Stars Shrine ready for Sunday's SAG Awards

A sea of famous faces will fill the Shrine Exhibition Center Sunday for the Screen Actors Guild Awards so the theater and the famous faces spent Saturday getting ready. A spate of stars, including Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner, popped by the Shrine to rehearse their lines for Sunday's show, which honors the year's top performances in TV and film.

The Shrine Exhibition Center, which is basically a giant concrete box, has been transformed into an elegant dining room for the festivities. Crystal chandeliers dangle from the ceiling above tables dressed in black.

Placards saved the stars' seats Saturday. The nominated cast of "Glee" will spill out over three tables near the stage. James Franco, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and the stars of "The Social Network" will have front row seats. Behind them will be Annette Bening and the nominated cast of "The Kids are All Right," plus a few tables for the nominated ensembles of "30 Rock" and "Mad Men."

Renner read over his lines in the green room � decked out in white leather, black lacquer and orchids � before stepping out onto the ivory-and-silver stage.

Dressed in sneakers, blue jeans and a gray pullover, he practiced with a stand-in to present the award for male actor in a TV movie or miniseries. A stage manager explained that if the winner is absent, Renner should accept the award on his behalf.

"I finally won one!" he said as he pretended to claim the trophy.

In less than five minutes, his rehearsal was done.

"Thanks for coming by. Have a good day tomorrow," the stage manager told Renner as he walked away.

But seconds later, the actor returned to the stage. He just wanted to see where he'd be sitting.

In the front row, of course.

"Yeah, it's a good seat," he said with a smile.

Renner is among a star-studded list of presenters that includes Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, Nicole Kidman, Eva Longoria, Justin Timberlake, Tina Fey, Geoffrey Rush, Alec Baldwin, Mark Wahlberg, Natalie Portman and Betty White.

The SAG awards will be presented at 8 p.m. ET and broadcast live on TNT and TBS.

Halle Berry is SO NOT Engaged - 2011

?

Halle Berry's Alleged Engagement Ring?

I'm just calling it like I see it people, so Calm Down. Settle down.

Fall back.

 A girl can wear

a ring on her "ring finger" and it can still be fashion jewelry or fine jewelry. Anyway, I hardly

think that this ring qualifies as engagement jewelry. It's pretty, but c'mon now.  Halle Berry is better than that, and you and I both know it.

New Year - Again. Ho Hum .

Let's face it - we're getting older. I was having coffee today with a friend of mine who has an upcoming film project that will potentially take him away from "life as we know it" for a year and a half. What a gig - what an opportunity - what a time span. He said "You know, I don't know if I want to go away for a year and a half, and come back to find myself a year and a half older - and

The Five Stages of Drumkeness

Stage #1 -- Smart

This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject. You know all and greatly wish to express this knowledge to anyone who will listen. At this stage you are also always right. And of course the person you are talking with is very wrong. You will talk for hours trying to convince someone that you are right. This makes for an interesting argument when both parties are "smart". Two people talking, in fact, arguing about a subject neither one really knows anything about, but are convinced that they are they complete authority on the subject makes for great entertainment for those get the opportunity to listen in.

Stage #2 -- Handsome/Pretty

This is when you are convinced that you are the best looking person in the entire room and everyone is looking at you. You begin to wink at perfect strangers and ask them to dance because of course they had been admiring you the whole evening. You are the center of attention, and all eyes are directed at you because you are the most beautiful thing on the face of the earth. Now keep in mind that you are still smart, so you can talk to this person who has been admiring you about any and all subjects under the sun.

Stage #3 -- Rich

This is when you suddenly become the richest person in the world. You can buy drinks for the entire bar and put it on your bill because you surely have an armored truck full of your money parked behind the bar. You can also make bets in this stage. Now of course you still know all, so you will always win all your bets. And you have no concern for how much money you bet because you have all the money in the world. You will also begin to buy drinks for all the people in the bar who are admiring you because you are now the smartest, prettiest, and richest person on the face of the earth.

