WATCH: 'Game of Thrones' Star Maisie Williams Sees 'Saved By The Bell' For First Time
Maisie Williams of "Game of Thrones" watched "Saved By The Bell" for the first time as part of the latest "Teens React" video from Fine Brothers Entertainment.
To celebrate the series' 25th anniversary, a group of teenagers, including the 17-year-old Williams, were filmed as they reacted to the hit 1990s show.
"Why don't we have intros like this anymore?" Williams asked while bopping her head to the show's catchy theme song.
Although the young actress found the story lines unrealistic, she doesn't think the characters' outfits are that outrageous.
"We're kind of coming back to this fashion now," she notes. "Everyone is wearing this stuff again."
Williams also weighed in on the age old question: Zack Morris or A.C. Slater?
Check out which '90s character she prefers below!

Love And Theft singer & fiancee expecting first child in December
Listen to Love And Theft on iHeartRadio
The Love And Theft family continues to grow. Country star Stephen Barker Liles is on his way to becoming a dad.
The singer tells "People" he and finacée Jenna Michelle Kennedy are expecting their little bundle of joy on December 3rd - which he calls "perfect timing." Stephen explains that it's his "freest month of the year," so if the baby arrives on schedule he'll be at home with Jenna when they start their family.
But Liles knows anything can happen. His bandmate Eric Gunderson welcomed his first child into the world earlier this year - and earlier than expected. His son Camden was due in May but was born in March.
Stephen and Jenna plan to get married next June. Jenna said "yes" when Stephen offered up a beachfront proposal in Fort Myers, Florida back in May. But Liles admits that with a baby on the way, these days they're spending more time on nursery plans than wedding plans.

Kim Kardashian reacts to new beach body mag cover
(Yahoo!) - Everyone's jaws dropped on Wednesday morning after they saw how fabulous Kim Kardashian's post-baby beach bod looked on Us Weekly's latest cover - hat is, everyone's jaw except for Kim's.
"Omg! Insider's" Thea Andrews caught up with the reality star Wednesday morning at The Hollywood Reporter's 22nd annual Women in Entertainment breakfast presented by Lifetime, where - proving that she's her own harshest critic - she revealed that seeing that picture only made her want to work harder in the gym.
"I don't know if I really love that shot," Kim confessed.
"You worked really hard for it though, and you're being recognized for it," Thea replied.
"I'm so critical of myself, so I look at it [and] I'm like, 'Alright I have to get back in the gym, don't slack for the holidays,' after seeing that," noted the 33-year-old beauty. "And I'm like, 'I have a couple more [pounds] to go.'"
Kim also opened up about how focused she was on whipping her physique back into shape after having given birth to daughter Nori in June. "It just feels good for me that I really was never a dieter and I could never stick to anything. I had more will power, so I think because of so much media scrutiny it really motivated me actually … to want to really stick and commit to something," she continued.
"And after like six weeks for the doctor to say you can start working out and dieting, I really stuck with this. So I was really proud of the accomplishment that I stuck to a diet that before I was never able to do."

