The New Shutter Island Movie
Monday, August 24th, 2009The Great City of Sacramento
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009Sacramento is best known as the capitol of California and the home of the “Govonator” or action film mega star (and serial stripper gropper, if you believe the reports) Arnold (hey I never gropped no strippers) Schwarzenegger ( how do you spell that again?). But if you talk to MMA fans these days they are not talking about the guy who is know for saying “I’ll be back”. Instead they might be talking about the guy who says, “I want my belt back”. A real life gladiator that goes by the name of Urijah Faber. Faber was born and bread in Sacramento. He made a name for him self by fighting his way to the top (no pun intended). Urijah is all smiles and out of the ring and is a real down to earth guy that hasn’t let his ego get to his head. Sacramento’s real life home town hero held his belt as the featherweight champion of the world with the WEC. A not so popular man by the name of Mike Brown from Florida walked into the octagon in November of 2008 and knocked Faber out in the 1st round. Fans and press say it was the punch heard around the world and it meant Faber would give up his belt for the time being. Urijah recovered from the powerful blow Brown gave him in a matter of minutes and already had his mind set on getting his belt back and taking the championship back for himself and for his loyal fans around the world. Go to Sacramento Strippers if you are ever having a bachelors party.
On June 7th, 2009 Mike Brown will go into Urijah Faber’s back yard and defend his title for the featherweight championship fight of the world. 14,000 people will pack into the Arco Stadium in Sacramento, not to mention the millions watching the fight live on the VS channel to see if Mike Brown will continue to carry the title of CHAMP or if Faber will get his belt back.
Is Singer Rihanna A Bad Neighbor?
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009According to various mainstream media reports, the singer Rihanna is apparently a terrible neighbor 9if you believe the accusations) who could be headed to court because of the accusation.
All in all, a lawsuit has been filed by Rihanna’s long suffering neighbor Christian Moeller, who says that the twenty-one year old celebrity is hardly an ideal neighbor. He claims that vehicles visiting the singer park on his property, including a vehicle which is hired by her which sometimes waits for many hours. All of this has caused him to file the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against her as well as the owner of the home she rents. It sounds like living next to her is a real life nightmare, yikes!
The southern California home is rented by Rihanna and owned by one Stephen Yacobian, who recently remodeled it, which also eliminated any type of parking. This caused luxury vehicles to park on Moeller’s property for what he claims is hours at a time, this essentially turning his yard into Rihanna’s personal parking space, with vehicles using his driveway as a turn around spot.
In addition, his suit claims this is an invasion of his privacy and that he has a security camera installed to prove the trespass and invasion of privacy, among other claims. The singer is known for her flashy lifestyle and her artisan jewelry including cufflinks and sometimes leather jewelry.
For his part, Yacobian has publically said that his case is without merit, but did not elaborate until he speaks with his lawyer. There have been no comments from Rihanna’s representatives about the suit filed by Moeller.
Lindsay Lohan may be under Suspicion for Missing Jewelry
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009Get ready for some rather weird celebrity related news: According to various mainstream reports Lindsay Lohan is evidently wanted for questioning by the investigative unit Scotland Yard (which is somewhat similiar to our FBI, I suppose) of jolly old England following the mysterious disappearance of around a half million bucks in jewelry. The Investigators in question are trying to find her (to question her, not detain her, there is no warrent) after the jewelry was used in a photography session shoot for Elle Magazine with the actress. Following that particular session, the jeweler there apparently determined that the jewelry was missing. It should be noted that even if she is arrested for the crime, she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. All in all, the representatives for the magazine have stated they have no knowledge where the missing jewelry might be. It is also reported that Lohan’s representatives have not responded to the jeweler or to the magazine editors. At this specific time, it is not entirely clear if the missing items were leather, wood, copper or artisan jewelry. That being said, it could have even been cufflinks or some sort of contemporary jewelry we are talking about here.
In any event, it was almost certainly designer jewelry, I would be willing to bet, with that kind of cost.
As it stands now, it should be noted that the british agency has made pretty clear that the actress is only wanted for questioning, and that there are a number of various persons of interest who are on their radar screen. Scotland Yard generally has a well-earned reputation for being efficient and not jumping to wild conclusions. All in all, this is really not the only situation in which her name has been somehow connectedwith missing merchandise. For instance, the mega-star designer Louis Vitton ( anyone who has ever walked into a Nordstrum’s or Macy’s department store knows who this is) will not work with her anymore, following a specific incident in which samples of clothing were used for a photo sessions turned up lost or missing. Lohan according to a stylist’s assistant placed them in her handbag a number of times. I am not certain and she is presumed innocent for now but I wonder if we may have another Winona Ryder situation on our hands here. I believe that it is known as Kleptomania.

Of of the major classics to be identified with the island of Kauai, one of the most prominent was the 1964 production ‘South Pacific’ which coined the phrase ‘Bali Hai’ often used in the real estate scene when naming various developments and so forth.
It was filmed partially at the scenic Lumahai beach plus Kilauea town. along with the 60′s production ‘Blue Hawaii’ starring Elvis Presley, which was filmed partially at the scenic Hanalei Bay resort area on the north shore of Kauai and near the Wailua river over on the Eastern shore.
He stayed at the ‘Coco Palms’ resort in kapp which still stands today despite being heavily damaged in a recent hurricane. There is some of the best real estate in the world in that area, in my opinion.
The monster flick’King Kong’ (both the original and 1985 version starring Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges) was also filmed here also. You may also remember the 1992 dark comedy ‘Honeymoon in Vegas’ which headlined Nick Cage, Sarah Jessica Parker and James Caan. That one was filmed mainly
in Kapaa. and Hanalei. Other movies which have been filmed on Kauai include the dark comedy ‘Throw Momma from the Train’ starring Danny Devito, the kids and parents Rob Reiner comedy ‘North’ starring Bruce Willis and Dan Ackroyd, the 2002 adventure movie ‘Captain Nemo’, the Branden Fraser headlined live action cartoon ‘George of the Jungle’ filmed near Anahola, the world War 2 drama ‘Dragonfly’ starring Kevin Costner was filmed in Princeville and the 2003 action flick ‘Tears of the Sun’ headlined by Bruce Willis.
Other movies include the Peter Pan inspired 1992 pirates adventure tale ‘Hook’ starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts, the 1998 romance film ‘Six Days and seven Nights’ starring Harrison Ford and Anne Heche, the 60′s adventure film ‘Planet of the Apes starring Charlton Heston as well as the 1995 big budget disaster movie ‘Outbreak’ which starred Dustin Hoffman, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Donald Sutherland, among others in an ensemble cast. And let us not forget the recent war comedy blockbuster ‘Tropic Thunder’ which starred ben Stiller (who also lives on the island) plus Tom Cruise and ‘Iron Man’ star Robert Downey Jr….By the way if you are visiting the island and want to browse Kauai real estate then Sleeping Giant Realty may be just the firm for you.
