Karin DVD 1

On the surface Karin Maaka seems like a perfectly normal high school girl suffering from perfectly normal problems like anemia and being boy-shy. In truth, though, she is an abnormality among abnormalities. The middle child in a family of vampires, she lacks many of the normal vampire characteristics, such as vulnerability to sunlight, night vision, and the ability to erase memories. She does have vampire fangs and gets drawn to her own unique blood affinity like all other vampires, but instead of draining blood from her victims she actually injects them with excess blood she generates, which has a revitalizing effect on the victim. If she doesn't do it on at least a monthly basis she suffers from explosive nose bleeds as her blood increases beyond her body's capacity to handle it.

Sitti can do without 'Wowowee'

Sitti, the “First Lady of Philippine Bossa Nova,” as director Calvin Neria put it, has retired from her hosting duties in Wowowee. This in lieu of her upcoming birthday concert at the Captain’s Bar, Mandarin Oriental, Manila, on Nov. 29. She said Wowowee was too strenuous for her, especially to her voice. The first day she was just talking, but two days after that, she was already shouting as loudly as Valerie Concepcion. She says she prefers hosting to acting. Hosting takes five hours at the most, but taping requires her to be on the set for a whopping 24 hours. She loves singing the most, since she is usally done after two hours. The three-part concert will trace Sitti’s lounge bar roots, walk through her bossa nova present, and look into her pop jazz future.

Ouran High School Host Club DVD Part 01

The super-exclusive Ouran Academy caters to Japan's rich and powerful, and the first-year honors student Haruhi Fujioka, who won a scholarship to attend, is a mere “commoner� by comparison. One day, she stumbles into the Third Music Room, meets a cohort of handsome, privileged young men who have formed a Host Club. She then stumbles into a vase supposedly valued at eight-million yen. Obviously, she can never hope to pay for it, so the club's vice president makes her an offer: She joins the club herself, and if she manages to attract one-hundred regular customers, her debt will be forgiven. There is only one catch—her classmates have to believe that she is a boy. Can she do it? And how will her fellow club members cope with the secret?

Woman Unable To Recognize Voices, Unless It's Sean Connery

A 60-year-old British woman is suffering from a neurological defect that is sure to put her in the next version of "The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." She is unable to recognize any voice she hears — any voice, that is, but Sean Connery's. Unless she sees the face of the person speaking, she has no idea who is talking to her, even her daughter and co-worker's voices are unrecognizable. Dr. Brad Duchaine at University College London, thinks she might have the first documented case of vocal prosopagnosia, a condition which makes it extremely difficult for people to recognize faces. "His accent is distinctive," Duchaine explained. "And she is a British woman in her sixties ... let's say it's probable he got her attention."

ART etc. / 'I'm my own biggest critic'

At five in the evening, she comes down to the street wearing a white skirt and silk blouse. "I see myself more as a lost child," she declares after taking a seat on a long wooden bench. She wants to get this point out there right off the bat. Then she lights a cigarette and smokes it slowly. "I feel very fortunate with all that's happened to me," she adds in an apologetic tone, "but I don't feel like I'm an actress. I feel more like a lost 19-year-old girl who got caught up in all this. I have no idea what makes me keep going to auditions."

Bitch-Back! They're Just Not That Into Angie

I strongly disagree with you about every woman wanting to look like Angelina Jolie. She is my age, and she looks way older than I do. Jen should stay 100 percent off the Brangelina topic, because no matter what she says, comes out making her look vulnerable, and she is much prettier when she is happy. Thanks for calling out all the hateful people on the message boards. I was most appalled by the racist and hateful comments made when you reported about Kendra Wilkinson's engagement.

Are political bloggers undermining democracy?

Communities Minister Hazel Blears made a speech to the Hansard Society yesterday in which she criticised political bloggers in the UK. "Political blogs are written by people with disdain for the political system and politicians, who see their function as unearthing scandals, conspiracies and perceived hypocrisy," she said. Conservative grandee Lord Baker has described the comments as "extraordinary". He said: "She needs to tune into the modern world. People have a right to say what they think and if she doesn't like it she can blog back". However, Blears maintains that: "Until political blogging adds value to our political culture, by allowing new voices, ideas and legitimate protest and challenge, and until the mainstream media reports politics in a calmer, more responsible manner, it will continue to fuel a culture of cynicism and despa

Blab Blab Blab: Tyra Takedown!

"Why was she contradicting? One minute, she said she couldn't tell I looked sick, and the next minute, she was saying they didn't want to show me any pity. Ugh, I don't even like that show anymore."

Brush artist Lou Zhengang - Follow your own heart

My wife hates me playing video games; so why is it ok&

Dear Bossy: I love my wife very much however she doesn’t allow me any time to myself. The outlet that I enjoy is playing video games. She seems to think two hours a night is overly excessive. However she will spend that time and longer sitting in front of the TV. She doesn’t seem to equate the fact that me spending time playing a video game and her watching TV is the same thing.

