charlie sheen today show

Charlie Sheen will be seen on the NBC morning show today discussing his recent trouble with CBS and the bosses of his hit show "Two and a Half Men" who cancelled the program following an on air tirade that Sheen unleashed on his boss. He talked with Jeff Rossen of NBC News and it is to be shown in the first hour of Monday's programme.

ABC previously had claimed the first Sheen interview since "Men"-gate went down last week; it will air excerpts from Sheen's talk with Andrea Canning on Monday's "Good Morning America" and a "20/20" special at 10 p.m. ET Tuesday. NBC has now jumped to the front of the line and can totally call "First!" We're assuming that CBS' "Early Show" is probably not in the running for a Sheen exclusive at this point.

So Sheen will be seen divulging more information on why he launched an attack on his show boss and more thoughts on the incident.

kirk douglas oscars

Last night veteran actor Kirk Douglas found himself upstaging the actual hosts of the oscars ceremony which were Anne Hathaway and James Franco with an entertaining display that showed up Hathaway and Franco who were the youngest hosts in Oscars history.

After quipping that he wished actresses were as beautiful in his heyday as Hathaway -- to this, she fanned herself and feigned feeling faint -- the "Spartacus" star grabbed the best supporting actress envelope and said, "Now, the most important part..." As the nominees waited awkwardly with bated breath, Douglas responded by stuffing the envelope in his mouth and proceeding to fight over his cane with a strapping young man who was on the stage to help him get around. "I always lose," he said as the taller man finally wrestled the cane away from him.

So an amusing display from the veteran actor who is 94 years old and was able to put a spark into the event with his antics.

chris brown blonde hair

Chris Brown has sought after a new blonde hairstyle as he is looking to find some more F.A.M.E in the run up to the release of his fourth album which is entitled F.A.M.E. which is set to be released on the 22nd of March. The picture which premiered his new hairstyle was released on Twitter early Sunday Morning.

"Look at me now," he tweeted, along with a photo of his new light-colored hair as he appeared to be deep in conversation during a recent dinner outing. The move comes days after new photos cropped up stemming from the singer's infamous altercation with Rihanna prior to the 2009 Grammys. At the time, a fuzzy image circulated of a black and blue Rihanna, but new photos released on Wednesday showed more detail of the "Only Girl (In the World)" singer's injuries, including cuts lining her mouth.

So possibly a cunning move by the singer who is going for a new image to help gain him more attention and help his material get more exposure.

jon cryer on charlie sheen

Charlie Sheen's co star on "Two and a Half Men", Jon Cryer has spoken out about his reaction to the show getting cancelled and he has said that he is "shocked" about what he heard and he is the first castmember to speak out following this week's sudden turn of events with the show.

Commenting via Twitter, Cryer wrote: “It’s too sad! Sorry guys, that you must hear so bad news! I’m also shocked!” Cryer, who plays Sheen’s brother on the long-running CBS hit, retweeted a follower who commented “Two and a Half Men is axed.”CBS pulled the plug on its top-rated comedy following Sheen’s string of hostile interviews earlier this week bashing Men executive producer Chuck Lorre. Famous comedian Denis Leary tweeted, "Is it just me or is Charlie Sheen starting to sound a lot like Moammar Kaddafi?"

So Jon Cryer, his main co star on the show has given his reaction along with other celebrities, who next will reveal more on the strange outburst from Sheen?

twitter down

It seems to be that the Twitter server is down at the moment and users can't access the site. The status site has left a note saying “Currently experiencing elevated error rates — You may experience some problems loading twitter.com and with Twitter clients. We are aware of the problem and are taking action.”

Based on some searches on Google, it does appear that some people are able to post messages — it does look like if you use a third-party client (Seesmic, HooterSuite, TweetDeck) you might still be able to get in. This is the first time for an extended Twitter outage in quite a long time. In the old days of Twitter outages, we would all hop on the bus to Friendfeed but that is no longer an option since many have left that service. If you are a social media ninja, social media rockstar and are really upset or need someone to talk to because of this outage, please call 867-5309.

So it seems a lot of people who use the Twitter site will be disgruntled with the technical fault and will want to know why it occured.

charlie sheen rant

Charlie Sheen has been caught on microphone sticking it to his boss and the penalty for the loose tongue has been harsh and immediate. The show in which he has kept his name famous in recent years, "Two and a Half Men" has been cancelled and he is out of a job.

