STOLEN GUITAR FOUND, BUT PEARL JAM AUTOGRAPHS GONE


BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Police in Vermont say a stolen 1972 Fender Telecaster electric guitar autographed by members of Pearl Jam for a boy with a brain tumor has been recovered — but the signatures are gone.
The Burlington Free Press reports (http://bfpne.ws/rZP9Ev) two men have been jailed on charges of possession of stolen property.
Ben Hardy said his ailing brother Josh received the guitar autographed by members of Pearl Jam in 1991 in Seattle. It was arranged by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Josh died several months later at the family’s home in Durham, N.H.
Bing even more:
The guitar and other items were taken from Hardy’s home between Thanksgiving and Dec. 5 while he was away.
Arrested were 25-year-old Jeffrey Leduc and 51-year-old Timothy Crews, both of Burlington.

Madonna wants ‘people to be knocked off their feet’ over halftime show



INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Madonna won’t explicitly say who she’s rooting for, but her spot-on salsa dance in honor of the New York Giants’ Victor Cruz may have revealed where her allegiance lies.
At a news conference Thursday to promote her halftime Super Bowl performance, she was asked what she thought of the wide receiver’s touchdown celebration dance and if she had any criticisms of his moves.
“I have no criticism. … Actually, he’s inspired me. I’ve been practicing,” said Madonna, who lives in New York, before busting a move in front of the few hundred media members in attendance.
“Do you think he’d approve?” she asked after her brief performance. Madonna also leaned toward the Giants when pressed on which quarterback she’d rather have dinner with, the New England Patriots’ Tom Brady or the Giants’ Eli Manning. While she protested the question was unfair, she allowed, “I’d have to say Eli because he lives in New York and I don’t want him to waste gas. ”
Madonna’s salsa dance was her only performance of the day; she declined to follow the footsteps of other halftime acts who have given a tease of their performance with a mini concert.
Madonna gave few details about Sunday’s show, which is being “imagined” by Cirque du Soleil and may feature white-hot rapper Nicki Minaj, who is featured on Madonna’s new single “Give Me All Your Luvin’.” (She promoted her song by announcing it would be available on iTunes on Friday, and for those who may not have known that her film “W.E.” opens this week, a press kit was placed on seats for reporters).
“I really don’t want to blow the surprises,” said Madonna, who only promised to sing three old songs and one new one. “I want people to be knocked off their feet.’”
The 53-year-old music icon is perhaps the most edgy Super Bowl performer since 2004, the halftime show that will live in infamy, as Justin Timberlake revealed Janet Jackson’s bare breast during a “wardrobe malfunction.” Madonna, who is as defined by sometimes racy antics as her music, once again promised no flesh would be seen during her set, and when asked if she was going to be “pushing the envelope,” she said, “The envelope I am pushing is for a spectacular show which will, I think, entertain all age groups and will be a feast for the eyes and ears.”

Madonna fielded several questions from reporters, some softball, some staid, and a couple bizarre. One person asked if she could confirm that her former companion and rumored boyfriend Alex Rodriguez had a painting in his house featuring himself as a half-man centaur.
“If he does, I haven’t seen it, but I’m pretty sure he has a rather large painting of me,” she said.
Someone else asked Madonna, who admitted that she rarely watches TV, let alone games, about the ankle injury to New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, and whether she’d be able to perform with such an ailment.
“Well, a lot of people would say I’m a bit of a masochist,” said Madonna, who said ibuprofen and tape would have her ready to go.

The superstar said she started rehearsals for the halftime show in December. She also said preparing for her set, which will likely be around 10 minutes, was the most arduous time of her long career, and perhaps made her the most nervous. While Madonna, who has lived in Britain, sometimes affects a British accent, she stressed her Midwestern roots and expressed her love for Indianapolis as well.
“This is a Midwestern girl’s dream to perform at the Super Bowl,” she said. She added that she’d dedicate her performance to her father.
“I was raised in the Midwest, and he is the personification of Midwestern values,” she said. “He gave me the work ethic I have, so if I am a hard-working girl that never stops, it is because of him. I am sure of all of the things I have ever done in my life, this will be the thing he is most excited about.”
Check out a teaser clip for Madonna’s Super Bowl performance:

Avril Lavigne Biography and Photo Gallery 2011


 Avril Ramona Lavigne (pronounced /ˈævrɨl ləˈviːn/; born 27 September 1984) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, fashion designer, actress, and philanthropist. She was born in Belleville, Ontario, but spent the majority of her youth in the small town of Napanee. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a recording contract with Arista, now RCA Records. Record executive Antonio "L.A." Reid offered her a two-album deal worth more than $2 million. When she was 17 years old, Lavigne broke onto the music scene with her debut album, Let Go, released in 2002.
Let Go made Lavigne the youngest female soloist to reach #1 in the UK, and the album was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. As of 2009, over 16 million copies had been sold worldwide, more than 6 million of which were sold in the United States. Her breakthrough single, "Complicated", peaked at #1 in many countries around the world, as did the album Let Go. Her second album, Under My Skin, was released in 2004 and was her first album to peak at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 , eventually selling more than 10 million copies worldwide. The Best Damn Thing, Lavigne’s third album, was released in 2007. This album gave Lavigne her third #1 album in the UK Albums Chart and featured her first U.S. Billboard Hot 100 #1 single, "Girlfriend". Lavigne has scored a total of five #1 singles worldwide, including "Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "I'm With You", "My Happy Ending" and "Girlfriend". With more than 30 million copies of her albums sold worldwide, Lavigne is currently one of the top-selling artists releasing albums in the U.S., with over 10.25 million copies certified by the RIAA.