Stage #4 -- Bulletproof

You can now pick fights with the people you have been betting money with because you cannot be hurt by anything. At this point you would go up to the boyfriend of the woman who had been admiring your beautiful self all evening and challenge him to a battle of wits for money. You have no worry about losing this battle of wits because you know all, have all the money to cover this bet, and you obviously win a fight that might erupt if he looses.

Stage #5 -- Invisible

This is the final stage of drunkenness. At this point you can do absolutely anything because no one can see you. You can get up and dance on a table; you can strip down to your underwear, to impress the people who have been admiring you all evening, because the rest of the people in the room cannot see you. You are also invisible to the person whom you have picked a fight with earlier in the evening. You can walk through the streets singing at the top of your lungs (because of course you are still smart and know the tune perfectly) and no one will think anything of it because they can't see you. All your social inhibitions are gone. You can do anything, because no one will know.

And you certainly won't remember !

Leamington man loses $150,000 in Nigerian scam (Yahoo boys)

 An emotional John Rempel tells his story of how he has lost $150,000 of the family's money to a Nigerian scam.

A Leamington man has fallen prey to international scam artists who strung him along for more than a year with the promise of millions in cash, but ultimately bilked him and his family of $150,000. John Rempel said he quit his truck driving job, lost friends, borrowed money and crossed the globe in pursuit of a non-existent inheritance, after he was contacted by e-mail in what is known as a Nigerian 419 scam.

Rempel said he borrowed $55,000 from an uncle in Mexico and his parents gave him $60,000 on credit to cover fees for transferring $12.8 million into his name. �They�re in it now because of me,� said Rempel, 22, breaking into sobs. �If it wasn�t for me, nobody would be in this mess. You think things will work out, but it doesn�t. It�s a very bad feeling. I had lots of friends.

�I never get calls anymore from my friends. You know, a bad reputation.� His troubles began in July 2007. He said he got an e-mail from someone claiming to be a lawyer with a client named David Rempel who died in a 2005 bomb attack in London, England, and left behind $12.8 million.

�They used to come in the mail,� said Leamington police Const. Kevin O�Neil. �Now the majority of these are sent through e-mail. Keeping up with the times, using all the wonderful technology that�s available to them.� �I was told once that they send out 30,000 e-mails a day, around the world, and they hope for just one or two responses.

Once you return a phone call or return an e-mail, these people now have their hooks into you.� The lawyer said his client had no family but wanted to leave the money to a Rempel. It was his lucky day. �It sounded all good so I called him,� said Rempel. �He sounded very happy and said God bless you.� The man then told him he had to pay $2,500 to transfer the money into his name. Then there were several more documents. Some cost $5,000.

He was told to open an account at a bank in London. That required a $5,000 minimum deposit. The crooks later sent him an e-mail with a link to what he was told were details of his new account. Some money had been transferred there for �safe keeping.� �Everything was good,� said Rempel. Then he got an e-mail from a government department � he�s not sure which country � saying he owed $250,000 on tax on his inheritance.

Rempel spoke to his contact, who told him they negotiated the fee down to $25,000. Rempel went to Mexico where his uncle owns a farm. His uncle gave him $10,000 cash and money for a plane ticket. He was going to London to make sure it was legitimate. �I had $10,000 in cash in my pocket and my uncle sent another $25,000 when I was over there.

� In London, Rempel met some people and handed over the $10,000. They met Rempel the next day with a suitcase. They said it had $10.6 million in shrink-wrapped U.S. bills. Rempel wanted more proof. His new friends pulled out one bill and �cleansed� it with a liquid �formula,� which washed off some kind of stamp. Rempel was told that process made the money �legal tender.� �I was like holy crap, is that mine?� he said.

