Vanessa Williams just tweeted this picture from the set of “Desperate Housewives” as they film for the last few days.
“Quiet moment of contemplation on set – 3 more shooting days 2 go! Soaking in every moment! :)”
Four years ago Barack Obama promised to make college more affordable.
As president he doubled funding for Pell Grants, reduced student loan payments for millions of borrowers, and capped federal loan repayments at 10% of income.
By cutting out the banks as middlemen which cost the government money, tens of billions of dollars was saved which can now lower interest rates for student loans and make more Pell Grants available.
And it didn’t cost the American taxpayer anything.
Just saying…
This year, Chris Hemsworth will open two summer blockbusters: reprising the thunder god in Whedon’s The Avengers — alongside a dizzying cast of costars (such as Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, and Chris Evans) — and starring in a darkly gothic fairytale retelling, Snow White and the Huntsman.
Chris talks about the movies and his ascension to the Hollywood elite in a new interview with OUT Magazine.
Oh, and he took some new pics too 🙂
The Campaign to Protect All NC Families has released two new ads opposing North Carolina’s Amendment One, which would ban not just same-sex marriage, but civil unions and domestic partnerships as well.
In the first, “Melissa,” a mother expresses her concern for her child’s health insurance, a possible consequence of invalidated domestic partnerships.
The second ad features the testimony of a victim of domestic abuse whose protection order could be rescinded by the amendment because she was not married to her partner.
Opponents of Amendment One, say their campaign is “winnable,” but they need people around the country to focus on the May 8 vote. For more info on how you can help go to http://www.protectncfamilies.org/

From Olivia’s recent book signing in London for her cookbook “LivWise.” All proceeds of the book go to help build the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
I am always fascinated by the flashes of the photographers. I don’t know why. I also think it’s funny how they yell at celebrities.
I do laugh when Olivia tries to stop them, say “I’ll start over here and work my way across” so they all can have a direct shot, and then they just do what they were doing anyway. Take charge Miss Olivia!
Gayest thing I’ve seen in a long time. But fun 🙂
From the South African-based juice Company, LiquiFruit.
L.A. Times: “Forget that Roslyn Kind is Barbra Streisand’s kid sister. She’s too good and too special to have to worry about comparisons…”
The London Times: “To say she is superb would be an understatement.”
The New York Post: “She’s so good on so many levels; it’s difficult to categorize her. This elegant, beautiful, petite, dynamo delight rules the stage with a royal command that demands adoration from every seat in the house.”
In addition to her work on stage and in the studio, Roslyn also takes pride in her work for various animal welfare, Alzheimer’s and AIDS related charitable organizations including HSUS, APLA and Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS.
Roslyn will be performing in concert at the Brooklyn Center for the Performing Arts Saturday April 28th. More info at RoslynKind.com
