According to reports guitarist of rock legends Motley Crue, Nikki Sixx is dating hollywood star, Denise Richards, proving that she's addicted to the bad boy types! From her notorious marriage to Charlie Sheen to her romance with Bon Jovi rocker, Richie Sambora, Denise Richards definitely shows signs of having a definite type of man when it comes to romance.
Celebrity tattoo artist Von D called it quits with Sixx back in January, ending their two-year romance. Sixx alluded to a someone special on his Twitter.com blog on Friday night, revealing he had "a midnight rendezvous planned with a beautiful maiden." And Usmagazine.com reports the mysterious maiden is in fact Richards, after the pair was spotted getting cozy over breakfast at a Calabasas, California restaurant the following morning. The source tells the website, "Nikki was telling stories, and Denise was laughing... They have a lot in common and are taking things slowly."
So a new flame for the Motley Crue star and another rebel type man for Denise Richards. Whether this will be a successful relationship will yet to be seen.
Prominent weather reporter, Heidi Jones, who alleged to police she got out of a potential rape situation has now been accused of it all being a lie she made up. She was arrested at the weekend and has been taken off air by the station she works for, WABC-TV, pending an investigation by police.
According to police, Jones waited a month to report the incident and described her attacker as a stocky, Hispanic man who tackled her from behind. But when authorities canvassed the area and began to ask questions, the story didn't add up. After questioning Jones a second time, police say there were inconsistencies in her story, and when confronted, Jones confessed. Police say Jones fabricated the story after experiencing personal problems. She was charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in prison if she's found guilty. Jones, Nguyen added, is scheduled to appear in court on January 15.
So a bizarre situation arisen around the TV weather reporter and hopefully she will possibly be facing a heavy penalty of a year inprisonment.
To most people the name Kate O' Brien (Pictured far left in the picture) is unknown. This was the case until last night when Amy Adams made an appearance on the Conan O' Brien show to discuss her new role in the movie "The Fighter" and the 2 chatted about Kate O'Brien, Conan's sister and an actress who starred in "The Fighter" alongside Amy Adams.
She makes her acting debut in the upcoming film “The Fighter,” which stars Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Amy Adams. O’Brien plays Phyllis ‘Beaver’ Ecklund – the sister of Wahlberg’s character Mickey. Amy Adams says “she did an amazing job and she loved the experience.” Adams told Conan that to get the real local character, they did the movie with the real people. Conan’s sister said there was a lot of physical fighting that they needed to do in the movie – Amy Adams talks more about having to fake fight and her fear of fake punches.
So possibly Conan O brien's sister's big break into showbiz and she will be hoping she can get a certain amount of fame that her brother boasts having.

Amazon Customer review: "This system has been a blessing for me. I used to print CD's one at a time and it was a real pain. As my business grew I needed more power. I recieved this two days before my daughter was born and set it up to use while I was on PAternity duty. It setup easy and ran very low maintenance. I was running it on a computer that was doing nothing but that, and technically not up to the spec they recommend. Occassionally I have to reboot the machine, but that's the case with any windows machine. I think it approx. 18 months I have likely burned and printed about 6000 CD's. Business is growing again and I recently bought a high speed duplicator. That machine cost me $1100 and will do 11 CD's or 43 seconds for me so my bravo is just used for printing now.
I strongly recommend this. It's not perfect, but nothing with moving parts that is used alot is going to be no maintenance forever. This machine has been a stud for me...."
So a very impressive and efficient manufacturing product of CD and DVD data and images for them and definitely a must buy for people mass producing them.
Tuesday saw reports of the inductees for the 2011 rock n roll hall of fame announced from a shortlist of 15 possible artists. The official announcement wasn;t supposed to be released until today but the associated press revealed that Neil Diamond, Alice Cooper, Tom Waits, Dr. John and Darlene Love will enter the hall and to add to that Leon Russell will be presented with an award for musical excellence.
Artists are only eligible to be nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after they first officially released any recorded music, meaning this year's nominees all broke into the business no later than 1985. As with Diamond and Love, it often takes multiple attempts before finally being granted entry. So, in other words, the Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Donovan, Kiss and all the others who didn't make the cut this year are still in the running down the line. The induction ceremony for the Class of 2011 will take place on March 14 in New York and will be televised on Fuse.
So happy news of the said artists who will want to savour the recognition they've received from the media for their achievements.
In Florida yesterday, a standard school board meeting was in the middle of discussing head lice to it's members when a gunman entered and saw the school board members begging for their lives. The gunman's name is Clay Duke and he interrupted the meeting in the Bay District School,with the gun and apparently his motive was based on the school board firing his wife, which are comments he reportedly mumbled.
In the chilling video captured by a WMBB News 13 camera, the board members try to reason with Duke and try to save one another from the gunman. At another point, Superintendent Bill Husfelt asks Duke to let everyone else go, saying Husfelt was likely the one responsible for firing Duke's wife. Duke turns his gun on Husfelt and fires, but the bullets miss Husfelt.
The video ends there, but a few moments later, a security guard entered the room and exchanged fire with Duke. One shot hit Duke in the leg. The police told the Associated Press that Duke then turned his gun on himself and committed suicide.
So a shocking tale in Florida ends with the perpetrator turning the gun on himself. Thankfully, no one else's life was taken in this traumatic ordeal

Amazon customer review: "I used to spend so much time and energy on my care plans. I tried to make my diagnoses, goals, outcomes, interventions, rationales etc. as accurate and precise as possible and that used to take so much of my time. I find care plans difficult to write because each professor I have had grades them a little differently and has different expectations for our work. With this book, I feel much more confident about my care plans and I am spending only a fraction of the time that I used to. I really wish I had known about this when I was starting nursing school.
The best thing about this book is that there are 63 care plans based on NANDA nursing diagnoses, and then there are another 121 care plans for specific diseases. So whether your patient has a specific disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, or if you would rather focus on their complaint of pain for example, it will help you tailor a care plan to suit them. In the disease care plans, there are multiple nursing diagnoses that you can choose from, and then goals, outcomes, assessments, etc. I found it to be very straightforward and user friendly, and so much better than the online care plan constructor that I used to use."
So a very useful, thorough guide to nursing and essential methods to use. Essential if you are starting out in the field and need to know more.
