  • Demi Moore Reportedly Upset With Rumer

    Demi Moore is experiencing some changes in her life as it goes on after Ashton.

    The aging mother of three was spotted out and about sporting some grey roots, which can only be intentional.

    She can afford a touch up more than most, right?

    Demi Moore could be ready to embrace her age (51) and do it with grace.

    The rumored plastic surgery poster child reportedly lectures her own daughters, Scout, 23, Tallulah, 20, and Rumer, 26, on the dangers of plastic surgery.

    Apparently this happens on a regular basis with Demi Moore.

    According to Radar, a source close to the family said, “Demi thinks all her daughters are naturally beautiful. She’s worried that Rumer and her sisters feel pressure to chase an unrealistic Hollywood physical ideal.”

    The whole thing reportedly started over some selfies that Rumer, who has a famously large chin, posted on Instagram. They show kind of a different face than we, and Demi Moore, are used to.

    Did she just grow into that chin? Some say probably not.

    Plastic surgeon Dr. Youn, who hasn’t treated Rumer, said, “It appears that the increase in size of Rumer’s lips has overshadowed her prominent chin. I suspect that Rumer’s had quite a few injections of filler into her lips, such as Juvederm.”

    Demi Moore has been rumored to have undergone the knife numerous times for breast implants, a breast reduction, a brow lift, liposuction, butt and thigh implants and collagen lip injections.

    However, Moore denies all of these allegations and appears ready to embrace her 50s. She seems to have even come to terms with her split from Ashton Kutcher.

    The experienced mom in Demi Moore has shown her face as she reportedly “has offered to help in any way that she can with the baby and with Mila,” a source close to Moore told Radar.

    “She ultimately has great love for Ashton and has accepted the fact that he is in love Mila and that they are starting a family.”

    The source added, “Things have settled down a lot, and she wants to be there for Ashton’s family.”

    What do you think? Do you think Rumer had surgery?

    Also, is it a little weird for Demi Moore to offer to help with little Wyatt Isabelle?

  • Hybrid Cars In 2015 From Cadillac And Chrysler

    Hybrid cars will be a big deal in 2015 as the market grows and expands for consumers who wish to be more environmentally conscious, but don’t want to drive tiny cars.

    For example 2015 will see the premiere of the Chrysler Town & Country plug-in hybrid electric minivan.

    The plug-in hybrid car concept for a minivan was intended to roll out in 2009, but was scrapped when Fiat took over a troubled Chrysler.

    Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne helped engineer Chrysler Group LLC’s rescue from insolvency in 2009 and has now expressed his enthusiasm for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) at the Paris Motor Show this week.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqjUpeuLcSE

    The new Chrysler Town & Country plug-in hybrid electric minivan would be the first mass-production minivan able to travel for short distances on electric-only power before the gasoline engine kicks in. The original 2008 concept was all-electric.

    Town & Country PHEV would get the equivalent of 75 miles to the gallon.

    Wow! That’s pretty fantastic for a car that doesn’t feel like a toy.

    In addition to the budget conscious family hybrid car, there will also be a new luxury Cadillac hybrid car.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgaGqP2A0ZM

    The CT6, as it is presumed to be called, will be a larger rear-wheel-drive sedan and will include a plug-in hybrid model. The hybrid car will be supplementing what are assumed to be V-6 and V-8 gasoline variants.

    The Cadillac CT6 plug-in hybrid car will compete with the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid car and the new 2016 Mercedes-Benz S550 Plug-In Hybrid car that recently went on sale in Germany.

    Tough decision if you’re in the market for a luxury hybrid car that will also be more environmentally friendly (or gas budget friendly).

    However, if you have a family in tow and are ready to make the switch, the new Town and Country looks really great!

    What do you think about the new line-up of hybrid cars for 2015?

  • “X-Men: Apocalypse” Focus Is On Mystique, The Beast

    X-Men: Apocalypse won’t be released until May of 2016, but die hard fans are already starting to get excited as speculation ramps up about the latest X-Men installment.

    The third movie in the X-Men trilogy is highly anticipated after the immense success of X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: The Last Stand. Days of Future Past grossed over $746 million at the box office, making it the most successful X-Men movie yet.

    Days of Future Past writer and producer Simon Kinberg recently revealed some juicy details of X-Men: Apocalypse to Collider.

    Kinberg said that X-Men: Apocalypse is, indeed, the last of the series.

    He also revealed that Jennifer Lawrence‘s Mystique will be at the center of the plot, which will be set in the 1980s.

