Los Angeles City Hall Park Still Closed

2012-01-25T08:36:00.001-08:00

I do not know what is worse, a park with trees boarded up with chain linked fences or stifling of protest? How long will Los Angeles City Hall Park be closed as a deterrent to the Occupy LA and OWS Movement?

Joe Paterno: A Time To Die

2012-01-22T08:00:00.000-08:00

Amidst the growing or now shrinking (depending how one looks at it) Penn State allege Rape Scandal and cover up, the former head coach who was forced to resign, Joe Paterno died. One reporter announced his death at 9pm yesterday and then that story was retracted. Moments ago it was officially announced that the Patriarch of Penn State football had passed from lung cancer. Paterno was 85. It was also reported that the former coach was interviewed extensively shortly before his death by Washington Post reporter Sally Jenkins. In the interview he denied knowing about the accusation that his long time assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was seen raping a boy in the Penn State football shower. With Paterno's death, there are more questions than answers. Did Joe Paterno not know that Sandusky was a child rapist? Did Joe help in the cover up so not to mar Penn State's illustrious football legacy? Was there a huge pedophile ring using the poor youth of the city as a easy target for rape protected by the powerful elite? We may never know the answers but one thing is for certain. Joe Paterno picked a convenient time to die.

David Beckham: The Great Fake Out- Signs 2 Year LA Galaxy Contract

2012-01-21T08:27:00.001-08:00

In order to gain greater position with an opponent, it is wise to use the bluff, the fake out the ruse. I'm not saying that is exactly what David Beckham and his management team (XIX Entertainment) did when after the LA Galaxy won the MLS Championship right before Beckham's contract was to expire and Becks appeared to be in strong negotiations with Paris Saint Germain. It didn't make sense. Rumors were rampant that David wanted to end his famed career in Europe. His wife Victoria who has a very successful clothing line could be closer to the fashion scene and their four children would be enrolled in a French school. But everything is not always what it seems. The Beckhams have established themselves in the LA lifestyle. Sunny weather, surfing, skateboarding, famous friends, David working on a acting career and young sons who have gotten attached to their friends and school near their Beverly Hills home. Who would leave sunny Cali for dismal weather? So it makes total sense that David Beckham announced recently that he and the LA Galaxy signed a two year contract.

Heidi Klum & Seal: Another Celebrity Coupling Bites The Dust

2012-01-21T07:57:00.000-08:00

With the rumors of Johhny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, news of Katy Perry and Russell Brand, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, Deion Sanders and Pilar, Kobe and Vanessa Bryant, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, JLO and Marc Anthony, Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries all splitting up, it appears breaking up is easy to do. Now it appears Heidi Klum and Seal are heading to terminate their short marriage according to TMZ. Being in a committed relationship isn't easy, especially if a couple or one of the parties is so successful with their own career that they don't have proper time or energy to maintain the relationship. Cheating and resentment become too easy when a partner is away and there is always someone around to help lick wounds. As for Seal, I was in a camera shop a while back and he was in front of me while exiting the store, we were going down the stairs and I heard him tell his companion he didn't understand why he was being photographed all the time. It seemed obvious he didn't like the added attention of being Heidi Klum's husband. He didn't seem to handle it well whereas Klum was used to it and appered to glory in the spotlight. She used the added attention to build her various Brands (her TV shows,web series, books etc).
Whereas Seal just seemed to get pissed.
Regardless of fame or not, ending a marriage/long term relationship where Love was once strong, is never easy and without pain.

Kim Kardashian Keeping It Krunk

2012-01-20T19:38:00.000-08:00

The princess of reality TV made an appearance today in the land of "swimming pools and movie stars". Kim Kardashian a wonder in a mad mad world of the haves and have nots. A woman who has become famous infamous by dubious means. But since the beginning of recorded history, the world has loved a villain on the stage of life to ridicule, despise, envy and abhor. Ladies and Gentlemen here is Kim Kardashian from early today in Beverly Hills...

Dan Feuerriegel and Manu Bennett of Spartacus Vengeance

2012-01-20T07:57:00.000-08:00

Here is Dan Feuerriegel chatting about his character and Manu Bennett signing more autographs...

Manu Bennett Chats With KAT About Female Gladiators on Spartacus: Vengeance

2012-01-20T07:40:00.000-08:00

I like Spartacus better than most TV and movies. I tried to watch the IMMORTALS just couldn't. Anyway, I loved watching Andy Whitfield. Also the character development that is evident in the show makes it very addictive. "Crixus" played by Manu Bennett grew on me. I liked him when he first appeared on Spartacus Blood and Sand. Crixus was like a bull in a China shop. He was rough and wanted to be loyal Gladiator whereas Andy Whitfield's Spartacus had a nobility resonating about him. Crixus was realistically dealing with being a slave and his only hope of freedom was being a champion Gladiator. Spartacus wanted to get the hell out and reunite with his wife. He didn't care about being a gladiator he just used the situation as a means to gaining his life and his wife back. Once she was killed, revenge was all that he wanted. It was like these two men, Crixus and Spartacus were half but together they formed one whole man with both reason and passion. As Crixus said in a previous episode "in another life the two would have been brothers." These two battle each other and were the fiercest foes until they had to work together in the last seasons episode of Spartacus. Spartacus: Vengeance begins where they left off. Here is Manu Bennett who in real life is a noble man who takes care of his children and family then later I asked him about female gladiators on the new season...

