According to reports, legendary rocker Rod Stewart is being sued for 3.3- million by his own lawyers.
The “Maggie May” singer, faces a lawsuit from Glaser, Weil, Fink, Jacobs, Howard & Shapiro, for allegedly failing to pay his legal bills.
Actually he’s paid the majority of his bills. The law firm has represented Stewart on many occasions and have been paid 19 other times.
The firm, a specialist in entertainment law, claims Stewart hasn’t paid for three high-profile cases it conducted in his defense.
They include a cancelled show in 2000, a trademark infringement case and a lawsuit from a concert promoter.
Stewart is yet to comment on the issue.
Stewart has yet to comment — probably because he’s looking for a new lawyer.
The case of Major Nidal Hassan has shocked the nation as his apparent Fort Hood shooting rampage highlights how the military could have missed the warning signs and an emerging possible threat from Muslim soldiers. As the accusations begins to fly in political circles and a series of investigations are being conducted into the matter the biggest question being asked is: why?
Numerous reports have begun to surface about the overall conduct of Hassan over the last several years. Some good examples of this can be seen by looking no further than an Army report that was conducted on Hasan when he was doing his residency at Walter Reed Medical Center in 2007. With the report claiming how he lacked professionalism and did not use good judgment. These warnings signs only become even more troublesome when you consider the facts that Hasan regularly missed work, failed important exams, was reprimanded for inappropriate religious discussions and the fact that he communicated with a Muslim cleric in Yemen only shows how no one was able to figure what was happening. Had any one of Hasan’s superiors been able to piece together what occurring he more than likely would not be in the Army much less in the medical profession.
The biggest loser has helped Rebecca Meyer lose a ton of weight, and gain a boyfriend. What a deal! Meyer who is 25, met Daniel Wright, 20, at the Biggest Loser ranch. What started out as just a very basic friendship turned into a serious romance between the two.
Since leaving the ranch, Meyer has lost a total of 122 pounds. She looks absolutely stunning. She has wowed the public with her dramatic transformation. Her body is very toned, and she looks very happy and healthy. She started the Biggest Lose at 304 pounds.
Their romance did not start until they were both eliminated from the show. It started with talking over the phone for hours, and now they see each other often. They do live in different states, but that does not stop them from supporting each other in their continued weight loss battle.
They provide encouragement to one another when it is needed, and visit each other’s gyms while visiting. There had been speculation about the relationship when they were both on the show, but neither admitted it, until Meyer was eliminated recently.
There have been shortages in the past for many different products that people use every day, but no one ever thought they would see a waffle shortage. Until now, that is.
Kelloggs has reported that we are currently experiencing a shortage of their Eggo brand waffles, a favorite breakfast treat for many families. The shortage was caused by several of their main plants that produce the Eggo waffles having been shut down for various reasons. One plant in Atlanta was shut down due to a storm for an undisclosed period of time in September 2009. Many production lines in a plant in Tennessee have been shut down until repairs can be made.
Kelloggs does not have an exact time that Eggo waffles will be stocked as usual at your local grocery store, but they estimate that it will be sometime in the summer of 2010.
For now, it is suggested that if you must have your Eggo’s, you might need to ration them out. Buy them up while you can, and try to make them last.
Jennifer Hudson will soon play the role of Ms Madikizela-Mandela, who is one of the most celebrated yet controversial figures South Africa has ever seen. She is the ex-wife of Nelson Mandela and was responsible for freeing him from prison on Robben Island after twenty seven years of incarceration. This is one of the reasons for her popularity, even though they were divorced a short four years later.
Ms Madikizela-Mandela, also known as Winnie, has also been linked to a murder. A young activist named Stompie Seipei was thought by some to be an informer for the apartheid government. Many believe this is what led to her kidnap and death. Ms Madikizela-Mandela has denied any involvement, but most believe she played a role. She has also been charged with theft and fraud, which took place in 2003.
Jennifer Hudson will have the challenge of doing such a dynamic character justice on the big screen. Based on her successes to date, it would probably be wise to put your money on her opposed to against her. This could also act as an avenue toward a bigger role in the entertainment world. It’s unlikely she would let such a great opportunity slip away.
The singer and sister of the late Michael Jackson recently spoke out about her brother’s death.
She says that not only is Dr. Conrad Murray to blame for the untimely death, but he should no longer be allowed to practice medicine.
During a special In the Spotlight interview with ABC News, Janet revealed to Robin Roberts, “He was the one that was administering. I think he is responsible.”
Dr. Conrad Murray, who was the King of Pop’s personal physician, is the focus of an ongoing investigation for manslaughter for Michael’s death on June 25 this year. Michael Jackson died at the age of 50 following an overdose of propofol. Murray has confessed to administering the drug to his client, but denies giving him anything that could have killed him. “I will be fine. I have done all I could do. I told the truth,” said Murray about the investigation.
Janet Jackson also revealed how difficult it’s been to deal with her brother’s death.
She explained, “It’s been a tough year. You have your days where it’s just really — it’s hard to believe. And a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him.”
She added, “It’s still so difficult for me to believe. It’s, you know, you have to accept what is. But it’s hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that.”
The singer also revealed that she had seen her brother just two days before his death. She recalled that he was very happy and they laughed a lot together that day.
