Apple Music Event Coming in September? |
MediaMemo is reporting that music industry execs have been told that Apple is planning to hold a music-themed event next month, although details of what would be revealed were not given. Such news shouldn’t be all that surprising: Apple has typically over the past few years held some type of music-themed event in the m... |
One company that’s probably not all that happy that Apple is swooping in during the month of September is Microsoft, who is rumored to be launching its Zune HD player September 15. Depending on the timing, any announcement or product release could overshadow Microsoft’s latest attempt at the mobile music space. |
Some educated guesses on what could be released at the event are new Nano and Touch models with integrated cameras — long rumored to be added to either product line after photos of cases with holes for camera lenses popped up earlier this year. |
MediaMemo is also guessing that since the music industry was alerted, Apple could release its “Cocktail” album format. This new format would expand the traditional digital album to include special features and interactive content. |
what about The Beatles on iTunes? Whatever happened to this well-worn rumor? Maybe now that the Beatles on Rock Band is shipping, we finally get to buy the music over again, legally. |
Precisely. Every geek and every company out there knows September is iPod month. No one should be surprised at all. I actually think Microsoft announced the ZuneHD details now before Apple takes over the press next month. |
It was a rumor, it was confirmed, now the man himself has made it official. Matt Damon has finally confirmed that yes, he’s returning to play Jason Bourne in a 2016 film directed by Paul Greengrass. Read the official Matt Damon Jason Bourne quote below. |
Yes, next year [we’ll shoot it]. It’ll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out. Paul Greengrass is going to do another one and that’s all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes. |
If you head to that link, you can watch a video of the exchange too. |
Basically though, this is exactly what we’ve known for years. Damon has long said he’d return to the franchise if Paul Greengrass came back to direct. Latino Review then heard he and Greengrass were coming back, though producers denied it. Deadline followed with a confirmation in September, saying the 2016 slot initial... |
Damon will next shoot The Martian for director Ridley Scott. If Bourne is set to shoot in the Fall, he’d likely be able to fit another movie in the middle such as the recently announced Alexander Payne film, Downsizing. |
The Bourne franchise has grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, with each installment crossing the $100 million mark at the domestic box office. A return to the roll for Damon is a sure fire hit for Universal. |
With the change to Eastern Standard Time on Sunday, landscape irrigation will be limited to one day a week throughout the 18 counties of the St. Johns River Water Management District, including St. Johns County. |
* Saturday at addresses that end in an odd number or have no address. |

When I was 15, I wanted to be a supermodel. At 5-foot-11, I only had two options: I could join the volleyball or basketball teams at Spanish River High School or try to be a model. My inspiration was supermodel Niki Taylor, who grew up in Pembroke Pines. She gave me hope that my modeling dreams could come true. While T... |
I first met Taylor in 2006 at Mansion, where she appeared with Nicky Hilton for CosmoGIRL’s So You Want To Be a Model contest. At the time, I was in an unhealthy relationship, had packed on 50 pounds and was deeply embarrassed to meet my modeling hero. After I told Taylor how I had always looked up to her, she gave me ... |
Taylor has since given birth to a daughter, 2-year-old Ciel, and ispregnant with her fourth child. On June 16, I caught up with the supermom at the Opustone Natural Stone Distributors in Miami’s Design District. Taylor is the new spokeswoman for the natural granite brand. When I began my interview, Taylor paid me the b... |
Taylor, who was glowing in an Yves Saint Laurent jacket, Vince jeans and Tory Burch platform heels, then sat on a couch with me to talk about her personal style, what it’s like being a mom, and a skill women everywhere should know — how to avoid a double chin in a photo. An excerpt of our interview follows. |
How would you define your style? |
I really love to mix and match my clothes. People often ask me who my favorite designer is, and I really like every designer. My style is eclectic and mix-and-match, and I wear whatever feels good. I’m not one to stick with just one. And I live in Nashville now, so I wear a lot of jeans and T-shirts and flip-flops. |
