Big Brother 13

Big Brother 13, Big Brother 13 is about to receive a dose of double trouble with the return of past memorable houseguests. Yes, the new season premieres Thursday, July 7 at 21:00 on CBS, only have eight new HGS, while the rest of the cast will be completed by duets from previous seasons.

If you are confused, because CBS is being very secretive about what this means. The network has announced it will no duets or even how many will participate, or explain how they affect the game. They played duets separately? As a single person? It is not clear.

We know that CBS has reduced the potential of duets back to a field of six.

Season 12: Brendon and Rachel
Season 12: Hayden and Enzo
Season 11: Jeff and Jordan
Season 11: Jessie and Natalie
Season 8: Evel Dick and Daniele
Season 2: Dr. Will and Mike Boogie

This training is frightening, because I can get my eyes if I have to do another season with Rachel, Enzo, Jessie or Evel Dick. I also think these sounds like a terrible idea. Just wait for an All-Stars season, if you want to bring these people back, and if not at least try to avoid the winners of the past. Five of the 12 potential houseguests return has already won the series Dang.

However, there are eight new HGS, and here’s a quick rundown of what they are. No doubt, the oldest HG is only 41, but after so many seasons where it seemed that the entire cast was in his 20 years, I am a bit impressed that Big Brother 13 has a 41-year-old and two 39 years old. That is downright geriatric for this show.

The program has also apparently a little more diverse, with three of the eight new HGS be African American. I am also willing to hate Adam as an aspiring Enzo and Porsche have a stripper name and occupation of a lover of Tiger Woods.

Glenn Beck & Harassment?

Glenn Beck & Harassment?, Glenn Beck was harassed by a crowd of people at Bryant Park in New York, reported by The Huffington Post, Monday night, Beck and his family went to the park by a vision of Hitchcock’s “The 39 Steps.” When the family sat on her blanket, the “hostile situation,” he began. His wife, Tanya, had wine, “intentionally placed in the back”, leaving her team a thoroughly soaked. When his wife and daughter got up to go to the bathroom, a man pointed a finger at them and said that he shouted: “We do not like conservatives here!”

Beck says that these people were the “most people hate” he’d ever seen. Beck also have been surprised that no one stood up to stop the harassment. “Nobody in the crowd said, ‘enough. Just stop … I do not agree with the guy, but just cool.”

Beck seems more upset with the experience, rather than angry. He said: “All I could think of the people around me all night was that I feel for you … they are so lost … and so convinced that they are absolutely 100% correct, and you are helping build a system that is fueled by hatred. “Do not even want any of his enemies to be treated like the way it was in the park, saying,” Please, never try anyone like that. If Van Jones is and sits next to you, please do not treat someone like him. “At issue, Beck said he just looking to see a movie with his family in the park.

Tropical Storm Arlene

Tropical Storm Arlene, Employees of Cameron County Parks System were making last minute preparations in South Padre Island in the case of Tropical Storm Arlene brings flooding in the area.

Although Arlene is expected to make landfall sometime today over northeastern Mexico, the tropical humidity of the storm has been making their way south of Cameron County.

County workers on Wednesday were the removal of trash barrels and signs County beaches in anticipation of flooding that could begin tonight, authorities said. County Parks Director Javier Mendez said the waves were picking up on the island and afternoon officials Wednesday closed access to parts of Andy Bowie Park and Playa de Boca Chica.

County Judge Carlos H. Cascos said he ordered the closure of beach access No. 5 and No. 6 and access to the beach of Boca Chica, due to high tides, rip currents and dangerous driving conditions. Access will be closed until this afternoon.

“I asked our police authorities to ensure that persons or vehicles are allowed in these areas,” Hulls said in a news release. “It’s very important that the public pay attention to all warnings and keep out of danger.”

As of Wednesday afternoon, Arlene was located 85 miles east of Tuxpan, Mexico.

Greg Flatt, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Brownsville, said the NWS was reporting water and reaches the dunes on Wednesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, a warning of coastal flooding and high surf warning remains in effect until Friday morning for the Cameron County.

