Pussycat Dolls split in row over Scherzinger?

Pussycat Dolls split in row over ScherzingerAmerican pop girls group The Pussycat Dolls has called it a day, amid jealous rows over the rising profile of lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, girlfriend of British motor racing ace Lewis Hamilton.

Band member Kimberly Wyatt confirmed Saturday that the group were taking a long break to consider their future, fuelling speculation that it's all over for the band who formed in LA in 2003, reports mirror.co.uk.

"The girls and I have just finished our huge world tour and are taking a break from the band and doing our own thing... We're all concentrating on our own projects and deciding what the future will hold," said Wyatt.

Rumours are rife that tensions have been mounting in the Pussycat camp for several months. The five-member ensemble has been divided by jealousy over the star treatment being meted out to their lead singer.

Earlier this year Scherzinger, 31, was singled out for special mention on the group's "Slumdog Millionaire" single "Jai jo", which was billed as The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger.

Kelly Osbourne Reveals Former 50 Vicodin Per Day Habit


Kelly Osbourne has revealed details on her previous drug addiction, which will come out in her book called “Fierce” in September. Read more of what Kelly had to say below.


Kelly Osbourne said her drug habit began at about age 16 when she began clubbing, and was offered the Vicodin by an acquaintance.

‘I was relaxed, tingly and happy. The next morning, I called the guy and bought two or three pills for about $20,’ she writes in her new book Fierce.

But Kelly’s addiction grew worse after her mother, Sharon, was diagnosed with cancer in 2002.

‘I was trying to stay strong so I took Vicodin to hide the terrible sadness. But by this point, I was waking up and emptying six Vicodin into my hand.

‘Soon I was taking 50 pills a day. Most people would overdose on ten.’

Her parents had no idea until photos of Kelly purchasing drugs were mailed to her family home. Sharon and Ozzy searched Kelly’s room and discovered 500 pills scattered around.

Kelly, now 24, was sent to rehab, for what would be the first of three stays. Then a year later Kelly was actually sent to a psych ward, where she finally got a control over her addiction.

Kelly also talks about growing up with famous parents…Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon in her book.

Kelly says her sister Aimee and brother Jack and her had Motley Crue as babysitters.

She also tells of her father falling asleep on parents evenings and entertaining her schoolfriends by drunkenly chasing them in his underwear.

He once terrified her friends by dressing as a werewolf and locking them in the garden shed.

As for her outspoken mother Sharon, she says her mother confronted her school boyfriend after he had dumped her.

Her mother yelled: ‘If you don’t stop saying nasty lies about my daughter, I’m going to chop your d*** off and shove it down your throat.’

And one time Sharon mailed a box filled with human fecesto a TV reviewer who described Kelly and Jack as fat.

So will you pick up Kelly’s book “Fierce” when it comes out next month? It should be quite an interesting read!

Shanna Moakler Slams Ex Travis Barker’s Claims On Her MySpace Blog


Former beauty queen Shanna Moakler was not at all happy with her ex-husband’s comments on Twitter so Moakler bashed Barker’s claims on her MySpace blog. Read what Shanna had to say below.


Travis Barker recently tweeted on how his ex was not a good mother and said she was having the children around a child molester.

Now Shanna Moakler is telling her side of the story on her MySpace blog.

She writes, “I am Very aware that one day my children will grow up and read what is on the internet. That is why I have tried every avenue to stop the abusive and false accusations which only hurts them in the long run.”

Moakler says she has “Zero tolerance for pedophiles,” adding, “If you touch a child, in my eyes, you should be sterilized. You’re rights taken away.”

She adds, “I think it is not only Absurd to suggest I would ever allow my child remotely near such a thing. This accusation is false and cruel and publicly damaging.”

She then touches on Travis’ online posts, raging, “I think running to social networks to slander others only draws negative attention, begins falsehoods for both parties. I have cooperated with my ex in every measure he has asked. I allowed my children to go on tour for 4 weeks with their father, I make visitation as easy as possible, I am even willing to take a tour bus home to ease his tensions with the children flying, a 3 days drive.”

Moakler then tells how awesome she is saying, “I am a Amazing mother, who loves and will protect her children fiercely! Any other notion would be simply ridiculous!”

Barker and Moakler briefly reconciled last year after Travis was badly burned in a plane crash. But the couple split again and have been at each other’s throats since that time.

Chris Brown Sentenced To Felony Probation For Five Years


Chris Brown has been placed on felony probation for 60 months by a judge in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Read more on Chris Brown’s sentencing and his other acts of violence against Rihanna previously unreported.


