Maggie Gyllenhaal to Be in Raunchy Underwear Video

Maggie Gyllenhaal who is clearly comfortable with her body (I mean, who else actually exposes her boob in the middle of the West Village?) will star in promotional videos for the British underwear company Agent Provocateur. Last year Kate Moss did it, and it scored a lot of attention. Maybe they’ll do a [...]

Cheryl Cole Discusses Charity With Prince Charles

Written by Tim Saunders

Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has met with Prince Charles to discuss her plans for a new charity.

Photo: Cheryl Cole and Prince Charles

Cole is set to launch a new foundation in aid of the Prince's Trust, a charity set up by the Prince of Wales in 1976 to help disadvantaged young people start their own businesses and get on their feet.

“Too many young people grow up thinking no-one cares and don’t believe they can make anything of themselves,” says Cole. "They have so much potential – but can go off the rails without the right care and support. I want my Foundation to help them realise their potential and get their lives on track.

“I have always been a great admirer of the work of the Prince’s Trust with disadvantaged young people across the UK. It’s the perfect charity for my Foundation to support.”

Russell Simmons Sells New Jersey Mansion for $10 Million

Filed under: ,


Animal Fair Media / Getty Images

Russell Simmons doesn't exactly hide his wealth. He just published a book called 'Super Rich: A Guide To Having It All.' Simmons continues to add to his hefty bank account with the recent sale of his trademark mansion located in New Jersey for a reduced price of $10 million.

The expansive property was originally listed in August 2006 at an asking price of $24 million. As reported by Homes of the Rich, the Saddle River, N.J. property dropped from that figure to $20 million and then slowly trickled down to the lower asking price. The property runs approximately 35,000 square-feet and has an incredible amount of amenities including a 50-seat home movie theater and majestic indoor pool. The deal was completed on Feb. 15 to a buyer that wishes to remain private.

{cooking up some love}

Photobucket

Oh for the love of love...

I am currently scrambling to find a recipe that would make husband feel good about the fact that we are buddies amongst a few other things. Pictured above is a beautiful cover of Gourmet magazine which seems to make me think of Valentine's Day. You see I associate Valentine's Day with cooking a nice meal. A few years back I made a very tasty recipe using mussels very close to this one and husband loved it. For us Valentine's Day is a reason to make something a little fancier than the norm and it is usually good that those meals are a little more time intensive because it always allows me to focus and think about the one I am cooking for. Plus the added bonus is that my husband would want nothing more than a really good meal so it is a win win situation....especially if he would come home with a jar of my favorite honey. (I am serious, I love gourmet raw honey)

Well if nobody has told you that they love you today then let me take the chance to let you know that on behalf of Full House that you are LOVED!!

Have a great day all of you love muffins.

Justin Bieber Cuts Hair, Fans Mourn

Justin Bieber debuts his new hairstyle in this yet-to-be-released video with Rascal Flatts
Justin Bieber debuts his new hairstyle in this yet-to-be-released video with Rascal Flatts

We knew this day would come. But who knew it would be sooner rather than later. Justin Bieber has decided to get a haircut! Yes, the famous shaggy swoop is no more.

And the sound that you hear is a million girls screaming out: "Nooooo!"

"yeah so it's true...i got a lil haircut...i like it...and we are giving all the hair cut to CHARITY to auction. Details coming soon." Justin tweeted to his fans.

Immediately, fans got on Twitter to mourn, trending the hashtag #riphairflip.

The reason for the haircut? The Biebs told TMZ that he wanted to change things up and sport a more mature look. "It's been three years and my hair was always getting in my eyes and it was time for a change," Justin, who turns 17 on 1 March, said.

The new hair style, dubbed Justin Bieber 2011 by his hairstylist Vanessa Price, has received mixed response from fans. While some (true) Beliebers love the new look, it has been reported that some hated it so much, they unfollowed Justin on Twitter. There are rumours floating around that some 80,000 fans unfollowed The Biebs after the hair cut.

Wow, that serious huh?

'The Bachelor': Could this GET any more awkward?

Head on over to the LA Times Showtracker blog for a look at last night's "Bachelor."

My favorite part is this tidbit about Alli and Brad's one-on-one date:

I don't care how adventurous a girl is, walking through a dark cave with bats fluttering around your head and then having a "picnic" on a soaking wet blanket on a cold rock is no one's ideal date. But things only got worse when the pair went to dinner, where Alli seemed completely oblivious to the fact that there was no chemistry between [her] and Brad. I cringed when she started telling Brad how she dumped her last boyfriend because she couldn't see standing next to him at the altar, and Brad followed by saying that was the way he actually felt about her. Brutal.

And dude, Michelle, just go, OK?

Tom Morello Joins Protests In Wisconsin

Written by Delinda Lombardo

The newly elected Republican governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, has set his sights on forcing public workers to pay more for benefits, but the people of Wisconsin have gathered in throngs to protest what amounts to the elimination of most collective bargaining rights for public employees.

Protestors have been holding their ground at the states capital, Madison, where nearly 70,000 turned out for Saturday’s rallies for and against the bill.