CBS and Warner Bros. Television, which produces the hit sitcom, shut down the show for the rest of the season. The decision was based on a series of interviews in which Sheen excoriated “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre, first on Alex Jones’ conspiracy-minded radio show, and then to TMZ.com. “I’ve spent, I think, close to the last decade, I don’t know, effortlessly and magically converting [Lorre’s] tin cans into pure gold,” he told Jones. “And the gratitude I get is this charlatan chose not to do his job, which is to write.” Angry that the show didn’t resume production when he felt ready, Sheen slammed Lorre as a “clown” and referred to him as “Chaim Levine,” a Hebrew variation on his birth name, Charles Levine.

So Sheen has had to pay a heavy price for airing his views as brutal as he did and he will no doubt be regretting it.

lincoln tunnel accident

More news on the accident that occurred in the Manhatten-bound center tube of the Lincoln Tunnel early this morning, has been revealed. The New York Fire Department claim two buses crashed into a motorbike in the tunnel. The Motorcycylist is apparently severely injured and had been taken to Bellevue Hospital in Manhatten.

He has received a fractured femur and shoulder, an NYFD spokesperson said. The crash victim was intubated at the hospital, the spokesperson added. A total of 52 people were injured in the incident. Some were treated at the scene, while 13 were taken to Roosevelt Hospital in New York. North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue Co-Director Jeff Welz spoke with Port Authority officials who estimated that the center tube will remain closed for a "good part of the day" as officials investigate the accident.

So a shocking accident and hopefully there were no extreme ramifications for the people injured in it.

natalie kenly

Charlie Sheen has played the field as of late, being seen with many female friends but it appears only one of them is the apple of his eye. The star of "Two and a Half Men" has been seen partying hard with porn stars and prostitutes but now it appears he is focused on one report radar online and that is a 24-year old woman called Natalie Kenly.

Kenly, the site says, is a graphic designer who was a cheerleader at Sherman Oaks HIgh School in Los Angeles. She also has a history of partying -- though, while Sheen has been a wild child since the 80s, Kenly was arrested for underage drinking in 2006. So there's a bit of an age gap. Sheen and Kenly were seen smooching on Tuesday(pictured left). At the time, Sheen wasn't too interested in sharing her identity with the world (unless she has a very unique nickname), telling inquiring reporters, "None of your f**king business."

So it appears the classic 80's actor has found a new flame with this young lady and time will tell how long it lasts.

deadliest catch star found dead

Fisherman on the show "Deadliest Catch", Justin Tennison was found dead on Tuesday and as of yet the causes to the passing are unknown. The member of the Time Bandit fishing crew was found in a motel room in Alaska. Beer, hard liquor and a minimal amount of marijuana were found with him reported a policeman by the name of Randy Rosencrans.

Police believe a party was held in the room on Monday night - two rooms were registered under Tennison's name and nearby guests complained about the noise. Foul play isn't suspected, Rosencrans said. An autopsy by the state medical examiner's office was scheduled to take place later Wednesday. The 34-year-old Tennison is set to make a posthumous debut in the Discovery Channel series' seventh season, which is scheduled to begin in April, Discovery spokesman Josh Weinberg said.

So a puzzling and sad demise of the Tv fisherman and surely more information surrounding the cause will be revealed in time.

justin bieber new haircut 2011

Last week he may have been pulling everybody's leg about getting balded on Jimmy Kimmel but now he has definitely dropped the bowl cut haircut for a more mature look which has surprised many fans and left them shellshocked. His signature locks which have drawn many a female gaze across the globe have now been chopped.

The teen heartthrob’s new look debuted on Twitter today with this photo (left). But it wasn’t the Biebs that sent out the pic, it was Rascal Flatts band member Jay DeMarcus. Justin is working on a new song with Rascal Flatts called That Should Be Me. Earlier today, Justin tweeted this message to his fans: “Thinking about getting a haircut….hmmmmmm,” but before Bieber could show off the look himself, Jay posted the pic, along with this message to Justin “Ooooops! Sorry Bieber!!!!”

So teen heartthrob Bieber has changed his style for a more mature approach and some will be heartbroken and some will be pleased.

celine dion twins

It appears that newborn twins of Céline Dion and husband, René Angélil, are already excelling at language skills. According to the artist and holder of a grammy, the babies are already speaking French as well as English. The singer was interviewed today on the Oprah Winfrey show about them.

