Who Is the Most Overpaid?

Want to feel poorer than you already do? The top 10 highest-paid TV actresses earned a total of $94 million between May 2010 and May 2011, Forbes reports. With so much money going around, why couldn't we find anything decent to watch last night?
SODAHEAD SLIDESHOW: See the highest paid TV actresses.
Forbes points out that women on TV make a lot less than movie stars (the top three women in film earned $88 million combined), but that's not really a consolation. And then there's the question of who makes the most. Tina Fey and Eva Longoria tie for first place on Forbes' list, with each actress making $13 million between May 2010 and May 2011. Who said you have to be blonde to make it in Hollywood?
Fey also serves as producer and head writer on "30 Rock" in addition to starring on the show, so you can't say she's not earning her pay. But the critically acclaimed show is still struggling for ratings. As for Longoria, she has some lucrative endorsements, but does anyone still watch "Desperate Housewives"?

From Fey to Longoria to Courteney Cox, let us know: Who is the most overpaid TV actress?

Witness Says Conrad Murray Asked for CPR Equipment Before Singer's Death Read more

An attorney for the promoter of Michael Jackson's final concerts said Wednesday the singer's personal physician asked the company for life-saving equipment just days before the pop superstar's death.
Kathy Jorrie, who works for concert giant AEG Live, testified at the involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray that she questioned some of the doctor's requests, which also included the possibility of hiring a second doctor to assist him.
"Dr. Murray told me Michael Jackson was perfectly healthy, in excellent condition," Jorrie testified.
She said Murray told her not to worry about Jackson's condition.
"He's great," she recounted the doctor telling her in a conversation the day before Jackson's death.
Murray asked for a CPR machine in case one wasn't available at the concert venue at London's O2 arena, Jorrie explained.
Prosecutors allege Murray caused Jackson's death by providing him with a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives without the proper lifesaving equipment or skills.
Other testimony came from Jackson's former personal assistant, Michael Amir Williams, who recounted a 35-second phone conversation with Murray on the day Jackson died.
"He said `Get here right away, Mr. Jackson had a bad reaction. Get somebody up here immediately,"' Williams told the jury.
He said the doctor never told him to call 911 or described Jackson's condition.
Williams said he arrived at Jackson's mansion just as the singer was being loaded into an ambulance. He saw Murray, who he described as "frantic."
Earlier in the day, a promoter told jurors that Jackson appeared strong during one of the final rehearsals for the highly anticipated comeback concerts.
Paul Gongaware, an executive for AEG Live, said Jackson seemed engaged and energetic during the rehearsal just two days before he died.
Prosecutors called Gongaware to demonstrate the importance of the concerts and in an apparent attempt to show that both the singer and his physician were deeply engaged in preparations for the show before Jackson died on June 25, 2009.
Gongaware also testified that he saw Murray at one of Jackson's rehearsals after people affiliated with the planned concerts complained that the singer had been missing some of the sessions.
Prosecutors wrapped up their direct questioning of Gongaware before defense attorney Ed Chernoff briefly questioned the executive.
Under the cross-examination, Gongaware acknowledged AEG is being sued by Jackson's mother for negligent supervision of Murray when he worked with Jackson.
Jorrie also testified about drafting a contract for Murray to work as Jackson's personal physician.
At one point in negotiations, Murray requested his contract be modified to allow him to hire another physician in case he was tired or unavailable while Jackson was performing in London, she testified.
"He wanted to make sure that there was somebody else available to be of assistance," Jorrie said.
In opening statements Tuesday, Deputy District Attorney David Walgren said Murray delayed summoning emergency crews and lied to doctors and medics when he failed to reveal he had been giving Jackson the medications to try to help the entertainer sleep.
Chernoff claimed Jackson gave himself a fatal dose of medication in a desperate attempt to get some sleep.
He said Murray had been trying to wean Jackson off propofol, but the entertainer kept requesting it on the day he died.
"Michael Jackson started begging," Chernoff said. "When Michael Jackson told Dr. Murray, `I have to sleep. They will cancel my performance,' he meant it."
Prosecutors rejected Murray's version and told jurors the Houston-based cardiologist also had a tremendous stake in Jackson appearing in the concerts.
The doctor had initially asked to be paid $5 million a year for working with Jackson, but Gongaware said he immediately rejected the proposal. Instead, Murray accepted an offer to become Jackson's doctor for $150,000 a month -- a sum he was never paid because his contract hadn't been signed before Jackson's death.
Murray has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face up to four years in prison and have to relinquish his medical license.