    As for the story behind X-Men: Apocalypse, he says,

    “I will say that [X-Men: Apocalypse] is definitely the close of a trilogy for those First Class characters, which isn’t to say we won’t see them in future movies, hopefully we will, but it’s a completion of an arc for them. I think that the friendship between Erik and Charles, which has always been so integral to the franchise, is something we’re continuing to explore and hopefully deepen with Apocalypse.”

    He continued, “And the relationship between Beast and Mystique is a really interesting one that we didn’t have a lot of time to explore in Days of Future Past, so we’ll have an opportunity to do more of that in Apocalypse.”

    In the X-Men films, First Class can be seen as Erik Lehnsherr’s (aka Magneto) story and Days of Future Past can be seen as Charles Xavier’s (aka Professor X) story.

    Kinberg said that he couldn’t reveal too much about the full plot at this early stage, but did say that the influence both Erik and Charles had on Mystique will be a major feature in X-Men: Apocalypse.

    “Part of what’s really interesting about Mystique’s character is that she is, in some ways, the child of both Erik and Charles. She grew up with Charles and then she sort of became a woman with Erik, so her being the cross-pollination, if you will, of those two philosophies and those two men is something we can explore in the movie too.”

    So exciting! What are you hoping to see in X-Men: Apocalypse?

  • Jessica Chastain Was Bullied As A Kid

    Jessica Chastain Was Bullied As A Kid

    Jessica Chastain opened up in a recent interview with Glamour about why she feels so strongly about bullying and body-shaming.

    The red-headed beauty, who is all the rage in Hollywood right now, wasn’t always super popular.

    Jessica Chastain said of her childhood,

    “I remember being 8 years old. I was a late bloomer. I had very, very short red hair. Very freckly. And thank God there wasn’t the Internet, because I was told every day at school that I was ugly. And that no one wanted to be my friend. The most cruel things.”

    Chastain continued, “And now these girls or boys are having to deal with that in their school and on a world platform. If I can do anything to help young girls and to be a cheerleader for people who sometimes have low self-esteem, I want to do that.”

    So happy to be on @El_Hormiguero with the wonderful and funny @PabloMotosBlog A3TV tonight #ChastainEH #ladesapariciondeeleanorrigby

    Jessica Chastain says one of the biggest problems that kids deal with today is body-shaming and bullying on social media. With the mask of anonymity offered by the internet, kids can be so incredibly cruel to each other.

    “Oh God, it’s the worst. Enough with the body-shaming! What is going on in this world?” she said.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBLPrBX-iCw

    Jessica Chastain is also very supportive of her female colleagues in Hollywood. In fact, she would like to see more of them around.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pVZ8KD6CYU

    “I’m really, really supportive of women in Hollywood. I love Meryl Streep. She’s such an incredible actress. But I feel like she’s the only one in her age group who gets those parts,” Jessica Chastain says.

    She continued, “Why isn’t Viola Davis a lead in a film? She’s one of the greatest actresses alive. And where are the Asian actors and actresses? I’m not saying, ‘We don’t want movies about men.’ I’m just saying, ‘Come on, all the men I know love women. So let’s also have some stories about these women. Let’s write something for them, guys—and let’s make room for women writers, too.’”

    Hopefully Jessica Chastain can raise her voice for kids with low self-esteem and women and inspire them to not be discouraged in whatever they are doing in life.

  • School Shooting Leaves 17-Year-Old Dead

    School Shooting Leaves 17-Year-Old Dead

    A school shooting ended in the death of 17-year-old Kris Hunter Friday night in Fulton county, Georgia.

    The teen was attending an alternative school and friends say they were enjoying a reunion of sorts, as well as the homecoming football game of Langston Hughes high school.

    After the game, Hunter was gunned down in the parking lot.

    Though there has been reported speculation of Hunter’s involvement in a gang, and his killing being an act of revenge, his friends say it’s not so.

    However, other kids say that the killers have been bragging about the shooting on social media.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3TgLDFBom4

    “You can’t even come to a football game and just watch it any more. You have to worry about somebody getting shot,” Khyra Perry said.

    She added, “I’ve been really lost for words trying to keep myself together all day.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD2ol-1Rp9Q

    Police were called to a shooting in the school’s parking lot at around 10 p.m. They found Hunter still alive, but barely.

    He died at Grady Memorial Hospital at 12:30 am.

    Friends say that, despite the negative attention on social media, Kris Hunter will be remembered as a great kid.

    “Kris was a great person, a loving person. He never hurt anybody,” Perry said.