"We mainly speak French to them," Dion tells Oprah Winfrey in an interview airing today (February 21). "And they speak French to us, too. "They wave, they speak French -- they've got it all," joked Céline. Although little Nelson and Eddy aren't really talking yet, they're existance alone is pretty miraculous to Dion and Angélil, who struggled to conceive the babies after five failed attempts at IVF. "When Saturday at 11:11 came, and they showed us the first baby that was crying, we were crying," René recounted. "It was a very emotional moment, and even though we didn't speak to each other, we were both thinking about the time it took."

So it appears that as well as being blessed by having children in a latter stage in life the couple also have 2 pretty intelligent sons on their hands.

amanda knox story

A graphic series of events during a murder in Lifetime's "The Amanda Knox Story" has been edited out after Knox's and Meredith Kercher's family complained about the scene, reports have emerged. The film is centered around the stabbing death of British student Meredith Kercher in the town of Perugia in Italy in November 2007.

The victim’s roommate Amanda Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were convicted in 2009 of sexually assaulting and killing the 21-year-old. A third killer Rudy Guede, an Ivory Coast citizen, was convicted of participating in the slaying in a separate trial. In the cut scene, Meredith (Amanda Fernando Stevens) appeared in a grey bra and jeans as she was pinned down and stabbed by her three alleged killers, including Knox (Hayden Panetierre) and Sollecito (Paolo Romio), London's Telegraph reported.

So controversy has been stoked up on the back of the making of the film and the storyline was apparently too near the knuckle for the family of the victims to stomach.

zahra baker

Elisa Baker was today given a charge of second-degree murder linked to the death of her handicapped 10-year-old stepdaughter, Zahra Clare Baker, whose remains was found scattered across many locations in North Carolina. The indicment revealed that Baker had "a history and pattern of physical, verbal and psychological abuse of the victim," The Charlotte Observer reported.

Also that she had "desecrated the victim's body to hinder detection, investigation and prosecution of the offense." Zahra, who had battled cancer and needed an artificial leg, was reported missing on Oct. 9 by her father, Adam Baker. Authorities believe the girl had been killed more than two weeks earlier. The grand jurors alleged that Elisa Baker "secreted the victim from family and others prior to and after the offense, delaying detection of the offense," the Hickory Daily Record reported.

So a harrowing story being brought to justice with damning evidence of the perpetraitor and more details on her sentencing will surely follow.

amber heard

 It's been reported that 24 year-old Amber Heard has been chalked in on NBC's new Playboy series in a role of a woman called Maureen who is employed at the playboy club as a new hire. Heard has appeared in movies such as Pineapple Express, Zombieland, Friday Night Lights and North Country.

The lead role of Carol-Lynne played by Laura Benati whose best known work so far has been on the series Eli Stone. Benati's character is said to be approaching her last days as a Playboy Bunny on the series and her standing is threatened by some of the newer Girls. Carol-Lynne will be involved with a Chicago Mobster. Naturi Naughton also stars and you might remember her from moderate successes like Lottery Ticket, Fame (2009) and a brief turn on AMC's Mad Men (an inspiration for this new Series) also as a Playboy Bunny.

So a promising role for the up and coming actress who will certainly turn far more heads in this more high profile role.

blake griffin dunk over car

Blake Griffin managed to fly over a cart to execute a two-handed dunk in the slam dunk contest of 2011 and it was also perfect evidence that The Clippers' rising star is merely at the opening of a fantastic ride in the sport. The leap won the contest and a choir was at midcourt lending their belief to him that he could soar.

Griffin easily cleared the hood of the 2011 Kia Optima and caught a pass from teammate Baron Davis out of the sunroof while the berobed Crenshaw Select Choir sang "I Believe I Can Fly," winning the 26th NBA dunk contest in iconic style before his hometown fans. "There's a little pressure on us to really put on a show, but I thought those guys all did a great job," said Griffin, who beat Washington's Javale McGee in the final.

So a fantastic leap of faith from the up and coming basketball star and one that won't be forgotten by many for a long time to come.

loch ness monster

There is a monster on Lake Windermere in England by myth to be called "Bownessie" and it's been reported that the beast might have finally been caught on camera (pictured left). Of course the image is a bit fuzzy but was taken by a young couple whilst kayaking on the lake according to the UK's Daily Mail newspaper.

Tom Pickles, 24, and Sarah Harrington, 23, snapped the shot with a cell phone and were interviewed about the incident: "I thought it was a dog" said Tom. "Then I realised it was much bigger and moving really quickly. Each hump was moving in a rippling motion and it was swimming fast. I could tell it was much bigger underneath from the huge shadow around it. Its skin was like a seal's but its shape was abnormal - it's not like any animal I've ever seen before."

