‘High School Musical 3′ wins at Kids Choice Awards
Filed Under Entertainment, News | Leave a Comment
LOS ANGELES – “High School Music 3: Senior Year” graduated with honors Saturday at the Kids Choice Awards.
The Disney musical was selected as the favorite movie by audience votes at the 22nd annual slime-filled Nickelodeon spectacle held inside UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion. “High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens was also selected as the favorite movie actress.
“Lately, a lot of people have been taking credit for bringing back the musical,” Zac Efron said while accepting the movie’s trophy. “The truth is we’ve known who’s been responsible for bringing back the musical all along. It was you guys!”
The show’s hijinks kicked off with host and “Race to Witch Mountain” star Dwayne Johnson zip-lining over the audience of screaming teens and tweens into a “slime temple.” Johnson proceeded to spray the first row with gooey green slime. Other shenanigans included squirting singer Jesse McCartney with a fake microphone and Will Farrell slipping and sliding down a hill.

Cupid’ gets a second chance on ABC
Filed Under Entertainment, News | Leave a Comment
NEW YORK – Love sometimes get second chances, but failed TV series rarely do. “Cupid” has become one of those rare exceptions.
ABC is resurrecting the romantic comedy that lasted 14 episodes on its schedule in 1998-99. It premieres Tuesday in a plum 10 p.m. time slot following the network’s biggest hit, “Dancing With the Stars.”
Yet it’s not the same series that its fans may fondly remember, and not only because original stars Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall are not available this time.
ABC had been kicking around ideas with Rob Thomas, the original series creator who had gone on to other projects like “Veronica Mars.” The network executives said they were thinking about something like “Cupid,” when the light bulb went on over their heads: Why not just do “Cupid” again?
This sort of remake is something of a taboo, even for an industry where series fail much more often than they succeed, frequently for reasons that have little to do with their quality.
“A lot of people feel like there must be some sort of stigma attached,” said Kim Rozenfeld, ABC’s senior vice president of current programming. “If you tried and didn’t succeed, you shouldn’t touch it again.”

The New Adventures of Superman was a live-action television series inspired on DC comic books of Superman. It first aired on ABC, 13th of December 1993 and it ran for four seasons with 22 episodes each.
Dean Cain, starring as Superman, strange person from different planet with powers and abilities beyond those of a normal human being, who disguised as a news reporter and worked for the Daily Planet, the leading newspaper in Metropolis. Lois Lane, played by Teri Hatcher, a hard-driving female reporter, who’s a co-worker of Kent thinks of him a country-boy and doesn’t know that he and Superman is one.
Clark Kent also makes visit at his hometown, Smallville, where he had grown up after the spaceship carrying him from Planet Krypton crashed near the farm of his parents who adopted him was Martha and Jonathan Kent, played by K Callan and Eddie Jones. Also seen was Superman’s great nemesis, the fabulously wealthy master villain Lex Luthor (John Shea). Although there was some action, the emphasis was on romance, with a strong dose of humor. This also attracted a female fan base which became its loyal viewers.
Another aspect of the Lois and Clark series which brought some great humour and humanity to it was the late Lane Smith’s portrayal of news editor and chief Perry White, Lois and Clark was the first show that I’d seen give Perry White an identity beyond being the boss, and the dynamic of him being like a father figure to his reporters, especially the young Jimmy Olsen worked really well. The fact is Lane Smith made a huge impression and many still regard his portrayal as the best.
Lois and Clark conversion into DVD is fairly good for its quality even it’s almost a decade since it was last aired on tv. Their special effect is nowhere near the effects that we see on television shows and movies today but it did well since television effects are expensive during those days.

How to Watch Live Satellite TV On My PC?