�They said �yes sir, it�s yours.� It all sounded legit.� Rempel returned to his hotel room clutching the formula and waited for the others so they could cleanse all his money. They never showed, and later told him they got held up. In the meantime, Rempel dropped the formula. The bottle broke. He called his contact who said he�d get more. Rempel returned to Leamington and waited.

A few weeks later Rempel got a call. They found more formula. It would cost $120,000. �I thought, �let�s work on it, nothing is impossible,�� said Rempel. His contacts were willing to meet associates in different countries to get cash for the formula. It would require several plane tickets, worth $6,000 each. Rempel was told they collected $100,000, but still needed $20,000.

There was a guy in Nigeria who had it, but another plane ticket was required. The contact later told him he could only get $15,000 and �begged� Rempel for the last $5,000. Rempel borrowed money. He stopped making Visa and car payments. They called a week later and said the money was ready to go. They just needed $6,900 for travel costs and to rent trunks to ship the money.

Later, the men called to say they were at the airport in New York. Security stopped them and they needed $12,500 for a bribe. Finally, Rempel had enough. �I said, �no way I�m cleaned out.�� Rempel, his parents and 10-year-old brother Ike drove to New York. They spent a day searching the airport for the men, with no luck. They returned home and called police.

�I really thought in my heart this was true,� said Rempel.

Jimmy Buffett falls off stage at Australia concert

Jimmy Buffett fell off a stage at the end of a concert in Australia and was rushed to the hospital, but a representative for his sister said Wednesday the singer is doing fine.

Australia's Daily Telegraph reports that audience members saw the 64-year-old fall face first off the stage and hit his head at a concert in Sydney.

Buffett's manager then took the stage and urged fans to leave the auditorium, the Hordem Pavillion.

The singer was brought to Sydney's St. Vincent's Hospital but is apparently doing well.

"Lucy spoke to his camp and he is doing fine, recovering, and will stay in the hospital overnight," said Johnny Fisher the general manager for Lulu's the restaurant Lucy Buffett owns in Gulf Shores, Ala. He added that Buffett had a CAT scan that was normal. He added that updates would be available on the singer's website. The concert was Buffett's fifth and last in Sydney on his current tour.

Manson Girls' film announced at Sundance

A new movie directed by Susanna Lo will focus on the female followers of cult leader Charles Manson.

Production on "Manson Girls" will begin this spring, Lo announced Monday at the Sundance Film Festival. Lo wrote the screenplay for the film which will examine the lives of eight young women who were followers of Manson.

The cast includes Taryn Manning, Heather Matarazzo, Tania Raymonde and Monica Keena.

Manson and three women followers were convicted in Los Angeles in 1971 of murder and conspiracy in the 1969 slayings of seven people, including actress Sharon Tate.

Lo said she became interested in the story when she realized she was living across the street from the house once occupied by Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, who were killed the next night.

She decided the most interesting element of the story was what made the girls fall under Manson's spell.

"I wanted to tell their early story when they were teenagers to before the Tate-LaBianca murders. That was much more fascinating to me. Why and how. How could this tiny, strange man from prison and almost a derelict completely attract all of these fantastic girls?" Lo said.

"I thought that was a very innovative way to tell the story," said Raymonde, who will play Manson follower Leslie Van Houten. "I thought that it wasn't exploitative at all ... and it wasn't putting any focus on Manson because I think one of the most interesting aspects is you never see him in the film."

Keena was so intent on playing Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme that she studied her intensely before her audition and now knows "everything about her."

"It gives you a chance to have some sort of empathy toward them that you might not have had before," Keena said. "I'm not saying you should forgive them, but there's a method to their madness, let's say."

Songs from the 1960s will help drive the story. Guy Allison of the Doobie Brothers will compose the music for the film.

Manson is serving a life sentence in a California prison. He has a devoted fan base, which concerns Manning.

"I'm a little worried about random weird fan mail but you can't really think about that," she said.

