Lady Gaga GREATEST LIVE PERFORMANCE Judas

Julianne Moore Will Play Sarah Palin in - Game Change

After a stint on 30 Rock as Jack Donaghy's high school girlfriend revealed Julianne Moore was more than capable of playing people who have accents from interesting places like Boston, it makes sense now that she'd be chosen to play Sarah Palin in HBO Films' adaptation of John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's book, Game Change.

As a chronicle of John McCain's campaign for the presidency in 2008, the book also covers what went into the process of selecting Palin as a running mate and provides insight as to what it was like for McCain to lose the general election to Obama. Surely Moore will do a killer portrayal of the Alaskan hockey mom's mannerisms (one of which in the past has been cradling fish hearts in her hands), but she quite possibly might have to go back to TGS if she's looking to get help in nailing that accent. 

Highest earning reality star

As if Kim Kardashian wasn’t enough of a hot commodity. Kim came out on top in a recent poll of the highest earning reality TV stars. All of the Kardashian sisters arrived snuggly within the top ten, but Kim took the cake. The list was derived from a variety of industry insiders who concluded that Kim’s 2010 take was roughly $6 million. This comes from a variety of endorsement deals, party-hosting gigs, sponsored tweets, and licensing deals with perfume and clothing companies.

I have to go back for one more day of re-shoots - Tom Felton

'Harry Potter' co-star Tom Felton has been called back for 'The Deathly Hallows' re-shoots - for one day, it has emerged. The actor now regrets teasing his co-stars about returning to the set for re-shoots because he will now be joining them to help complete the film. 

"I have to go back for one more day of re-shoots. So I'm going back in a couple weeks to do, literally, one more day," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

"I knew that Dan, Rupert and Emma were called in and I was enjoying that - I was joking that,"Oh, I got it on the first take so I don't need any of that, going back to do it again'. And here I am eating my own words and going back to redo it," he said.

"They just want to get a couple of extra camera shots. I don't think anything was done wrong, they just want to cover it more. It could literally be a case of panning the shot five degrees to the left or whatever just to make sure the CGI shots work. So I''m going to go and serve my duty," he added.

Katy Perry's Honeymoon

Katy Perry has had a rather painful beginning to her marriage as the pop star was bit by a spider on her honeymoon. 

The 'Teenage Dream' hitmaker headed to the Maldives for a romantic break with husband Russell Brand after their nuptials in India on October 23.

But the newlyweds' fun was short-lived. Within days of arriving, the singer developed a nasty rash after a tropical spider sunk its fangs into Perry's leg, reported Contactmusic.

The 26-year-old singer sought medical advice after the spider bite at the couple's plush suite in the Soneva Fushi resort. She was put on a course of medication which is said to have left her exhausted.

You Only Live Once - Katie Price

Glamour model Katie Price has launched her new book ‘You Only Live Once’ and to everyone’s surprise it is dedicated to none other than her ex-hubby singer Peter Andre. But it seems it has left the cage fighter Alex Reid upset.

In her fourth autobiography, the first page is dedicated to Andre,  as it says, Peter took her ‘on a wonderful journey of self-discovery’ and that he turned her ‘from a cocooned chrysalis into the butterfly’.

 "I hope you find the happiness you have always been searching for," she said.

However, Alex was left disappointed as he got his place in the second paragraph with little description.

Kate said: "I dedicate this book firstly to my ex Peter Andre for helping create two of the most amazing people in my life: Junior and Princess.”

 "I also thank him for taking me on a wonderful journey of self-discovery. I've turned from a cocooned chrysalis into the butterfly that I am today," she said.

She also thanked her hubby, Alex and said, “To my beloved husband Alex, who has stuck by me through my torment and darkest hour and respects me for my individuality as I do his.”

Most Expensive Cigar Ever Made

Gurkha Black Dragon

Price : - $1,150.00 per cigar

A peaty and leathery cigar from Gurkha, the Black Dragon is an exclusive Honduran blend made from select fillers, which create a rich cigar with a medium body.

