Lil Wayne appears for DNA hearing in NYC gun case!

Lil Wayne is appearing in a Manhattan courtroom, but DNA science is taking center stage.

A hearing on a DNA profiling technique used in the rapper's 2007 gun-possession case started Wednesday. It concerns a process used for identifying people from tiny amounts of DNA — including some that prosecutors say ties the Grammy Award-winner to a gun found on his tour bus after a concert.
The 27-year-old has pleaded not guilty. He faces at least 3 1/2 years in prison if convicted.
The hearing aims to establish whether what's known as low copy number DNA profiling has general scientific acceptance.
Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter, won last year's best rap solo performance Grammy for "A Milli." His albums include "Tha Carter," "Tha Carter II" and "Tha Carter III."

Mixing Online Social Networking With Work.. Should You Do It?

Social networking isn't really news, but its use in the workplace is.

According to a new survey of human resources professionals by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the nation's first outplacement consulting organization, 59% of companies don't have a formal policy in place regarding the use of social networking sites, such as MySpace and Facebook, at the office, perhaps because nearly half of those polled said surfing these sites isn't a problem as long as employees are completing their work.
John A. Challenger, chief executive officer of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, reflects, "Employers face the challenge of maintaining a productive workplace while allowing their employees access to sites that facilitate communication with a variety of resources. More companies will be forced to address the issue as the number of workers using these sites continues to grow."
While perception is generally positive, a third of those surveyed indicated that social networking sites are a "major drain on worker output." Nearly a quarter of companies reported blocking access to the sites entirely, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
How can social networkers handle this technology at the office? Read on for five tips from career experts.

1. Use It
Nicholas Aretakis, author of "No More Ramen: The 20-Something's Real World Survival Guide," says, "I think it's a huge tool! I try to convey to recent graduates that employers actually want people who have the ability to market and sell through these massive networking sites. Whether it's used to launch an album, promote a book, or sell another product, it's valuable to have these large distribution lists, to get invited to join groups, to find out what's hot and what's not."
Daisy Swan, a career strategist, of Daisy Swan and Associates, concurs, "In terms of networking and finding out about career paths and to get a sense of different kinds of people and professional opportunities, I think it's fantastic. I'm all for the social networking sites because I believe there's so much you can learn; and if you want to be accessible to headhunters, it's great."

2. But Don't Abuse It
Social networking is a good thing -- but too much of any good thing can sometimes be bad. Experts caution workers to exercise restraint when accessing these sites at the office. Says Swan, "As an employer, I'd be incredibly disappointed if an employee were keeping a running tab on his whereabouts throughout the workday on any site. My perspective on that is that it's like taking personal calls all day long."
Aretakis advises, "Adhere to the protocol within your employer. If there isn't one, just utilize it as you'd utilize your email or browsing the Net. If you're on for a short time, it's probably fine, but if you're spending more than half an hour of business time on social networking, it's probably not a good idea." Swan adds, "For someone who's in marketing, if it's part of your job, if you're in business strategy, and it behooves you to be on it, then you can justify it. If not, keep it to a minimum."

3. Once You're a Professional, Keep It Professional
A lot of MySpace and Facebook users first created their profiles when they were students. And many of those students are now prospective employees. Edit out casual or crass content from your profile so that you come across as a professional. Swan warns, "Always be aware that any social networking profile you're putting out there should be employer worthy. Make certain you have a respectable page because these are used as references for anybody to look at. That's what employers are looking at."
Author Aretakis agrees, "It's prudent to be on these sites, but I think new job seekers need to exercise discretion. Instead of calling themselves 'hotsexybabe' or the like, they may want to adopt a more neutral handle and image."

4. Be Aware of the Company You Keep
Fair or not, we're often judged by the people with whom we associate. Use caution when "friending" folks. Don't do so indiscriminately or you may wind up just a few clicks away from shady characters that can undermine your professional reputation.
Swan, whose practice is based in Los Angeles, also urges social networkers to be careful about the groups they join. "If you're going to get involved with groups, those affiliations can be public. People can learn a lot -- or speculate a lot -- about you through the groups you join." If you want to control your image, she suggests managing your privacy options within each online network you join.

5. Watch What You Say
Because no privacy option seems unhackable these days, you should always err on the side of caution when posting anything to your personal profiles. Counsels Swan, "You need to know what you're putting out there in terms of your messaging. Anything you wouldn't want everyone to hear you say? Don't put it on there."
Aretakis shares the sentiment, adding, "Don't put anything in writing that you wouldn't want the people in HR read. Even something said in jest could get you fired."

Beer Pong feared to spread Swine Flu..

Beer pong feared to spread swine flu!
Popular drinking games may highten H1N1 risk..

College drinking games are now being looked at for their potential to spread swine flu. Beer Pong is getting the most scrutiny. It's an extremely popular college drinking game that's played with two teams. Each team tries to make the other team drink all their cups of beer by throwing a ping pong ball into the other teams cups. When one team sinks a ball, a member of the opposite team has to drink the whole cup of beer. UMass Amherst officials told 22News that the game has been banned on campus since 2006. But, that didn't stop students we spoke with from playing it. Rick Yennaeo, a Senior at UMass Amherst, said "It was introduced to me my first year in college if not before then. It's everywhere on campus. It's everywhere in the country." But beer pong is also an easy way to get sick. The ball is often handled by multiple people. Oftentimes, it falls on the floor. When it falls nicely into a cup, all those germs go into the beer and into your body. Luke Basler, a junior at UMass Amherst, told 22News that "We decided to have all the cups filled with water and then you have your beer on the side in a can that you hold. If the cup makes it into the water, you have to drink the equal amount out of your can." He says this reduces your chances of getting sick. The problem is that not everyone plays this way. Since Beer Pong has 830,663 fans on Facebook, you can bet that germs are being spread with each winning cup.

Bram Stoker's own blood runs through the veins of a sequel to his 1897 novel "Dracula

Bram Stoker's own blood runs through the veins of a sequel to his 1897 novel "Dracula," which goes on worldwide release this month, in a work penned by his great-grandnephew who is hoping to revive the original vampire myth.

