August, 2009

Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is devastated by the abrupt departure of her vampire love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) but her spirit is rekindled by her growing friendship with the irresistible Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Suddenly she finds herself drawn into the world of the werewolves, ancestral enemies of the vampires, and finds her loyalties tested.

Wow, has it been that long.  It’s hard to believe, but it’s been ten years since the classic game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire has hit the air. And is that your last answer? To celebrate the anniversary of the popular culture establishment, Regis Philbin returns to to ABC for a fourteen day prime-time event, hosting a special celebrity charity competition on the show, that may roll out the red carpet for a conga line of celebs playing for their reason for choice. In a stimulating novel development, each night, a different celebrity will answer a single query to win $50,000 for their charity of choice talk about pressure. Guest competitors scheduled to appear include I Kissed A Girl frontman Katy Perry ; The Hills hottie Lauren Conrad ; omnipresent rapper Snoop Dogg ; The Middle’s Patricia Heaton ; Olympic Gold medalist / DWTS champion Shawn Johnson and evergreen All-Star NBA point guard Steve Nash, amongst others.

The Millionaire special debuts August 9th on ABC, and will air for eleven nights from Sunday through Thursdays ; check local lists for times.

Kevin Costner steps up to the plate and hits a home run. Definitely worth of being called a class act. After he walked away unharmed last week when a stage fell down he was intended to perform on, the actor/rocker let it be known that if he could help out any of the victims, he would. A 35-year old concertgoer, Donna Moore, who also was employed to work audio for Costner’s gig tragically died when a speaker slid on her in the collapse. Costner has made a decision to auction off a dinner with himself to raise money which will go to Donna’s kids. Costner helped victims that contained one of his band members right after the situation occurred.

He was raring to continue that help for the future saying, “We hope to come back to Alberta in the future to help with the healing.” Its good to see when faced with crisis, there are stars that are keen to help. Costner stuck to his words and though sad, his assistance will perhaps give the well required healing those families merit. Thousands were available to enjoy the Big Valley Jamboree, a Canadian music holiday. Thunderstorms were blamed for the breakdown that left more than 75 others wounded.
