Final 4: American Idol Results Predict and win chance to meet Favourite Idol
I thought this year, Skylar was set to be that Nashville Nobody, but it seems America grew tired of her amateurish twang after awhile and she bit the dust because of it.
All I can say is, America got it right. Of the remaining contestants (In the non-Phillip Phillips Division, but he’s in his own class of beloved) she was clearly the weakest singer. Close your eyes (Yes, I know this isn’t the ‘Voice’) and tell me she comes even close to Joshua, Jessica or Hollie. There’s no contest and it’s good to know that this show is back to being competitive rather than just genre voting.
Of course, this may also be because one Mr. Phillips has sort of absorbed the country bloc with his Southern Rock swagger, but I tend to believe quality is going to outweigh popularity.
Well, maybe not…
There's been a major shake-up in our American Idol Power Rankings, considering - ouch! - our number-seed from a week ago has been eliminated. Fare thee well, Skylar Laine.
Who will take over the top spot? Which of the final four do you think will will the title? Read on. Find out. Vote.
1. Joshua Ledet... not after the week Ledet enjoyed. Both of his covers on Wednesday were stellar, highlighted by "Ain't Too Proud to Beg." Is he theatrical? Yes. Overly dramatic sometimes? Sure. But we're big fans of Adam Lambert, so we can't exactly complain about those traits. What a voice!
2. Jessica Sanchez. A beautiful rendition of "You Are So Beautiful" on Wednesday, continuing her trend of the Ballad Master. We could easily see her win and would stand up and cheer if so, but...
3. Hollie Cavanaugh. Not too different of a critique than we have for Phillip, really. A great voice, but not a great deal of stage presence. We can't think of one performance that really stands out and expected her to be voted off this week.
4. Phillip Phillips. We've just been here too many times. He's white. He's handsome. He plays the guitar. Very well, mind you. But we know exactly what to expect on a weekly basis and it's no longer unique or exciting.
All the power rankings lists tracked for this series -- from Andrew Payne at Starpulse, Tracy Fusaro at Wetpaint, and Annie Barrett at Entertainment Weekly -- see Cavanagh as the one headed home after the Top 5 performance show. Two of those same power rankings see a possible finale with Skylar Laine and Phillip Phillips (Barrett even sees Laine as currently holding the No. 1 position). The holdout? Payne at Starpulse sees a possible finale between Joshua Ledet and Phillips.

Best way to Manipulate Metabolism and Loss Weigh Naturally
If you’re interested in losing weight quickly, easily, naturally and permanently, then read on to discover why the Mental Weight is the perfect solution for you.
The Mental Weight is a revolutionary weight loss program that attacks fat in a scientifically-proven manner. This program is comprised of completely original, unique ideas and techniques, and differs significantly from any other diet/weight loss plan that’s currently on the market. The Mental Weight is a brand new way of burning fat; this is not an exercise program, this is not a fitness regime and this is not a diet. The Mental Weight is the future of weight loss; it is the simple way to cut calories!
Your blood sugar level is a measurement of the amount of glucose that is stored in the body. Glucose is directly correlated to weight as it is both the body and the brain’s primary source of energy. Blood sugar levels are another factor that determines hunger in the brain. BSL also informs the brain on how much energy it has at its disposal. Based on that level, the brain will either store fat or burn it. When this balance is not proportionally kept, it leads to weight gain in the body.

Blood sugar levels are another factor that determines hunger in the brain. BSL also informs the brain on how much energy it has at its disposal. Based on that level, the brain will either store fat or burn it. When this balance is not proportionally kept, it leads to weight gain in the body.
Glucose works in the body in the same way that leptin does; the difference being that glucose is found in the insulin hormone. When food enters the body “insulin surges” are created. These surges inform the brain that the glucose coming into its system will be ready to be made into energy. Insulin surges are a major proponent of weight gain. Often times these surges will produce an overabundance of glucose. Too much glucose in the body will lower its BSL; the brain overcompensates resulting in the body feeling overly hungry, yet also tired. This reaction creates a vicious cycle because the brain will crave more foods that are high in sugar, thus introducing even more glucose into the system that will restart the system.
Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in the body. These actions are what allow our bodies to grow and live. Among other things, metabolism controls body weight. It is the speed at which calories are burned in the body; the higher your metabolism, the easier it is for your body to do this. Only recently has it been discovered how to take control of metabolism; it is now possible to augment its levels, regardless of body type. The Mental Weight has incorporated this scientific research into its program.The Mental Weight can teach you how to manipulate, maintain and master your metabolism. There are several ways to accomplish this, but this system is designed to focus on your specific body in determining the most suitable approach.
No two bodies are identical, therefore no two solutions are the same. In order to boost metabolism, an individualistic approach must be taken; which is why the Mental Weight will supply you with a countless array of unique techniques. One of the primary ways for increasing metabolism
is through leptin.
Leptin is a hormone that regulates the body’s metabolism and appetite. As a protein hormone, leptin is responsible for preserving energy, both its intake and expenditure, in the body. It has only been known to scientists for the past seventeen years, it was discovered in 1994, which is why as a proponent for weight loss, its assistance is extremely new and innovative. Produced in the body, leptin works hand-in-hand with insulin, in the brain’s hypothalamus, to regulate blood sugar levels.

Produced in the body, leptin works hand-in-hand with insulin, in the brain’s hypothalamus, to regulate blood sugar levels.
In fact, leptin has been scientifically proven to be the authority for controlling glucose in the body. Glucose determines the body’s weight, therefore leptin is produced to create a counterbalance. Specifically, when leptin is properly balanced in the body, it can suppress appetite, and thus weight gain. There are various methods for stimulating its production, and the Mental Weight will teach you how to balance leptin in order to reduce weight gain.
Leptin is also responsible for another huge weight loss development; physicality. Scientists have proven that the hormone can arouse the desire to exercise in the brain. Both of these revolutionary weight loss effects are derived from leptin triggers in the hypothalamus – once you learn how to harness the hormone’s potential, cutting calories will become easier than ever!
One of the reasons why the current weight loss methods can’t help you lose weight has already been explained. It’s because these plans cater solely to the mesomorphic body type; the body type that is already primed for building muscle and burning fat. This is the type of body that doesn’t need a diet plan to begin with.
Another method, diets, are perhaps the biggest misconception when it comes to losing weight. A major concern with dieting is again that individuals choose diets not according to what is best for their specific bodies, but rather by what is popular at the moment. Diets need to be tailor-made in order to be effective.
The hypothalamus, which is the part of the brain that is responsible for sleep, fatigue, thirst and hunger, is the cornerstone of weight loss. All four of these components directly contribute to weight, which is why they must be regulated in order to sustain physical development. How are they regulated? Through the control of leptin.
The external part of the hypothalamus, called the ventromedial nucleus (VMH), is governed by leptin to control food intake in the body. Moreover, it is leptin that stimulates the nucleus, provoking it to tell the body that it’s hungry and that it needs to replenish its energy supply. Accordingly, leptin works in the hypothalamus to both augment and suppress food intake.
Leptin also activates physicality levels in the hypothalamus as well. Instructions are passed through the brain as the hormone reaches various neurons from within it. The amount of neurons affected alters the responses that the brain receives.

There is only one true way for burning fat in the body, yet that path is specific to each individual. The Mental Weight incorporates scientific data in achieving your specific needs and goals. In order to lose weight you must burn fat, and in order to burn fat you need to take control of your leptin supply in the body. The Mental Weight is your solution. It is a revolutionary weight loss program that attacks fat in an informative manner. This program understands how weight originates in the body, and it has found the root to where fat is created and stored in the body. The results that the Mental Weight has generated alone prove that this program is serious.
The Mental Weight is effortless and educational. It is fitness without fault. It’s simple, easy and natural – and the weight that you lose with the Mental Weight stays off permanently.

Miley Cyrus Celebrates Turning 19 With Hollywood Party
What's a 19-year-old girl to do for their birthday? If you're Miley Cyrus, you party it up at a big Hollywood party with all your celeb pals. Oh yeah, and a unicorn! Huh?