Experts opinion on the image say it's genuine but the file is too small to know whether it's been tampered with but it may not even be a monster.

poughkeepsie shooting

A shooting has occured on Friday in Poughkeepsie where a NY police officer, a man and a woman, reported to be husband and wife, have all been killed in a rapid turn of events that seemed to be centered around an argument over a child. The child is reported as being fine amidst the fracar.

It began at around 1 p.m. Friday when police received a call about a woman shot, and arrived on the scene to find a woman wounded in a car and a man walking away holding a small child, police said. "When [a police officer] tried to confront the suspect, he tried to run from him," Poughkeepsie Police Chief Ronald Knapp said. The officer was able to overtake the suspect and confront him a second time, and he somehow got the 3-year-old child out of the man's arms and gave the toddler to a bystander as other police arrived.

So a shocking turn of events emerging from the area of poughkeepsie sees 3 people murdered and more details about the event to no doubt be revealed.

migraine aura

Serene Branson, The reporter for CBS who seriously messed up her lines when reporting at the grammys has been diagnosed with not a stroke but a "migraine aura".

The previous diagnosis from doctors was a "complex migraine" but now according to reports in the LA times, the reporter experienced a migraine aura.

Symptoms for a migraine aura include visual, language and sensory problems. Branson said she suffered from blurred vision and numbness and tingling in her face and hands, two key symptoms of migraine aura according to Dr. Andrew Charles, director of UCLA's headache research and treatment program. The final set of symptoms is what audiences saw: dysphasic language dysfunction. Dr. Charles told the L.A. Times that DLD happens when the victim knows what she wants to say "but can't come up with the words."

So the real reason behind the reporter's bizarre turn has seemingly been revealed and will make more people aware of such an ailment occuring.

ricky lee kalichun

Last month police laid charges against ricky lee kalichun (pictured left) for using a weapon as intimidation alongside public intoxication as it was revealed that he reportedly tried to attack an old roommate with a sword for not returning video games, according to the Evansville Courier and Press.

And that mug shot? He had apparently covered his face with black marker - as a disguise? Kalichun had put on his warpaint for this mission. Inside his former roomie's apartment he started unplugging the appliances and, when they hustled him out into the hall, Kalichup pulled a sword and started swinging for the fences. No one was hurt, luckily. Aside from the tribal designs on his cheeks, I think I make out a sun and what appears to be a desert landscape on his forehead.

So a bizarre case for the police to have to deal with and certainly not one of ricky lee kalichun's best days!

britney spears hold it against me video

Britney Spears released the music video for new song "Hold It Against Me" on Thursday night and it has much appeal for everyone, especially if you're on the lookout for new record buys. In the video Spears dances in a wedding dress, then fist fights herself but the real focal point is her own perfume products, dating site plentyoffish.com and sony electronics.

“You just cannot deny / there’s a spark in between us,” she sings, but the spark feels imposed more by the quick edits and bravura setpieces of director Jonas Akerlund than anything else; her dance moves are scarcely shown, spliced into strobelight-second flashes of small, I’m-trapped-in-an-invisible-box movement. It’s hard not to wonder: Is Britney having any fun?

So certainly a hot topic regarding her new music and whether it will be as much of a smash hit as past releases.

the 5 browns

Father of classical piano group "The 5 Browns" has just pledged guilty to sexually abusing his daughters when they in their childhood and now will have to go to prison for life. The trial was instigated when his daughters who are now 26, 30 and 32 went to the police after finding out their father was going to manage other child musicians.

55-year-old Keith Scott Brown was charged with one count of first-degree felony sodomy upon a child, and two counts of second-degree felony sexual abuse of a child. According to court documents, the abuse lasted sporadically from 1990-1998. Sentencing is scheduled for March -- and he faces anywhere between ten years to life in prison.

So a harrowing tale is hopefully going to find justice when the case reaches it's conclusion in the next month and Keith Scott Brown gets his sentence.

santorum

Rick Santorum is looking to run for the GOP nomination for president and is currently aggrieved with is what is termed as a "google problem". He's made it well known in the media about the problem which is maybe not the best idea but maybe is depending on whether you're also a candidate for president.