New study says doctors can't "just say no" to their patients
A recent medical article has demonstrated that doctors cave to their patients' medication requests with regularity, even when controlled substances like Oxycodone are involved. It's not that big a surprise really—the customer is always right, after all.
The study serves as a reminder, though, of a venerable truth: the relationship between the doctors who diagnose and the drugs they prescribe is every bit as complex as the well travelled crisscross between Gwyneth and Chris —maybe even more so. Long ago, it was all so simple: the doctor was part shaman, part priest, part pal with nothing to offer but a smile and a shrug.
Then came remedies: the powder, the salve, the wondrous elixir. The real charlatans (as opposed to flummoxed, inept, surely avaricious practitioners) all leaned in, hoping to find the next sucker born that minute. After all, no group is more ripe for the picking than the infirm, either those chronically afflicted or the once healthy who meet a sudden calamity. So much desperation means so many opportunities—how simple then, to squeeze out a fortune or two on the promise of a miraculous cure.
But with so much money changing hands, rules were created. That veteran killjoy, the FDA, stuck its sanctimonious nose into the entire orgy and separated the action into two basic teams: the doctors and the pharmacists. Each would get a healthy slice of the healthcare pie and live mostly peacefully and plumply, with the self-satisfied sense that they didn't quite get all they deserved.
Rather than live happily ever after, however, this Eden too was invaded—by the customer. That's you, the potential patient (and we are all potential patients, a market 7 billion strong and growing daily). First, as mentioned, was movement that came to regard patients as human beings, not animals or children that disinterested (though informed) outsiders made decisions about. In the first major self-reflective moment of modern medicine, doctors and patients alike suddenly remembered that illness, just like car repair, involved discussions between adults, not dictation and stenography.
Growing the exact opposite direction, though, towards the heart of wealth management, was the 1997 FDA "guidance" that trampled the barrier which previously had restrained direct to consumer (DTC) advertising. Prior to that, there was a gentleman's agreement to behave, mostly; the TV and mag ads that ran were cautious and proper since the pharmaceutical guys knew the FDA might swoop in at any moment and make them play by the rules.

Obama To Republicans: "Stop Hatin' All The Time"
(Kansas City, MO) -- President Obama is challenging congressional Republicans to "stop being mad all the time -- stop hatin' all the time."
Speaking in Kansas City, Obama highlighted declining unemployment and a robust manufacturing sector. He insisted, "Things are getting better." Before his remarks, the President got some more good news on the economy. The U.S. Gross Domestic Product expanded at a rate of four percent in the second quarter. The GDP growth was higher than expected and could create higher expectations for the last six months of 2014. The President said he's glad that the GDP has grown but noted that many people should be earning more than the minimum wage. Obama has been urging congressional Republicans to agree to a hike in the national minimum wage. He argued that a wage hike will help struggling families while pumping more money into the economy.
Obama also mocked House Republican plans to sue him for executive overreach. He called it a taxpayer-funded political stunt in an election year. The President noted that legal wheels turn slowly and predicted, "By the time the thing is done, I will have left office."

HealthSmart: Take this quiz about 'change before The Change' in women
January 28, 2013
Night sweats, mood swings, unpredictable periods: They can happen to the best of women, they're normal and they're all signs of perimenopause — the phase in a woman's life when hormone levels start to fluctuate and she begins her transition to menopause. Test your health knowledge about perimenopause, the "change before The Change," with this true-false quiz.
True or False? It starts after 40.
False. It can start in your 40s, but some women feel symptoms as early as 35, and others not until after 50. Your experience will be unique, as well, from the severity and frequency of symptoms to even which ones you'll feel and when they'll end — perimenopause can last anywhere from two to eight years. (Menopause officially starts when you've gone 12 months without a period.) You can't predict exactly when it will begin, but factors such as smoking may bring it on earlier. Women also tend to experience "changes" around the same age as their moms.
True of False? It spurs mid-life weight gain.
False. Blame aging and lifestyle. A boost in belly fat may be a consequence of hormonal changes during perimenopause, according to a recent comprehensive review by the International Menopause Society. Before menopause, women tend to store extra weight in the hips and thighs. As estrogen levels drop, the hormonal shift causes fat to settle in the midsection. Aim to keep your waist size less than 35 inches for women, 40 inches for men. Anything greater is linked to an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
True or False? Your memory may slip.
True. Hot flashes are the most common symptom, but "brain fog" ranks high on the list of complaints, with up to two-thirds of women reporting forgetfulness or other memory-related difficulties. One study found perimenopausal women were more apt to test low on "working memory," which is the ability to take in and manipulate new information (such as mentally adding a series of numbers); they also had a harder time concentrating. More research is needed to determine why this happens. Experts suspect other symptoms, such as depression or sleep problems, may contribute to the memory problems.
True or False? Hormone therapy can relieve symptoms.
True. During perimenopause, birth control pills are often the most effective treatment. Once you reach menopause, your doctor may suggest low-dose hormone therapy to alleviate hot flashes and other symptoms. Used for the short-term, hormone therapy is safe for many women. It's not recommended, however, for those with a history of breast cancer or blood clots. Your age and the length of time since menopause also play a significant role in risks associated with hormone therapy. Talk with your doctor to determine your safest way to feel better.