The erstwhile Hannah Montana star rung in her last bday as a teen with a decidedly more adult bash last night at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel.
According to a source, Cyrus' beau Liam Hemsworth, Kelly Osbourne, Victoria Justice, AJ and Aly Michalka, dad Billy Ray, mom Tish and sister Brandi were just some of the partygoers inside the private soiree held inside the Beacher's Madhouse club.
Party-planner Osbourne wasn't lying when she promised us there would be lots of "madness and craziness" at the party. At one point during the night, we spotted a unicorn strolling around outside the event! Of course it wasn't a real magical creature. Just a horse with a horn attached to its head.
"It's intimate, but it's going to be the sickest thing she's ever seen in her life," Osbourne teased yesterday just hours before the big bash. "That was my mission for her, to make her birthday...the best day ever."
And sure enough, Cyrus tweeted today: "Can't thank @MissKellyO for the best partyyyy ever! =]]]] i loveeeee you! Let's just say there was a unicorn in the lobby!"

Lindsay Lohan has lined up a new gig - as a Playboy girl
Lindsay Lohan may soon grace the pages of Playboy, if reports out Monday and Tuesday are on target.
Now, nobody's confirming whether the actress who once said she wouldn't do a scene had changed her mind on the naked-for-my-art front, but she was in fact spotted heading into a Beverly Hills mansion for a photo shoot her mom later said "went well."
If the Playboy deal is real, Lohan should soon have a few more bucks to put toward the court-ordered counseling her lawyer said the actress couldn't afford — like, more than 750,000 bucks but less than a million of 'em, according to TMZ.
Lohan's current rep, Steve Honig, had a "no comment" for the Ministry, after telling E! News he could "neither confirm or deny at this time" what his client was up to. The actress went to a Beverly Hills mansion Monday for what a source told E! was the first day of a two-day, top-secret, non-nude spread for the January issue of the mag.
"The photo shoot went well," mom Dina Lohan said Tuesday to X17 Online, which had pictures of Lilo arriving at the mansion, allegedly with younger sis Ali in tow.
Last week, attorney Shawn Chapman Holley told Judge Stephanie Sautner that Lohan's problems completing probation as ordered stemmed in part from the reality that job opportunities for the actress and model, who supports her family, were primarily overseas. And Angelenos do go to all lengths to shorten their commutes, right?
The men's magazine previously pursued its dream of a nude Lohan in 2009, offering a million bucks and getting a "not considering it at this time" in return, a former spokeswoman told Gossip Cop that September.
Her "Machete" character's topless scenes in 2010 reportedly were the work of a nipple-baring body double.
"I'm not going to do a nude scene," Lohan told "Access Hollywood" in 2005. "Then there's no mystery for my private life." In the years that would follow, various of her body parts would be caught flashing and slipping by paparazzi cameras, but while promoting "Herbie: Fully Loaded," she said, "I think there's other things you can do to show people you have talent."
Sylvester Stallone Sued for for Copyright Infringement over 'The Expendables' Script
Marcus Webb filed his lawsuit in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, October 25, reports Reuters. The suit states that Webb wrote a screenplay called "The Cordoba Caper." The suit also claims "The Expendables" is similar and "some places identical" to his film.
Webb reportedly registered "The Cordoba Caper" with the U.S. Copyright office in June 2006 and is now suing for unspecified damages for copyright infringement. He is also suing to stop the upcoming sequel by Stallone, Callaham, Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation and other production companies involved with the film, in order to prevent any more infringement on his copyright.
Stallone and other named in the lawsuit have not commented on the report.
"There can be no dispute that Stallone and/or Callaham had access to and copied protectable elements of the screenplay," the lawsuit said. The script was made available by Webb for the movie industry between 2006 and 2009, according to Reuters. Webb also claims he was deprived of potential earnings from the screenplay and film.
"'The Cordoba Caper' tells the story of a team of elite, highly-trained mercenaries hired to defeat General Garza, a rogue army general of a small Latin American country," the lawsuit stated.