The Black Dragon story began in 2006 when it hit the market with the hefty price tag of $1,150.00 per cigar, the most expensive cigar ever made. Only 5 hand-carved camel bone boxes of 100 cigars were produced, making this stick very, very limited.  The blend included extremely old and rare tobaccos collected from all corners of the world.  To make the Black Dragon more accessible to cigar enthusiasts throughout the world, a new version was recently released in 2007.  

This new blend has a similar flavor and uses similar tobaccos, but does not cost nearly as much as its predecessor.  Notes of earth and leather are strongly noticeable and combine nicely with a medium body that has some kick, but is not overwhelmingly powerful.  Like all Gurkhas, the new Black Dragon comes packaged in extremely attractive boxes, making them look almost as good as they taste.  The Black Dragon is another fine addition to the Gurkha portfolio and one that is also highly recommended.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift (born December 13, 1989) is the next big thing in country music. She hails from Pennsylvania and has a younger brother named Austin.Personally, she's been romantically linked to Joe Jonas and is a good pal of Kellie Pickler. She actually taught herself to play guitar.Yes, unlike some (okay, most) music stars of today, Taylor Swift is actually impressive!

With her first number-one hit "Our Song," at age 18 years and 9 days, Swift became the fifth teenaged female singer to top the Billboard magazine Hot Country Songs chart. Aside from singing talent, as you can tell, she's a major looker. In fact, Swift was ranked #57 on the Maxim magazine Hot 100 of 2008 list.

At almost six feet tall and with curly, lone blonde hair, Taylor Swift might have a modeling career ahead of her. For now, though, she's content to be dominating the country charts and making a major name for herself in the music industry.

My community service is really important to me- said Hilton.

Socialite Paris Hilton has put her partying days behind her to focus on her love life and community service.

The 29-year-old heiress is now keen on giving back to the community via charity, reported Radar online.

"My community service is really important to me," said Hilton. 

"This week I started and we went down and got a bunch of pumpkins at the pumpkin patch and carving tools and paint, candy and a pinata and did a lot of fun things for the kids," she added.

As part of her 200 hours of community service she needs to complete, Hilton will also spend time volunteering at homeless shelters in both Los Angeles and Vegas.

As for her romantic relationship with Cy Waits, she says they are happier than ever.

"I'm so happy. Cy is an amazing man. He is one of the kindest people I have ever met in my life and he is my best friend. We are inseparable, we are always together. I just feel very blessed that I found him," she said.

Lady Gaga Rock The YouTube

According to BBC, which quotes internet research company famecount.com, Poker-Face Gaga has 1,002,734,757 views on YouTube. This includes all her uploaded material and not a single video.

She tweeted to almost 7 million followers saying: "We reached one billion views on YouTube little monsters!" And then dubbed them "kings and queens of YouTube".

Lady Gaga has officially become the first person to rack up more than 1 billion channel views on YouTube.

However, the record for highest number of views on a single video is Justin Bieber's single Baby featuring Ludacris, with 367,793,190 views last we checked and the number is steadily increasing.

Justin Bieber Releasing Signature Scent

According to Women’s Wear Daily, the 16-year-old is slated to release a fragrance line called My World. Unlike other celebrity fragrances, Justin’s will not come in bottle. Instead, the unisex scent will be infused on wristbands and dog tags. What will My World smell like? The Canadian singing sensation gave the trade mag a hint last week. 

“They actually brought me a bunch of stuff to smell today,” Justin told WWD. “One of them smelled too young, too fruity. One was really good.”

The singer’s scent will hit Wal-Mart stores on November 26.

Gene Therapy for Depression in Mice May Lead to Tests in Monkeys, Humans

Gene therapy eased symptoms of depression in a mouse study that may spur new research in humans, scientists said.