VH suing Van Halen drummer's ex over name use
Listen to Van Halen on iHeartRadio
The former wife of Van Halen's drummer is being sued over the alleged illegal use of the rock band's name to sell clothing, blankets and fashion accessories.
According to court papers filed in Los Angeles, Kelly Van Halen is accused of illegally infringing on the group's registered trademark to market her fashion line.
The plaintiffs claim Kelly's items are "identical or closely related to" merchandise sold by Van Halen which is causing a "loss in the value" to the band's name.
Kelly and Alex Van Halen were married for 12 years until their 1996 divorce. Van Halen trademarked its name upon the 1978 release of their debut album.

Taliban captures military dog
(NEWSER) – A new Taliban video shows what might be the world's first canine POW. In the video, the militants claim to have captured a military service dog during a battle with American forces in Afghanistan's Laghman province in December, reports the Washington Post. Both ABC andFox News quote Pentagon sources as saying the dog actually belongs to another nation in the US-led coalition force, perhaps Britain. The dog is seen on a chain, outfitted with the electronic gear it wore during the raid, say the Taliban.

Report: Just One Lifeboat Deployed as Ferry Sank
(NEWSER) – The doomed South Korean ferry had 46 lifeboats, but according to a report from CNN's South Korean affiliate YTN, just one was deployed as the ferry sank yesterday. CNN has not independently confirmed the report, though video from another network shows at least 12 survival capsules, which house the lifeboats, remained attached to the ferry. Who did apparently make it off the ship in a lifeboat? The captain, who coast guard officials say boarded one just 32 minutes after the accident was reported, according to ABC News. The latest developments:
Another big problem: The initial orders issued over the PA system were for passengers to don a life jacket but remain in place rather than try to escape, which may have been a fatal mistake. A crew member explains to the AP that no immediate evacuation order was issued because officers were attempting to stabilize the vessel after it started to tilt. He says an evacuation order was given by the captain 30 minutes later, but he wasn't sure if it went out over the PA; some survivors say they never heard it. The delayed evacuation order also likely kept lifeboats from being deployed, the AP notes.

4 Democratic lawmakers either arrested or raided by the FBI in quick succession
Three Democratic lawmakers were either arrested or had their office raided Wednesday by the FBI.
Two of the Democrats, including Charlotte, N.C. Mayor Patrick Cannon, were charged in connection with FBI stings that caught them allegedly taking bribes from undercover agents. Coupled with an FBI raid that led to the resignation of a prominent Democratic lawmaker in Rhode Island this past weekend, four Democrats have recently come under the FBI's radar.
Here are the four:
New York state assemblyman
The FBI raided Democratic New York Assemblyman William Scarborough's Albany office Wednesday morning and also took papers from his office in Jamaica, Queens. The feds confronted him at 5:45 a.m. in a hotel room, where they seized his smartphone. FBI investigators asked Scarborough about per diem reimbursements received by state lawmakers.
"I'm innocent, but I understand the reality," Scarborough told reporters at the state capitol Wednesday. "I don't know what's going to go on. I am going to talk to a lawyer, this is just stunning to me."
Scarborough was first elected to the Assembly from a primarily Queens County district in 1994.
California state senator
Democratic California state Sen. Leland Yee was arrested Wednesday for wire fraud and conspiracy to deal firearms as part of an FBI sweep in Sacramento and the Bay Area. The gun-control proponent allegedly conspired to facilitate an undercover agent's purchase of illegal firearms, which would be imported through a port in Newark, N.J.
Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow, an organized crime figure in Chinatown, was arrested as part of the investigation that nabbed Yee.
Yee allegedly traded "official acts" for donations from undercover agents, and took $10,000 from an undercover agent to make a call to the California Department of Public Health passing along kind words about a potential contractor.
Yee was elected to the California State Assembly in 2002 and to the State Senate in 2006. He placed fifth in the 2011 San Francisco mayoral race, running up a $70,000 debt prior to his alleged crimes.