"The Expendables is about a group of mercenaries who come for a mission to overthrow a dictator in Latin America. The film featured appearances by action stars like Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li and Jason Statham. The film's sequel "The Expendables 2" is set for release on August 17, 2012.
Stallone recently lent his voice to the Joe the Lion character in the live-action film "The Zookeeper" with Kevin James and has an upcoming movie called "Bullet to the Head" with Christian
Slater due out on April 13, 2012. The actor is also set to launch a fashion line inspired by "Rocky" and "Rambo" in 2012
UPDATE
Reuters reports that Webb shopped his screenplay around to several studios between 2006 and 2009, and that the screenplay was “widely available” to potential buyers in the movie industry.
Do you think Stallone saw Webb’s screenplay?
The lawsuit reads:
“There can be no dispute that Stallone and/or Callaham had access to and copied protectable elements of the screenplay.”
Webb cites several examples where the two scripts are similar in his lawsuit, including the opening scene which involves “a hostage rescue at sea, off a foreign coast, which has nothing to do with the main plot.” The main villain in both movies, according Reuters, is General Garza, “a military dictator with a notorious human rights record.”
“The Expendables,” which was produced by Millennium and Nu Image and distributed by Lions Gate, was released worldwide on August 13, 2010. The movie featured an all-star action cast, including Jet Li, Jason Statham, and Dolph Lundgren, as well as a cameo from Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Webb says that he is owed earnings from “The Expendables,” which made $274.5 million worldwide.
Do you think Stallone stole the plot for “The Expendables” from Marcus Webb?

Willow Smith's out to prove she's no one-hit wonder and Nicki Minaj for her latest single!
Willow Smith and Nicki Minaj Light a 'Fireball'
Willow Smith's out to prove she's no one-hit wonder and has enlisted the help of Nicki Minaj for her latest single!The single, dubbed Fireball, is a drum-heavy party track that showcases the 10-year-old's lyrical talent alongside one of the hottest female rappers right now. Whether she writes her own stuff or not is to be debated (ghostwriter Minaj?), with lines like "Since I landed here, I gon’ phone up Obama... Shook the world up, now I caused a little drama," coupled with the fact that she is Will Smith's daughter, anything's possible. As always, Minaj does her thing with her lyrics in what could be considered a big sister-little sister type of pairing. Good to see the women support each other!
Fireball is featured on Willow's upcoming debut album, which will be released under Jay Z's Roc Nation imprint. Check out the hot track!
Rapper artist Nicki Minaj uses her body and beauty onstage
Rapper Nicki Minaj was transformed into into an 18th-century courtesan for W’s sixth annual Art Issue, Photographer/artist Francesco Vezzoli, whose work consistently taps into fashion and celebrity culture, refashioned Minaj into the Marquise de Montespan and some of her contemporaries. And of course, Minaj is clad in all manner of elaborate contemporary designer haute couture, (Vera Wang and Dior) with David Yurman jewelry.
Vezzoli has produced a trailer for a mock remake of Caligula, appropriately cast with Courtney Love, made a fake-fragrance commercial starring Natalie Portman and Michelle Williams. He transformed Eva Mendes into Bernini’s painting "The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa" for the 2011 Venice Biennale and, for MOCA’s 2009 30th-anniversary gala, he reimagined Lady Gaga as a latter-day Ballets Russes dancer.
Vezzoli, explains his Minja concept:
"In her performances, Minaj makes very explicit and challenging use of her beauty and her body, so I thought of comparing her to some of the most famous courtesans in history: the Marquise de Montespan, Comtesse du Barry, Madame de Pompadour, and Madame Rimsky-Korsakov. My idea was to reproduce four iconic portraits of some of the most fascinating females of the past in a series starring an American pop-culture role model. We tried to re-create those original portraits using similar furniture, props, and clothing, Ã la Visconti. Luckily enough, the result came out as surreal as it could be, just as I wished."