    “Everybody is going to remember about him his smile. He had the perfect smile.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFMbpLdzFKI

    So far, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and police are working together, but there has not been a suspect or a vehicle description released.

    This shooting came just on the heels of another shooting on Tuesday that caused injury to 16-year-old Bernard Miller at Albemarle High School in North Carolina.

    Students returned on Wednesday with extra security lining the halls.

    “It was different. It wasn’t loud like it normally is. It was like a sad feeling, depressing almost,” student Tierra Williams said.

    Hopefully the kids and families affected by these violent acts will find peace soon.

  • Amanda Bynes Reportedly Exhibits Weirdness at LAX, New York

    Amanda Bynes is back in the spotlight and has the world reaching for the popcorn and waiting to see just what she’ll do next.

    The troubled former child star has had a rough week.

    Earlier this week, Bynes was arrested for DUI in Los Angeles after police noticed her driving erratically.

    “Amanda was displaying symptoms that led us to believe she may have been under the influence of a stimulant,” a CHP spokesperson told E! News shortly after the arrest.

    “It possibly could be a combination of a stimulant and other drugs. We do not know.”

    She was released on $15,000 bail. Amanda Bynes was then spotted at LAX on her way to New York.

    The 28-year-old was acting strangely at Gladstone’s restaurant in the terminal.

    The source said, “She sat down at a booth, which is normally reserved for groups. They let her stay at the booth because she was Amanda Bynes and they knew her history. She asked for extra napkins before she even placed an order.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Knzeb5gOo

    “Amanda was at the table by herself with all her makeup spread out across the table. She was talking to herself and putting on a ton of makeup. She would apply some, look in her compact and make weird pouty faces and they say to herself, ‘Ok, that looks fine,’” the source continued.

    Apparently, Amanda Bynes seemed sober and completely reasonable when having conversations with the staff, but when left alone, it was a whole different story.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8ZWuixtX24

    The source continued, “Amanda said she was heading home to New York because she had an apartment there. She didn’t seem like she was on drugs or anything, because she talked very normal. But her mannerisms told a different story. She was really fidgety and really sloppy in the way she ate her food.”

    “She was only there for 20 minutes,” the eyewitness added of Amanda Bynes’ weird meal. She reportedly only ordered “a Shirley Temple and coconut shrimp.”

    “When she got up to leave, she practically bolted out of there. She had a really weird gait to her, she was power walking with posture like a pregnant woman. It was bizarre.”

    That does sound really bizzare. But wait, it doesn’t end there!

    Shortly after that incident, Amanda Bynes was spotted walking the streets of New York all alone. Well, except for the company of the lone band-aid on her cheek.

    Poor Amanda Bynes. Will she ever get her life together?

  • Security Cameras Installed After Alleged Assaults

    Security cameras will be installed on school buses in Durham, South Carolina after two students, including a five-year-old, were allegedly sexually assaulted on a bus.

    Extra security was called for when the two students reported what had taken place.

    Marie Lang, the attorney representing a victim from the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, said, “It’s concerning, not only to parents, but to the whole community. We are trying to find out is what happened and why this incident was allowed to occur.”

    Lang also encouraged other families to come forward if their kids reported any similar activities.

    “Sharing painful experiences is difficult … but it is a necessary part of holding individuals and institutions accountable and maintaining the bonds of trust that our community depends on,” Lang said.

    The school system, along with the community, has insisted that precautions need to be taken to protect the students who ride the bus.

    Superintendent Bert L’Homme said on Thursday, “It is no longer acceptable for any bus to go without this added layer of security. We are carefully determining which students were involved and what truly happened.”

    Thus far, students involved are yet to be punished, but L’Homme says they want to be absolutely sure they correctly identify those involved. This would be a process that would have gone a lot smoother had they had the help of cameras on the bus.

    L’Homme also announced that there will now be monitors that ride on buses wherein such incidents have been reported. One has already been placed on the bus where these alleged incidents took place.

    What do you think? If your children were in this school district, would these precautions be enough to make you feel safe about your kids riding the bus?

  • Jennifer Garner On Parenthood And Lice

    Jennifer Garner knows one thing better than acting. That is the struggle to be a good parent.

    Garner is married to Ben Affleck and the pair have three kids that they are raising.

    Just like the rest of us, this celebrity couple has the pleasure of dealing with the ordinary, and sometimes cringe-worthy, details of parenthood.

    Jennifer Garner shared a hilariously (kind of) normal story with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday about their entire family having to undergo treatment for Lice.