Chris Brown will be on probation for five years which entails not being permitted to possess a dangerous weapon and he must provide DNA samples to authorities upon request. Brown will also have to make personal court appearances once every three months during that time, beginning on Nov. 19.

Chris is also required to take part in a 52-week domestic violence program run by Commonwealth Catholic Charities in Richmond, Va.

Chris must also perform 180 hours of community labor, which the judge says he may complete in Virginia while he attends his year-long domestic violence program.

And Chris Brown will have to pay $2,500 in restitution.

Chris Brown was first arrested in Feb. 2008 for attacking his ex-girlfriend Rihanna after the pre-Grammy Awards party in Hollywood. Chris Brown pleaded guilty to the assault.

But new information has come out on Brown’s history of violent behavior.

Perez Hilton reported:

Brown’s February assault on Rihanna was not an isolated incident, as the domestic abuser was involved in (at least) two unreported acts of violence toward his ex-girlfriend.

According to a probation officer’s report, the first incident happened in Europe about three months prior to the February assault during a heated dispute between the pop stars. Rihanna slapped Chris and he responded by shoving her into a wall.

If that wasn’t enough, during a trip to Barbados in January, the two got in an argument in their rented Range Rover. Chris exited the vehicle and smashed both the driver’s and front passenger side windows. The pop stars were able to cover up that incident.

Actors Urged To Avoid Michael Jackson Movie

Actors Urged To Avoid Jackson MovieUnion bosses at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) have warned members not to take part in the documentary about Michael Jackson's doomed This Is It tour.

Sony Pictures have purchased rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage from concert promoters AEG Live, filmed at Los Angeles' Staples Center, as Jackson prepared for his residency at London's o2 Arena.

Sony has planned a two-week run for the film beginning 28 October (09); however, SAG bosses have announced that the film's producers have not agreed to the minimum basic terms and conditions for performers and background actors employed on the project.

A statement from the union reads: "Guild members are reminded of their obligation not to accept employment on any non-signatory project, as well as their obligation to confirm with the guild that a project is signatory.

"Employment on any non-signatory project within the guild's jurisdiction may subject a member to a Rule One violation."

The union did not have jurisdiction over rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage during filming, which it expects to be a feature release.

Jackson was set to take the stage in July (09), just weeks after he died from cardiac arrest on 25 June (09).

Father's Day is on the Way


"Father's Day" is coming up in a few days time, and I am looking forward to a nice present from my young son A.J. Anything will do, even a cordless hammer !

I will be showing my current group of students the following classic Father's Day video at the end of the week, just to let them know what all good fathers should be doing for their children.

(Unfortunately the video is extremely slow to load in, so please be patient).
Perhaps just push play to get it started, and then pause it for a while and go off and do something else while it loads in.

Flash Frame by Frame Animation



Wouldn't it be great to see the next few frames for the above action event.
Who actually ends up in the water ?

The following Frame by Frame Animations were done in Flash CS3 using images from the web. I made a couple of them, but mostly they were made by my students.

This blog post may take a few minutes to complete loading in.

Some of the animations have small glitches where the background jumps out of position during the movie. I should have told the students to check the x and y coordinate values of the background image on every frame of their animation. As long as these x and y coordinates remain constant, the background should not move.

A bit of a strange cricketing sequence of events in this one:





Is this Alien lost, or just getting dizzy ?






One of those classic Plane vs Bird Movies:






Beauty and the Beast busy practicing for the latest dance competition:






A classic "Dukes of Hazard" car jump that one of my students made.








Here is Bart Simpson Skating it up, just as he always does.

Lindsay Lohan`s neighbours want her to move out

Lindsay Lohan`s neighbours want her to move outLindsay Lohan’s neighbours apparently want the actress to move out after being fed up with the paparazzi who take up the parking space.

The singer’s peeved neighbours said “it has been a nightmare” ever since the star, whose house has been twice burglarised, shifted in Hollywood Hills, according to RadarOnline.com.

"The truth is that this is a very quiet neighborhood and there have been no break-ins apart from at Lindsay Lohan''s house," the New York Daily News quoted a neighbour as saying.

"Since she moved in last November it has been a nightmare with all the paparazzi parking in our driveways waiting for her," the neighbour added.

The neighbour also said: "I've got nothing personal against her but she needs to find a home in a gated community with security at the main gate because all the residents are fed-up with the situation.

