Im still reeling from all the red carpet photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at Cannes yesterday, arent you? I figured that was as good a reason as any to put a few more up for you to enjoy. I like the top photo, showing the cast together - although I loved Angelinas sexy dress, I really like Diane Krugers dress as well - the white and silver are so pretty.
Some of my favorite Brad and Angelina photos are the ones where they look like theyre in another world.

Beyoncé premiered her music video for today via her official website. It follows right along with the black and white theme seen in her previous videos. Visually, the video leaves much to be desired, but Bey nails the choreography and she looks great!
The video will be included in the I Am re-release. Titled, Above and Beyonce Video Collection and Dance Mixes, the re-release will contain 7 music videos and exclusive behind the scenes footage (presumably from a video shoot, or from the tour) as well as a bonus disc of dance remixes. Im not exactly sure why she chose not to do a complete video anthology for this album, but 7 videos is still an accomplisment. Above and Beyonce Video Collection and Dance Mixes is set to hit Wal-Mart stores everywhere on June 16th.
Check out the video for as well as the album cover-art and official tracklisting for after the jump.

Ok, well maybe not quite yet, but the latest gossip has Angelina as good as gone from what I can seeAngelina Jolie is tired of being tied down to one man and has told partner Brad Pitt she wants an open relationship, according to a new report.
A source tells British magazine Now, Angelina and Brad were having one of their arguments when she told him she was so sick of being stressed that she just yearned to be free and wouldnt care if they had other lovers.Ange has never been a traditional kind of girl, especially when it comes to romance.Even though Brad was attracted to her unconventional behavior initially, at his core hes a traditional guy.
Aw, poor Brad. I bet Angie is a size queen, and we all know from Brad Pitts nude photos that while fit, he isnt packing much heat.
We loved you in Legends of the Fall, Brad. Maybe its time to grow the hair back out.

plenty of fans are still prepared to pay for music - but heres something else that might raise an eyebrow.
Sometime this week Spotify plans to launch an API that will give developers access to the services innards – even to the point of being able to bake their own Spotify clients.
The API will let third parties embed Spotifys technology in a variety of gadgets: including mobile phones, TV set-top boxes and games consoles.
This is the first step towards becoming more of a platform, Ek told me on the phone from Sweden over the weekend. There are lots of services that have APIs, but this is different because it lets anyone build a Spotify client.
He mentioned companies like Sonos and Logitech (who already make music streaming systems) but also the Xbox, PS3 and others.
If somebody wants to build it into media centre PCs, or if a company wants to integrate Spotify into TV screens, they can… several companies are working on stuff right now – we cant announce anything at the moment, but its very interesting.
Allowing other companies and independent developers to create services that link into Spotify would not only help the manufacturers, said Ek, but also allow Spotify itself to reach more people than is currently possible.

The most hysterical thing happening in the tabloids these days is probably the ongoing conservatorship of Britney Spears by her father Jamie. She is comparing her conservatorship like being in prison. So she took action. He called Sam Lutfis little sister and had her bring Britney a pre paid cell phone so she could make independent phone calls, that is right her father is managing her phone calls, and she planned on hiring a lawyer to break the conservatorship.
She is claiming that her father is blackmailing her with visitation to her kids. As long as she plays by the rules, she can see them whenever she wants. However, in the story there actually is an idea of when the conservatorship will end. When she proves to the court, with doctors professional opinion, that she can handle her own affairs only then will the conservatorship end. However she can not be bothered by things like court dates and visitations when she is busy doing a lip syncing tour of the United States right now. So for the time being we can all enjoy in yet another collective laugh and point at Britney Spears.

The people who kept Queen Latifah pretty are making some ugly accusations about the CoverGirl spokeswoman. Cosmetologist Roxanna Floyd and stylist Susan Moses say theyve been stiffed out of $1 million for their work on Queen Latifahs CoverGirl ad campaign, as well as the stars line of intimate apparel.
The Brooklyn women filed separate breach of contract suits yesterday in Manhattan Federal Court against the Bringing Down the House star, whose real name is Dana Owens. Moses says Latifah promised her a $50,000-a-year salary when she went to work on the Curvations line in 2005, and is due $300,000.
Despite such demands and assurances as well as expressions of remorse for having stiffed plaintiff defendants have completely failed to pay plaintiff for her services and . expenses relating to Curvations, Moses lawyer Carmen Giordano wrote.
Latifah spokeswoman Amanda Silverman called the suits without merit, but declined to discuss them further.
Floyd, known as Roxie, has used her powder puff to touch up the likes of Angela Bassett, Whitney Houston and Mary J. Blige. She says shes owed $700,000. Until last year, she was a consultant for the CoverGirl line of cosmetic products known as the Queen Collection, the suit says.

Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt (born William Bradley Pitt on December 18, 1963), is an American film actor, and one of the most widely recognized people in the world.
He was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma to strictly Southern Baptist parents of mainly British and Irish descent and was raised in Springfield, Missouri.
In high school, Pitt was involved in sports, debating, student government, and school musicals. He attended the University of Missouri School of Journalism where he was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He was two credits shy of graduating with a journalism degree, before trying his luck in Hollywood.
Before he became successful at acting, Pitt supported himself as a chauffer, by working as a furniture mover, and as a costumed mascot for the restaurant chain El Pollo Loco. In the late 1980s, Pitt started landing acting gigs on prime-time series such as Dallas, thirtysomething, 21 Jump Street, Another World, Growing Pains, and Head of the Class. In 1988, he finally landed his first starring role in The Dark Side of the Sun. But as the film was being edited, civil war tore apart Yugoslavia, where location shooting was taking place. Most of the footage remained lost until 1997, when the film was finally released.
In 1991, Pitt finally got his big break in one of that years biggest hits: Thelma Louise as J.D., Thelma (Geena Davis)s one-night stand who gives her tips on robbing 7-11 stores. He followed up that success with A River Runs Through It and Se7en.
In 1995, he was chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 25 sexiest stars in film history. Pitt has also twice been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, the only person to ever receive this honor more than once, and is consistently rated as the worlds sexiest man in womens polls worldwide.
Pitt was involved in a long-term relationship with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. They became engaged in December 1996, but it didnt last long and the two split up in June 1997. Extensive tabloid coverage surrounded the relationship. Nude photographs of the couple taken by paparazzi without permission controversially appeared in magazines.
Also in 1997, the film Seven Years in Tibet was released. This film, which chronicled Chinas invasion of Tibet, was hailed by Tibetian nationalists and resulted in Brad Pitt, along with his co-star David Thewlis being banned from entering China for life.
He married actress Jennifer Aniston on July 29, 2000. Their separation was announced on January 7, 2005, and Aniston filed for a divorce on March 25 the same year. There has been speculation that the marriage ended due to Anistons refusal to have children with Pitt, which he greatly desired.
After seperation from Aniston, Pitt began dating actress Angelina Jolie. Pitt accompanied Jolie to Ethiopia in July 2005 to pick up her adopted daughter Zahara from an orphanage in that country. After returning, Pitt was diagnosed with a mild case of viral meningitis. He checked himself into Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles but was released a few days later. Though reluctant to embrace celebrity status, the philanthropic Pitt has been an active supporter of research into diseases, such as AIDS. Unlike many Hollywood celebrities he has remained largely bipartisan, working with members of both parties to help fight poverty, disease and improve global environmental conditions. Along with U2 frontman Bono, and TV evangelist Pat Robertson, Pitt has used his celebrity to campaign for assistance to Africa, and is the marquee spokesman for the ONE Campaign. Pitt has also traveled oversees to visit and entertain U.S. and allied troops.
He was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the 1995 film Twelve Monkeys.

Trivia
Like many A-List stars, Pitt does not normally perform in American commercials. Instead, he does commercials that are seen in Asia only, most notably for Edwin Jeans, the Toyota Altis, and Japanese canned coffee, ROOTS. The one exception to this is the Heineken commercial which aired during the 2005 Super Bowl, it was directed by David Fincher who he worked with on Seven and Fight Club.
He was previously engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow, and dated actresses Juliette Lewis, Robin Givens, Alice Wilkinson and Geena Davis. Paltrow confessed in an interview that she regretted breaking up with him.
He tore his Achilles tendon during the production of Troy, in which he plays, coincidentally, Achilles.
He sued Damiani International, the company which made the wedding ring he gave Jennifer Aniston, for selling replica Brad and Jennifer rings. According to Pitt, the ring was his design and was to be exclusive. Under the settlement reached in January 2002, Pitt will design jewelry for Damiani that Aniston will model in ads, and the company will stop selling the copies.
On August 6, 2005, a man was arrested for trespassing on Pitts property. Reportedly, the tresspasser was a photographer for People Magazine, who was there to take pictures of a possible birthday party for Angelina Jolies adopted son Maddox.
He is a vegetarian.
He was taught to ride a horse by Albertan John Scott, a rancher/stunt co-ordinator who also taught numerous other Hollywood stars the same skill.
Together with Paramount Pictures head Brad Grey and Jennifer Aniston, he is the co-founder of the production company Plan B. Aniston is no longer a partner in the company, although she is still attached to many projects that were set up before her divorce. The company produced the Johnny Depp starring blockbuster Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Has been awarded a Blue Peter badge.
Despite being one of the most popular actors, he hasnt achieved major box office success like Tom Cruise or Arnold Schwarzenneger. His biggest hit was Troy, which was considered a flop by many because of its budget. The 2005 film Mr. and Mrs. Smith defied all expectations and took in over $300 million at the international box office still less than what Tom Cruises War of the Worlds took in.
He owns a house in the picturesque town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

