Britney’s Halloween Costume

britney spears halloween

Oh boy. Doesn’t she just look good enough to vomit on? Yes…she is one spectacular woman I must say. Not sure what look she is going for here really. Gay Buddah? Jellybean? Who the hell knows what cracked out dream she came up with this idea in. Does she think this is hot? Do some damn ab work woman.

If you are really the type that likes to look at pot belly types then i guess you could take a look at the 155 picture slide show at AOL. 155! They call it “Racy”. I call it “Poppin’ fresh” ;) .

Time to Get Your Christmas Lights

It is almost time to get your Christmas lights up in a few weeks. Many get them up the weekend of Thanksgiving, but some may sooner after the Halloween holiday is complete. The standard incandescent lights are outdated, inefficient, costly, and bad for the environment I have read recently. I have also read that LED holiday lights use 1/10th of the energy that the standard lights use and last for up to 50,000 more hours than these lights do! Standard lights actually only last approximately 2000 hours. These lights are even safer because they don’t get so hot. In fact they only get to one degree above typical room temperature. Doesn’t really seem like standard lights are worth the bother.

Spears pays off hit and run victim

So she doesn’t have that case pending anymore, but she will still have to deal with the driving with out a license charge.

J.K. Rowling Outs Hogwarts Character

Harry Potter fans, the rumors are true: Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay. J.K. Rowling, author of the mega-selling fantasy series that ended last summer, outed the beloved character Friday night while appearing before a full house at Carnegie Hall.

Unbelievable. People are freakin’ nuts I swear.

She was asked by one young fan whether Dumbledore finds “true love.”

“Dumbledore is gay,” the author responded to gasps and applause.

She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. “Falling in love can blind us to an extent,” Rowling said of Dumbledore’s feelings, adding that Dumbledore was “horribly, terribly let down.”

Dumbledore’s love, she observed, was his “great tragedy.”

“Oh, my god,” Rowling concluded with a laugh, “the fan fiction.” source

The fan fiction? What the hell is she talking about? She just made this crap up on the spot.

Play Backgammon in Virtually any Language

backgammon

The great backgammon gaming site Backgammon Masters has finally available in more languages. 12 to be more precise. Players simply select their language of choice in the BackgammonMasters Game Lobby and will have the ability to switch the software to any of the following languages: Chinese, Portuguese, German, Arabic, French, Hebrew, Japanese, English, Greek, Turkish, Spanish or Danish.

although the main focus of the site is the game of backgammon, Backgammon Masters has all sorts of other great games such as Poker, Perudo and BlackJack. They are home to the largest online gaming community of players that actively participate online and share online chat.

Most of their online games are available in the languages listed above as well as a very in depth source of tutorial material. The training material can help you learn not only the rules of the game, but how to use the fantastic interface that is provided in the software. It has never been easier to enjoy your favorite games online like backgammon.

In addition to the languages already added to the system, Backgammon Masters is working on adding two new additional ones. Italian and Russian should soon be added and integrated into the community. This is a really interesting way to play. Each member is able to communicate with members from around the world regardless of language. This is a really great feature.

Led Zeppling Songs to be Available Digitally

One of the greatest rock bands ever. Period. They have always insisted that their music would not be available online for purchase, but that has changed.

Led Zeppelin’s decision to sell its music online coincides with the end of a fierce bidding war over the rights to administer the band’s catalog of songs, which includes the classics “Stairway to Heaven” and “Rock and Roll.” Under a separate deal the band is to receive an estimated $60 million in exchange for extending its ties to its longtime music publisher, Warner/Chappell Music, for at least 10 years, said three people briefed on the agreement, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they had not been authorized to discuss it. Good old “anonymous” sources. What would the news be with out them?

Of course their music has always been online, but in the form of the free file sharing programs originally made popular by the great program known as Napster. So I guess they have finally decided to take advantage of probably the biggest music market there is these days and sell their music online. About damn time. You would be foolish not to utilize this medium to sell your music instead of letting everyone just download it for free.

