カリフォルニアの男性はガンズアンドローゼズの期待の新アルバム、「チャイニーズ・デモクラシー」を不法に配布したかどで「法的ジャングルへようこそ」となった。 スキワールというニックネームを持つケビン・コギル、27歳のブロガーは自宅でアルバムのトラックをアップロードし、8月に逮捕された。 彼は無罪を主張した。青年はトラックを自分のサイトに載せたことは認めたが、どうやってコピーを入手したかについては口を閉ざしている。逮捕後、バンドのリードシンガーのアクセルローズはコピーが何処、また誰から渡されたのか知りたいと述べた。ゴギルは不法活動が有罪となれば、連邦刑務所に5年間入所する。しかし彼が有罪になる前に、検察はこの青年が利益のために不法活動を行ったことを証明しなくてはならない。裁判日はまだ設定されていない。
追悼・ポール・ニューマンさん
Posted by Danielle on Nov 27, 2008
往年の名優、ポール・ニューマンさん (1925-2008)の生涯を簡単に振り返ってみましょう。 ポール・ニューマンさんは今週、がんの合併症のために自宅でその生涯を終えました。 かれは並み居るセレブの中で誰よりも尊敬され、多くの人々に理想として憧れられた人物でした。「明日に向かって撃て！」でのロバート・レッドフォードとの競演、「暴力脱獄」での名演、近年では2002年の「ロード・トゥ・パーディション」でのトム・ハンクスとの共演など、多くの映画で観客を魅了し続けてきました。 子供たちにとっては、ディズニー＆ピクサーの映画「カーズ」に登場するドック・ハドソンの声として親しまれています。
女優ジョアン・ウッドワードさんと結婚してからは理想の夫婦像として讃えられ、離婚や浮気の多い芸能界という世界では非常に珍しいことに50年もの長い年月を連れ添いました。 また、素晴らしい慈善家でもあり、「ニューマンズ・オウン」という食品会社を設立し、その利益の全てを寄付していました。 彼の死は多くの人々に大きな悲しみをもたらすでしょう。

A California man was “welcomed to the legal jungle” when he was charged with illegally disseminating tracks of Guns N’ Roses’ much anticipated album “Chinese Democracy”. Kevin Cogill, a 27-year-old blogger with the nickname Skwerl, uploaded tracks from the album on his home in June, and was arrested in Aug. 27. He pleaded not guilty. The juvenile admitted to putting the tracks in his site but would not disclose how he got the copy. After the arrest, Axl Rose, lead singer of the band, wanted to know more on where and whom the original source came from. Cogill will face five years in a federal state penitentiary if found guilty of the illegal activity. But before he can be convicted, the prosecutors must prove without reasonable doubt that the boy did this for profit. Trial date is yet to be set.
Remembering Paul Newman
Posted by editor on Sep 29, 2008
Let us take a moment to remember Paul Newman (1925-2008), one of the older generation’s certified major star. Just this week, he died at home due to complications arising from cancer. He was one of the most respected and admired celebrity, appearing in films like Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid,with Robert Redford, Cool Hand Luke & most recently, the 2002 film Road To Perdition with Tom Hanks. For all the kids out there, he was the voice of Doc Hudson from the Disney-Pixar movie Cars.
He and actress Joanne Woodward, is hailed as one of the most stellar examples of marriage, having achieved 50 years together, in a world where marriage is often transitory and fleeting. He was also a genuine philanthropist, founding Newman’s Own, a line of food products that donates all proceeds of the sale to charity. He will be sadly missed.

One year after almost executing her career on the MTV Video Music Awards stage, it’s been incorrigible that Britney Spears will be recurring to the VMAs on Sunday to kick off their 25th anniversary formal procedure. Unfortunately, unlike last year where the singer opened up the show with a disastrous, scantily clad performance of “Gimme More,” MTV has announced that Brit will not be singing this time around.
“MTV has long played an important role in my career,” the pop superstar said after today’s announcement. “How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMA’s? I’m excited to open the whole show, to say hi to my fans and to be listed.”
Brit is scheduled this year for Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video of the Year for her hit song, “Piece of Me.”
Van Toffler, President of MTV Networks had this to say about the choice to have Brit back. “Britney has done the whole thing from perform with a snake, lock lips with Madonna and prove that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always wait in Vegas. I can’t wait to see what she does to kick off this year’s show.”

Nicole Richie torn between motherhood and old lifestyle
Posted by editor on May 24, 2008
Although she keeps on saying that life has been beyond amazing ever since she gave birth to her daughter last January, motherhood and duties make her miss her old party days. She is torn between being a mom and being her old self, the party girl. She wanted to go out but feels guilty knowing that baby Harlow might need her. Her new responsibility seems to overwhelm her and she’s caught up with it. She may adore her daughter so much but it’s an all new responsibility for her considering her lax and carefree lifestyle before that is mostly defined by shopping and partying. She cannot figure out what makes her happier, home with the baby or party galores.
Seacrest to take over Larry King
Posted by editor on May 20, 2008
A source in CNN says that Seacrest might be adding hosting schedules in 2009 since he might take over “Larry King Live” around year’s end. Larry King would be delighted because his first choice for someone to take over him in the show is Seacrest who has filled in for King in the past. King said that Seacrest is a classic generalist and if he becomes well versed in politics and other world affairs, he could be really good for the show. He is really serious about his career where he would want to evolve so hosting Larry King would be great for him.