What is Santorum's Google problem? Chances are, you know it already -- "Savage Love" columnist Dan Savage started a website that linked the name "Santorum" to a transgressive sexual neologism. I'm in a bind, here, because explaining it or linking to it would only further it. And then I am "part of the problem." But if you Google "Rick Santorum" right now, the second result is a Wikipedia entry that explains it all. (Happily, the first entry is a Wikipedia entry that explains all of the other non-Google problem aspects of Rick Santorum's life.)

So certainly an embarrassing situation for the politician and one that he was dreading would ever happen.

oj simpson beaten

Sources from USA Today say a prison official claims that the National Equirer's report about O.J. Simpson being attacked has been fabricated and is "totally bogus". Steve Suwe is a public information officer for the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada and refutes the claims in an interview with game on!

The National Enquirer reported on Tuesday that O.J. Simpson was attacked in the Nevada prison and beaten unconscious. The 63-year-old has reportedly been a "marked man" in prison "ever since white supremacists overheard him brag about his sexual conquests of beautiful white women." Simpson's former business partner, Bruce Fromong, told the paper: "Unfortunately for O.J., a group of young skinhead punks were within earshot - and they were enraged."

So sources now say that the story broke on Tuesday is now a fabrication and that there is no truth but the truth will be revealed sooner or later.

cbs reporter lara logan

Lara Logan, a correspondent for TV program "60 minutes" was reportedly sexually assaulted several times by thugs shouting "Jew! Jew!" as she was reporting on the mayhemic fall of president Hosni Mubarak in the main square of Cairo on Friday, sources have revealed yesterday.

The TV crew with Logan, who is also the network's chief foreign correspondent, had its cameras rolling moments before she was dragged off -- and caught her on tape looking tense and trying to head away from a crowd of men behind her in Tahrir Square. In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning.

She is currently in hospital recovering from the ordeal sources say and there will be no further correspondance at this time out of respect for her family.

the rock returns 2011

WWE superstar The Rock has decided to come back to the WWE after a decade log hiatus of frequenting the hollywood hills. Last night's episode of WWE Raw declared that the star of "The Scorpion King" and one of the WWEs biggest names during their attitude era is to be the host of Wrestlemania 27 this year.

After the lights dimmed on the show's stage, the crowd went wild as The Rock – real name Dwayne Johnson – walked out and said his signature line, "If you smell what the Rock is cooking!!!" Wearing sunglasses and a shirt reading "I Bring It," Johnson walked across the stage staring out at the audience, before stepping into the ring for the first time in seven years. "Finally, the Rock has come back home!" he yelled. Johnson left professional wrestling in 2004 -- making his last appearance at WrestleMania XX -- for the movies.

So a welcome comeback for one of Vince McMahons proudest names to grace his wrestling corporation.

reporter stroke

Rumors have been surfacing across the internet that CBS reporter Serene Branson might have suffered a stroke whilst reporting for the channel. The truth at the moment is still hazy and it has been reported that the news reporter had been looked over by paramedics.

The full update on Serene reads: "Serene Branson was examined by paramedics on scene immediately after her broadcast. Her vital signs were normal. She was not hospitalized. As a precautionary measure, a colleague gave her a ride home and she says that she is feeling fine this morning." It's unclear when the update was posted or if more will come.

So a shocking mishap for all to see and the mystery behind the stumbling is still to be revealed.

sports illustrated swimsuit 2011

Last night talk show host David Letterman revealed the identity of the Russian model who is the 2011 sports illustrated cover model. Her name is Irina Shayk and it's her fifth entry in the issue but her first time on the front cover. The news came out by accident yesterday when an office worker took a photo of a billboard where Shayk was on.

"There were 10 models there to do the Top 10 List, and nobody knows until the last minute who the cover will be," Shayk (who is dating soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo) said. "And then I saw it, and I couldn't believe it."The Russian model’s cover was briefly revealed earlier today on a large billboard in New York’s Times Square for a segment to air later tonight on “Late Show with David Letterman.”In addition to her work on the catwalk and in the pages of fashion magazines, Shayk is also known for dating soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

So certainly a treat for the eyes on this years sports illustrated cover and the knowledge of the cover appeared to be a mishap of information.

christina aguilera falls at grammys

It hasn't been a week to remember for famous dirrrty and burlesque pop star Christina Aguilera. After her fluff when performing the national anthem at the super bowl last week, last night she was performing in a tribute to R&B icon Aretha Franklin with four other perfomers on the stage.