"Dracula: The Un-Dead", which runs to almost 500 pages, is the fruit of an unlikely six-year collaboration between Canadian Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt, a New York screenwriter enamoured of vampires.
"When people think of Dracula they think of handsome Bela Lugosi," said Holt, 39, wearing a T-shirt featuring the 1920s Hungarian actor who played him in the first Broadway production of Stoker's book, as well as in the 1931 movie.
"Dracula was nothing like that. He was old and hunched over, had hair on his palms, and bad breath," Holt told AFP.
"He was out of the grave, he smelt like death," adds 51-year-old Stoker, a former teacher. "We're going back to the original characters."
It was Holt -- whose passion for all things vampire stems from Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 "Dracula" movie -- who initially came up with the idea of a sequel to the Irish writer's 19th century work.
In search of ideas, he stalked descendants of Transylvanian-born Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, better known as "Vlad The Impaler," toured Europe on the vampire's tracks, met with scholars, and joined the Transylvanian Society of Dracula.
In 2003, he came up with the idea of getting backing for a sequel from the Stoker family, who had lost the rights to it early in the 20th century.
And Dacre, one of a score of close family scattered across Britain, Ireland, Canada and the United States, signed on. "He had Bram's genes and the name," said Holt.
From then on, the two worked together, studying notes left for the original work by Bram Stoker, writing the plot and building characters.
"We go back to the original but we don't leave it at that," Stoker said.
The sequel is set in 1912, 25 years after the finale of the first epistolary novel, as a series of chilling murders in London and Paris triggers a vampire hunt across Europe and unleashes terror of "the prince of darkness."
After careful analysis of 19th century notes left by Stoker, a theatre director who minutely researched background for the original novel, the two revived one of the old characters and added in a few, including a Scotland Yard detective and a lesbian vampire countess.
More significantly, perhaps, Dacre Stoker also opted to throw his ancestor into the novel.
Why create a Bram Stoker character? "He was misunderstood, mysterious, no one knows why he wrote Dracula," his great grand-nephew said. "He died without knowing the success of his iconic character. His life was a struggle."
Talks are under way to produce a movie version of the book, though the authors refused to say who with.
But if they have their say, Johnny Depp could play Dracula and alongside Catherine Zeta-Jones as the blood-sucking lesbian countess.

NFL Skit Takes Aim At Jessica Simpson's Weight

Jessica Simpson is once again under fire for her physique. But this time, it's not from the tabloids - it's from the NFL.

In a new short cut which aired during "FOX NFL Sunday" on October 11, sponsored by Burger King, cartoon versions of Tony Romo's teammates and coach take turns taking shots at the quarterback's ex-girlfriend.
"Man, I still can't believe Tony dated Jessica Simpson, even after she blew up bigger than Flozell Adams!" an animated version of Cowboys running back Marion Barber says, referring to offensive lineman Adams, who is 6'7" and 338 pounds.
A caricature of Cowboys tight end Jason Witten then chimes in with another jab at the pop star.
"Unlike Tony, at least Jessica comes up big when it counts!" the cartoon character said.
A cartoon of Cowboys coach also jumps in on the act, suggesting Jessica could suit up for the team.
"Say Tony, is Jessica around? We could use a defensive tackle!" the character says, referring to a position that typically tips the scales at over 300 pounds.

A spokesperson for FOX issued an apology on Wednesday over the skit.
"Burger King Corp. did not have any editorial input in the creation of the animation that ran last Sunday, and no one from Burger King Corp. approved it before it aired. Upon reflection, our poor attempt at humor was insensitive and we deeply apologize to anyone who might have been offended," the statement issued to US WEEKLY said.
When contacted by Access Hollywood, reps for Jessica and the NFL were not immediately available for comment.
But on Wednesday evening, Jessica herself chimed in via her Twitter account.
"i will never understand why people attack for a laugh," she Tweeted. "own your beauty and don't listen to the judgement."

-Elvis items to be auctioned-

The King may be dead, but that doesn't mean it's too late to run your fingers through his hair. Elvis Presley's hair, at least a clump of hair that Presley may have lost to an Army barber when he went into the service back in 1958, is going on the auction block this Sunday at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Chicago.
The hair is part of a collection of more than 200 items that belonged to or are associated with Presley. There are clothes he wore, scarves he threw to screaming fans — who judging by the yellow sweat stains, never washed them — and Christmas cards he sent. And there are lots of records, some he kept in his own juke box, and other sorts of memorabilia ranging from Elvis dolls to Elvis wrist watches to Elvis Pez dispensers.
All the items belonged to Gary Pepper. No Hound Dog, Pepper was not only a huge Presley fan and president of a Presley fan club, but a close friend, as many of the photographs of the two together suggest.
Pepper, who had cerebral palsy, died in 1980, three years after Presley, and left his collection to his nurse, and that is who is putting the items up for auction, said Mary Williams, of the auction house.
But it is clearly the hair that has generated the most buzz.
Like a lot of the items in Pepper's collection, the hair was a gift from Presley to Pepper, who in turn sent a strand or two to appreciative Presley fans from time to time but didn't come close to exhausting his supply.
She said Pepper died without telling anyone exactly where the hair came from or when it was cut, but she said it appears that it was clipped during Presley's stint in the Army or around that time.
Williams did acknowledge that there has never been a DNA test done on the hair. But, she said, the auction house did take it to "somewhat of a hair authenticator" who compared it to his own sample of Presley's hair and concluded it was the real deal.
"I'm very careful with the hair I authenticate," said John Reznikoff. A Connecticut collector of such mundane items as stamps and documents, Reznikoff also has samples of hair that once sat atop some of the most famous heads in history, from George Washington to Abraham Lincoln, Napoleon, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe. He even says he has some of Michael Jackson's hair that was famously singed during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984.
"I have a high resolution scan and I took mine (Presley hair sample) out and the coarseness and color of it, they all match," he said.
"I did say short of a DNA test proving otherwise," he explained.
What that kind of testing means to collectors remains to be seen. But while the hair as it's displayed on white tissue paper may just look somewhat like the aerial view of Moe Howard, it could be worth a lot of money.
Williams said she doesn't know what to expect, saying that the best estimate is that the hair is worth $8,000-$12,000. But, she quickly added, a few years back some of Presley's hair that had been collected by his barber was put up for bid and sold for $115,000.
"The industry of hair collecting has blown up," she said.
So, who would want it?
"There's an interest in owning a piece of a celebrity," she said.
Or perhaps make one of your own.
"There's a possibility that people think you could clone people from hair," she said.

Lil Wayne To MTV, "Gucci Mane Was On The List & Eminem Wasn't?"

Lil Wayne has become the latest artist to share a surprised reaction to Eminem not being placed on MTV's popular "Hottest in the Game" listing and losing out to Rick Ross, Fabolous and Raekwon.
In addition to Em, Weezy also reacted to Jay-Z No. 1 spot.

