Is Carmen Electra pregnant?


Carmen Electra sparked pregnancy rumors at her birthday pool party over the weekend. The notoriously scantily clad star curiously donned a sundress during the bash, and didn't strip down to her skivvies - even though that's her favorite thing to do, no matter what the weather.

Electra turned 37 April 20 and whooped it up at a pool party in Las Vegas. The sexy Electra danced with her fiancé Rob Patterson from rock group Korn, but left her sundress on the entire time, sparking rumors that she might be pregnant.

Carmen Electra has been married twice before to Dennis Rodman and Dave Navarro, guitarist in a band Jane's Addiction.

Swine Flu Virus hits United States

Reported cases of Swine Flu in United States
(As of April 26, 2009)

California - 7
Kansas -2
New York City - 8
Ohio - 1
Texas - 2


Google Flu Trends , a Web service provided by Google.org, has been updating itself with data and news stories about the swine flu pandemic. Social-networking tools such as Twitter have been blazing with members’ posts about the possible spread of the disease. As of April 27, swine flu has killed 103 people in Mexico and spread to the United States, Europe and possibly other locations around the world.

President Barack Obama said Monday that the threat of spreading swine flu infections is a cause for concern but "not a cause for alarm" as the United States undertook close border monitoring to contain it.

Here are the CDC's for limiting your risk of catching the swine flu virus:

* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
* Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
* Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
* If you get sick, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread that way.

Susan Boyle Cry Me a River CD

Britain's singing sensation Susan Boyle has become a Youtube Internet Celebrity overnight and has even appeared on a few American TV shows already.

THE Daily Record has uncovered the only CD ever made by Scotland’s singing
sensation Susan Boyle.

It emerged last night that Susan, whose Britain’s Got Talent triumph has made her an instant superstar, is being lined up for an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show which would give her the chance of a number one album in the US.

But the Record can reveal she made her first recording back in 1999, when she sang blues ballad Cry Me A River for a charity CD.

Only 1000 copies of the disc were ever produced, but we’ve got hold of the long-forgotten recording and it’s now on our site. A showbiz insider said: “This is a real coup for the Record. The whole world would have wanted to find this.

“People will be scrambling to get their hands on this CD. They will be like gold dust soon.”

Easter Egg Hunt, Parade and Easter Bunny Tracker?

Easter is on the 12th of April this year. Many people will celebrate by attending church and Easter Egg Hunts.
Easter egg hunts and egg rolling are two popular egg-related traditions. In the U.S., the White House Easter Egg Roll, a race in which children push decorated, hard-boiled eggs across the White House lawn, is an annual event held the Monday after Easter. The first official White House egg roll occurred in 1878, when Rutherford B. Hayes was president. More on this and the history of Easter

New York City will be having an Easter parade this year on Easter Sunday. No floats or marching bands in this famous parade: just "Put on your Easter Bonnet", as Bing Crosby sung decades ago, and stroll along Fifth Avenue, admiring the bonnets and the costumed pets.

GM Segway Puma Car

Segway and GM have announced that they are developing a Personal Urban
Mobility and Accessibility vehicle, or Puma. The official site has pictures and
videos, but it looks like a bigger version of the familiar Segway scooter with a
cab on top.



Photobucket

The 300-pound prototype runs on a lithium-ion battery and uses Segway's
characteristic two-wheel balancing technology, along with dual electric
motors, and features vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication for
potentially reducing the number of accidents. No word on when or if this'll
actually go into production but it's expected to be priced at just 25%
that of a regular automobile. It's designed to reach speeds of up to 35
miles-per-hour and can run 35 miles on a single charge.



It's about a fifth of the size of a car and can seat two people. The
upright two-wheeled design allows the vehicle to make extremely tight
turns, making parking much simpler.



Earlier this morning, teams from Segway and GM headed to the set of the Today Show to give the world’s first live television demo of the Project P.U.M.A. Prototype.

Did Kal Penn on House Really Die

Kal Penn Suicide Death

Tonight’s House episode had a huge shocking twist that isn’t finished yet for anyone that watched it. It has to do with House’s Lawrence Kutner. The audience was asked to track down the rest of the story at fox.com/kutner after the episode. The problem is, you have to wait until Hawaii has had a chance to watch it before the website has more information. Read about it below, see photos and a video. Be warned … spoiler alert!