She executed the song "Ain't No Way" without any hiccups, but when she was leaving the stage, she fell down -- literally. It's shot from afar and a bit blurry, but it's there, very obviously. Squint and then squirm. At least her performance was impressive. "That was a real sexy ending," Aguilera later said. Aguilera, 30, earned rapturous applause and a standing ovation for her searing, soulful take on "Natural Woman" and other Aretha Franklin classics during an all-star tribute to the recovering Queen of Soul.

So another slip up from the accident prone pop star and certainly a week to forget for the singer!

serene branson

Reporter for CBS Los Angeles Serene Branson has been taken to hospital last night for tests after stumbling incomprehensibly over her speech on a Grammy's broadcast on the channel. On being introduced by the studio, Branson began "Well a very, very...", before mispronouncing "heavily". On trying to pronounce it again he was unable to say it then continued with unintelligible sounds.

It is feared that she may have suffered a stroke on air. Strokes can cause speech problems in different ways, either by interfering with the brain's ability to recognise and construct words, or by preventing the facial muscles from forming syllables correctly. About a third of stroke sufferers develop problems with communicating, although it is often posssible to reverse some of the damage.

So a sad mishap from the reporter and hopefully it is nothing serious that becomes of tests that are performed.

grammy winners

The Grammys night was somewhat owned by the all-American country pop act Lady Antebellum(pictured left) but the biggest surprise emerged from north of the border. Arcade Fire grabbed the Grammy for Best Album of the year for their third full length "The Suburbs", sweeping aside the records from Lady Antebellum, Eminem, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in the process.

To say this was unexpected would be an understatement. Earlier in the evening, Arcade Fire dropped the Best Alternative Album Grammy to the Black Keys’ “Brothers.” This sets up an interesting theoretical question for Grammyologists: how could “The Suburbs” be designated the best album overall when it isn’t even the best album in its genre? The band doesn’t have the mainstream recognition of Eminem or Lady Gaga, but ever since “Funeral” their 2004 debut, Arcade Fire has been one of the most lauded groups in rock.

So a great night for Lady Antebellum, Arcade Fire and all the participants in the music awards ceremony.

did justin bieber cut his hair

Hordes of Justin Bieber fans today are fretting over the pop star allegedly balding himself on the Jimmy Kimmel live show. Biebers hairstyle is almost as iconic as he is and the sketch on Jimmy Kimmel would have been a nightmare scenario for hordes of teen girls who idolise the star.

The tween icon has been everywhere to promote "Never Say Never" lately. He has taken part in a lot of stunts along the way as he impersonated Jon Stewart on "The Daily Show" and even won over the Church Lady on "Saturday Night Live" But the bald sketch on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" took the cake late Thursday night. When they returned from a commercial break, Kimmel appeared to be done shaving off his guest's famed hair. Yet while some fans who stayed up late might have panicked, others likely realized it was a gag.

So a pretty hilarious joke, IF YOU KNEW IT WAS ONE! and there was probably many pre teen hearts in mouths when it was a story that emerged.

grammys

The Grammys are just hours away and already people will have burning questions regarding the event. Who will win best album of the year? What will lady gaga wear? Can it be eaten, set on fire or both? We will find out these things on tonight's show which is broadcast at 8pm ET on CBS.

Rapper Eminem is the leading nominee for the 2011 Grammys with ten nods. His latest album is called “Recovery,” and since award-show voters love a comeback story, he’s good bet to come away with some prizes tonight. Still, Eminem will face a stiff challenge from Lady Gaga’s “The Fame Monster,” and many critics are pulling for the rock band Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs.” The best new artist category will be hotly-contested with Justin Bieber, rapper Drake, indie darlings Florence & the Machine, the British folk band Mumford & Sons and jazz comer Esperanza Spalding all vying for the award.

So a very interesting night for award ceremonies and who is to receive the prizes is to be seen.

born this way lady gaga

Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" is out on the street today and after a big hype, the grammy winner has released the first song from her new album and the song plays out as an anthem for the disaffected, discriminated, downtrodden and for those who just want to boogie.

Boasting infectious beats and less abstract lyrics, Gaga and others -- including Elton John -- predict this may become a legendary anthem. Many are saying that it sounds, and expresses similar sentiment, to Madonna's hit "Express Yourself." “It doesn’t matter if you love him or capital H-I-M because you were born this way, baby,”Gaga sings at the beginning of the new song. Lady Gaga was originally planning on premiering the track at the Grammys on Sunday, but she decided to release it two days early for his Little Monsters.

