The New Dial Tone – a snapshot of of blogging’s future

Steven Hodson — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:28:45 +0000

If you are interested in new media of any kind albeit Twitter or blogging which has really become the standard now of news, opinion, and even gossip publishing then do yourself a favor and take the five or ten minutes to watch The New Dial Tone.

On the surface it is an excellently produced snapshot by Michael Sean Wright and Marc Ostrick of the recent Blog World Expo conference that was held in Las Vegas. As Michael described it in the video it is the Burning Man event for bloggers. Using a Kodak Zi8 and a Flip Ultra HD cameras Michael and Marc stretch the abilities of the medium to produce a high quality look at what is making social media tick.

Well done guys and a big hat tip to Mark for the link.

Jon Gosselin Parties with 30 Bikini Babes in Vegas

Paul Short — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 01:28:48 +0000

Jon Gosselin was out at Wet Republic in Vegas recently partying with dozens of bikini clad ladies.

Jon showed up at a private cabana at the theme park at about 3:15pm and at 3:20 there were more than 30 women gathered around him. The bikini babes were treating him like some kind of celebrity, all taking turns walking up to him, introducing themselves and making small talk. While getting to know them, Jon made them drinks, smoked with them and generally partied.

So which one of the lovely ladies will be the next to be seen in paparazzi pics with him? Which one will have every detail of their college lives exposed and scrutinized by every celebrity blog on the web? Who will have their Facebook profile pics examined…

30 bikini babes??

Paris Jackson’s hair secured after haircut in Las Vegas

Kim LaCapria — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:48:43 +0000

Last weekend, Paris Jackson had a girls’ day out with grandma Katherine in Las Vegas.

In addition to a shopping spree, Little Miss Jackson went with her grandma for what is, by some accounts, her first haircut. Not necessarily remarkable, in and of itself, but the Daily Mail reported that after the trim, a “minder” gathered up and secured Paris’s shorn hair. Speculation is that the Jackson corporation family wants to avoid DNA testing.

Commenters posited that in order to DNA test, the root of the hair is needed. However, and sadly so, that doesn’t preclude the fact that anyone and everyone who could would probably seize upon the poor child’s cut hair to sell or at least attempt to test. And the three kids are getting old enough that reports questioning their biological parentage could be overheard. Considering the sheltered nature of their upbringing and recent devastating and traumatic loss of the only parent they knew, such speculation could really emotionally harm them. (Remember the girl’s heart-rending speech at her father’s very public funeral?)

A local TV reporter also being serviced in the salon was reported as saying:

‘Can you imagine the value of Paris’s hair? DNA – the truth, finally.’

Las Vegas Snow Pictures

Snow isn’t something regularly seen on the Las Vegas strip, and even less likely in December, but a serious dumping of snow of up to 3 1/2 inches (10cm) caused delays at the airport and gave tourists an early white Christmas Vegas style.

If you’ve even been to Las Vegas before, you’ll recognize the Las Vegas snow pictures, but even if you haven’t, there’s some great shots.

Guest Poster — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:30:00 +0000

Celebrity gossip TMZ is reporting that Terry Semel’s daughter Courtenay, formerly linked with actress Lindsay Lohan and currently dating MySpace and reality show star Tila Tequila, was arrested in Las Vegas last night.

The incident occurred at the club Pure at Caesars Palace, and Courtenay is alleged to have hit a Pure security guard in the back of the head with her purse. Caesars’ security force detained Courtenay until police arrived and arrested her, issuing a citation for battery.

Daddy must be so proud. Then again, this sort of press may actually make him feel better about the press he got during his tenure at Yahoo.