How One Phone Call Helped Me Convert to Judaism

Dale is one of those fearless people who start things and get you to join them in their ventures, however risky. She is fully aware of her persuasive abilities, but when she called me up 11 years ago to ask if I wanted to come help her start one of these projects, I don't think she knew that she was going to jumpstart my conversion to Judaism. But that's how it was.

The latest on Dani?s rumoured pregnancy?

As we revealed earlier, even Dani Behr’s husband thinks there could be truth in the rumours that she’s pregnant and might have to quit I’m A Celebrity. However, we’ve just spoken to the official spokesbod for the show, and they say there’s no truth in it after all and that Dani’s comments about morning sickness were meant in jest. “It’s completely untrue,� they said. “We’ve spoken to her, she’s not pregnant and she’s not taken a test.� Damn, and there we were hoping she’d name the baby after something suitably Australian – like, say, Koala Behr. We're quite proud of that one!

Grace Hartigan: American painter

Grace Hartigan was a gestural painter whose work bridged two postwar art movements of Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. In 1958 Life magazine called her “the most celebrated of the young American women painters�. Much as she appreciated the attention, she did not like the conditional ranking — she wanted to hold her own among men, specifically the rock stars of Abstract Expressionism, and for a time, she succeeded.

If this Jen rumour is true, we?re VERY jealous

Some people seem to think Jennifer Aniston has a disastrous love life – but we totally disagree. After all, how many of us can say we’ve been married to Brad Pitt? And if this latest story coming out of the US is true, she’s having a hell of a good time now too. After splitting from John Mayer, Jen was linked to hot actor Gerard Butler – but now that she seems to be rekindling things with John, it seems Gerard isn’t off the menu either – she managed to find time for drinks with Gerard last week and apparently they got very cosy. In fact, sources say she’s playing the two off against each other! Hmm, that doesn’t sound needy and desperate to us – it sounds fun. As long as nobody ever does it us anyway. So, John or Gerard? It’s a toughie…

Fun Things To Do With a Math Or Science Degree?

bxwatso writes "My niece just took the ACT and got a perfect score on the math section. 25 years ago, when I took the test, the kids who aced the math section were pretty special. Her score, combined with straight A's so far in high school, suggest to me that she might be able to go to a top university (MIT?) based on her math aptitude. The rub is that she doesn't like math or science, even though she finds them easy. She doesn't want to be an engineer or scientist. I thought the folks here would be a great group to ask: What are some creative, not too nerdy professions that nonetheless require a talent for math, engineering, or science?"

Florence Nightengale, Statistical Graphics Pioneer

Science News has a fascinating look at an under-appreciated corner of the career of Florence Nightengale — as an innovator in the use of statistical graphics to argue for social change. Nightengale returned from the Crimean War a heroine in the eyes of the British citizenry, for the soldiers' lives she had saved. But she came to appreciate that the way to save far more lives was to reform attitudes in the military about sanitation. Under the tutelage of William Farr, who had just invented the field of medical statistics, she compiled overwhelming evidence (in the form of an 830-page report) of the need for change. "As impressive as her statistics were, Nightingale worried that Queen Victoria's eyes would glaze over as she scanned the tables.

DO IT TODAY: 'ER,' Episode 7

Finally, tonight, we get someone eons better than Shane West — like Anthony Edwards, a former doc worth seeing again. But … wha? Of course, the big-C killed off ol’ Dr. Greene seasons ago, but thank God for the art of a good flashback! When new chief Angela Bassett pushes to save a little girl from a near-drown, she falls into a daydream about back when she was a sassy ER-attending at USC (with long hair and bangs) and she had to admit her stroke-suffering young son to County General. She was all kinds of do-this, do-that’s to Dr. Greene, but then he sasses back, “LISTEN. I need you to be the mom now, OK. And I’m going to be the doctor. It works best that way.� Then, like a badass, he refuses to go upstairs for his chemo treatment.

I?m A Celebrity stars arrive in Oz?

Now that you’ve learned the names of the weirdos who’ll be subjecting themselves to the Aussie jungle for I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, are you excited? Several of the contestants have now arrived in Australia for the series, which starts this Sunday on ITV1. And, as she posed in Brisbane Airport, glamour model and WAG Nicola McLean admitted that she’s not especially famous. “I don’t think people are going to know who I am to be honest,� she says. “Which, actually, is going to be embarrassing when I walk in the room. I’m sure they’re going to think, ‘Who is she?' But do I really care? No because there have been loads of years when I didn’t know who people were and I read every celebrity magazine going, I buy the tabloids and there’s quite a few people where I haven’t known who they are.
