Kristen Bell had a little unintentional mishap on Wednesday when she posed for pictures on The TCL Chinese Theater’s red carpet. The 33-year-old actress was there for the première of her movie, “Veronica Mars.”
The pose was interrupted by a sudden gust of wind, happening at the exact time the photographer snapped his shot. Kristen quickly recovered from the malfunctioning wardrobe moment when she made some necessary adjustment – leg crossed, hands strategically placed in the right places and the proper facial response.
Her movie comes out on Friday. I won’t blame you for thinking that this sudden gust of wind was part of a publicity stunt to sell her upcoming movie. I won’t blame you for thinking that at all.
Stunning new information is being reported by Andy Pasztor at the Wall Street Journal: the Boeing engines on Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 which went missing on Saturday automatically downloaded information several hours after the plane was last seen on radar, indicating that it flew on to an unknown location.
After flying northeast on its scheduled path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, the aircraft’s transponders stopped emitting signals about an hour into the flight, at 1:30 am, when the plane was still south of Vietnam. According to a Malaysian air force official, the plane then made a turn to the west and headed back over the Malaysian peninsula and over the Strait of Malacca. At that point, Malaysian radar lost sight of the plane at around 2:40 am.
But now, American investigators and national security officials are saying that several hours after that last radar contact, the airplane’s Boeing engines automatically downloaded information as part of their normal operation, and that signal was picked up. Writes Pasztor:
The engines’ onboard monitoring system is provided by their manufacturer, Rolls-Royce, and it periodically sends bursts of data about engine health, operations and aircraft movements to facilities on the ground.
Rolls-Royce couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
As part of its maintenance agreements, Malaysia Airlines transmits its engine data live to Rolls-Royce for analysis. The system compiles data from inside the 777′s two Trent 800 engines and transmits snapshots of performance, as well as the altitude and speed of the jet.
The engines communicate with the ground every half hour, and now U.S. investigators believe the engines indicated the plane may have been flying up to five hours after taking off from Malaysia.
Austin Ruse was commenting on the so-called controversy surrounding a Duke University Freshman, who announced that she was a porn star. His comments came via the American Family Radio program he temporarily hosted for Sandy Rios. On the program, Ruse blamed “the hard left, human-hating people that run modern universities” for the Freshman’s decision, and went on to say that they should “all be taken out and shot.”
That is the nonsense that they teach in women’s studies at Duke University, this is where she learned this. The toxic stew of the modern university is gender studies, it’s “Sex Week,” they all have “Sex Week” and teaching people how to be sex-positive and overcome the patriarchy. My daughters go to a little private religious school and we pay an arm and a leg for it precisely to keep them away from all of this kind of nonsense. I do hope that they go to a Christian college or university and to keep them so far away from the hard left, human-hating people that run modern universities, who should all be taken out and shot.
“So many of these Fousey videos try to portray people as bad or heartless if they don’t stop and help anyone, but like seriously, people have their own problems to worry about and their own mouths or families mouths to feed… they can’t go giving money to every beggar they see. You can’t judge someone based on the fact of whether or not they give money to the poor. Good on the people who DO help, but nothing wrong with the people who don’t.”
That was a comment from one Anna Kruger, left on the latest YouTube video from FouseyTUBE. The video in question was originally based on one from Europe, which highlighted the best parts of human nature by showing the ways in which many stopped to help a similar homeless child posed on a very similar street. But Fousey found something very different when he set up the same film in America — the one place on Earth whose front-door sign reads “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses…”
One would think that most Americans, just out of simple human kindness and concern would stop for a moment to help this “homeless” child — or even to ask him what he was up to, or where his parents were. But you would be wrong. Fousey found that most people didn’t even give him a second glance. And those who did kept walking. The total take for the day: $2.19.
Meet the newest Internet sensation – Jervis the cross-eyed cat.
According to The Daily Mail, Jervis was abandoned at the side of a road in Oakland California when he was 4 months old. Rescued by cat lover Davis Kelly, Jervis, whose full name is Jervis P. Weasley, has now found Internet fame at the age of 5 years old.
“One day, I was just watching him jump for joy in his cage,” Kelly said, when explaining how happy the cat is. “I thought it was pure happiness.”
Stephen Colbert tried all he could not to promote healthcare.gov, but after it was all said and done, his efforts to leave healthcare.gov out of his show proved to be a more difficult task.
Colbert began talking about the appearance the president made on “Between Two Ferns” and the made up controversy that appearance sparked on the right with the usual culprits – Faux News – leading the way.
Colbert however, was quick to point out that although Faux went all out to denounce the president’s appearance, their efforts too failed. After the “Between Two Ferns” episode aired, healthcare.gov saw a huge spike in sign-ups.
So, Megyn Kelly of the Fox Information Network invited a member of the Obama administration on her Fox Information Show. Her guest, Ezekiel Emanuel knows firsthand all there is to know about the Affordable Care Act also called Obamacare, because he was an intricate part of the whole process in getting the healthcare to the American people. He went to the Fox Information Network to share some information with their viewers, but the Fox host wasn’t interested in informing anyone in their audience. She couldn’t get past the fact that enrollees in the new healthcare law is short of the initial figures the administration quoted.
Apparently, this information is more important to the Fox than real information about the law.
I mean, come on. You invite the man with the information and all you’re interested in is trying to figure out if the law is falling short of its initial figures? This is the exact informative news Fox News viewers crave… apparently.
There is always a new war for these Republicans to engage in, but rest assured, you will never, never, never, ever, ever see a Republican war on tax loopholes for the rich, or subsidies to the rich, or anything involving the rich. But if it benefits the poor, they declare war!
The New Jersey teenager who sued her parents for not paying her college tuition moved back into their home – but still hasn’t dropped the lawsuit, a lawyer for her parents said on Wednesday.
Rachel Canning, 18, returned to her parents’ house in Lincoln Park on Tuesday night, said attorney Angelo Sarno, who represents Sean and Elizabeth Canning.
“I’m not here to comment on what the motivation is for this event. She’s just a kid and she’s home,” Sarno said at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
But while the family may have hashed-out some of its emotional problems — which blew up after the teen voluntarily moved out last fall — the legal conflict is still “pending,” Sarno said.
The deal is that the lawsuit is still pending…There has never been a settlement,” Sarno added.

