In 2003 a movie called "Anger Management" was a flash in the pan at movie theatres. The film, which starred Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, was best known for a beginning scene in which airport security is parodied when Sandler gets kicked off of a flight for seemingly nothing only to be forced into learning anger management from Nicholson who seems to have some rather extreme personality issues of his own. Apparently the movie is fondly remembered by some though because it was released today that a television show based off of the movie will be hitting the small screen in the future. The show has no release date as of yet but has landed Charlie Sheen to play the Sandler role.

The Aberdeen, Washington Council will meet at the end of this month to allow time for council members to propose new changes to the town. This month the board will be voting on whether or not to change the name of an existing bridge to honor one of their local celebrities, Kurt Cobain. The frontman for Nirvana was born and sadly passed away prematurely in the state, not to mention his band Nirvana became unofficial mascots for Washington during the grunge period. The bridge and small park, which is currently called Young Street Bridge, would be renamed Cobain's Landing. The buzz surrounding the change seems to suggest that the new name may stick but there are those that believe that naming a bridge after a known drug addict as well as someone who took their own life, supposedly, should not have a public place named after them. But the town has already dedicated a tribute to the singer, the sign that welcomes you into town reads "Come As You Are." So Aberdeen, "As a friend as an old enemy, take your time hurry up, the choice is yours don't be late."
Yankees player Derek Jeter was most likely very surprised this past weekend when the fan that caught the ball from his 3,000th hit returned it to him. Most Americans would have gone running as fast as possible to the nearest computer to auction the ball off for possible thousands, but not Christian Lopez. Instead the Yankees fan returned the ball with the assumed thought of getting nothing for it. Luckily he was not sent away empty handed, instead he walked out as a season ticket holder in the luxury box seats. But these seats, along with front-row tickets and autographed memorabilia may fall under the watchful eye of Uncle Sam as being income. The generous fan might be hit with as much as $14,000 in taxes just for being a nice guy. Maybe his new friend Jeter can help him with that?
Michelle Crowder created a petition called "Caylee's Law" this week via change.org to make a law that would charge adults with a felony for failing to report a child missing within 24 hours or a child's death within the hour. Crowder is being recognized for her push for change in light of the recent and highly disputed verdict over the toddler's death. Tuesday, July 7, Caylee's mother was found innocent of first degree murder, manslaughter, and child abuse leaving many perplexed as to what happened to the two-year old. Some fear that the public will never know but are comforted that passing a law such as this would be a step towards ensuring that it never happened again. Similar laws passed include the AMBER Alert which was instated in 1996 after Amber Hagerman, 9-years old, was abducted and murdered. The alert, known by various names, informs the public as soon as a child is missing as well as any details regarding the kidnapper. The Polly Klaas Foundation was set up in 1993 and is dedicated to allowing families of victims access to the latest technologies in law enforcement regarding missing persons cases. Elizabeth Smart, who was abducted in 2002 and thankfully recovered nine months later, has been hired onto the ABC News team as a Missing Persons correspondent. The mother of Natalee Holloway, Beth Holloway, now hosts a show called Vanished on the Lifetime Network. The show is dedicated to keeping new and old cases open and in sight so that chances to solve them are not missed.With the knowledge of those who have been through the worst similar cases are highly preventable. None of the above mentioned cases involved the attacker possibly being a family member like Caylee's case but hopefully her law can pass giving the public a way to conserve her memory and allow her mother's name to fall to the waste-side.