Can I watch live satellite TV on my PC? This is probably a question that you have asked before. The answer is yes provided you know how. And today, you will learn how.
I tried many ways like many others to watch live satellite TV on PC. Each has its benefits and setbacks. Sad to say, most methods do not last long or they are too expensive to carry on.
The most obvious is to sign up for a monthly TV package with a satellite or cable TV provider. But the basic packages only come with about 100 over channels. Well, they have beefed up their deals a little by adding more channels but still, you only get to watch a few live satellite TV channels only. The rest are all pre-recorded programs.
Plus, the bill per month is about $20 over. When the football season comes, I have to subscribe for an additional sports TV channel in order to be able to watch live satellite TV on my PC. And everytime I find a channel that I fancy, I also quickly realize that I need to top up my basic package. Another $10 to 20 dollars gone every month!
So together with some friends, we decided to experiment with hardware cards called PCTV cards. The first ones we bought were from eBay for less than $100 per card. From there, we could watch live satellite TV on PC and tune into about 100 over channels. While it is much cheaper than a monthly television subscription, the programs are pretty limited. And it took us a few hours to figure out how to configure the piece of equipment.
We know that those higher-end cards sold in the electronic shops can fetch more channels. For the most powerful ones, they can get you more than 400 to 500 programs from different states and countries. And some even come with radio stations. But the price tags are rather out of reach for the average family. Each can cost $300 upwards.
Then, we dig a bit of research and poking around before we found a new way to watch live satellite TV on PC. The answer lies in a software called PC satellite TV software. And we love the price. For less than $49.99, we get instant access to more than 3000 over TV stations with a great number of live sports channels like ESPN News, Sport Star and GameSports TV. So we pay once and never have to foot another bill again!
We quickly realized that it is legitimate to watch live satellite TV on PC using the software because they are all streamed from Free to Air stations. Take a look at how it works through the link below and share this with your friends.