How I felt when my father wanted to remarry —Jimi Odukoya

　　Jimi Odukoya is the second-born of the late popular televangelist, Pastor Bimbo Odukoya, who died in a plane crash in 2005. In this interview with YEMISI AKERELE, he talks about some interesting issues, including what he misses most about his late mother
　　Do you sometimes receive messages or calls from people about how your late mum had impacted on their lives in one way or another?
Yes, I always receive calls and messages from people about how my mum’s messages had helped them or changed their lives. Sometimes, they share their experiences with me on the Internet or on the streets. In fact, many, especially the singles, usually call to tell me how her messages had helped them, spiritually and physically.
Could you recall the particular message by your mum that had shaped your life?
Oh! That is an interesting question. I can’t really mention any particular one. But beyond this, her lifestyle really motivated me. This is because before she would go out to preach to people, she would first preach the same message to her children. So, for me, a lot of her messages had helped me greatly in life. She worked for the Lord, so her lifestyle really motivated me. I also want to do my best, so that I can make her proud.
How did you receive the news of the death of your mum?
It was very pathetic. I was in school then and she told me she was going to pay me a visit. The last time I spoke with her was on a Thursday and the last time I saw her was in June 2005. So, it was shocking when I heard the news that she died in a plane crash on her way for a ministration two days after our telephone conversation.
What kind of person was she?
She was a lovely and warm person. Also, she was very friendly and was good to us all. So, my father had no regrets bringing her into the family.
Okay, how did you feel when you learnt that your father wanted to remarry?
Honestly, I was excited because he is not too old to get married again. Yeah, he was married to mother and they both loved each other. But now that she is no more, he has to remarry. Apart from this, the Bible says that a man can remarry if his wife dies. My mother also made it clear in all her messages.
But the woman is from South Africa?
There shouldn’t be any discrimination about tribes. I believe that what really matters most is the love between the couple. Besides, what a Nigerian can do, she can also do. So, I am okay with that.
Did your parents influence your choice of being a pastor?
It’s definitely from my heart. More so, I was brought up in a Christian home. A lot of people think that we must be pastors because our father is a pastor. No, it is not so. My parents brought me to church and preached the words of God to me. But I was called by God to work for Him.
Your mother always advised people to share their problems with her. So, aren’t there challenges you are facing as a person now?
Well, I have some people that I confide in. I am not a kind of person that talks to everybody. Any time I have a problem, I share it with my
friends and some pastors and we will all pray and talk together because nobody is perfect.
How is life like as a pastor?
Well, I think being a pastor and a youth is all by the grace of God. But before you can come on the stage to preach the words of God, you should try and search yourself first. The Bible says you should work with your might and spirit and I don’t think being in Christ is boring. I have always been meditating on my Bible by letting the words of God be in me.
I understand you are also into music?
Yes, I am into music and business. I am working on some songs, and by God’s grace, it will be out soon.
How was your growing up like?
Oh! It was fun because I grew up in a family where there was (still is) so much love. I have my father, mother and sister who loved me. So,
what else do I want when I got all I wanted?

