Stone's A Gem For Jewellery Giants

Movie star Sharon Stone has been named the new face of Italian jewellery firm Damiani just weeks after anti-China comments cost her a lucrative deal with Christian Dior in the Far East. Stone has since apologised for suggesting the recent earthquake tragedy in China was karma for the way the country's leaders treat Tibetans, but Dior dropped her from an advertising campaign there. But Damiani bosses accept the remarks made at the Cannes Film Festival last month were a slip-up on Stone's part, and she'll join the likes of Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Isabella Rossellini and Sophia Loren as spokesmodels for the gem giants. Stone will front an international print campaign for the firm's Musts and Masterpieces collection, in which she'll portray aviator Amelia Earhart and Biblical first lady Eve. Sparkling Stone says, "The wonderful thing about representing a diamond company is that you get to wear all of their diamonds!"

Cbs - Cbs Wanted To Replace Rather With Olbermann



Following their decision to oust Dan Rather as anchor of The CBS Evening News,
CBS News executives, including then CBS President Les Moonves and CBS News President
Andrew Heyward considered replacing him with Keith Olbermann, who currently hosts
Countdown on MSNBC, according to an article that will appear in the next issue
of The New Yorker. According to summaries of the article that were published
Sunday, Heyward initially objected to Olbermann's approach, which included a closing
three-minute commentary on the day's events. According to the New Yorker article
by Peter J. Boyer, which cited no sources for the meeting, Olbermann later met with
Heyward's successor, Sean McManus. No details about that meeting were included in
the magazine article.

The Austin, TX, alt-metal outfit Ünloco is comprised of Joey Duenas (vocals), Brian Arthur (guitar), Victor Escareno (basso), and Peter Navarette (drums). Together since summertime 2000, this Latin four-piece ab initio formed from the brainstorm of Duenas. Duenas, wHO is a big winnow of Goldfinger, was in quest of the band's autograph, simply slipped guitar player Charlie Paulson a rough demo cut of Ünloco's debut. The repose is history, for Ünloco inked a deal with Maverick and issued a self-titled debut in give 2001. The six-song EP Useless was noneffervescent a favorite and their gnarling rap-rock level-headed was heavy among gigs with the Kottonmouth Kings, System of a Down, and Powermann 5000. Ünloco likewise made an appearance on the soundtrack to the 2000 Adam Sandler plastic film Little Nicky with their strain "Zippo."
