing his thigh.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star seemed oblivious to the fashion snafu as she strolled to West's Manhattan apartment wearing similar leather pants and Christian Louboutin stilettos. Luckily, West must have felt a breeze: He quickly pulled them back up.

While the duo has yet to confirm that they're indeed a couple, it's safe to say this latest sighting (along with Kim's "KW" initial earrings) won't do much to quell the Kimye chatter.

Rodney King Trayvon My Attack Video---Anyone considering violence as vengeance for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin should think twice, Rodney King told the Daily News.

Speaking days before the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots, the icon of police brutality weighed in on reports that a Chicago teen admitted jumping a white man last week because he was enraged over Martin's alleged murder.

1937 Nikumaroro landing gear photo, Will a new look at an old photo finally provide the break needed to solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart? We could find out in July, when an expedition dubbed Niku 7, The Earhart Project, leaves for the deep waters of the Pacific off the island of Nikumaroro, in the Republic of Kiribati. Whatever is found, we're sure the Earhart mystique will continue. The aviator was far ahead of her time when she began setting records. But history seems to remember her most for the ending of her life, when she and navigator Fred Noonan, with Earhart in the middle photo at right, were lost somewhere over the Pacific.

Facebook Buys Instagram for $1 billion, Facebook announced Monday that it will buy Instagram, a popular mobile-only photo-sharing app, for $1 billion.
Instagram has garnered attention as its user base increased rapidly, from 1 million users in January 2011 to 15 million in December 2011, and 30 million users now, according to Business Insider. It marks Facebook's largest ever acquisition of a company or product by number of users.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a press release the site is "committed to building and growing Instagram independently," adding that Facebook plans on preserving users' ability to post to other social networks, to opt out of sharing Instagrams on Facebook, and to have followers separate from a Facebook account.

Taver Johnson Arkansas, University of Arkansas football head coach Bobby Petrino has announced the hiring of Taver Johnson as assistant head coach/linebackers coach. Johnson comes to Arkansas from Ohio State where he spent five seasons as cornerbacks coach before being retained following the Buckeyes’ coaching staff change in December of 2011.

“Taver is an extremely enthusiastic and devoted coach,” said Coach Petrino. “He has a strong work ethic, is a great teacher of the game and is skillful at relating to his players. During his time at Ohio State, he became familiar with the principles Coach (Paul) Haynes has worked to incorporate here. He has also been a part of a program with a culture of consistently winning and will be instrumental in preparing our players to compete for championships.”

During his five seasons in Columbus, Ohio State put together a record of 50-15 that included four straight Big Ten titles and BCS appearances. Johnson helped produce 2008 Jim Thorpe Award winner Malcolm Jenkins who was a two-time first-team All-Big Ten performer. The Buckeyes had three cornerbacks selected in the NFL Drafts between 2008-11, led by Jenkins as the 14th overall pick by New Orleans in 2009. Ohio State had three different cornerbacks earn four first-team All-Big Ten honors under Johnson.

Hoodie March for Trayvon, The parents of a black teenager shot to death by a Hispanic neighborhood watch captain in Florida told hundreds of people at a march in his memory on Wednesday that they won't stop until they get justice for him.

"My son did not deserve to die," the teenager's father, Tracy Martin, said after thanking the crowd.

Martin's son, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, was killed Feb. 26, in Sanford, Fla. He was returning to a gated community in the city after buying candy at a convenience store. He was unarmed and was wearing a hooded sweat shirt, called a hoodie.

The neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman, has not been charged in the shooting. Zimmerman has said the teen attacked him and he shot him in self-defense.

On Wednesday night, demonstrators chanted "we want arrests" during the Million Hoodie March in Manhattan's Union Square.

The teen's mother, Sybrina Fulton, told the crowd: "My heart is in pain, but to see the support of all of you really makes a difference."

Wyclef Tribute to Trayvon, Wyclef Jean has recorded a new tribute song dedicated to slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.

The African-American student's death at the hands of Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman in February sparked outrage and protests across the U.S., with stars like Cher, Mia Farrow, Russell Simmons and Sean 'Diddy' Combs calling for the killer's arrest.

Zimmerman, 28, has since been charged with second-degree murder and, on Friday, a judge placed him on $150,000 bail.

Last month, Chaka Khan recruited celebrity friends Eric Benet, Kelly Price and Kenny Lattimore to re-record her track Super Life in honor of the dead teen, and now Wyclef Jean has paid tribute to the boy with his own original tune, Justice (If You're 17) Tribute for Trayvon Martin.

Introducing the song's video to fans on Twitter, Jean writes, "We need justice for Trayvon!!! This is my tribute for him".

Norway Youth Camp Victims, Tens of thousands of Norwegians gathered on Thursday in an Oslo square near the courthouse where the Anders Behring Breivik trial is taking place, waving roses and Norwegian flags and singing a song that the mass killer had described as Marxist "brainwashing."