natural search results
The ‘real’ search results. The results that most users are looking for and which take up most of the window. For most searches, the search engine displays a long list of links to sites with content which is related to the word you searched for. These results are ranked according to how relevant and important they are.
organic search results
See ‘natural search results’.
PPC (Pay-Per-Click advertising)
See ‘Sponsored Links’.
PageRank
See ‘Google PageRank’.
rank
Your position in the search results that display when someone searches for a particular word at a search engine.
reciprocal link
A mutual agreement between two webmasters to exchange links (i.e. they both add a link to the other’s website on their own website). Most search engines (certainly Google) are sophisticated enough to detect reciprocal linking and they don’t view it very favorably because it is clearly a manufactured method of generating links. Websites with reciprocal links risk being penalized.
robot
See ‘Spider’.
robots.txt file
A file which is used to inform the search engine spider which pages on a site should not be indexed. This file sits in your site’s root directory on the web server. (Alternatively, you can do a similar thing by placing tags in the header section of your HTML for search engine robots/spiders to read. See ‘Optimizing your web ’ on p.22. for more information.)
Sandbox
Many SEO experts believe that Google ‘sandboxes’ new websites. Whenever it detects a new website, it withholds its rightful ranking for a period while it determines whether your site is a genuine, credible, long term site. It does this to discourage the creation of SPAM websites (sites which serve no useful purpose other than to boost the ranking of some other site). Likewise, if Google detects a sudden increase (i.e. many hundreds or thousands) in the number of links back to your site, it may sandbox them for a period (or in fact penalize you by lowering your ranking or blacklisting your site altogether).
SEO
Search Engine Optimization. The art of making your website relevant and important so that it ranks high in the search results for a particular word.
SEO copywriter
A ‘copywriter’ who is not only proficient at web copy, but also experienced in writing copy which is optimized for search engines (and will therefore help you achieve a better search engine ranking for your website).
search engine
A search engine is an online tool which allows you to search for websites which contain a particular word or phrase. The most well known search engines are Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
site map
A single page which contains a list of text links to every page in the site (and every page contains a text link back to the site map). Think of your site map as being at the center of a spider-web.
SPAM
Generally refers to unwanted and unrequested email sent en-masse to private email addresses. Also used to refer to websites which appear high in search results without having any useful content. The creators of these sites set them up simply to cash in on their high ranking by selling advertising space, links to other sites, or by linking to other sites of their own and thereby increasing the ranking of those sites. The search engines are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and already have very efficient ways to detect SPAM websites and penalize them.
spider
Google finds pages on the World Wide Web and records their details in its index by sending out ‘spiders’ or ‘robots’. These spiders make their way from page to page and site to site by following text links.
Sponsored Links
Paid advertising which displays next to the natural search results. Customers can click on the ad to visit the advertiser’s website. This is how the search engines make their money. Advertisers set their ads up to display whenever someone searches for a word which is related to their product or service. These ads look similar to the natural search results, but are normally labeled “Sponsored Links”, and normally take up a smaller portion of the window. These ads work on a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) basis (i.e. the advertiser only pays when someone clicks on their ad).
submit
You can submit your domain name to the search engines so that their ‘spiders’ or ‘robots’ will crawl your site. You can also submit articles to ‘article submission sites’ in order to have them published on the Internet.
text link
A word on a web page which the reader can click to visit another page. Text links are normally blue and underlined. Text links are what ‘spiders’ or ‘robots’ use to jump from page to page and website to website.

From his early days as a hot young blonde actor in Thelma and Louise, to his most recent distinguished look in The Curse of Benjamin Button, the variety of Brad Pitt gallery photos is virtually endless. Appearing in more than 35 movies, dozens of television episodes, hundreds of magazine covers and centers, and even in a game show (The new Hollywood Squares 1988), the Brad Pitt gallery would seem to be overflowing with pictures for the mass of fans whom adore his work.
In addition to all the still pictures available, a plethora of video feeds are available, featuring clips, trailers, and scenes from many Brad Pitt movies. There is no lack of eye candy available for any one interested in viewing a Brad Pitt gallery.
Brads career and personal life are well documented in the thousands of picture databases and Brad Pitt gallery websites on the Internet. However, one place you may not find Brad is in the rare nude scenes shot for Playgirl magazine in 1997. A lawsuit filed by Brad Pitt resulted in the removal of many of the August 1997 issues, making these photographs a rare commodity.
Pictures sporting hundreds of different looks from a scruffy three-day-old beard growth to a sexy goatee or a clean shaven gentleman, the Brad Pitt gallery shows the many characters of Brad in his movies. However, the best part of Brad is in his cameo appearances in his off-screen moments with girlfriend Angelina Jolie and his 6 children.
Several Internet websites devote a virtually unlimited amount of space for Brad Pitt gallery pictures. Practically every important moment in Brads 20-plus year Hollywood career is in one or another of these Brad Pitt gallery fans sites. Suffice it to say if you want to see Brad at any moment in his career, it only takes a few clicks of a mouse to discover his picture somewhere on the Internet.
While many people browse the Internet to find a Brad Pitt gallery, it is remarkable to note that Brad is not one of those. In a recent interview at the 13th Annual Oscar roundtable discussion, Brad admitted he has never Googled himself, as he confessed he does not know much about computers. This may come as a disappoint to his many fans who promote him through their fan websites, blogs and Brad Pitt gallery sites, since he may never visit them and leave a charming comment.

