Porn to spice up cell phones

Why doesn't this this surprise me? What the hell??

---------

If the adult entertainment industry has its way, Americans will soon get a choice of free porn on cell phones -- or at least some photographs of good-looking girls in bikinis.

Unlike in Europe, mobile porn has yet to take off in North America as carriers have been afraid of offending political and religious groups and parents concerned about children being exposed to adult content.

That may change this year as phone companies plan to loosen control on their networks to allow a wider variety of gadgets and services, while introducing new tools to shield minors. More advanced phones with better Web browsers like Apple Inc's iPhone also offer higher quality pictures and video.

"It will be impossible to stop the adult business exploitation of mobile entertainment," said Gregory Piccionelli, a lawyer specializing in adult entertainment at law firm Piccionelli & Sarno.

He predicted that U.S. consumers may soon be offered free porn on mobile phones alongside paid services like live video or "adult dates," a term for prearranged sex with strangers.

A conference being held in Miami this week is devoted to discussing mobile opportunities as the porn industry seeks to find a new driver of growth. A surfeit of free online porn sites has cut into profits that have so far come mainly from DVDs, videotapes and pay-per-view or subscription-based Web sites.

Tyra tapped for new show

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the CW has green-lighted an untitled fashion-magazine reality series from Tyra Banks and Ken Mok, the duo behind the network's No. 1 show, "America's Next Top Model."

The series has received an eight-episode order and will begin production in April for a launch in late spring or summer. The show, which the CW unofficially describes as "The Devil Wears Prada" meets "The Assistant," is eyed as a potential companion piece for "Top Model."

"It is a competition show about aspiring assistants looking to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine," Mok said. "At the same time they're trying to prove themselves as aspiring fashionistas, that they have a sense of style and savvyness, all the things to make it in the fashion world."

In each episode, the contestants will compete in two challenges, an individual competition and a team competition, in which each squad will submit a page for "The Book," a mock edition of the magazine. The losing team's page will end up in the trash, and one of its team members will be eliminated. The page from the other team will be included in "The Book." The winner of the competition will land a job in the fashion industry.

The producers are in negotiations with a real fashion magazine to host the contestants, and its editors will help judge the challenges.

TV star Jeremy Beadle dies aged 59

For the London readers, I'm sure you can relate. I was so upset when I heard about his death, I literally grew up watching this man.. RIP Jeremy Beadle.

-----

TV presenter Jeremy Beadle has died after a short battle with pneumonia, his agent said.

His wife Sue and close friends were at his bedside.

The star, best known for the shows Beadle's About and You've Been Framed, leaves his wife, daughters Cassie and Bonnie, and step children Leo and Claire.

In a statement, Beadle's agent, Nick Canham of MPC entertainment, said: "Our heartfelt condolences go to his wife Sue, his two daughters, Cassie and Bonnie and his stepchildren Leo and Claire. He will be greatly missed."

As a stalwart of ITV for many years, Beadle regularly pulled in television audiences in excess of 15 million for Beadle's About and You've Been Framed.

Beadle, who was 59, was a significant fundraiser for Children with Leukaemia throughout his life and is estimated to have raised more than £100 million for charities of all description. He was awarded an MBE in 2001.

Beadle was diagnosed with cancer in 2005, but never allowed the condition to affect him. Last autumn, he released three new books, and prior to his illness he was working on a series of television formats.

Michael Vicks Dogs to star in Reality Show..

Dogtown recently launched its first season January 4th. The series is currently in production on the new episodes, which will premiere in the summer.

Wyclef Jean Risked His Life To Make Gang Documentary

Wyclef Jean feared he'd be killed while making hard-hitting gang documentary GHOSTS OF CITE SOLEIL in his native Haiti after learning he was a wanted man.

Gang leaders disapproved of the former Fugees star's 2006 expose on the mean streets of Port-Au-Prince - and some wanted him shot dead.

The singer/songwriter says, "I thought I'd die before that documentary was finished. One time I was going to see a gang leader, and they'd told him to shoot me on sight.

"He said, 'Boss, these people have given me the authority to shoot you. What do you want me to do?'

"I said, 'Tell them I come in peace. I'm not Martin Luther King of Gandhi, and if I have to, I'll rise like Che Guevara.'"

