Spice Girls Not To Extend Tour
The Spice Girls will not be extending their tour to Asia, South America, and Australia. They are ending their highly successful tour in Toronto at the end of this month. The quintet have issued a statement.
“We’ve had such an amazing time over the last 3 months. It’s been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first time round, so we’ve really been able to appreciate it properly this time. There have been so many highlights and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart after Toronto. Really sorry if we didn’t get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives now but who knows what will happen next.”
I don't think this is the end. Maybe they will regroup for an album...though their new single failed. I hope they do stick together. I caught the show in Boston two days ago and it was absolutely phenomenal.
Williams Issues Statement
It's been a little over a week since the tragic passing of Heath Ledger. Former fiance, Michelle Williams, and mother to his child, Matilda, has issued a statement.
"Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him."
We wish her the best.

Jamie Spears has temporary power of Britney's finances, securing her residence, changing its locks, and vacating anyone living there. They can also restrict and limit visitors to Britney Spears and employ security guards to protect here.
Sounds like a step in the right direction.

Things are looking good for McCain. I'd rather have Mitt Romney win the Republican nomination because I think he is a weak candidate and a Democrat will have an easier time fighting him for the presidency.
As for the Democrats, the time is critical for Hillary Clinton. She is leading comfortably in some states but I'm still worried. I know she can do this and win over Obama. She is the best candidate. I especially want her to win in my home state of Connecticut where it is essentially tied at the moment. She can do this. We can do this. Go HILLARY!
The media is very much against Hillary. We cannot let this stand.
