Hollywood – Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are reportedly getting ready to announce their divorce on Valentine’s Day this year.

Marc Anthony is going to make the announcement that they are filing for divorce at a concert set to take place in Madison Square Garden on February 14th.

The two have been seen recently in public without any wedding rings, leading many to believe they are headed to splitsville.

Though nothing has been confirmed, it would not surprise anyone if they do not wait until this date to make the announcement.

This news comes as we still try to confirm whether or not Tom Brady is engaged to Giselle Bundchen.

On December 23, two days before Christmas, a woman in Laguna Hills, Orange County, California gave birth to a 14 pound baby boy. The baby was born at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center and it is the biggest baby ever born in this hospital and even the biggest Orange County. ,

New York – On December 23, two days before Christmas, a woman in Laguna Hills, Orange County, California gave birth to a 14 pound baby boy. The baby was born at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center and it is the biggest baby ever born in this hospital and even the biggest Orange County.

Richard Walker Sault Jr. was delivered in the C-section of the hospital and two doctors were needed to pull him out. The parents said that they expected big baby, but this is above every expectations and predictions. The doctors in the room were also surprised and Sara Sault, the mother, thought that something went wrong until her husband explained her that the reactions were because of the baby’s size. With 14 pounds, 2 ounces and 21 inches long at birth, this is the biggest baby they have ever seen.

The father joked about his new son: “Our daughter, she was a big girl and she walked in 10 months. And Junior here looks like he could get up and walk out of the hospital right now.”

One big problem for the family now is that Richard Walker Sault Jr. can not fit to his baby clothes and his parents have to exchange them for much bigger sizes.

Bypass Surgery Helps Reduce Teen Diabetes

gastric bypass done on teenagers and young adults ranging in age from 14 to 21 has put their type 2 diabetes in remission for the most part. The study included 11 young people who were all severely to morbidly obese and all had type 2 diabetes.

Ottawa – While the jury may still be out on the origins and proper treatment of diabetes, researchers have determined that gastric bypass done on teenagers and young adults ranging in age from 14 to 21 has put their type 2 diabetes in remission for the most part. The study included 11 young people who were all severely to morbidly obese and all had type 2 diabetes. Within a year of the surgery all the subjects had lost a tremendous amount of weight with some subjects even now being considered to be normal weight. The study also found that 10 of the 11 subjects have found their type 2 diabetes to be in remission and they no longer need their medication on a daily basis.

The subject who still requires medication was a successful surgical candidate who has lost a great deal of weight and is now considered to be a normal sized young adult. However scientists are still puzzled as to why the subject still needs their diabetes medication to combat their type 2 diabetes. Researchers admit that the subject’s family has a history of type 2 diabetes but the link between diabetes patients and their family medical history is still under debate.

Teens and Virginity Promises

Posted by administrator in Health (Monday December 29, 2008 at 11:02 am)

With all good intentions, certain teens opt for a promise to remain virgins until marriage.

Hamilton – With all good intentions, certain teens opt for a promise to remain virgins until marriage. Then, realizing the enormity of sexual provocation in their daily environments, many find it impossible to maintain their promise. What causes this has more to do with a society that has an underlying need to force maturity in children as a means of forcing a conflicting dependence/independence ratio that simply doesn’t work.

Children from very early ages are bombarded with sexual innuendo by adults for whom such innuendo is hugely profitable. Children lose most of the qualities of childhood and act and react as miniature adults. Parents accept this as a positive sign of maturity.

Professionals who work with children know and understand their innocence, their sense of whimsy and their need to mature at their own pace. Parents prefer to rush children through childhood to avoid the wonder of genuine parenting based upon their own maturity and wisdom. Instead, many young parents, at present, push children into situations far beyond their capacity to understand or grasp the maturity that must accompany these situations.

Teens are no longer allowed to tread slowly into the world of sexuality. Instead, they must mature at breakneck rates of speed in order to comprehend too advanced situations involving sex. Few teenagers relate sex to parenthood when pregnancy results. Parents prefer to lay blame with peer pressure, lack of sexual information or irresponsibility. Teens desperately try to understand adult sexuality; but, lack the maturity to do so. Thus, failed promises of chastity.

Jennifer Aniston beat brad pitt at the christmas box office.

Ottawa – â€œMarley and Meâ€ a movie starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson did better at the box office than â€œThe Curious Case of Benjamin Buttonâ€ starring Brad Pitt.

â€œMarley and Meâ€ made 13.9 million dollars in ticket sales at the box office. â€œThe Curious Case of Benjamin Buttonâ€ came in second place with 11.1 million dollars in ticket sales at the box office.

Jennifer Aniston starred in the hit television sitcom â€œFriendsâ€ for ten years. She was married to actor Brad Pitt. The couple got divorced and he has since been dating actress Angelina Jolie. He also has adopted children with Angelina and she has given birth to three of his children.

Brad Pitt and Angelina are constantly being photographed by paparazzi photographers. They are also the topic of many tabloid news stories. Their photographs of their daughter Shiloh and their twins Knox and Vivienne sold for millions of dollars.

Many people felt bad for Jennifer Aniston because there had been tabloid news stories stating that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had started dating each other while they were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Jennifer Aniston has seemed a little bitter about her divorce but she has moved on with her life. She dated Vince Vaughn and is now seeing musician John Meyer. This time her movie opened better than her ex-husbandâ€™s movie.

This is a big accomplishment for her. The movie is a great holiday that the whole family can enjoy.

Dog vs. Man, Pitt And Aniston Rule Chirstmas Box Office

Posted by administrator in Entertainment (Sunday December 28, 2008 at 10:43 am)

The Holiday's two top movies by former spouses, Pitt and Aniston, are less about them as actors/rivals, than it is about the content of their respective movies.