Sahaja Yogis of the world celebrated Her Holiness Shri Mataji's 86th birthday on March 23, 2009.

Shree Mataji has worked selflessly and tirelessly to spread her message of peace, happiness and joy.

In a world where ignorance, greed, uncontrolled desires and imbalances are threatening to take over the humanity of human beings, her teachings come as an oasis in the desert of the emotionless robots, human beings have become.

Simple, straight forward and direct, her messages are not a rehash of scriptures as practiced by most self-styled gurus of today. In them lie new truths and insights that strike a chord and have the power of changing human beings. Her deceptively simple style is a contrast to the learned and erudite style and also artificial ways of other gurus. When you go home, after listening to her lectures, you realize her words still ring and effect you. Can change you, if you are willing

While doing Sahaja Yoga you feel peaceful. You become healthy. You look younger. And you have a new capacity to deal with the toughest of situations, when you are connected to the divine mother.

There is a saint within us, a living incarnation.

young as 14, as well as the names of the schools they attend, the cars they drive, their license plate numbers, and other identifying information. Many juvenile sex offenders were themselves victims before they committed their offenses, and are especially vulnerable to further victimization.

Additionally, many juvenile sex offenses are intra-familial. During deliberations in the Ohio General Assembly on SB 10, testimony was heard from several parents with a child who sexually offended on a sibling. Those parents testified about the conflicts they face, as parents of both a juvenile sex offender and a victim of sexual abuse. In these situations, the offender and the victim receive much-needed treatment only if their parents are willing to speak up and seek help. Undoubtedly, many parents will be unwilling to ask for help if doing so resigns one child to a lifetime of inclusion on an internet-based registry, with all the restrictions on schooling, employment, and residency it entails, as well as potential threats to that childs safety. As a result, in many instances, neither offender nor victim will receive the treatment they need.

The risk of mandatory, lifetime inclusion on a public registry will also mean that children facing charges for sex offenses will be less likely to plead guilty and more likely to go to trial, thus exposing the victim and others to the trauma of testifying and to other intrusive aspects of the criminal justice system. And childrens defense counsel will certainly work to get sex offense charges reduced to non-sex offense charges, such as assault, in order to avoid the severe consequences of lifetime inclusion on the public registry. But a child adjudicated delinquent for assault is unlikely to receive sex offender treatment, which results in tremendous lost opportunities for treatment and the prevention of further harm.

The list of offenses to be included on the public registry may seem to target only the worst of the worst of juvenile sex offenders. But in Ohio, the offenses recognized as equating to the federal definition of aggravated sexual abuserape, sexual battery, and gross sexual impositioninclude a wide range of behaviors.

Several years ago, my office represented a 16-year-old boy. On the school bus, Brian sat next to a 15-year-old girl whom he had dated previously. He touched his former girlfriends breasts through her clothes, and attempted, unsuccessfully, to put his hand down her pants. The girl testified at trial that Brian had put his hand down her pants bout to the knuckle line. Brian was adjudicated delinquent for attempted rape and gross sexual imposition.

In another example of a client my office represented, a 14-year-old boy, and several other children had been at a friends house without parental supervision. Zach and some of the boys had stolen bottles of alcohol, and the girls had set up a tent in the yard. At some point in the evening, Zach and a 10-year-old girl, who had become boyfriend and girlfriend earlier that day, were lying on their sides next to each other in the tent. He put his arm over the girls midsection and touched her below her beltline but did not put his hand in between her legs. Zach was adjudicated delinquent for gross sexual imposition on a victim under the age of 13.

My office also represented whose case highlights many of the problems typically found in juvenile courts. Michael was removed from his mothers custody at the age of 11, after being physically abused, and over the next several years was placed in seven different foster homes. He is very low-functioning and has been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, extreme mood swings, and reactive attachment disorder. Despite this, Michael was adjudicated delinquent for gross sexual imposition without being represented by counsel. Michael certainly should have been evaluated for his competency to face the GSI complaint, but he had no attorney to raise the issue, and Ohio lacks a competency statute for juveniles.