WATCH: Fire engulfs fireworks factory sending fireworks soaring
Some lucky Indiana residents got a bonus fireworks display late Wednesday when a fire broke out at a fireworks store, engulfing the building and sending fireworks soaring into the air as firefighters battled the blaze.
The cause of the fire at Windy City Fireworks in Rochester, Ind., remains under investigation, Fulton County fire officials said. According to WSBT-TV, firefighters "had to dodge fireworks that were being activated by the flames."
No one was in the building at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported. The building also houses an antiques store.
The fire began around 9:30 p.m., officials said. Dozens of drivers pulled over to take a look at the impromptu fireworks display, causing minor traffic delays, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office said.
A Rochester police official told WSBT that the family that owns Windy City Fireworks once owned a Rochester fire extinguisher warehouse that exploded in 2001, killing four people.

Report: Drake & Chris Brown end feud
Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio | Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio
The feud between Drake and Chris Brown may be a thing of the past.
The beef between the two peaked with an apparent brawl between their two entourages at a nightclub in New York last year.
However, this week Chris took to Facebook, writing that he was "Hangin with Drake in the studio." He also posted a video showing him in the lab with his many collaborators, which included Big Sean, Will.i.am and Drake. In the footage, Drake is heard saying that one song is a "big record." The two are also shown shaking hands.
While the Facebook post was later removed from Chris' page, "Us Weekly" reports that there are other signs that two have reconciled.
One source tells the magazine that the two put their feud behind them at the recent iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas.
Apparently, Drizzy paid a visit to Chris' dressing room. The source says the two "decided to start fresh."

GLAAD slams Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson for anti-gay remarks
Phil Robertson has issued an apology of sorts for the anti-gay comments he made in the January issue of GQ.
As Gossip Cop reported, the "Duck Dynasty" star says homosexuality is a "sin," citing his Christian faith and the Bible as the basis of his belief.
"Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right," he told the magazine.
But in a statement released on Wednesday through A&E, Robertson backtracks on his comments.
"I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior. My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together," says the duck hunter.
Robertson goes on, "However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."
GLAAD has also issued a statement slamming the reality star for his remarks.
"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans – and Americans – who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples," says a spokesperson.
The rep adds, "Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families."