Zepplin is having a reunion concert in London on November 26th of this year and it will be the first time they have performed since the band broke up back in 1980 after the death of its drummer, John Bonham. The Nov. 26 concert, which is to benefit Mr. Ertegun’s educational charity, also coincides with the release of an expansive two-disc hits collection.

Celebrity Hit and Run and they won’t pay your lawsuit?

Those celebrities think they can get away with anything don’t they? What if they are actually broke? They may be celebrities, but they may not have the cash to pay you when you win a court battle for some damages. IF you really need the money you may as well just go a head and find yourself a Lawsuit Cash Advance and get the money now. Why wait to spend that damage money? Get it up front and let someone else worry about collecting it.

Britney Spears Turns Self in to the Cops

More Britney I know. She’s crazy. What do you expect? Monday night she finally turned herself in for an incident in August in which she was thought to have fled from the scene of an accident.

“She was fine, cooperative,” Lopez said. “She did her business and came out.”

“They were nice,” she said of police. She told the station she was wearing the sunglasses because she had pinkeye.

The charges stem from an Aug. 6 wreck during which press filmed Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.

Britney is above the law folks. I don’t see any reason that should even be considered a crime really. Just have her “apologize” or something.

The Wealth Expo

On Friday, October 19th, 2007 in New York there will be a Wealth Expo that is there to teach you how to build your own wealth. This Expo will be sponsored by “MyWallSt.net: Your Financial Social Network”.

This is a three day event that covers an enormous amount of information. The Keynote Speaker at the even will be Jean Chatzky. Chatzky, is an award winning journalist, motivational speaker, and a best-selling author that has dedicated her work to helping those that have a serious problem. They have too much debt! Pretty common problem I would say, but important to learn strategies to combat yours none the less.

One of the more interesting sessions that will be going on, at least to me anyways, is entitled: Asset Optimization, “Tax Free Wealth Accumulation”. Why this is important to me is that I used to work as a financial planner. One of the biggest things that I tried to focus on with clients was to help them build wealth by saving a lot of taxes. There is money, and then there is tax-free money. It is an important issue to me that people learn how to maximize their investments not only from market gains, interest, etc, but to do it in a way that they aren’t losing a ton of it in taxes. Since this subject is so dear to me I always find any discussion on the issue to be of interest. I can’t claim to know it all, so if someone were to give me some knowledge that will help me save some more tax money and build more wealth I am going to listen.

The event will last three days and the days will run as followed:

Friday, 10/19: 1 p.m.-6:30 p.m. EDT w/ a cocktail hour to follow

Saturday, 10/20: 9 a.m.-6:30 p.m. EDT w/ a cocktail hour to follow

Sunday, 10/21: 9 a.m.-4 p.m. EDT (no cocktail hour)

For more information on this event, please go to Wealth Expo and see the entire list of sessions available to help build your wealth.


Survivor


Two losers in a dispute. Not much else to say. Danny Bonaduce has always been a nobody. The guy has no talent so he may as well throw some punk around that doesn’t have any talent either. Bonaduce should be doing infomercials instead of appearing at awards shows.

Former “Survivor” contestant Jonny Fairplay sued Danny Bonaduce, alleging battery and emotional distress after Bonaduce tossed Fairplay over his shoulder at an awards show.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, also names the producers of the awards show, the Fox Reality Channel.

This is so stupid. This Fairplay guy, whoever the hell that is ran at Bonaduce and jumped into his arms like a school girl. Bonaduce tossed im in self-defense his attorney’s claim and this Fairplay moron took a header and hurt his precious face.

The district attorney never filed suit against Bonaduce, but apparently this Fairplay guy that finished in like 50th place on a Survivor show from 40 years ago needs money so I guess he is going to sue. Good luck buddy. Can’t imagine Bonaduce is rolling in the green either.