Portman rings in 2011 with awards 4 movies baby

For Natalie Portman, 2011 is already shaping up to be an unforgettable year. The actress is getting big awards buzz for her turn as a ballerina gone mad in "Black Swan." She already won a Golden Globe, she's up for a Screen Actors Guild award and she's sure to hear her name when Oscar nominations are announced next week. Portman also has four other movies slated for release this year � including the first produced by her own company.

Oh, and she's pregnant with her first child and engaged to be married.

"I'm very, very excited," she says during an interview to promote her romantic comedy "No Strings Attached," which opens Friday. "I feel very, very lucky."

And maybe just a bit overwhelmed.

Ever poised in interviews, and always the picture of perfection at events, the Harvard grad and Oscar nominee (for 2004's "Closer") says having four movies in the pipeline at the same time she's starting a family is "a little insane."

Not that she's letting it get to her � or letting it show, except for maybe the family part. Though she has a spate of scheduled appearances coming up � awards shows, film festivals, premieres � she's not dashing around town juggling meetings and fittings. Instead, the star who recently relocated to Los Angeles from her hometown of New York says she's just relaxing with her mom and enjoying the West Coast weather.

"I think because so much is going on, it's just sort of going over my head," Portman says, her petite frame folded on a sofa, her hand intuitively resting on her bourgeoning belly. "I don't know that I'm taking it all in. I'm just like, 'Oh, the sun is shining. I'm with my mom. I'm with my dog. Life is good.'"

Indeed, things are good for the 29-year-old. She's engaged to Benjamin Millepied, a ballet dancer and choreographer who worked on "Black Swan," and they are expecting their first child together. He was her date at the Globes, and when she was named best actress in a drama, she thanked him for "helping me to continue this creation of creating more life."

Portman is also giving life to new movies through her production company, handsomecharlie films. The company's first feature, "Hesher," in which she stars with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, premiered at Sundance and is set for release this year. Handsomecharlie is also developing "Best Buds," a road-trip tale of a bride-to-be who staves off a nervous breakdown by hanging with her friends and smoking marijuana. Portman is set to star.

"We like all sorts of movies: drama, thriller, sci-fi, comedy," she says of herself and producing partner Annette Savitch. "But I think something that definitely appeals to us, just because of the lack of it, is strong female comedies, and also female friendship movies � unlike 'Black Swan' where they're ripping each other's hair out � where girls are funny, supportive friends for each other."

Portman dabbles in on-screen female friendship in "No Strings Attached." She plays Emma Kurtzman, a doctor for whom love is like a nasty rash: irritating, painful and best avoided. Meanwhile, her colleagues (played by Greta Gerwig and Mindy Kaling) want boyfriends and lament the lack of good guys out there. They support Emma as she enters a sex-only relationship with Adam (Ashton Kutcher), zinging one-liners and cracking wise throughout.

It's the rare romantic comedy where women get laughs, Portman says.

"I had been looking for a funny female character for a long time," she says. "I feel like in romantic comedies often it's just the girl who gets to kind of wear cute clothes and wants to get married at the end, which is always fun to watch but it's not necessarily a challenge or exciting to do."

Director Ivan Reitman says Portman found the script on her own and asked for the part. He recalls being surprised at her interest, then met with her.

"I realized as I was talking to her: Oh, this is the girl," he says. "She is as smart as this character is, because she needs to be that intelligent, but more than that, she has the strength that this girl has, and she has the complexity to portray somebody that is a little bit messed up."

The role called for Portman to be saucy, sexy and even drunk in one scene. Her character is bold, confident and sexually self-assured � the complete opposite of her award-winning "Black Swan" character, who is repressed, girlish and afraid.

The back-to-back contrasting roles was "one of those sort of accidents," the actress says.

"I'd been with 'Black Swan' for 10 years before it got made, and I'd been with this movie for like three years before it got made, and it just happened to get financing in the same period," she says. "But it's always welcome to completely shed a character and do something very, very different."

