In this third installment, Bella, played by Kristen Stewart, and Edward, played by Robert Pattison, decide to finally tie the knot, undoubtedly to Jacob—and team Jacob’s chagrin. However, during the making of said plans for marriage, Edward discovers that Bella would like to do as humans do and have a traditional honeymoon. Horrified because of the belief that his passion could kill her, he is obviously reluctant to do so. In the end, Bella wins and the honeymoon goes on as planned. Shortly after however, Bella finds herself pregnant—and tempting prey for the werewolves. Jacob, in spite of or perhaps because of, his love for Bella, makes a vow to protect her.

Despite its box office success, Breaking Dawn has met with mixed critical review. Rotten tomatoes called it “slow and joyless” and indicated that it was only for Twilight faithfuls. Variety magazine called it disappointing and Screen International thought it melodramatic. Still, these reviews are akin to those received by Twilight predecessor New Moon, which also performed extremely well at the box office. Suffice it to say that poor reviews alone, will not keep fans of Stephanie Meyer’s away.

Shakira, who received three nominations this year including Album of the Year, was chosen for her outstanding artistic achievements and charity will receive the honor at a gala dinner and concert with the participation of many stars. A large percentage of the net proceeds of this evening will benefit the work of the Barefoot Foundation, as well as education programs of The Latin Recording Academy.

She has performed at numerous benefit concerts in 2007 was presented at the Clinton Global Initiative and managed a $ 40 million by the Spanish government to help victims of natural disasters and additional $ 5 million to be donated to four countries in Latin America to help with education and health.

“The Latin Recording Academy and its Board of tablecloths are able to recognize the talent of Shakira’s artistic integrity whose only equaled by his commitment and dedication to their work and social activities, selflessly helping those in need” said Gabriel Abaroa, President / CEO of The Latin Recording Academy. “We are proud to honor this woman whose generosity has benefited a good number of people, mostly children, whose influence is evident around the world, whether in the personal and musically.”

“It’s an honor to be in the company of some of the great artists and legends of Latin music,” Shakira said about this distinction. Born in Colombia, Shakira revealed many of his talents as a live performer while still in school, demonstrating his ability vocal combining rock, Latin and Mediterranean influence, with its own twist dancing to the cadence of belly dancing.

The country music awards this year revealed more than just the most talented singers and song writers in that genre of music. It also revealed that many popular musicians harbor a passion for playing Blackjack and love to share their experiences with the game. The winners were more than willing to share some of their experiences and strategies, while the losers were a little less enthusiastic. A handful of successful gamblers offered their tales of victory to news reporter Alison Bonaguro.

Josh Kelley, a famous singer/songwriter who is married to actress Katherine Heigle, recounted winning $1,500 in fifteen minutes of play at one of the tables. He used his winnings to purchase a beautiful necklace for his wife. John Rich, another country music icon, plays Blackjack often. He recommended walking away from the table after a successful run. His strategy was to bet small amounts over a long period of time, rather than risking it all on one series. Rich used his winnings to purchase a new F-150.

Jake Owen and David Nail were willing to share some experiences as well. Owen prefers Blackjack to other card games, feeling more comfortable with the format. Owen recommends walking away from the table after a successful run of winning. He plans to use his winnings on purchasing something nice for his mother. Nail, on the other, hand credits his wife as having more luck at the tables. Nail stands back and lets his wife make all the money, which she promptly spends on shopping for clothes outside of the casino.

Regardless of how much one wins at the tables, it is hard to leave Nevada with the money, according to Justin Moore. He loves Blackjack and has sat down to play with Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker. Moore won $2,000 last year playing Blackjack, but has walked away from the table with a loss several times as well. It’s the uncertainty of outcome that keeps him coming back for more, win or lose.

Of course no discussion of Blackjack online would prove complete without mentioning historical legends Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Curtis. Each helped make Blackjack legendary and mythical through casino performances and big screen movies showcasing the romance of gambling success. Martin actually dealt Blackjack in backroom speakeasies during the 1920′s before launching his successful singing/acting career.

Win or lose, the tables will keep calling commoners and famous singers alike back for the promise of excitement and uncertainty.

Kate says this pregnancy was different from the first in that her craving tended to run to the bland foods instead of the spicy foods she craved with Ryder. She preferred fruit for snacks and nothing too heavy. She was also very sick in the beginning with this pregnancy, and states that each pregnancy was totally different from the each other.

While on the Today Show back in April of this year, pregnant Kate suddenly blurted out that also they haven’t made an official announcement, she and Bellamy were now engaged. She also commented that she felt so silly making the announcement and she was actually waiting for someone to notice. Kate says she is excited about her new baby and thinks Bellamy is a beautiful man, and their plans for the future include doing the baby thing for just a bit before tying the knot.

The couple is keeping the proposal a very closely guarded secret, only revealing that it was very sweet and romantic.

There were no injuries reported by Dallas Fire Rescue Captain Johnny Bates. Rihanna found a way to truly make light of the situation setting out to reach to her Twitter fans stating: “We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!! I’m so pissed, I was havin so much fun wit yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!” A CBS affiliate noted that the fire may have been started by a chair catching on fire. But whether it was a light or a chair Rihanna is set to blaze the stage again on her loud tour July 11th at the BJCC Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, July 12th at Chastain Park Amphitheater Live Nation in “Hotlanta” Atlanta, Georgia and July 16th at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in Greensboro North Carolina. Make sure to catch her in a city near you.

She is still in the beginning phase, so she has some big decisions to make. She is listed in the same category as many other teens singers, such as Selena Gomez, and Taylor Swift. It is crazy how you can start on YouTube, and end up with a music record deal in a snap of a finger. She has a lot more growing to do, because Rebecca is just getting started. If she keeps it up, she will be successful in all that she loves doing the most, and that is making good music. Now we are just waiting on an official date for the release of her very first album. Everyone is pretty sure that the release of her single alone will be a big success for her.

Fogarty was quoted as saying “I have to admit, people have asked me more recently, and even though I have no idea how such a series of events would come to pass, I can tell that there isn’t the bombast in my voice, in the denial, in the refusal. It’s more like, ‘Well, I dunno.’ Never say never is I guess what people tell you. In this life, all kinds of strange things come to pass.”

Years ago Fogarty would never have even considered a reunion with his former band mates, and he even sued Clifford and Cook back in 1997 when they performed using the name Creedence Clearwater Revisited.
Creedence Clearwater Revival originally stared back in the late 60’s with Fogarty as the main lyricist and lead guitar player was joined by his brother Tom on rhythm guitar along with Clifford and Cook. The band’s popularity was driven by their country rock roots, and a style that was rock and roll than anything else, and the band still enjoys airplay even today on many classic rock stations across the United States.

A Creedence reunion would almost certainly be a sellout event that would pack such venues as Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks, Mohegan Sun and the Borgata in Atlantic City, and would not only make the fans very happy but the band members very well off, no matter the particulars.