    As she was speaking to Fallon on the pitfalls of parenting she said,

    “You could come home and get The Call from school. You could get The Call. It is coming your way! The Call is, ‘Hi, Mr. Fallon. Um, this happens a lot, so don’t freak out, but if you could come pick up Winnie. Your daughter has a very treatable case of lice.’”

    Jennifer Garner then explained what her family had to go through.

    “They have people like the Lice Lady, and they come over and they comb painstakingly through your hair, and then they put something on your hair…It looks like the put Crisco in your hair but you smell a little bit like a mixture of sulfur and rosemary,” Garner explained.

    She added, “And you do it everyday for a month!”

    Here comes the not-so-normal part of the story. The part where she has a casual discussion with George Clooney while she smells like sulfur and rosemary.

    “We show up and the first person I see is George Clooney, and I’d never met George Clooney. I was kind of like, ‘Ah, he’s so handsome! Like, oh, my God!’ So, I see him and I walk up to him and I’m chatting with him, just trying to act like it’s cool…and I can see that he smells me, you know? But he’s trying to be polite.”

    Jennifer Garner is pretty sure that’s why The Afflecks weren’t invited to his Italian wedding.

    “So, anyway, people keep asking why we weren’t at George’s wedding and we were both ‘working’ but I think he didn’t want Licey there,” Garner joked. “He’s like, ‘No, we don’t need the Afflecks. We’re OK!’”

    So funny! Such a great, (sort of) normal story from the life of Jennifer Garner.

  • Catherine Zeta-Jones Lands Violent New Role

    Catherine Zeta-Jones has been handed a new role, and it should be quite interesting.

    She will be portraying real-life drug lord Griselda Blanco in the upcoming true crime biopic, The Godmother.

    Catherine Zeta-Jones was fantastic as a drug lord’s ruthless wife in Traffic back in 2000.

    But this time, she gets to play the first and only woman to ever rise to the rank of Colombian drug lord.

    Griselda Blanco has a fascinating life story that will surely make a riveting biopic.

    She was born in Cartagena, Colombia and soon grew up to become a runaway and teenage prostitute. She then emigrated to New York to start a thriving cocaine business in league with her husband.

    After facing drug charges, she fled back to her home country of Colombia, but reappeared in Miami just in time to establish a drug network that connected New York, Miami, LA, and Colombia.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8bDQau1iAU

    Her prolific drug activities made her a multi-millionaire in her forties. She reportedly ordered the killing of hundreds to remain in power, which earned her the nickname La Madrina, or Black Widow.

    She was also known as the Cocaine Godmother.

    She was arrested in 1985 and served 18 years in prison. She was released in 2004 and returned to Colombia. It was there that the mother of four was shot and killed in a drive-by assasination.

    Catherine Zeta-Jones has some pretty violent shoes to fill, but after some of her tougher roles, perhaps she can handle it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjQ_C9qrPT8

    The Godmother, which stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, was written into screenplay by Frank Baldwin and will be Directed by Eva Sørhaug of 90 Minutes and Cold Lunch fame.

    Catherine Zeta-Jones will begin filming for The Godmother early next year.

    What an exciting, and different, project for Zeta-Jones!

    What do you think? Is Catherine Zeta-Jones tough enough to make a good drug lord?

  • Isla Fisher Expecting Baby #3 With Sacha Baron Cohen

    Isla Fisher and husband Sacha Baron Cohen are expecting their third child together.

    The Great Gatsby star and her husband, of Borat fame, are already parents to Elula, who is four, and Olive, who will be seven this month.

    Isla Fisher, 38, and Sacha Baron Cohen, 42, were married in Paris in 2010 and have enjoyed being parents to their two girls.

    “I took three years off,” Fisher said of life as a mom. “It’s not like you’re taking a break and looking on IMDbPro to see your StarMeter falling. You’re doing the most important, incredible thing.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tIX5GAd80M

    “When you come back in, the perspective has changed. I truly believe you can’t have it all and you shouldn’t want to.”

    She added, “In [the kids’ book] Pinkalicious the mum goes, ‘You get what you get and you don’t get upset.’ It’s written for toddlers, but I just love that expression. It’s kind of my catchphrase when it comes to the business.”

    Everyone should live by that motto.

    She said of motherhood in 2013, “It’s a myth that you can have it all. You can’t. But, more importantly, I don’t think you should want to. It sounds exhausting!”

