Why Baldwin and CAA split
Funny or Die Alec Baldwin Calls Dora
Rumors on the net are that this video is the reason that Alec Baldwin and his reps at CAA parted company. Reportedly Baldwin was upset by this mashup of his now famous voicemail, and requested that it be removed. The video is on the website, "Funny or Die" which is run Adam McKay and Will Farrell, who are also represented by CAA. According to the NY Post, Baldwin called and asked that CAA ask the site to take down the video, and when they refused to do so, it was over.

ABC News: Imus Producer Angry at Firing
ABC News: Imus Producer Angry at Firing
The former producer for the Don Imus show was talking about the end of the show and his job on Hannity and Colmes. On the Fox News channel show, Bernard McGuirk called Al Sharpton, a terrorist for his role in leading the charge.
While admitting that the statements that were made by himself and Imus were wrong, he expressed that it would be dangerious to have a society where we cannot poke fun at each other. The nature of the language involved in the dialogue clearly goes beyond the level of poking fun though in my opinion.
"It seemed like he terrorized broadcast executives," he said. "It seemed like they were in a fetal position under their desks sucking their thumbs on their Blackberrys, trying to coordinate their response."
While I agree with his statements about Sharpton, it is not reasonable to say that calling someone a "ho", even if it is not a racial slur, should be a joke. He goes on to complain about crossing the line, when he did not know where the line was. This is something that comes with freedom of speech, in a controlled environment it is easy to know what it allowed and what isn't. In a society like ours with changing standards it is possible that what is said one day, and accepted won't be the next. I think this means as a society we should extend a little patience and understanding to those who are willing accept their mistakes.

Iraq Sunni tribes build police force, fight al Qaeda - Yahoo! News
Iraq Sunni tribes build police force, fight al Qaeda - Yahoo! News
In defiance of the conflict that is tearing apart much of the country of Iraq, there are groups that are working with the Americans to create a stable society. Just a year ago Anbar provence was a scary place, both for Americans and Iraqis as terrorist controlled the region. Starting last summer, Sunni tribal leader Sheikh Abdulsattar Abu Risha, got together other tribal leaders and created the Anbar Salvation Council. The group has been able to recruit 20,000 police for the streets of the Sunni dominated province.
"The situation (in Anbar) was unbearable before, people were tortured, shot dead, bodies littered the streets. We couldn't even leave our homes to bury the dead," Abu Risha told Reuters from Ramadi by a crackly satellite phone.
While the province is still plagued by car bombs, according to US military officials their numbers have fallen.
"The number of attacks and incidents across the entire province has dropped significantly," said Brigadier-General Mark Gurganus, the U.S. Marine commander in charge of ground operations in Anbar, without giving details.

A Note from me....
I want to make a short note that I don't feel like I am giving you my loyal reads the high quality content that you deserve. I thought it might help to explain the end of the semester is coming up and I have been running night and day to get things done. I plan on providing a markedly better content level after this passes. I have been thinking about new information and new ways to share information. I really like the "Who is..." posts and I will do more of those, as well as more "Spin Zone" posts. I am thinking about doing reports on different countries to tell a little about thier history and their economic and polictical situation.
I hope you are enjoying this blog, and that you will continue to find its content to be informative and entertaining.

Wal-Mart to open 400 clinics within 3 years
Wal-Mart is making plans to open 400 clinics in its stores in the next three years. The clinics which will be operated through contracts with local hospitals and other local health care providers.
This is a continuation of a pilot program that resulted in the opening of 76 clinics in 12 states. The program is expected to boost the health of the stores shoppers as well as a draw to bring customers into the store.
"We think the clinics will be a great opportunity for our business. But most importantly, they are going to provide something our customers and communities desperately need - affordable access at the local level to quality health care," said Wal-Mart Chief Executive Officer Lee Scott in a statement

"I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it."
Alec Baldwin Explains Himself on the Web
"Although I have been told by numerous people not to worry too much, as all
parents lose their patience with their kids, I am most saddened that this was
released to the media because of what it does to a child," he wrote. "I'm sorry,
as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. I have
been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to
go through this to understand. (Although I hope you never do.) I am sorry for
what happened. But I am equally sorry that a court order was violated, which had
deliberately been put under seal in this case."