The Adam Walsh Act purports to protect society from dangerous sexual predators, like the adult pedophiles, unknown to their victims, who kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and murdered Adam Walsh, Jacob Wetterling, Jessica Lunsford, and the other children for whom the legislation is named. But, with the overly broad requirements of the Adam Walsh Act and Ohios SB 10, Ohioans instead find themselves from children like Brian, Zach, and Michael.

The year that Ohio implemented the Adam Walsh Act also marked the 40th anniversary of In re Gault, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that granted many basic due process rights to children in juvenile court, including the right to advance notice of the charges, the right to a fair and impartial hearing, and the right to be represented by counsel. But Gault did not grant full due process protections to juveniles facing delinquency complaints. Notably absent are a childs right to a grand jury determination of probable cause and the right to an open and speedy trial by jury. And, at least in Ohio, juveniles have yet to fully realize the promises of Gault. A recent study found that two-thirds of children facing unruly or delinquency complaints are not represented by counsel when they appear in Ohios juvenile courts.

The failure to fully protect juveniles constitutional rights is certainly not limited to Ohio. Last month, two Luzerne County, Pennsylvania judges pled guilty to receiving $2.6 million in kickbacks to send juveniles to certain juvenile detention facilities. A lawsuit filed by the Juvenile Law Center on behalf of 70 families affected by this scandal alleges that the two judges violated the rights of juveniles in ways that went beyond the kickback scheme.10 The lawsuit asserts that in a wave of unprecedented lawlessness, the judges failed to advise youth of their right to counsel, accepted their guilty pleas without explaining the charges against them, and garnished the wages of their parents to pay the costs of detention. If Pennsylvania were to adopt the Adam Walsh Acts overly broad offense-based system, some of these youth, forced to enter admissions to sexual offenses in courts that showed complete disregard for their constitutional rights, would automatically be labeled Tier III and subject to lifetime registration and notification.

The Guidelines for implementation, issued by the SMART Office, instruct that registration need not be required on the basis of a foreign conviction if the conviction was not obtained with sufficient safeguards for fundamental fairness and due process The Guidelines fail to acknowledge, however, that only limited due process protections are offered to children in juvenile court. By placing juvenile sex offenders on a public registry, the Adam Walsh Act imposes adult sanctions on juvenile defendants. It treats a select group of children who appear in juvenile court differently than other children who appear in juvenile court; it treats them more like adult sex offenders than like children. And it does so without regard to the limited due process protections offered to children in juvenile court.

Limited due process protections make the retroactive application of the Adam Walsh Act especially inappropriate for juveniles. Children who have already been through the juvenile court systemwithout full due process protections and perhaps without even being represented by counselcould never have anticipated that lifetime inclusion on a public registry would someday be a consequence of their juvenile court proceeding.

Recognizing the unique qualities and needs of children, the juvenile court system was established to focus on treatment, supervision, and control, rather than solely on punishment. Inclusion on a public registry, though, will significantly limit treatment and aftercare options for juvenile sex offenders. Many group homes, foster homes, and community placements will not accept children with sex offenses in their histories. Children on a public registry with community notification requirements will be nearly impossible to place for or after treatment. As a result, many juvenile sex offenders will be kept in juvenile correctional facilities far beyond the time it takes them to complete treatment. Children will be incarcerated not because they need further treatment or pose a risk to public safety, but only because public policy will prevent them from going anywhere else. This is a dramatic, and ill-advised, shift in the focus of the juvenile court system from treatment to punishment.

Subjecting juvenile sex offenders to the same sanctions as adults raises legal and scientific questions about culpability and punishment, and the registration and notification requirements are inconsistent with the purposes of juvenile court: treatment and rehabilitation. Inclusion on an internet-based public registry will subject juveniles to social ostracism, limit access to educational and work opportunities, make it more difficult for juveniles to be placed with family or friends, and limit residential treatment options. And treating juvenile sex offenders in the same manner as adult sex offenders with respect to reporting, notification, and length of classification, even though juveniles have fewer legal rights and protections than adults, presents legal and Constitutional problems.

The plain language of the Adam Walsh Act requires that all children age 14 and older who are adjudicated delinquent for offenses comparable to or more severe than aggravated sexual abuse be included on the public, online registry of sex offenders. But the negative consequences of doing sofewer intra-familial crimes being reported, fewer offenders and victims receiving treatment, and children on the registry being targeted for abuse and exploitation, to name only a fewwould actually put states out of compliance with the stated intent of the Adam Walsh Act: protecting children from violent sex offenders.

Hagman joins a shiny lineup of Lone Star luminaries at the annual Texas Film Hall of Fame

Larry Hagman wants to play a few more big roles before he retires from this acting thing. Such as Santa Claus. And God.

Picture: You die, go to heaven. Amble through the pearly gates. Greet your late pet Labradoodle Barney. Shake hands with old dead friends, catch up. Then take a private audience with God. You look up. Sitting in a cloud-wrapped throne, gazing down upon you, is ... J.R. Ewing.