She'll be seen in two more very different roles this year. She plays a warrior opposite Danny McBride and James Franco in the comedy-adventure "Your Highness," and a human friend of a Norse god in Marvel Studios' anticipated "Thor."

Portman might be promoting her movies through most of her pregnancy.

"The thing that's great is that I'm really proud of all the movies. I'm really excited about every single one," she says. "I don't think it's great that they're like all in this time period. I wish they were more spaced out, but I don't really have control over that. But at least people won't see my face for awhile afterwards."

For now, though, expect Portman aplenty in what's becoming Natalie's big year.

Celebrities Jewelry - Overdose Edition 2011

I know that you've got the chills and the sweats. You probably can't sleep, and you may be experiencing anxiety and nervousness. This is your body going through withdrawls. No worries my Cityrockajewelry.com Blog readers. I've got the Celebrities Jewelry fix that you've been yearning for. I know that it's a new year, and that you've got to have you some like no other blog can supply..... Go on, scroll on down and hit it, but you've just got to stop showing up at my job like this.....

So welcome to 2011. Here are some fashion jewelry looks that either caught my eyes---or crossed them.


??????

I like it a lot. Squared bangles is a hot new trend to look out for because it's unexpected and modern. Karissa Shannon stacked up some style points with me for sure with these diamond bracelets.

?

Rihanna hopped on the trend too a little while back. It looks great paired with her new award though, don't you think?

?

Whitney Port's Bronzed Statement Necklace is just Gorg. You can wear something like this with anything and still get away with it....a jewelry heist maybe? I'm kidding.

If only this silver spiked statement necklace was smaller in size... I do love this on Ms. Donna Karan though. I said it before, and I'll say it again. Spikes are in.

Only Nicki Minaj can get a pass for wearing this multi-strand beaded statement necklace. It's just right for her onstage, and very over the top image.

Are you writing this down? Take notes when you see Olivia Palermo accessorizing. Layer  your beaded necklaces with gems. Stat.

This  jewelry type is going to be a gigantic deal for 2011 peoples. Earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets. It's Geode jewelry; and it's all about the jagged gemstone or rock (real or faux) appeal. 

Even Jenni J-Woww from the Jersey Shore is up on it. You go girl.  The boobage is covered and she's showing off accessories these days. Who says that having money can't be life-changing?

Aww...look at Pink. She's preggers and glowing and her pink  diamond chandelier earrings are the truth.

I'm all for fun jewelry pieces, but not when it borders on it being able to be used as a weapon. Maria Menounos with her cocktail ring? Nope. On to the next one.

Posted this just for my sheer amusement.

Blake Lively brings us an early hint of spring with her turquoise drop earrings and bangle bracelets, but I'm not a fan of this look with her purple suede laser cut dress. This is iffyy...I hope that  Vogue's Anna Wintour doesn't revoke your style card Blake.....

Award season contenders flock to Palm Springs gala

The road to Oscar brought a blast of expected contenders to this desert town some 100 miles east of Hollywood as the Palm Springs International Film Festival held its annual awards gala.

Among those attending the Saturday night affair was James Franco, a likely Academy Award nominee for the drama "127 Hours" and also co-host along with Anne Hathaway of the Feb. 27 Oscar telecast.

"Yeah, it's weird," said Franco, who does some of his studies at Warren Wilson College in Asheville, N.C.. "Yesterday, I was in North Carolina and it was snowing. And I flew out at 9 p.m. and landed at about 1 a.m. in L.A.. And then I met with Anne Hathaway and did some preparation for the Oscars. And now here I am in Palm Springs. And then I'm going to go back to the snows of North Carolina and study poetry. I'm sure I'm developing a split personality. But at least it's in two worlds that I still love."

Franco was in town to present his "127 Hours" director Danny Boyle with the Sonny Bono Visionary Award, named after Palm Springs' late mayor, who spearheaded creation of the festival 22 years ago. Only recently, however, has the fest's gala become an award-circuit staple.

