Wordless Wednesday
I think this man should got to L.A., I’m sure he’ll find plenty of well off and or rich women there … whether they’d take him up on his request I’m not sure, but that’s certainly the place to look!

Richie Sambora might be charged with child endangerment
You might have heard that Richie Sambora was arrested on a DUI charge on March 25th? He’d quit drinking for some time but had apparently taken a few drinks that afternoon.
Well, police have now recommended that prosecutors charge him with child endangerment as he was driving with his daughter at the time of his arrest.
He hasn’t been formerly charged as of yet, but if he is charged a jail sentence is likely. He might be able to plea to a lesser offense such as going to rehab instead of jail.
Over the weekend Sambora was spotted in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. He was only seen drinking water.
A tentative arraignment date is set for May 7th.
Ivana Trump marries for fourth time
Well it looks like Ivana Trump has married again. It’s her fourth wedding!
When guests arrived for the wedding ceremony they were told to check their cameras and cell phones at the door. There were over 500 guests in attendance.
The ceremony took place in Palm Beach. She married Italian model-actor Rossano Rubicondi.
Some of the guests in attendance include Robin Leach from the former hit show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous – he even got to take pictures and has posted them on his website, Paris Hilton’s parents, George Hamilton, and Brigitte Nielsen who was formerly married to Sylvester Stallone. Co-incidentally the theme from Rocky played as the groom made his entrance.
A snooping helicopter drowned out the vows at the ceremony.
They even had live music. Neil Sedaka took to the piano and played his song You.
Trying to find the right look for this site
I hate “under Construction” messages or icons, but since I’ve been upgrading this site and trying to find the best theme for it I thought it was time to say something.
I’m sure a few of my visitors have seen a few theme changes on their visits. I haven’t settled on which one to use yet as none of them function quite like I want them too so I need to modify them quite a bit.
I think I’ll use the theme that’s up now, but it needs a punch of color to make it more exciting. At least I think it does.
What do you think?
Totally blown away by Feist – Juno Awards
I’m watching the Juno Awards – that’s Canada’s music awards which are our equivalent to the Grammy’s and Feist is taking a lot of awards.
The Juno’s are held over two days. There was a private dinner ceremony on Saturday night where the bulk of the awards were handed out. Feist pretty much took the big awards – Artist of the year and Song writer of the year.
Other than seeing her perform her song 1234 for the itunes/ ipod commercial on TV I’ve never really seen Feist perform.
I can’t say that anymore! She performed at the Juno’s and totally blew me away. In some ways she reminded me a little bit of Bjork but with a much more mainstream sound. I’d love to go to one of her concerts. I’m sure she’d be a performer worth seeing.
Avril Lavigne also performed at the Junos. She sang Girlfriend. Her backup dancers where sturdy looking girls. It a way it was nice to see more “every woman” type dancers highlighted in an area where usually only the thin and skeletal get to play.
Other big winners at the Juno’s were Finger Eleven for Rock Album of the Year – Them Vs. You Vs. Me.