"LIL WAYNE SAID"

"Uhm, who's number one?," Wayne asked radio personality Tim Westwood in an interview. "Jay-Z? Nah, that's cool [me being at number two.] That's cool. That's okay, I thought Drake was gonna be number one. Eminem [is not on the list]? Who else is on the list? Gucci who? Gucci Mane? Gucci Mane was on the list and Eminem wasn't on it? [laughs] Shout-out my n*gga Gucci. [laughs]"

Writing via a blog posting last week, Jermaine Dupri shared his issues with this year's grouping.

"WHATS UP LIFERS HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!," he wrote today (October 9). "TODAYS QUESTION IS ABOUT THE MTV HOT MCs LIST. MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT EMINEM NOT MAKING IT? I PERSONALLY THINK THE LIST JUST LOST ITS CREDIBILITY BY NOT INCLUDING HIM. NOT ONLY DID HE MAKE A ALBUM THIS YEAR BUT THAT ALBUM OUT SOLD 75 PERCENT OF EVERYBODY ON THE LIST .SERGE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE LIST AND WHY THIS HAPPENED BUT TO ME THIS IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE KEEP SAYING HIPHOP IS DEAD. WE HAVE NO RULES AND THE FIRST RULE SHOULD BE, UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE RECORD BUSINESS (KEY WORD BUSINESS) THE END RESULT IS TO SELL RECORDS NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. IN THESE BAD TIMES OF THE RECORD INDUSTRY HE SHOULD'VE MADE IT FOR THAT FACT ALONE THAT HE STILL HAD THE POWER TO MOVE 600K RECORD HIS FIRST WEEK. ANYWAY YALL ALWAYS ASKING HOW I FEEL SO THERE YOU HAVE IT LOL!!!!! TALK TO ME!!!"

Despite landing the number one spot, Jay-Z also wondered why Slim Shady was not listed.

"MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation," he wrote in a statement. "Although I don't strive to be 'hot' for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term 'best rapper alive' as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I've allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that's why I continue to push myself until exhaustion ... salute. Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may ... Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don't thoroughly explain his omission. As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best 'posse' cut of the year . (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift ... and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)"

MTV has issued a response to the public's reaction toward Em's absence from the list.

Eminem's ranking was one of the most discussed topics at the Roundtable. His hotly anticipated return to hip-hop after a long absence drove first week sales of over 600,000 - the highest first-week of the year so far. He granted a handful of select interviews here and abroad, and was part of a massive moment with Sacha Baron Cohen at the MTV Movie Awards. But then Em retreated to the lab, where he spent the summer crafting Relapse 2. From June to September, Em all-but took himself out of the public eye, while other MCs generated week-to-week heat with mixtapes, guest appearances, performances and Web activity.

"EMINEMS RESPONSE"

I dont give a sh*t what list I'm on.. Im just doing this for the Music!

Fans check in for 'Couples Retreat' with $35.3M

"Swingers" co-stars Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau buddied up for the weekend's top movie as "Couples Retreat" debuted with $35.3 million, while the micro-budgeted fright flick "Paranormal Activity" leaped into the top 10.

Shot for a reported $15,000, "Paranormal Activity" came in at No. 5 with $7.1 million as distributor Paramount expanded it into daylong release after two weeks of midnight-only screenings.
"Paranormal Activity" played in narrow release of just 160 cinemas, a fraction of the theater count for other top movies. It averaged a whopping $44,163 a theater, compared with $11,780 in 3,000 theaters for "Couples Retreat."
"You almost do a double take when you look at that theater count for a movie in the top five," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "That's amazing. That's unprecedented."
"Couples Retreat" exceeded expectations for distributor Universal Pictures, which had hoped the movie would top the $20 million range. The solid opening came just days after Universal replaced top managers Marc Shmuger and David Linde with Adam Fogelson and Donna Langley, who were promoted from other jobs within the studio.
The management shake-up followed a summer of slim pickings at the box office for Universal, which released the Will Ferrell dud "Land of the Lost" and such commercial underachievers as Adam Sandler's "Funny People" and Jennifer Aniston's "Love Happens."
"I feel pretty good today. Happy to have a hit," said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal. "It happened at the right time, because it did lift our spirits, having the summer we had."
Along with Vaughn and Favreau, whose collaborations include last year's holiday hit "Four Christmases," "Couples Retreat" features Jason Bateman, Kristin Davis, Kristen Stewart and Malin Akerman in a tale of friends at an island therapy resort.
"Paranormal Activity" was acquired by former Paramount partner DreamWorks at 2007's Slamdance Film Festival with the idea that writer-director Oren Peli would re-shoot it on a bigger budget.
But after audiences responded well to a test screening, Paramount decided to sneak "Paranormal Activity" out in a manner befitting its raw, independent roots. The studio began two weekends ago with midnight screenings in 13 cities, the movie building buzz online much as "The Blair Witch Project" did 10 years ago.
Like "Blair Witch," "Paranormal Activity" is fiction shot in documentary style as a young man tries to record strange doings and apparitions in the house he shares with his girlfriend.
Fans talked it up on Twitter and Facebook, while the movie expanded to more cities based on which markets received the most requests to see it on a Web site Paramount set up. This past weekend's 46 markets were heavy on big cities, but mid-sized cities such as Norfolk, Va., also made the cut as fans there voted to bring the movie.
"We all spend a lot of time talking about Facebook and Twitter and our ability to communicate. Here's a case where it allows people to rally around a movie they care about and for them to have a sense of participation, then tell other people, 'Hey, this is something you should see, too,'" said Rob Moore, Paramount vice chairman.
According to Paramount, "Paranormal Activity" had a record weekend for a movie playing in fewer than 200 theaters, surpassing the $3.7 million haul for "Platoon" in 174 theaters early in its run in 1987. Factoring in today's higher prices for movie tickets, which average nearly twice as much as in 1987, "Paranormal Activity" sold about the same number of tickets as "Platoon."
Including its take from midnight screenings the previous two weeks, "Paranormal Activity" has grossed $8.3 million. Paramount plans to expand it to several hundred more theaters next weekend, again adding new markets based on where it gets the most requests.
Sony's "Zombieland," the No. 1 movie the previous weekend, slipped to second place with $15 million, raising its total to $47.8 million.
In limited release, the acclaimed British drama "An Education" opened strongly with $162,381 in four theaters for an average of $40,595 a cinema. The film stars Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard and Alfred Molina in the story of a 1960s teen whose route to an Oxford education is sidetracked by an affair with an older man.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "Couples Retreat," $35.3 million.
2. "Zombieland," $15 million.
3. "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," $12 million.
4. "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" in 3-D, $7.7 million.
5. "Paranormal Activity," $7.1 million.
6. "Surrogates," $4.1 million.
7. "The Invention of Lying," $3.4 million.
8. "Whip It," $2.8 million.
9. "Capitalism: A Love Story," $2.7 million.
10. "Fame," $2.6 million.