Agence France-Presse reports the crowd of an estimated 40,000 people could be heard singing "Children of the Rainbow" by Norwegian folk singer Lillebjoern Nilsen. The popular children’s song, an adaptation from American folk singer Pete Seeger’s "My Rainbow Race," includes the following chorus: "Together, we will live, each sister and each brother, small children of the rainbow and a green earth.”

During his testimony last week, Breivik called the song symbolic of the "brainwashing of Norwegian pupils” and said Nilsen was "a very good example of a Marxist." (Nilsen, meanwhile, says the song is actually about protecting the environment.)

Breivik’s comments prompted two Norwegians to organize the Thursday event at the square, which is also adjacent to the Labour Party headquarters that Breivik bombed last year, killing 8, before going on to a nearby island where he killed 69 people at a Labour Party youth camp.

Anders Behring Breivik, Anders Behring Breivik is standing trial for the killing of 77 people in dual terror attacks last summer in Norway. The trial has garnered international attention due to the scale of those attacks, Mr. Breivik's unusual manifesto, and the deliberations over his sanity. Here is a roundup of opinions on the trial and the attention it has received from Norway, Europe, Australia, and the US.

“For his fellow citizens, starting with the survivors and families of the dead, the trial is about resisting the temptation to take revenge, to trust to justice and to build up the antibodies to ensure that Breivik has no emulators.

It is thus a challenge for Europeans, since the media coverage of the Anders Breivik trial and the nature of the procedure (advertising the hearing, freedom of speech for the accused) have offered his ideas a soap box – ‘a trial is a golden opportunity,’ Breivik wrote in the manifesto he posted on the internet before the attacks – that extend well beyond Norway.

president's colombia trip will boost us trade, On his way to Colombia for the Summit of the Americas, President Barack Obama told port workers in Tampa, Florida, his meetings with Latin American leaders will help promote U.S. trade.

Obama started his trip Friday with a tour of the busy Port of Tampa, where he told workers the United States is likely to meet his goal of doubling its exports by the end of 2014.

"Today, with the trade agreements that I signed into law, we are on track to meet that goal. Soon there are going to be millions of new customers for American goods in South Korea, in Colombia, in Panama."

U.S. business leaders will be watching to see whether the president announces that Colombia has met the labor rights conditions in the free trade agreement Congress passed and Obama signed last year.

Friday's trip to Florida was the second for the president this week. Florida is the fourth most-populous U.S. state, and the largest of the so-called "swing states," where this year’s presidential election is likely to be decided. With the state of the economy a big issue in the campaign, Obama said his work at the summit in Cartagena will help American goods reach growing markets to the south.

Colombian Escort Speaks Out, Actually, this appears to have been less a dispute about money than about status.

There was a language gap between the 24-year-old woman, who declined to give her full name, and the American man who sat beside her all night and eventually invited her back to his room. She agreed, stopped on the way to buy condoms but told him he would have to give her a gift. He asked how much. Not knowing he worked for Mr. Obama but figuring he was a well-heeled foreigner, she said she told him $800.

The price alone, she said, indicates that she is an escort, not a prostitute. “You have higher rank,” she said. “An escort is someone who a man can take out to dinner. She can dress nicely, wear nice makeup, speak and act like a lady. That’s me.”

By 6:30 the next morning, after being awoken by a telephone call from the hotel front desk reminding her that, under the hotel’s rules for prostitutes, she had to leave, whatever deal the two had agreed on had broken down. She recalled that the man told her he had been drunk when they discussed the price. He countered with an offer of 50,000 pesos, the equivalent of about $30…

Ann Romney Multiple Sclerosis, Ann Romney had “a little bit of a scare” involving her multiple sclerosis before Super Tuesday, she told “Entertainment Tonight” in an interview set to be broadcast Thursday evening.

Mrs. Romney, the wife of Mitt Romney, received a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 1998, and has learned to largely control her disease through a combination of diet, exercise and horse therapy. But she told Nancy O’Dell of “Entertainment Tonight” that in the days leading up to Super Tuesday — a day in early March when 10 states held votes — she “was quite fatigued.”

“I knew I couldn’t quit,” Mrs. Romney said. “I didn’t tell anybody I was tired.”

She continued: “You know, what happens with me is that I start to almost lose my words. I almost can’t think. I can’t get my words out. I start to stumble a little bit, and so those things were happening and I thought, ‘Uh oh, big trouble.’ ”

Mrs. Romney keeps her own campaign schedule, appearing at her own events and alongside her husband, and she is expected to ramp up her presence on the trail in coming months. But she has also managed to steal some time off the trail, often to ride horses, including a 10-day break after the Illinois primary.

Hilary Rosen Ann Romney, Less than 24 hours after Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen mocked Ann Romney for having "never worked a day in her life," Rosen apologized to Romney this afternoon for her "poorly chosen" words and aimed to "put the faux 'war against stay at home moms' to rest once and for all."

"I apologize to Ann Romney and anyone else who was offended," Rosen said in a statement. "Let's declare peace in this phony war and go back to focus on the substance."