What’s the one beauty product you can’t live without? |
Dazzle Glass by MAC. It’s sticky and stays on. |
What advice do you have for other moms? |
Have fun, laugh a lot. I’ve always had patience. That’s something that was given to me a long time ago. I have an incredible husband. We’re total opposites, believe it or not, but it’s good because we balance each other out and it keeps me in line, which I need. I’m the spontaneous one. I’m like, ‘Whatever, let’s eat a... |
What are you favorite stores? |
In Miami, I still love Bal Harbour even though I’m on a budget now. I shop online at Urban Outfitters and I also really like H&M, because you can’t beat the styles and the prices. Instead of spending a lot on clothes now, I’d rather spend money on a massage and a facial. |
Where do you get your handbags? |
My bags are always under $100 at Endless.com. I also like Shopbop.com for designer stuff. There’s a tab you can click on that shows you stuff under $100. |
Since you’ve posed for thousands of photos, what advice can you share with ordinary women who want to take a flattering photo? |
I always say make sure you don’t take a picture in midlaugh. I do it all the time and it creates a double chin. Put your chin down and then smile. That should work every time. |
Taylor will host a shopping event 6-8 p.m. Thursday, July 21 to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward. The event will include wine and food from East City Grill, a silent auction and, of course, retail therapy since it will take place at the Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills. Admission is $50 in advance or $65 ... |
Tying one on with Lil Jon is about to take on a whole new meaning. During DJ Irie’s Irie Weekend pool party at Arkadia, the rapper told me he has put down his pimp cup and is now collecting bow ties. |
On the show, Lil Jon also designed a hat featuring a painted X with a line underneath it.“I thought, ‘Wow, this really stands out.’ So I made that my logo,’ " he says. “I patented all of that stuff, and that’s my new thing.” I’ll raise my pimp cup to that. |

Even though Mount St. Joseph Academy and Springside Chestnut Hill are located just a few minutes from one another, last Tuesday’s basketball scrimmage between the schools was a rare occurrence. |
There are several reasons for this. The Mount and its Athletic Association of Catholic Academies peers belong to the Pa. Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) which also encompasses public high schools of all sizes across the state. SCH and fellow members of the Girls Inter-Ac League do not belong to the PIAA and... |
There’s also a great difference in the enrollments of the two schools. Mount St. Joe’s basketball program competes against the largest public school teams in Class AAAA of the PIAA, and going by those same guidelines, Springside Chestnut Hill would belong in the single-A division. |
The Inter-Ac schools recruit student athletes more actively than the AACA members, but in turn, the Catholic Academies also have a leg up on their public school counterparts, since they are not limited to accepting students from a single school district. |
Despite the different organizational affiliations, many of the individuals on the two teams know one another, and at the scrimmage last Tuesday there was plenty of social interaction outside of the court boundaries. Many of the girls from the two schools played together either on grade school or club teams, and a numbe... |
Both schools had strong squads last winter, but on the basis of graduation losses and the talent returning for this season, last week’s workout at the Mount had the potential to turn into a lopsided affair favoring the hosts. |
However, the visiting Lions acquitted themselves well, on the whole. After each of the four 10-minute periods involving the varsity units the scoreboard was reset to zero, but overall the Magic put up 49 points to the visitors’ 37. The Lions (1-1) had already played two actual games the previous weekend, while the Magi... |
The SCH program got hammered back on Graduation Day 2012, losing four starters. Three of the former Lions are playing hoops in college, 5’11” guard Sydni Epps (Hofstra), 6’1” power forward Michelle Boggs (East Stroudsburg), and 5’11” forward Elana Roadcloud (Ursinus). The fourth player who has moved on, guard Alexis Gi... |
Due partly to the returning athletes at the Mount, the Magic’s losses from last year were not as damaging, although they weren’t insignificant. Gritty point guard Bridget Higgins has tried out as a walk-on at the University of Pittsburgh and made herself stick, while forward Cailin Schmeer and guard Maddie Kohler are p... |