Learn Blues Guitar Online Here


The magnificent Jimi Hendrix, a bit before my time, but undoubtedly one of the best guitarists to ever lay down blues derived music on an electric guitar.

Okay, so this blog post is not directly ICT related; however it does review some excellent learning material that is available on the internet for guitarists.

So if you don’t like Guitar, then perhaps totally skip reading this post.

The sample videos shown here, are all by a guy called “Marty”, who is a great practitioner and teacher of blues guitar. He even looks a bit like he is Billy Joel’s younger brother !

Part of the purpose of making these You Tube videos seems to be to advertise what is available at the “Next Level Guitar” website. (More on that a bit later on).

Here is an 8 minute video that explains how Jimi Hendrix added inversions of common chords to his guitar playing to create a new and distinctive style of guitar songs.



The next video is really good for beginner guitarists, as it shows very clearly blue improvisation methods on the guitar. Marty takes things nice and slow so we can all easily understand what is going on.




The following is an 11 minute video all about how to play BB King style. Marty shows how to mix in major scales to create the classic signature "sweet" sound of the legendary BB King.



There are a few more videos on You Tube by Marty, but as his final one for this post, here is a 10 minute video about Blues Acoustic Guitar that shows some great forms of the A7 chord all the way up past the 12th fret.





The “Next Level Guitar” website is a comprehensive online learning resource for guitarists. It is a bit like a “Lynda.com” of guitar lessons. (Lynda.com provide a comprehensive range of computer software tutorials for Microsoft, Adobe, and many other applications).

The “Next Level Guitar” website is at: http://www.nextlevelguitar.com

On the top of page Index tab, we can click on “Free Videos”, and there are around 40 videos that can be viewed. Some of these videos, are merely previews of parts of DVD’s that they have available for sale elsewhere on their website. These DVD’s look to be quite good. Typically they cover just one classic guitar song like Hendrix’s “Hey Joe” or Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water”. The DVD then spends two hours showing every single part of the song, and how to play it. These DVD's seem to retail for around $25 US each, which is not a bad price, considering it is going to be at least a full day’s entertainment working through the DVD learning the song.

Note that while viewing the free videos: If we double click on any video while it is playing we get taken to Metacafe, and can see and find even more videos that we can watch about playing guitar that have been made by the folks at “Next Level Guitar”.

You can also become a premium member of their website for less than $30 US per month. This membership obtain access to a range of beginner, intermediate and advanced guitar playing courses. These courses have their videos for viewing online, and include downloadable resources, such as music backing tracks.

I am thinking on perhaps trying out the online membership for a month later on this year. If I do, rest assured I will do a comprehensive blog post review about it.

Hoping your blues is only of the guitar playing kind.

Enjoy,

Making Adjustments for Guitarists


So what is this blog post all about ? After all, electric guitars were around well before personal computers. So what has all this got to do with ICT ?

Well the point I am trying to make here, is that no matter what your passion,
or whatever the task you need to perform, then You Tube probably has the answers.

So for anyone out there who loves the Fender Stratocaster style of guitar; here are some useful ways to ensure your guitar is setup for optimal playing performance.


String Height (“Action”) Adjustment:





Stratocaster "Truss Rod" Adjustment:


On a Strat, it is a solid bar that goes through the whole neck. It controls the arc that the neck has. Often necks have a little bit of curvature along them.




Setting the Intonation (12th fret tuning):




Hope you find this information to be "finger picking good" !

Enjoy,

Flashing Your Message Out There


The above flashing message was made by using some basic frame by frame animation in Flash.

A good message to make is to simply make your own name flashing.
Or perhaps you might get a picture of your favourite sports team, exotic car, music group, or celebrity, and add a flashing message over the top of the image.


If we change the colour of the text in each frame, then we can get rapid bursts of colour as the message unrolls across the screen. This creates a bright rapid flashing light effect: like those bogus "You're today's Winner" advertisements, that are often found on commercial internet web sites.

Students love writing their name in flashing letters like this, although I must admit that I find all of it a bit too bright and demanding on the eyes.
(Must be a GenX versus GenY thing I guess).

If a student doesn't want to make the flashing colours part of the animation, then do not force them to do it. They can make uni-colour rolling text, and that would be fine for practicing frame by frame animation.

The PDF document below gives detailed step by step instructions on how to make a flashing message using Adobe Flash CS3.




If you would like to open or download a full size copy of these instructions,then click the link below.



So why not make your own very flashy message to the world.

Enjoy,
