But a year later, the six-bed, 3.5-bath family house with wraparound porches lies empty, stripped of furniture, a children's playhouse abandoned in the backyard. The New Jersey home is at the center of a bizarre legal case which has made it famous worldwide. On one side is the Broaddus family, who claim they were deceived by the sellers over a troubling secret: That their new home has a menacing stalker who calls himself 'The Watcher'. Since the Broadduses signed the property deed in June 2014, they say 'The Watcher' has sent them three threatening letters, laying claim to the house and suggesting 'nefarious intentions' towards those who live there. With three children under 12, the couple have said they are too terrified to move into the home, particularly because one letter, made sinister demands for 'young blood'. And on the other side of the bizarre case are the Woods, a couple in their early sixties with two grown-up sons.

Their downsizing to an idyllic waterfront property in Cape Cod has been upended as they face being sued for the $1.35million purchase price of the New Jersey home along with the hundreds of thousands of dollars that the Broadduses claim to have spent in renovations. The Broadduses were also suing for legal costs and punitive damages for 'severe and incalculable emotional distress'. But a Daily Mail Online investigation today uncovers the background to the case – and raises key questions over a legal battle. Seton Hall Law Professor, Charles Sullivan, said it was going to be a 'hard road both legally and factually for the plaintiffs as the only proof they appeared to have come in a statement from "The Watcher" himself'. Derek and Maria Broaddus filed their civil case on June 2 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Union County against the Woods and two companies involved in the sale of the home; Chicago Title Insurance Company and A Absolute Escrow Company.

  • Rob Kardashian, His Then-Fiancée Blac Chyna and Their Pregnancy/Newborn Daughter, for One Season
    The Neoliberal Life of the “Failing” Kardashian: Robert Kardashian On (Not) Keeping up with the Kardashians Leah Groenewoud (Third year, RLCT/GEND Major) GEND 3076 Dr. Wendy Peters April 5, 2015 Introduction Keeping up with the Kardashians (KUWTK) is a reality television show that follows the lives of the Kardashian family – a famous, upper-class Californian family consisting of Kris Jenner (the Kardashians’ mother and business manager), her (now ex-) husband Caitlyn Jenner and their children. Kris’ children include Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and Robert Kardashian, and Kris and Caitlyn have two younger children, Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Rob & Chyna is a reality TV spin-off of KUWTK which followed Rob Kardashian, his then-fiancée Blac Chyna and their pregnancy/newborn daughter, for one season. This paper will employ a textual analysis of these two shows to analyze how Robert Kardashian’s life and life choices are portrayed as personal failures. Conversations and information about Rob – in the 12 episodes across 6 seasons of KUWTK, and 6 episodes of season 1 of Rob & Chyna which I studied – are consistently about how Rob must change, and that he is not happy or successful the way he is. Robert Kardashian is consistently portrayed as a failure, which this paper will clarify to mean a neoliberal failure. This paper will analyze the neoliberal logics of the narratives about Robert and the way he lives, including narratives about his health, his (lack of) independence and self-esteem, his marriageability and employability.i I will conclude with an analysis of how KUWTK and Rob & Chyna facilitate a ‘panoptic existence’ for Rob, in which his family, the viewers and even himself surveil and regulate Rob.

Researchers have attributed the increase of people being overweight to a change in diet and a lack of exercise. Because physical activity is attributed to being a large component of maintaining a healthy weight, this paper analyzes how often celebrities’ posts on Twitter and Instagram refer to physical activity.

  • Theorizing the Anti-Fan
    Beyond the H8R: Theorizing the Anti-Fan “Where‟s the „Dislike‟ Button?” From the benign to the vitriolic, haters are everywhere. One TV critic recently asked, ―Whatever happened to ‗I don‘t like‘?‖(Weeks 2011) Let us consider ―hateration,‖ that is hate as anti-fan activity, on a continuum. On the passive end, if you do not like something on a Facebook friend‘s wall your options are to either comment with your dislike or ignore the posting. Somewhere in the middle of the continuum, celebrity news blogs such as dlisted, mix equal parts adoration and hate in posting, such as acknowledging celebrity birthdays under the heading ―Birthday Sluts.‖ And, at a gathering of friends, a lull in conversation can be enlivened by a round of the party game, ―Kill, Fuck, Marry‖ or naming six celebrities you would like to put on an airplane that is sure to have engine failure and crash. (Those last two are on the vitriolic end, in case that was not clear.) Hate for genre texts, people, events, and objects in popular culture is all around us, yet it continues to be an overlooked sentiment in fan studies. Anti-fans hang about the periphery of fandom, but they are nonetheless part of the fan world. It is not that web 2.0 – the mix of interactivity and online communities – is blind to the existence of dislike nor completely ignores the sentiment. The 2012 Adobe Digital Index Report finds that a little more than half (53%) of consumers surveyed ―said they would very much like to have a ‗dislike‘ button‖ on the social media site Facebook (Lomas 2012).

  • Q and a with Playboy Playmate and Glamour Model, Larissa Bartolo
    Glamour Girl! London Calling! Q and A With Playboy Playmate and Glamour Model, Larissa Bartolo Author : Robert D. Cobb Bikinis. Swimsuit. Lingerie. Welcome to Glamour Girl!, INSCMagazine’s new bi-weekly feature that will appear every Monday and Friday. GG! will feature some of today’s hottest bikini, swimsuit, Instagram and fitness models and actresses today in the realm of lifestyle, modeling and entertainment, with a touch of style, class, quality in- depth writing and eye-catching images. 1 / 9 There is hot, and then there is Australian-level hot. For whatever reason, this country seems to produce some ridiculously hot women. Whether it is plus-sized models such as Ashley Graham and Tia Provost or supermodels such as Nicole Trunfio, Elle Macpherson, Miranda Kerr, the Land Down Under is a proverbial factory of hotness. Not to be confused with my native Cleveland’s factory of sadness, but Australia seems to pump out world- class hotties with the efficiency of a Ford assembly line. Actresses such as Nicole Kidman, Rachael Taylor call OZ home. Other models such as Shanina Shaik, Jessica Hart call the one-time British penal colony terra firma. 2 / 9 Much like them, Sydney-born and London-based Playboy model and glamour model, Larissa Bartolo is also a proud Aussie, through and through. Bartolo, who has appeared in notable lad magazines such as FHM, Maxim, Zoo and Playboy, is a curvy, head- turning, neck-breaking ode of Aussie goodness this side of Foster’s. Blonde or brunette, it doesn’t matter as 3 / 9 Bartolo’s hotness is on point with her fellow Aussie compatriots.

The spring 2013 shows are slated to kick off in New York on Sept. 13 — a date that’s become a thorn in the Milanese side, with Mario Boselli, head of the Italian Chamber of Fashion, lashing out at a calendar he believes was foisted upon the Italians by New York’s Council of Fashion Designers of America. In 2008, the governing fashion organizations of the four fashion capitals — New York, London, Milan and Paris — agreed to kick off the collections season on the second Thursday in February and September. Sometimes — like this year — that means the New York shows start three days after Labor Day, but for the next three years, the shows will kick off the following week. Boselli claimed the sec- ond Thursday rule was only for the short term. “After three years, we should sit down and decide on the next three years, and we don’t understand why the CFDA has single- handedly set the New York show dates later in September next year,” Boselli said.
