Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole, both former massage therapists for theNew York Jets, filed suit against Favre, the New York Jets and Lisa Ripi, a woman who hires massage therapists for the team, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York today.

The New York Jets and the National Football League had no comment on the matter. Requests for comment from Brett Favre's agent and the Minnesota Vikings were not immediately returned.

Two massage therapists say in a lawsuit that complaining about sexually suggestive text messages from Brett Favre cost them their part-time jobs with the New York Jets.

Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole sued the Minnesota Vikings quarterback, the Jets and a Jets massage coordinator Monday in a Manhattan court. The lawsuit comes days after the NFL fined Favre $50,000 for not being candid in an investigation into allegations that he sent lewd text messages and photos to a Jets game hostess.

Favre's agent didn't immediately return a telephone call. The Jets declined to comment.

The lawsuit says Favre send a third, unidentified massage therapist a 2008 text message asking whether she and Scavo "want to get together" and suggesting he had "bad intentions."

Idiot with a Tripod: Does It Deserve an Oscar Nod?

The short film Idiot with a Tripod started out as…anIdiot with a Tripod. According to the Huffington Post, “as the blizzard started to dump snow in Astoria, Queens on December 26, filmmaker Jamie Stuart broke out a camera and tripod and captured the beauty of the storm from his window.”
After Jamie Stuart edited and scored his work, the filmmaker sent the short film, titled Idiot With A Tripod, to film critic Roger Ebert.  The world famous film critic raves about the film on his blog and says it should be an Academy Award contender in the Live-Action Short category! Is this a filmmaker’s dream or what? Jamie Stuart isn’t an idiot—the man is a genius marketer!
Roger Ebert gives the reasons why Idiot With A Tripod deserves to win the Academy Award for best live-action short subject.
This film deserves to win the Academy Award for best live-action short subject. (1) Because of its wonderful quality. (2) Because of its role as homage. It is directly inspired by Dziga Vertov’s 1929 silent classic “Man With a Movie Camera.” (3) Because it represents an almost unbelievable technical proficiency. It was filmed during the New York blizzard of Dec. 26, and Jamie Stuart e-mailed it to me with this time stamp: December 27, 2010 4:18:18 PM CST.
You can tell from the cinematography he knew exactly what he was doing and how to do it. He held the Vertov film in memory. Stuart must already been thinking of how he would do the edit and sound. Any professional will tell you the talent exhibited here is extraordinary.

2011 Predictions: New Years Eve 2011 Celebrity Engagements

New Year’s Eve is tomorrow night, and many celebrities are getting ready to attend huge parties with their significant others. Celebrity engagements were a huge hit over Christmas, so we can’t help but wonder if more celebrity engagements will occur on New Year’s Eve 2011. Many celebs will likely consult their 2011 horoscopes and Chinese horoscopes to see what is in the stars for them relationship-wise. Here are our 2011 predictions for star couples who are most likely to wind up engaged by January 1st!
Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough - Ever since Ryan and Julianne started dating, they have been inseparable. They were seen looking lovey dovey in Paris at Thanksgiving, where they vacationed with Seacrest’s family. Given that Ryan Seacrest is kind of a big deal with his whole Times Square gig and all, there is a good chance that he will get down on one knee and pop the question to Julianne Hough when the ball drops on New Year’s Eve 2011. And if he does propose, my 2011 prediction is that he and Julianne will be married and expecting a baby by New Year’s 2012.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart - Kristen Stewart may be a little young, but she and Robert Pattinson have been hot and heavy for quite some time now. They have even been living together while filming Breaking Dawn, the last installment of the Twilight Saga. Their Breaking Dawn characters, Edward and Bella, get married and have a child in the film…but will they take the next step and get engaged on New Year’s Eve 2011? Never say never.

Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas – Their relationship may have contributed to Demi Lovato landing in rehab, but Ashley and Joe seem solid as a rock and unphased by what people think of them. There have been rumors that they are close to an engagement anyway, so a 2011 prediction of Joe giving Ashley a rock on New Year’s Eve 2011 isn’t exactly far fetched. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pops the question.

What do you think? Do you have any other celebrity engagement 2011 predictions for New Year’s Eve?

Isabelle Caro Photos Really feel very sad when we see the photos and condition of Isabelle Caro photos that were published in 2007 was shocking.

Today, when the world wondered about the life of Isabelle Caro, we have to show great honor. She gave amazing result abnegation up call to all those who wanted to starve themselves or felt they should be at a certain weight in certain occupations. Caro has shown us what happens when we go too far with a weight on. For that we are eternally grateful. On the death of the young age of 28, Isabelle Caro has waived her greatest possession trying to get the perfect body image. She gave up her life.

Sarah Bernhardt - Queen Elizabeth (1912)


This is a brief clip from the silent Sarah Bernhardt film “Queen Elizabeth” (1912). In this sequence, Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex is executed. Queen Elizabeth (Bernhardt) visits his corpse, and mourns for him. There's a subplot involving a missing ring, which (in the context of the story) demonstrates Essex's fidelity to Elizabeth. “Queen Elizabeth” was by far Bernhardt's most successful film. Audio recordings of Sarah's voice can be found at the Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project website: cylinders.library.ucsb.edu