I'm shaking off the malaise that has been the preseason. Frankly there has been little to write about and not much but mental note-taking during this training camp. I can sense the team hasn't been too interested in things over the last 10 days or so. They are quite bored with practice, which is one of the reasons Mike Brown gave them this whole weekend off. Here's some stuff I've noticed:To read more or comment...
--Thanks for visiting as always, should you have some more free time I've got a new ESPN story, or as LeBron would call it, a new ESPN joint up here. Also if you have an ESPN Insider membership you read my Five Observations.To read more or comment...
First off, the Cavs did not trade Luke Jackson for Dwyane Jones.To read more or comment...
--After watching Shannon Brown in summer league in Vegas back in July I was pretty sure he could help the Cavs in some capacity right away. After watching him in last week's scrimmage and last night's relatively miserable preseason opener I feel even stronger that he's got the potential to be a solid rotation player. However I am also convinced it won't be happening anytime soon. Mike Brown, as reason dictates, is going with Damon Jones and David Wesley in that position for the foreseeable future. Last night Brown didn't come into the game until the starters were wearing T-shirts and flip flops in the third quarter.To read more or comment...
There's been no significant rule changes. They haven't asked the veterans to report to training camp earlier. The CBA is settled. There's no dress code changes. What to talk about the first week of the season this year? Ah ha, the new ball.
Look, I'm not a professional basketball player (in case you thought otherwise). I probably can't appreciate the little nuances, such as the feel of the ball. Just as I bet an NBA player can't understand, say, the difference in the wireless network availibility at various NBA arenas or the differences in frequent flyer programs. However, I can say with reasonable certainty that all this talk about the ball is much ado about nothing.
They were using the new balls during summer league in July. Those players seemed to handle it just fine. Listening to all the worries about how slick the ball gets, you'd think an NBA practice would resemble a kindergarten dodge ball game these days. Sure, there will be some adjustment, but it isn't going to impact the game. After the preseason, you'll probably never hear about it again.
Several of the Cavs actually like the ball. Drew Gooden told me he's never been able to palm an NBA ball until this year. I couldn't believe that and challenged him. He said he could cradle it, but not palm it. Eric Snow and LeBron James, the two primary ball handlers, told me they thought the ball was cheap but they'd handle it just fine.
So enjoy the fodder -- we beat writers need something interesting to write about this time of year -- but don't read too much into it.
Oh, great line today by Zydrunas Ilgauskas. As a guy who lives in Cleveland year round, Z was asked if it is different being out in public when your with a winning team. Said Z: "Well, it's better because when people as you how the team will be this season you don't have to BS them as much."
That's all for now. Check my stories from training camp on the Cavs offensive changes and the pressure on last year's free agents to step up.
--Lots of players saying "I'm happy to be here."
--Scot Pollard not sporting any facial hair, a Mohawk, and joking about an endorsement deal with "Fun Dip."
--Damon Jones saying he's "in the best shape since I left Miami." Which, I guess, means he wasn't in the best shape at the start of last year's training camp.
--Drew Gooden saying he could throw the ball up high enough for Randy Moss to catch it.
--Lots of players saying they were "looking forward to the season."
--Sasha Pavlovic's stunning tan, which he said he got back home in Montenegro. In case you missed it, he's not from Serbia anymore, there's a new country. "It's still all the same," he told me.
--A clean shaven Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
--Seeing Ondrej Starosta sit at a table all by himself. By the way, he's from the Czech Republic, the same people that brought you Jiri Welsch.
--Lots of players saying they're "trying to get better every day."
--Larry Hughes flicking off a bunch of reporters...showing them the range of motion on his right middle finger.
--Austin Carr sporting his new look...sans mustache.
--LeBron James refering to his new Sprite commercial as a "joint."
--LeBron James calling Warren Buffett "a cool guy, when I found out how much he was worth."
--LeBron James breaking down his "ink."
--Lots of players saying "We just need to win ballgames."

Fast-Food Strikes Hit 58 Cities Today
(NEWSER) – You might want to pack a lunch today. This summer's series of fast-food walkouts continues in a big way, as workers in at least 58 cities across the country go on strike. Organizers are calling it the largest such strike to date. The workers plan to picket the likes of McDonald's, Burger King, and KFC during lunchtime as they call for wages of $15 an hour and the right to form a union without fear of retaliation, the AP reports. The previous "biggest strike" occurred in July, when as many as 2,220 workers participated in a seven-city strike.

First and foremost?
The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later is a phenomenal script. Written as a follow-up to Tectonic Theater's docudrama The Laramie Project (2000), the sequel's premise is an exploration of how Laramie, Wyoming has changed a decade after the brutal murder of Matthew Shepard.
Referred to on the theater's site as an epilogue, the printed work Perrette (and co) performed on Sunday is the end result of five members of Tectonic — founder Moisés Kaufman, accompanied by Andy Paris, Leigh Fondakowski, Greg Pierotti and Stephen Belber — who sought out the same people they interviewed ten years ago for The Laramie Project and spoke with them again, along with new members of the community.
A portion of these accounts has been edited into a 10 minute clip posted on Tectonic Theater's YouTube channel. (Link provided for those whom might be interested in subscribing…)
Otherwise, I've embedded it here:
In short, The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later posits regional questions, such as "Has Matthew's murder had a lasting impact on [their] community?" and "How has the town changed as a result of this event?"
Moreover, the play addresses salient topics regarding the nation's current social climate, through queries such as "What does life in Laramie tell us about life in America 10 years later?"
Insofar as my promise to post images from Sunday's reading at Hollywood United Methodist Church, I encountered a bit of a roadblock on that venture—namely, several signs with the statement "There is no photography or recording (video or audio) allowed at this performance" that had been affixed throughout the structure, replete with a sentiment of "Thank you!"
In a different setting, for a different cause, and with a different cast–namely, one in which I don't have such a formidable level of respect, let alone a personal relationship of any sort?
Truth be told, I probably would have considered it just another "Don't So Delicious To Do."
Nonetheless, in this case?
A group shot (courtesy of Richard Settle) will have to suffice, please.&.thanks:
Standing (L-R): Jim Parsons, James Cromwell, Helen Shaver, Pauley Perrette, Christian Clemenson
Seated (L-R): Michael Weatherly, Johnny Galecki, Barrett Foa, Lisa Edelstein, Zachary Quinto and Julie Benz.
A review of the performance awaits