Lavigne branched out from recording music, pursuing careers in feature film acting and designing clothes and perfumes. She voiced a character in the animated film, Over the Hedge, in 2006. That same year, she made her on-screen feature film debut in Fast Food Nation. In 2008, Lavigne introduced her clothing line, Abbey Dawn, and in 2009, she released her first perfume, Black Star, which was followed by her second perfume, Forbidden Rose, in 2010. Her third fragrance is due out in August 2011. In July 2006, Lavigne married her boyfriend of two years, Deryck Whibley, lead singer and guitarist for Sum 41. The marriage lasted a little over three years, and in October 2009, Lavigne filed for divorce. Whibley and Lavigne have continued to work together after the divorce, with Whibley producing her upcoming fourth album, as well as Lavigne's single, "Alice", written for Tim Burton's film Alice in Wonderland.

The 36-year-old star is currently pregnant with her and her husband David Beckham's fourth child and the couple are sparing no expense for their new arrival, which according to reports is a girl.

Kate Middletons following Dukan diet




Kate Middletons following Dukan diet
Is a 69-year-old doctor the new man in Kate Middleton’s life? Pierre Dukan, dubbed the Dr Atkins of France, is responsible for Europe’s most popular diet book. And it’s reportedly the one that Kate Middleton and her mother Carole are following to drop pounds before the royal wedding.

The book, which will be released in the U.S. in April, outlines a protein-rich, low-fat approach to weight loss. According to The New York Times, there are four phases of the Dukan diet: the first involves a strict menu of non-fatty protein (skinless turkey, chicken breast, low-fat beef, or fish), plus 1.5 tablespoons of oat bran daily and loads of water. In phase two, dieters are introduced to veggies. Phase three, they’re allowed two slices of bread, a serving of cheese and fruit and two servings of carbs a day, with a wine-and-dessert allowance two days a week. In the final phase of the diet, “Dukamaniacs” (as they're dubbed) can eat anything they want, provided they return to phase one’s protein, oat bran, and water regimen one day per week.

According to the Daily Mail, Carole Middleton lost four pounds in four days following the diet. Daughter Kate is rumored to have hopped on the Dukan bandwagon as well, amidst public concerns over her shrinking frame. Kate's given no confirmation of her diet plans to the press. “It’s a hugely private matter,” a royal press aide told the Associated Press.

The Dukan diet is the kind of plan that doesn’t just cater to royalty. A huge hit with carnivores, as well as those who loathe the gym, the diet’s low-impact cardio component only requires 20 minutes of walking.

But some health experts warn of nutritional hazards: “We call it the ‘Do-can’t’ diet,” Sian Porter, a dietitian and spokeswoman for the British Dietetic Association, told the Times. “Even if you can survive it for the first few days, it’s hard to stick with it. It’s hard on your kidneys. And it’s expensive.”

The French health agency ANSES warns that the diet contains too much salt, and not enough vitamin C and fiber—an imbalance that could take a serious physical toll on the body. ‘‘The Dukan diet is associated with an increased risk of cancer and heart disease, even if this has not yet been proved in tests,” says ANSES chief researcher Dr. Jean-Michel Lecerf in Daily Mail. Lecerf also believes that after initial weight loss, dieters are likely to put the weight back on.

Dukan has dismissed those allegations as unscientific and counters that his diet can prevent obesity. But for already skinny women, like Kate and Carole Middleton, the diet may be more cosmetic than health-based. “Of course you lose weight at the beginning,” Elle magazine’s Michèle Fitoussi told the Times of her experience on the diet. “You are so bored eating nothing but sliced turkey and fake crab that you lose the desire to eat.”


Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor dies


 Screen legend Dame Elizabeth Taylor has died at the age of 79.

The iconic double Oscar-winning actress is said to have passed away at her LA home. There is no reason given for her death as yet, but she was being treated for symptoms of heart failure and had a long history of ill health.One of Hollywood's most endearing stars, Taylor is known for both her classic films like 'Cleopatra', 'Cat on A Hot Tin Roof' and 'Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?' as well as her colourful private life, which included her volatile relationship with Richard Burton, one of her seven husbands.

Kate Middleton Comparison with Princess Lady Diana


 What bride-to-be wants to compete with her mother-in-law?

In the case of  Kate Middleton, comparisons with the Princess Diana are inevitable and sometimes completely uncanny.The former Lady Diana Spencer was perceived as a bit frumpy when the 19-year-old kindergarten teacher became engaged to heir to the throne Prince Charles in 1981. Once in the royal spotlight, she emerged as the style icon of her time.

Middleton, who just turned 29, has had more time to hone her independence and casually elegant personal style, which includes her habit of shopping her own closet (rather than designer showrooms) for special occasions.

Yet remarkably, the two women seem to have more in common than their mutual affection for Prince William and a poignantly shared diamond-and-sapphire engagement ring.
