Source: Entertainment - Google News | 3 Jul 2010 | 5:04 pm Suspected Celebrity-Robbing Teens Indicted A surprisingly cute suspect, Nicholas Frank Prugo, 19. Five of the L.A. kids accused of burglarizing the homes of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, and Megan Fox last year are facing conspiracy charges after a grand jury issued an indictment against the "burglar bunch" yesterday. The indictment reveals the celebrity-obsessed research and planning that went into the robberies, and an investigator told The AP that $2 million worth of unrecovered property is still missing. All of the suspects, whose ages range from eighteen to twenty-eight, plead not guilty, agreeing to return to court on August 12. The judge raised the bail for several of the suspects, forcing the oldest one, Roy Lopez, to stay in jail until the next hearing, since he couldn't pay $120,000. The made-for-TV movie is not yet in the works.

TMZ reports that Elin Nordegren will walk away from Tiger Woods with approximately $100 million, substantially more than she would have received under the couples's prenuptial agreement. In exchange for this handsome sum, Nordegren has agreed to a confidentiality clause as part of her divorce settlement, which means no Today Show appearances, and no tell-all. Most important, Woods managed to avoid a high-profile trial. [TMZ] Read more posts by Mike Vilensky Filed Under: take the money and run, divorces, elin nordegren, sex scandals, tiger woods

Yesterday, we learned that the unemployment rate fell from 9.7 percent to 9.5 percent, the lowest it's been since July 2009, but that's largely because of people who have stopped looking for work. Business Insider explains:
Why have so many people stopped looking for a job, exactly? Officially known as "discouraged workers," these folks are feeling increasingly "hopeless," according to CNN: "A record 1.21 million people want to work, but said they aren't looking because of the weak labor market ... There are five workers for every available opening." Heidi Shierholz, a labor economist at the Economic Policy Institute, said: "Things are very, very weak and they are not expected to strengthen anytime soon. It's going to be a long slog."

Nelsan Ellis is many things as True Blood's Lafayette: flamboyant but tough, and hard-edged yet sympathetic. However, Ellis, who Queerty reports is heterosexual, doesn't want to be typecast as whatever "type" it is, exactly, that he's playing on television: "I can’t just get upset with regular folk because all they see is the character," he tells Vibe. "But when the industry can’t tell the difference, I’m like, 'Damn that’s a little closed minded,' because when white people play a character people expect it to be a character. But black people — we can’t just be character actors, we have to [really] be the things we’re hired for, which is what offends me. I don’t answer that question, 'Are you gay or not,' when it comes down to industry people. But if it’s a regular person asking me, that just says that maybe I’m doing a good job. But when a casting director or an agent asks me that question it takes on a deeper thing that says, 'I can’t believe you’re doing this unless you are that.'"

Source: Vulture | 3 Jul 2010 | 12:44 pm Howard Stern’s Future Is Unclear Howard Stern's contract with Sirius XM Radio expires on December 31, 2010, and after that Stern is a free agent. Stern has yet to announce his post-Sirius plans, or if he plans to stay with the radio channel under a new contract. Since he's probably not replacing Simon Cowell on American Idol, Stern might even retire! "Howard has said that if he were to stay [with Sirius], he wants to negotiate a later start time for the show," Pop Eater reports. "But Sirius execs aren't too pleased about that idea." Since Stern has already had an incredibly long and successful run, raking in another $70 million last year, some are wondering if his time is up, or if he's just keeping his future plans under wraps: "While it may look like Stern's staff has no idea what he is up to from the outside, this group is like a family and they have access to way more information than we know. But they're loyal." [Pop Eater] Read more posts by Mike Vilensky Filed Under: howard stern, american idol, contract negotiations, sirius xm radio, the industry

"She dressed very cute to class, hung out with students during lunch, and has been very into the course.

Source: Daily Intel | 3 Jul 2010 | 10:38 am New Mad Men Wardrobe Decidedly ‘Less Glitzy’ The characters won't look this conservative next season, perhaps. In a video interview, Janie Bryant, the brilliant mind behind Mad Men's costumes, an integral aspect of the show, reveals that the wardrobe will at times be "less glitzy" on Mad Men's upcoming season. That paring down of Mad Men's sartorial glamour seems consistent with the the series's season-four poster, showing Don Draper sans desk, his telephone just sitting on the floor sadly. Draper's costumes, Bryant says, will be "darker," to reflect his character changes. Meanwhile, Peggy is coming into her own, so perhaps she'll have some sexier (but office-appropriate) attire to match her hip new haircut. Betty, now a politician's girl, will don Jackie O–like ensembles, including a pants suit, and she'll have "a new silhouette." Overall, the characters will be "less done-up," and more influenced by "a mod lifestyle ... and youth culture." Times, they are a-changing.

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 3 Jul 2010 | 8:03 am Al Gore to Skip Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding Former Vice-President Al Gore and his estranged wife, Tipper Gore, will not be attending Chelsea Clinton's upcoming wedding, a spokesperson for the family confirmed. The rep added, "They both wish Chelsea well, believe she is a wonderful young woman, and they share in the family's excitement." So, were they invited in the first place? When asked if the former couple was invited, the Gore rep had "no comment." The sleuths over at the News's Gatecrasher column point out that in a December 2009 interview with the Daily Beast, Al Gore said he was "looking forward to Chelsea's wedding, a happy occasion." Of course, that was before he was knee-deep in a high-profile separation, coupled with a police investigation into alleged "unwanted sexual contact" with a masseuse who claims Gore's a "sick man!" But just like regular immature exes, Al and Tipper probably just didn't even want to be in the same room as one another, and the couple, perhaps, didn't want to deflect any attention away from the bride by merely showing up. In other updates on the Most Important Wedding in the World, the affair, to be held on July 31, will allegedly take place at Astor Courts, a former Beaux-Arts sporting pavilion modeled after Versailles, sitting on 50 acres outside Rhinebeck, New York. The estate is owned by Kathleen Hammer, a former producer for Oxygen who donated to Hillary Clinton's Presidential and Senatorial campaigns. Or maybe it won't be held there: According to the News, "The Clintons have reportedly intentionally leaked some misinformation about the wedding to throw off the press." They're playing mind games with us now, and we like it.