"Kate Gosselin Attacks Jon's Loaded Wallet"

-Jon Gosselin Droped By Divorce Lawyer-

Philadelphia-based lawyer Mark Momjian told Radar Online this weekend that he believes Jon Gosselin has money coming from sources other than the TLC network.
According to court documents, TLC stopped paying the Kate and Jon Gosselin when shooting was halted on "Jon & Kate Plus 8" two weeks ago.
"We can't specifically verify whether he is getting paid but we think he is. The only person that can answer that is Jon Gosselin. We suspect he is though," Momjian told the Web site.
Momjian has filed court motions for alimony and child support for Kate Gosselin. Those motions, along with a demand for Jon Gosselin to return $230,000 in cash, will be heard Tuesday in a Norristown, Pa., court room.
Momjian didn't say where his client was getting money from. But Jon Gosselin has been making promotional appearances, and was a guest last week on two entertainment TV shows. TMZ.com also reports that lawyer Mark Jay Heller may not be able to represent Jon Gosselin at the hearing, after Heller's sponsoring lawyer retracted his endorsement of Heller.
Heller is not licensed in the state of Pennsylvania and needs a registered lawyer to vouch for him.
In May, Jon Gosselin joked with the media he would never get divorced because he would need to pay child support for eight children. Judge Arthur Tilson also will issue a ruling a contempt motion against Jon Gosselin in Montgomery County Family Court. Jon Gosselin’s lawyers filed their own counterclaim last Tuesday in the same court. Last weekend, Kate Gosselin’s lawyers claimed that Jon Gosselin emptied $230,000 from a money-market account, leaving Kate unable to pay the family’s bills. Her lawyers filed a motion on Monday for the money to be returned and for Jon Gosselin to face the contempt charge. The reality TV dad and his lawyer went on the offensive Monday night, claiming that Kate Gosselin didn’t account for a large amount of money to Judge Tilson.

With Kanye West nowhere to be found, T.I. scores wins from prison at BET Hip-Hop Awards

T.I. didn't need to attend the BET Hip-Hop Awards to win two trophies on Saturday.

The rapper, who is locked up in an Arkansas penitentiary on a federal weapons conviction, won the best collaboration award with Rhianna for the song "Live Your Life" and the album of the year award for "Paper Trail." His fiancee Tameka "Tiny" Cottle accepted his awards at the ceremony in Atlanta and read a letter by the rapper, who began serving a yearlong sentence in late May.
"Although I'm not there with you all, I'm there in spirit," Cottle quoted the rapper as writing. "My road to redemption is almost over. ... Thanks for the support."
Jay-Z was honored as the "MVP of the Year," while Drake took home "Rookie of the Year," and Ice Cube received the "I Am Hip-Hop" icon award.
Ice Cube said he was humbled by the award, and he believes his career as filmmaker could earn him more honors in the future. He helped launch the gangsta rap genre with the group NWA, and he starred in "Barbershop" and "Friday," which he also co-wrote.
"When you get recognized by your peers for a life of work, you got to be humbled," the rap veteran said. "I'm honored by this. I have 20 more years of work left in me. I hope (BET) is ready to give out two of these awards."
Rapper Busta Rhymes presented the award for "DJ of the Year" to DJ AM, the celebrity spinner who died of an accidental drug overdose in August.
Kanye West, meanwhile, couldn't hijack the stage, because the rapper was a no-show. West had been expected to attend the fourth annual awards show. He fell under scrutiny for interrupting Taylor Swift's award-winning moment at last month's MTV Video Music Awards.
Jay-Z took the stage with Young Jeezy to perform "Real as It Gets" and rap group Goodie Mob performed its 1995 song "Cell Therapy"

MySpace Spammer Brings in Over $1 Million a Year is Finally Taken Down!

Culprit was winning about $1 million per year via Internet business

MySpace has just shown that it really takes care of its registered users. Recently, they rooted out a spammer by suing him in court. The MySpace people filed a lawsuit against spammer Sanford Wallace
that was using MySpace for his own financial purposes. What he did was send a lot of messages to MySpace users, trying to manipulate them into navigating to one of his sites. As I've read on cnet News, Wallace was doing business as FreeVegasClubs and RealVegasSins, both dot com registered websites, as well as Feeble Minded Production. Now, what he did was huge - he had a scheme that enabled him to avoid the site's registration protocol. MySpace has a rule that you can only have one ID per e-mail address. But Wallace didn't even try to hack the website or anything like it. Nope, he just went and created over 11.000 unique e-mail addresses (using AOL services) and then created an account for almost each one of them. Since the numbers are huge, he did not do all by himself, he had a bot doing it instead.

After the accounts had been created, they started spamming other users. He also used phishing methods to get other MySpace users' IDs and passwords and then had their accounts spammed all day long as well. As seen on cnet, the culprit had posted 890.000 comments, sent nearly 400.000 messages and hacked 320.000 MySpace accounts. The numbers are huge and now this spammer has been taken down, fact which comes as a relief to MySpace which had stopped its users from being spammed like this. Wallace has been forbidden by court decision to access or use the MySpace website to transmit ANY electronic messages. The court has also taken more decisions against the spammer, though cnet reports that MySpace did not obtain all the damages it wanted.

NEW SOUTH PARK HAS MICHAEL JACKSON IN PURGATORY!

Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny in the gleefully offensive South Park !

US cartoon comedy South Park has started its new series in typically offensive style – by showing Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Patrick Swayze in purgatory.

“I See Dead Celebrities” is the first episode of the long-running show’s 13th season.
Its creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are no strangers to controversy – one episode, “Trapped In The Closet”, which hinted that Tom Cruise was gay, was pulled by the studio, reportedly after complaints from the actor.

Similarly, an episode from the 12th series which showed Steven Spielberg and George Lucas raping Indiana Jones – Stone and Parker’s way of saying they were unimpressed with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – caused uproar in Hollywood.
Nonetheless, some commentators are saying that the new episode is a “new low”.
“It's not only tasteless but this episode just adds to the sadness currently experienced by all the mourning relatives,” says Sue Bergerstein, an arts and celebrity writer on Examiner, a US magazine.
The show depicts many of the celebrities who died over the summer – Jackson, Fawcett, and Swayze, as well as Billy Mays, David Carradine, Walter Cronkite and others – trapped outside heaven.
The characters Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny have to help them after the ghost of Jackson possesses Kyle’s little brother Ike and forces them to take him to a child beauty pageant.
Not everyone is as shocked as Miss Bergerstein. Blogger Ken Tucker at Entertainment Weekly's Watching TV says the show is not mocking the dead, but “the endlessly haunting media coverage of them; excessive piety; and crass exploitation.”
“Am I a bad person for finding it so funny?” he asks.