"It's obviously a legendary festival," said Colin Firth, who received the Desert Palm Achievement Actor Award for his work in "The King's Speech." "I've never been here," he continued. "So, it's quite a debut for me."

Javier Bardem was honored with the fest's International Star Award for his work in "Biutiful." "I don't know what it ("International Star") means," Bardem chuckled. "It guess it means I don't speak English."

Ben Affleck, who co-wrote, directed and starred in "The Town," admitted he, too, was also a bit baffled by his Palm Springs honor. "They told me I was going to get the Chairman's Award. I thought it was, like, the award for the people who loot the company, and everybody goes broke," Affleck joked.

The cast of "The Social Network" was given the Ensemble Performance Award and, as they have since the film's premiere last fall, the cast walked the red carpet together. "I think the fact that we all have each other means a great deal," said Andrew Garfield, walking the media gauntlet with co-stars Jesse Eisenberg and Armie Hammer.

"These events are a great honor," Garfield continued. "But they're also nerve wracking. It's incredibly intimidating to be in front of a wall of lights for even a minute. It's a strange thing on the senses. So, the fact that I get to be here (with his co-stars and director), it is like a nice little traveling family theater group."

Desert Palm actress winner Natalie Portman's small baby bump could be seen through her long-sleeved beige and black Vionne cocktail dress. Award season may actually prove a good thing for her pregnancy. "Actually, I feel very calm," Portman explained. "I feel so lucky and happy. I'm very grateful to have my personal life be in such a lucky place right now."

"Winter's Bone" star Jennifer Lawrence was given the night's Rising Star Award. "I'm looking around and, like, really appreciating," she said. "I mean, I just saw Robert Duvall ("Get Low") five minutes ago and I was like, 'Everybody needs to stop and appreciate that we're looking at Robert Duvall, just for a minute."

Duvall, who turned 80 last week, picked up the Career Achievement Award, and said one of the secrets to his endurance has been "hanging out with young people . . . Sometimes I'd rather work with the first-time director than the guy who has done it 50 times."

The 22nd Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival continues through Jan. 17.

The Truth About Christian Siriano's Jewelry Line 2011

Christian Sirano Photo

It's Big. It's Boldacious, and it's rooted in turquoise,brown, silver, gold, and ivory hues. Metals are mixed and textures are both rough and smoothed.Siriano's pieces definitely evoke the strong ethnic African,Indian and Chinese influences that he was going for. The fashion jewelry feel is totally tribal, and it's ritualistic in a way that could have you slipping on any one of his collection pieces, posing in front of your bathroom mirror, again, and again, and again.

This 2011collection undoubtedly, seems to mirror Project Runway's own, Christin Sirano's, spiky-haired creative, but quirky image. You're compelled to look at it, simply because it's not something that you see every day. This isn't by any means a diss. In fact, it speaks ear-shrieking volumes about having the courage to be different, in essence, creating your own lane. If you want to blend in with the crowd this line is surely not for you. Now I could rock his stuff anywhere, anytime. Holler at your girl Christian.....

Check out a few of his pieces.....

You can view and purchase Christian Siriano's complete jewelry here. And to see a  video preview of his line where he speaks on what inspired his creations go here. (A special thanks goes to the folks over at N3 Magazine for the video footage).

A History Of Women Lil Wayne Has Slept With

Weezy loves the ladies. He�s already told you he wants to fornicate with every girl in the world�if they�re light-skinned. But is that true?Let�s take a look at the most infamous cakes Lil Wayne has chopped down

Toya - This is Wayne�s earliest (and darkest) lover. She also seems to be the one he was the most serious about. Their love birthed Weezy�s first daughter, Reginae, and the two were even engaged at one point. If Wayne has a skin preference, it must have come later.