Peering from beneath the wide brim of a cowboy hat, guaranteed.

"Well, of course. I wear one all the time," Hagman says by phone from a home in Santa Monica, Calif., which some folks (actors, surfers) might consider heaven on Earth. (His other home is in nearby Ojai. He lives with Maj, his wife of 54 years.)

Hagman, who was born in Fort Worth in 1931, is coming back to Texas Thursday for the Texas Film Hall of Fame, into which he will be inducted by his former "Dallas" co-star Linda Gray. Luke Wilson, Billy Bob Thornton, Powers Boothe, John Cusack and others will turn one of the cavernous soundstages at Austin Studios into a gigantic celebrity sandwich during the annual gala, a fundraiser for the Austin Film Society.

Slip on your iron-on "J.R. for President" T-shirt and TV time travel to an era when prime-time soap "Dallas," "Love Boat" and "Charlie's Angels" polyestered-up the airwaves. Here, in the epoch of ring-around-the-collar and L'Eggs commercials (starring one Linda Gray, aka Sue Ellen Ewing), J.R. is a global cultural sensation, hated enough for someone on the show to shoot him, loved enough for a worldwide chorus to wonder, breathlessly, "Who shot J.R.?"

"I'm probably the most famous actor in the world," Hagman told a journalist a few years ago.

We follow this up with: Do you still believe that?

"Well, yeah," Hagman says in a lightly breaded drawl. " 'Dallas' was an international phenomenon, except of course in China. It was huge. I'm sure there are more famous actors now."

But none who got to play Maj. Anthony Nelson, befuddled roommate then husband of Barbara Eden's puckish genie, conveniently named Jeannie. And none who fronted one of the most successful television juggernauts in history.

Other hmmm-inducing facts about Hagman: He's a vegetarian. He voted for Barack Obama. He's big on alternative energy (and says he just spent $1 million on solarizing his homes). He used to be a drunkard, leading to a liver transplant in 1996. He inhaled, repeatedly and often. He remains in the 12-step program.

Also: He's friendly, accessible, earthy, a little nutty and very funny.

Austin American-Statesman: What do you think of this hall of fame honor? Is it nonsense or does it mean something to you?

Larry Hagman: I think it's an honor, sure. Who else is being honored, by the way?

Billy Bob Thornton is one. Luke Wilson will be there, too.

Billy Bob is a wonderful actor. Luke Wilson? No kidding! I love him, too. Hey, that's great. That's good company to be in!

Linda Gray is inducting you. Are you still close friends?

Oh, very good friends. We have lunch two or three times a month. She's almost like family. My wife calls her "wife." They call each other wife. "Hi, wife!" I was married to (Gray) twice (on "Dallas").

You once said, 'I don't care about awards. I don't like accolades. I like the money in the bank.'

Yep. Generally speaking, awards are there to advertise something. But with this one, there's nothing to gain. If you win an Academy Award, it makes more money for the studio and makes you more marketable. It's a business thing. This is not business. This is just an award for being, I don't know ... for being the biggest (expletive) in the world. Wanna print that?

Yes, I do. Some of us weren't aware of your infamous wild period in the '70s, with drugs and colorful antics and zany friends. You were dubbed the 'Mad Monk of Malibu.' What was that all about?

I lived in Malibu and just had a wonderful time out there. It was a great place to live in those days. I'd have these parades. I'd take about 100 flags and stick them in the sand and when people walked by I'd say, "You want to make a parade?" And we'd get 100 or 150 people and parade down the beach. They'd say, "What's it for?" And I'd say, "Because it's Thursday!"

One of your best friends at the time was The Who drummer Keith Moon. That sounds like an odd pair.

He was a hell of a guy, wonderful. He was smart and funny and talented, but he blew his life out.

You almost did the same thing.

I guess so. I had a liver transplant because of alcohol. But (that time) wasn't really a wild period. I haven't changed.

Yet you've toned down the LSD, pot, peyote and booze.

Oh, yeah. I don't drink any more. I haven't had LSD in 40 years. Everybody smoked grass in those days. I dropped LSD when it was legal. Have you ever taken LSD?

Gulp. LSD isn't really my thing.

Mushrooms are much easier. LSD asks a lot of you. It's scary, but it's also very revealing. It makes you at one with nature and with everything else. It's a very unifying thing, if it's a good trip. It's possibly the most important thing I've ever done in my life.

Oh, my God. You've also said that LSD took away your fear of death.

Yeah, of course. Because you kind of die. Your ego dies. Whatever makes you you, you find out is just this little speck in the cosmos, but you're a part of the cosmos at the same time.

It sounds Buddhist.

Oh, yes, absolutely. It's a very enlightening experience. It tells you where you are in the universe and that all the other stuff is really not that important.

