Denise Richards

In August 2007, The New York Times reported that Denise Richards (who allegedly wanted a third child very badly) approached ex-husband Charlie Sheen in 2007, after their divorce, and asked him to provide the sperm.

Denise supposedly assured him that she was not looking for any future child care support for this potential baby, but Charlie responded with “I would sooner walk on the surface of the moon in what I’m wearing.”

Regarding Heather Locklear, “The thing with Heather, that’s been hard… you know, you can’t help who you fall for, and that friendship was done with and wasn’t salvageable. You know, she wasn’t my best friend.”

Denise Richards continues,  ”She was a close friend in the last couple of years – I hadn’t known her my whole life like people are portraying. It’s been tough having people think that I’m a crappy friend – because if we were friends, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”

As a mega pop star whose music delights people all over the world, Alicia Keys is now being touted as the new Princess of Pop.

Alicia’s songs have always had a fresh feel about them but her ability to give such mesmerizing sound tracks has established Keys as a highly credible artist.

Alicia Keys is known worldwide as an accomplished actress, songwriter, Grammy winner, and performer. She has tasted scintillating success with her latest album “As I Am”. This project may well be her most personal creation to date.

“As I Am” debuted at number 1 at the Billboard 200, and had a record sale of 742,000 copies within its first week of release. This was the largest sales week for a female artist since the debut of Feels Like Home, Norah Jones’s record-breaking album in 2004.

Alicia Keys also holds the distinction of having the maximum number of number 1 debuts on the Billboard charts by a female pop artist since Britney Spears. Her most popular track was “No One,” which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It won her the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song at the Grammy Awards in 2008.

As a performer, Alicia portrays the best blend of girlish charm and a grown woman’s maturity. The same effect is seen in her musical creations.

Keys impressed fans and critics alike with her mature look and sensible music, making her one of the best-selling R&B singers in the world. “You’ll Never See Me Again” made her a worldwide hit and established her as one of the best-selling artists of all time.

Many experts claim that if there was a woman who could take on the mantle of being a Pop Princess — a title that was earlier donned by Britney Spears — it should hands down be …. Alicia Keys. Source: TrendPimp.com

Mammoth Mountain – Awesome California Skiing

For once the hyperbole actually applies. A summit elevation of 11,053 feet and hefty 3,100-foot vertical drop are just some Mammoth Mountain stats that don’t need any embroidering by Bay Area marketing whiz kids.

South of Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Mountain ski resort is served by 28 lifts numbered in the order they were built, giving a nod to in-the-know locals who are able to think in creative, non-linear ways.

The uninitiated need only to remember that the Panoramic Gondola will take you all the way to the very top, from where you should tack right to the Upper Bowl and a series of plunging drops fanning into a wider bowl. If you make it that far, you’ll have some time to catch your breath and reconsider your recklessness.

Mammoth’s signature siren-of-the-steeps is Hangman’s Hollow, a chute bordered by snarling rocks that leaves room for only one perfect turn—or one mistake. It’s not just the elevator-shaft steepness, too; it’s the mandatory air required to get into it in the first place.

Even the local wackos won’t try Hangman’s unless there’s a foot or more of new snow, guaranteeing a pillowy landing.  Story by: Alistair Wearmouth




$2.7 Million Gold Statue – Kate Moss Loves It

Marc Quinn Kate Moss $2.7M Gold Statue

It seems that model Kate Moss appears to be a more than just a modern day fashion icon. Kate has made her way to goddess status.

Back in August, there was a public preview of a solid gold statue of Kate worth a shocking $2.7 million. The statue weighs quadruple what the rail thin super model weighs herself.

British artist Marc Quinn’s “Siren” will be on display at the Nereid Gallery of the British Museum surrounded by, whom else, but goddesses like Venus the goddess of Love.

Marc Quinn says the supermodel is very thrilled. The Kate Moss look-alike statue is said to be the world’s largest gold statue made since the days of Ancient Egypt. That in itself is amazing.

Since the artistic piece was unveiled at the British Museum in London, it has drawn huge crowds.

“When I showed Kate the statue, she told me she loved it,” Quinn says of the piece, entitled Siren. “She modeled for me for a day or so – but she didn’t pose for me like that.” Noting that Siren is about “trying to live up to impossible dreams or immortality,” something Moss apparently contends with on a daily basis, he says, “For Kate, she thinks it lifts her into a mythic level. I think she very much loved it because she appreciates the difference between her image and herself.”




Crestor Reduces Risk of Stroke and Heart Attacks

AstraZeneca Crestor Pills

Drug maker AstraZeneca’s anti-cholesterol drug – Crestor- has shown to cut heart-attack risk and potentially benefit people with higher levels of inflammation protein.

A large-scale study has recently been completed and the results are extremely promising. On Monday, AstraZeneca announced that Crestor has been shown to reduce heart-attack risk for those people without high cholesterol.

The clinical study was named Jupiter, the results of about 18,000 patients found that Crestor reduced the risk of stroke, heart attacks and other major cardiovascular events for those with low-to-normal cholesterol levels but elevated hsCRP, a protein linked to inflammation of the arteries.

AstraZeneca now plans to file a regulatory submission, including the new data sometime in the 1st half of 2009. If AstraZeneca receives approval, they can then initiate promotional activities for Crestor with the approved labeling.