Former first lady Barbara Bush commended her apology, echoing Rosen's plea and saying people should "forget it."

"Life is good," Bush said on Fox News today. "Women who stay home are wonderful, women who go to work are wonderful. Whatever."

Bush, who worked at home raising seven children, one of whom would go on to become the 43rd president, said she was lucky to have had the luxury of staying home.

"I was lucky my husband worked very, very hard," Bush said. "I realize that was a luxury and Ann does, too. She's a very good friend of mine."

The former first lady added, "I'm not critical of Hilary, but I'm just sorry that she took a knock at those of us who chose and were able, I must confess, able is a very important part of that, to stay home and take care of their children."

Rodney King anniversary 2012, This Sunday marks the 20th anniversary of the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. Some black community activists see significant progress, but others see a long way to go.

Hulk Hogan tape, After fighting accusations that he was involved in an alleged sex tape, former WWE and WCW star Hulk Hogan now has to deal with the release of photos from the alleged indiscretions.

Black Sports Online offers three of the grainy photos, but they are not suitable for work.

While it’s almost impossible to tell if this is really Hogan or not, the damage that it did to his already sullied reputation is nothing major. As bad as the situation is for Hogan and his relationship with the people close to him, no one else cares about the former wresting legend.
If you are wondering where Hulk Hogan is now, the former wrestling juggernaut is currently stealing a weekly paycheck from TNA Wrestling, where he has become nothing more than a face to march onto their weekly TV episodes.

Hogan has officially become a joke in most wrestling fans' eyes. The rest of the world looks down on wrestling anyway, so to say that Hulk has no respect from anyone right now is an understatement.

Predictions About the Future that Came True – The only way we ever create something is by coming up with the idea in the first place so it is no surprise that many predictions eventually become reality. However some things are predicted with amazing accuracy years before a hint of their existence.

Star Trek was a particularly forward thinking show and had a lot of sci-fi objects and items that are now real objects. The small communicators are incredibly close to flip phones as one example. A lot of people are holding out for the transporters and Science is working hard on bringing something similar to life!

One particular man who gets a lot of respect is Arthur C Clarke. He is credited with coming up with the idea of Satellites and how they would work revolving with the earth. In the video below from 1974 he tells a kid that every family will have a computer at home in 2001 and predicts something extremely like the internet! Awesome stuff!

Airport stripper says he was nude not lewd, A high-tech worker who stripped naked at Portland International Airport as a protest against airport security screeners said Wednesday he was being "nude but not lewd," and characterized his act of defiance as protected political speech.

John E. Brennan, 49, of Portland was charged with disorderly conduct and indecent exposure after taking off far more than this belt and shoes during the screening process before a Tuesday evening flight to San Jose, Calif. The incident report from the Port of Portland, which operates the airport, said some passengers covered their eyes and the eyes of their children. Others laughed and took photos. The disorderly conduct charge was dropped at Brennan's arraignment Wednesday.

Brennan said in an interview that he did not arrive at the airport with the intention of getting naked. He said the Transportation Security Administration crosses the line between privacy and security. He decided to protest after he was pulled aside after going through the metal detector and a pat-down, he said.

Woman Heart Attack Grill, What do you expect when you go to a restaurant that specializes in food designed to kill you? Sometimes, a customer dies, but mostly they just go to the hospital. Why isn’t a bookie setting odds and taking bets?

In case you hadn’t heard, and you shouldn’t really have been listening anywhere you could have heard about this-the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, Nevada made the news recently for a health-related story.

The headline at Huffington Post said it all: “Heart Attack Grill Customer Collapses While Eating Double Bypass Burger, Smoking.” Actually, she was also drinking a margarita. Well, I’ve had some killer margaritas, but I kinda think it was the Double Bypass Burger that sent the poor woman to the ground, unconscious. Thankfully, she is recovering in a hospital-and hopefully, not licking her licks as she eagerly awaits a return visit to hamburger heaven.

Earlier this year, as reported also by the LA Times and ABC News, a customer reportedly had a heart attack while eating the Triple Bypass Burger. In case you are wondering how far this mad-cow-ness goes, the Quad version set the Guinness World Record for “Highest Calorie Hamburger” and topples in at a whopper-ing almost 10,000 calories. Hate to think about the fat content.

1 dead, 100 injured as storm packing huge hail overturns tent at St. Louis sports bar, ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- A storm blasting through the city blew away a tent outside a downtown bar, leaving one man dead Saturday afternoon, NBC station KSDK reported.

en to hospitals after the incident at Kilroy’s Sports Bar on South Seventh Street a couple of blocks south of Busch Stadium, KSDK reported. A total of 100 people received medical treatment, KSDK said. Photos showed the tent impaled on a nearby railroad trestle.