How Patience Ozokwor and Mercy Johson Made Up

Although it was a thing of public knowledge that veteran movie maker Patience Ozokwor popularly called Mama G and screen goddess, Mercy Johnson engaged in a verbal abuse that led to physical attack on set of a movie over a year ago,not everybody is aware that the two talented people have settled their differences.
According to the information gathered,they settled their rift few months back,and Mercy honored her with the very respectable title as Mother of the Day at her wedding last month.
However,inside sources have made full of their peace making and why Mama G accepted the offer to attend her wedding.
Recall that many months after their fight,other actresses who perceived Mama G as their godmother took over the rift and started engaging in verbal war with Mercy and threatened to fight her physically anywhere they found her.
While all these were brewing,Mercy was said to have cried bitterly to her close friends and sent messages across to Mama G to stop spreading falsehood against her and inciting other actresses to fight her.
As all her attempts to extinguish the fire peacefully failed,Mercy was said to have cried to an elderly woman who hails from her state and have treated her like a daughter for many years.The elderly woman we gathered told her to be strong as the whole industry can never turn against her over one woman.
The elderly woman revealed to Mercy that Mama G will later become her very good friend.After getting the words of encouragement from the woman,Mercy returned to the industry and sent intimidating messages across to Mama G insisting that if she refused to desist from her actions,she (Mercy) will report Mama G to her powerful godmother who will settle the dispute in another way that goes beyond what meets the eye.
Subsequently,the veteran make-believe business woman,who is said to trust only in her prayers and God,was frightened so much that she allegedly went to Mercy’s family house and apologized to her for peace to reign.Eventually,Mercy accepted her extended hands of friendship and honored her with Mother of the Day during her wedding.
On the other hand,Mama G was said to have accepted this invitation to further strengthen the peaceful bond now existing between them.

Genevieve, Omoni Oboli Lose Out At AMAA Awards 2011

Grandma, we hate it so much when your things are sticking out like this, especially when they have reached drooping age. We don’t blame them, after long years of active service they are long overdue for retirement. However, this colour separation you call make-up… na wa o!With all due respect, mumsie, your total look is whacked. You are to pay a fine of N5 million.
Metallic no-no
There is no doubt about it, wearing a metallic dress is trendy; but what’s wrong is when you came all out in all the colours of the rainbow. If we were warned earlier about flashlights and stuffs like that, we would have treaded softly. But it seems you forgot what Section 452 of the 1980 constitution says about metallic colours. It says: “Do not complicate the look by wearing too many accessories, or you’ll end up looking like a mobile streetlight. Simple is the name of the game with metallic colours. Let the dress be the focus.” For making our lives miserable, you are mandated to pay a fine of N6.5 million.
Aunty!
We know you are still in active service, but you don’t have to rub our faces in it. Please, you need to give room to upcoming chics, because no matter how hard you try, the clock is ticking very fast. Next time get those balloons wrapped up. Our final judgment: Trash! With all the authority bestowed on this court of law, you are fined N7.5 million.
We need straws here!
There is no doubt that those bouncing castles need special recognition. No wonder one of the witnesses told us he was tempted to get a straw because he thought it was a cocktail served on a table. But unfortunately, our efficient fashion police picked you up. Goldie, there’s nothing flattering about this and we think that as a role model to our teenage daughters, you should slow down. You are fined N6 million plus 500 hours of community service.
Immoral code
The last time we checked the moral code, it has not been amended and we see no reason why you should be dressed like this. An expose of your milk factory in a public place is an abuse of the law. You are hereby sentenced to 308 months at Ilale in Sokoto State and you would be mandated to milk the cows with the women. This sentence will run concurrently.
Haba!
Mummy, we think you should know better than wearing white underwear with white dress. Haba! This is a terrible fashion abuse and you are hereby found guilty. Since you are a first time offender, you will be placed on style probation and you are to attend two hours of style and trend education everyday.