So fans of the whacky pop star will rejoice at being able to get a glimpse of her new material with this new single.

taylor corley playboy pictures

A student of Mississippi state named Taylor Corley has been able to keep her position on the school's cheerleading team despite making an appearance in adult magazine Playboy. Corley, posed for the photoset under the alias of Taylor Stone prior to joining the school.

The images were published this November and she was identified this week, which led to questions about whether she would be removed from the cheerleading team Mississippi State vice president of student affairs Dr. Bill Kibler released the following statement: "If she had identified herself as an MSU Cheerleader or used any of our marks, then the university might have pursued action. However, she was not identified as an MSU student or a cheerleader. The university did not pursue any action when this came to our attention last fall."

So it appears the student has escaped getting into any hot water and will be hoping there is no comeback from the initially precarious situation.

diet soda stroke

It isn't actal conclsive proof but new research has revealed worries about diet soda, saying that there is a higher risk for strokes and heart attacks among people who consume it everyday as opposed to people who don't drink it at all. Dr Steve Greenberg said these findings should be "a wakeup call to pay attention to diet sodas,".

A simple solution, health experts say, is to drink water instead. Doctors have no chemical or biological explanation for why diet soda may be risky. It could be that people who drink lots of it also fail to exercise, weigh more, drink more alcohol or have other risk factors like high blood pressure and smoking. However, the researchers took these and many other factors into account and didn't see a change in the trend. "It's reasonable to have doubts, because we don't have a clear mechanism. This needs to be viewed as a preliminary study," said lead researcher Hannah Gardener of the University of Miami.

So a somewhat shocking finding which will make many think twice about buying a diet pepsi and make them want to buy mineral water instead!

lindsay lohan

As presumed, unfortunate star Lindsay Lohan has been formally charged with a felony count of grand theft after reportedly bogarting a necklace from a jewelry store. She's since refuted the claims and refuses responsibility for the occurence which in turn meant she was going to court with a plea of not guilty today.

The judge set bail at $20,000, which Lohan came prepared for and will likely post soon to secure her release. She's been around the block a time or two. If convicted in the Venice, Calif., banditry, she could face three years in prison. Her history of thievery and other nonsense was a big reason charges were filed. Lindsay Lohan has been remanded into custody after the judge gave her a stern admonishment, telling the train wreck "please don't push your luck."

So troubled times for the star of films such as Mean Girls and Freaky Friday and she will be hoping for the best when it comes to a verdict.

mark sanchez 17 year old

Mark Sanchez, quarterback for the New York Jets is being castigated by sections of the media for reportedly getting it on with a 17 year old high school girl called Eliza Kruger (pictured left), and very much considered a minor. the 24 year old has however stated that she lied about her age which is why it happened.

So if he didn’t know she was underage. And even though she was 17, is that even a crime? Not in New York or New Jersey. But it’s the idea of a grown man, a famous grown man, is dating a girl in high school that gives people pause. But should Mark Sanchez be publicly skewered for his alleged entanglement with this high schooler? Especially if he didn’t know. The two reportedly met at a Manhattan nightclub, which probably had an age requirement to get in, so he probably assumed she was older right off the bat.

So a somewhat precarious situation for the football star who will hope there is no harmful ramifications for the situation.

ashlee simpson

After a marriage lasting 2 and a half years pop star Ashlee Simpson and Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz have filed for divorce. They have reportedly filed documents in the LA superior court citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind their parting.

The singer-actress, who has a 2-year-old son, Bronx, with Wentz, is seeking primary physical custody of the child in addition to sharing legal custody with her ex. The pair released a statement saying: "After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to file for divorce," the couple said through a spokesperson. "We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our No. 1 priority. We ask that everyone honor our privacy as we navigate this next phase of our lives."

So another celebrity coupel split up and whether there are other reasons behind the parting they are yet to be revealed.

prince kim kardashian

Kim Kardashian froze in fear when Prince beckoned her to join him onstage on his Madison Square Garden concert on Monday night, then swiftly told her to leave when she didn't shake her booty to the music. The legendary pop star had been pulling audience members onstage all night and declared that Kardashian was "too sexy" before she sauntered onstage.

But when she finally came up, all she did was smile and clap her hands while he danced around her. Then he yelled, "Get off the stage," practically flinging her back down the stairs. But apparently he brought her back to redeem herself later that night while he played piano. Once upon a time there was a half-Armenian, booty-licious reality star who dreamed of meeting a famous prince. Then one day, her dream came true. "About to start getting ready for the Prince concert!!!! I am soooo excited!!!!!!" she told a little social-networking bird.