Ed Schultz, host of The Ed Show on MSNBC TV, who is broadcasting live from the capital, explained the motivation behind the protests: “They’re fighting to hold what they have earned. They’re fighting to hold on to the American dream. The protesters just want fairness. They want the right to negotiate, the right to hang on to their hard-earned money.”

Perhaps Governor Walker – who has so far refused to change the pending policy – seems to have underestimated the power of the people, as 100,000 are expected to flood Madison on Monday.

Stepping up to join in the fervor and support hard working Americans are several celebrities.

Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine sent out a tweet February 19 which read: “The Battle of Madison, The Nightwatchman is on his way! Monday/100k expected. History in the streets. Be there, I will. It’s ON.”

Also lending their support are the 2011 Super Bowl Champions, the Green Bay Packers. Notably, players Brady Poppinga and Jason Spitz and former Packers Curtis Fuller, Chris Jacke, Charles Jordan, Bob Long and Steve Okoniewski, who issued the following statement:

“We know that it is teamwork on and off the field that makes the Packers and Wisconsin great. As a publicly owned team we wouldn’t have been able to win the Super Bowl without the support of our fans. It is the same dedication of our public workers every day that makes Wisconsin run. They are the teachers, nurses and child care workers who take care of us and our families. But now in an unprecedented political attack Governor Walker is trying to take away their right to have a voice and bargain at work. The right to negotiate wages and benefits is a fundamental underpinning of our middle class. When workers join together it serves as a check on corporate power and helps ALL workers by raising community standards. Wisconsin’s long standing tradition of allowing public sector workers to have a voice on the job has worked for the state since the 1930s. It has created greater consistency in the relationship between labor and management and a shared approach to public work. These public workers are Wisconsin’s champions every single day and we urge the Governor and the State Legislature to not take away their rights.”

Dave Zirin, sports editor for The Nation magazine and frequent guest on MSNBC, ESPN, and Democracy Now, spoke to Ed Garvey, the former head of the NFL Players Association, who told him:

“More Packers have now stood up for Wisconsin workers than DC democrats!”

But what Zirin, and most of the people of Wisconsin want, is the Packers union rep and star player, Aaron Rogers, to step up and lend his voice.

Zirin writes: “Rodgers is a graduate of Cal Berkeley, so he’s hardly unfamiliar with the power of protest. Also according to my sources at the NFLPA, he’s a fantastic union rep, so he’s hardly unfamiliar with the critical necessity of collective bargaining rights. The crowds in Madison are aware of this as well. I saw dozens of Rodgers jerseys and signs that read, ‘Aaron Rodgers is a union rep!’”

Protests inside and outside Wisconsin are continuing to gain momentum, for resources and up-to-date info on what’s happening on the ground, check out:

Student Labor Action Coalition.

'Live to Dance' recap: The finalists take the stage

Janell is back to recap last night's Live to Dance finals. *jazz hands*:

Are you ready for this, America? Andrew Gunsberg would like to know. Andrew is ready, he even flips his microphone up into the air and catches it, that’s how ready he is. The judges are already seated, they’re so ready. You know who’s not ready? The zombie moppet crew. The People of America didn’t vote for them. Kendall Glover was voted in last week, and she’ll be the only soloist of the night. Don’t worry about Kendall, she’s always ready. You know what I’m ready for? The end of Andrew’s “one dance, once chance” rhyme. Yes, I get it, and you’re very clever. Let’s move on. It’s the finals!

Ooh, we’re starting off with Twitch, starring Anthony! Three of the dancers will be graduating, so this is their last time dancing together after 10 years. They have a red-carpet stairway, and they’re dancing to the song “Paparazzi.” Anthony! is missing his shirt again. They have funky poses and Anthony! spins a lot, but it’s not an emotional number like their other ones, and the moves aren’t striking enough to make me love it as much as I want to. Nevermind, though, Travis screams that it was awesome. Kimberly saw diversity and training. Paula pushes Anthony! to do different variations of turns and tells the group to work on breaking the mold. They get 3 gold stars.

Celebrity Support For Anti-Bloodsports Charity

Written by Tim Saunders

A British charity has raised celebrity support against fox hunting and other blood sports.

Among the stars who have given their names to the League Against Cruel Sports’ campaigns are The Smiths’ Morrissey and Johnny Marr, as well as Ricky Gervais, Brian Cox, Gemma Atkinson, Tom Conti, Tony Robinson, Bill Oddie, David Jason, Alesha Dixon, former Dr Who Colin Baker and Watership Down author Richard Adams.

The League is a charity that brings together people who want to stop cruelty to animals in the name of sport. Established in 1924, the organization successfully uses lawful investigations, campaigning and lobbying to make a difference in the UK and around the world.

“Animals are not around just for people to abuse and kill in the name of so-called entertainment and sport,” says Ricky Gervais. “It’s beyond belief that it actually happens and that certain deluded people get enjoyment from it. I support the League and its campaigns to try and stop cruel sports.”

“The moral climate surely tells all intelligent people that the key to the extent of any person’s humanity is in their relationship to – and protection of – animals,” adds Morrissey, who is known for his hard-line animal activism. “People who hunt are under delusions of possession and property and divine right, and their debasement of human standards is always evident in their outrage at ever being questioned about their activities.”