You've directed episodes of 'I Dream of Jeannie' and 'Dallas,' but people might be stunned to know you directed the 1973 B-flick 'Son of the Blob,' a sequel to 'The Blob.' It's actually screening April 15 in Austin (at the Alamo Ritz).

(Laughs) They're going to screen it? Oh, my God!

How in the world did you get that job?

In Malibu I had a next door neighbor named Jack Harris, who had produced the first "Blob" with Steve McQueen. We were in my jacuzzi and he said, "Hey, you want to direct 'Son of the Blob'?" I said sure. I cast it from the deck of my house in Malibu. People would walk along the beach and I'd say, "Hey, you wanna be eaten by the Blob?" Burgess Meredith and Carol Lynley and a whole bunch of people, friends of mine, played in it. I loved it! We shot it fast like television, eight pages a day. ... The blob was rubber balloons covered in red gelatin and stuff. They were big! The size of a small bedroom. That's a lot of gelatin. It wasn't a huge success or anything, but it's kind of a cult thing now. I think we made it for $87,000. We used to call it "S.O.B."

What was J.R.'s problem? Why was he such a jackass?

I don't think he was. He was just a Texas businessman. I modeled him on a guy I worked for when I was 15 or 16. I went down to live with my father in Weatherford. I told my mom (actress Mary Martin) I wanted to be a cowboy, so I moved down there. That was a revelation for me, because I'd been schooled in Europe and on the East Coast and Los Angeles, so it was kind of provincial when I got down there. I got off the train from Vermont with this bouffant of curly hair and my dad took me straight to the barbershop and made me get a crewcut right away, man. Then he said I had to play football. Well, (expletive), I'd never played football. I was on the B team, and the first game we played among ourselves I tripped over my own ankle and broke it. So I couldn't play, so my dad made me do the Golden Gloves, so I boxed for a year. Oh, my God. It was a culture shock, but I loved it. I worked for this guy named Jess Hall Jr., and I learned all about J.R. right there from him. How to be fun and have a good time. How to be ruthless.

Your J.R. is up there with great villains like Hannibal Lecter, except he didn't eat people. Fans love to hate him. Yet you say he wasn't such a bad guy.

Listen, "Dallas" was a microcosm of what was going on during that period of time. Big clothes, big money, big debt. So, hell, no, I don't consider him a villain. He was just doing what he had to do to succeed. He wasn't mean. He was a survivor. He was a product of the time in business. Ruthless.

Is it true that Robert Downey Jr., at his lowest point, asked to borrow a ton of money from you?

It was $250,000. He's come a long way. He's done a hell of a job, and he's a wonderfully talented guy. But he did need $250,000. I had rented him a house, and he came in barefoot and he smelled terrible, and he had walked through the desert from some rehab place in Arizona. He somehow conned his way into my house one night. I didn't even recognize him. He said, "Larry, I need help." I told him I'd love to help him but I want a consensus from all your friends to pitch in, too. I didn't know him that well. He was desperate, desperate. But he got his act together.

What's the one thing you want to do before you cash it in? I've heard you want to play Santa Claus.

Or God.

What would God look like?

Me!

Just like you? With a cowboy hat?

Well, he would look like all of us.

Would you do anything, put on makeup or a fake beard?

No. We don't even know if God is a man.

Some of us don't even believe in him or her.

I don't! That's all a bunch of (expletive).

So how do you play him if you don't believe in him.

Interview with Markus Frind - AdSense Millionaire
Markus Frind runs a free online dating site called PlentyOfFish.com and he rocked the Internet world this week when he posted a photo of his latest Google AdSense check for nearly $1 million CAD.
It was a check for 2 months because the first check they sent was so big it was rejected by his bank. (I hate it when that happens.)
I asked Markus to share a few thoughts with us, and he was kind enough to oblige.
You're a one-man show running a very successful dating site. Tell us how you got started.

Back in 2001 after my birthday someone in the office introduced me to online dating sites. I went back to my desk and checked out udate.com and kiss.com and lavalife/web personals. I was bored and I wanted to chat with people. I was really annoyed when I found out you had to pay for everything, I ended up telling the girl who introduced me to the sites that I could do better and make them for free, so I went and registered Plentyoffish.com. All I ever ended up doing was creating an index page and forgot about it. Fast forward to 2003... [Find the rest of Markus' answer over on his blog]

Your site, if you'll forgive me, isn't terribly attractive, it isn't "web 2.0" it isn't even a terribly original idea. Many entrepreneurs today think that without those ingredients in the recipe, they'll never make it. You've clearly proved otherwise. What's your secret and what are your thoughts about what it takes to be successful?