Bill Clinton book on economy out in November

NEW YORK (AP) — For Bill Clinton, it is again the economy, stupid.
The former president has finished writing a new book, "Back to Work," which comes out in November. In a telephone interview Thursday with The Associated Press, he called the 200-page book a guide to the current economic slump, how it was caused and how to recover.
"I actually started thinking about it (the book) after the 2010 election, because I did 130 events and after every event people would come up to me and say, 'I didn't know this,' 'I didn't know that,'" Clinton said.
"It was like the 21st-century version of the 1994 election, in which there was this enormously effective campaign against government, as if the government were responsible for all of this."
"Back to Work" is Clinton's third book since leaving office, following his million-selling memoir "My Life" and a work on philanthropy and community activism, "Giving." As with his previous books, the publisher is Alfred A. Knopf and the editor is Robert Gottlieb, whose other authors include Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Robert Caro and Nobel laureate Toni Morrison. Deals for all three books were negotiated by Washington attorney Robert Barnett.
Clinton said Thursday that he began writing "Back to Work" in the spring, basing it on notes he has been compiling for years. He said he spends about an hour and a half each day studying the economy and wants the book to reinforce President Obama's proposals, including his recent jobs plan and call for raising taxes on millionaires.
Clinton said that Obama had been doing a "good job" communicating his ideas, but that he was up against a "chorus" of opponents who don't like his ideas and don't like government.
"I hope I can do things in this book that a president doesn't have time to do and shouldn't be doing," said Clinton, whose book will cover what he calls a 30-year debate between government and anti-government forces.
Clinton has been especially popular lately, if only because his presidency was a time of economic expansion and low unemployment. He has also been open about his ideas for recovery. In a recent appearance on NBC's "Today," he said focusing on mortgage debt problems was essential.
On Thursday, he cited a "disconnect" between the real world and the current political debate, saying, "If you start with a framework that is intensely ideological, if the government is the source of all the problems, then you don't get to the right questions."
According to a statement issued by Knopf, Clinton's new book will offer "specific recommendations on how we can put people back to work and increase bank lending and corporate investment, double our exports, restore our manufacturing base and create new businesses."
Knopf announced a first print run of 300,000.

After career success, Chenoweth is ready for love

NEW YORK (AP) — Broadway? Check. TV? Check. Films? Check. Music? Books? Check those, too.
Professionally speaking, Kristin Chenoweth is at the top of her game. This year alone, in one week, she sang for President Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II and Oprah Winfrey, she said in an interview last week with The Associated Press.
Recently added to that list was a performance at the Grand Ole Opry, which Chenoweth said tickled her Southern relatives.
"If I leave my mark on this world, hopefully people will say, 'Wow, she did a lot of different things,'" Chenoweth said.
But the one thing the 43-year-old Chenoweth says is missing from her list of accomplishments is finding Mr. Right and settling down.
"I want to be married. I feel finally ready for that," she said. "Possibly (becoming) a mom someday, even if it's to animals. My goals might be different than doing all these amazing career things. I think the next chapter will be focusing more on my personal life."
On that note, Chenoweth said she can relate to a song by Dolly Parton called "Sacrifice."
"She talks about how much she's given up. She's given up relationships, being home with her family, missing out with her husband, not having a child, all of that I can relate to," Chenoweth said. "So, maybe this second chapter in my life will be different in that way. But, I'll always sing. Whoever that man is, He's got to accept that music is like my arms. I can't live without (them)."
Chenoweth's latest music endeavor is a country music album called "Some Lessons Learned," released last week.
She moved to Nashville for a couple of months to record the album. Chenoweth, who won a Tony in 1999 for "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown," said there are similarities between country music and theater.
"They're both story and character driven," she said. "So of course I like both."
Up next for Chenoweth is the TV show "Good Christian Belles." Think: "Desperate Housewives" but in the Bible Belt.
The ABC show, which doesn't yet have a premiere date, is about five Christian women living in Texas.
Chenoweth, a Christian, said there's a misconception about Christianity: "that we don't have any problems, we really judge people harshly." But she said her character is actually the villain on the show.
"She's a very judgmental woman. She stirs it up and then prays for everybody," Chenoweth said. "So these are the characters I grew up with."
Chenoweth also made waves as April Rhodes, a boozy former glee club star on the hit Fox show "Glee." The role earned her two Emmy nominations. If she's invited back and her schedule allows, she said she'd like to reprise the role.
"(The character) is a very fun train wreck. Couldn't be more dissimilar to myself," she said. "And she likes her box of wine. Who can't relate to that?"

