Outlook is bright as U.S. weather girl accepts boyfriend's surprise proposal live on air

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV4W-kVxWnwendofvid
[starttext]
By Cher Thornhill

What are you doing here? A forecast on the U.S. Weather Channel is interrupted when presenter Kim Perez's boyfriend steps on to the set


She may have forecast stormy weather but the outlook certainly appears bright for weather girl Kim Perez.

The unsuspecting presenter was describing rainfall in South Florida on the US Weather Channel when her boyfriend walked in front of the camera and proposed.

Policeman Marty Cunningham had clearly prepared for the moment which was accompanied by a soundtrack of tear-jerkers.


Instant atmosphere: A heart appears on the weather map as policeman Marty Cunningham gets on one knee to a Hollywood-style soundtrack


Tear-jerker: Kim holds back tears as Marty asks her to marry him on-air


Happy ending: The couple kiss before a voiceover introduces the football forecast


'You got me': Kim's marriage proposal has become an internet favourite

As he got down on one knee, the words ‘Will you marry me?’ appeared in a heart in place of the America weather map.

The beaming police sergeant said: ‘We've been talking about this for a long time.
‘And I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

'So I'm asking you today, will you please marry me?’
Miss Perez immediately threw her arms around her boyfriend and said: 'I will,' before adding ‘You got me’ and ‘You make me so happy.’

The unconventional proposal has been viewed by hundreds and become an internet favourite.

Miss Perez worked as a weather forecaster in the Air Force before joining the Weather Channel.

Video: Lil Wayne Throwing Bittersweet Farewell Concert

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhyutoV8ZsEendofvid
[starttext]
During the Monday concert, Lil Wayne got support from his Young Money crew, Mack Maine, Jae Millz and Gudda Gudda.

Before being sentenced to prison on February 9 [2010], Lil Wayne kicked off a farewell concert in his hometown Monday, December 28. "I'm nothing without you," the rap mogul shouted to the crowd.

Weezey opened the gig with her hit single "A Milli" which earned him a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance at 2008 Grammy Awards. He then rolled out several other smash hits from his previous releases.

In one of the live sets, Weezy brought in his crew from Young Money, singing "Every Girl". Those who joined him included Mack Maine, Jae Millz and Gudda Gudda. Weezy covered up the verses performed by Drake which didn't take part at the concert.

Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in October to a weapons possession charge. The charge was stemmed from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus in New York when authorities said they smelled marijuana, and as they approached, he tossed aside a bag with a loaded .40-caliber handgun.

Park Myung Soo’s “Udon” with Ga-in?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAO4PHFed1Aendofvid
[starttext]
Gagman Park Myung Soo has cleared up the rumors surrounding his next potential track "Udon."

Park Myung Soo's manager Han Kyung Ho stated:

"It's true that we asked E-Tribe (who created the Infinity Challenge-duet song "Naengmyun") for a song. However, "Udon" is from another producer who had asked if we were interested in doing a new single with Brown Eyed Girls member Ga-in. But we declined."

Apparently, prior to receiving this offer, Park Myung Soo had already vested himself to produce the album on his own, hence he had declined the offer.

That's unfortunate, a single with Ga-in would've been pretty awesome. Oh well, at least there's still Naengmyun.

Tensi Love’s new song is all about eating cake?!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ErE_ZX5gF0endofvid
[starttext]
Tensi Love is a little known male-female duo consisting of Hwang Ye-jun (male composer) and Koh Ji-hoo (female vocalist) with a musical style that is similar to Clazziquai.

They recently released a music video for their new song Cake House, and it is cute to say the least! Only the female vocalist appeared in the music video, but it's easy to understand why because she's rather cute.

Although the music video does seem a little low budget, I still loved it. I mean it's hard to complain when you have a really cute girl singing a whole song about eating cake. The song might seem simple at first, but it really grows on you the more you listen to it.

All this talk about eating cake reminds me of how I used to nag my mom every year to get me a cake on my birthday. After 7 years of nagging she finally gave in. When I turned 13, I arrived home from school to find my mom waiting for me at the door as usual. However, this time she didn't have a broomstick in her hands, but instead she welcomed me inside with a bright smile. It only became weirder when she told me I could skip my chores for that day, and that I should just head straight into the kitchen. She was being awfully nice to me, and so naturally I became a little suspicious.

However, all the suspicions went straight out the window when I entered the kitchen to find a cake on the table. I was so happy that I was ready to declare it the best birthday ever right then and there. But there was just one thing keeping it from being the perfect birthday, there were no candles. When I asked her why, she told me it was because candles were evil and that every time a candle is lit, a baby penguin dies. I love penguins to death and so I gladly accepted the wooden twigs my mom gave me in lieu of the candles.

