From Steel City to The Horseshoe: Bruce Arians To Colts
(Via ESPN)
"Former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians has agreed to become the Indianapolis Colts' new offensive coordinator, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Hensley: Bruce Arians' "retirement" ends
Ex-Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians' "retirement" lasted eight days, until he landed in an unlikely destination, writes Jamison Hensley. Blog
Arians is scheduled to fly to Indianapolis on Monday to review and sign the contract.
Team sources had told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen Jan. 22 that the Steelers let Arians' contract expire against the wishes of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The sources said Steelers president Art Rooney II wants the team to regain its blue-collar identity on offense.
Arians, 59, had been the only offensive coordinator in coach Mike Tomlin's five seasons with the Steelers. During his time as coordinator, he turned the Steelers from a run-first team to a pass-heavy one to better suit Roethlisberger.
Pittsburgh ranked in the top half of the NFL in offense during the past three seasons, but finished a disappointing 12th this past season."

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer Disrespects President Obama with Finger Pointing
(Via ABC News)
"...Brewer, who was on the tarmac to greet Obama, hand-delivered a letter before engaging the president "intensely" for several minutes, including pointing her finger directly at him, according to Politico's Carrie Budoff Brown, acting as a pool reporter for other media outlets.

Accounts from both camps later said the terse talk focused on Brewer's book - "Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media and Cynical Politicos to Secure America's Border."
The book, which was released in November, describes a June 2010 Oval Office meeting between Obama and Brewer aimed at diffusing conflicts surrounding Arizona's controversial state immigration law and the administration's immigration policy."

Beef! Joan Rivers Calls Chelsea Handler a "Drunk" and "Whore" on Howard Stern
(Via NY Post)
Sharp-tongued funnywoman Joan Rivers called late-night talk show host Chelsea Handler a "drunk" and a "whore" during a radio interview with Howard Stern Tuesday.... Handler "made it on her back, f*cking the president [of E!] ... we all know how she got there."
Rivers was referring to Handler's relationship with Ted Harbert, former CEO of Comcast Entertainment Group, the parent company of E! Entertainment Television where Handler's show airs. The pair dated from 2006 to 2010.
....."She's fine, she's ordinary, she's not a genius," Rivers added about Handler, 36.

2012 Oscar Nominations (Full List)
One glaring snub was in the Best Original Score category, where Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross were snubbed for "The Girl With the Dargon Tattoo"; Really?
Sure "The Artist" will probably win for Best Score and deserverdly so, its great piece of musical artistry but most critics would agree that Rezno/Ross's score was just as compelling and dserved a shot to compete.

Seal Discusses Split with Heidi Klum on Ellen “I Think We Were Shocked"
Seal recently appeared on Ellen where he talks about his recently separeation from spouse Heidi Klum:
“I think we were shocked. You go into these things with the greatest intentions when you say ‘I do’ and you say ’til death do us part.’ Those vows hold value. They are not just words… You try and you work through it and the thing that you quickly realize when you are married and you become a parent you do the best that you can.”
“....It makes you actually appreciate your parents a lot more. The thing that I’m most proud about this great woman who married (and I really do mean that from the bottom of my heart), is that together she has given me four incredible gifts…four beautiful children [Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou]. She still, in my opinion, the most wonderful woman in the world. I think our priority was to remain civil and do this thing with dignity.
We still very much love each other. To say that neither of us were grieving would be an out and out lie (and I don’t mind telling you that). I think the operative here is that we are civil to each other and we both have a tremendous amount respect and love and we try and do this with as much dignity as we possibly can.”
Seal's appearance on Ellen will air later this week.
LA Weekly: "Skee-Lo Wished He Was a Little Bit Taller. Then He Promptly Retired"
Skee-Lo - I Wish by matricule1967
"...I retired five months after it ("I Wish") was released," Skee-Lo says, drinking coffee at the Denny's on Crenshaw and 37th, a few blocks from the home he shares with his wife and two children. "Not only did my label [Sunshine] take credit for producing 'I Wish,' they took all the profits. So I refused to shoot any more videos, promote or record music. I'm not their slave. I wasn't working for free.
.....After a half-decade of legal battles, Skee-Lo wrangled back his publishing rights. He proudly notes that he receives every cent when the song is purchased and played today. But even though he kept busy doing shows during his "retirement," his recording hiatus left him adrift and depressed, even after the royalty money kicked in.
"It got to the point where I told my wife and children that I didn't want to live anymore," Skee-Lo says of his low ebb five years ago. "Then a voice spoke to me clearly and said, 'At what point in your life were you truly happy."

