Was Terrence Howard A Stalker Before 'Shine Through It' ?

In a surprising disclosure, Hollywood Actor/singer Terrence Howard says he was inspired to pen a song about spying on his wife.

According to Howard, afterward the split from his wife of 14 years he pedunculate her for some time, providing inspiration for what would be a birdcall on his debut album "Shine Through It." "I wrote that song ("No. 1 Fan") as a stalker," said the actor. "It was
raining, and I was sitting on that point in front of the house, observation her
come home from a date after we were divorced."

Howard reportedly penned the song after the date "I was imagining what she did on this date, and observance her giving him a kiss. I went plate and wrote this song."

Understanding Air Circulation In The Atmosphere Will Help Predict Weather Events

�Air circulates above the Earth in four distinct cells, with two either side of the equator, says new research in Science.



The fresh observational study describes how air rises and falls in the atmosphere above the Earth's surface, creating the world's weather. This process of atmospheric circulation creates weather patterns and influences the climate of the major planet. It is important to understand these processes in order to predict weather events, and to meliorate and test climate models.



Previous theories have got claimed that there ar just two large circular systems of air in the atmosphere, one either side of the equator. These theories suggested that air rises at the equator and then travels towards either the north or dixieland polar regions, where it falls.



The new research suggests instead that there ar two cells in both the northerly and southerly hemispheres. In the first cell, gentle wind rises at the equator and then falls in the subtropics. In the second cadre, air rises in the mid-latitudes - approximately 30 to 60 degrees second Earl of Guilford and south of the equator - and then falls in the polar regions.



The researchers say that this second cell of rising line is a mechanism responsible for context the distribution of temperature and winds in the mid-latitudes which has not been in full appreciated earlier. The mid-latitudes include the UK, Europe and most of the United States.



Dr Arnaud Czaja from Imperial College London's Department of Physics and the Grantham Institute for Climate Change, one of the authors of the new inquiry, explains: "Our model suggests that thither is a second jail cell of air in each hemisphere which is characterised by atmosphere rising, clouds forming, storms developing and other processes associated with moisture in the line occurring in the mid-latitudes."



Current theories to describe endure patterns in the mid-latitudes do not take these moisture-based processes into consideration. Dr Czaja argues that these theories are consequently incomplete, and that water vapour plays as practically of an important purpose in the weather systems of the mid-latitudes as it does in the tropics, where it is a well-documented driver of weather events.



The research team carried kO'd their work by conducting new analyses of extended meteorological information. Dr Czaja says that he hopes the research will lead to a more elaborated understanding of how air circulation in our air works, and how it affects the weather:



"With more attention than ever earlier being focused on understanding our planet's climate, weather systems and atmosphere, it's important that scientists challenge their own assumptions and current theories of how these complex processes put to work. I think our subject field sheds modern light on the driving forces behind the weather in the mid-latitudes," Dr Czaja added.

Three artists chewing on updated gum jingles

Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Julianne Hough remixing tunes




NEW YORK -- Wrigley's is turning to contemporary artists Ne-Yo, Chris Brown and Julianne Hough to remix its signature chewing gum jingles. Chris Brown will sing about Doublemint, Ne-Yo will update Big Red, and Julianne Hough is paired with Juicy Fruit.

Wrigley's will host a concert in New York on Tuesday to unveil the jingles. Radio station Hot 97 is expected to give away tickets for the shew as region of the promotion. An advertising run from New York's Translation Advertising, part of the IPG network, will launch shortly thereafter.

Hints that Brown would be partnering with Wrigley's were dropped earlier this year in his video "Forever" from his rerelease, "Exclusive (The Forever Edition)." In the beginning of the video he eats a piece of gum and in the chorus sings the line "double your pleasure, duple your fun," the longtime tag line for Doublemint.

Meanwhile, McDonald's lately named the winner of a contest to remix one of its jingles from the 1970s, "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun."

Jason Harper from Boynton Beach, Fla., beat out more than 1,000 other contestants with his version. "For a long time citizenry went off from jingles. I think the pendulum is swing back and will settle somewhere in the midriff," McDonald's foreman creative ship's officer Marlena Peleo-Lazar said. "There might be a new expression of the jingle -- it just won't be like we remember it."

McDonald's has brought back the "deuce all-beef patties" jingle twice before, once in 1996 and once again in 2003. But this time it is being used a lot more extensively. And the company hasn't ruled out resurrecting other jingles. "You never know; it depends on the project," Peleo-Lazar says.