    When she started working again after becoming a mother, it didn’t all come up roses. She found it difficult to wear two hats and be effective at both.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PkDjWuaw90

    “I’m just dipping my toe back into work now. It’s a juggling act and I’m not particularly good at it; the balls are in the air. But my priority is always my family. Motherhood boils everything down to the essentials.”

    Time will tell how even that will change when juggling work with three kids!

    Congratulations to Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen on their latest collaboration!

  • Alyssa Milano Chooses Family Over Career

    Alyssa Milano has left her show Mistresses.

    The show, which she has been with for two seasons, will go on to its third season without Savannah.

    Savi, as she is known, may be written off or Alyssa Milano might be replaced with a different actress.

    Whatever the case, the show is going to go through some changes.

    But it will be worth it for Alyssa Milano, who has decided that the well-being of her family is worth giving up the show for.

    In a statement, she reveals,

    “After two wonderful seasons in Los Angeles, the studio has decided to shoot season three of Mistresses in Vancouver, Canada, for financial reasons. It’s with a heavy heart that I have decided that I can’t relocate,” she wrote on her website.

    Milano added, “I have two babies under four. Being a mother and wife comes first and I just can not uproot my children and separate the family by moving away.”

    “I will miss this job desperately and wish everyone the absolute best,” she said.

    Alyssa Milano gave birth to her second child, a baby girl named Elizabella Dylan, earlier this month. Her and her husband are also parents to three-year-old Milo Thomas.

    It really would be understandably hard to pick up and move her family.

    Good luck to Alyssa Milano as she takes on a greater role at home!

  • Tori Spelling Pregnant With Baby Number Five?

    Tori Spelling might be pregnant, according to a promo video.

    The girl has had a rough time lately.

    The mother of four is continuing her show, True Tori, into its second season later this month.

    The show is billed as Tori Spelling’s search for happiness and honesty.

    However, it appears that she has found neither if the promo video is an accurate portrayal of the everyday goings-on in her life these days.

    Of course, Tori and husband Dean McDermott are trying to put life back together after McDermott cheated on her last year. That seems to be what the drama will be centered around this season.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSxYQZ4i9SY

    Tori Spelling announces at the beginning of the promo that Dean has returned from Canada, and the couple has gone back into their “reality”.

    Their reality isn’t looking great. During the promo, the couple has a fight in the kitchen over why Tori is still with Dean after all he has put her through for the last eight years.

    During that scene, Tori can be heard saying, “I’m sick of arguing.”

    Then, at a therapy session, Tori says she wants to see a picture of the woman Dean cheated on her with.

    Don’t we all?

    Then at the end, Tori Spelling drops the bombshell by saying,

    “Oh, and there’s one more thing. I might be pregnant.”

    Well, that’s news, but not that shocking.

    After all, the world has been watching her belly grow and shrink for the last seven years.

    This announcement seems to contrast with photos that recently showed Tori Spelling looking the opposite of pregnant during filming for her show.

    Critics say she looks gaunt and too skinny in the photos. She wears a billowy top and baggy shorts, but spectators said that when the wind blew, it showed an apparently under-nourished frame.

    If that is the case, she needs to get healthy, but maybe it’s just all the stress in her marriage catching up.

    If Tori Spelling is pregnant, can she and Dean McDermott get it together for their family and the new baby?

  • Health Insurance Plans About To See Major Shift

    Health insurance plans have been disappearing with the enforcement of standards set up by The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

    For example, in New Mexico about 30,000 people are going to have to find new health insurance plans before January 1st or risk going uncovered.

    Blue Cross Blue Shield sent letters out to many people from the area, including 13,000 who had supposedly been grandfathered in with the “if you like your plan, you can keep your plan” promise, stating that their plan doesn’t meet the standards of the ACA and that they will have to get a new one.

    According to Janice Torrez, vice president of external affairs and chief of staff at Blue Cross, the carrier is “moving our (affected) members toward selecting other plans.”

    She continued, “There are so many plans available that I believe that members are going to find something that’s going to fit their needs.”

    Hopefully that is the case, but many are worried that they are giving up plans that fit their needs and budget for more expensive health insurance plans with Obamacare that have coverage they don’t think they’ll need.

    However, New Mexico Insurance Superintendent John Franchini thinks that all New Mexicans should be able to find a health insurance plan on the Exchange that’s right for them.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc6ulrAUaFk

    “We got together and said, ‘This would be the right time to make sure all the citizens in the state who had a plan that wasn’t ACA-compliant would have the opportunity to convert to one’,” he said. “I look at this as a positive thing, not as a negative.”

