| Heidi Montag Say That Jennifer Bunney Done Plastic Surgery Spencer Posted: 29 May 2010 01:53 PM PDT
 Heidi Montag is reportedly set to move in with a gal-pal while the two film a new reality TV show this summer. The plastic surgery-obsessed blonde, who is apparently separating from husband Spencer Pratt, is planning on becoming an independent woman. Montag wants to focus on her acting career, even bidding to star in the next Transformers movie. She is now moving in with her friend Jennifer Bunney while the two film their upcoming show. "Heidi and I are moving into a Malibu beach house this summer," Bunney told the website. "We're really excited to do girly things and show people who we really are and that we're really fun, sweet and loyal girls." Now that Jen is on speaking terms with both Lauren and Heidi, she's playing the neutral friend, all while stirring the pot by bringing up that tired old sex-tape scandal. Since she managed to get so much screen time on last night's episode, with all the lunches she went on (seriously, all these people do is eat in restaurants), we got to really take in the work she's had done on her nose. Check out before and after shots after the jump. So it's buh-bye to Spencer. At least for the summer. Heidi will be renting a Malibu beach house with one of her best friends, Jennifer Bunney, who used to be BFFs with Lauren Conrad in high school and was on "Laguna Beach," claims on her Twitter that Heidi is "healthy and happy." "Heidi and I are moving into a Malibu beach house this summer," "We're really excited to do girly things and show people who we really are and that we're really fun, sweet and loyal girls."

| Battle Of The Bulge The Fight For Children Right Posted: 29 May 2010 01:43 PM PDT
 But on December 16, with the onset of winter, the German army launched a counteroffensive that was intended to cut through the Allied forces in a manner that would turn the tide of the war in Hitler's favor. The battle that ensued is known historically as The Battle of the Bulge. The courage and fortitude of the American Soldier was tested against great adversity. Nevertheless, the quality of his response ultimately meant the victory of freedom over tyranny. The Ardennes Offensive (16 December 1944 – 25 January 1945) was a major German offensive (die Ardennenoffensive), launched towards the end of World War II through the densely forested Ardennes Mountains region of Belgium (and more specifically of Wallonia: hence its French name, Bataille des Ardennes), France and Luxembourg on the Western Front. The Wehrmachts code name for the offensive was Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein (in English: "Operation Watch on the Rhine"), after the German patriotic hymn Die Wacht am Rhein. This German offensive was officially named the Ardennes-Alsace campaign[3] by the U.S. Army,[17] but it is known to the English-speaking general public simply as the Battle of the Bulge. The "bulge" was the initial incursion the Germans put into the Allies' line of advance, as seen in maps presented in contemporary newspapers. In Battle of the Bulge, Bone Crusher (VH1's Celebrity Fit Club Winner) leads plus-size viewers through a complete workout that they can do while in a seated or standing position. It includes a 20-minute workout, a 40 minute workout, a modified couch workout, and a modified bed workout, which is designed for people who have limited range of movement. About 600 children in four schools in Houston spent 45 minutes a day for six months studying nutrition and meal preparation. A study of 60 participants showed that after one year about 80 per cent weighed less than they did when the program started. After two years, 62 per cent still weighed less. ''Obesity is increasing at an alarming rate, both in the United States and Australia,'' said Dr Johnston, an instructor at the Children's Nutrition Research Centre, based at Baylor College of Medicine.

| Usa vs Turkey A Friendly Overview Posted: 29 May 2010 01:38 PM PDT
 The First True Test On Tuesday night against the Czech Republic, Bradley's choices reflected a desire to cut the team from 30 players to 23. With that task accomplished, he now turns to the arduous "team-building" process designed to prepare the U.S. squad for their battles in South Africa. He's hinted that the 11 men who start against Turkey will also feature versus England on June 12. While the backline is riddled with injuries and could change dramatically during the next two weeks, the frontline that takes the Lincoln Financial Center pitch will be what the Three Lions see: Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey up top and a midfield of (l to r) Landon Donovan, Maurice Edu, Michael Bradley, and Stuart Holden. Producing a couple goals against a side that only conceded 10 during UEFA World Cup qualifying would give the U.S. confidence heading to South Africa. One thing we should see today is Carlos Bocanegra at left back after Bradley all but annointed the U.S. captain as his starting left back on Friday. With Bocanegra at left back, that leaves Oguchi Onyewu, Jay DeMerit and Clarence Goodson to man the centerback slots. Goodson has played himself into the conversation and stands a good chance of starting if Oguchi Onyewu has any issues with his knee. Tags: usa soccer, lincoln financial field   |
| Easy Rider Was a Fantastic Film By Dennis Hopper Posted: 29 May 2010 01:29 PM PDT
 Easy Rider is a 1969 American road movie written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda and directed by Hopper. It tells the story of two bikers (played by Fonda and Hopper) who travel through the American Southwest and South with the aim of achieving freedom. The success of Easy Rider helped spark the New Hollywood phase of filmmaking during the late sixties. The film was added to the Library of Congress National Registry in 1998. The success of "Easy Rider," and the spectacular failure of his next film, "The Last Movie," fit the pattern for the talented but sometimes uncontrollable actor-director, who also had parts in such favorites as "Apocalypse Now" and "Hoosiers." He was a two-time Academy Award nominee, and in March 2010, was honored with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. As its director, Dennis Hopper is usually given the lion's share of credit for the film's success, but the revelations of time suggest that the contributions of the late Terry Southern and, to some degree, Jack Nicholson have endowed the film with much of its residual power. Starring Peter Fonda as Wyatt (alias Captain America) and Hopper as Billy, it traces the hippie duo's adventures as they mount their seriously chopped hogs on a journey to find the real America en route to Mardi Gras.