Nivea - Nivea and Weezy also had a pretty serious love affair for a while until she went absolutely crazy. Since they�ve broken up, Nivea has seemed to fall off the face of the earth.

Trina � Wayne once rapped �I got a 305 dime I wanted ever since I seen her� in reference to his Miami ex-girlfriend. They had a cute little love until Wayne moved on and Trina went on to put her naked pictures all over the net.

Superhead - Wayne wants to bang every girl on the planet and Superhead wants to suck every tubular object on the globe. That�s a whole lot of germs floating around that bedroom.

Lauren London - We have no clue how cute, little innocent New-New got tied up with bad boy Wayne. But it happened and she got knocked up from it. Don�t worry, fellas, her body came back fine as ever.

Sarah Bellew - This random groupie hit the jackpot. She was in school but she can drop out now collecting child support that will make her rich for a long time. Who needs a job? Notice that these ladies have gotten lighter and lighter in complexion?

Tammy Torres - Mrs. Officer may be light, but she�s as thick as they come. If you�ve heard Lil Wayne�s new single, �6�7?�, you�ll know that they are no longer an item. That�s good news for you guys out there.

Shanell - Wayne�s Young Money jump off was his last slice of cake he had before going to jail. We�re not sure if he�s hit it since, especially after the rumors flew that Drake also got a piece.

A Million Random Groupies - Who knows who else Wayne has banged over his years traveling the world. We don�t know what kind of skin color they have, but we�d like to wager that the guy that wants to have sex with so many women doesn�t turn down a chopperation that often.

Happy New Year my Cityrocka Readers! I Hope that this new year brings you nothing but love, wealth,  strong health and good times. Okay, so let's talk Celebrity Jewelry Gossip. After all, I know that's what brought you here.

This must be some kind of trend..... this celebrity jewelry theft thing is suddenly off the chain. Pun intended. Paula Deen (see my previous post below), Paris Hilton got jacked for her jewelry , and now I find out that somebody was stupid enough to stick Cleo, from the Set It Off movie, a.k.a. Queen Latifah, up for her Jew-els? Are they freakin' crazy?  Gots to be. They were able to get away with $10,000 worth of her jewelry, which was jacked from her luxury hotel suite in Tobago. And when I say luxury suite, I mean luxurious as in $1000 per night to stay there. For that kind of money they should be leaving diamonds on Latifah's pillows instead of chocolate mints. I'm sure Latifah has insurance to cover her losses, but the thieves just better make sure that she isn't up for getting some street justice, sitting in a chair somewhere getting her hair corn-rowed....

Here's the Ball She was in. Notice the red cup?

So....I'm only posting this because I have to. I mean that I really have to. As a journalist, I know that it is my duty to deliver the jewelry scoop in an unbiased and professional manner to you.... Here's my best attempt at doing so.  Snooki of The Jersey Shore fame has partnered up with Diamiondshark.com to sell the Snooki Party Ball Limited Edition Pendant. Yep. Remember when she rode inside the gigantic caged ball of lights  in Seaside Heights, NJ?  Well she had one of the necklaces on then.  The pendant piece has a carat's worth of pink sapphires inlaid into it. It's rhodium plated, sterling silver and dangles from an 18" chain. It can be all your for only $49 bucks. Hey, that means you can slip it on, get wasted, and start fist-pumping too.

UGG Australia Women's Classic Short Boots Footwear

I have many pairs of the UGG "Classic" boots, both in the short and tall height.
These boots are absolutely "the best" for warmth and I live In Canada, so I know about cold and snow!
HOWEVER, Please order ONE SIZE SMALLER than you usually wear because this style runs LARGE!
I wear an 8.5B or a 9B in other boots and shoes but the 8B is a PERFECT fit for for me in this style of UGG boot.

CAUTIONH This advice ONLY pertains to this particular style of UGG boot. Some other styles, like the Bailey, run smaller, for those, you need to order one size larger!
Hope thas helpful and not too confusing!