Katrina Law, Viva Bianca & Nick E Tarabay of Spartacus:Vengeance

2012-01-20T07:32:00.000-08:00

So the ironic side of my VIP tickets to Spartacus:Vengeance is that I sat near the lovely Katrina Law and Viva Bianca. It doesn't get any better than that. Ashur aka Nick E Tarabay was sitting to the right front of me directly in front of Viva Bianca which was a perfect match since the two are so diabolic on the show. Here is Katrina Law & Viva Bianca signing at the afterparty.

Here is "Ashur" signing for the autograph hounds until his publicist proves she isn't the one to let her client sign a blank photo paper...

Dan Feuerriegel & the Term F-ing Gaul

2012-01-20T07:27:00.000-08:00

It is fun to find out where words and phrases originate. So I asked Dan Feuerriegel who plays "Agron" on Spartacus: Vengeance about the phrase he uses frequently to show his disdain for "Crixus" played by Manu Bennett.

Spartacus' Nick E Tarabay - "Ashur" The Arse

2012-01-20T07:19:00.000-08:00

I don't know why Nick E Taraby's name isn't on the A-List Short List. His role of "Ashur" is a fan favorite and has so many wonderful devious layers. He is the yang to Viva Bianca who plays "Ilithyia"'s yin. Ashur is a character like a rat that won't die even when you think he won't get out of a tight spot, he cunningly survives. Nick E Taraby is perfect in the role of Ashur and is so much fun to watch. Here is Tarabay at the premiere...

Spartacus:Vengeance Sometimes It is Better To Be On The Outside

2012-01-20T07:08:00.000-08:00

Anyone who follows my blog or tweets, knows that I'm an admirer of the Starz Series SPARTACUS. So I was happily surprised when I won tickets to the Hollywood premiere.
I was planning to change my picture as a tribute to Andy Whitfield since my last picture was for the holidays. On the day I changed it to a more gladiatoresque picture, I found out I had already won. Cool. So on the day I was going to the show, my printer died (I had to print out the Spartacus Invite), I fell on some stairs and lost some crystals out of my necklace and I was running around trying to find out where my shoes were. I was a mess like I was going on a date with Viggo Mortenson or something (LOL). Anyway, I finally got it together. Went to the event was told to go to the wrong line, I met someone else who had won tickets and he told me to go with him back to the table and get it all straighten out. Well I'm glad I listened to him because he was right. We got our tickets and were told to wait in the lobby when security opened the doors. Meanwhile there were a few fans that were outside at the barricades that were waiting for the stars. There was amble room but security wouldn't let anyone else join them. So imagine realizing that although you had VIP tickets, the people outside were having a great time while you watched with envy on the inside and couldn't go out. This is what it looked like

LAPD Will Now Have A Reason To Go To Porn Sets & Will Lesbians In Porn Be Forced To Wear Dental Dams?

2012-01-17T19:17:00.000-08:00

The Los Angeles City Council voted 9 to 1 Tuesday to approve the mandatory usage of condoms on Porn sets to prevent the spread and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. The initiative was brought to vote to spare L.A. with a $4 million ballot measure schedule for June. Although mandatory condom usage in pornography seems like a no brainer, many are claiming that the rule impedes on civil and individual rights. Opponents, want the government via the city to stay out of their sex lives. And they are fighting the imitative that will go into effect in 90 days. Some think if condoms are forced on performers, that many productions will go underground to avoid the law. But really what else is new. Even Charlie Chaplin back in his day, shot his early movies without permits to save money. Many regular (non porn) productions cheat when it comes to permits. So it is very possible that the L.A.P.D. will be checking in on porn sets to see if every male is wearing a "rain coat". But it also begs the question when it comes to Lesbian scenes, will female performers have to wear dental dams to protect themselves? Here is a clip of one of the performers in porn that influenced the new enforcement.

KAT's Tribute to Andy Whitfield and SPARTACUS

2012-01-17T11:14:00.000-08:00

I was planning this for a while but I did it today. I'm not in tip top shape so GET OVER IT! But I wanted to get this done. Fans of KAT TALES TV know I change my avi (pix) and I wanted to do one as a tribute to Andy Whitfield who started my interested in the Starz series 'Spartacus'. I'm addicted to the series. Plus the workout program that you can find on line is soooooo COOL! Who doesn't love hot guys fighting with barely anything on as well as great writing and directing. So here is to ANDY WHITFIELD (R.I.P.) you inspired many and you had many fans as well as family that loved you. As for the new season of Spartacus may it be as great as the others. As for the following pictures, I'm not as cut as I used to be from when I did martial arts and sword play regularly. I miss working out. Shooting photography and videos has taken over but hopefully I can find some fighters to practice with.