Nothing special about 'Killer Elite

Head butts would seem to hurt, right? That's clearly the point of them, but it would seem to be just as painful to be the butter as the buttee.
In "Killer Elite," this is probably the most primal method of attack on display, but even the noisy intensity and frequency of the skull bashings — and pistol whippings and gut punches — don't register as anything beyond generic action-picture violence. The fact that director and co-writer Gary McKendry has shot all these brawls with the usual shaky cam and cut them in quick, choppy fashion only adds to how forgettable the film is.
And you'd think that any movie starring Robert De Niro, Clive Owen and Jason Statham would be one you'd want to remember. "Killer Elite" allows them to show off some of the presence and personality that made these men major movie stars, but ultimately they're just cogs in a clichéd revenge tale.
Statham stars as Danny, the typical special-ops, killing-machine-for-hire Statham tends to play. At the film's start in 1979, he and his mentor, Hunter (De Niro), are lying in wait for their target in an industrial section of Mexico. The assignment goes horribly wrong and Danny swears — swears! — this is it for him, the last one, he's done. But we all know how these things turn out: There has to be that tried-and-true One Last Job. Otherwise, there would be no movie.
　　A year later, Hunter has been abducted by a dying sheikh and is being held in Oman. Danny must flee the pastoral idyll of the rural Australian valley where he's ensconced himself with his beautiful girlfriend (Yvonne Strahovski) to perform the duty that will ensure Hunter's freedom. Danny is ordered to kill the men responsible for the deaths of the sheikh's three sons, but he has to get videotaped confessions from all three, and he has to make their deaths look like accidents.
No problem: Danny amasses the obligatory rag-tag team of rogues and is on his way. But they have to infiltrate the British Secret Air Service to get the job, which draws the attention of a shadowy protective society known as The Feather Men. ("Killer Elite" is based on a book called "The Feather Men," which supposedly was based on a true story, by Ranulph Fiennes, who appears as a character later on.)
This makes Danny the target of the secret group's main enforcer, a former SAS solider himself named Spike (Owen), and the usual shootouts and car chases ensue. Even with the cheesy mustache and one bad eye that are meant to signify that this man has lived a hard, dangerous life, it's impossible to disguise Owen's intense good looks and charisma. At the same time, "Killer Elite" doesn't take advantage of Owen's capacity for depth; he is driven, maybe a little tormented as evidenced by the glass coffee table he smashes, and that's about it.
When Statham and Owen finally meet in the showdown you've been waiting for, it's rendered in such dizzying, adrenalized style that it's hard to tell who's doing what to whom. Additionally, McKendry favors a steely gray color scheme that, in theory, is meant to reflect the cold-heartedness of these characters and their world, but actually just smothers everything in a bland sameness. One important yet obscured scene takes place in the snow, at night, in the middle of nowhere.
Statham, like the film itself, is muscular and efficient. But he seems awfully comfortable playing this kind of part by now, and he has such a brash, intriguing presence, he makes you wonder what else he'd be capable of doing if he stretched and challenged himself.
De Niro stays locked up for big chunks of the movie but when we do see him, he radiates the ease and comfort of a man who has nothing to prove. And he gets to fire a machine gun, which is probably a lot of fun when you're pushing 70, and might make "Killer Elite" more memorable for him than it will be for the audience.
"Killer Elite," an Open Road release, is rated R for strong violence, language, and some sexuality/nudity. Running time: 116 minutes. Two stars out of four.

The Thing Prequel Poster Wants to Come In Out of the Cold

Not much has been seen of the upcoming prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 masterpiece, The Thing, but what we have seen certainly has got us interested. With only a handful of stills released, it is with rabid anticipation that we lay our eyes on the official movie poster.
Keeping the same title as the earlier movie, The Thing chronicles the events in the doomed Norwegian camp whose aftermath is only glimpsed at in John Carpenter’s movie.
The Thing is due to appear in October 2011, and stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eric Christian Olsen, Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ulrich Thomsen and Kim Bubbs.

At Emmys, 'FNL' finally lands in the end zone

"Friday Night Lights" may be over, but it finally scored a touchdown — or two — at the Emmys.
The long-acclaimed but seldom honored series won both best actor in a drama series for Kyle Chandler and best writing for a drama series for Jason Katims. Both were big, flashy awards in competitive categories and a real surprise for "Friday Night Lights," which concluded earlier this year after five ratings-challenged seasons.
The gleeful shock of the show's cast and supporters inside Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre Sunday night could be heard on the Fox broadcast, and surely similar celebrations where transpiring across "Friday Night Lights" Nation.
The wins amounted to a late but deserving coronation for "Friday Night Lights": off the air, but called back together for one final dance in the end zone.

