“50 Shades of Grey” Author Draws Large Crowd to Book Signing
Posted by wpadmin on May 16, 2012
A Miami book store was the scene of the a near mob crowd of young teachers, middle-aged people, and even the elderly as the launch of the erotic romance “Fifty Shades of Grey” book signing took place.
Earlier in the day, author EL James, drew another crowd of 500 men and women as she spoke to the crowd and signed copies at the historic Biltmore Hotel. It was the author’s second book signing, but the crowd she was drawing likened to that of response for writers like Ann Rice or politicians who released books in the past. (more…)

“Watch What Happens Live” Is Always Hilarious!
Posted by wpadmin on
Tonight’s episode of “Watch What Happens” featured the award winning and talented singer Monica, Tony winner John Benjamin Hickey and guest bartender Christina DeCicco, who is now playing Evita on Broadway.
Monica arrived in top notch style wearing a herringbone button-up top, light brown leather pants and extremely high heels that Adam Cohen complimented to the utmost, while Benjamin looked casual, a bit scruffy and handsome. The three had an exaggerated conversation regarding the difference between herringbone and hound’s tooth after Cohen complimented Monica’s blouse as hound’s tooth and Hickey corrected him quickly and pointed out that it was actually herringbone.
Another topic of interest is Bethenny from Bethenny Ever After. Cohen mentions the playful kiss between Bethenny and Stacy on the show and asks Monica as well as the general public if they would like to have Bethenny as a boss. Monica dodges the question and they move on to the drinking word of the night. Cohen explained that every time they mentioned the name “Brandy” the audience was required to take a sip of the drink of their choice. Cohen, with a smirk on his face, cleverly asks Monica whether or not she and Brandi are still close friends after a feud that happened years ago. Monica says that they are and the tension was short lived and not that serious. (more…)

As Always “The View” Offers Lots Of Drama
Posted by wpadmin on May 15, 2012
This morning on “The View” the women were up and ready for war, and by war I mean bickering. The show began and controversial news was soon to follow. Stories of Secret Service men having relations with foreign prostitutes, Hilary Clinton partying it up while oversees, Mick Romney’s plan for women on welfare and oh so much more!
Barbara, Whoopi and Sherri seemed to be at odds this morning while disagreeing with pretty much everything the other had to say. It first started with welfare. The women were discussing Romney’s plan of having women back on the workforce after two years of staying at home to care for children and putting more money into childcare. Whoopi disagreed with the stigma that was placed upon women who need welfare assistance and Elizabeth, Barbara and a tad bit of Sherri were not having it.
Next Sherri did not agree with Bill Cosby’s notion of looking at the Travon Martin case and Barbara nipped that in the bud before Sherri could finish her thought.
As soon as the Hot Topics were finished everyone seemed to relax and talk about lighter things. The bickering turned to playful discussion on Brad and Angelina’s engagement with the million dollar ring, Barbara’s sex life (which made Whoopi’s eyes bleed) and a new HBO series entitled “The Girls”.

“Pawn Stars” Recap
Posted by wpadmin on
The day begins on a high note with a plethora of 1960’s rock and roll posters. These authentic pieces include everything from the Rolling Stones to Janice Joplin. While the seller is expecting to earn a 3000 dollar profit for his hip treasures he leaves satisfied with 1,125 bucks.
The next customer is not so lucky. Old Man deals with a kid looking to earn a hefty sum for his case of Civil War era glass eyes. There are hundreds of these creepy collectables and the kid thinks that Vegas would be the place for this type of odd treasure. Unfortunately the Old Man is not buying. He will have to take his glass eyes someplace else.
The next guy who comes in is lugging a pretty flashy Evel Knievel pinball machine from the 1970’s. The machine is a bit beat up and no longer works but it is authentic. Cory decides to take on the machine and buys it from the seller for 1200 bucks. He thinks that he has made a pretty good profit and estimates that after fixing up the pinball machine he will be able to resell it for an estimated 3000 dollars.
However, after taking the machine to a friend whose specialty is pinball machines he finds out that the repairs will be an estimated 300 dollars and that the resell price will only be about 900 dollars at the most. That puts Cory in a 600 dollar loss and now he will have to face Old Man and his father and tell them the bad news. (more…)

New Airport Screening Rules Revealed On ABC’s “20/20”
Posted by wpadmin on April 23, 2012
Do you still have to take off your shoes? Can you have scissors and carry-ons? Airport security checks can be a nightmare with all the confusion that creates havoc with airport screening rules. One of the problems is the rules keep changing. No wonder travelers get frustrated. As technologies and tools evolve, the rules and security process changes.
At one time the shoe bomber and underwear bombers created a scare that brought about a kind of fear that nonmetallic explosives concealed on a passenger’s body was the number one threat. Now the rules have been revised and here are the highlights from Greg Soule, a TSA public affairs officer as presented on last week’s episode of the “20/20” news show that airs Friday nights at 10/9c on ABC.
When British police thwarted a plot in August 2010 to blow up at least 10 planes traveling between the UK and America with liquid explosives, the ability for passengers to carry any liquids, gels, or aerosols on flights was taken away immediately as a revision, but new rules were loosened several weeks later.
The new guidelines allow passengers to carry on limited liquids set by TSA 3-1-1 rule which means you may have 3.4 ounce containers or smaller enclosed in one quart size plastic zip lock bag per traveler. Exceptions to the rule include medications, baby formula, food, and breast milk within reasonable quantities over 3.4 ounces and do not need to be enclosed in a plastic bag. However, these need to be disclosed at the check point and offices may elect to screen them. Larger containers and large toothpaste tubes are not allowed. What constitutes a liquid? If it pours, pumps, squeezes, spreads, sprays, or will spill, it is a liquid. (more…)