My mom told me she personally made the cake herself, and it looked she was telling the truth for once because the cake looked very poorly made. It was supposed to be a mud pie, but it looked more like a mud pile instead. However, like they said, it's the thought that counts.

I felt like I was exploding from excitement, my first ever birthday cake and it was chocolate too! My favorite! I offered her a slice, but she vehemently refused it. That was really odd since she loves chocolate, but I guess she must have wanted me to have the whole cake to myself. My mom has never been this nice to me before. It must be because it was my birthday.

All of my excitement from before immediately disappeared when I took my first bite of the cake. It tasted terrible, just terrible. It felt gritty, bitter, and overall just dirty. I thought it was just because this was my mom's first attempt at making something like this, but then I looked down and an earthworm was crawling out from inside the pie. Then it dawned on me, I guess she meant it when she said it was a mud pie. The whole thing turned out to be just a pile of mud with some wooden twigs on top. I thought my mom had made a mistake, and so I was going to let her know that it was real mud she was using in the cake. However, I had a funny feeling she already knew that because she was already on the flooring laughing like a wild animal. Needless to say, I never bothered her for a birthday cake ever again.

Second Trailer of 'Inception' Reveals Objective

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Z3PlZTSdIendofvid
[starttext]
Released via Apple, the trailer sheds a bit about Leonardo DiCaprio's mission in the sci-fi thriller which synopsis is kept hidden.

The released synopsis for Christopher Nolan's "Inception" does little to explain what the movie is all about and the newly-released trailer of the movie does not help much either. However, it basically revolves around stealing an idea because it is the "most resilient parasite" and that "your mind is the scene of the crime".

A contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind, the film is centering on Leonardo DiCaprio as some CEO type of guy who wants to steal ideas from other people's mind. From the look of the trailer, the power of idea is able to fold the city and rewrite all the rules.

Supported also by Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Cillian Murphy, the movie is looking at July 16, 2010 U.S. release in theaters.

FIRST LADY: This is our first Christmas in the White House, and we are so grateful for this extraordinary experience. Not far from here, in the Blue Room, is the official White House Christmas Tree. Its an 18-foot tall Douglas-fir from West Virginia and its decorated with hundreds of ornaments designed by people and children from all over the country. Each one is a reminder of the traditions we cherish as Americans and the blessings were thankful for this holiday season.

PRESIDENT: Thats right, especially as we continue to recover from an extraordinary recession that still has so many Americans hurting: parents without a job who struggled to put presents under the Christmas tree; families and neighbors whove seen their home foreclosed; folks wondering what the new year will bring.

HBO Teases New 'True Blood', 'The Pacific' and More

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUmuW2oyV8Qendofvid
[starttext]
The cable network gives a preview of what's in stores in 2010, including also its line-up of original series such as 'Broadwalk Empire' that comes from award-winning Martin Scorsese.

HBO has just released its annual yearender that teases also what's coming in 2010. "2009 was a big year for HBO, but 2010 will be just as big," the cable said in the promo. Among the returning shows that get the first look is "True Blood" and among the new shows is miniseries "The Pacific".

Unfortunately, the promo that utilizes the song "This Could Be the Year" by Ryan Star, only displays a few second of Bill-Sookie moment as well as a brief glimpse of Sam and Jessica with her fangs out. It is doubtful that any of the scene is new since production has just been kicked off this month and it's unlikely that the footage come out of it. The contrary happens to "Pacific" that gets a new footage of wedding and war scenes.

"True Blood", entering its third year, will be premiered in June while "The Pacific" that has ten episodes will be premiered on March 14. Other shows which are expected to come back during the summer are "Eastbound & Down", "Entourage", "Bored to Death" and "Hung". Meanwhile, the TV films that follow the success of "Grey Gardens" are "Temple Grandin", "The Special Relationship" and "You Don't Know Jack".

New series that will be introduced next year are drama "Treme", comedy "How to Make It in America", and another drama "Broadwalk Empire".

HBO is the network that gets the biggest number of nominations at 2010 Golden Globe Awards. Pocketing 17 nods in total, HBO has the chance to win through Anna Paquin, "Taking Chance" and Bill Paxton among others.

Commotion: Pope Benedict XVI is helped to his seat moments after a woman jumped barriers and knocked the pontiff down

The Pope has been knocked to the ground tonight during Midnight Mass at St Peter's Basilica by the same woman who jumped the barriers last year, according to reports.

Pope Benedict XVI was walking down the aisle to begin the traditional Christmas Eve service when the woman made her move.

The pontiff's security guards rushed forward to help him back to his feet.

The Rev Ciro Benedettini said the Pope quickly got up off the marble floor, aided by the Master of Ceremonies, and was unhurt.