Rachel had been living with a powerful attorney, John Inglesino, a father of one of her friends, since October.
She moved out of her parents’ home because she didn’t want to abide by a curfew or stop hanging out with a bad-influence boyfriend , her parents have claimed.
A massive explosion followed by a fire at a pair of apartment buildings in upper Manhattan on Wednesday has left two people dead and at least 22 injured, officials say.
Two of the injured are hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, according to FDNY. Five others are in serious condition, but non-life threatening injuries, the fire department said. Fifteen others suffered minor injuries.
Rescuers are currently combing through bricks by hand in an effort to locate other possible victims.
“There are a number of people missing,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference. “I emphasize that those who are missing could well be safe in another location and just not contacted yet or reachable yet.”
The FDNY said it received a call shortly after 9:30 a.m. reporting a large explosion in the five-story apartment building on Park Avenue near 116th Street in East Harlem.
The blast smashed windows and damaged walls up to several blocks away from the explosion. Residents in the neighborhood told reporters they feared the earth-shaking boom was a terrorist attack. One man was so worried, he told CNN, that he rushed out of his home wearing nothing but his underwear.
“This is a tragedy of the worst kind,” de Blasio said. “There was no indication in time to save people.”
Based on preliminary information, the mayor said, “The only indication of danger came about 15 minutes earlier when a gas leak was reported to Con Edison. Con Ed dispatched a team to respond. The explosion occurred before that team could arrive.
Con Edison spokesman Bob McGee said that the company received a call from a resident of an adjacent building, reporting that “he smelled gas inside his apartment, but thought the odor could be coming from outside.” Two Con Ed crews were dispatched at 9:15 a.m. but arrived just after the explosion.
Police, including some wearing gas masks, “handed out medical masks to residents and onlookers because of the thick white smoke that shrouded the area.”
The fire department responded with 44 units and more than 250 firefighters to the five-alarm incident. According to public records, the address that firefighters initially responded to — 1646 Park Ave. — was built in 1910.
Reached by phone, an employee of the man who owns the building told Yahoo News that she didn’t know what might have sparked the blast. The five-story building is home to four floors of apartments and Absolute Piano on the street level. The employee said everyone at the piano shop was safe.
According to public records, the neighboring building — 1644 Park Ave. — is home to apartments and the street-level Spanish Christian Church.

“I’ve never had anything this horrific that’s happened in my community since I’ve been in Washington,” Rep. Charles Rangel, who represents Harlem, told NBC’s New York affiliate. “This is a very serious thing. It’s our community’s 9/11, even though we don’t know how it started.”
Some witnesses described a chaotic scene.
“The whole building shook,” one nearby worker told the New York Post.
“I saw a lady running with no shoes on,” another told Agence France-Press. “It was crazy. It was like a war zone. … I thought it was an earthquake. I got calls from my family who felt it too and that was all the way uptown.”
The explosion occurred near elevated train tracks, and Metro North train service into and out of New York’s Grand Central Terminal was suspended.
According to the White House, President Obama was briefed on the incident in New York by Lisa Monaco, assistant to the president for homeland Security and counterterrorism.
Photos posted to Twitter showed smoke and dust coming from the neighborhood north of Central Park, and firefighters searching the rubble for victims.

It’s pretty obvious that the Yankees will retire Derek Jeter’s number this season. After what we saw last year with Mariano Rivera, we can figure that Jeter is in store for a day just like Mo got.
As soon as the captain announced his retirement, tickets for obvious milestone games, skyrocketed in price. Opening Day saw an increase. The last home game went through the roof. Even the last game of the season at Fenway Park got up around $250 for standing room tickets.
However, the most important day is one that is not set in stone yet. Derek Jeter Day will be the day the yankees immortalize Jeter’s number in monument park and thanks to last year’s Mariano Rivera Day, we can make a pretty good educated guess.
Judging by how the Yankees like to do things, I am putting my money on Sunday, September 21st against the Blue Jays. That day has seen a hike in ticket sales as well due to the fact that people like me figure that to be the day but tickets are still pretty affordable. There are many sites with tickets still available but my go to site is www.VIVIDSEATS.com. Click on that link to go right to the game on September 21st.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Flames and smoke were sent billowing into the air after an explosion leveled two buildings in East Harlem Wednesday, killing one person and injuring more than a dozen others.
It happened around 9 a.m. on Park Avenue on 116th Street, the FDNY said. One of the buildings that collapsed had a piano repair shop with apartments above. The second building housed a church
The cause of the blast is still unclear, but Con Edison said crews had responded to the area on a report of a gas odor just prior to the explosion.
