Jennifer Lopez Wants Her Own Reality Show

 Jennifer Lopez was recently named People magazine's Most Beautiful Person of This Year That Isn't Even Close To Being Over Yet, and the cover article profiled how she's not a drop of hand sanitizer different than any other mother of three year-old twins who says "staying beautiful is part of the job." Noticeably absent from the magazine's profile of just how BEAUTIFUL Lopez's life is (which seems to only consist of bonding with her son by painting his toe nails blue and letting her daughter pick out her mother's wardrobe) were details of her professional successes, of which there are many: she has a clothing line, a fragrance, a television production company called Nuyorican Productions that she co-founded with Benny Medina, an acting career, a judge's seat on American Idol, and an unmistakably BEAUTIFUL restaurant in Pasadena, California.

But it's starting to look like Lopez plans on expanding her BEAUTIFUL empire even more, as EW is reporting that she would like to build her own reality show. She has already partnered up with Idol producer Simon Fuller to search for a network that would air her very own series called Que Viva, where viewers would watch as Lopez and her husband Marc Antony travel around Latin America in search of finding musically gifted individuals.

In terms of her American Idol commitments, Lopez's contract requires that she keep judging, BEAUTIFULLY, MIGHT I ADD, for the rest of the season. It's likely producers will want her to sign on for another year (even though this season's ratings are somewhat lower than last year), but since Lopez and Fuller are both spearheading Que Viva, Fuller is probably more than willing to work out an agreement where Lopez can appear on both shows. The question is whether or not she can dart back and forth between South America and Los Angeles BEAUTIFULLY.

Michael Jackson doctor trial jury to see death photos

 

Lawyers for Dr Murray, shown in 2010, have suggested Jackson gave himself the lethal dose

Autopsy room images of late pop legend Michael Jackson can be shown to jurors at the trial of the doctor accused of causing his death, a judge has ruled.

Los Angeles Judge Michael Pastor sided with prosecutors who said the photos would show the star was healthy before he died in June 2009 of an overdose of a powerful surgical anaesthetic.

Dr Conrad Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

He had been treating the singer for insomnia.

In one image to be shown to the jury, the singer's dead body is seen laid out on a coroner's examination table in a hospital gown. In another he is naked but with parts of his body obscured.

"Although they are tragic, they are not gruesome or gory," said Deputy District Attorney David Walgren.

Google fined $5m over Linux patent row

By Maggie Shiels Technology reporter, BBC News, Silicon Valley

 

The past 14 months have seen 41 patent infringement allegations levelled at Google's Android software

 

 

A judgement by a Texas jury against Google could have major implications for the search giant and the open source world said experts.

The internet titan was found guilty of infringing a patent related to the Linux kernel and fined $5m (£3.2m).

The software is used by Google for its server platforms and could also extend to its Android mobile platform.

The kernel is at the core of the open-source operating system meaning this verdict could be far-reaching.

Mel Gibson plays down Hangover 'snub'

 

Gibson had not previously spoken about last year's much-reported events

Actor Mel Gibson has played down the loss of a cameo role in the sequel to comedy hit The Hangover, saying he was not "greatly offended" to be dropped.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time and it went south," he told US website Deadline. "You have to let that go."

Director Todd Phillips had planned to cast Gibson as a tattoo artist but reconsidered because he did not have his cast and crew's "full support".

Gibson, 55, is set to return to the big screen in comedy drama The Beaver.

"I like Todd. How could you not like Todd?" said the actor of The Hangover director. "He's smart and he's gifted and so are the other people in the film.

"You just move on and go okay. I'm not greatly offended by it."

Last month the Braveheart star pleaded no contest to a misdemeanour battery charge after a fight with his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva in 2010.

Recordings of Gibson purportedly arguing with Ms Grigorieva were posted on the internet last year.

In the interview, the actor and director claimed the tapes had been edited and had been part of "an irrationally heated discussion at the height of a breakdown".

"It's one terribly, awful moment in time, said to one person, in the span of one day," he is quoted as saying, adding that his widely reported comments did not "represent what I truly believe".

"The whole experience has been most unfortunate," he continued, adding that he "could easily not act again" in future.

Directed by Gibson's one-time co-star Jodie Foster, The Beaver is to be screened out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival next month.

The film, about a troubled family man who communicates with people by using a beaver hand puppet, will be released in the UK on 17 June.

Stephen Harper's party currently holds a substantial lead in opinion polls

Early voting has begun in Canada, ahead of the 2 May election to select a new federal government.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative Party holds a wide lead over rivals, recent polling suggests.

A Nanos Research survey of about 1,000 voters put the Conservatives on 37.8%, the Liberals on 26.7% and the New Democratic Party on 23.7%.

Mr Harper's minority government was forced into an election after a non-confidence vote in parliament.