The researchers studied mice that acted depressed and lacked a protein, called p11, thought to play a role in brain function. When the authors injected a gene into the animals’ brains that produced the protein, they behaved normally, said a report in the journal Science Translational Medicine.

If the therapy also works in an ongoing study in monkeys, the researchers said they would seek approval to test it in people within a year or two. Gene therapies have shown success in treating Parkinson’s disease and brain and eye disorders. This would be the first human test of a gene therapy in a psychiatric condition with an known cause.

“The use of gene therapy to treat complex psychiatrist diseases represents uncharted territory,” said Husseini Manji, the neuroscientist, and two colleagues from Johnson & Johnson, the New Brunswick, New Jersey-based drugmaker, in a commentary that accompanied the study.

Human testing must be approved by an oversight committee for research at universities and this therapy is likely to face resistance, said David Antonuccio, a psychologist and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Nevada School of Medicine in Reno.

“My worry would be for the unintended and unexpected consequences of altering genes in humans,” Antonuccio said in an e-mail. “With drug research, at least the drug can be stopped.”

Urgent Need

Still, an urgent need exists to find a better treatment for depression, said Michael Kaplitt, a neurosurgeon at New York- Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, who led the experiment, in a telephone interview yesterday.

“I think it would be a major mistake to prevent this treatment from moving forward,” said Kaplitt, a founder and shareholder of Neurologix Inc., a Fort Lee, New Jersey, company that has licensed the rights to the gene therapy used in the trial. “Major depression is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world and one of the major causes of lost work time.”

The experimental therapy builds on the research of Paul Greengard, a professor at Rockefeller University in New York who won the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in 2000 for work on how brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters, aid communication between nerve cells in the brain.

Serotonin in Depression

In 2006, Greengard and his colleagues reported that a protein called p11 enables neuron receptors to connect with a neurotransmitter called serotonin. Serotonin is thought to be involved in depression and is the brain chemical that antidepressants like Eli Lilly & Co.’s Prozac attempt to boost.

Greengard is a founder and shareholder in Intra-Cellular Therapies Inc., a closely held company based in New York that has licensed patents for p11. He and Kaplitt collaborated on the research and were the senior authors of today’s paper.

If people have too little p11, it may help explain why they’re depressed and why antidepressants don’t help them, Kaplitt said in a telephone interview yesterday.

The mice in the study were given two tests often used to measure depression and the effects of antidepressant drugs. The mice stopped struggling more quickly than normal when they were held upside down by their tails, or put in a water tank from which they couldn’t escape.

Rat pups bred to have no p11 had the protein injected into their brains when they were two days old. After recovering from the injection, they were seen to struggle longer. They also displayed more interest in sugar than the other mice, suggesting they had more interest in pleasure.

Brains of the Dead

To assess human evidence, Kaplitt and his colleagues examined the brains of depressed and nondepressed people who had died. Looking at a region called the nucleus accumbens, often described as the brain’s pleasure center, they found low levels of p11 in those who had suffered from depression and higher levels in those hadn’t.

Concluding that low p11 caused the patients’ depression is making an unwarranted leap, said Antonuccio, the psychiatry professor. The low p11 levels could be a result of the patients’ depression as easily as a cause of it, he said.

“That is the problem with most correlational results,” he said yesterday in an e-mail. “Correlation does not mean causation.”

The research was funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health and two foundations.

Akon's new album influenced by different styles of music

Rapper Akon says his new album is influenced by many styles of music he has been exposed to touring across the world.

The 'Sexy Chick' hitmaker drew influence from across the globe to produce 'Stadium' which sees his established hip hop sound mixed with dance beats and influences from as far afield as Japan and India.

'As you grow, you experience different things. You start travelling, you start collaborating with different people and you start experiencing life bigger,' contactmsuic.com quoted him as saying.

'I was the type of artist that created my music based from my experience. And nothing has changed. I'm always in Europe, always in Asia, always in India, always in Japan, always in Africa, the U.K., France, and this is the kind of music that I'm exposed to,' he said.