| Victoria Duffy Dennis Hopper’s wife could contest his will Posted: 29 May 2010 01:24 PM PDT
 The actor reportedly has about a month to live due to his progressive illness. It is said that Dennis Hopper's wife could contest his will, possibly leaving her with only a quarter of his estate. Could this be the reason behind the divorce other than "irreconcilable differences"? Viggo Mortenson will speak. Expected guests include Laurence Fishburne, David Lynch, Peter Brant, Tony Shafrazi, Ed Ruscha and LA art world czar Eli Broad. Afterward, the luminaries and Hopper's children will join him for lunch at the Beverly Hills villa of New York businessman Alex Hitz, a friend of Hopper's daughter, Marin. "It is doubtful that Mr. Hopper will ever recover sufficiently to be subjected to a deposition," Hopper's team said. But Victoria Duffy's team said of Hopper's terminally ill condition. "Victoria fully appreciates the gravity and seriousness of Dennis' illness but he is not bed-ridden and continues to engage in travel plans and various activities." Dennis' life and career was filled with ups and down as was his personality. According to http://www.nj.com, "Hopper could be weirdly paranoid (according to Peter Biskind's "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls," he once thought Francis Ford Coppola was secretly filming him). He could also be violent - raising his hand to his first two wives, and threatening to kill several colleagues."

| David Huff Hospital For Several Hours Posted: 29 May 2010 01:18 PM PDT

| Dennis Hopper Dies At the Age Of 74 Posted: 29 May 2010 01:11 PM PDT
 The friend suggested that tension between Duffy-Hopper and Marin Hopper, Dennis' oldest daughter from an earlier marriage, might have led the actor to move to end their nearly 14-year marriage. The friend also noted that Marin Hopper has been spending significant time at the Hopper compound in Venice, Calif. with her father and Duffy-Hopper. "Marin is there at the house with them now, as I understand, and [Hopper] apparently wanted her to become the executor of the will," the friend said. "If he's dying in the next four weeks, what good is this going to do? It must be the money." Dennis Lee Hopper (May 17, 1936 – May 29, 2010) was an American actor, filmmaker and artist. As a young man, Hopper became interested in acting and eventually became a student of the Actors Studio. He made his first television appearance in 1955, and appeared in two films featuring James Dean, Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and Giant (1956). Over the next ten years, Hopper appeared frequently on television in guest roles, and by the end of the 1960s had played supporting roles in several films. He directed and starred in Easy Rider (1969), winning an award at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay as co-writer of the film's script. Despite being banned from Columbia, Hopper was picked up by Warner Bros., who gave him his first film break as a stand-in for James Dean and an onscreen role as an anonymous goon in "Rebel Without A Cause" (1955). Dean immediately became a mentor to Hopper, becoming a major influence on the younger player's acting. Though not necessarily friends away from set, Hopper and Dean developed a strong relationship as student and teacher, respectively. Meanwhile, as "Rebel" became a clarion call for a generation revolting against middle-class American respectability, Dean was suddenly and tragically killed on U.S. Route 466 in Cholame, CA, leaving a nation in mourning and young Hopper devastated for many years. The loss of his mentor meant that Hopper – consciously or not – was to carry on the rebel image as his career progressed. He was seen in "Giant" (1955), Dean's posthumously-released final feature, then appeared in several Westerns, including "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" (1957) and "From Hell to Texas" (1958). On the latter, director Henry Hathaway broke Hopper's spirit for improvising by making him do over 80 takes of a scene in the course of 15 hours, leaving the actor in tears and with a warning he might never work again.