It was not clear whether the man who died was struck during the incident or went into cardiac arrest because of shock, officials said.
St. Louis Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson told KSDK that a few hundred people were celebrating in the tent after the Cardinals' victory over the Milwaukee Brewers when the storm hit.
"We've got severe injuries to quite a few people," Jenkerson said, noting live wires were left on the ground after the tarp tied to galvanized pipes blew away. "We don't like this type of building. It gives us nightmares, and as you can see, it caused one."
The pipes "beat up" many of the people in the tent, Jenkerson said.
The tent was set up as a beer garden next to Kilroy's, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
"I thought a train fell off the track," Art Randall, Kilroy's owner, told the Post-Dispatch. "We all ducked for cover. Everything was going sideways. I had metal chairs ripping across the beer garden."
"People were pushing and shoving," said Christy Eilermann, 42, of St. Louis, the Post-Dispatch reported. "The wind just picked up and they started dragging people inside."

Global Pot Day, Prime Minister Stephen Harper made what some thought was a surprising admission at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, when he told reporters that existing strategies to combat the drug trade are “not working.”

But Harper wasn’t willing to embrace legalization, either, saying April 16 in Santiago, Chile that, “all leaders are interested in looking at a variety of approaches but very, very few leaders think that anything should be done other than fighting this particular scourge on our populations.”

MARIJUANAA look at pot numbers in Canada
While the week began with Harper’s commitment to continue battling drugs through enforcement, it ends with two other notable developments in the drug debate.

Dalai Lama thanks Harper for visit, The exiled spiritual leader of Tibet says he thanked Prime Minister Stephen Harper for "standing firm" and having the "courage" to meet him, despite Canada's growing ties with China.

The Dalai Lama is in Canada this weekend for the 6th World Parliamentarians' Convention on Tibet, and the Ottawa visit is the Dalai Lama's only Canadian stop on a worldwide tour.

Canada has been trying to increase its trade with China and could soon begin exploratory talks to eventually negotiate a free-trade agreement. But Harper said during his February, 2012, trip to China that the country can expect him to continue to advocate for improved human rights conditions.

Harper’s ‘NDP didn’t support war against Hitler’ prompts Twitter history lesson, The Conservatives continued to hammer the NDP Friday for its non-support for Canada’s military mission against Nazi Germany in the Second World War, despite the fact the party didn’t exist at the time.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper twice admonished NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair this week for questions on an possible extension to the Afghanistan mission by saying the NDP didn’t even support the fight against Hitler.

Foreign Minister John Baird and Conservative backbencher Scott Armstrong repeated the reference again Friday in the House of Commons.

“The NDP don’t support sending troops abroad for anything,” Baird said during Friday morning’s question period. “Let us look at what the former leader of the NDP-CCF when he said the following. ‘I would ask whether we are to risk the lives of our Canadian sons to prevent the actions of Hitler.’ You know who said that, it was the former leader of the NDP-CCF, J.S. Woodsworth.”

NDP MP Peggy Nash called the Conservative’s accusations a “historical parody” during a scrum following question period.

Canadians had a bit of fun with the Conservative’s interesting line of attack on the NDP — who are in a statistical dead heat with the Tories according to a new poll.

Delmon Young Arrested, Swung on and belted by Delmon Young — allegedly.
The New York Post is reporting that police arrested Young, a slugger for the Detroit Tigers, and charged him with assault after a fight early Friday morning outside of the team's hotel in midtown Manhattan. Police were called around 2:40 a.m. after Young allegedly scuffled with a 32-year-old man and pushed him to the ground, causing minor scratches. Young spent the night at a hospital because he was "highly intoxicated" and needed to sober up before being taken to jail to be booked, the paper says.
But that's not all. The Detroit Free Press also reports that the assault charge counts as an aggravated hate crime, a misdemeanor, because of what Young allegedly said during the incident:

"Basically, there was an incident at the hotel (and) some anti-Semitic remarks," said Detective Joseph Cavitolo.
The Associated Press followed with more on the incident:

Chen, one of China's most prominent human rights advocates, has escaped from home imprisonment, activists said on April 27, 2012, but uncertainty over his whereabouts and fears about his health have worried supporters. Chen, a self-schooled legal advocate who campaigned against forced abortions, had been restricted to his home since September 2010 when he was released from jail.

BOB Smith dies, Ski Goggle Pioneer Bob Smith Dies, An orthodontist whose skiing passion helped turn him into a pioneer of goggle and sunglasses has died of complications related to heart surgery. Robert Earl "Bob" Smith was 78.

Smith's family confirmed that he died on April 18 in California.

Smith in the 1960s channeled his frustration with fogged goggles while skiing in Utah, using his knowledge of dental tools and foam to create a double-lensed ski goggle with inner lens that could be protected from the cold.

He patented his invention, now considered the industry standard.

Smith built the Smith Sport Optics headquarters in Ketchum in the 1970s, then sold the company in 1991.

Smith Sport Optics says it holds a 45 percent share of the snow-goggle market in North America, making it the top manufacturer.