Great waves of the Gulf are expected to bring dangerous rip currents and tidal flooding, the NWS reports.

Some flooding was expected overnight on the beaches, and forecasters said some erosion might also occur the waves push further into the beach.

Heavy rain is expected to continue in the area today and Friday. There is a probability of 70 percent for heavy rain today and a probability of 40 percent for heavy rain tonight. More rain in the forecast through the weekend.

The rain until Friday is likely to range from 1 to 3 inches, with up to 5 inches in some parts of the county, said Flatt.

While no flooding is expected, there could be flooding in low lying areas and roads, the NWS reports.

The waves of the Gulf are expected to increase to 8 to 10 feet Wednesday and remain at this point today.

The risk of hangover was raised to “high risk” and will remain there for the weekend.

In preparation for the rain, Cameron County and city crews Brownsville earlier this week were busy cleaning ditches and testing equipment to remove standing water.

County employees in recent weeks had been preparing sandbags should not be a need for them. In addition, the bombs were placed near the Mariposa Ranch near Harlingen, which received heavy flooding last week.

Katy Perry & ITunes

Katy Perry & ITunes, Michael Jackson is currently the only artist to have five singles from the same album reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. (Believe it or not, was not the mega-selling “Thriller” album either – it was his 1987 album “Bad” that had “Just I can not Stop Loving You,” the title track, “The Way You me feel, “” Man in the Mirror “and” Dirty Diana “all top the list.)

Katy Perry can now become the second artist – and the first woman – to achieve the same feat in 52 years the Billboard chart history.

Last week, Billboard reported Perry’s latest single “Last Friday Night (TGIF)” hit number 31 to number 4 and is currently on track went to number one this week.

The new success would be the fifth single “Teenage Dream” Perry album to top the charts, with “California Gurls,” the title track, “Fireworks” and “ET”

According to MTV, she is the only artist to have five songs sold over 4 million digital downloads. “Hot N Cold”, “I Kissed A Girl”, “fireworks” California Gurls “and” ET “has sold over 4 million singles online each. The closest selling digital artist Lady Gaga, who has three simple with over 4 million downloads.

However, Perry’s music is not without controversy.

In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, Perry defended her songs, while wearing a bra made with Hershey’s kisses on the cover.

“I am not a doll,” he says. “I know that ‘California Gurls’ will not save the world. But I think I have a great heart of my education and got a lot of heart into my songs.”

While Katy Perry aims to top the Billboard charts with their new single, “Last Friday Night (TGIF) has” already reached No. 1 on the iTunes singles chart.

Princess Diana

Princess Diana, It is a question that is not supposed to ask ourselves (void useless regrets before they grow, says the mother). But it is also an issue that makes for a compelling novel.

Like, what if Princess Diana had not died in that tragic car accident in Paris? That’s the premise of the new novel by Monica Ali, “The Untold Story”, and is already raising eyebrows. In it, Diana fakes her own death in the famous car accident after her boyfriend’s yacht jumps, no beach in Brazil, has a little plastic surgery, and then finds its way to a small American town called Kensington (that’s right) and sits in a quiet, ordinary life, suburban as a tall, thin brunette named Lydia.

Tempting, sure, but here’s another yes. What if Diana was alive? What would have thought it? Does it make you just a little sensitive?

Ms. Ali, a high forehead British author of Booker-nominated “Brick Lane”, faces the heat in this, her most audacious novel. It has attracted little against the exploitation of poor taste.

But Ali is not alone in pushing the envelope with a fictionalized account of a real person. Mark Helprin “Freddy and Frederica”, a playful parody of a future king and queen of England, is a satire of Charles and Diana evening. And “American Wife” Curtis Sittenfeld is a woman scholar with liberal leanings who marries a rake no good either – which happens to be the son of a famous politician – and he loves drinking and parties and finally becomes President? Even I have to say is the fictional story of the life of Laura Bush. (Ms. Sittenfeld gently but firmly criticized the “untold story” as a gentle, simple and banal, in a review in The New York Times.)
