After receiving instructions to do so, she brought the stuff from Ulong rowing to Koror. She then gave up her Ulong buff and got a new Koror buff.

Kate Gosselin: Extensions Shocker!
A colossal news event has shaken the foundations of the reality TV world, as former star of "Jon & Kate Plus 8," Kate Gosselin has revealed a new look that involves brand new hair extensions!
Extensions are usually used to make a woman's hair longer (or a man's, we see you Fabio), but in this case Kate actually put in new extensions that are 4 inches shorter than her previous ones. She got the extensions put in by another reality TV stalwart, Ted Gibson of What Not To Wear. Gosselin is also set to release her third book (she has written three books??) entitled I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith and Family, which will apparently feature prayers, excerpts from her journals, and letters to each of her children.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Sue Tabloid
After several public appearances that seemed to squash the rumor that they had split up, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are taking it to the next level and striking back at the British tabloids who started the rumors of their split, and sending their lawyers to sue the "News of The World" paper in London.
Their lawyer Keith Schilling said that the paper started the story began a chain reaction that spread the falsehoods throughout the media and internet, and also that the newspaper failed to offer an apology to the couple after the falsehood of their stories was revealed.

Amanda Kimmel & Ozzy Lusth: Together?
As Survivor gets set to debut their new "Heroes vs. Villains" season, viewers are wondering whether one returning contestant, Amanda Kimmel, is still in her romance (or "showmance") with fellow Micronesia cast-member Ozzy Lusth.
Amanda and Ozzy continued seeing each other after the show ended, and were still together later on when that season's reunion show was filmed. But now that Amanda Kimmel is coming back for this season, which will be her third in all, will she be back on the market for another showmance, or is she still tied up with Ozzy Lusth? Some reports on the internet say they had already broken up before this show began, but I guess we will find out for sure when the new show debuts.

Dr. Conrad Murray Met Michael Jackson in 2006
Dr. Conrad Murray, the infamous doctor that many blame for the death of Michael Jackson, is under more scrutiny than ever for his relationship with the music superstar as he now faces charges for involuntary manslaughter in that tragic death caused by an overdose of the drug Propofol.
Dr. Murray met Michael Jackson in 2006, and soon became a regular part of Jackson's life, providing medical assistance that some have alleged took the form of simply giving Michael whatever drugs he wanted, including many unethical prescriptions and improperly administering drugs that should not have been given. The death has been ruled a homicide, and Dr. Conrad Murray may need serious help from his attorneys to escape serious punishment.

Houston attorney Ed Chernoff said Murray wasn't ready for this kind of speculation and attack and hopes to be able to talk publicly after results of the pop singer's toxicology report are completed. "He has nothing to hide," Chernoff told the Chronicle Monday. "The doctor will be proven to be innocent..."

"We'll Make Bail, We'll Plead Not Guilty": MJ Doc
Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray, who many blame for the star's tragic death, is now facing serious charges for involuntary manslaughter for the incident in which Jackson was given a deadly dose of the drug Propofol.
Conrad Murray is a cardiologist by trade, but assumed a sort-of catch all medical service provider for Michael Jackson, allegedly providing whatever sort of drug MJ wanted from day-to-day. Ed Chernoff "We'll make bail, we'll plead not guilty and we'll fight like hell," The American Society of Anesthesiologists has said that that doctors using propofol need training to manage the possible complications that come with anesthesia, and they must be physically present throughout sedation and monitor patients "without interruption" to make sure nothing goes wrong. Rescue equipment "must be immediately available," it said.
We'll Make Bail, We'll Plead Not Guilty
chron.comMichael Jackson's doctor has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of the pop star. Dr. Conrad Murray, a Houston cardiologist who was with Jackson when he died June 25, entered his plea Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court just hours after he was charged. He could face up to four years in prison if convicted. Murray appeared in court in a gray suit as Jackson's father Joe, mother Katherine, and siblings LaToya, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Randy sat behind prosecutors.

Brangelina Super Bowl Smooching? (photo link)
There were lots of rumors recently about Brangelina's relationship and how it is possibly on the rocks, but at the Super Bowl last night they were photographed looking quite affectionate with each other, with Brad Pitt embracing Angelna and planting a big kiss on her cheek and temple. They were sitting together in one of the luxury sky boxes at the game in Miami, and were most likely rooting for New Orleans where they have recently made a home and done lots of work to try and help that community recover from Hurricane Katrina.
It would appear the rumors of their breakup have been highly exaggerated, and in fact Brad and Angelina are said to be prepping their lawyers for a lawsuit against the British tabloid named "OK!" that drove the rumors, Brangelina had sought an apology and retraction from the publication but they apparently refused, so now they may see a day in court.