Current senior Kelsey Jones, a point guard who has signed with Philadelphia University, is almost ready to return to action coming off of a knee injury late last season, but she did not play last Tuesday. The other two seniors on the roster, guard Adrienne Cellucci and forward Meg Geatens, have not yet made their colle... |
Louin is a 5’11” guard who is being heavily recruited at a high level (even at last week’s informal gathering, one Philly-area Division I coach turned up). She started last year alongside the three seniors, and the remaining forward spot was initially filled by Monzo and later by Geatens after Monzo went out with an in... |
Hagedorn saw a fair amount of action as a reserve last year, and the fourth 11th grader on this year’s roster is forward Colleen Steinmetz. There are three sophomores, guards Mary Kate Ulasewicz and Katie Maransky, and forward Emily Carpenter, and in an unusual move, 7th-year MSJ coach John Miller has included three fr... |
Caitlyn Cunningham and Libby Tacka are both tall guards, and Sarah Wills is a forward. Tacka’s older sister, Natalie, is a 2011 Mount grad who is playing field hockey for Lehigh University. There is also a familial hockey connection for Wills, whose cousins, Liz and Anna, were standouts in that sport at Penn Charter. |
Last winter, the MSJ hoop squad was runner-up in the AACA and placed fifth in the PIAA’s District 1. After reaching the second round of the state tournament, the Magic wound up with an overall record of 25-6. |
The two seniors on the Springside Chestnut Hill Academy roster, both guards, are still in the process of making their decisions regarding college. Gianna Pownall is the only returning starter for the Lions this season, and the other 12th-grader is Norwood Fontbonne Academy graduate Maddi Hinchey. |
Another NFA alum, Madi Sehn, is one of three juniors, along with fellow forward Katie Shields and point guard Julia Schumacher. Sophomores Olivia Byron (forward) and Caroline Henry (guard) saw playing time with both the varsity and junior varsity squads last winter. |
The largest class is the ninth-grade group, which is a good sign for the future but makes the Lions a very young team this year. The five freshman round out a total of 12 players making up the entire upper school hoops program at SCH, both varsity and JV. Day-to-day personnel decisions with these limited numbers will r... |
Gianna Pownall’s younger sister, Marissa, came up through the Lions’ middle school system, as did fellow ninth-grade guards Singley Risico and Drew Kevitch. Forwards Lindsay Hiner and Essence Walden are new students at SCH. |
Last season, Gianna Pownall missed most of the first round of Inter-Ac games due to injury and a 2-4 performance during that stretch buried the Lions in the standings. When she returned and the team became more focused overall, SCH took league champion Germantown Academy to overtime before succumbing, and won all of it... |
Motley Crue and Skid Row are gearing up for the 2008 ‘Motley Cruise’ that will see thousands of rock fans and musicians gather on a cruise ship. |
The cruise, which goes from Miami to Mexico between January 24 and 28, will see performances from metal stars Motley Crue, Skid Row, Ratt and Slaughter, as well as meet and greets with the artists and “wet and wild shore excursions”. |
Meanwhile, Illinois man Gerald Schneeman is suing concert promoter Live Nation after he was allegedly assaulted by one of Motley Crue and venue security at a concert in 2006. |
The Motley Crue member, who is not named in the suit, reportedly hit him in the head with a guitar, then jumped from the stage, knocking Schneeman to the ground. Security then allegedly beat him up before throwing him out. |
The lawsuit says he suffered injury, scarring and disfigurement. |

SILVERSTONE, England – Sebastian Vettel took advantage of a bad start and disastrous first lap for Lewis Hamilton to win the British Grand Prix and extend his lead in the championship standings on Sunday. |
Hamilton started in pole position but Vettel streaked ahead and his Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen compounded Hamilton’s misfortune when he bumped into him, sending the British driver off the track and leaving him last. |
Hamilton managed to fight his way back to finish second after a Ferrari-Mercedes duel developed with Valtteri Bottas leading until Vettel hit the front again with five laps to go. |
The German finished 2.264 seconds ahead of Hamilton for his fourth win of the season, denying Hamilton what would have been a fifth straight win in his home race. |