    Those who are worried about the cost could probably qualify for the federal subsidies. The Kaiser Family Foundation said that 83% of exchange enrollees in 2014 qualified for some form of federal subsidy or another.

    Would these subsidies be of comfort to you if your perfectly good health insurance plan was about to disappear?

  • Sadie Robertson Does “Dancing” Modestly

    Sadie Robertson has been one of the most interesting Dancing with the Stars contestants to watch this season.

    Her outfits are, so far, surprisingly modest and beautiful and her performances are really great.

    Her performance this week with Mark Ballas was a sweet waltz to “Married Life” from the movie Up. You know, the song you cried all the way through as it showcased the life of Carl and Ellie?

    Her costume was an adorable yellow vintage dress and was perfect for the part.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P1JOC6ASs8

    Their performance was lovely and ended with Sadie Robertson floating away on the movie’s signature mass of balloons. The judges were won over and Robertson and Ballas earned an admirable score of 32.

    “So far tonight, that was my favorite dance,” said Carrie Ann Inaba.

    Bruno Tolioni said, “Totally and utterly charmed.”

    The dress was most likely daddy-approved by the 17-year-old’s father and Duck Dynasty star, Willie Robertson.

    Sadie Robertson and her dad have a long, and hilarious, history when it comes to what Sadie wears.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1_6SPts0Qc

    It was likely incidents like this that inspired Sadie Robertson to design her own line of modest prom dresses, even though the school she attended at the time didn’t allow dancing and did banquets instead.

    Of course, you still need a formal for a banquet.

    Sadie Robertson’s costume for this week’s Dancing with the Stars was even more modest than last week’s country outfit.

    But, as Ballas said, “It was definitely a little edgier, you can’t be soft and sweet every week.”

    Besides, it must have had the approval of the notoriously conservative family.

    “My mom said I did a great job and hugged me, so they’re proud of it,” Sadie Robertson said.

    What do you think of Sadie Robertson’s daddy-approved costumes?

  • Cadillac Names Will Become Alpha-Numeric

    Cadillac Names Will Become Alpha-Numeric

    New Cadillac names might make it more confusing to shop for a Cadillac in the near future.

    Like many other car brands, Cadillac has decided to climb onboard the alpha-numeric naming structure. For example, the Eldorado that we have seen for years will now be reimagined in 2015 as the new CT6.

    This new model will be the flagship for new Cadillac names and will be on display at the New York Auto Show in April and available for purchase in late 2015.

    The letters and numbers signify the model’s position in the pecking order of Cadillacs. The letters indicate the model and the numbers indicate size and position in the line-up.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JibTKXMqCfM

    There is a method to the madness of tossing out Cadillac names in favor of alpha-numeric model labels.

    Uwe Ellinghaus, Cadillac chief marketing officer, explains, “As we expand the portfolio, we can assist consumers in placing the cars within a structure, as they compare cars both within our showroom and across the market generally.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Op0S4cS2F4

    He continued, “However, this will be an evolutionary process – we will only change a product’s name when the product itself is redesigned or an all-new model is created, as in this instance.”

    So, there will be some Cadillac names remaining for a while, at least until they are re-imagined by Cadillac designers.

    The movement to the letter-number combos instead of Cadillac names is said to be spurred by former Audi and Infiniti executive Johan de Nysschen. He began with renaming Infinity to its current Q and QX models back in 2012.

    Johan de Nysschen also happens to be the new head of Cadillac.

    What do you think? If you are going to be in the market for a car soon, does the switch from Cadillac names to a letter-number combo make it harder for you to shop for them?

  • Fall Cruises Offer Alternative To Land Tours

    Fall cruises for foliage in the northeast are growing more and more popular each year.

    The foliage is like no other place in the nation, and more people are paying to cruise the rivers and oceans to peep leaves instead of braving the crowded roads and inns on land.

    A fall cruise is a great way to relax and enjoy the show without some of the headaches that go along with a tour on land.

    Generally, departure points include Boston, New York, Cape Liberty, and Baltimore. Fall cruises then head north to Quebec City or Montreal, making stops in places like Bar Harbor, Maine, Newport, Rhode Island, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia.

    Such a beautiful show in the fall!

    People from all over the country and the world travel to enjoy fall cruises along the eastern seaboard.

    Jean Mallory of White Travel in West Hartford, Conn. said, “These cruises draw people from across the country.”

    She continued, “People living in the Northeast like them because they can drive to departure points without having to fly somewhere. People living outside of the Northeast come because you just don’t see foliage like this anywhere else and cruising is such a great way to experience it.”