Rosie to Sheryl Crow: "Have You Seen My Ass?"
I understand Crow's point, and I don't want to get into details - I do think that there are many choices we make in our daily lives that could be made differently. On the other hand Rosie does have a good point, and I hope no one has to look at her ass.
Crow made her comments on her blog last week, and Rosie took a moment on this
morning's "The View" to express her incredulity at the supposedly
enviro-friendly suggestion. "Have you seen my ass?!" bellowed Rosie, and Barbara
Walters was good enough to warn viewers not to use their sleeves, another of
Crow's helpful suggestions.

Who else would have defended him?
Rosie O’Donnell Defends Alec Baldwin’s Outburst
As a person who has become known for her own outbursts, I guess it isn't too shocking that she would be defending Baldwin for his little outburst. While I understand that sometimes a parent will get upset at a child, the language he used is simply not right.
“I have to admit I have cursed at my kids sometimes. Honestly, you know, I’m
like get the (expletive). He’s very much of a tortured father who feels
alienated from his own child. When he was doing Broadway he flew out one day a
week. He’s trying to connect to this kid.”
“(Basinger) defies a lot of court orders for him to
visit the child, which I think is making him crazy. Not that that’s an excuse.
He actually did go to therapy. All the things that Kim asked him to do, he did.
He went to anger management. He went to — but if she —
(Basinger) defied all
the court orders."
The clearest comment that I have seen regarding this ordeal is this. Who really is the worse parent in this mess. The one who cursed her out over the phone, or the one who is dragging her divorce through the tabloids to the shame of all those involved. Parents get upset, and parents yell, to excuse it is to act like it doesn't harm the children, it does. However, is this the sort of harm that he should pay for by not being able to see his child anymore. I personally don't think that long term denial of visitation rights would be positive for Baldwin or his daughter.

Lohan's Hacked E-mails
Hackers claim to have worked their way into the Google/Blackberry/MySpace accounts for Lindsay Lohan. A couple of the pictures that have been circulating on the net, show that the mood between the Hollywood starlett crowd may be far less than friendly. In one of the e-mails from Lohan to Hilton, Lohan attacks Hilton for hanging out with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, and claims that they are out to get her.
In this e-mail Lohan claims that Perez has been giving Hilton special attention, while going out of his way to make Lohan sound like she is crazy. It is true that Perez and Hilton have a relationship that is about as appropriate as Maria Bartiromo and Todd Thomson. It has been pointed out by other sources that his coverage of Hilton is slanted, it should be remember that Perez is a blogger with no journalistic training.
This e-mail is in regards to the relationship that Paris Hitlon had with Travis Barker, while he was having troubles with his wife Shana Moakler. The tension between them was high, and resulted in Moakler attacking Hilton in a night club.
My Way News - Obama Addresses Question of Experience
My Way News - Obama Addresses Question of Experience
There has been talk in the media about democratic candidates moving towards Al Sharpton as a way to win over the black vote. I think that this is a risky move, because Sharpton is such a strong character, and I think a lot of people harbor some distrust for him and his politics.
My number one fear in moving towards Sharpton is that he is a black leader, even more so than Jesse Jackson. He is a leader that is only concerned with issues that relate to the black community, and he has that right and he does it well. However I think America is ready to move beyond a politics of race, and that means that the next president can't be a black president - maybe a president that is black.
America has been torn apart by this racial separation and it is time to set it behind us. However electing a person because they are black is just as bad as electing a person because they are white. I think that Obama has some strong ideas and in a couple years could develop some strong leadership skills. I think that this is not the election that he should be running in, that he would fare better waiting and showing himself in his senate seat.
Al Sharpton may have won the battle in the Imus controversy, but even as people bend to his will I think it is with a bitter taste in their mouth. His politics his a relic of the past, and it needs to be put away. I may be overly optimistic about this, but in the young generation, I don't believe race is as much of an issue.

The whole dating scene in Hollywood seems to be going a little crazy lately. While Paris Hilton was seen at a party in Las Vegas with Kevin Federline, rumors are circulating that she is dating James Blunt.
James Blunt, singer and song writer, famous for the song, "you're beautiful" is said to be having a relationship with Hilton that is serious. The couple have been seen by witnesses kissing at a Hollywood night club.
One on looker said; "“They were all over each other, they were dancing and holding hands, they both ended up back at Paris’ house.” "
When asked for comment, a spokesperson for Blunt said that this sounded like gossip. While she has a point that it is gossip, that hardly makes it false (only makes it more likely false).

There are rumors going around the internet that Al Gore is allowing a secret group to gather that could lead towards a run for the White House. We can assume that he would depend on his new found credentials as an environmentalist. Would he gather more votes than Hilary, who is viewed as being un-popular in the media.

