EMMY WINNING ACTRESS CHRISTINA APPLEGATE STARS IN NBC'S NEW FALL SERIES UP ALL NIGHT

2011-09-14T01:09:00.002-04:00

We fell in love with her in her role of Kelly Bundy on the FOX hit series, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN. We watched her bring to life the role of the young Grace Kelly in the hit film of the same name, GRACE KELLY. It was at that point that America discovered its true admiration and fondness for the extraordinary talent and personality of TV/FILM Actress, Christina Applegate. It's no surprise that not too long ago she received the coveted PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD for America's favorite TV Actress.

After recently having her baby in January of this year off the screen, Christina for the first time since having her child is now returning to Hollywood with her Nanny in place to take care of her newborn in order to bring to us her comedic, artistic gifts yet again, this time, in a role that is essentially "reality driven" and one that will hit home with all viewers.

In the new fall season launch of the NBC SERIES, UP ALL NIGHT, Christina stars with Arrested Development's Will Arnett in a funny new series about Parenting and the crazy schedules that present themselves when the baby comes home. Christina plays the role of Reagan, a high energy PR executive with Will playing the role of Chris, her stay at home husband. The two are inseparable from the baby and are excited to incessantly share photos and dialogue about the birth of their first child with Saturday Night Live Alumni, Maya Rudolph, who plays Reagan's boss on the series.

The series explores the minute by minute unpredictable adventures of parenting a newborn baby, from the couple's inability to communicate in "English" to the child to their comedically driven ideas of how to communicate in "goo goo" language that lead to miscommunications between them and the baby all brought out in quirky and funny scenarios that the three seasoned comedic stars are sure to present in each episode, ultimately exploring the dynamic of balancing all nighters with burping the baby and at the same time having a personal life. Cast members include Nick Cannon and Matt Lauer and is produced by Broadway Video, the powerhouse production company that brings us SNL every week. The fall season launch of UP ALL NIGHT is set to air at 8pm Pacific/ 10pm Central, Wednesday, September 14,2011.

Congratulations, Christina!

Gillette Daisy Razors - The New Pink For Men?

2011-09-14T00:58:00.000-04:00

Guys put away your brain-washed teachings that the color pink is for girls only, if you really want a great shave. Gillette Daisy disposable razors might surprise you!

By S. Rothe' du Bois

August 21, 2011

Being a man, I too was taught, pink for girls, blue for guys. However, I have never been one to follow everything I was told. Although there are times, I have drawn the line. Gillette Daisy Razors was one of those periods of time when I had to draw the line, until about four years ago. Don't worry guys, you can always tell your friends, if you are doubting your masculinity, a girl spent some time with you and left them in your bath area or bedroom. Nobody has to know, right?

Here's how it went down. I've always believed that disposable razors were for emergencies only and certainly having the latest electric or razor blade was the way things were supposed to be. Male products for men. First, there were single blades, twin blades, triple, quad and if there are more now, I wouldn't know.

I am on my phone talking to my then, girlfriend, now my wife, Cher. Walking the aisles in a Walgreens store on Market Street in central San Francisco, we are discussing items I am buying. I mention I must buy razors, the shiny packaged quad type. Cher casually suggests, "You should try Gillette Daisy disposables."

I couldn't believe my ears! How could she suggest such a thing? I am a man, I thought. How could she think for a moment the guy she was engaged to marry would ever use some "girl's" razor... pink at that! Being they were disposables, made matters worse. Surely Cher did not think a guy would use such an item, much less walk up to the cashier with these items in his hand. Bringing my thoughts together and shaking off the sheer shock, I explained to my future bride how real men do not buy pink, disposable razors... ever!

Cher proceeded to inform me she had suggested them to a REAL MAN friend of hers, and how he reluctantly tried them, hid them for a few days, but thanked her for the suggestion. Naturally, knowing she could be a prankster, I knew (or so I believed) Cher was testing me.

So, I laughed and made it known the gig was up and how she had me going for a minute. What kind of guy would ever have those in his travel shaving kit or personal bathroom? Yet, she did not give, "No really," she continues, "Try them, you might be surprised, my friend was, he still uses them as far as know."

I bought my regular quad type razors and nonchalantly picked up a 10 pack of pink Gillette Daisy disposable, plastic razors. At least the clerk would think I was buying razors for me and pink Daisy's for a female friend.

Here we are four years later, when it is time to buy razors, my wife buys a pack for herself and I purchase a pack for me. I have never had a shave as close as I do with the Daisy. I was quite surprised, and if anyone should ever ask why I have pink disposable razors in my bath area, I proudly tell them the story of how I discovered that pink is not always for women only.

