American Idol!

Heejun Han brought an unmatched flavor to "American Idol" this season, but entertainment does not always equal overall success.

Wednesday night marked the arrival of a more serious Heejun, a foil to the charismatic, lively singer of the previous week. But while his performance of Donny Hathaway's "A Song for You" was pleasant, it simply wasn't up to the high standard the other competitors set.

 

And on Thursday night (Mar. 29), the "Idol" voters let him know it.

After obtaining the lowest number of votes, Heejun sang for the judges' save with, yet again, "A Song for You." But while it was yet again a solid showing, even Heejun himself seemed to know that he wouldn't be saved. "I'm singing this song..." he sang, "...to everyone! Thank you so much!"

 
Steven Tyler acknowledged that he came out swinging after a dismal previous week, but told an understanding Heejun that they were "going to have to let you go."

 

Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine joined Heejun in the bottom three vote-getters, though the latter was dismissed to the benches quite quickly. Though Skylar's Wednesday performance was quite strong, which made her inclusion in the bottom three puzzling, Hollie struggled through "Jesus Take the Wheel," with mentor Jimmy Iovine comparing her to frontrunner Jessica Sanchez, saying, "You don't win it ("Idol") on technique, you win it on soul."

 

It was a celebratory evening for Elise Testone and Deandre Brackensick, two performers who have flirted with the bottom three in the past but were among the top six in voting last night. Jimmy had nothing but the best to say of Elise in particular. "She was a dark horse," he said, "but not anymore."

The contestants were joined onstage by Nicki Minaj and former "Idol" victor Scotty McCreery. Nicki's performance of "Starships" was all muscle (despite the lip-synced chorus), establishing the song as a definite spring/summer jam. Meanwhile, Scotty introduced his newest single, "Water Tower Town," and was presented with a plaque commemorating his platinum-certified debut album, "Clear as Day."

Next week, "Idol" returns with an '80s theme, a motif sure to please Elise, Deandre and more.

Keith Olbermann!

CBS announced via Twitter that the ousted political commentator will tell his side of the story on an episode of “The Late Show” next week.

Following the war of words that erupted on Twitter after Keith Olbermann was terminated from Current TV and replaced with Eliot Spitzer, CBS used the social networking medium to announce what might be the next chapter in this very public battle: Olbermann is scheduled to appear on The Late Show with David Letterman. Olbermann’s manager confirmed that he will appear on the talk show Tuesday, April 3.

Olbermann took to Twitter at approximately 2:30 PM PT to announce that he was fired, explaining both the circumstances of his departure and his subsequent plans for legal action against Current TV. Some 30 minutes prior, Current TV tweeted the link to an an open letter written by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt which stated that “the values of respect, openness, collegiality, and loyalty to our viewers… are no longer reflected in our relationship with Keith Olbermann and we have ended it.”

Since then, Current has not responded publicly to Olbermann’s allegations. Olbermann, meanwhile, has offered several jabs at his former home via his Twitter feed, retweeting followers who made observations like “weird how they see fit to replace a pro journalist w/a guy who got busted w/a Hooker,” and then adding, “Had to restore their ethics they said :).”

Given the legal ramifications of Olbermann’s announced lawsuit, it will be interesting to see what he is able to say, much less what he wants to, Tuesday evening on David Letterman’s show. But the pundit’s willingness to court controversy certainly indicates that his statements may only intensify they battle between himself and Current, no matter how diplomatically the network attempts to move forward with Spitzer as his replacement.

$656 million U.S. lottery!

 Three winners who could share
a $656 million windfall from the largest lottery jackpot in U.S.
history bought their lucky tickets at a 7-Eleven store in
Maryland, a Motomart convenience story in Illinois and somewhere
in northeast Kansas, lottery officials said on Saturday. 
Lottery officials said the 7-Eleven store was in Milford
Mill, Maryland, near Baltimore, and the Motomart convenience
store in the southern Illinois farming town of Red Bud,
Illinois. Kansas lottery officials were not releasing the exact
location where the ticket was sold except to say that it was in
the most populated northeast part of the state. 
"Each of the winners gets $105.1 million in cash after taxes
roughly, but who cares about pennies at this point?" said Carole
Everett, spokeswoman for the Maryland Lottery.
The winners whose tickets had all six numbers of the Mega
Millions lottery drawn on Friday night will split the jackpot,
the biggest in U.S. history, which rose to $656 million after

Listen Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull's new song!

Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull have teamed up again for Ms. Lopez's new single "Dance Again." The song is a fun dance pop track with a great beat, very much along the lines of their 2011 collaborative effort "On the Floor." The formats of the two songs are very similar; Pitbull opens with a quick line, followed by two repetitive verses and choruses by J. Lo. Then Pitbull raps a verse and the track finishes wraps up with the chorus again. 

In no way is it the most original song by Lopez but it is definitely upbeat and, as the title implies, danceable. "Dance Again" premiered this morning on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on KIIS-FM and will be available for purchase on iTunes April 2nd.Steven Tyler just announced that a new album and tour from his band Aerosmith, and now Jennifer Lopez has dropped a new single called “Dance Again.”

Lopez (who totally didn’t flash any of her naughty bits during the Oscar telecast) got her great career resurrection last summer with the single “On the Floor,” featuring a guest verse from Pitbull and production by RedOne. Clearly operating in the “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” idiom, Lopez once again sings over a buttery disco groove with an assist from Miami’s favorite bilingual MC.

Rosie Hintington-Whiteley's cover for Brazil’s Vogue!

Rosie Hintington-Whiteley graces Vogue Brazil’s autumnal April cover wearing a look by Animale. Some forum members weren’t too thrilled with the reverse pumpkin color scheme of the cover, but as blueorchid pointed out, it’s important to remember that it’s fall in Brazil right now.

Though some forum members still couldn’t get over the cover colors (a few weren’t so crazy about Rosie’s outfit either), most of them liked the unexpected look. “I love the cover, it's gorgeous, the colors combined in a really good way, and the styling is beyond,” models_vlada gushed.

KateTheGreatest wrote, “I love the clothes and I really love her pose—it’s so effortlessly cool, not trying too hard, that's why it works.”

Miss Dalloway liked that it was “something different.”

For those of you hoping to see something a bit more sultry from Rosie, there are plenty of pouty, sprawling-on-a-bed type of images featured in her editorial. Keep scrolling for a peek.

Jennifer Aniston wants a baby!

Jennifer Aniston "wants to be pregnant as soon as possible."

The 43-year-old Hollywood star and actor Justin Theroux have been in a committed relationship for nearly a year.Jennifer desires to establish a family with Justin very soon.

"Ideally, she wants to be pregnant as soon as possible, but if it doesn't happen by next year, they're going to adopt," a source told OK! magazine.

"Jen has always been very open to the idea. Plus, it seems these days so many people in her circle are opting to do it that it's got her thinking of it more and more."

Jennifer feels her biological clock ticking.

"The fact is, she wants to have more than one child and now that she's in her 40s that's becoming less likely," the source explained. "She wants her baby to have at least one sibling."

Jennifer is also interested in building a business enterprise with Justin.

She and her ex-husband Brad Pitt owned production company Plan B together, but Brad became the sole owner of the venture following their 2005 divorce.

Jennifer laments that decision.

"She's planning to set up a production company with [Justin]," the insider revealed. "Giving up [Plan B] was something she always regretted. But with Justin, she feels she has a second chance. He has a number of scripts written, and Jen's really pushing to get them made because she's a huge fan of his work."

Earth hour 2012! Time to switch off the lights!

Millions of people are expected to switch off their lights for Earth Hour Saturday in a global effort to raise awareness about climate change that will even be monitored from space.

At 8:30 p.m. today, a record number of people around the globe will switch off lights for Earth Hour, easing human impact on the environment.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced that the UN would be switching off their lights for Earth Hour on March 31, as he called on people, organizations and businesses to do the same, in solidarity with the 20 percent of men, women and children who don’t have access to electricity. 
“Turning off our lights is a symbol of our commitment to sustainable energy for all,” he said in a statement. “We need to fuel our future with clean, efficient and affordable energy. By acting together today, we can power a brighter tomorrow.”
A record 147 countries and territories are preparing to send “a united message that now is the time to take action for the planet,” EarthHour.com stated in a release. 

According to EarthHour.com, the event started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. 

