Yes, Angelina Jolie wore her dress backwards...
Angelina Jolie wore her cornflower blue Max Azria gown backward at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles.
Her stylist Jen Rade tells usmagazine.com Jolie purposefully turned around the dress -- which was from Azria's spring 2009 collection -- to make it "more blouson." (The actress was also able to show off her tattoos more.)

Reali T.O. Show
The Dallas Cowboys’ controversial wide receiver will star in his own show on VH1 this summer, giving fans a look into his life off the field.
VH1 announced Monday that the series takes place in the offseason, and T.O.’s best friends and publicists—Monique Jackson and Kita Williams—will help him re-examine his personal life. The two will work as “matchmakers and therapists” for Owens.
Owens, who caught 69 passes for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns this season, was prominently featured on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” that tracked the Cowboys in training camp last year.

Notorious movie..
I just got back home from watching the new movie Notorious... I loved it, although some of the people that were casted didn't look the part, lol.. I definatly learned something new about Lil Kim.. I always thought she was just a freaky girl, but it turns out Biggie made her that way, lol.. It did make me feel bad for her too.. I wish they would've showed Charlie Baltimore's character in the movie, but she didn't want her character in the movie.. The movie also made me like Diddy a little more.. He was definatly inspiring to me, being that I'm in the entertainment field.. If you haven't seen the movie yet, make sure you go out and support.. Watching the movie made me miss back east too..

Cowboys out of T.O.'s?
Going T.O.-less has become a topic of serious internal debate at Valley Ranch. And an awful lot of Cowboys front-office types have decided parting ways with him is not only a good idea, but also necessary to fixing what is obviously wrong with this team.
In fairness, none of them are named Owner Jones. Not yet at least.
But word is people very close to him, including a certain son, have been in his ear.
The question, as it always is with Jerry, remains: Will he listen?

"I'm shocked, really," said Curry, who missed the Knicks' 101-95 victory at New Orleans on Monday night with right knee soreness. "He approached my friends a while back, trying to get money. I just never, ever thought it would go past what it did, which was just idle threats, money-or-else kind of stuff."

Long Island doctor Richard Batista to estranged wife: Give me my kidney back or $1.5M!
Article from NY Daily News
Richard Batista can live with his broken heart. He just can't bear his cheating wife living with his healthy kidney.
The Long Island doctor wants the one-time love of his life to pay $1.5 million for the organ he bestowed on her eight years ago in a gift meant to save her life and their foundering marriage.
"There's no deeper pain you can ever express than to be betrayed by the person you devoted your life to," Batista told reporters in Garden CityWednesday.
"I saved her life. But the pain is unbearable."
Batista charged his wife, Dawnell, repaid his gesture by first sleeping with her physical therapist - and then denying him access to their three kids in an increasingly bitter divorce.
Adding to his anguish, Batista insists his decision to donate his kidney in 2001 was in part a failed effort to rescue their troubled relationship.
"My first priority was to save her life," the 49-year-old doctor said. "The second bonus was to turn our marriage around."
Dawnell Batista survived. Their marriage lasted just another four years, with the wife filing for divorce in July 2005.
The once-happy pair met two decades ago when he was a resident and she a training nurse at North Shore Hospital.
They were married in August 1990, celebrating with a lavish Long Island reception, and were soon living in a $1 million Massapequa home.
The couple shared the joy of three daughters, but Dawnell was battling kidney failure and the couple's relationship turned shaky.
Her husband - a surgeon at Nassau University Medical Center - injected her three times a week with medication as part of her health care regime.
Dawnell's health continued to deteriorate. After two transplants failed, her husband volunteered to donate one of his kidneys - and discovered he was a match, a 1-in-700,000 shot.
"I was the first and only one to step to the plate," the doctor recalled. Without his donation, Dawnell faced a long wait: There are 6,748 people awaiting kidneys inNew York State, the New York Organ Donor Network says.
Successful surgery followed at a Minnesota hospital on June 28, 2001. Batista said he was looking forward to happier times with his now-healthy bride - but his hopes proved futile.
"Nothing changed," he said.
Dawnell Batista viewed the kidney as a new lease on life, too. She returned to school to earn a master's degree in nursing, and took up karate, her husband said.
After an injury suffered while trying to earn her black belt, she began physical therapy - which evolved into an affair with her therapist, Batista said.
"It put a hole in my heart that still exists," Batista said of his wife's disloyalty. "To this day, I'm a man of pride. To be betrayed that way, humiliated - I can't even began to say."
Dawnell Batista was not at her home Wednesday. Her lawyer did not return a call for comment.
Batista said the ongoing ugliness began on day one of their divorce.
"She slapped me with divorce papers when I was in surgery trying to save another person's life," he fumed.
The case was apparently the first of its kind in New York State. Julia Rivera of the New York Organ Donor Network said she never heard of anything similar.
"This is extraordinary," the spokeswoman said.
Batista insisted his cash-for-kidney claim was a direct result of his wife's behavior. He said he hasn't seen his three daughters - ages 14, 11 and 8 - in months.
"This is my last resort," Batista said. "I didn't want to be in the public eye."
Despite the animosity, Batista insisted he would donate the kidney all over again to his hopefully soon-to-be-ex. He fondly recalls a visit to her room on the day after surgery.
"There was no greater feeling on this planet," he said. "As God is my witness, I felt as if I could put my arm around Jesus Christ. I was walking on a cloud."

Voletta Wallace would like to speak to Lil Kim
Biggies mom, Voletta Wallace, was asked if there was anything she learned about her son while watching the new "Notorious" film slated to be released on January 16 and she responded by saying on essence.com:
I gained strength from it. There were things about him that I never knew that I wanted to see for myself on film. I saw a side of my son that I heard of but I haven’t accepted. I’m angered by certain things, disappointed and shocked. So this film taught me tolerance and to be less critical. I would love to speak to Lil’ Kim, because I need to ask more about this love relationship because I really didn’t like the way he treated her and I’m praying that that’s not it. Only she can answer those questions. She’s a sweet girl and I didn’t think she deserved to be treated the way he treated her, if that’s the case.
Bart Cops caught on tape for Oscar Grant's shooting..
This is really disturbing that a cop would shoot someone that is laying on the ground face down for absolutely no reason.. Stuff like this is what makes me scared of cops and their suppose to be our friends.. If you haven't heard, this 22yr old man named Oscar Grant whom is African American and a father was shot on New Year's morning for no reason.. He was shot at the Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland , Ca.. Apparently all the cameras were down at the station when this went down, but thank God for cellphones with video cameras..