Try them and let me know what you think. You might be surprised. Don't worry though, your secret will be safe with me, until the day comes you can share the story with your friends.

Television's 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 13 Cast Revealed

2011-09-14T00:54:00.000-04:00

Summoning the who's who of the backwaters of cable television, the "Dancing With The Stars" season 13 cast has officially been announced.

Leading the pack is David Arquette, who was linked with the show a few weeks back. He just got back from a trip to Africa to help raise awareness of malaria prevention, and perhaps his good karma will get him closer to the mirror ball trophy. Last season, Hines Ward took home the top prize; the season before that, Jennifer Grey was the winner.

Perhaps the most intriguing entrant is Elisabetta Canalis, the Italian model and ex-girlfriend of George Clooney. And by far most hilariously, Nancy Grace, the bombastic Headline News host, will also be competing for a shot at dance floor immortality.

Also, there will be a bit of a family rivalry, as Ron Artest, teammate of Khloe Kardashian's husband Lamar Odom, is squaring off against Rob Kardashian, her brother.

The season starts September 19th.

Here's the full list:

Ricki Lake
Ron Artest
Kristin Cavallari
Chynna Phillips
David Arquette
Carson Kressley
Nancy Grace
J.R. Martinez
Hope Solo
Rob Kardashian
Elisabetta Canalis
Chaz Bono

Lady Gaga Spotted Romancing Music Video Co-star

2011-09-14T00:50:00.000-04:00

Does Lady Gaga have a hot new beau? According to Radar Online, the envelope-pushing pop diva has been seeing someone since July: her “You and I” video co-star Taylor Kinney, who appeared on “The Vampire Diaries.”

“It was just casual at first, but things are getting pretty hot and heavy,” a source told the site.

Evidently they were sighted together at a beach bar in Mission Viejo where they downed whiskey shots on Sept. 4.

“I couldn’t tell it was her at first,” recalled a patron. “It just looked like some hot couple making out, but then I realized it was Lady Gaga!”

And the next day, the pair were spotted strolling in the same town.

“Her hair was a little messy. It definitely seemed like a ‘morning after’ situation,” said the onlooker. “They are obviously totally into each other!”

Wait, this was the same observer? Sounds more like a stalker!

Spinning Tale - Paris Hilton

2011-09-14T00:47:00.000-04:00

Is Paris Hilton embarking on a new career behind the turntables? According to TMZ, the club scene queen now wants to be … well, a club scene queen, but as a DJ rather than someone who just dances on tables.

Insiders tell the paparazzi site that Paris has been traveling around the world in order to shadow internationally famous DJs such as Afrojack and
Deadmau5 — and will even make an appearance onstage with the latter.

The celebutante is readying a house music album and seeks to become the “queen of house music,” according to a source, because “no woman has ever taken over in that arena ... and she wants to become that person.”

We find it hard to believe that Paris would pick a profession that would keep her off the dance floor and out of sight at nightclubs.

’90210′ Newcomer Justin Deeley - Underwear Shoot

2011-09-14T00:02:00.001-04:00

He is much more than beautiful.

The 4th season of 90210 premieres tonight and they’ve got a new sheriff in town; southern hunk Justin Deeley has saddled up to steam up the sexiest zip code on television.

Justin has landed the recurring role of Austin, a sexy cowboy type who’ll be a potential love interest for AnnaLynne McCord’s Naomi.

Although the show’s trailer pokes fun of his post-pool “package”, these photos of him in men’s board shorts from International Jock indicate that he is one virile young buck.

Considering he looks just as great in Calvin Klein Underwear as he does in men’s sleepwear, it’s clear that this new Beverly Hills cowboy is the kind who can ride all night.

Justin Deeley, born February 1, 1986, in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, is an American actor and model.

Deeley did sprints in the Track and Field at University of Louisville. Shortly after completing his classes, he signed with Nous Models Management and was cast as an extra playing a soldier in "Roswell: The Aliens Attack". He enjoyed it so much, he decided to give acting another shot.

Immediately, Deeley auditioned for a number of various parts. He tried out for the comedy "Couples Retreat" playing a trainer, among other things, and was cast. He has guest starred in several TV shows and fims including "Lost Tapes", "Blink", "Devolved" and "The Youngster".

On the side, Deeley still models. He has appeared in Print ads for "A|X" and "Emporio Armani Underwear". His hobbies are jogging, listening to music and traveling.

See the Slideshow on Emerging Magazine!

Yes, he is something else. And from what I can see, he's bound to gain many more fans before the night is through. Working beside hunky Trevor Donovan (also in Emerging Magazine), he has to make heads turn too! I doubt he'll have a problem doing that.