ST Louis woman 5.8 million, The company that makes “Girls Gone Wild” DVDs is seeking to overturn a verdict awarding nearly $6 million to a St. Louis-area woman who claims her bare breasts were recorded without permission.

St. Louis Circuit Judge John Garvey last month sided with Tamara Favazza in her suit against Mantra Films Inc. and MRA Holdings LLC, awarding her $5.77 million. She was a 20-year-old college student in 2005 when someone lifted her tank top during a party at a St. Louis bar, exposing her breasts. Another person filmed it. She later discovered the recording was part of the “Girls Gone Wild Sorority Orgy” DVD series.

Favazza claimed in the suit originally filed in 2008 that she did not give consent and the resulting DVD damaged her reputation. A St. Louis jury sided with the DVD makers in 2010, but a retrial was granted.

Garvey issued his ruling on March 5. On Wednesday, the defendants filed motions asking that the judgment be set aside and a new trial granted.

Jeffrey Medler, an attorney for Favazza, said he will “vigorously oppose” any effort to overturn the ruling.

George Zimmerman Web Donations, George Zimmerman's website seeking money for his legal defense may have been shut down, but apparently not before pulling in quite a haul for the high-profile Florida murder defendant.
The attorney for Zimmerman, charged in the February shooting of unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, says in a TV interview Thursday that his client's website has raised more than $200,000.
Mark O'Mara, speaking to CNN, said he learned about the money on Wednesday and will inform a judge at a Friday hearing.
Zimmerman has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, though he has claimed he shot Martin in self-defense, invoking the state's "Stand Your Ground" law. The incident sparked a national debate as to whether the shooting was an act of racial profiling by Zimmerman, who has white and Hispanic ancestry. Martin was black.

Jessica Simpson video, Jessica Simpson has shared footage of her lavish baby shower with fans.

The 31-year-old singer - who is due to give birth to her first baby with fiancé Eric Johnson imminently - uploaded a video and pictures of last month's lavish baby shower to her website Jessicasimpson.com, which showed her receiving gifts from family and celebrity friends.

Guests at the party included mother-of-two Jessica Alba, who brought her youngest daughter Haven, 'Grey's Anatomy' star Ellen Pompeo and Jessica's sister Ashlee, who was accompanied by her son Bronx, three.


Captioning a picture of herself with her adorable nephew, Jessica - who is expecting a girl - wrote: ''I can't wait until Bronx meets his new cousin.''

A source Us Weekly magazine: ''It was a kid friendly shower with many of her friends bringing babies. She received tons of gifts mostly wrapped in pink gift wrap and boxes. There were several books, stuffed toys and clothes among other items.''

The 50 guests were treated to an extravagant buffet featuring Jessica's favorite Southern foods - including fried Oreos and Twinkies at the event which was organized by celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss and inspired by the children's story 'Charlotte's Web'.

Singer, actress and fashion-designer Jessica also revealed creating a family is her greatest achievement.

She wrote:''Creating a family is the best thing I've done in my life, I really hope I can be half as good of a mom as my mom has been to me.''

Tallulah Willis boyfriend, Whoa. Not so good on both counts, there, huh? Yes, Tallulah Willis has her first public boyfriend at the ripe old age of eighteen. First, I cannot believe that this girl’s eighteen, and second, that she has such horrifically awful taste in young men. Oh dear.
From People:
Willis, 18, stepped out on Thursday afternoon with Lucas Vercetti, the bleach blonde manager of the Odd Future pop-up shop in Los Angeles.
The duo showed some PDA while strolling arm-in-arm through Beverly Hills, with Willis at one point hiding behind her man and giggling when caught by paparazzi.
Vercetti, on the other hand, had no problem being recognized. Rocking a pair of old-school Vans and a T-shirt, he was photographed raising his hands in the air like he didn’t have a care.
Oh. My God. Really? This is the kind of kid that a daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore brings home? Wait. Scratch that. This is the kind of kid that a daughter of two good-looking people bring home? In what world? And can I just say that this kid’s all sorts of gross? This is the kind of kid that I avoided like the plague when I was young and impressionable (well, after I moved in with a kid like that when I was eighteen and learned my lesson the f-cking hard way. The F-CKING hard way). Tallulah’s been around bad decision-making for some time now. You’d think she’d have this kind of business out of her system already.

Sarah Michelle Gellar pregnant, Sarah Michelle Gellar is pregnant, expecting a second child with husband Freddie Prinze Jr., according to several reports out Thursday.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon renew wedding vows, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon say "I do" — again.
A publicist for the pair says they renewed their vows Friday at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.
Spokeswoman Cindi Berger said the couple celebrated with an "intimate ceremony after a romantic dinner at the beautiful Jules Verne restaurant" just after midnight local time.
Carey, 42, and Cannon, 31, married in the Bahamas in 2008 after a whirlwind romance that began just months earlier. Carey gave birth to their twins, son and daughter Moroccan and Monroe, last April.
Cannon was hospitalized in January and later diagnosed with inflammation of the kidneys. He resigned from his New York City radio show in February to help his recovery. Earlier this month, he said he'd document his return to health on his website in a show called "NCredible Health Hustle."