HEATH LEDGER DEAD

Actor Heath Ledger was found dead today in his Broome Street apartment, apparently from a drug overdose.

Ledger, 28, was well known for his role in "Brokeback Mountain," and he stars in the upcoming "The Dark Knight" Batman movie as the Joker.

He split last year from wife, Michelle Williams, with whom he has a daughter, Matilda.

His apartment was strewn with sleeping pills and it was unclear if it was an intentional or accidental death.

His housekeeper tried to wake Ledger up for a massage appointment and found him unresponsive at 3:20 p.m.

She then called paramedics at 3:26 p.m. and father of one was pronounced dead at 3:35 p.m.

Issac Mizrahi dumps Target for Liz Claiborne

Isaac Mizrahi defected from Target to take up duties as the new creative director for the struggling Liz Claiborne label.

Mizrahi enjoyed an outstanding 5 years with the discount retailer and his collection sold about $300 million worth of merchandise a year. Target desperately wanted to renew his contract but could not match the Claiborne offer.

In this role, Mizrahi will oversee the design and marketing functions for women's apparel, accessories, and licensing. His first collection for Liz Claiborne will arrive in stores in Spring 2009, but unlike his line for Target, Mizrahi's name will not be attached to the Liz Claiborne label.

Oprah Winfrey getting her own TV network

OWN — for Oprah Winfrey Network — will debut next year in nearly 70 million homes with cable and satellite, part of a deal announced Tuesday with Discovery Communications. It will replace the Discovery Health network.

The announcement builds a media empire that already includes the top-rated TV talk show, a magazine, a satellite radio network, a Web site and TV movies made under her banner.

"This is an evolution of what I've been able to do every day," Winfrey said. "I will now have the opportunity to do this 24 hours a day on a platform that goes on forever."

She will be chairwoman of the network, owned 50-50 by Discovery and her company, Harpo Productions Inc. In return for taking over a network already operated by Discovery, Winfrey gives half ownership of the Oprah.com Web site.

Report: Studios cancel writers contracts

Four major studios have canceled dozens of writers' contracts in a possible concession that the current television season cannot be saved, the Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday.

The move means the 2-month old writers strike may also endanger next season's new shows, the Times said.

January is usually the beginning of pilot season, when networks order new scripted shows. But the strike leaves networks without a pool of comedy and drama scripts from which to choose.

20th Century Fox Television, CBS Paramount Network Television, NBC Universal and Warner Bros. Television told the Times they have terminated development and production agreements.

Studios typically pay $500,000 to $2 million a year per writer for them and their staffs to develop new show concepts.

"I didn't see it coming," Barbara Hall, a writer and producer whose credits include former CBS series "Joan of Arcadia" and "Judging Amy," told the Times, which said ABC executives gave her the news Friday. "I am not entirely sure what their strategy is, all I know was that I was a casualty of it."

The newspaper said more than 65 deals with writers have been eliminated since Friday.

Barack Obama Recruits Jay-Z & Kanye To Spread Social Message

U.S. presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama is planning to use rappers including Jay-Z and Kanye West to help educate the American public if he ends up moving into The White House.

Democrat candidate Obama is keen to use established hip-hop superstars to help spread his message of positive social change. Speaking on U.S. TV show What's In It For Us, he said, "I've met with Jay-Z. I've met with Kanye. And I've talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap."

But Obama admits he's not completely comfortable with some of the lyrics contained in rap music. He added, "There are times, even on the artists I've named, the artists that I love, that there is a message that's sometimes degrading to women, uses the N-word a little too frequently.

"But also something that I'm really concerned about is (they're) always talking about material things about how I can get something; more money, more cars."

Burberry has gone technicolor for spring!

In what marks a significant departure from the norm for the iconic British fashion house, Christopher Bailey has cast his team of bright young things in rich color against a clean white backdrop, in keeping with his collection’s vibrant hues.

Agyness Deyn, Burberry’s muse du jour, stars in the images shot by Mario Testino alongside the likes of Lily Donaldson, Coco Sumner (Sting’s daughter), actor Eddie Redmayne, and members of the British rock group Blondelle.

This campaign also marks only the second time Burberry has ever featured a full-color campaign; the first time was Spring 2006, when Gemma Ward was photographed against an oversized bronzed British flag.