So a somewhat amusing turn of events at the Prince concert for the socialite and not the reaction she was looking for from the pop icon.

j. paul getty iii

J. Paul Getty III has died today at the age of 54. He is the grandson of oil tycoon Jean Paul Getty and his son is an actor that has performed in many films including the project greenlight film feast alongside Clu Gulager. He earned the nickname the "golden hippy" due to his bohemian lifestyle, left wing views and long hair.

He reached the pop culture conscious when he was kidnapped in 1973 while in Rome. Many people believed it was a plot by Paul to get money from his grandfather. His grandfather refused the ransom demands until an ear showed up, the kidnappers claiming it belonged to J. Paul Getty III. Getty’s grandfather finally negotiated the ransom and paid $2.9 million. J. Paul Getty III was found and many of the kidnappers were arrested, although much of the ransom money was lost.

So the well known actor and name has passed away and has left behind a name that will be well renowned for some time to come.

Valentines day 2011

So Valentine's day is imminent and we've all been considering what to get our loved ones. It's almost a no brainer what men choose to buy for their lover, usually flowers, chocolate and maybe a balloon or stuffed toy. Getting a gift for a man is a lot more mentally trying.

Some ideas for the man in your life could be: 5lb Gummy bears; which will make him want to relive his youth with candy alongside candy such as chocolate covered fortune cookie, with your own personalized message; chocolate covered strawberries(pictured left),gift baskets full of different sorts of candy treats; if he's a football fan you could get him a a special NFL or soccer team dispenser with his favourite team on. If he's not really a candy/chocolate fan you could buy him a set of whiskey stones which cool down a whiskey without watering it down which ice cubes do.

So certainly plenty more ideas that could be taken from these few and hopefully you can find something really fitting for your man this valentines.

superbowl commercials

This year's series of Super Bowl commercials saw a glut of somewhat violent displays inculding Roseanne getting knocked over by a log for snickers and grizzly bears smashing a car up for McDonald's. Cars.com poisoned a guy, body-scrambled another and shot a cowboy full of arrows.

Pepsi had two separate commercials that ended with the same punchline: Someone being hit in the face by a full can of Pepsi Max. (A possible tagline could be, “Pepsi Max: Tasty and Concussive!”) Also, House threw his cane at an adorable child, a pug dog smashed through a door for Doritos, and that terrifying green android apparently stole someone’s thumbs. Companies have to worry about people not paying attention or flipping over to the Puppy Bowl, and the fastest way to get people’s attention is (apparently) to throw a can of Pepsi in someone’s face.

So it appears companies this year are being far more aggressive LITERALLY, with their mode of commercial and it certainly would have grabbed peoples attention.

darth vader commercial

He's never watched the sci fi epic "Star Wars", but Max Page (pictured left) has found fame as a mini version of the legendary scree villain, Darth Vader. The 6 year old landed a star role in one of the super bowl's most popular TV adverts which was or the 2012 Volkswagen Pasat.

In the commercial he tries, without success, to use "The Force" to affect an array of household items - and even the family dog. Page, who has appeared in a few regional commercials and has a role on "The Young and the Restless," didn't know when he snagged the part that it would be for the Super Bowl. "It wasn't until halfway through the first day of filming" that we found out, his mother, Jennifer, said on NBC's "Today" show on Monday. "We were just thrilled. We thought it was his first national commercial."

So a dream fame ticket for the youngster and will surely go onto bigger and better things in the acting realm on the back of it.

joan rivers go daddy

You're probably aware now of the GoDaddy.co tv advert from yesterday during the super bowl which presents famous comedienne Joan Rivers as the .co girl. Of course that digital magic that gave her that body, however many people were misled by the body shots Go Daddy presented before the commercial aired.

So who does that body belong to? It’s Tabitha Taylor, who starred in 2009′s most watched Super Bowl commercial (according to Tivo). In the “Enhancement” commercial she wears the green dress. At the end of the commercial she starts to show off her “enhancement” before the commercial urges viewers to see more at GoDaddy.com. The Enhancement ad also has cameos from Go Daddy founder Bob Parsons (who sat to the right of the panel) as well as Christine Jones, Executive Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary (who sat next to Danica Patrick).

So an amusing alteration to the famous comedienne and the transformation was so lifelike people were actually questioning whether it was real or not.