2011 Interview With A 23 Year Old Ku Klux Klansman From Vidor, Texas

2011-07-18T23:40:00.000-04:00

Interview With A Klansman - Vidor, Texas 2011

Recently, while visiting Texas I had an opportunity to interview a young 23 year old Ku Klux Klan family member from Vidor, Texas.

Vidor, Texas is a small town of approximately 26,000 people, nestled between the Texas/Louisina border and Beaumont, Texas. The majority of citizens residing in Vidor are 96.6% Caucasian with an estimated 664 Hispanics, 15 Asians and an estimated 7 African-Americans.

Vidor is known by many as one of the several small American towns named, Sundowner Towns. Sundowner towns are reputed for following the rule, "No Blacks Allowed After Sundown." The Texas town has a reputation as being a Ku Klux Klan haven.

When asked about Klan rallies in Vidor, city officials are quick to point out that it doesn't mean that a rally is filled with Vidor residents. The Klan brings in members from other areas.

The Federal Government stepped in 1992 to ensure black families would live in Vidor. A few moved in under the mandate, but moved out later.The following interview was conducted between myself and a 23 year old man named Allen, residing in Vidor, Texas.

The young man had recently been released from an Orange County Texas jail. He was accused of a MTRP (Motion To Revoke Probation). The following is our up close and personal interview.

EM: You were recently released from jail for a MTRP. What are you expecting to receive as a sentence from the court for this offense?

Allen: I have been offered 18 months State Jail by the District Attorney's office.

EM: Obviously you have been in trouble with the police in the past, how many times have you been in trouble prior to today?

Allen: I had six (6) felonies before I was 16 years old. I stole a church school bus when I was 12 years old.

EM: You were twelve (12) years old when you first got into trouble with police? Was this your first time to be charged with a felony?

Allen: No, this was not my first time to get into trouble, I was in and out of Juvie (Juvenile Detention) beginning at age ten (10) until I was sixteen (16) years old. Six charges were felonies of which I was charged and convicted and served time as well as received probation before I was 16.

EM: What was your worst experience during these times?

Allen: There really weren't any times I can call, "worst," they were all learning experiences.

EM: During your earlier years or in your present did you join any gangs are become affiliated with any organizations?

Allen: I am affiliated with an organization, but not due to my scrapes with the law.

EM: May I ask what organization you are affliated with?

Allen: I don't mind you asking. I have been a member of the Ku Klux Klan since I was three (3) years old.

EM: How did you become affiliated at such a young age?

Allen: My family members are Klansmen.

EM: The world is familiar with the KKK and some of its history. However, coming from you, a long time member, what can you tell me is the purpose of the KKK?

Allen: Our purpose is to protect and preserve the existence of our white race and our white children. We are not to hate others, but to preserve and protect.

EM: What does the organization hope to accomplish? To Read More [Click Here]

Versace For H&M - Margareta van den Bosch with Donatella Versace.

2011-07-04T22:14:00.001-04:00

VERSACE will design for H&M this year, becoming the latest high fashion label to work with the Swedish high street brand.
SEE A COLLECTION PREVIEW HERE

"I am thrilled to be collaborating with H&M and to have the opportunity of reaching its wide audience," Donatella Versace said this morning. "The collection will be quintessential Versace, perfect for H&M and Versace fans everywhere."
The announcement marks a turnaround for Versace, who in 2008 claimed that a high street diffusion line simply wasn't the Versace way. "I respect everyone who does it. But the reason I didn't do it is because I work very hard to put the Versace line in the luxury section.

I think to put the Versace line in H&M would confuse the brand," she told New York Magazine. However, rather than 'diffusion', this line is being sold as an 'Iconic Collection' for which Donatella will raid the archives of the Italian fashion house that was founded by her brother Gianni in 1978.

No doubt hoping to have the same affect on shoppers as Alber Elbaz last year, when his Lanvin for H&M collection sold out in a matter of minutes (with many items subsequently selling for even greater prices on eBay), Donatella will launch H&M menswear, womenswear and homeware which will go on sale on November 17 - shortly followed by a pre-spring collection that will be available online from January 19.

"Versace is one of the most important brands of recent times and their collection for H&M will be glamorous and flamboyant - everything Versace stands for," said Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M - who has masterminded collaborations with Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Comme des Garcons and Jimmy Choo in the past. "Donatella Versace is sharing with us iconic designs from the archives. This is such a celebratory collaboration and is perfect for the party season."

Margareta van den Bosch with Donatella Versace.