Beer banned for dirty name on label, You can buy Fat Bastard wine in Alabama, but you'll have to go elsewhere for Dirty Bastard beer.
The state alcoholic beverage control agency said Thursday it has banned the sale of Dirty Bastard beer in the state because of the profanity on its label.
Beer and wine are commonly sold in grocery and convenience stores and anyone can see the labels, so staff members rejected the brand because parents may not want young people to see rough language on the shelves, said Bob Martin, an attorney with the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.
"That's the whole reason for the rule, to keep dirty pictures and dirty words away from children," he said. "Personally, I believe the staff made the right call."
Workers at the agency consulted sources including the Federal Communications Commission and Wikipedia to develop a list of objectionable words that should not appear on product labels, Martin said, and the list includes "bastard."

Puppy on runway delays flights at NY airport, A puppy took flight at La Guardia Airport yesterday, speeding down a busy runway and dodging planes and a posse of desperate pursuers.
Taxiing airliners ground to a screeching halt, giving their passengers front-row views of the spectacle that at one point saw a frustrated worker get down on his hands and knees in an unsuccessful attempt to convince the 14-month-old Rhodesian ridgeback, named Byrdie, to surrender.
In a final fit of desperation, Port Authority cops pulled the dog’s owner, Austin Varner, off her Delta flight and drove her out to the tarmac.
Varner, a 26-year-old Manhattan interior designer, said she was surprised at how far her dog had run. “It took a while in the car to get to her,” she said.
When they reached Byrdie, she was completely surrounded by workers.

Harper NDP Hitler, Prime Minister Stephen Harper's erroneous statement this week that the "leader of the NDP, in 1939, did not even want to support war against Hitler" has triggered a torrent of Twitter messages mocking the mistake - all identified with the hashtag "#HarperHistory" - and prompted New Democrat MP Dan Harris to gleefully recite several examples in the House of Commons on Friday.
The effort to ridicule Harper's misplaced dig at the NDP - founded in 1961 after the eclipse of forerunner CCF, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation - had Twitter users blaming the NDP for everything from the fall of Rome to the Boston Tea Party to the betrayal of Jesus Christ.

On Thursday, in a heated exchange about when Canadian troops would be leaving Afghanistan, Harper responded to pointed questions from NDP leader Thomas Mulcair by stating: "Unlike the NDP, we are not going to ideologically have a position regardless of circumstances," he said. "The leader of the NDP, in 1939, did not even want to support war against Hitler."
Harper was referring to pacifist CCF leader J.S. Woodsworth, well known for voicing lonely opposition in 1939 to Canada's participation in the Second World War.
After howls from the opposition benches about Harper's misstatement, he tried to laugh it off by blurring the distinction between the NDP and CCF.
"OK, CCF, same difference," Harper said. "Parties do change their names from time to time."
Harper's casual rewrite of history gave creative Twitter users all the inspiration they needed: "It is a fact that, at the time, the #ndp refused to support our troops during the War of 1812," read a typical example from the flood of tweets unleashed by the Harper-NDP flap.

Joan cusack gabourey sidibe, A young actress getting to meet one of her big-screen idols? Great! That same idol utterly crushing the young actress's hopes and dreams? Not so great.
That's pretty much exactly what happened to "The Big C" star Gabourey Sidibe when she met one of her heroes, quirky actress Joan Cusack. On last night's "Watch What Happens Live," host Andy Cohen asked Sidibe which celebrity she was most disappointed by when she met them, and she told the story of how she ran into Cusack at a industry party -- and Cusack told her she should quit show business because "it's so image-conscious."

Kaley Cuoco Anguilla, Cuoco may have learned eight simple rules about life, but there is one rule that she needs to read again.

The actress recently posted pictures of herself and a friend on the Internet, and then she added designs to both bodies of the girls.
This is one of the things that can get way out of hand, and Kaley is learning that lesson now.

Everyone can see her in the photos sitting on what looks to be the edge of a boat at Anguilla. The background is lovely, but the details that were drawn on the photo could have been left out.

Aubrey Huff Anxiety Disorder, Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff's sudden disappearance was explained Wednesday when the team placed him on the 15-day disabled list with an anxiety disorder.

"He's gotten some treatment and will continue to get treatment," manager Bruce Bochy said before Wednesday night's 4-2 loss to the Reds. The Giants helped arrange the help for Huff, 35, a stalwart and emotional spark on the 2010 World Series championship team whose play has declined since.

Huff joins a small but high-profile list of major-league players who have been sidelined by anxiety in the past several years. Those players include Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto, the 2010 National League Most Valuable Player; pitcher Zack Greinke, the 2009 American League Cy Young Award winner; and former A's pitcher Justin Duchscherer.