Playboy turning cover over to Marge Simpson!

Marge is about to do something Homer might not approve of.

Playboy magazine is turning over its cover to the matriarch of Springfield's first family: Marge Simpson.
It's a first for the magazine, which has had everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Cindy Crawford to the Girls of Hooters and even the likes of Jerry Seinfeld on the cover. But it's never had a cartoon character before.
Marge and her pile of bright blue hair are set to grace the cover of the November issue of Playboy. It will hit the newsstands October 16.
Marge isn't going to bare all, though, as the magazine says there will only be "implied nudity" in the 3-page pictorial.
New CEO Scott Flanders says the idea is to attract readers in their 20s to a magazine where the average reader's age is 35.

FACT or FICTION? End Of The World 2012

Point of No Return

On Earth, a major earthquake will open up a deep hole in the Yucatan peninsula. Expeditions into this hole, miles deep, will find the remnants of an ancient civilization several millions of years old. This civilization will be known as the Rupturians.With the technological advances of the Rupturians, we will build Inter Galactic Teleportation Chambers, which we will use to colonize seven planets in the galaxy Ptolomeo Dual Spiral, in the direction of the constellation Pisces. Over a period of 54 years, we will teleport 800 million people to these colonies…But, unexpectedly, without knowing neither the medium nor the cause, people in the colonies will get their DNA archetypes out of control and will become deformed physically, emotionally and mentally. The only salvation will be to transplant their souls into younger bodies, which will be created in lab environments.To carry out Human salvage activities, the Human Survival Authority will establish the Microbial Deputies Force (MDF). The Microbial Deputies will wear a special uniform that uses the most advanced Rupturian technology. Wearing this uniform, there are no arms, tanks, airplanes, or war artifacts of any kind, either on Earth or in the colonies, that can harm a Microbial Deputy. And equally, there are no arms, tanks, airplanes, or any war artifacts that can resist their destructive powers. They will be invincible. But… what would happen if members of a bioterrorist organization infiltrate into the Microbial Deputies Force?

P.S... According the the TimeWave Zero theory of Terrance McKenna, Oct 7th begins the freefall into “novelty”, or radical changes, ending in “total novelty”, which represents a reality totally different from this one. According to the chart below, this precipitous drop into a radical rate of change lasts for about two months, so Oct and Nov promise to deliver us into a radical reality, where it will stay, and get even more “novel” until the Final Novelty of 2012.
p.s. Terrance McKenna said TimeWave Zero was the ONLY original idea he ever had!! This coming from one of the most fertile and brilliant minds in the world, ever.

Time is a fractal wave composed of cycles. we are at the end of a major cycle right now that will end in 21/12/2012 at 11:11 AM. According to the timewave theory, oct 7 marks our plunge into a free fall toward 2012. after oct 7 there is no return.

The Barack Obama Assassination Poll On Facebook -

Opinion: Facebook reacted well to an Obama assassination poll, but responsibility questions remain!

Not content with more conventional ways of expressing disapproval, an unidentified Facebook user recently posted a poll asking whether President Obama should be assassinated. The poll was outrageous, and Facebook forced its removal even before the Secret Service called.
The inflammatory poll, created over the weekend with an application available to any Facebook user, offered four possible answers to the question "Should Obama be killed?": yes, maybe, "if he cuts my healthcare" and no.
Originally published on the application developer's Facebook page, it spread as voters notified their networks of friends about it. Users also could complain about the poll through links provided by Facebook and the developer, a start-up called Advanced Alien Technology.
A Facebook spokesman said the company received the first objection early Monday, and the poll came down shortly thereafter.
The poll is especially disturbing in light of the sharp increase in reported threats to the president's life. A new book estimates that Obama receives 30 a day, a 400 percent increase over President George W. Bush. Heated rhetoric is a staple of political discourse, but death threats whether real or insinuated are not.
It's appropriate for Facebook to give users the tools to police themselves. It's also incumbent on the company to make sure application developers do the same, and Facebook appears to have done that.
At the same time, however, Facebook gives developers the ability to collect a stunning amount of information about the people who use their applications. Facebook should do a better job of teaching users how to guard their privacy against the risks posed even by seemingly innocuous applications.

Say Goodbye To Social Networks! Oh Crap..

The air seems to be coming out of the Web 2.0 bubble, squeezed by the economic downturn and the absence of many solid short-term business plans.

Dire market conditions have forced virtually all social-networking firms to scale back. In October, Hi5, the third most popular social-networking site, announced that it would cut between 10 percent and 15 percent of its staff. And in November, the business-focused networking sites LinkedIn and Jive said that they would slash their work forces by 10 percent and 40 percent, respectively.
The dominant social-networking sites are certainly better equipped to weather the storm: MySpace and Facebook have estimated revenues of $750 million and $300 million, respectively, while LinkedIn is expected to pull in between $75 million and $100 million this year. However, the overall value of these companies is still largely based on growth potential, which now seems shaky. Microsoft's investment in Facebook valued the company at a massive $15 billion. But in November, Twitter refused to be bought by Facebook for a reported $500 million of its stocks plus some cash.

The last week has also seen the demise of two prominent (and promising) Web startups: Pownce and Values of n.
Pownce, which offered a microblogging and file-sharing platform, was acquired by the blog software company Six Apart, while Values of n, which produces organizational and social-networking tools including Stikkit and I Want Sandy, was sold to Twitter.

Both new owners promptly announced that they would shut the original services down, suggesting that their acquisitions were more about acquiring talent and technology than about investing in viable new businesses.
Chris Alden, chairman and CEO of Six Apart, says that there simply isn't enough capital in the current market to sustain so many social-networking companies. "You'll see more consolidation in the next year or two," he said.
The current situation might seem gloomy, but the first signs of a coming shakeout appeared before the market took a turn for the worse. In August, for example, both the social-news site Thoof and the social music site Social.fm ceased operating. Also, long before the downturn began, investors started raising concerns about how social media firms might make money.

"People don't really know how this is going to work," said Nicholas Economides, a professor of economics at New York University's Stern School of Business.
Companies are trying many different approaches, but he says that a solid business model for social networking has yet to emerge. "There's no formula for success," he said. Even Twitter, for all its notoriety, has virtually no revenues.