It should include the 4 c's of color, cut, clarity and carat, as well as the shape and size. And, like your house, don't forget to get the ring insured."

Waterboarding Daughter in America?
In a story that is difficult to believe or stomach, a US Army Sergeant has been accused this week of waterboarding his own 4-year-old daughter, because she refused to say her ABCs.
The Sergeant, who served 15 months in Iraq, is currently restricted to his military base in Washington after being arrested for assaulting a child. The police initially arrived to investigate a disturbance involving the man and his girlfriend but upon interviewing her discovered the possible issues with the daughter, whom they found in a locked bathroom.
Police explained: "We had a report of [Tabor] walking around his neighborhood holding a Kevlar helmet and threatening to bust out windows, In the process of talking to Tabor's girlfriend about what was going on, we learned that he had also been abusing his daughter." There seems to be indication of mental illness on his part, with reports of him walking around his neighborhood with a kevlar helmet and making threats to the property of his neighbors. There is no word yet on whether psychological trauma from his time serving in Iraq may have caused some PTSD or mental illness for him.

Montag "Very Fragile"
Heidi Montag made lots of people worry for her health last month, both physical and mental, when she got an incredible ten cosmetic surgery procedures done in a single day, even though she looked perfectly beautiful beforehand. Amd weeks after the procedure, Montag reports she is still "very fragile" but continues to insist the plastic surgery binge was a good idea that she does not regret.
She says she still feels the impact in her body, from the drastic range of procedures her doctors and surgeon let her get, and her body is still sore and far from fully healed. Heidi says a necessary trip home to be with her mother also slowed down her recovery. About the trip she reported, "I was hysterical the whole time, It was so hurtful. My body really set back from recovering from all the crying, stress and that traumatic experience. My insides were just throbbing and pounding but I know it's part of what I had to go through."

Ashton Kutcher SNL News (VIDEO)
Ashton Kutcher, with his second SNL appearance, is quickly puting himself in the running for favorite regular SNL host, according to TV critics who raved about this second appearance.
Ashton was in town to promote his new movie "Valentine's Day" (which induces nausea in this blogger but hopefully others will be more open-minded), and took part in a variety of very funny skits in this SNL comeback. He did a faux Cialis ad, portrayed Mel Gibson sitting in on the view (and was actually a bit friendlier than the real Gibson, going by other recent footage) All in all, Ashton Kutcher is not on Steve Martin status just yet but give him a few more rounds and he might be on his way.

Last night, he called back to that bit to prove how far he'd come since then - but as the fourth Ashton Kutcher SNL show proved, he may not be that mature yet at 32...

Saturday Night Live Fox News Slam! (VIDEO)
Saturday Night Live vs. Fox News? This weekend's episode of Saturday Night Live opened with a satirical skewering of the "fair and balanced network" that portrayed many of their top stars, and this could be a war for the ages, if Rupert Murdoch's conservative news behemoth decides not to take it lying down!
The skit had SNL cast members potraying Greta Van Susteren, Glenn Beck, "Attractive Blond Lady" Karl Rove and Oliver North. After all the ribbing Fox has already gotten from saitirists like Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, not to mention the President himself, I'd imagine they Fox network must be itching to take some shots back. Will Bill O'Rreilly step up for the team? Sean Hannity? I'm just gonna get some popcorn and sit down to watch.

H1N1 Epidemic Over?
The H1N1 virus also known as the swine flu terrorized the globe for much of last year, but according to experts the danger may soon be a thing of the past, as the virus is already on its way to fading out of our lives.
According to doctors and medical experts quotes in the article below, the virus that was just recently a rising epidemic now has "one foot in the grave," and there are numerous reasons to believe there will not be another wave of Swine Flu later in the year. The virus has shown no signs of mutating and all results indicate the vaccine and treatments have been quite effective.
Reports internationally bring similar good tidings, though every expert is not certain we can breathe a sigh of relief just yet. At the very least though authorities should get some credit this time for being on top of a potential crisis and taking proper measures to make sure it didn't get out of control.
H1N1 Epidemic Over?
wlkyIf the U.S. swine flu epidemic isn't over, it certainly looks as if it's on its last legs. While federal health officials are not ready to declare the threat has passed and the outbreak has run its course, they did report Friday that for the fourth week in a row, no states had widespread flu activity. U.S. cases have been declining since late October. The vaccine against it is effective. And roughly half the people in the U.S. probably have some immunity because they were infected with it or got vaccinated...

But once Vince Lombardi took over as head coach, he took Bart Starr under his wong and turned him into one of football's first great quarterbacks. He went on to be the MVP in the first two Super Bowls, and carried a streak of several years in which the Green Bay Packers went undefeatedin the postseason.