William and Kate anniversary plan, Their wedding on April 29th was watched by over two billion people.
So it's no surprise the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would rather celebrate their first anniversary away from the spotlight.
Kate and William will be spending this weekend privately, a St James's Palace spokesman confirmed.

No further details have been revealed but the first wedding anniversary is traditionally known as paper and the Duke and Duchess may exchange gifts or have plans for a romantic meal.
The couple will no doubt be enjoying a quiet break after an eventful week.
The Duke and Duchess will attend the UK premiere of the documentary film African Cats at the BFI Southbank on Wednesday, which is in aid of the animal welfare charity Tusk Trust, which has William as its patron.
The cause is close to William's heart.
The Duke proposed to his wife while on safari in Kenya and they often spend time in Africa.
The following day they will attend a reception at Goldsmiths' Hall to celebrate two Army teams who recreated the famous race to the South Pole by adventurers Scott and Amundsen.

Hudson trial suspect infidelities, Jennifer Hudson’s former brother-in-law was suspicious his wife was cheating on him and threatened to kill her entire family just two months before Hudson’s mother, brother, and 7-year-old nephew were slain, a witness testified today in the trial of William Balfour.

Robbin Myers, whose wife was good friends with Hudson’s sister, Julia, testified Balfour came to a birthday party at his home in August 2008 and “went on a rant” about how he suspected his wife was seeing a co-worker.

“If I find out she’s cheating on me, I’m gonna (expletive) her and him up,’” Myers quoted Balfour as saying.

Myers said Balfour referred to Hudson’s bother, Jason, as “that fat ass” who had accused him of stealing his handgun from the Hudson home.

Rancic's surprise baby party, Three days after Giuliana Rancic announced that she and hubby Bill are expecting their first child via a surrogate, the E! News host, 37, received a surprise baby party at her Los Angeles office.

"We waited for a good 10-15 minutes for G to come into the conference room where everything was set up," an attendee tells PEOPLE. "In true G fashion, she was on the phone until the very last minute we all yelled, 'Surprise!' "

Once inside the gathering thrown by her assistant, Rancic's colleagues were treated to baked goodies. The treats included cakepops, mini-chocolate cupcakes and red velvet cake.

DR Seuss Book Banned Yertle, Throughout history, books have been banned for various reasons -- for sex, for language, for racism and for viewpoints. In British Columbia this week, a quote from Dr. Seuss' Yertle The Turtle was on the receiving end of a boycott for a politically polarizing reason.

According to the Globe and Mail, an elementary school teacher in Prince Rupert was told she could not display the quote, "I know up on top you are seeing great sights, but down here on the bottom, we too should have rights” from the book in her classroom.

As Joanna Larson, president of the BCTF local in Prince Rupert noted on Twitter:

Teachers in PrinceRupert,BC could face discipline for displaying Dr.Suess quote.Management "must insulate students from political messages"
Dave Stigant, acting director of instruction for the Prince Rupert School District, stated the decision was based on the November, 2011 ban by an arbitrator on political messages in schools in the province, though the ongoing labour dispute between the teacher's union and the province played a role as well.

Kris Humphries Kim Kanye publicity stunt, Kris Humphries wants to know if his soon-to-be-ex-wife Kim Kardashian's relationship with music mogul Kanye West is just another a publicity stunt, but not because the NBA star wants to know for personal reasons, rather, to aide his ongoing divorce case with the reality star, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

Katherine Heigl adopt second daughter, Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley are now part of a family of four.

The "One for the Money" actress, 33, and her singer-songwriter husband, 32, have adopted their second daughter.

A rep for Heigl confirmed the news to Us Weekly on Wednesday. No other details were provided.

Heigl and Kelley, who married in 2007, are also parents to 3-year-old daughter Naleigh, whom they adopted from South Korea in 2009.

Earlier this year, the actress told Scholastic Parent & Child magazine that she had always planned to adopt.

Beyonce on motherhood, Awards shows have become a treasure trove of embarrassing, shocking and incredible show-stopping moments, but the buzz from last night's MTV Video Music Awards today is not Lady Gaga's morphing into a male alter-ego -- it's Beyonce's baby bump.

The pop superstar set off a flurry of excitement before the show began when she announced on the red carpet that she had a "surprise." Then, at the conclusion of a roaring performance of her song "Love on Top," she placed her hands around her belly to show a protruding baby bump.

The admission of her pregnancy, later confirmed by Beyonce's spokesperson, ended years of rumors that she and husband Jay-Z were expecting their first child together.
In an exclusive interview in November 2010, Beyonce, who turns 30 in September, told "Nightline" anchor Cynthia McFadden that she was not ready to be a mother.

James Beard Foundation Award, This week we learned that a mom in the village of Bridgeport, Ohio is the latest target of the ugly and humiliating policy of the Boy Scouts of America that bans gay scouts and gay scoutmasters. Jennifer Tyrrell was in tears on my radio program yesterday, describing how she was told, after serving for a year as den leader of her 7-year-old son's Tiger Scouts pack, that she must resign because she is a lesbian. It broke the hearts of the kids and many of their parents, who know how much their boys love Tyrrell -- and are also now forced to teach their children about hate.