To many people assume an "original idea" is just something that looks visually different then others. I created the first real free dating and the first one that actually worked. Just like Google created the first real search engine that worked. There is no such thing as a secret. When I came home from work I sat down and I forced myself to code for a hour or 2. The enemy was thinking, whenever I paused or started to think I would force myself to type something, its amazing how much you can get done when you just type. There are only 1000 or so sites in the world with massive traffic, and of those mine is the only one that is run by a single person. It's not possible for thousands of people to be as successful as me. For being successful in building sites you need to give something to the surfer faster or better or both. If you want to do pay per click, you just need to be good at picking words to bid on. For that business its just a matter of repetition and fighting boredom. At the end of the day you just need to sit down and DO it. Most people don't.

You've obviously done a brilliant job marketing the site because you have some insane traffic numbers. What do you feel has been your most successful marketing move and why?

It was all viral. My best move was not going out and spending a ton of money, with online dating you need to spend $6.00 for every free member, and most of those leave on the first day and the few that do become active don't stay more than 3 months. So 30% of your membership is turned over per month. There is no way you can make your money back. The site went ballistic in Canada all on its own I really didn't have to do anything.

What has been your least successful marketing effort? Why wasn't it successful?
Radio, too expensive, too hard to buy your way into markets. Yahoo, Match.com and Eharmony and Lavalife are each spending $10 million a month on marketing. How can you even come close to competing with them?

Can you share some of your favorite sources of inspiration and ideas? (e.g. certain blogs/books/magazines)
Never bothered reading books, magazines Just started reading blogs lately outside the dating world. For the most part I treated it as a video game, and defeat isn't an option you just find some way to win.

Any parting advice for other entrepreneurs trying to gain success with AdSense or other "eyeball/traffic"-oriented ventures?
Google pays out $500 million a quarter to AdSense users. That money is going somewhere, and if you look at the top 1000 sites not a hell of a lot of them have AdSense. Statistically speaking those sites that have low numbers of users and high EPC [Earnings Per Click] will make the most money. Build sites that no one else has done before, stuff only goes viral the first 1 or 2 times after that you have to buy your way into a market.

UPDATE: Up until this weekend, the biggest news about Rihanna was that she spent her birthday in the Mexican town of Punta Mita. People has blown that out of the water, reporting that she is getting back together with allegedly abusive boyfriend Chris Brown. Did we suddenly rewind reality or something?
“They’re together again. They care for each other,” a source says. The pair are supposedly spending their time together at a home owned by Sean Combs. “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”
It sounds like this deal was sealed when Chris called Rihanna last week.
“He called to wish her happy birthday,” a source told the magazine. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.”
Meanwhile, MediaTakeOut.com has quite an incredulous report that Brown plans on pleading self-defense in answer to any possible charges that he beat the daylights out of his now-21-year-old girlfriend.
Chris is already building his case, the site says. He's saying she threw a phone at him, then hit him in the head and basically just lost it. He's saying she attacked him.
We find it hard to believe Chris would be so naive as to think anyone would believe that. You'd have to at least throw a bullet from a gun at him to warrant the reaction he's accused of. Of course, now it sounds like he may not even be charged, so what's the point.

New Yorkers feasted on the story when the news broke in 2006: Brooke Astor, a worldly and megaphilanthropist with Alzheimers disease, had been swindled of millions of people and mistreated by his own son.
Anthony Marshall, her only child, was charged with criminal offenses, including grand theft, possession of stolen property, forgery and conspiracy.
Jury selection for the trial, which also involves Marshalls lawyer, Francis Morrissey Jr., who, including in response to accusations of forgery and scheming to defraud, is scheduled to begin Monday.
An attorney representing Marshall, Fred Hafetz, would say only that there was no way and he hoped that his client is justified.
The trial is likely to revive the tabloid frenzy, which has promoted titles such as Bad heir day, Mrs. Astor disaster and DA kick at Astor.
This is not the way closest to those who want it to remember Astor. And information resulting from spills of the witness is not the type of Astor, who died in August 2007, at 105, would like to share in public.
She was mortified, said Vartan Gregorian, a longtime friend and president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. She was very private.
With her late husband Vincent Astor Foundation, Astor was credited to New York, where the Astors made their fortune, about $ 200 million. And even if she felt it was expected of him is clean and elegant, said Gregorian, wealth does not define it.
Talk of money, property and others have unfortunately been out of bounds to his dinner, he said. It is not ostentatious. It was very funny, very spiritual and very caring.
When a so-called robber accosted her, she foiled the attempted hold-this response: Excuse me. My name is Mrs. Astor. I do not think weve been properly introduced, Gregorian recalled with a laugh.
For 23 years, Linda Gillies led the Astor Foundation and saw his approach to doing good - not only for its crown jewels, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York Public Library, but also for lower profile programs.
Astor has often been quoted as saying: Money is like manure, its not worth a thing if it is around. But for her, yet it was not simply the money.
Betty Cooper Wallerstein, a community organizer who assisted Astor in 2500 to save low-income apartments in Manhattan, Upper East Side, Astor described as equally comfortable mingling with the tenants as it was in high society.