Are you confused about the meanings of Chinese astrology? Would you like to know more about this 5000 year old art?
Chinese astrology is based on the lunar calendar. As with astrology from other cultures, a horoscope is created using the position of the stars and planets for each of the twelve signs of the zodiac based on the year of birth.
The Twelve Chinese Signs
Rat
Rats are charming and attractive to the opposite sex. But despite outside appearances, they are restless and this sometimes comes across as aggressiveness. Rats are great with money, and love to pounce on an opportunity. They are also very generous to their friends. They love people and large gatherings and always have others around. They also run in many intimate circles and like to be involved in everything they can, leading them to sometimes attempt to do too much. They are good writers and speakers, and success comes easily to them.
Ox
Oxen are calm on the surface, but have hidden tempers. They are hard workers and are determined to the point of stubbornness. However, this makes them one of the most dependable signs. They are trustworthy, and easily move up at the office. If they don’t watch out, they may not have much of a social life. They are not very adept at mind games, and can sometimes be led astray in romance. But once they find someone, they are steadfast and loyal.
Tiger
Tigers are energetic and unpredictable. Their wild side leads them to be the center of attention. They speak their mind and are always looking for the new party or next great idea. They are also very involved in giving their time and money to the causes they are passionate about. They are generous and honest. However, they are also rebels. They seek ideals and will rebel against a society they perceive as being in the wrong. They are emotional and impulsive, prone to romance as well as jealousy.
Rabbit
Rabbits are gracious and gentle. They adore quiet and peacefulness, and prefer a good book to a night on the town. Their sensitivity can lead to moodiness, but normally rabbits are great at keeping the peace. While they are quiet on the surface, rabbits are good at finding deals. They are sweet and can talk people into being on their side of an issue without argument. While they are cautious, they can also be friendly and inviting once they feel safe.
Dragon
Dragons have fire. They are full of life, and want to live life to the fullest. They are perfectionists and are extremely demanding of both themselves and others. They intimidate those who disagree with them, although they are very loyal to their friends. They can be stubborn, but they will let you know how they feel. They believe themselves to be B and loveable, and they strive to motivate everyone to live up to their standards.
Snake
Snakes are mysterious, often charming the opposite sex. They are graceful, and tend towards all things grand and cultural. They are private tend to look inward for their self-esteem, and are superstitious about everything. They are not penny-pinchers, but always have money on hand. Snakes are jealous when they find a lover, and will turn cold almost on a whim.
Horse
Horses are generally friendly. They love being the center of attention, and will keep others enthralled by their quick wit. However, they have malleable alliances, and will have many short-lived romances and friendships. They enjoy the change, and lead lives full of adventure. They don’t like being tied down, and love working out and spending time outdoors. They don’t like sticking to a plan, and will often take on too much. They can be impatient with others whom they perceive as moving too slowly.
Sheep
Sheep are peaceful people. They empathize with others’ pain, and are easy to talk to. They don’t like to rush, and will break if pressured. They do not like harsh words, and love to be led gently. While they are passive, they are also patient, and generally they eventually get their way. They always remember their friends and families and give thoughtful gifts. They often worry about what others think, and tend too spend too much.
Monkey
Monkeys are intuitive and clever. They are hands-on problem solvers, and a great deal of self-confidence. They enjoy succeeding at difficult tasks, and don’t need to be talked into attempting one. The source of their success is their great memory. They are hard workers, and don’t care what others think of them. They don’t usually have many friends, although their success does attract people to them.
Rooster
Roosters are romantics. They are perfectionists and dreamers at the same time. Quick to see detail, they always love a challenge, especially if at first glance it looks impossible. They take great pride in knowing all the details of a subject that interests them, and are thus great debaters. However, they will never admit to being wrong. They also tend to step in and try to solve others’ problems, whether or not they have been invited to do so. They like to always stay busy, and will work for whatever they have their eye on.
Dog
Dogs are friendly and are always up front about their feelings. They are very family-oriented and are extremely loyal to their friends. They will fight for a cause they feel is just. They are not comfortable around extravagant wealth, and prefer a loving home regardless of social status. Once you befriend a dog, they will be by your side for life. They are monogamous, and tend to choose their lovers wisely. They work hard and play hard, and know when it is appropriate to be doing one or the other. They are good providers to those they love.
Pig
Pigs love a social life. They have many friends, and tend to stay out of heated discussions and all kinds of debates. It’s not that they don’t have an opinion; they simply love to party and don’t want to risk ruining the fun. They are good listeners, but are sometimes gullible and can be taken advantage of easily. This can sometimes hurt them in relationships. They are trustworthy and dependable, and stick by their friends. They are generous to those they care about.
The Five Elements
There is another layer to Chinese astrology that is less well known than the Chinese signs. Chinese astrologers use a 60 year cycle, made up of five sets of the twelve signs. The five repetitions of the signs each correspond to a different element, adding more intricacy to the animal.
The five elements are Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth.
In Chinese astrology, the elements are part of a cycle; one is not higher or better than another. In fact, they have a cyclical relationship, both in positive and negative ways, so that:
Water makes Wood
Wood makes Fire
Fire makes Earth
Earth makes Metal
Metal makes Water
and:
Water destroys Fire
Fire destroys Metal
Metal destroys Wood
Wood destroys Earth
Earth destroys Water
In addition, they can be openly aggressive and hostile:
Water resists Fire
Fire resists Metal
Metal resists Wood
Wood resists Earth
Earth resists Water
So now you know the basics of Chinese Astrology. Enjoy exploring your Chinese sign!

Astrology, Debunking, and the Closeness of the Charts
Filed Under Entertainment, News | Leave a Comment

