“Mr. Norsigian has been claiming these negatives were made by Ansel Adams for many years,” Matthew Adams told the
L.A. Daily News in 2009. “I am unaware of anyone knowledgeable agreeing with him.”
From the "I'm a blind fool" department.
Artist Rick Norsigian sat on a box of Ansel Adams glass negatives for 10 years before making the connection that these may be pictures that Ansel Adams took early in his career. Historians thought they were destroyed in a darkroom fire but they turned up at a garage sale in California.
Way to go Rick.
You're a Tack.
Super Sharp.
You're also going to be an estimated 200 million dollars richer so that make me hate you for being stupid and lucky.
I'm with Ansel Adams Grandson who thinks this dude is a scammer - in his words:

Lindsay's lawyers are hot on this issue - asking her to
reveal every details of her experience in a deposition. If she in fact did get
strip searched in the Lynwood Correctional Facility, class action suit that is
getting prepared will allege unlawful strip and body cavity searches, performed
by the L.A. County Sheriff's deputies. This supposedly happened to another
inmate - when Lindsay checked into the jail. But they figure - if it happened
then, it happened to Lindsay as well. That is why they want her to spill all in
the deposition.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs have filed with the Federal
Court yesterday to make sure she files the deposition while she is in the jail
and they also sent a letter to Shawn Chapman Holley - Lohan's lawyer asking
Lindsay would agree to the deposition.
The suit basically claims that female inmates were openly
strip searched in a parking lot and their privacy rights were violated.
Needless to say that something like that is definitely not sanitary. And since
sherrif's officials did say that Lindsay has been treated just like any other
prisoner....
As much as she couldn't believe that she actually had to go
to jail, she is there now for just over a week and doing OK.
Lindsay checked herself into a facility in West Hollywood -
her mom, her sister and Sam Ronson were doing their best to keep her spirits
up. And we all already heard that Robert Shapiro has been hired to help Lindsay
either reduce or eliminate the jail sentence. Shapiro will try to go for
sending Lindsay to rehab immediately - we will see what the judge will say to
that.
Part of Lindsay's sentence is to check into a rehab for 90
days after her jail time so not sure what Shapiro's strategy is in asking to
have her go into rehab right away. But if it would give her double the rehab
time , that would be definitely beneficial and she could get back on her feet
quite nicely.
There was a recent report from the Lynwood Correctional
Facility - and we hear that Lindsay is not getting any special treatment - the report
actually said that some of her closest friends are murderers. That is because
most of the women where Lindsay is housed are in for killing someone. Does that
not seems a little weird to have her there? But - apparently, she is being very
nice, mostly keeping to herself and handling the whole situation calmly.
Either way and whatever comments are coming out - we hope
she gets the help she needs and will make some positive news when she comes out
of rehab!
They are so dissatisfied with their contract situation that
they decided to refuse to shoot scenes for the upcoming third season . On no uncertain
terms, Ronnie, Sammi, Pauly D, Vinny and JWoww said they were not doing
anything until their contracts are fixed. And The Situation and Snooki joined
the rest of the cast shortly after - they are all saying they can just do
appearances for couple of months and make more money that way.
The producers form 495 Productions are not being
co-operative and are ready to close the door on the whole show. They claim the
cast is now hurting the show and this is the last straw.
The current contract gives each cast member $10,000 per
episode and that was agreed on for season 2. So the cast feels they are being
cheated since that was Miami and now it is the Shore.
We have noted that The Situation is being tempted by a very
sweet new contract and that made the rest of the cast and the crew even
angrier.
The bottom line? We will have to wait and see, but rumour
has it that MTV feels they have the right group right now and wants to keep the
cast the way it is.
Interesting developments are surely still to come!
It sure looks like all hell broke
loose over Mel Gibson and his somewhat unreal activities. They include domestic violence, child endangerment
and assault with a deadly weapon - so it is a pretty sure thing that the case
will be on its way to the prosecutor's office - and fast.
Oksana Grigorieva has told the
investigators that Mel physically abused her and was making threats many times.
There were a number of violent incidents in January and February and apparently
Mel knocked out one of her teeth. She says she feared not only for her safety
but also for the safety of her child, because Mel's behaviour was so violent
and abusive. And she does report that she told her dentist in January that Mel
knocked out her tooth and chipped another one. The interesting thing is that
the dentist never reported the incident
- and under California Law, a health practitioner must report to the
police if he or she "reasonably suspects assaultive or abusive conduct". So
this dentist could be an interesting witness if Mel is prosecuted for domestic violence.
Mel of course denied hitting Oksana
in the face and knocking out her tooth and his lawyers have filed legal papers
in the custody war, asking the judge to hold Oksana in contempt.
Why the contempt charges? Oksana
is allegedly responsible for leaking secretly-recorded tapes of Mel's furious
statements and there was a restraining order against Oksana late last month
that prohibited her from releasing the tapes. The common belief is that she
sold the tapes for pretty big bucks.
