You Never Know! Anything Goes!

The Other Olsen Sister

There is another Olsen who is starting to make her own name in the entertainment industry, Elizabeth Olsen.

Elizabeth Olsen is the younger sister of the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. She is making headlines today because she is set to star in the indie, according to The Wrap.

The 21-year-old, blue-eyed newcomer recently wrapped shooting “Peace, Love & Misunderstanding” and the story revolves around a young woman (Olsen) who is living with her older sister (Sarah Paulson) after escaping a cult. The other cast also includes Hugh Dancy, Brady Corbet, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Catherine Keener, Chase Crawford and Jane Fonda.

Just like her two famous sisters, Elizabeth Olsen started acting while she was a child. She appeared in a series of “The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley” films including “The Case of the Christmas Caper” and “The Case of the U.S. Space Camp Mission” from 1993 – 96. She also had a cameo in Natasha Bedingfield’s video for “I Bruise Easily,” in 2005 and two years later, she starred in the band Carlotta’s music video for “The Queen.” Last year, she made a big impression on one of the U.K.’s biggest style magazines and was named Elle U.K.’s “New Fashion Crush.”

Since we’re talking about a no-so-familiar Olsen sister, there are other siblings. A brother named Trent and as well as two half-siblings, Taylor and Jake. Now you know for whom was their fashion line, “Elizabeth & James,” named after.

In the Gulf on Mexico, another oil production platform exploded. It happened Thursday, about 80 miles south of Vermilion Bay, the U.S. Coast Guard said. No, it was not BP and yes, this accident caused some panic. We don’t need another oil spill here.

The accident happened around 9 a.m. CT and as of 1 p.m. the offshore oil rig was still burning, Gov. Bobby Jindal said. By 4 p.m., the fire was out, according to Coast Guard Capt. Peter Troedson.

Fortunately, the explosion did not leak a significant amount of oil into the water, the Coast Guard said. 13 workers were rescued and one of them was injured although not fatally. When the survivors were found by a supply ship, they were seen wearing a “Gumby suits”, a bright orange survival gear. Dan Shaw, the captain of the Crystal Clear supply boat that rescued Vermilion’s workers, said the employees huddled together in the water, holding hands, apparently hungry and tired after floating for two hours.

Coast Guard and officials from Mariner Energy of Houston, the company that owns the platform, said that reported that a mile-long oil slick was seen spreading from the platform. But when the Coast Guard reached the scene a short time later there was no evidence of any leaks.

“The boats and the aircraft on scene cannot see a sheen,” Capt. Troedsson said.

Unlike the Deep Horizon explosion which happened last April 20, 20101 and spilled about 206 million gallons of oil into the Gulf, Vermilion Oil Rig 380 that exploded Thurday was undergoing maintenance and was not producing at the time of the accident. If there have been some slick seen, it could just be from a small amount of oil stored and it is a less problematic spill.

T.I. and Wife Tiny Arrested for Possession

Just one month after getting married, rap artist T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle were arrested Wednesday in West Hollywood. TMZ reports that the charge was possession of a controlled substance.

Report says that the sheriff’s deputies pulled over the rapper, real name Clifford Harris, 29, and his 36-year-old wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, about 10:18 p.m. at 9255 Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood when they smelled marijuana coming from their vehicle during a traffic stop.

“During the course of the traffic stop, deputies smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle,” L.A. County sheriff’s officials said in a statement. “A narcotics investigation ensued,” during which T.I. and his wife “were found to be in possession of a controlled substance.”

But, even though the authorities smelled marijuana, they stumbled upon a lot more. T.I. was caught with controlled substances  including marijuana, sizzurp and ecstasy.  Sizzurp is also known as purple drink and is something more than Ecstasy.

T.I. is currently on probation after pleading guilty to weapons charges in 2009 and he served seven months behind bars at a Federal Correction Institution in Arkansas. This incident could send him back to prison.

T.I. and Tiny are in custody at the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station right now. The bail was reportedly set at $10,000 and the couple was released by 4a.m.

It was already previously reported that a tumor was found in Michael Douglas’ throat. But he revealed a more shocking news with David Letterman.

Michael Douglas Revealed Throat Cancer at Stage 4Michael Douglas was a guest on the “Late Show with David Letterman” Tuesday and he said that his throat cancer is already at stage 4. He will undergo eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy and he already completed his first treatment.

But before that, even before his throat cancer was diagnosed, the A-lister actor was already suffering from a sore throat and other symptoms. He told Letterman that he felt and knew something wasn’t right.

“It had been bothering me for a while. In the early summer, I had a really sore throat … and I actually went through a litany of doctors and tests and they didn’t find anything,” he said.

When the doctors did a biopsy, it was then that they discovered a stage 4 tumor, which Douglas described as “intense.” Of course was the actor was worried about the cancer spreading but his doctors expect him to make a full recovery.

“The percentages are very good,” he said. “I would hate to say, but right now, it looks like it should be 80 percent, and with certain hospitals and everything, it does improve.”

“It’s a fight. It really knocks you out.” Douglas told People magazine Wednesday. “I’ll beat this.”

Fighting cancer really is a struggle. Out positive thoughts, prayers and best wishes to him, his lovely wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and their children, Dylan, 10, and 7-year-old Carys.

Steve Jobs Unveils Upgraded Apple TV For a Lesser Price

Apple is a genius, no doubt about that. They figured that they can’t possibly replace cable TV so they did something better: integrate Apple TV to consumers’ cable boxes.

Along with the introduction of the new iPod Touch 4th generation, new iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle Wednesday, Apple also introduced the new Apple TV.

First, the price.

“The price of Apple TV was $229… users said they’d like to see it more affordable,” Apple CEO Stave Jobs said. “ So we’re gonna lower the price, from $299… to just $99.”

Because it is now smaller, the new Apple TV doesn’t have any internal storage. It features an HDMI, Ethernet, optical audio, and USB plugs around back, and of course 802.11n for the cable-averse.

But what can it this new gadget do? You can now watch a movie from your iPad and push it to your TV.  It will deliver only streamed content from either Apple or from a user’s computer and rent shows from Fox and ABC for 99 cents, as well as a collection of high-definition movies for $4.99.

It will include services like Netflix, YouTube, Flickr, and Mobile Me, plus Rotten Tomatoes integration in the movie catalog.

Apple TV will go on sale in four weeks for, again, just $99. You can start pre-ordering today.