Over five seasons, "FNL" built a fervent fan base for its humanistic portrayal of high school football and the many inhabitants of Dillon, Texas. It needed an unusual deal with DirecTV to remain on the air on NBC, but "FNL" continued to survive, even as much of its cast went on to other projects.
The show's only previous Emmy Award was for casting, in 2007.
Chandler, 46, had twice previously been nominated, last year for "FNL" and in 2005 for a guest appearance on "Grey's Anatomy." On "FNL," he played coach Eric Taylor who, along with his wife, Tami (Connie Britton, who was nominated), made up the moral backbone of Dillon. He starred in "Super 8" this summer.
Chandler was a definite underdog Sunday night, going up against Steve Buscemi for "Boardwalk Empire" and Jon Hamm for "Mad Men."
"Let me thank the people of Austin, Texas, who welcomed us into their homes ... and brought the show to life," said a clearly shocked Chandler.
The show put a premium on naturalism, shooting in and around Austin, frequently trailing actors with multiple cameras and allowing room for improvisation.
Some had wondered whether "Friday Night Lights" might squeak out a win in best drama. The theory went that votes would be split between heavyweights "Mad Men" and "Boardwalk Empire," allowing "FNL" an upset victory. But that was always more of a Hail Mary pass than a likely possibility: "Mad Men" took the prize.
As showrunner, Katims oversaw the show's unique production. Accepting his award Sunday night at the Emmys, he concluded his remarks, inevitably and fittingly, with the battle cry of the Dillon Panthers.
"Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose."

Britney Spears Sings, Dances Into Record Books

Her career has seen its share of ups and downs, but pop princess Britney Spears is definitely back on top as she headlines this week's 411 Playlist.
Billboard.com reports that Spears' ' "I Wanna Go" has her dancing all the way to the record books. Her single gives her the distinct honor of being the artist with the longest span of number one hits on Billboard's Mainstream Top 40 chart. Britney's reign started twelve years ago with "Baby One More Time."
The pop diva's 'B In The Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2' is set for release on October 11th.
On to a man who is no stranger to breaking records himself, the late Michael Jackson is to be honored in Wales with "Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert." The star-studded event includes everyone from host Jamie Foxx to Christina Aquilera and Smokey Robinson.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the singer's manslaughter trial is expected to begin in the last week of September. Jackson's former doctor is accused of supplying the King of Pop with a lethal dose of surgical anesthetics.
Whitney Houston has been subject to tabloid fodder for alleged drug-use herself, but the diva may be making a comeback. The singer's publicist confirms that the singer is in talks to return to the silver screen in the remake of "Sparkle." Houston made a name for herself as an actress after her role in the 1992 hit, "The Bodyguard."
And while Houston looks to make a bigscreen comeback, heavy metal is working its way back into the mainstream. September 14th was no ordinary day in New York City because heavy metal rockers, Anthrax, Matallica, Slayer and Megadeath (aka the Big Four) invaded Yankee Stadium. Before the big show, Anthrax sad down with Fox 411 and talked about their first album in eight years, "Worship Music." The band dubbed the new material as a "true heavy metal album." Drummer and guitarist Charlie Benante added that with the return of Joey Belladonna the record sounds like "classic Anthrax."
"Worship Music" is currently available.
To hear more from Anthrax along with "Idol" alum Brooke White, be sure to click play to start this week's 411 Playlist!

It’s been years since his split with Jennifer Aniston

It’s been years since his split with Jennifer Aniston, but Brad Pitt is still talking about his ex-wife, this time calling his existence with her “pathetic.”
In an interview with Parade magazine, the “Moneyball” star says he is much happier now with the mother of his six children, Angelina Jolie.
HOT SHOTS: Jen Aniston.
“I spent the 90s trying to hide out, trying to duck the full celebrity cacophony. I started to get sick of myself sitting on a couch, holding a joint, hiding out. It started to feel pathetic,” he said. “It became very clear to me that I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn’t living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage [to Aniston] had something to do with. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t.”



Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Ouch.
Pitt continued the interview by gushing about his life with Jolie, with whom he was rumored to have an affair before the demise of his marriage to Aniston.
“One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom,” he said. “She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her.”
HOT SHOTS: Angelina Jolie
Pitt added that he is very satisfied with his new life.
“I put much more emphasis on being a satisfied man,” he says of his life. “I’m satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much. A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.”