Approximate Word Count: 350
Astrology is something not everyone believes in, but all people like to talk about it now and again. What Zodiac Sign are you? A skeptic will often try to explain why the astrological signs are often very close to the personality of an individual. Such as if a person is born in a colder climate at a certain time of the year, this will affect their development in the critical early years.
For those who use this rationality as a skeptical debunking case; well yes with regard to astrology and Month one was born and the nurturing of the mother with the child, amount of breast feeding, closeness to stay warm, body temp in early baby development, amount of outside playing during the first years, would all change ones personality as they grew thru their body changes, learned to walk, stood up fell down, observed things and categorized and imprinted memory, so yes indeed when one was born would in fact change ones personality so there could be that aspect to the whole thing, I completely concur.
Along with the thought of Northern Latitudes amount of time outside due to cold. Thus someone in the opposite seasons like a Canadian Refugee living in AZ who brought their kids to live there who had offspring, well their offspring would be absolutely opposite from the young person first learning to walk in a Northern climate in Winter time. Good points to consider.
I am not so much into astrology, however it is interesting how well sometimes they peg stuff in someone’s personality. Although so often they use general terms making it tough, as that could apply to anyone. In fact as I read other astrology signs well those also apply to what I know of my own personality, as a matter of fact they all kind of fit although a few don’t and in that regard a few of my supposed attributes of my sign do not fit either, so I again concur with the skeptical view or at least their debate makes sense from a rational standpoint, perhaps you will consider this in 2006.

NEW YORK – When troubled pop king Michael Jackson is involved, even a yard sale can become an epic struggle.
A Hollywood auction house hired by Jackson to sell off the contents of his shuttered Neverland Ranch said it is pressing ahead with plans to put some 2,000 items on the block in April, despite the pop legend’s surprise bid this month to halt the sale.
Some of the glitziest items will be on display to the public at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square this week, including one of Jackson’s signature black fedoras, two of his MTV Video Music Awards, costumes he wore on tour in the 1980s and several crystal-encrusted gloves.
Jackson filed a lawsuit in early March, claiming that he had never given permission for the sale of many “priceless and irreplaceable” items.
The auction house, Julien’s Auctions, fired back in court papers, saying that Jackson’s representatives had been deeply and enthusiastically involved in the sale for many months, until a sudden reversal last month.
The company’s president, Darren Julien, said in a sworn statement filed with a Los Angeles court that the singer’s representatives even tried to intimidate him into postponing the sale.
During a Feb. 9 meeting at a fast-food restaurant in Los Angeles, he said, one of Jackson’s employees warned that the auctioneers would be in danger “from Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam,” if they didn’t call it off.
“He told us that Dr. Tohme and Michael Jackson wanted to give the message to us ‘that our lives are at stake and there will be bloodshed,’” Julien said, referring to Jackson business manager, Tohme Tohme.
Alan Gutman, a lawyer Jackson’s company MJJ Productions, said Julien was “desperate to divert attention from his own misconduct” and accused him of making “scurrilous attacks.”
“Unfortunately, in the course of this case, Mr. Julien has not felt constrained by the truth while trying to capture the spotlight for the auction or himself with sensationalistic and fictionalized references to supposed threats that never occurred or baseless speculation about potential sales of Neverland,” Gutman told The Associated Press.”
He said the consignment agreement in which Jackson purportedly gave up his right to take items back before the auction was also illegal and unenforceable under California law.
Tohme did not immediately respond to a phone message.
Julien said he didn’t believe the threat, and the two sides have since agreed to let some of Jackson’s property continue to travel on a publicity tour in advance of an April 3 court hearing. The auction is scheduled for April 21.
A similar preview of the items in Ireland earlier this month drew thousands of fans, and the auctioneers expect thousands more at a larger exhibition and preview in Los Angeles in a few weeks.
Julien estimated that the sale could bring in $10 million to $20 million – money that Jackson could desperately use. He reportedly has been experiencing financial problems for several years, and has not performed a major concert since 2001 – four years before his acquittal on child molestation charges. He recently announced a series of concerts in London that sold out in hours.
Jackson will get any profits from the sale, minus the auction house commissions.
In court filings, Julien’s Auctions said it was first contacted by Jackson’s representatives about auctioning off Neverland’s trove of memorabilia last July.
Darren Julien said he found the 2,500-acre property and its zoo and amusement park rides “in shambles,” but jumped at the chance to salvage decades worth of art, clothing and furniture, as well as stage props and several of Jackson’s awards.
He said the items were removed over several months under the supervision of Jackson’s agents, and that the singer’s employees were also involved in drafting press releases, approving auction catalog covers and negotiating a deal to give 5 percent of the proceeds to charity.
“Its upsetting to me,” Julien said of the lawsuit.
But he said he was still intent on giving Jackson, his client, a “first-class auction.”
“There will never be another artist or celebrity like Michael Jackson,” Julien said. “He has the most dedicated fans of anyone we have ever worked with.”