Kal Penn

Kal Penn - House’s Lawrence Kutner

Tonight’s House took an ominous twist when the character played by Kal Penn didn’t show up for work. When Dr. Lawrence Kutner doesn’t show up for work, Dr. House sends Dr. Foreman (played by Peter Jacobson) and Dr. Hadley (also known as 13 and played by Olivia Wilde) to check out what’s going on. When they go to Kutner’s apartment, they find him laying in a pool of blood. It appears that Kutner has committed suicide by a self inflicted gunshot wound.

OH NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

The entire episode has to do with the issue of suicide. Dr. House spends the episode trying to figure out why Kutner would kill himself. The other characters are a husband and wife, each trying to save the other by donating their organs to each other. In effect, committing suicide to save their spouses.

With the team focusing on properly diagnosing the sick couple trying to give each other organs, there is Kutner’s suicide looming in the background. House can’t figure out why Kutner would kill himself and concludes that it wasn’t suicide, but murder. While everyone else is at the funeral, House is going through Kutner’s apartment looking for clues to solve the puzzle of why he would kill himself … or to get clues about whether or not he was murdered.

Regardless of how Dr. House ends up diagnosing this, it looks pretty certain that Kal Penn is leaving House.

And there it is …. the mystery of Kutner’s death. Murder or suicide? We know that Dr. House will figure it out before its all said and done. At the end of the episode, viewers are asked to go to fox.com/kutner for the rest of the story. However, you won’t get the rest of the story until after the Hawaiian audience has a chance to see the show. Talk about a cliff hanger! There will be a lot of people on the east coast staying up late tonight!

The Fox site is a mockup site that is a tribute to Dr. Lawrence Kutner (1975 - 2009). There is a Kutner memorial video and an obituary on the site. There is also a note from Chris Taub. There is a memorial site on Facebook where fans can leave notes and, of course, get a ton more information about the Kutner character.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen quite this much of a send off for a character on a show before. Then again, its a pretty good marketing ploy.

BTW, did you know that Kal Penn is his stage name? His real name is Kalpen Suresh Modi. He was born on April 23, 1977 in Montclair, New Jersey. His parents are both Hindu Gujarati immigrants from India. His father is an engineer and his mother is a fragrance evaluator.

You’ve probably seen Penn in other television roles. For instance, he had a recurring role on Day 6 of 24 and has played Dr. Lawrence Kutner on House for two seasons. He had a starring roles in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, The Namesake, Epic Movie and Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.

But its Kutner’s death, not Penn’s, that’s the subject of this episode of House.

Trace Adkins wins ACM's Single of the Year Award

Trace Adkins won his first Acadamy of Country Music Award since 1996. He picked up the 2009 Single of the Year award for 'You're Gonna Miss This.' No one was more surprised about the win than Trace himself.

"I have to tell you the truth. This song was recorded by a father whose oldest daughter had just gotten married. It was very personal to me, and I didn't think other people would relate to it the way I did," he said. "So it was put on a greatest hits album as a bonus track. Mike Dungan, President of Capitol Records, called one day and told me it was gonna be a single. And I said, 'Go ahead, but ain't nobody gonna play it.' I'm glad I'm an idiot!"

Giant Sea Worm


Staff at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium, have captured a giant sea worm that had been terrorizing other aquatic life.

This 4-foot-long sea worm was devastating coral reef and terrorizing fish at an aquarium in Cornwall, southwestern England, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday. The creature, known as "Barry," devoured bait traps - hooks and all - and bit through a 20-pound fishing line before staffers finally managed to capture it. The worm was moved to its own tank.

The creature is covered with nasty bristles that sting and can cause permanent numbness in humans, the newspaper said.
"Tt really does look like something out of a horror movie," Matt Slater, the aquarium's curator, told the Mail. "It's over 4 feet long with these bizarre-looking jaws."

American Idol winner David Cook back on tour

David Cook, last season’s “American Idol” winner, canceled two scheduled shows this week to deal with “family matters.”
No specifics were given on the “family matters,” but Cook’s brother, Adam, has been battling brain cancer. David Cook's representative told People magazine that Cook spent time with Adam last week.
The canceled shows were scheduled in New Hampshire and Connecticut, as part of his first tour, “The Declaration Tour,” running through October. The tour started in February to support his self-titled debut album.
He plans to hit the road again Thursday, according to his rep. Concert dates are currently scheduled through October.