Hamilton – The Holiday’s two top movies by former spouses, Pitt and Aniston, are less about them as actors/rivals, than it is about the content of their respective movies.

In today’s bleak economy, as in the 1930’s, people are in search of a genre that totally removes them from all this current depression, depravity and disgusting displays of world events; that genre would be comedy. That is precisely what Aniston’s film provides us with – a feisty, high-spritited, good-natured Labrador named Marley, an “All American Family” with Owen Wilson at the helm as Dad.

This is clearly the Dog Movie vs. Man Movie arena. That being the case, most people tend to gravitate towards animals, be they in the animated version or the everyday version on film. Marley pulled more box office bucks because when we saw that giant billboard with him as a pup, popping out of a Christmas gift box, our hearts simply melted and our curiosity as to content were immediately invoked. Personally, I know the larger-than-life photo certainly captured not only my attention, but my heart as well.

Pitt’s movie, on the other hand, about a man aging in reverse, requires from the audience, a bit more focus on the beautiful-but-heart-breaking element of Life that tends to pull at the heartstrings in a more intense manner, in addition to the usual suspension-of-disbelief formula necessary to be swept away through the Hollywood sensibility. There was simply too much in Benjamin Button requiring us to look at our own mortality.

Breastfeeding Photos On Facebook Obscene?

Posted by administrator in Health, Technology (Saturday December 27, 2008 at 5:41 pm)

A woman named Kelli Roman had her privileges on Facebook taken away. This is because she had posted photographs of herself breastfeeding her child.

Ottawa – A woman named Kelli Roman had her privileges on Facebook taken away. This is because she had posted photographs of herself breastfeeding her child.

Kelli even started a group on Facebook called “Hey Facebook, Breastfeeding is Not Obscene.â€

The group has become very popular and now has over sixty four thousand members. This is quite impressive. Her Facebook group is even going to have a virtual protest. The protest will involve people posting photographs of women, animals, or art that involve nursing. They are also going to change their online status to “Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!”

Women will even be nursing in front of Facebookâ€™s office in Palo Alto to show their support for the protest. This is going to be a huge event.

Many women were offended that Facebook viewed the photographs of a woman breastfeeding her child as obscene. Women breastfeed their children to keep them fed and help them grow and develop. It is not something to be ashamed of.

Facebook has a policy against obscene photographs being posted on their web site to protect children from seeing images that they should not see. This is a good policy because parents want to be able to trust their children while they are on social networking web sites. Facebookâ€™s spokesman Barry Schnitt said that most breastfeeding pictures are not removed, but if an entire breast is shown in the image then this violates the terms of their web site so they are removed. This does seem fair as long as people understand the policy. Hopefully, the two sides can agree on something so that there is some resolution involving this issue.

Hamilton – Though recently injured during a football game, Tom Brady hasn’t been down and out. On Christmas Eve, the quarterback for the New England Patriots presented an engagement ring to his girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen. Gisele Bundchen, a runway model for Victoria Secret, happily agreed to the marriage. Fans of this couple may soon be hearing wedding bells.

The couple has been dating for two years, not long after Brady left his pregnant girlfriend. Bundchen was dating Leonardo DiCaprio for several years before they finally split in 2005. After Brady left his girlfriend two years ago, the pair soon got together. Two years later, wedding bells are in the air.

After making the engagement official, NFL star Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen celebrated with roses and champagne. It is said that Gisele’s parents were onboard the private jet and witnessed the proposal. Many reports claim that the engagement is false, and Tom and Gisele are not engaged. Gisele’s twin sister also claimed that the rumors were false. Many reports believe that the couple are trying to keep the engagement a secret so not to distract his football team with the news.

Despite their attempts to keep this engagement secret, the media claims that they heard congratulations from the locker room of the New England Patriots before the big game. It is also claimed that Tom Brady was inquiring at a store about a five-carat engagement ring worth $145,000.

Only time will tell the rumors from the truth, and many fans may be disappointed or thrilled to know about the truth of these rumors.

Controversy Building Over Using Human Fat To Power Cars

On December 22, 2008, news broke about a California cosmetic surgeon who converted human fat from liposuctions into free fuel that he called lipo-diesel) for his SUV and his girlfriend's car. Dr. Carl Allen Bittner of Beverly Hills Liposculpture

Toronto – On December 22, 2008, news broke about a California cosmetic surgeon who converted human fat from liposuctions into free fuel that he called “lipo-diesel”) for his SUV and his girlfriend’s car. Dr. Carl Allen Bittner of Beverly Hills Liposculpture, may have continued until state authorities got word of what was posted on his website, www.lipodiesel.com. Liposuctioned fat is considered medical waste. Under California law, medical waste cannot be used for anything and must be properly disposed of, instead.

Innovative Or Impossible?

Arguments range in environmental and alternative energy groups as to whether Dr. Bittner was being innovative or being irresponsible. Although Dr. Bittner claims that his patients gave their consent to using their unwanted fat for lipo-diesel, some think this could start a disturbing trend, similar to selling body parts from corpses. Instead of looking to help patients, would doctors instead be looking to fill up their tanks for the weekend.

But some, like at Wired.com, doubt that the doctor had enough technical know-how in order to refine an effective vehicle fuel.

Paging Dr. Bitner

There is currently a lawsuit against Dr. Bittner from three of his former patients who claim that the doctor inform them of his intentions to fuel his SUV with their fat.

Dr. Bittner was not available for comment since he has been missing since November during a trip to Columbia, although his website claims he moved to Bogata. Beverly Hills Liposculpture and his website have since been closed.