Charlene Li, founder of the social media consultancy Altimeter Group, based in San Mateo, Calif., says that it makes sense for smaller companies like Pownce and Values of n to be gobbled up by bigger players.
"These companies had really interesting features and services that are much stronger being part of an existing service that has a lot of people using it," Li said.
Alden declined to say which aspects of Pownce's technology are most interesting to Six Apart, but he agrees with Li that many Web startups are largely focused around one good idea.
"It's not always easy to convert that into a vibrant, self-sustaining company," he said. "When economic times are good, you have a longer runway to make that happen. When times get tougher, it dramatically decreases."

It's hard not to compare the current shakeout with the dot-com bust of 2000, but those within the industry dismiss the comparison. "That burst with a thunderclap; this'll burst with a pop," said Paul Gillin, a social media strategist based in Framingham, Mass. He believes that this will be a less violent contraction cycle, less intense than that suffered, for example, by personal-computer makers during the 1980s.
At least there has not been the same profligate investing that there was during the dot-com days. There is no counterpart to the excesses of investors who put $830 million into Webvan or $280 million into Kozmo.com.
Six Apart's Alden argues that consolidation is in the nature of the startup business. He can speak from experience: His own startup, Rojo, was acquired by Six Apart in 2006. Alden also argues that no one should confuse companies shutting down or being acquired with a lack of interest in social media.
"With the Web 2.0 or social media trend, we're still seeing very, very strong activity and behavioral trends," he said.

Xbox 360 Achievements - Or is it?

"Achievement" becomes a marketing tool for Xbox game sales.

I can't recall my reaction when Microsoft introduced Achievements alongside the Xbox 360, but I definitely didn't expect them to have such a profound impact on the games industry. Now, one game developer says that Achievements, particularly the easy ones, can drive game sales.
Speaking to Official Xbox Magazine, Gearbox's Randy Pitchford said there's a subset of gamers who base their purchasing decisions on a game's Achievement per minute ratio. "He's playing a lot," Pitchford said. "So he's a very frequent customer, and you want to be in that pile. That's just business."

(For more Xbox coverage see PC World's Game On blog)
Achievements are the new-age embodiment of the high score, rewarding players for their in-game accomplishments with a universal point system. Having a lot of points, or a high Gamerscore, as it's called, means you play a lot of games with at least a modicum of skill.
After Microsoft popularized the idea, Sony duplicated it with Playstation 3 trophies, and so did Valve on its Steam PC gaming platform. Entire sites exist for the purpose of documenting achievements, and at least one person is building a reputation for hunting down the most points. There's a game that mocks the obsession, and heck, at times my inner Atari gamer prods me to play on a harder difficulty, just to get the most points.



I'm skeptical of Pitchford's claim that Achievement hunters are a lucrative demographic, because they're probably more inclined to rent a game and mine its points than to buy it outright. But I'm uncomfortable with his suggestion that game designers are "the worst" (emphasis his) at coming up with Achievement criteria - and therefore driving sales. I'm not sure who else he has in mind, but the last thing game design needs is more influence from the business side.



After all, one of my greatest Achievement-related pleasures was playing through Mirror's Edge without ever shooting an enemy, and I wouldn't have been compelled to do so without the "Test of Faith" Achievement. I'm guessing the developers were behind that one, as it emphasized the game's flight-over-fight mechanics. That achievement felt good, and I wouldn't want it compromised just to pawn off a few more sales on people who care about nothing but easy points.

MatchMaker.com VS Yahoo Personals

MatchMaker.com provides a diverse variety of city-centric and lifestyle specific communities for quality singles to find and connect with each another. MatchMaker.com has been in the business of matchmaking since 1985 and have over 8 million members to date. The popularity and services provided by Match Maker has recently been recognized by Forbes magazine as one of Forbes’ “Best of the Web” picks.
While it may be a great choice for Forbes magazine, you’ll need to decide if Match Maker is right for you. We’ll highlight some of Match Maker’s useful features as well as point out a few things for you to consider, so you can make the educated decision.
One of Match Maker’s slogans, “by the time you meet, you know”, is very fitting because this singles site is known to have the most in-depth profiles on the web. To get in on the action, follow our link and start filling out your own in-depth profile.
As a new member to Match Maker, you’ll have over 20 opportunities to provide brief answers or long-winded essays to questions. Answering them is optional so you’ll have to decide how much or how little to reveal. But this is also your first opportunity to either impress them with your intellect or keep the mystery going with good short answers that leads to other questions. There will also be multiple-choice questions on things such as your hairstyle, your lifestyle, and so on.
Even though we stated that it is optional to answer the essay questions, it may still discourage some singles from signing up. On the other hand, the power of having comprehensive personal ads is an excellent way to gain insight and gauge the compatibleness of a person’s shared interests and key values. This may potentially help in quickly weeding out the wrong profiles from the truly interesting profiles.
Speaking of profiles, here are a couple of things you can do to improve your MatchMaker.com profile. First on the list is the Match Maker’s voice greeting feature. It spices up the profile by allowing you to express your true personality. Another great way to snazz up a profile is to include photos. Did you know that profiles with photos get 8 times more emails? Did you also know that you could reply to emails for free? With some effort on your part, you will be well on your way to potentially meeting many fun and exciting singles in the various Match Maker communities. Diverse communities exist including New York City, Toronto, Berlin, Christian, Jewish, Big & Beautiful, Alternative, Nudist, and many more.
One drawback of Match Maker is they carry banner advertisements. Luckily, there is only one banner and it only resides on your homepage. Beyond that, MatchMaker is really user-friendly. There is a navigation toolbar on top of every page allowing for easy access to where you may want to go. On your homepage, you can quickly view statistical information like the number of times your profile has been looked at, the number of times your photos have been viewed, and the number of matchmaker.com members whose gender and sexual preference match what you are looking for.
Surely everyone is familiar with the term “You’ve Got Mail” coined by AOL. Matchmaker’s version of that is a blinking mail icon inside the navigation toolbar. It’s really hard to miss. To top it off, MatchMaker has made it easier for you to read messages from other members. Along with the message, you’ll also have easy access to the sender’s profile and photo. How’s that for ease of use?
To browse for profiles, you’ll need to use Match Maker’s various search tools. There is the basic search where you can specify gender, location, age, and last visited. We found the last visited information to be quite useful because it gives a good indication on how frequently members visited the MatchMaker.com site. You tend to get better responses (or a quicker response) from a member that visits the MatchMaker.com regularly versus one that visits only once every so often.
MatchMaker also recently added a new feature called matchmarkers. Matchmarkers are useful icons that will help you quickly identify every member who shares your interests, values and passions. Lastly, even though Match Maker does not currently provide keyword searches, they do have advance searches. There are over 35 specific characteristics that can be searched on. Just remember, basic searches will generally return quite a few more profiles than advanced searches. So broaden your horizons with basic searches or zone in on great matches with Match Maker’s advance search tool.
Lastly, to enjoy the full benefits at MatchMaker.com, you’ll need to become a paying subscriber. Subscribers have unlimited access to the most in-depth profiles on the web. MatchMaker.com Subscribers can initiate emails with other members to say hello. See somebody online and can’t wait to talk with them? Well, only subscribers can exchange instant messages with one another.
In addition, MatchMaker.com is currently offering a free 5-day full access trial! Cancel within the 5 days and pay nothing. If you decide to stay, then you’ll just pay a monthly fee for your chance to make love happen.