On CBS, jingles are being given their possess network TV forum. Gene Simmons is already lined up as one of the judges for the "Apprentice"-style show "Jingles," from "Survivor" manufacturer Mark Burnett. On the show, which does non have still have an airdate, contestants will contend for a $100,000 grand pillage by writing jingles for real products. Kimberly Caldwell, a finalist on the second season of "American Idol," is slated to host.

Panda kicks Sandler at U.S. box office

By Dean Goodman


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Moviegoers across North America
were in a fighting mood during the weekend, cheering the family
cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" to the top spot at a box office packed
with hits.


DreamWorks Animation's Jack Black comedy about a panda who
dreams of martial arts glory handily earned an estimated $60
million during its first three days, distributor Paramount
Pictures said on Sunday. The firms had hoped for an opening in
the high $40 million range.


But it was not a complete knockout. Columbia Pictures' Adam
Sandler comedy "You Don't Mess with the Zohan," in which the
comedian plays an Israeli commando-turned-New York hairdresser,
opened at No. 2 with $40 million. It also beat forecasts of a
debut in the mid- to high $30 million range.


But observers said top honors really could have gone either
way. In one corner, "Kung Fu Panda" was powered by rave reviews
and an underserved family audience; in the other, Sandler could
count on young male fans unlikely to be swayed by negative
notices from puzzled critics.


As it turned out, both played beyond their traditional
audiences. DreamWorks Animation said 71 percent of the audience
was older than 17, while Columbia said women accounted for 51
percent of the "Zohan" crowd.



'SEX' LOSES STEAM


Last weekend's champ, New Line Cinema's romantic comedy
"Sex and the City," fell to No. 4 with $21.3 million, a massive
63 percent drop from its surprisingly strong opening weekend.
Sales to date stand at $99.3 million for the big-screen
adaptation of HBO's fashion-and-relationship series.


Just ahead of it was "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the
Crystal Skull" with $22.8 million, down one place. The total
for the Paramount-distributed adventure rose to $253 million
after three weekends. 

Could The Simpsons' days be numbered?

D�OH: Last week, I wrote a post about The Simpsons� ascension into the record books, signing with Fox for a 20th season that will tie the animated sitcom with Gunsmoke as the longest running show in primetime, and about the show�s voice cast bit of brinksmanship that rewarded them with big paycheques for the same season � some US$400,000 per episode for actors such as Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Hank Azaria and others.

Not long after I typed the last period on that piece, Verne Gay of Newsday�s TV Zone wrote that the triumph could be short-lived. �With the 20th season, The Simpsons has perhaps become prohibitively expensive; it's sort of like that 15,000 pound Escalade collecting a mantle of dust in your garage because it costs $500 to fill up the tank...�

Gay points out that, while the show has gotten more expensive to produce, it has shed more than half of its viewers since its high water mark 1998 season, dipping to an average of just 7.7 million viewers per episode. �What does all this mean?� Gay asks. �That as the audience declines, the show costs are going up.�
 
�In television, that always spells one thing, and I'll spell it out for you now: Cancellation.�

After receiving an ominous �No comment� from a PR exec at Fox, Gay lets us linger on that scenario, pregnant with its vision of a Simpsons-less future � except for the syndicated episodes running four times a day. I somehow wish the show�s writers could keep this image in their minds, as it might inspire them to make a potential finale season worthy of the show�s reputation at its best. Or it will mean another dull but profitable movie. In either case, it�s hard for me to summon up a convincing imitation of hope.

IT�S GOOD TO BE THE KING: Especially when, like Larry King, you can rely on your friends to make you look good by comparison. Wearing a neck brace for an unspecified injury, former Johnny Carson sidekick Ed McMahon appeared on King�s CNN show last week to talk about the imminent foreclosure on his house, to pay for some $4.8 million in unpaid mortgage loans.

�If you spend more money than you make, you know what happens," said the new poster boy for financial imprudence in the age of the subprime crisis. "A couple of divorces thrown in, a few things like that.�

McMahon�s wife told King that they were a victim of poor financial management, and that until she married Ed, she�d never even owned a house.

�I don't think you'll own one again,� said King, twisting the knife. Backstage, he offered to let the couple sleep in his motor home when he wasn�t using it, provided Ed follow him around laughing at his jokes. Who says there�s no love in showbiz?
