Roses and an Officer
It’s cold and rainy in New York today, which isn’t typical for these dog-days of summer. A blanket of solemnity hangs over the city as locals remember that depressing and tragic (to put it mildly) day eight years ago. On that September 11th, most remember exactly where they were. Some were on their way to work or school. Others were still cozied up in their beds, only to be woken by a massive boom or their phones ringing as their partners informed them of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
Today, as in years past, new yorkers, politicians and the loved ones of those killed in the attacks, gather at the construction site where the Twin Tower’s once stood. The memorial, attended by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, is a significant event as it the first September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.
According to Reuters:
The Day was created when President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act which, for the first time, officially recognizes September 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. The day serves to recognize the fact that millions were inspired to serve as a way to heal and rise above the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001.

After, well almost forever, we have a conclusion to Jeremy Piven’s Sushi brouhaha.
An arbitrator cleared Piven of any wrongdoing in connection with a dispute levied against him when he quit “Speed the Plow” after being diagnosed with mercury poisoning after Piven said he ate too much sushi.
“I’m pleased with the outcome of the arbitration and to be completely vindicated in this matter based on the facts and the medical evidence,” said the Entourage star in a statement.
Many believe Piven claim he was sick was just a fish story in an effort to get released from his gig in New York production of David Mamet’s Broadway play “Speed the Plow.”
Testimony from Piven’s doctors swayed the arbitrator enough to give Piven the win, sighting Piven’s 3-day stay in the hospital after eating all that mercury filled fish.
Even though Piven prevailed, something tells me he wont be invited back to Broadway anytime soon and for that matter, to sushi dinner either.

Sex and City auditions
The estimated 5,000 hopefuls at Tuesday’s casting session for bit parts in the “Sex and the City” movie sequel are now awaiting “the call.”
In fact, an automated text or e-mail will confirm whether the hideous ordeal of 90-degree heat, zero shade, painful blisters – and having to listen to a sidewalk evangelist spouting off about Sodom and Gomorrah – was worth the effort.
Those chosen to fill the producers’ need for “models, celebrity types, upscale socialites, gays and lesbians, international types and professional soccer players” will earn $93.50 plus overtime for a 12- to 16-hour day on the set.
But the wanna-bes weren’t there for the paycheck. In the heady, carnival-like atmosphere, it was more about showing off and having fun.
Ouch!
Gaggles of girls dressed like Sarah Jessica Parker, star of the “Sex and the City” franchise. The smarter ones carried their stilettos in bags.
Some copied Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Others channeled “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Creative types modeled themselves on anyone from Willie Nelson to David Beckham to Chaka Khan.

Madonna
Just think… if your college boyfriend or girlfriend who you’re no longer with, kept all of your emails, letters, notes and photos. Imagine yourself becoming famous. Then try to imagine waking up one day and seeing your old photos and emails strewn all over the internet…and even for sale!
For Madonna, this is a popular trend in her life! Back in January, that sicko who photographed a ‘young and hairy’ Madonna as a teenager, auctioned off the nude photo for $10,000! Marilyn Monroe has been a victim of men auctioning off her image before and after her death. Famous photographer Bert Stern has successfully paid his rent off of Marilyn’s “The Last Sitting” for over 30 years! The new guy on the auction block is freakshow Jim Albright, a nightclub security guard Madonna met in New York in 1992. He has put up love letters, voice machine recordings and a brief VHS tape featuring the singer for auction.

Robert Pattinson in NYC
Sweet merciful entity! People magazine reports that amid a mob of frenzied fans, Robert Pattinson collided with a taxi on the streets of downtown Manhattan Thursday.
Cheap People Magazine Subscriptions
The Twilight actor, in New York City filming Remember Me, apparently attempted to run across the street near the famed Strand bookstore to escape a hoard of fans when he was clipped on his hip by a moving cab, whose driver slammed on his breaks upon impact.
Pattinson, 23, did not appear to be injured and walked away from the incident.
Of course he walked away unharmed, he’s Edward Cullen. I wonder what the taxi looked like after it hit him. You fools have no idea what he’s capable of. He can read minds for goodness sake! A little old New York taxi isn’t going to hurt him. On a quick sidenote I feel really bad for this guy. He’s horribly famous and at 23 years old he can’t walk down the street without being attacked, he just looks so uncomfortable. Guffaw.