"Xbox 360" Facebook & Twitter Beta Live in October..

Ready for Facebook and Twitter updates from millions of Xbox 360s? The beta leads off "middle-towards-end of October," according to Microsoft speaking to MTV.
Microsoft's Larry Hryb recently wrote that the late September Xbox 360 system update was "[in] preparation for additional system enhancements (Facebook/Twitter/Last.FM) that will arrive later this year."

I'm seeing a few places (okay, actually just The Guardian) angling this as a "do you really want it?" story. Facebook for the 360's not full-featured, for starters. You'll be able to rifle through friends lists and see which ones have Xbox LIVE gamertag's cross-linked. If you want to invite them over, you can do that, too. But you won't be able to mess with videos or Facebook games and applications, and unless you have a USB keyboard, you'll have to text with a gamepad, something I've always disliked.

What does the Xbox 360 offer in the way of services or accessibility that your computer doesn't--and far more elegantly--already? Can't think of anything. I'll dink around with the beta when it hits, but don't imagine it'll supplant my preference for typing long (or even short) form on a computer or mobile phone. If I find myself inclined to chirp about something clever (or odious) in whatever game I'm playing, I'd rather do it reaching over to my laptop, not invoking the 360's sometimes sluggish dashboard.

The option to link Facebook friends lists with Xbox LIVE ones notwithstanding, I don't see much to get all that excited about. It's one more input for Facebook and Twitter missives that might make one-stop shoppers smile, but it's probably redundant for the rest of us--the ones who prefer texting from phones or computer keyboards over input-limited gamepads.

'Jon & Kate' Where's the rest of the money, Kate?

Kate appeared on NBC's Today for a Monday morning interview and alleged that Jon "took $230,000 of the $231,000 that we have liquid. I have a stack of bills in my purse I can't drop in the mail." "I have the accounting over the last few months and it's exactly $230,000 beginning on August 10 and his last withdrawal was September 29," she said.

More Jon & Kate Plus 8 News

During a Monday appearance on The Insider (watch a clip), Jon -- who previously stated the family was paid "maybe a million dollars" for Jon & Kate Plus 8 last year during an appearance on Larry King Live last Thursday -- said the family has netted about $2.25 million during the show's four years and added that he's withdrawn $177,500 from the couple's bank accounts over the course of the last year. Jon -- who was awkwardly accompanied by Mark Jay Heller, his recently-hired new divorce lawyer, on The Insider's discussion panel -- described it as his "paycheck" for the show. "I took it out in small increments. This is the first time in my life that I've taken money out of any account," he said on The Insider. "If you look over the course of my 10 years [married to Kate], I let her handle the banking and I never, ever took any money out of the account." In addition, Jon said he has a receipt that showed he withdrew $22,000 last Thursday -- not the alleged $230,000 he repeatedly claimed Kate has alleged but she does not appear to have actually publicly stated -- and told The Insider the family has 14 bank accounts.

When asked why they have so many accounts, Jon said it was because FDIC insurance only has a coverage limit of $250,000 so they needed to split up the funds. "I literally took my paycheck out of the bank account. I have a bank receipt for $22,000," he said. When The Insider panelist Niecy Nash asked how how all of the public arguments between himself and Kate will impact their eight children, Jon began to reiterate his previous statements that he had been "passive and an avoider" before being cut off by fellow guest panelist Nancy Grace. "Why is this always about you? Why are we talking about you?" asked Grace. "[Nash] asked you about your children." "Because he's an important part of his children's..." Heller -- who had previously attempted to jump to Jon's defense several times during panel disccusion -- began to respond before being interrupted by Grace. "Can he even speak without you piping in," she told Heller. "How's it always get back to you?" she asked Jon again. "I don't know," he sheepishly responded. "I guess you just needed insight."

Jon was also asked why he decided to live in New York City during the divorce proceedings while his kids continue to live in Wernersville, PA. "I have business in New York, I have contacts in New York," he explained. "I'm proceeding to do other career things. If I had to buy a hotel room, no one's flipping the bill for that. It's expensive enough. I have to move forward with my career to support my kids as well." Jon followed his The Insider appearance by going on Entertainment Tonight -- The Insider's sister show -- for an interview with anchor Mary Hart, where he reiterated he has proof that he only withdrew $22,000 and considers it to be his "paycheck." In additional, he also alleged that the couple has made at least a million dollars from Kate's book deals. "She claims that we don't have money? She has 11 other banks accounts. She made $1 million dollars off her book," he said on Entertainment Tonight. "Let me also say I pay $7,500 per month for the kids, utilities, two mortgages and everything else that needs to be paid. She's not even talking about that account." When asked about Kate's claims that he's making "erratic purchases," Jon declined to comment on what that might entail. "She doesn't know what I purchase. I'm not going to disclose what I purchased," he said. "I live in New York, my rent is $5,000 a month -- so right there there's $60,000 a year in rent." Jon also responded to questions about why he had his lawyers demand last Tuesday that TLC "cease and desist" any television production on his family's property or face potential criminal charges.

Jon claims filming Jon & Kate Plus 8 has become "detrimental" to his children. "I'm not the bad guy here. I'm the one trying to protect my children. That's called being a parent, I'm protecting my children," he said on Entertainment Tonight. "I need to pull them off of television so we can work this out. I don't care what TLC says, let them sue me [and] do whatever they got to do. Let them say I'm in breach of contract, they've said it before. I don't care. Kate plays to TLC. Kate's worried about the contract. Kate's worried about the money. Kate's worried about all the other stuff." Jon added he's making the media appearances so he can "defend" himself against Kate's claims he wiped out their bank account. "It's gotten so ridiculous and it's he said, she said," he explained. "Now she's thinking that the American public is going to believe her over me? I had to defend myself." In addition, Jon said his assertion that his kids "don't want to be filmed anymore is the truth." "You can go to past episodes where Mady is running away from the camera. They've come to me and said we just want a normal life," he explained. "Do you believe Kate's claims that kids were upset about filming stopping?" asked Hart. "No. You know why? Because when we told them we were going to get divorced the 5-year-olds said, 'What's for lunch?' and the only two people that really cared were Mady and Cara," said Jon. "Cara broke down and Mady was like, 'Oh, I saw this coming.'