Meanwhile, in New Jersey, Susan Ungaro, sometimes-judge on Bravo's Top Chef and president of the James Beard Foundation, which annually doles out the prestigious James Beard Awards (the "Oscars of food," as they're called) to chefs, cookbook authors, restauranteurs, and others in the food industry, was accepting an award herself from none other than the Boy Scouts of America.

It's troubling enough that the leader of any group, let alone one that considers itself sophisticated and tasteful, would accept an award from an organization that does not allow "avowed homosexuals" as members because they are not "morally straight and clean in thought, word and deed." It is the Boy Scouts' choice, as a private entity, to ban gays (the Supreme Court has upheld this policy), just as the Augusta National Golf Club may legally ban women. That, however, surely doesn't make it right, nor does it mean that anyone must give it legitimacy by accepting an award from an organization that the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) notes is "one of the only cultural institutions to categorically discriminate against LGBT Americans" and sends a "dangerous" message.

Klum Body Paint, Heidi Klum Goes Nude, Wears Just Body Paint in Ad,Looking good, Heidi Klum! The fashion icon posed for a new ad for the beauty brand Astor to celebrate its 60th anniversary, and left little to the imagination.

Klum appears nude in the new ad, but is covered with an elaborate and colorful design by makeup artist Joanne Gair.

The "Project Runway" host, who has been in the news lately due to her split from her husband of seven years, Seal, wrote about her experience on her blog:

It took 12 hours for Joanne to complete my look, but this actually wasn't the first time she has painted me from head to toe. This was probably close to the 13th time I've been body painted by her, so I'm used to getting it done--the process takes awhile, so you have to be good at being patient!
While sitting still for hours just for one outfit -- or lack thereof -- may seem extreme, Klum is definitely used to all the preparation. She and her soon-to-be ex used to dress up in extravagant costumes and body art for their annual Halloween parties.

Check out Heidi's colorful photo below. For more, head over to Heidi's blog.

Heart Attack Grill Customer Collapses, The Heart Attack Grill satisfies another customer.

It’s best known for serving artery clogged specialties and that’s exactly what one customer got: a heart attack.
While dining at the unhealthy Las Vegas restaurant on Saturday, a woman collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital.

She is the second person to need medical attention after eating at the Heart Attack Grill within the last few months.

Though owner Jon Basso hopes the woman gets well soon, he explains that the woman got just what she came to the Heart Attack Grill for: coming close to death.

“We attract an avant-garde clientele — thrill seekers, risk takers,” he explained to the Los Angeles Times, adding that his restaurant is a “bad for you but fun” restaurant that “attracts people who don’t really take good care of their health.”

Britney Spears Home Sold---Britney Spears Home Sold For $4.25 million: Britney Spears sold her Los Angeles home: Britney Spears has sold her Beverly Hills house for $4,253,000 - considerably more than the original asking price of $2.995,000.

Britney Spears has sold her house - for more than $1.2 million the asking price.

The 'Toxic' hitmaker - who has sons Sean, six, and five-year-old Jayden with ex-husband Kevin Federline - is now planning to rent a property with fiance Jason Trawick after her Beverly Hills estate sold for $4,253,000.

According to gossip website TMZ, the house - which is situated in gated community the Summit - was initially listed for $2,995,000 and Britney's representatives expected multiple bids and a bidding frenzy on the estate.

And the property - from where the 30-year-old singer was taken to hospital following her infamous meltdown four years ago - could still sell for even more when a public hearing on the sale takes place next month.

Rodney King Today, We saw his face a bloody, pulpy mess. And in 1992, when the four Los Angeles Police officers who beat him after a traffic stop were acquitted, it touched off anger that affected an entire generation. Now, 20 years later, this is the face of Rodney King, and this is what has happened to him in the interim.

He’s been a record company executive and a reality TV star among many other things.

To millions of Americans, though, he will always be either a victim of one of the most horrific cases of police brutality ever videotaped or just a hooligan who didn’t stop when police attempted to pull him over.

He’s indisputably the black motorist whose beating on a darkened LA street led to one of the worst race riots in American history.

Robin Gibb's son, The son of Robin Gibb says the Bee Gees star has beaten the odds by waking from a coma just days after doctors said he may not survive.
The 62-year-old singer has advanced colorectal cancer and remains in intensive care. His doctor Andrew Thillainayagam said Gibb had recently caught pneumonia because he was weakened from chemotherapy and two operations.
His son, Robin-John Gibb, told ITV News on Monday that "they gave him an under 10 per cent survival chance and he has beaten the odds ... he really is something else."
Thillainayagam said the singer is fully conscious and able to speak. He said Gibb's wife Dwina and children have been talking to him and playing music by his bedside every day.
The Bee Gees are best-known for a string of disco-era hits including "Stayin' Alive."