Just to set the record straight, according to History Undressed, courtesans were actually glorified prostitutes, far more educated and refined than street walkers or call girls, but nevertheless paid sexual partners and escorts for the royal, noble and wealthy men of society.
The salons of famous well-educated courtesans were hot spots, always attended by renowned artists, poets, members of local authority and foreign noblemen. Many salons would regularly feature conversations about literature, poetry and arts as well as fine wines and foods. Visitors of such salons left mentions of courtesans in their literature works. And courtesans' portraits were also painted by famous artists that these that inspired W's photo spread.

Brad Pitt thinks his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was fake!
Brad Pitt Delivers Jennifer Aniston A Final Blow
Brad Pitt thinks his marriage to Jennifer Aniston was fake, it was “something that it wasn’t”.
The ‘Money ball’ actor – who was married to former ‘Friends’ star Jennifer from 2000 to 2005 – thinks his life before his relationship with Angelina Jolie started to feel “pathetic” because he spent a lot of time smoking marijuana and “hiding”.
He said: “I spent the ’90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started feeling pathetic. It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Jennifer Aniston] had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”
[editors note: another confirmation that he smokes pot]
Did Jennifer smoke pot with you, Brad?
There’s more! He’s living a much happier life with Angelina and their six children – Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
He said: “One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh man, I’m so happy to have her.”
Ouch… that’s gonna leave a mark.
Steve Jobs deserved his wealth ! Wall Street movement inconsistent?
They protest corporate greed and income inequality. They've highlighted so often how the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans have so much political influence that their rallying cry, written on signboards, has become "We are the 99%."
But just as the 99% Wall Street protesters – or Occupy Wall Street movement – was gaining momentum and attention across the United States, some of its participants took time out to mourn the passing of one of the wealthiest corporate icons of them all: Steve Jobs, worth an estimated $7 billion, former CEO of Apple, the world's No. 2 most valuable corporation.
“Sad to announce the death of Steve Jobs,” a Twitter account called @OPWallStreet tweeted Wednesday night, not long after Mr. Jobs's death was announced. "Much of Occupy Wall Street and the tech community respect you & will miss you.”
IN PICTURES: Remembering Steve Jobs
“#OccupyWallStreet. RIP to a creative genius who helped make ALL these movements possible,” tweeted @alphaleah.
So what gives? Do Jobs and Apple not count as part of America's corporate elite?
“Steve Jobs and Apple are complicated," says R. Luke Dubois, a professor of integrated digital media at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University in New York. "On one side, people are railing against corporate greed, and they’re doing it on iPads from a company that trades at $400 per share.... But the politics of Steve Jobs has always been to give the customer more tools to do what they want: to edit their own movies, make their own projects. And people in the developer community can write their own applications for the iPhone.”
Indeed, the quick spread and loose organizational structure of the “Occupy” movement (in more than 500 cities worldwide and counting) wouldn’t be possible without the products that Jobs made an integral part of everyday life.
“Apple’s technology in terms of being open and sharable was very well-timed in terms of social media, like Facebook and Twitter,” says Karen Sobel-Logeski, a professor of technology and society at Stonybrook University in Stonybrook, N.Y.
“Apple revolutionized the idea that your computing practice is constantly networked,” Dr. DuBois says. “If you have a smartphone, you can communicate with a lot more people with more ease, and that idea that the computer is this thing you can carry around with you in your everyday life is really core to that movement.... Apple has been super successful with allowing people to do that."
Some detractors of the movement highlighted the irony.
“LOL at "Occupy Wall Street" protesters who tweet 'RIP Steve Jobs' from their smartphones,” tweeted @Kasloco, echoing the sentiments of many.
Some supporters complained that Jobs's passing was stealing attention away from their own protests.
But, by and large, people didn’t see full-hearted support of Occupy Wall Street and the mourning of the billionaire head of a giant corporation as mutually exclusive, perhaps because of his public image.
“Jobs was such a beloved person in comparison with someone like Bill Gates because his passion for people, and having fun, and making lives better always came through in his products and message. That’s rare among billionaires, says Dr. Sobel-Logeski.