This is the soft headband that has built-in headphones, making it easy to listen to music while falling asleep. Unlike ear buds that can slip out or bulky headphones that can be awkward to wear in bed, this stretchy headband stays comfortably in place all night long. Its 20mm diameter flat speakers are tucked unobtrusively inside the cozy fleece and provide a full 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range. A 48" audio cord exits via a pocket in the back to prevent tangling, and a volume control on the headband eliminates the need to fumble for a device in the dark. Compatible with any device that has a 1/8" audio port, the headband is ideal for unwinding with a book, drifting off to music, or even playing white noise to drown out a snoring partner. Machine washable. Black. 8" L x 6" W x 2 1/2" D. (3 oz.)

Very Good Product
By JFT
from Canada
This product is great for listening to music or talk radio in bed and allows you to comfortably lay on your side - you hardly know the headband is on! Extremely happy with this purchase.

Glad I bought it!
By charvey48
from Mountain Grove, MO
I bought this headband so I could listen to music, podcasts, and audiobooks at night when I'm having trouble sleeping, and it certainly works for that. It is a stretchy, one-size-fits-most headband, which I do find I have to re-position occasionally because it tends to slip down over my eyes. This is not really uncomfortable, because the headband is soft; but it does mis-align the built-in speakers making it hard to hear what I'm trying to listen to. I wish it fit a little more snugly; I'm going to try to take it up a little to see if that helps, but even if it doesn't I'm glad I bought it. All in all, I would recommend this product to anyone else who, like me, finds it impossible to use ear buds or headphones when lying down.

very comfortable also light

A great idea which didn't work for me.
By Spuds
from eastern Idaho
Too tight on my head, I would need a large size, this one marked as "M". No choice of size in catalog. Also difficult to move speakers in headband to position them over ears. I would recommend to friend who could comfortably wear it.
Couldn't hear it much.
By lesincanada
from Pinawa, Canada
Even at maximum volume on my iPod and on the simple slider control on the device, I could barely hear the music on my iPod.The device needs the help of an amplifier somewhere. I returned it for a refund.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: While we regret that this product didn't delight you, we are gratified that you took advantage of our unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.
works well, but one flaw for me
By Walter
from Newport Beach, CA
I have been using the product nightly since I received it. It is comfortable, and not very difficult to wash and reassemble. That said, I find that is slips out of position while sleeping. As I play a stereo recording that cycles the brain frequency through the normal sleep cycle, this slipping results in me waking up as the sound is lost.
Speakers not loud enough in handband.
By Harvey the Rabbit.
from Tulsa, OK
Speakers in headband are not loud enough using my Kindle HD Fire to be heard easily.
I like this product
By gbmountainrunner
from NC
I use this at night to help me relax so that I can sleep. It has a great sound and is very easy to use. Sure beats having those earbuds in your ear all night. I would recommend this for light sleepers. I really like it.
I love this product.
By Carol
from Rycroft, Alberta, Canada
These are great for listening to music while falling asleep. Also very comfortable for daily use. Don't hurt my ears like some headphones or ear buds.

PHOTOS: Pharrell is 'happy' & covers 'GQ' Magazine
Listen to Pharrell on iHeartRadio
The person responsible for our favorite song "Happy" – the stylish and incomparable Pharrell Williams – is April's GQ magazine cover star. Pharrell has certainly been known to be fearless and interesting when it comes to his style. The producer/singer/rapper goes into his super successful year, the early release of his album, GIRL (which should've been released in May but was released in early March) and getting snubbed by the Oscars. In the behind the scenes cover video, he shares his style rules with GQ.
"As long as something fits, you can pretty much make anything look good."