Of course Oksana denies that,
stating that she never meant for those tapes to get to public and has
absolutely no idea who is responsible for the leak. Oh - and that she feels
terrible about it. The tape she secretly recorded actually has Mel saying :"You
f***ing deserved it" when it comes to the teeth incident.
Still - Mel and his lawyers are
not buying the story that she didn't leak out the tapes and there is a lot of
documentation that proves Oksana trying to get money from Mel in exchange of
keeping the tapes secret.
So now Mel's lawyers are planning
to meet with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department to present evidence - and that
would include evidence of alleged extortion.
Stay tuned - this story is only
just beginning.....
Some
say this has been the most extraordinary post season in the NBA history and
that the foundation of the league has been forever shaken.
Inside
information has been right and wrong and right and wrong. But finally, it was
announced that LeBron James will be joining Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in
Miami, making the iami Heat a superpower.
And
what is it costing the Miami Heat? Well - salary caps have yet to be worked
outm the team has to first "officially" sign the players. And The Toronto
Raptors are still very actively trying to turn Bosh around and have him head
back to Toronto. Blue Jays president Bryan Colangelo had no comments but did
say earlier that there are a lot of things under consideration and it isn't
over yet. It may be now - since LeBron's announcement it is pretty clear that
Bosh will want to join the winning team.
LeBraun
will get a five year contract with Miami - Cleveland was offering six year
deal, but he did comment that money is not the driving force behind his move.
His point is that it is pretty certain that all three stars will take less
money because they want to play on the same team.
This
has all been really well publicized and celebrated free-agent frenzy - like no
other in the NBA history. And all of it played with the emotions of fans of six
teams. But no group will feel it more than fans in Cleveland, Less than half an
hour after Lebraun's announcement, fans were burning No. 23 Cleveland jersey in anger. Sure they are
angry - they are letting him know that he let them down - being a hometown boy.
He was born and raised in Ohio and they are not recognizing that he lifted the
Cavs to unprecedented heights - only that he is now letting them down.
Miami
wasn't the only team that wanted James - The Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks,
New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Clippers were all courting him and trying their
best to persuade him to join them. In the end it was not really The Miami Heat -
it was more about creating a superpower that will lead the team to the coveted
NBA crown. That is the focus - and can you blame him?
LeBron
arrived in Miami at 2:30 pm this morning, getting off a private jet to a crowd
of fans who patiently waited for him to cheer him on and welcome him. Without a
doubt - it was a good idea to get out of Cleveland - and fast!
Well
- good luck to all of them - it will for sure be an interesting season!
There's really nothing to say here expect that Adrienne Curry has a fantastic body, really doesn't do much of anything, has an idiot for a husband and she doesn't mind posing naked on her Twitter profile.
Proceed. Happy Friday. Here's more Adrianne Curry pics as well (free bonus Friday!).
Elin Nordegren is about make 750 million dollars. Yeah that's right $750,000,000 - not that she's done anything to deserve it besides bang Tiger Woods. Who is the biggest cry baby whiner on the face of the planet, to prove my point watch every time he misses a putt.
The final divorce is imminent, a source close to the situation toldRadar Online.
“They’ve agreed on all the major points. It’s all been worked out privately. Both Tiger and Elin are very close to finishing the negotiations and filing and signing the paperwork.” Elin is expected to receive approximately $750 million in the settlement.
Although this might be good news for me since European chicks will do anything, Elin is incredibly hot and she's going to be worth $750 Million cash.
Do you remember where you were and what you
were doing when you heard that the King of Pop was dead? It is another event
that went down in American history - like people remembering exactly where they
were and what they were doing when John Lennon and President Kennedy were shot.
These are the events that define American culture.
Michael Jackson's death certainly added to
the list. No matter what people were doing or where they were - it was just
like time had stopped and activities were replaced by news reports and by
thousands and thousands of playing his songs.
On June 25,2009, Michael's doctor Conrad
Murray found him in his home not breathing and only with a faint pulse. He
administered CPR but without a positive result. Michael Jackson was pronounced
dead at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical centre.
The reaction of millions was overwhelming -
outpouring of support from all over the world also resulted and sales of his
music to skyrocket. And his memorial service was watched on TV and over the
internet by over 1 billion people.
So much has already been said about Michael's contribution to the music
world and to making the history, there it is difficult to add anything. No
doubt - he will never be forgotten. You can pay Tribute to the King of Pop by
participating in a poll that already has over 600,000 people who did. And as
the headline says: "No one will ever fill his shoes"
I've decided to revive the good old nip slip file since it seems to have been pretty popular with all of you out there. So here we go, I know it's not the greatest nip slip ever recorded but it is one of the most recent.
Uh, behold Emma Watson's Nip Slip. Kinda anti-climactic eh?
What better way to celebrate a last minute 1-0 victory over Algeria, and top spot
in Group C, than by smashing a few Budweisers in the dressing room with
your country's most loved president? Wonder why they're not cracking a nice cold Stella? Yeah yeah we already went over that one a few days ago with the hotties in the orange miniskirts.
Enjoy the Buds Boys!
Now I'm not going to comment on just how potential homosexual this picture looks but Clinton looks pretty happy. Umm way to go boys!