New York Times: Etta James, Powerful Voice Behind ‘At Last,’ Dies at 73
Etta James - Something's Got A Hold On Me HD by alexandru2006
(Via @nytimes)
"Etta James was born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles on Jan. 25, 1938. Her mother, Dorothy Hawkins, was 14 at the time; her father was long gone, and Ms. James never knew for sure who he was, although she recalled her mother telling her that he was the celebrated pool player Rudolf Wanderone, better known as Minnesota Fats. She was reared by foster parents and moved to San Francisco with her mother when she was 12.
She began singing at the St. Paul Baptist Church in Los Angeles at 5 and turned to secular music as a teenager, forming a vocal group with two friends. She was 15 when she made her first record, “Roll With Me Henry,” which set her own lyrics to the tune of Hank Ballard and the Midnighters’ recent hit “Work With Me Annie.” When some disc jockeys complained that the title was too suggestive, the name was changed to “The Wallflower,” although the record itself was not.
....In 1960 Ms. James was signed by Chess Records, the Chicago label that was home to Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and other leading lights of black music. She quickly had a string of hits, including “All I Could Do Was Cry,” “Trust in Me” and “At Last,” which established her as Chess’s first major female star.
...“A lot of people think the blues is depressing,” she told The Los Angeles Times in 1992, “but that’s not the blues I’m singing. When I’m singing blues, I’m singing life. People that can’t stand to listen to the blues, they’ve got to be phonies.”

GQ Article: T.O. Has No Friends and Lost $80 Million???
Recently, former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens tweeted that he is joining the Indoor Football team the Allen Wranglers as a player and co-owner. This a sad state of affairs for a man who was once considered one of the most dominant offensive players in the NFL. The story is far worse as T.O. opens to GQ magazine, where Owens seems to be friend-less and penniless:
"...Owens may have made a lot of money in his career—at least $80 million—but he insists almost all of it is gone....The problem, he says, is that he's by nature too trusting, loyal to a fault, despite everyone's carping that he's selfish. It's the sad old stereotypical song of the up-from-nothing black athlete: He let other people take care of things. He says his financial advisers (informally recommended by Rosenhaus) put him in a series of risky, highly leveraged ventures that he didn't discover until autumn 2010, when he finally demanded a full accounting.
...It's times like these that he misses Monique and Kita, who used to check in a lot; he fell out with them a few months ago, after shooting ended for the final season of the (T.O.0 show, when he discovered they were trying to sell their own lives as a reality program. "They said they were planning to make me an executive producer, but if we were business partners, don't you think I would have known about it?"
"I don't have no friends. I don't want no friends. That's how I feel," he said.

Rihanna's 2012 Armani Lingerie and Jeans campaign (Photo)
(Via Daily Mirror)
"Her lingerie advertising campaign for Armani was voted the sexiest set of 2011 so it’s no surprise to see her back showing off the latest line.
Rihanna is taking her second stab at being the brand’s face and body and is looking as seductive as ever.
The singer showed off a cropped blonde look in her first campaign but she has gone dark for the new adverts."

Though she released a statement that said "he is my father for life and I love my dad dearly," rumors spread that they were no longer speaking due to money he reportedly stole from her during the course of her career. Add in the fact he got a woman pregnant after cheating on Bey's mom, Tina Knowles and all was definitely not butterflies and rainbows in that family circle."
