  • Celebrities Who Give Us Nightmares Reality Show Fame Can Be Lucrative (Just Look at Bethenny Frankel) but It Can Also Go Horribly Wrong
    Dorothy Pomerantz, Forbes Staff I write about Hollywood and run the Celebrity 100 List. BUSINESS 10/31/2012 @ 2:08PM Celebrities Who Give Us Nightmares Reality show fame can be lucrative (just look at Bethenny Frankel) but it can also go horribly wrong. Spencer Pratt made a splash with his villainous performance on The Hills, but since then his career hasn’t work out quite like he had hoped. Instead of writing books, starting a fashion line and producing more TV, Pratt ended up standing by Heidi Montag’s side while she underwent multiple plastic surgeries to turn herself into the world’s saddest living Barbie doll. Perhaps that’s why the public sees Pratt as the creepiest Just in time for Halloween, here are the celebrities who creep America out the most, based on survey celebrity out there, according to E-Poll Market data from E-Poll Market Research, whose E-Score Research. E-Poll’s E-Score Celebrity service ranks more Celebrity service ranks more than 6,000 celebrities on awareness, appeal and 46 different personality than 6,000 celebrities on public awareness, appeal and 46 attributes. Its survey results show that in different personality attributes. When asked to rate Pratt, Hollywood, no one is as scary as reality show stars. 49% of survey respondents said they found him creepy. Another reality star who creeps us all out: Courtney Stodden. The teen is best-known for marrying 50- year-old actor Doug Hutchinson when she was only 16. Somehow, these two are still getting publicity. Maybe it’s because of the way Stodden dresses.

  • BODY TYPE: TYPOGRAPHIC TATTOOS Or HOW I BECAME a TATTOO EXPERT WITHOUT REALLY TRYING
    BODY TYPE: TYPOGRAPHIC TATTOOS or HOW I BECAME A TATTOO EXPERT WITHOUT REALLY TRYING By Ina Saltz, author of “Body Type: Intimate Messages Etched in Flesh” (Abrams Image, 2006) MY INVOLVEMENT WITH THE WORLD OF TATTOOS began in the most unlikely of ways. I was traveling cross-town on the M86 bus when I spotted an interesting-looking young man with a large text-only tattoo on his right forearm; it spelled out “happy” in a typeface which I instantly recognized as Helvetica. The fact that it was in lower-case letters and so tightly kerned that the letters were touching was especially intriguing to me as a designer and a typophile. I had never seen a tattoo quite like this one—sans serif! Not being in the habit of talking to strangers in New York City, I debated mightily before approaching him...but my curiosity finally got the better of me. “Are you a graphic designer?” I asked. Why, yes, he was. “And would you mind if I took a photo of your tattoo to show my students? I teach typography at City College.” No problem. I whipped out my digital camera and managed to get one shot and to grab his proffered business card before I jumped off at my stop. That evening I uploaded the photo and went to the Web site on his business card to send him the image with a proper thank you message. Imagine my astonishment to find our entire conversation recounted on his blog! As often happens when encountering something new, having seen one typographic tattoo, I now started to see them everywhere (it was August and a lot of skin was visible).

  • Coursebooks and the Curse of Celebrity
    4 The Guardian Weekly 21.05.10 Learning English Coursebooks and the curse of celebrity Opinion Lindsay Clandfi eld When we teach English as an inter- national language, what are we also teaching? As language teachers we are in a curious and unique position. We do not have a fi xed subject in the same way that the history teacher teaches history or the geography teacher teaches geography . The language teacher teaches grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, speak- ing and listening skills, but these are all “how”. They are not “what”. Language teachers are cursed with no content, but also blessed because everything can be our content. Is the “what” we teach culture? Language and cultural studies used to be seen as inseparable. If you learnt English you learned about British people, their way of life, their literature and cultural history. If you were studying American English then you would learn about the US . However, with the rise and recogni- tion of English as an international language, we are faced with the reality that English is no longer the Lindsay who?

For more information, please contact [email protected]. “SO VERY,” “SO FETCH”: CONSTRUCTING GIRLS ON FILM IN THE ERA OF GIRL POWER AND GIRLS IN CRISIS by MARY LARKEN MCCORD Under the Direction of Amira Jarmakani ABSTRACT In the mid-1990s, two discourses of girlhood emerged in both the popular and academic spheres. Consolidated as the girl power discourse and girls in crisis discourse, the tension between these two intertwined discourses created a space for new narratives of female adolescence in the decade between 1995 and 2005. As sites of cultural construction and representation, teen films reveal the narratives of girlhood. The films under consideration serve as useful exemplars for an examination of how such discourses become mainstreamed, pervading society’s image of female adolescence.

  • New York Law Journal March 31, 2014 Monday Section: EXPERT ANALYSIS; P.3, Col.1; Vol
    New York Law Journal March 31, 2014 Monday Section: EXPERT ANALYSIS; p.3, col.1; Vol. 251; No. 60 Length: 2006 words Byline: Elizabeth McNamara And Samuel M. Bayard Body I n February, former Mob Wives star Karen Gravano filed a right-of-publicity lawsuit against the makers of Grand Theft Auto V, claiming that they misappropriated her image and life story for a character in the popular video game. Being a colorful story, even the New York tabloids took notice: The hit video game "Grand Theft Auto V" is illegally imitating life, according to a former "Mob Wives" star.-Daily News1 The makers of "Grand Theft Auto" better hope they don't wake up next to a horse head.-New York Post2 Media lawyers were interested too. Not because Ms. Gravano is a reality star, or because she's the daughter of Salvatore (Sammy the Bull) Gravano, a famous mobster who turned state's evidence. Not even because Grand Theft Auto is one of the most successful videogame franchises around. Media lawyers took notice because this case is one more in a string of recent cases raising a significant common question: To what extent does the law protect the rights of content creators- writers, filmmakers, musicians, visual artists, photographers, and yes, videogame makers-to draw on real-life individuals and events to create expressive works? For years this was a relatively settled issue particularly in New York, and creators took comfort that they were largely protected from right-of-publicity claims. This status quo has been upended with a growing spate of successful suits against expressive works elsewhere in the country.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Perspectives of Women Victims of Wealthy Batterers: Is Justice Served? By Diana Bruns Southeast Missouri State University, United States Abstract- While domestic violence occurs in all demographical realms (races, ethnicities, classes, educational levels), research has been limited regarding wealthy batterers. Although domestic abuse is more visible in lower-class communities, abuse in high socio-economic classes remains hidden. Qualitative data from 12 survivors of wealthy and/or affluent batterers defined asupper middle class or upper class examines perspectives of victims of wealthy batterers to investigate if and how such victims face injustices due to the batterer’s wealth and prominence in the communities in which they live. As additional research is conducted on wealthy batterers, police, prosecutors, and judges may provide better treatment and protection, as they too, will become better prepared in dealing with wealthy and powerful batterers and minimize injustices or prejudice to toward the victims.