You know what [Kate] probably said to them? She probably said, 'Daddy's put a halt to filming, you're friends are going to go away.' She probably worded it in a way that was a violation to them, their sense of security." While he has been claiming to speak for the kids recently, Jon also questioned how Kate could be doing the same. "How can she speak for the kids?" he asked. Jon also responded to Kate repeated comments that she still hopes the "old Jon" will eventually come back and call her one day, telling Hart she shouldn't hold her breath. "The old Jon is not coming back. She wants a slave," he said. "It wasn't a partnership." Jon also questioned the genuineness of the tears Kate has been crying. "I absolutely don't believe the tears," he said. "She can turn them on when she wants. She turned them on on Regis & Kelly, she turned them on the Today show twice, she's turned them on on Larry King, she's turned them on on television -- I've lived with her, I know her... Maybe you should put those tears away."

In addition, Jon claimed that he's been locked out of his bedroom at the family's Pennsylvania home where he and Kate take turns sharing custody of the children. "I came home one day and my contractor called me and goes, 'Sorry Jon, I had to put a deadbolt on the door,'" he explained. "I don't have key or access to that room. All the banking, financial, safe -- everything is in that room. My clothes are in that room. I just want access to that stuff." Jon's interview with Hart continued during Tuesday's Entertainment Tonight broadcast and once again began with Jon presenting "proof" he didn't withdraw the alleged $230,000. "She's making claims that she can't back up. If she said I took $230,000 where's the bank statement to prove it? I'm bringing you guys the bank statement saying I did not take $230,000. I took $22,000," said Jon before presenting a receipt that showed he had made a $22,000 withdrawal -- not an overall account statement. "I'm laying it out there today. I have nothing to hide." Jon admitted to making withdrawals from his "corporate account" before describing them. "I've made $177,500 worth of withdrawals this year -- first time ever," he said. "I haven't even taken 10% of my pay.

We've made $2,250,000 collectively and I've only taken $177,500 -- in the course of four and half years. Not in one day!" "The kids have money. The kids have money set aside for them," he added. "You have to understand TLC pays for everything. They pay for landscaping, they pay for craft services -- which in normal terms is a chef. Ironing, dry cleaning, wardrobe. All that other stuff." Hart asked if TLC follows through with his request and permanently halts production, will the kids then have enough money. "If the show ends there's enough money. There's enough money," he said. "I know there's enough money." Jon added he's simply following through on Kate's pleas for him to not be passive and instead take initiative. "She wants me to come back and do as I'm told and I want to be a man, I want to take initiative for myself," he said. "She asked me for 10 years to be a man, to take initiative for myself, to stop being an avoider, to stop being passive.

When I finally do those things, she's bashing me." Jon described the current conflict as "embarrassing" to his kids and said he instead wants to set a good example. "In the beginning when we did Jon & Kate Plus 8, we were role models as parents having eight kids. Now I think we should be role models as... we're still parents -- we're divorced parents, but I'm showing America how it works," he said. "I want to be an example for other fathers that, 'Hey, you don't have to listen to what the big guy says, you listen to your heart and do what's right.'" Jon said Kate could follow that advice as well. "She needs to break away from TLC, be her own person, speak from her heart," he said. "Be the kind person I know she can be and let's work this thing out." Not surprisingly, the interview returned to the issue of the money. "Where's the million dollars from the book? Where's the $1.25 million from the show?" he asked Kate as he looked into an Entertainment Tonight camera. "I know how much we paid for the house, I know how much the mortgage is,

I know all that stuff. Where's the rest of the money Kate? What'd you do with it? I mean I only took less than 10% -- less than 10% -- since March til now. Less than 10%. Where is the $2 million? Two million dollars!" Despite being passionate when asking Kate about the money's whereabouts, Jon said he's "not angry" because he has "all the proof." "You know I've been harboring all this stuff to save Kate the embarrassment," he explained. "Why would she go on national television, why would she call an emergency Today show appearance? Maybe she doesn't know that I have all the proof, I have no idea. But I have nothing to hold back, I'll produce everything you want me to produce." While he failed to produce additional evidence backing his claims concerning the money, Jon did claim to have evidence as to why his kids want to stop filming.

He referenced an incident in which the kids decided to go in the pool rather than continue being filmed playing backyard games during a 96-degree day as a "perfect example" that kids don't want to be filmed. "That's also a great example of kids being tired and wanting to do something else, which is a very typical reaction on a very hot day, but that doesn't mean they're miserable with every day of filming," replied Hart. "No, that does not mean that they're miserable every day of filming," said Jon before backtracking. "Maybe I made a mistake filming the show. I don't know. I didn't know then, it was four years ago. We needed money... Now it's gotten to the point where it's comfortable enough." Jon also said he's not worried Kate will receive sole custody of the kids. "It will never happen," he said. "I'm an on-the-task father when I'm there on custody." Jon returned to The Insider's studio panel for the show's Tuesday night broadcast -- this time sans his lawyer -- and relayed a "public message" to his kids after he was presented with a paparazzi photo of his son Colin being scolded by a nanny hired by Kate. "I really miss you guys. \

I really wish I could be there all the time and help out with all the work at home and take you to school like I used to," said Jon to his kids. "But I can't this time. I'm looking forward to coming home." Jon then presented his "proof" that he didn't withdraw $230,000 from the bank last week, presenting the same withdrawal receipt he had shown Entertainment Tonight. "I have to defend myself!" said an animated Jon. "To who?" asked The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel, another guest panelist on The Insider. "To Kate, to everyone!" he said. "I use the public to force her into mediation, to pull us off television, to pull my kids off television, so we can settle the divorce in private. Then she goes [and] hires another lawyer, goes on the Today show, accuses me of stealing money out of the bank. I mean I'm going to defend myself." Jon was then asked directly about the withdrawal statement for a "single transaction" and why he hasn't been able to produce an actual bank statement. "Because I have to go in person because [Kate] didn't sign-off on Internet banking," he replied. (http://bit.ly/20qxS1)