Many relationships have the occasional set of hard times that eventually subside, but what happens when two people have completely hit a wall together? No matter how hard one or the other tries the attraction never seems to come back fully, only in bits and pieces. The solution for many is to simply leave but, according to Associated Content, this is a decision that most make too soon. "Many relationships are repairable, but too often people are hasty and want to escape instead of figuring out what the problems are and focusing on solutions." They continue on to comment that all too often resentment becomes a third party in the relationship. Each person begins to take normal human responses, like being too energetic to sit and watch a movie together, as a personal blow. They take this as a sign that their boyfriend/girlfriend does not want to hang out with them and a simple difference in mood blows up into a complete mess that feels suffocating to an already suffering relationship.Dating Without Drama lends this advice: "When you’re in a committed relationship, you and your partner must wake up each day choosing to love each other, whether you’re feeling that warm-and-fuzzy feeling or are still annoyed from a disagreement you had the night before. You don’t expect that every day is going to be rainbows and roses… BUT you don’t just settle for being stuck in a rut, either. When you face challenges in your relationship (not just arguments, but boredom, too), you are each willing to put in some effort to strengthen your bond and turn things around." The old saying 'easier said then done' might be ringing in your ears right about now. But all too often we easily forget that being in a is romantic relationship cannot be seen as anything but something that has to be worked on just like all of the other relationships in your life. So what do you think? Is a good rut a good sign to bail? Or do you take it as a challenge to see whether the relationship is worth fighting for?
In the 1990's competitive eating was deemed a sport using the official title Major League Eating. The foods chosen to eat include a very large variety such as cupcakes, ribs, and most famously hot dogs. Every Fourth of July crowds gather at Coney Island to see the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. The winner of the contest this year ate 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes which can also be described as he ingested 20,000 calories in 600 seconds.Can this really be a sport? the contestants are definitely not what you would imagine, some of them are in great shape. But can a sport really include shoveling food as fast as you can especially when other countries are starving? Can eating food be a sport or should these "athletes" retire?
Reality T.V. has long been known for "fudging" the truth with rumors of scripts or planted ideas for fights so should we really be surprised when a reality show begins to clone people? This weeks "MasterChef" episode opened with a scene of an apparent huge crowd waiting to audition. But after a closer look it was noted that some of those waiting could be seen repeatedly throughout the audience because their images had been copied and pasted to give the illusion that the crowd was larger than it really was.Does any of this matter or has reality t.v. just become known for silly tactics to get ratings?
By now it is no secret that most magazine covers and big name photoshoots have the aid of photoshop. This practice, while at first shunned, has now been widely accepted as a way to cover up a blimish or quietly erase some cellulite. But what if the picture is an out-and-out lie completely? Recently a Twitter picture surfaced of the Denver Broncos' quarterback, Tim Tebow. The pictures were shot at a golfing range of the player taking a leisurely day to himself but what is unusual is the pictures seem to reveal Tebow in two very different states of shape. One shows him with large muscles about to rip through his shirt while the other shows him in a much more normal state. What makes the mystery even more sneaky is that the muscle clad picture was released by Tebow's business partner possibly trying to network. Maybe they are real and we all need to tip our hats to a very good-looking guy but if they do turn out to be fake maybe we need to rethink our use of photoshop.So does it matter if pictures are completely fabricated?

With the length and various steps most reality or talent shows go through it takes a lot to actually sit through an entire show. "Mobbed" was this great new show on FOX based on the flash mob craze that has been made famous with YouTube videos and goodbye songs to Mary Hart. The host was none other than Howie Mandel who would pick a person with a great secret to tell and use a flash mob to tell their suspecting "victims". The first episode was the usual, "I wanna propose to my girlfriend!" But it was really fun and had a lot of great moments. What seemed like an overdone and silly idea for a show actually turned into a program that the viewer got invested in and watched till the end. What made it all the better though were the previews for the rest of the season. There was the girl telling her significant other they were pregnant and the classic reunion but the best to come was the guy using a flash mob to tell his boss he was quitting. How awesome would that be? Should "Mobbed" stay in limbo or be dusted off for one more try?
With all of the hype and over-produced commercials, the X Factor will definitely have a big opening show as the general public will want to know what all of the commotion is about; but what then? With the surprisingly popular season that American Idol had, minus Simon Cowell, and the growing following for The Voice is there even enough room for another talent show?