    The fall cruise itineraries offer a very different experience than your general Caribbean or island cruise. Erik Elvejord, director of public relations for Holland America Lines, explains,

    “These cruises offer a very diverse mix of ports. Quebec has a very European feel, Halifax is very British, Prince Edward Island is so quaint, so Anne of Green Gables. Passengers get a European experience without leaving North America.”

    Fall cruises are becoming so popular that many major cruise lines, like Royal Caribbean and Holland America, now offer a fall cruise itinerary.

    Is a fall cruise on your bucket list?

  • Juliette Lewis Has Controversial New Role

    Juliette Lewis Has Controversial New Role

    Juliette Lewis is making a comeback with a new movie!

    Kelly & Cal is about a 30-something woman who is an ex-rocker and is now trapped in the drudgery of suburbia with a strained marriage and a new baby.

    She slowly forms a friendship, then an extra-marital relationship, with Cal, who is wheelchair-bound

    This role is a far cry from what Juliette Lewis was formerly known for, like in Cape Fear and Natural Born Killers. Back in the 90s, Lewis had a wild side that led to scandalous relationships, crazy movie roles, and eventually, rehab.

    She has since taken a long break from Hollywood to form, and tour with, her band, Juliette and the Licks.

    In this way, Juliette Lewis’ art sort of imitates her life.

    In an interview with Salon, she said of the similarities,

    “I got the script and I was totally taken with it and moved. It just seemed like a fresh perspective. I met the director, Jen McGowan, and this is her first feature. I was totally convinced that she was going to make something really special. The fact that my character has a musical past, I thought that was so funny. I’m living my rock ‘n’ roll dream. My character is more reflecting on the past.”

    Lewis continued, “It was really fun for me because I got to write two songs for the movie. It was so exciting for me because as a true songwriter, it’s not like I used some of my music because her style of music is nothing like mine. So I wrote a song specifically in that ’90s, lo-fi, sludgy kind of vibe. I wrote it with my first guitar player, whose name is Clint Walsh. The last song we wrote is “Change”. It’s really hopeful and melancholy and a totally different style of music. To me, it’s like Kelly’s heart and soul.”

    Good luck to Juliette Lewis on her new role! Hopefully we’ll see more of her soon!

  • Sofia Vergara Doesn’t Need A TV To Watch

    Sofia Vergara has been dating Joe Manganiello for a while and they just get more and more beautiful.

    According to Kelly Ripa, they are physically the perfect couple.

    “You two are the perfect couple,” Kelly Ripa said on Live! With Kelly and Michael earlier this week.

    “I’m thinking of the pair of you. If I were you, I would put mirrors everywhere — the ceilings, the walls. I’d be like, ‘Let’s just look at ourselves right now.’”

    Vergara retorted,”Yeah, that’s all we do. We don’t watch TV. We just watch ourselves.”

    When Michael asked Sofia Vergara about Joe Manganiello, she said,

    “He’s very hot,” then the audience erupted in laughter. “He’s a great guy. He’s very funny, and he’s very entertaining, which is very important for me, because I need to be with somebody who knows how to have fun, because I like to have fun.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GacuMPzrSOU

    It seems the feeling is mutual between the gorgeous couple. Long before they were an item, Manganiello was caught surveying her backside in a photo from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

    On the Meredith Vieira Show on Thursday, Sofia Vergara spoke about confronting him with the picture.

    “Somebody sent me the picture and I confronted him about it and he was like, ‘Yeah, I can’t excuse myself. I was there.’”

    Vergara later added, “I didn’t know he was behind me. It was funny. It broke the ice. After that we started talking like, you know.”

    Yes, we know.

    That was in May. By July, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello were one of the most beautiful couples on the planet.

    What do you think? Since Jofia is now an official thing do you think it will last between Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello?

  • Anna Kendrick’s Private Photos Leaked

    Anna Kendrick’s Private Photos Leaked

    Anna Kendrick was among the latest round of celebrities to be exposed when their private photos were leaked.

    Again.

    Jennifer Lawrence was a repeat victim this time, but was joined by Kendrick and supermodel Cara Delevingne, among others.

    While Jennifer Lawrence and Cara Delevingne were nude in their photos, Anna Kendrick was surprisingly covered up in hers.

    That is due to a certain amount of paranoia on her part.

    “I’m paranoid, and with good reason, clearly, as we’ve learned from the last couple of weeks,” Anna Kendrick said.

