War Of The Worlds

War Of The Worlds - Catherine Jones talks to 80s heart-throb Jason Donovan about his next album and date at the ECHO arena THIS ain’t a dress rehearsal Catherine, this is it mate, so you know what? I’m going to go for it while I’m here.” It appears that Jason Donovan means business. First there’s a new album, Soundtrack of the 80s, which takes the 42-year-old back to those heady days when he was at the centre of Ramsey Street’s finest romance. Then there’s his imminent appearance at the ECHO arena as the Artilleryman in Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds opposite Liverpool’s Liz McClarnon. Then he’ll be returning to the waterfront venue next summer as part of the 80s revival Here and Now tour. And in the midst of it all, he’s set to become a dad again, with wife Angela due to give birth to their third child in March. “They always say the third baby is a little bit easier, and I’m hoping that’s true,” he tells me. “I can’t take it back once it’s out! But I think being a dad

Wesley Snipes Goes To Jail

Wesley Snipes Goes To Jail - Action star Wesley Snipes, most famous for portraying Blade, the "Daywalker" in the Blade trilogy of movies, lost an appeal for a new trial on Friday and was ordered to surrender to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to begin serving a 36-month prison sentence for his 2008 conviction on three misdemeanor counts of willfully failing to file federal tax returns. In his 17-page order, U.S. District Court Judge William Terrell Hodges said, "The Defendant Snipes had a fair trial.... The time has come for the judgment to be enforced." Snipes' attorney, Daniel Meachum, called the judge's verdict "shocking" and said, "Wesley is very disappointed but staying strong and positive." Meachum said his defense team was "determined to exhaust all plausible avenues" in appealing the decision, up to and including taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Wesley Snipes Goes To Jail

Kenken Puzzle

Kenken Puzzle - The grids, the numbers and the computations required to solve KenKen puzzles might send shivers up the spine of non-math afficionados. But its fan base extends far beyond the math geeks among us to those somewhat literary types who are uncertain how fast they can add or subtract let alone multiply or divide under pressure. This includes Pleasantville toy maker and agent Robert Fuhrer, who brought this Japanese craze to America. "I am not a puzzler," said Fuhrer, 55, from his Pleasantville office of Nextoy, a toy business known for Airblade from Mattel and Gator Golf from Hasbro Games. But he, his family and friends and thousands of others do KenKen puzzles. They can't seem to put these KenKen squares down. Which is good for newspapers, such as the Times of London and The New York Times, that print them alongside the venerable crosswords. And good for KenKen book publishers, a website and iPhone app that Fuhrer, who holds the trademark, feeds.

Colt Brennan Girlfriend

Colt Brennan Girlfriend - More than 12 hours after the crash, Colt Brennan is still in serious condition. The former UH quarterback is banged up bad, with broken bones and internal bleeding. Thankfully, his father says the injuries are not life-threatening. New pictures came in Friday night showing the wreckage from the head-on collision in North Kona. At about 9:30 a.m. police say Brennan was the passenger in a Toyota SUV driven by his girlfriend when she crossed the center line on Queen Kaahumanu Highway, in Makalawena. The SUV slammed into a Saab sedan driven by an unidentified Waikoloa woman. The Saab went airborne landing in a lava field off the road. The Waikoloa woman was trapped and needed to be extricated. Brennan's girlfriend got out of the SUV on her own. But Brennan was stuck inside and needed fire crews to get him out. He was later airlifted to Oahu for further care. Earlier in the evening, Brennan's dad had said that his son was in stable co

Erin Barry, Brett Barry, Eva Longoria, Tony Parker. A love Web

Erin Barry, Brett Barry, Eva Longoria, Tony Parker. A love Web - Most of the time when famous dudes get caught cheating, it’s a result of sheer dumb-@ssery. They text dick pics to girls who clearly aren’t interested in seeing their wangs, a la Brett Favre, or they exchange racy messages with every skank in a 1,000 mile radius like Tiger Woods. Years of having gotten away with murder because they know how to put a ball in a hole go to their heads so they do whatever they damn well please without a single thought about the consequences. That’s not the case with Tony Parker. Frenchy went to great lengths to conceal his affair with Erin Barry from his wife, Eva Longoria. Unfortunately for T-Parks, he was married to a 3 foot Latina leprechaun with magical ways of finding out where he’s putting his magic Johnson (Get it? Because he plays basketball!). “Tony had Erin’s personal information saved in an electronic program that only he could access,” a source close to the couple says. “But

On Thursday, House Republicans voted to deny an unemployment benefits extension, unhappy with the method planned to fund it. Ending federal extensions would drain the economy of $80 billion of purchasing power, according to a report by the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee. Every dollar spent on benefits increases the gross domestic product by $1.60, the report said. "Workers receiving unemployment insurance payments are typically cash-strapped and will sp

Darvocet Pain Medication Has Been Recalled

Darvocet Pain Medication Has Been Recalled - Xanodyne Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is cooperating with the FDA in recalling Darvocet and Darvon, their versions of the pain killer propoxyphene. Darvon, which is also sold as Darvocet (with acetaminophen added), could cause serious and potentially fatal heart rhythm abnormalities, according to new clinical data reviewed by the FDA. An outside advisory panel to the FDA recommended last year that Darvon and Darvocet be pulled from the market after concluding that the pain relief benefits of the drugs didn’t outweigh the significant risk of side effects related to overdose and addiction. However, the FDA is not required to follow the advice of the panel, and the two pain killers remained on the market until recent electrocardiography data from a clinical study revealed QT interval abnormalities occurred in healthy people taking normal doses of the drugs. The main active drug in Darvocet and Darvon is propoxyphene, which the FDA has also remove