Could Paris Hilton and Britney Spears' ex-husband be friends?
Paris and Nicky Hilton were seen with the divorced father at a party in the TOA night club. The party was for Jason Strauss' birthday and was held at the club inside The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.
Personally I am less shocked that they were seen together than the fact that Federline was even at a celebrity party. I thought his time was past already.

Who is Winona Ryder...
Born Winona Laura Horowitz on Oct. 29 1971 in Olmstead County, Minnesota. Her first name comes from the name of a town near where she was born. Her middle name Laura comes from the name of her parents friend, Laura Huxley.Her paternal grandparents came from Russia as immigrants, and he maternal grandparents came to the US from Romania. The family became friends with a number of famous names, including Timothy Leary (who was Winona's Godfather), beat poet Allen Ginsberg, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
At the age of seven, the Horowitz family moved to a commune near Elk, California. The location of the commune was remote, so Winona took up reading. It was at the commune, her mother showed her movies on a screen in the barn. It was watching these movies that started Winona's interest in an acting career.
When she was ten, the family moved to Petaluma, Calif., where when she joined the public school she was treated badly by a group of bullies that mistook her for a effeminate male. She was taken out of school and home-schooled after that incident. This is when she started going to the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, where she got her first acting lessons.
Her first movie role was in the 1986 movie "Lucas" as a friend to the main character. This is when she got the name Ryder, when asked how she wanted her name to appear in the credits she suggested the name Ryder because her father was listening to a Mitch Ryder album at the time.
Ryder's breakthrough hit came with the release of "Beetle Juice". A movie in which she played a main role along side big Hollywood talent like Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin and Micheal Keaton - who all played Ghosts. In the movie she is the only humyn that builds a relationship with the ghosts.
Ryder is best known for three movies, and one of the biggest is Heathers. Heathers released in 1989. In the movie she plays a disenchanted teenager that plays the forces that surround her against each other for her own gain.
The movie I most often think about in regards to Ryder is "Girl Interrupted", based on the book by Susanna Kaysen. She plays a young teenager that is experiencing depression and is sent to a mental hospital for a short time to sort things out. In this movie she plays along side such stars as Angelina Jolie and Brttany Murphy.
Other hit movies that she has been in include Edward Scissor Hands" with her then boy friend Johnny Depp. "Little Women", along stars like Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes and Christian Bale. Her latest movie, "A Scanner Darkly" is based on a book by Phillip K. Dick.
In 1993 Ryder took an interest in the case of missing girl, Poly Klass. Klass had been taken from her home in Petaluma, where Ryder had lived for a short period while she was growing up. She offered a $200,000 reward for the childs safe retutn. After the death of Poly Klass, Ryder dedicated the movie she was working on at the time, "Little Women", to Klass's memory.
She was engaged to Johnny Depp for three years, during which time he got a tattoo that said "Winona forever", after their break-up he changed the tattoo to "wino forever". She has also had relationships with Matt Damon and Dave Pirner from Soul Asylum.

Wisconsin teen 'freaked out,' didn't intend to kill - CNN.com
Wisconsin teen 'freaked out,' didn't intend to kill - CNN.com
The teenager told police in a video taped interview that he never meant to kill anyone.
In the tape, the teen, Eric Hainstock tells police that he brought the gun to school because other kids there were picking on him and the school had done nothing to stop them. He tells detectives that when the principal grabbed him from behind he just freaked and put the gun under his arm and fired.
"It was just 'pop!' and then a couple seconds later 'pop!' and then a couple seconds later, 'pop!'" Hainstock said.
But Hainstock has a history of violence. One teacher took the stand to talk about a previous out burst where he had challenged a teacher to a fight and thrown a chair across the room. Hainstock had been in anger management classes, which he said were useless.
The debate is to decide if he will be charged as an adult under the law or as a minor. If he is charged as a minor he will be free when he turns 25. A sentence as an adult would land him in jail much longer.

Snarky Gossip - Marilyn Manson milks some publicity out of the Virginia Tech massacre
In an interview with BBC, Manson told the interviewer that he will probably be blamed for the Virgina Tech shooting like he was blamed for Columbine. I doubt that will be the case, at the time of Columbine he had a couple fans, now he has none. I don't think that his influence on anyone is a great as it was in the late 90s, otherwise everyone would be breaking up with their hot lovers and dating teenagers.