Slow motion television footage showed a plastic chair flying into the air as bodyguards rushed to the scene.

Pope Benedict, 82, calmly resumed his walk to the basilica's main altar and began the Mass to applause from worshippers.

Rev Benedettini said the woman who pushed the Pope appeared to be mentally unstable and had been arrested by Vatican police.

He said she also knocked down Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, 87, who was taken to hospital after suffering a broken leg as a result of the attack.

Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the woman was the same person who tried to jump a barricade to get close to the Pope at last year's Christmas Mass - but was quickly blocked on the ground by security (scroll down to see video of last year's attempted attack).

In the preview for December 27 episode, Khloe Kardashian is excited that she misses her period and is possibly pregnant with Lamar Odom's baby.

Whether or not Khloe Kardashian is pregnant is still a question but the latest promo of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" provides the biggest clue of all. For the December 27 episode, the reality show teases that the youngest of the Kardashian sisters misses her period and is most likely with a child.

In the promo, Khloe tells her sister Kim Kardashian that she cannot tell anybody about the newly-discovered news. However, Kim spills the beans when her mother Kris Jenner pushes her to reveal what's going on. "Promise you won't say anything," Kim warns her mom before adding, "Khloe is pregnant."

The rumor that Khloe is pregnant with her husband Lamar Odom's baby has actually made headlines for several days since she was spotted with a baby bump while wearing a tight purple dress. Media Take Out also reported that she would announce the pregnancy "very soon". However, Gossip Cop reached out to Khloe's representative who busted the rumor and claimed it "not true".

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom who got married after only a month of dating, did not make it a secret that they wanted to start a family together. When asked by talk show host Chelsea Handler last month whether they would love to have kids, Lamar said, "I do".

'Lost' Death: It's Either Sayid or Jack

The last time they were seen, Sayid was shot in the abdomen and Jack was near the site where the bomb supposed to blow up.

The biggest scoop about the last season of "Lost" has just been revealed by E! Online. Although still cryptic and in between two possibilities, the spoiler is detrimental to Sayid in either way. Sayid allegedly will meet a devastating end as early as the first episode of season 6. E!, which has screened the two-hour premiere episode called "LA X", lists two options, it's either "Sayid dies" or "Sayid kills Jack" and one of them is true.

The last time the character played by Naveen Andrews was seen is in episode "The Incident". He was shot in the abdomen by Roger Linus and losing consciousness while the 1977 incident happened. Should "Sayid dies" is the right one, then it's most likely that he would die out of the wound in "LA X".

However, since "Lost" is complex in its time-traveling plot, then there is also a huge possibility that he would be resurrected in the Temple by the Others. After all, it was reported that Andrews has shot several episodes other than "LA X".

For those who would like to catch up to the first five seasons of the sci-fi series, Direct TV is offering a month of "Lost" features. Recaps from the first to fifth season are compiled in a special that will air every Saturdays starting December 26 at 9/8c on The 101 Network. Beside recaps, it will also feature never before seen elements such as DVD extras, behind the scene footage, deleted scenes and music videos.

The final and sixth season of "Lost" premieres on February 2 at 9/8c. ABC recently released a new promo which still lacks of new footage.

Haunting: Brittany Murphy pictured in Los Angeles on the set of her last film Abandoned this summer

This haunting picture is Brittany Murphy on the set of what will be her final movie.

The actress, who died of a heart attack on Sunday, is seen in Los Angeles shooting the psychological thriller Abandoned, which she only finished filming in the late summer.

In the movie Murphy, 32, stars as Mary Walsh, a woman who believes her husband has vanished and is fighting not only to find him but to counter threats to her own life and sanity.

Director Michael Feifer told U.S website People: 'Brittany was a pro. When she needed to turn it on, she just threw a switch and she was on.

'She was that good at her craft. So playing frantic came really easy and playing sweet came really easy.'

The flick, also starring Dean Cain, Mimi Rogers and Peter Bogdanovich, is now expected to be released early next year.

The tragic actress plays Mary Walsh in the psychological thriller, a woman who believes her husband has vanished, seen here with co-star Peter Bogdanovich

Responding to reports the actress was difficult to work with, Feifer added: 'It hurts me to hear all this salacious stuff because my experience with Brittany was really one of my best experiences with an actress.'

Abandoned is believed to be the last film Murphy completed. She later did work on a horror film called The Caller in Puerto Rico.

However she was reportedly fired for being difficult in November - although her agent insists Murphy and the production mutually parted ways over 'creative differences'.

Murphy, who was best known for her roles in 8 Mile with rapper Eminem, Just Married and Girl, Interrupted, died on Sunday morning after going into cardiac arrest.
