As part of the effort to save the Hollywood sign, a conservationist group has permission to cover the iconic hilltop letters and display the message Save the Peak.
The nonprofit Trust for Public Land are hoping to save the Cahuenga Peak, which consists of 138 acres adjacent to the Hollywood sign that sits on government property. The group needs another $6.2 million to save the landmark from becoming the plot for four oversized homes, which would eff up the view and a bunch of hiking trails.
The temporary environmental message will be put up on Wednesday and last till the following Monday.
Devoted celebrity followers of Trust for Public Land include Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Virginia Madsen, Tippi Hedren, John Slattery, Aisha Tyler, Julian McMahon, James Kyson-Lee, Beau Garrett and Katherine Morris.
Ashlee Simpson recently told anyone who would listen that she's ready for more children with husband Pete Wentz. Apparently she loves "being a mother."
“We’re together all the time. Bronx is definitely finding himself, and he’s getting his own personality, so hide-and-seek, and new little things. He does sign language, so that’s been fun.”
The greasy couple also apparently have Valentine's Day plans that don't involve Ashlee watching Undiscovered on repeat while Pete sexts her pictures of his peen!
“Every Valentine’s Day is sweet. Pete’s very creative, so he’s always coming up with something clever and surprising me. Hopefully I’ll surprise him this year.”
With what? An acting role you won't get fired from or an album that will sell? Bwa ha ha!
Straight from the funnyman's mouth! There will be a Ghostbusters 3, and Bill Murray WILL be back.
However, he wants to be KILLED OFF in the first reel!!
WTF?? Really??
The actor recently said:
"I'll come back in Ghostbusters 3 only if I get to be a ghost. I said to them, 'I'll do it if you kill me off in the first reel.' So, now they are going to have me as a ghost in the film. The first 45 minutes of the original Ghostbusters is some of the funniest stuff ever made. The second one was disappointing, because the special-effects guys took over. I had something like two scenes– and they're the only funny ones in the movie."
Two unnamed writers from the hit series The Office have been working on a script for quite some time, and original director Ivan Reitman, as well as Sigourney Weaver, have both confirmed they'll be back to start shooting this year.
What do U think?? Are U excited for a third Ghostbusters??
On Super Bowl Sunday, an ad for the Air Force used music that suspiciously sounded like The White Stripes song Fell In Love With A Girl. Having had this ad brought to their attention, the Stripes and their management are royally pissed off and have released a statement, announcing their intention to take action to stop the song running in the ad. The statement reads:
WE BELIEVE OUR SONG WAS RE-RECORDED AND USED WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE WHITE STRIPES, OUR PUBLISHERS, LABEL OR MANAGEMENT.
THE WHITE STRIPES TAKE STRONG INSULT AND OBJECTION TO THE AIR FOCE RESERVES PRESENTING THIS ADVERTISEMENT WITH THE IMPLICATION THAT WE LICENSED ONE OF OUR SONGS TO ENCOURAGE RECRUITMENT DURING A WAR THAT WE DO NOT SUPPORT.
THE WHITE STRIPES SUPPORT THIS NATION’S MILITARY, AT HOME AND DURING TIMES WHEN OUR COUNTRY NEEDS AND DEPENDS ON THEM. WE SIMPLY DON’T WANT TO BE A COG IN THE WHEEL OF THE CURRENT CONFLICT AND HOPE FOR A SAVE AND SPEEDY RETURN HOME FOR OUR TROOPS.
WE HAVE NOT LICENSED THIS SONG TO THE AIR FORCE RESERVE AND WE PLAN TO TAK STRONG ACTION TO STOP THE AD CONTAINING THIS MUSIC.
Listen to the song and then CLICK HERE to see the Air Force Reserve ad.
REALLY?? Do we honestly need another social networking tool?
According to Google…YES!
Google Buzz will be showing up in about 1% of gmail user accounts starting today, and everyone else should have it within the week.
The application will allow users to share status updates, images, and video.
It sounds to us just like Facebook or Twitter, but apparently there are a few reasons Google wants you to think Buzz is better:
1. Blends With Gmail
The main way of accessing Google Buzz will be through Gmail. Below your inbox, there will be a tab for Buzz, allowing you to read status updates, photos and video. The 40 people you converse with the most in Gmail and Gchat are automatically added as friends. Buzz updates also appear in your inbox if someone comments on your updates or comments, or someone directs a Buzz to your attention by using the familiar "@" symbol.
2. "Page Rank" for Status Updates
Google brought up that familiar criticism of social networks, that no one cares if you ate a bagel or stubbed your toe. To compensate for noise, Google Buzz lets you like and dislike status updates, and learn over time whether to show or collapse status updates from your friends. It also looks for conversations outside your direct group of followers and adds them to your feed as recommendations.
3. Media Gets Pulled In
Photos from Flickr and Picasa and video from YouTube appear as thumbnails in Google Buzz. Click a YouTube thumbnail, and the video will expand to play inline. Click on a photo, and it'll expand to fill most of the browser window, with the rest of the gallery in a narrow strip along the bottom of the screen. If you post a link in Buzz, you'll automatically be able to append images and the headline from that Web page. Finally, you can pull in tweets from Twitter (but no Facebook updates) into Buzz. Unfortunately, you can't send your Buzz updates out to Twitter or other social networks.
4. Mobile Features
Google Buzz will be available as a mobile Web app, letting you dictate status updates by voice and geotag your posts. When looking on Google Mobile Maps, Buzz updates appear directly on the map, so you can read location-based updates. You can also look for any recent Buzz updates posted near your current location.
5. Private and Public
With each update you send, you'll have a choice of making it private or public. Private updates can go to all of your Buzz followers, or just a select group. Public updates are posted on your Google Profile page and are immediately indexed for Google Search.
Hmm…hasn't shown up in our gmail yet!!! Still sounds to us just like another unnecessary way to publicize absolutely nothing to nobody in particular, but we'll see how it catches on!!
We guess they're trying to nip those break-up rumors in the bud!
Gossip Girl's real-life couple Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were putting on a mayjah public display of affection at the Maxim Super Bowl party at Miami's Raleigh Hotel.
"They spent most of the night dodging cameras in one of the back cabanas, where they were making out like crazy," says an eyewitness. "It looked like they were having sex."
Sounds like a scene out of GG! We're starting to wonder how much Ed really is like Chuck Bass!
Who better to know Tiger Woods' fate then a man of God?
The Rev. Ricky Kirton, the pastor who married Tiger to his wife Elin Nordegren, has a message for the troubled couple, one he thinks will bring them some comfort to forge ahead:
"Forgive each other. Be there for each other, and it will work out."
Oh, it's also good to know that he is praying for you both too. So, you guys have that.
Honestly, we'd hate to see Elin pull a Brooke Mueller and turn a blind eye on all the shit Tiger has put her through. Granted their situations are different, but we can't really see Elin forgiving Tiger this soon.
Perhaps the good Reverend can help.
But how interesting that the church feels so inclined to outstretch a prayer to those who have REPEATEDLY broken one of those ten golden rules they hold so dear, yet some of us are considered unsaveable?