The website says 2010 became the biggest Earth Hour ever with a previous record of 128 countries and territories joining the global display of climate action, “Iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas switched off.

Is Rihanna Dating Ashton Kutcher?

Ever since Rihanna was spotted exiting Ashton Kutcher's home at 4 AM last week, everyone's been wondering if the unlikely pair have been hooking up.

 
At a London press conference for Rihanna’s new movie ‘Battleship’, the female reporter asked: “You're so good at connecting with people that I think that we actually feel we know you. Things are clearly going brilliantly in your career. I just wondered if you are as happy in your private life, and will we see a certain Mr. Ashton Kutcher perhaps making a trip over here?”
Clearly annoyed, the ‘We Found Love’ singer replied: “Wow, how disappointing was that question?”

 
When the mediator asked if she wanted to move on to the next question, Rihanna agreed “absolutely” before adding, “I'm happy and I'm single, if that's what you're really asking.”
Reports surfaced last week claiming Rihanna started seeing Ashton – who split with wife Demi More last November – eight weeks ago after swapping numbers at a Los Angeles house party.

 
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The flirting began as soon as Rihanna and Ashton met and swapped numbers. That moved on to texts and arranging to meet. They snuck off to a Santa Monica hotel a few weeks ago.
"They are two single people having a fling, so thought it would be best to meet in secret.

 

 

"Rihanna has told friends he's funny and cute. Both of them love a good time and think they're too busy for anything serious just yet.”

Is Megan Fox pregnant?

A report hit Wednesday morning that Megan Fox is pregnant with her first child with husband Brian Austin Green.  A source told Star magazine that the actress and her beau are not breaking the baby news until she’s further along in her pregnancy, but added they are “incredibly excited.”

 
Megan, 25, is already a stepmom to Brian Austin’s 10-year-old son, Kassius, and she recently revealed toCosmopolitan magazine that she’s ready to be a mom.“I want at least two, probably three [kids]. I’ve always been maternal,” she told the publication. She then added of her husband, “We’ve had obstacles, and we’ve overcome them. I truly feel like he’s my soul mate. I don’t want to sound corny or cliché, but I do believe we are destined to live this part of our lives together.”Megan was most recently spotted on March 22 at Koo Koo Roo in Los Angeles with her hubby, but no sign of a baby bump just yet. 

    
The pregnancy report comes one day after news broke (via TMZ) that Brian Austin is being sued by a celeb photographer over an incident that took place on a Honolulu beach in December, in which the former Beverly Hills 90210 hunk allegedly attacked a cameraman (named Delbert Shaw) while Megan egged him on. The reason: Shaw was taking photos of the couple on the beach.

Playing card - 1920 x 1080

A playing card is a piece of specially prepared heavy paper, thin cardboard, plastic-coated paper, cotton-paper blend, or thin plastic, marked with distinguishing motifs and used as one of a set for playing card games. Playing cards are typically palm-sized for convenient handling.

A complete set of cards is called a pack or deck, and the subset of cards held at one time by a player during a game is commonly called a hand. A deck of cards may be used for playing a great variety of card games, with varying elements of skill and chance, some of which are played for money. Because playing cards are standardized and commonly available, they are used for other purposes, such as illusions, cartomancy, cardistry, and building card structures.

The front (or "face") of each card carries markings that distinguish it from the other cards in the deck and determine its use under the rules of the game being played. The back of each card is identical for all cards in any particular deck, and usually of a single color or formalized design. Usually every card will be smooth; however, some decks have braille to allow blind people to read the card number and suit. The backs of playing cards are sometimes used for advertising. For most games, the cards are assembled into a deck, and their order is randomized by shuffling.

drape - 1920 x 1200

A curtain (sometimes known as a drape, mainly in the United States) is a piece of cloth intended to block or obscure light, or drafts, or water in the case of a shower curtain. Curtains hung over a doorway are known as portières. Curtains are often hung on the inside of a building's window to block the passage of light, for instance at night to aid sleeping, or to stop light from escaping outside the building (stopping people outside from being able to see inside, often for privacy reasons). In this application they are also known as "draperies." Curtains come in a variety of shapes, materials, sizes, colors and patterns, and they often have their own sections within department stores, while some shops are completely dedicated to selling curtains.