    “It certainly makes me sad for the girls who were affected, and bummed out that people won’t be able to do that stuff, because it’s a part of life and if you want to you should be able to,” she added.

    So true. After the first round of leaked photos, Anna Kendrick revealed how much relief her brother felt because she wasn’t involved.

    The closest her 87 pics get to scandalous are ones with her partying in revealing outfits. Where can you not see that?

    “When stuff like that happens, I feel really grateful for my paranoia and really sad for people who are just trying to live their life like a normal person. And I hope that guy goes to jail,” said Anna Kendrick.

    She just might get her wish if those responsible are ever caught.

    In 2013, 35-year-old Christopher Chaney was sentenced to 10 years in prison for leaking photos of Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis that he stole from their emails.

    Other celebrities victimized in this most recent attack are Olympic gold medallist Misty May Treanor, soap opera star Alexandra Chando, actress Kelli Garner, actress Lauren O’Neil, and TV presenter Brooke Burns.

    These attacks don’t seem to be stopping any time soon. Take the story of Anna Kendrick and Jennifer Lawrence as yet another reminder to be careful what you share!

  • Quentin Tarantino: “The Hateful Eight” In Colorado

    Quentin Tarantino is preparing to take over a ranch near Telluride, Colorado to film his latest film, The Hateful Eight.

    The film, with a budget of $44 million, will bring major money to the area and to Colorado. The state hasn’t seen a major movie production since 1969’s True Grit.

    “The whole movie’s going to be shot here, exteriors and interiors,” state film commissioner Donald said. “They’re going to build it on a ranch.”

    State authorities approved a $5 million rebate package for Quentin Tarantino to film in Colorado, making the location that much more attractive.

    Prep work on the ranch will begin next month with shooting scheduled to begin December 8th.

    The beautiful 900-acre ranch, which was homesteaded in 1882, is under a conservation easement. That means that Quentin Tarantino’s crew will have to be extra careful to return the ranch to its original state after filming is completed.

    Can one wash blood out of nature? I guess we’ll see.

    Zuckerman said that the film’s producer called and asked for the details on the incentive program.

    “He told me that they pre-scouted Telluride but Quentin had not been there, ” Zuckerman said.

    “Surprise to me, Quentin had never been to Telluride.”

    What did Tarantino think of Telluride?

    “He fell in love with it,” Zuckerman said.

    The Hateful Eight will have a beautiful backdrop and, as expected, a cast full of Quentin Tarantino veterans like Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Madsen, Amber Tamblyn and Bruce Dern.

    The movie centers around bounty hunters, Civil War vets and scoundrels as they gather in a small Wyoming town.

    Most assuredly, havoc, blood, and gore will follow, if we know Quentin Tarantino.

    “Even though there have been some big movies shot here over the years, this is the biggest thing since True Grit, because it’s all Colorado,” Zuckerman said. “Because it’s a Western. And because it’s Tarantino.”

    Are you looking forward to Quentin Tarantino’s new movie?

  • Britney Spears Wants The Duchess To Wear Her Undies

    Britney Spears launched a new lingerie line in London on Tuesday and she’s set her sights on the Duchess of Cambridge to be her first customer.

    The lingerie line is said to be affordable for anyone, but is it fit for royalty?

    Spears will let Kate decide.

    “I would love to see Kate wear my underwear designs — that would be splendid!” Spears said at the presentation.

    She added, “I’m going to send her one of every piece, so she’ll have plenty to choose from.”

    Can we expect a report from Kate? Probably not.

    They are notoriously private, especially on..ahem…bedroom matters.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddrzuhw9yt0

    However, a free box of lingerie wouldn’t go to waste with most women.

    And perhaps the Duchess shares Britney Spears’ bedroom style.

    If not the Duchess, Britney would like to try it on fellow musician Gwen Stefani.

    “I love Gwen Stefani. I think she’s very cool and sexy,” she shared.

    Though she recently split with boyfriend David Lucado, Spears shared a little peek into her lingerie habits.

    “I like to have matching and then sometimes I like to mix it up and change it up and have yellow underwear and a red bra or something, to make it more interesting and fun,” she said.

    That’s good news for whoever takes up with Britney Spears next. The pop star admitted on Tuesday that she isn’t ruling out using the dating app, Tinder.

    She told People, “Maybe! Who knows? Possibly.”

    If you’re going to have a chance to date Britney Spears, there are some qualifications.

    You must be sweet and be able to make her laugh.

    “Those are the two main things that are important to being with someone,” she said.

    Do you think Kate will love or hate Britney Spears’ lingerie?