LOS ANGELES – The top 10 “American Idol” finalists say they already count themselves as winners: They’ve earned a place on the show’s nationwide concert tour.
For Adam Lambert, the summer tour means the chance to buy a condo. Danny Gokey sees it as a financial boon as well. Michael Sarver fervently echoes that and looks forward to his version of a rock-star perq – ice cream, and lots of it.
“I have a major problem with ice cream. I should probably go to Ice Cream Anonymous meetings,” he said.
Sarver and his fellow contestants laugh when asked about any divalike demands, but they’re serious about the opportunity ahead of them.
“I didn’t know my situation if I had to go back home without the tour. … things are not easy right now,” said Sarver, 27, an oil-rig worker from Jasper, Texas, who’s married with two children. “This says I have work this year. It’s a blessing.”
Lambert, 27, of Los Angeles figures it’s about time he owned his own home. Megan Joy, 23, from Sandy, Utah, is looking forward to a little personal space for her and her toddler.
“I get to finally move out of my mom’s house,” she said, gleefully.
Dates and tour locations have yet to be announced for the tour, which follows the show’s May 20 finale. On this week’s shows the contestants were set to perform Motown tunes.
What they’ll be paid for the tour is kept under wraps by producers. Even the contestants were uncertain a week after making the cut.
“I keep hearing that it’s plenty,” said Kris Allen, 23, of Conway, Ark. “That’s nice.”
Of course, there’s more than money at stake – the chance to connect with fans and to build a career are the real plums, the finalists said.
“It still seems like a dream. … I can’t wait to see what I learn doing it,” said Matt Giraud, 23, of Kalamazoo, Mich.
The tour is “an amazing opportunity,” agreed Anoop Desai, 22, of Chapel Hill, N.C., calling “American Idol” the “biggest stage and best stage of all.”
The typical “Idol” concert swing lasts more than three months and includes 50 or 60 concerts, including stadiums. The contestants travel by bus.
“That’s what I’ve been dreaming about since I was a little kid, is going on the road and playing night after night … to share my music with whoever will listen to it. That’s what I’m here to do,” said Scott MacIntyre, 23, of Scottsdale, Ariz.
The finalists have bonded as housemates during the course of the TV show and expect the camaraderie – and the fun – to continue on tour, Lambert said.
Asked if he expects to be the demanding pop star, he laughed. “No, I take what I can get. I only like to play the part of the diva when I’m actually performing, but I don’t like to act like that otherwise,” he said.
Most expect to travel light, with cell phones and computers among the items mentioned as must-haves. Gokey, 28, of Milwaukee, whose wife died shortly before he auditioned for “American Idol,” says his computer has “all my pictures on it. Basically, my whole life’s on it.”
The youngest finalist, 16-year-old Allison Iraheta of Downey, Calif., will be bringing along her schoolwork and maybe a parent.
“My mom might be going on tour with me, so it will be interesting,” Iraheta said.
Lil Rounds, 24, of Memphis, Tenn., is hoping her husband and three children can visit her when the tour is close to home.
“The babies understand what I’m doing and they’re proud,” Rounds said.
She and her fellow contestants are just beginning to grasp their sudden shift in fortune.
“I went from singing at a church in front of maybe 70 to 80 people to a national tour. It’s absolutely amazing,” Rounds said.
For all the excitement the concert tour promises, the contestants want to believe it’s just the start of something big.
“I’ll definitely be sticking around, I hope, after all is said and done. I’m not stopping,” said MacIntyre.
Gokey wants the same.
“It’s so exciting to be on the road and fulfilling the dream that I’ve had. I’m hoping it’s just the beginning,” he said.
