There is something about Taylor Swift that makes fans buy the tickets and it is not only her singing voice. With her gorgeous looks, it is not really surprising to note why she was able to pack in the Staples Center in Los Angeles on May 22 for an upcoming concert. It took only 2 minutes for the tickets to be sold out!
Taylor will be at the Staples Center this Sunday night, performing live on the 51st Annual Grammy Awards. This will mark the debut television performance of Taylor’s song “Fifteen” from her Fearless CD. Miley Cyrus is joining Taylor for a special duet version.

The salmonella issue continues as another company has issued a recall on its products, Simply Enjoy Sweet and Salty Mixed Nuts by Stop & Shop Supermarket. The item was removed from store shelves because the product contains peanuts supplied by Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) and has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella bacteria.
Customers who have purchased this product should not consume it and may return any unused portions or bring their purchase receipt to any Stop & Shop for a full refund. To date, Stop & Shop has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.

Julia Ormond who had stints with “Legends of the Fall” and “Sabrina” appears in another movie in Lifetime Movie Network’s “The Wronged Man” in November 2009. Mahershalalhashbaz Ali (The 4400), Ormond’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button co-star, also joins the cast as an African-American husband and father convicted of raping a young girl.
The film is based on the true story of an unlikely friendship between paralegal Janet Gregory (Ormond) and Calvin Willis (Ali) as they fight to overturn his sentence and restore faith in the justice system. The Wronged Man, from executive producer Gale Anne Hurd’s (The Incredible Hulk) Valhalla Motion Pictures and Sony Pictures Television, will begin production this month.

Ninguém mais duvida que com a web 2.0 ficou muito mais fácil para as marcas monitorarem o que vem sendo dito sobre elas na internet. A última novidade é o Spy – um site que permite fazer com que as marcas possam descobrir o que está sendo comentado sobre elas (em tempo real).
Uma plataforma equivalente a um live stream, o Spy atualiza constantemente tudo o que está sendo dito sobre a sua marca no Twitter, FriendFeed, Flickr, Comentários em Blogs, Yahoo News e Google Reader. Tudo ao mesmo tempo.
Você digita o nome da marca no campo de pesquisa e, em seguida, começa a acompanhar todas as conversas que vão se atualizando sem ao menos você clicar em algum botão.

MINNEAPOLIS (AdAge.com) — Back in her "Today" days, Katie Couric followed many stars who had national "moments." Lately, she could be reporting on herself, as we seem to be in a "Katie Couric moment," triggered by her campaign-defining interview with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, which in part led to her evening news program getting an 8 p.m.-time-slot tryout last week. And this week, she's prominent in prime time twice, with last night's "All Access Grammy" special and this Sunday's "Sully" exclusive, in which she gets the first official crack (ESPN got the unofficial one) at hero pilot Capt. Chesley Sullenberger.
