Television ICON Dies

Farrah Fawcett
1947 — 2009

Yesterday, June 25th, the world lost an incredible ICON. We started with the bad news of Farrah Fawcett, who had a long battle with cancer, inwhich she was determined not to give up. The poster girl became an instant pop ICON after appearing on TV show, Charlie's Angels, for only one season..

"Her final gruelling performance — filming her failing battle with cancer in the television specialFarrah’s Story — was her idea, and her commitment.
That it was watched, when broadcast last month, by more than nine million Americans was proof at last that the poster girl was no more, and that Farrah Fawcett was finally, and briefly, seen."

After having lunch with Warren Buffet are you willing to pick up the tab?

No One Does it Bigger Than Oprah

All of the 1,700 people employed by Oprah are happy is an understatement. If you haven't heard, Oprah recently celebrated her 55th birthday in Barcelona, Spain, with (yup) 1,700 of her employees and their families (Now I'm a big fan of Diddy and Meech, but I don't think they do it that big). All of her privileged guests were able to spend three days in the city, then set off for a ten-day Mediterranean cruise aboard the Norwegian Gem Liner, that navigated to Italy, Turkey, Greece, and Malta. Astonishingly the massive ship has a total of eleven bars and lounges; twelve restaurants; a pool, hot tubs, a beauty salon, spa, casino, cigar club, library and even a bowling alley. Oprah only managed to spend $5,400 on each of her lucky guests.
