December 29th, 2007 · No Comments

Ever wonder why, after some scary event over-exposed in the news, a movie gets released that seems too close for comfort and incredibly insensitive? Fact is, it usually isn’t due to insensitivity but for financial reasons already set in motion previously.

And that after a long ago lawsuit over the name Apple, when Jobs promised The Beatles’ Apple Records that he’d never enter the music business. […]

But this has been quite the year of celebrity divorces: Marie Osmond, Valerie Bertinelli, Pam Anderson, and many more.

Las Vegas’ Josh Duhamel Proposes to Fergie

December 27th, 2007 · 3 Comments

You know, I used to think Fergie looked good. At least until I saw her standing beside super hot Josh Duhamel, who recently proposed to her, after three years of dating.