“His personal narrative suggests he would be very sympathetic to this sort of thing: college dropout, really influnced by '60s counterculture,” adds DuBois “Also, the Occupy Wall Street generation are young enough that they haven’t really been without him. He’s this weird, omnipresent, benevolent figure. It’s like losing the pope or something.”

But just as the 99% Wall Street protesters – or Occupy Wall Street movement – was gaining momentum and attention across the United States, some of its participants took time out to mourn the passing of one of the wealthiest corporate icons of them all: Steve Jobs, worth an estimated $7 billion, former CEO of Apple, the world's No. 2 most valuable corporation.
“Sad to announce the death of Steve Jobs,” a Twitter account called @OPWallStreet tweeted Wednesday night, not long after Mr. Jobs's death was announced. "Much of Occupy Wall Street and the tech community respect you & will miss you.”

“#OccupyWallStreet. RIP to a creative genius who helped make ALL these movements possible,” tweeted @alphaleah.
So what gives? Do Jobs and Apple not count as part of America's corporate elite?
“Steve Jobs and Apple are complicated," says R. Luke Dubois, a professor of integrated digital media at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University in New York. "On one side, people are railing against corporate greed, and they’re doing it on iPads from a company that trades at $400 per share.... But the politics of Steve Jobs has always been to give the customer more tools to do what they want: to edit their own movies, make their own projects. And people in the developer community can write their own applications for the iPhone.”
Indeed, the quick spread and loose organizational structure of the “Occupy” movement (in more than 500 cities worldwide and counting) wouldn’t be possible without the products that Jobs made an integral part of everyday life.
“Apple’s technology in terms of being open and sharable was very well-timed in terms of social media, like Facebook and Twitter,” says Karen Sobel-Logeski, a professor of technology and society at Stonybrook University in Stonybrook, N.Y.
“Apple revolutionized the idea that your computing practice is constantly networked,” Dr. DuBois says. “If you have a smartphone, you can communicate with a lot more people with more ease, and that idea that the computer is this thing you can carry around with you in your everyday life is really core to that movement.... Apple has been super successful with allowing people to do that."
Some detractors of the movement highlighted the irony.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher splitting up?
Is this woman causing trouble in Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s marriage? Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher Address Alleged Marriage Trouble on Twitter. Ashton Kutcher: 'Don't believe the hype' over Demi Moore split rumors.Woman Who Allegedly Slept With Ashton Kutcher Shopping Story As Star Holes Up In Home With Demi Moore.
Rumors about the demise of the six-year marriage between Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were swirling Wednesday on the Internet, courtesy of a tabloid magazine that alleges they are divorcing and a recent, cryptic tweet by Moore that quotes a Greek philosopher.
This particular celebrity-split rumor, which has not been commented on by the stars’ respective reps, stems from a cover story in Star magazine that says the couple have been living apart for months because Kutcher is supposedly a serial cheater. Oh, and also — here comes the cherry on the seedy tabloid sundae — that the “Two and a Half Men” star allegedly had a secret fling with Britney Spears.
Outlets like People magazine are adding to the rumors by noting that the two are currently on different coasts, are tweeting with less frequency and did not celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary together last weekend.
And then there’s that tweet from Moore (Twitter handle: mrskutcher), which was sent Friday and may have, according to People, some deeper meaning: “When we are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself & study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger. -Epictetus.”
No one has noted that the “G.I. Jane” star also tweeted a quote from basketball coaching legend John Wooden just a few days earlier. That tweet said: “Never mistake activity for achievement.” And I think we all know what that means — probably that Moore liked the quote and decided to share it.
This is not the first time the state of the couple’s marriage has been the subject of speculation. During a trip to Israel last October, there were reports that Moore, 48, and Kutcher, 33,were trying to work on their relationship because of infidelity issues. Again, the reports were never confirmed.
This entire episode is reminiscent of the recent rumors that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith were splitting up, which by all appearances seem to be false. We’ll have to wait and see whether Kutcher and Moore borrow from the Pinkett-Smith playbook and issue a statement letting us all know that their marriage remains intact.