Jane Lynch rolls out red carpet as Emmy host

　　LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jane Lynch didn't trip over the red carpet while rolling it out Wednesday morning in anticipation of Sunday's Emmy ceremony. Despite not seeing "daylight in a couple of days" and dreaming she might experience a "face plant" as the show's host, Lynch pulled it off without a hitch.
　　"I don't even know where I am anymore," she joked to dozens of photographers and reporters who gathered for the unveiling with the show's executive producer Mark Burnett and TV academy chairman John Shaffner.
For the fourth year, the show will be held at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. The 390-foot red carpet — more like a red sidewalk, really — will canvass the entire plaza across the street from the Staples Center.
After the show, Shaffner said the red carpet and the solar panels powering it will be donated to local charities.
"People will get to live on red carpet," he boasted.
Lynch teased that the 63rd annual Primetime Emmys would feature an appearance by such members of MTV's "Jersey Shore" gang as Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Paul "DJ Pauly D" Delvecchio and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.

　　"If any of our winners go long, they'll be gently singing them off," promised Lynch.

　　She said the show will also star a chorus of singing TV actors who will introduce the award categories. They might melodically move the show along, too.
　　Inside the Nokia Theatre, the sweeping set was coming together. On one side of the stage, an enormous Emmy statue was showered in glittering charms. On the other side, a raised platform was surrounded by multiple screens. At the center was a voluminous circular screen doubling as an entryway.
"It's a very big stage at the Nokia," said Burnett. "It feels important. I like the colors — reds and golds, warm tones that make you feel invited and positive. Then, you drop in great musical moments and fun. That's the tone and pace. There's too much to fit in."
Does that mean the show will go over its three-hour running time? "Hey, has it ever not?"
Place cards on the chairs in front of the stage's black-and-gold stairs illustrated that Hugh Laurie, Betty White and Chris Colfer will have the best seats in the house: front-row center.
Other nominees with sweet front-row seat assignments included Jon Cryer, Steve Carell, Mariska Hargitay, Connie Britton, Kyle Chandler, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett.

If you love reading biographies, you will find a lot of good people are very poor during his lifetime.
To talk about the most famous Impressionist painter Van Gogh who right now has one of his paintings sold for several millions of dollars, but, when he was alive, he's a painting with a meal does not return for money and often suffer hungry, impoverished life, and finally insane, committed suicide at the age of 37 shot. To be on the family, his family is Europe's largest art dealer, control almost all the European art market. As a painter, he has unique facilities, like those mediocre artists can cater to fashion as to make money and become a rich man, but he bothered to do so, he said, he may be able to spend his life in the only very stupid people to draw very crappy picture above, do not mean that the artist serves decent price, but try to find an undiscovered New World. Indeed, Van Gogh's works for us with his discovery of a new world, one all things in accordance with the same rhythm in the sun dance in the world.

I am not advocating an ascetic philosophy. The problem is, if a person is too much focus on material comforts, they are bound to pay a spiritual price. Person's physical needs are very limited, nothing more than food and clothing, here's is super-luxury, and who is not up to the luxury end. Is a natural need for food and clothing, luxury is the ever-growing desire to stimulate the market up. You have been accustomed to ride a bike, do not think there is regret, but, when you see a lot of people around the opening on the car, you will think you lack car, it is necessary also to buy one. Rich can always be more, in fact, than you must be rich people, so you will never meet, had to earn more money. In this way, money has become your sole purpose. Even if you are a painter, where you also spare some real artistic pursuit? Even if you are a scholar, where you will care about science and conscience?
Therefore, since ancient times, all the sages have advocated a simple lifestyle, physical desire for an improper purpose is a slave, to keep the spirit of freedom. Roman philosopher Seneca said it well: "free people to the hut for the bedroom, the slave was under the shelter in the marble and gold." Plato also said: "The chest of gold who is not living in the Golden Roof, the following . "or words of Confucius:" The gentleman, how ugly can that be? "I really like about Socrates, a legend, the title of" division in the army, "the wandering philosopher in Athens on the market, see After those amazing array of stalls: "There are many things I do not need Oh!" Indeed, a love of spiritual things, people must be indifferent to material luxury, but a person content with a simple life, even if he is not philosopher, pretty close up.