Last night Joanna Krupa was the latest celebrity voted off the hugely popular reality show Dancing With The Stars.
Today, fans are outraged with the results.
Bob Toboz says:
Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough were fantastic for the
whole season. It should have been Mya and her partner,
then Joanna and Derek then Kelly and her partner.
Derek is an inspiration for all men who enjoying dancing. The show was ruined by the loss of these two and keeping Donnie on no matter how good a performer he is.
No wonder he was smiling he pulled off a fast one on a
tremendous dancer in Derek.
Pam Hertner says:
What a huge disappointment to see Joanna eliminated last night. This is supposed to be a DANCE CONTEST not a popularity (or fan-based) contest. This has been our favorite show but my husband and I may not even watch the rest of the shows or even any next season. The judges should carry more weight than viewers. Joanna has been a delight to watch.
Lori says:
Why should everyone stop watching the show or say it is rigged. It is upfront when they say it is the judge scores and the fan vote. That is what the show says. It is based on the fan vote also those of the judges. So it is upfront with they say this. So if you want to quit watching quit. But it is not a professional dance circuit. It is Dancing with the Stars and it does include the fan vote. That is just what makes the show the way it is. Why do you think the stars are asking for calls. Because that is how the show is set up. It is a competition but it is also about supporting your favorite star. Joanan Krupa was an amazing dancer. But again the fan vote is what makes Dancing with the Stars the show it is.
Anne Seegers says:
I was furious! If this is a popularity show, why learn to dance well? Let the judges rule at least by 3/4. If it stays this way or Mya doesn’t win, I’m through. Donnie and Kelly should not be there. Don’t call this a dancing competition! What a bad joke!!
gail says:
Agree that Donnie should have been gone weeks ago. The judges promoted him by not giving any bad marks to him. It was always “what an entertainer you are, Donnie.” I understand he even took dancing lessons but still he is just show boating. What a whiner not a winner. Be gone, overdue.
Cathy says:
Everyone can’t be a winner, thats why its a competetion !! The only reason some of you are so upset about Joanna being voted off is that she did the playboy thing. Guess it didn’t help her any taking her clothes off ! Besides Donnie has come along way.
MARGARET says:
you could tell last week that it was fixed for mya to win!joanna and derek got rave reviews every week but never got more than a 9,mya had some lousy comments but got 10’s.there is also no way dmetry is better than derek! the final 3 should’ve been joanna,donnie,kelly!!
maureen jones says:
I think these shows where the public votes has become a joke donny osmond please!! i am 15 years older then him i know good dancing when i see it. Joanna should
still be on the show wonderful dancer i have myfavorite personalities on the show also but if
i saw they were not dancing will iam not going to
vote for them looking for best dancers it is based on
popularity if donnie wins will all know it is a popularity contest
kaklb says:
Other seasons some celebs lasted longer than their dancing; the past couple–good celeb dancers left earlier than others, ie Kelly and Donnie should have left b/4 female swimmer and Aaron – – Joanna leaving b/4 Kelly and Donnie – it’s become a farce!!!! Give the judges MORE of the vote – to get the BEST DANCER!! Seems the judges this season expected MORE of Mya and Joanna – wasn’t it just 2 wks ago that they were telling Kelly she better pick it up – they gave her praise and 8’s when she admittedly screwed up and where was her zip in her jitterbug – go back and look – nowhere near the others – expect the SAME out of all of them and judge accordingly..
brittney says:
i do not think joanna should gotten voted off. Kelly anLouie should have been voted off, but it is what the viewers think,so i am diappointed.
Suzanne says:
I agree that it has become a popularity show. I was furious when Kelly Osburne was one of the finalist. The judges should have the final say, not the fans. Joanna should have been in the finals
Disappointed says:
I was disappointed AGAIN this year on voters choice who went home. I think when it comes down to it that fan voting is all wrong and perhaps this should be eliminated! For now it is CYSTAL CLEAR it is becoming a popularity vote and not a vote on dancing AT ALL!
barb says:
Donnie, should have been voted off a long time ago, all he has going for him is his name. The Ladies out dance him, in every way.
Is there a fairer way to vote?????
JoAnn says:
I think the finalists should have been Mya, Aaron, and Joanna. Kelly and Donnie are obviously not as good as the other 3. There has to be some way to make it fairer. It’s not supposed to be a popularity contest and that’s what it’s turning into!
Penelope Cruz was on The Late Show last night to promote her new film Broken Embraces.
Cruz, who has been dating fellow Spanish actor Javier Bardem since 2007 was not wiling to dish out the details on any future wedding or baby plans.
David Letterman asked the actress, 35, point-blank if she’s engaged to Bardem, 40. “I don’t feel comfortable talking about my private life in public,” she said, laughing.
“I’ve been here a few times with you, you know I’m tough. One thing I don’t do, I don’t lie about my personal life,” she said. “It’s sacred to me. It’s my life. But I don’t give details about it because I am allergic to that.”
Not one to give up easily, Letterman finally asked, “So you know, but you don’t want to tell me?” Responded Cruz, giggling, “I know, but I choose not to share some things!”
The couple have appeared in several films together including “Jamon, Jamon” in 1992, “Live Flesh” in 1997