Alec Baldwin's Twitter account deleted after post-Gandolfini funeral rant
Alec Baldwin's verified Twitter account was deleted late on Thursday after the apparently enraged actor published a series of tweets aimed at a Daily Mail journalist who wrote a story about his wife's conduct at James Gandolfini's funeral.
Yahoo News captured Baldwin's angry, occasionally homophobic tweets before his account was taken offline.
According to the Daily Mail, Baldwin's wife, Hilaria, tweeted during Gandolfini's funeral service at New York's Cathedral Church of Saint John:
Messages included a request for ideas about wedding anniversary presents and promotional notes about her upcoming appearance on the Rachael Ray show.
The 29-year-old, who is due to give birth to her first child this summer, did make time to pay tribute to the late actor amid the social media flurry, writing: 'The circle of life is unbelievable--birth, life, death... Please take care of yourselves as life is fragile. Rest in Peace Jimmy.'

iTunes names Justin Timberlake 'Artist Of The Year'
Listen to Justin Timberlake on iHeartRadio
Justin Timberlake is topping off his comeback year with a special honor from iTunes.
The digital retailer has released its annual year-end lists, and the singer's The 20/20 Experience: Part One has been named the top-selling album of 2013. Coupled with the "Mirrors" as one of the top ten top-selling singles, the accolades have earned him the title of iTunes' "Artist Of The Year."
But the lists don't account for all of the year's music sales. According to "The Hollywood Reporter," iTunes' lists are based on the downloads only up to December 16th, meaning the full numbers for Beyonce's ground-breaking surprise album weren't counted.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' hit "Thrift Shop" was the top-selling track on iTunes this year, followed by Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive."
Congrats to Justin!

NFL outlaws dunking over the goal post
First Jimmy Graham gets franchise tagged by the Saints as a tight end instead of a receiver this offseason, and now the NFL has taken his touchdown celebration away.
The NFL has outlawed dunking over the goal post, a move first made popular by retired tight end Tony Gonzalez and carried on by Graham. During an interview on "The Dan Patrick Show," NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said that the touchdown celebration will be illegal now and will draw a penalty.
And yes, it looks like the NFL is taking another fun thing out of its game. Gonzalez didn't understand it.
The NFL says no more dunking over the goalpost. This one I don't understand. Looks like I got out just in time.
— Tony Gonzalez (@TonyGonzalez88) March 25, 2014
Graham (who is in a contract dispute with the Saints because he thinks he should get the more lucrative receiver franchise tag, instead of being classified as a tight end) and Gonzalez did the dunk celebration as an ode to their basketball-playing days, but many other players also throw it down over the goal post after touchdowns. That sometimes causes issues with the goal post becoming unbalanced and a slight delay to level it again, but that's rare. Presumably, that's the main reason the NFL wants to do away with the dunk, however.
The NFL also will allow referees to consult with the league office's command center during replay reviews.
The referee will still have the final say in whether a call stands or is reversed, but it's probably a positive step toward streamlining replay reviews. It just makes more sense to have league officials in a command center with large, high-definition screens looking at the play than a referee under a hood with the whole stadium watching.

