Omaha, Nebraska, USA. The band Bright Eyes is coming back with their fourth LP "The People's Key". Because of this fact, they give away the first single "Shell Games". Here you can listen to it below. I think, this will be a gorgeous album, which will be released on 15th February 2011.

Breaking news:Natalie Portman pregnant and engaged

Publication: People online
Date: 27 December 2010

People reports on their website that Natalie Portman is pregnant and engaged to the father of her child, choreographer Benjamin Millepied (seriously? Millepied?), age 33. This is the first child and first marriage for the 29 year old actress, who is cute as a button even when she isn't all glammed up. She's one of those actresses that gossip outlets leave alone, since she shows up and does her work and has the absolute minimum of drama in her personal life.

In keeping with this blog's pro-love policy, we wish the happy couple and their baby all the best.

Pulling a Bullock™:Eva Longoria talks about adoption

Publication: In Touch
Date: 3 January 2011

Scenario. Imagine you are a female celebrity, rich, famous and good looking, married to a celebrity husband. Life is good. Then suddenly, everybody in the world knows your husband is a cheating dog. Now, instead of envied and admired, you are pitied by "nice people" and the less generous wonder if your husband's inability to keep it in his pants doesn't reflect on you in some way.

What can you do?

If you are Eva Longoria, you Pull a Bullock™.

Readers of the gossip rags this year will know what I mean by this, though readers from the U.K. will probably snigger at the phrase. Adopt some poor deserving orphan and raise the child on your own with only an army of paid professional to help. If we believe In Touch, Eva Longoria is planning to do just that, and because she is clearly The Wronged Woman, this qualifies as a Full Bullock™. Earlier stories about Kim Kardashian thinking about adoption as a single woman would qualify as a Half Bullock™.

I've created a new label, Pulling a Bullock™. Eva may be alone in trying to repeat this exact move, but given what a huge P.R. success Sandy had this year and the lack of originality in Hollywood, I wouldn't be surprised if this happens again.

Note: Sandra Bullock did NOT Pull a Bullock™. For this generation, she pretty much invented the damn move. You can't steal your own material.

Love Bird Alert™?:Eva is still seeing Tony

One sign that a gossip story is not over yet is when magazines publish contradictory stories in the same week. So it is with Tony Parker and Eva Longoria this week, with Weekly Life & Style saying the diminutive actress is still seeing her cheating basketball husband.

And the camera noses in to the tears on her face:Amber's secret tragedy.

Publication: In Touch
Date: 3 January 2011

Here's the first example of less censorship on the blog in 2011, though technically it's still December 2010 if you read a calendar instead of the cover of a gossip rag. I never reported before on the show Teen Mom and there were a lot of supermarket mag cover stories about it, especially about Amber Portwood. I haven't watched the show and unless I'm kidnapped and forced to watch, I never will. From what the gossip rag headlines, Amber is quite the handful and social services took her baby away because she's a slut and a generally unfit mother.

Supposedly, she has a secret tragedy. When it comes to reality TV shows, the word "secret" has no understandable meaning in English usage.