No One Trusts the Government—and That's Bad News for Libertarians
The second coming of disgraced and oversexed pols Anthony Weiner (quite probably the next mayor of New York City) and Eliot Spitzer (who has announced a bid for city comptroller) helps to explain widespread and growing contempt for government. Every grandpa in Peoria, every schoolgirl in Seattle, every cartoon of a crying Statue of Liberty is asking the same question: What do you have to do to get banished from government work?
The short answer: you can't. Government and the people in it can always get worse, less competent, and more appalling. As an ardent believer in what the libertarian philosopher Robert Nozick and others called "the night-watchman state" – that is, the bare minimum in taxes and publicly provided services such as cops, courts, defense, and maybe some roads – I should be thrilled by the hollowing out of faith in government. It should be the first step toward punching Leviathan in the nose and squeezing him down to size.
But what if distrust in government perversely drives demand for more government? That's the implication of recent research, and it helps explain why the state keeps growing like an Anthony Weiner selfie even as our faith in it shrinks faster thanGeorge Costanza in a cold swimming pool.
Weiner and Spitzer may be punch lines, the more serious and unending litany of public-sector snafus is anything but a joke. In just the past few weeks, we've learned that the IRS improperly targeted conservative political groups (President Obama himself called that "intolerable and inexcusable") and that the National Security Agency has been peeking at everything we all do all the time. The economy is still in the crapper despite – read: because of – unending government intervention and the president has unilaterally declared the employer mandate in his "transformational" health-care law inoperative until he says otherwise. The current crop of statesmen in Washington, D.C. has passed exactly one budget since 2009 while driving deficit spending through the roof.
Given all this and more, it's not surprising when Pew Research concludes that "trust in federal government remains mired near a historic low and frustration with government remains high." Just 26 percent of Americans trust the government most or all of the time, while 73 percent usually distrust it. Last month, Gallup found among the 63% of Americans who see "non-economic issues" as the biggest problem facing the country today, the top issue is "dissatisfaction with government."
In a comprehensive survey of public attitudes done last September, Gallup found that just 19 percent of Americans think they "can trust the government in Washington to do what is right" "just about always" or "most of the time." The latest CNN/ORC poll, from mid-June, shows large majorities convinced that Obama is failing on the economy, the deficit, foreign policy, civil liberties, and just about everything else. The one upside? He's still doing better than Congress.
Which brings us to the 2010 paper "Regulation and Distrust," written by Philippe Aghion, Yann Algan, Pierre Cahuc, and Andrei Shleifer and published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics. Drawing on World Values Survey data from the past several decades for over 50 countries, the authors help explain what they call "one of the central puzzles in research on political beliefs: Why do people in countries with bad governments want more government intervention?"

Store Suspends Armed Clerk For Defending Shop During Robbery
A Vermont store clerk has been suspended from his job after he drew a gun in self-defense during a robbery.
Don Pitaniello, a 58 year-old Vietnam veteran from Rutland, was closing up shop at Mac's Convenience Store on Sunday when a man wearing a hoodie and a bandana over his face stormed in wielding a 5-inch knife, the Rutland Herald reports.
"He walked up to the counter, laid the knife on it and said 'Empty the register,'" Pitaniello told the paper.
"I knew his intentions as soon as he came in," Pitaniello said. "When he told me to empty the register, I cocked my head and said 'Really?'"
But Pitaniello had something ready for the man – a .380-caliber handgun hidden behind his back.
The man picked the knife up and waved it in Pitaniello's face.
Pitaniello replied with words and a pointed gun.
"I told him he better get the (expletive) out of there," he said.
The would-be robber listened and left.
Though Pitaniello may have saved his own life, he may have lost his job. The Rutland Herald reported that Pitaniello was suspended on Monday.
The store has a policy against bringing firearms to work, he was told. He broke another store rule by following the robber.

Appeals Court Upholds Ruling Against NYC's Sugary Drink Ban
(New York, NY) -- There's another legal setback for New York City's ban on large sugary drinks. An appellate court is upholding a lower court's ruling against New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's law to ban drinks larger than 16-ounces from most restaurants and eateries. The appeals court ruled that the ban was an overreach of executive power. Bloomberg championed the ban as a way to combat obesity, but opponents argued it wasn't right for the city to limit consumers' choices. The city plans to appeal the ruling to New York's highest State Court of Appeals.

(NEWSER) – Turns out that February crash will sideline Lindsey Vonn for the Sochi Olympics after all, despite her promises to the contrary and a successful surgery. "I am devastated to announce that I will not be able to compete in Sochi," Vonn wrote on Facebook today. "I did everything I possibly could to somehow get strong enough to overcome having no ACL but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level." She's having another surgery soon and expects to be ready for the World Championships next February.
