Katy Perry has put her stamp all over this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. With nine nominations total, her hit songs Firework, Teenage Dream, E.T. and Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) are expected to leave the California girl a big winner when the VMAs hit on August 28.
Born and raised in Santa Barbara, California, Katy Perry has been a force in music since she debuted her hit I Kissed a Girl, so it’s no wonder she’s the top girl on the MTV VMA nominee list.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Arnold Schwarzenegger’s youngest son is recovering in a hospital after a body-boarding accident at a Malibu beach.
A family statement issued Friday says Christopher Schwarzenegger “is a brave boy and is expected to make a full recovery.”
The statement called it “a very scary week.”
The teen suffered a collapsed lung and broken bones in the accident that took place “a few days ago.”
Two of his siblings tweeted about their 13-year-old brother: sister Katherine says “he’s a tough little guy and getting better” and brother Patrick says “keep praying.”
The statement thanked paramedics, lifeguards, doctors and hospital staff who have cared for the injured teen.
The statement was issued by the former California governor and Maria Shriver. T
At Comic-Con on Thursday, George R.R. Martin moderated a lively panel for Game of Thrones that included stars Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Jason Momoa, Emilia Clarke and the Emmy-nominated Peter Dinklage, along with producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
But the author was also put in the hot seat to discuss his fantasy novels that inspired the HBO series. He was asked to reassure fans that his epic series — which recently published its fifth volume — will not “do a Lost“-style ending that is unsatisfying and will wrap events up too neatly.

“I am concerned about the ending,” Martin told the audience that had gathered in the packed Ballroom 20.
Back when we were just writing swear words on our parent’s walls in crayon, MTV did provide us with some light musical relief. Alongside the mundane pop dross, there were some gems to be found. The programme most likely to fill you with a mix of Scandanavian indie and wobbly acid grooves was 120 Minutes. Only problem was that it was broadcast in the early hours of Sunday morning.
So for the insomniacs, 120 Minutes was a mix of uncommercial sounds and experimental videos that wouldn’t have been broadcast during the day. Jus
Kim Kardashian has launched a legal battle against the bosses of a popular clothing chain for using a look-a-like in their latest advertising campaign.
The reality TV star was not impressed when she saw the TV commercial for Old Navy, which featured brunette model Melissa Molinaro, who bears a striking similarity to Kardashian and was also named ‘Kim’ in the ad.
Her attorney, Gary Hecker, filed suit against the fashion firm on Wednesday, accusing the retailer of the “unauthorized use of Kardashian’s name, likeness, identity and persona”.
The star, who has her own clothing deal with rival store Sears, is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
It has long been thought that sticking to a ‘five-a-day’ veg and fruit regime is good for general health, but now evidence has emerged that vegetarians with a high intake of fibre are considerably less likely to suffer from common bowel disorder. The condition, also known as diverticular disease, occurs when pouches form in the colon. In severe cases, these can lead to blockages in the colon and, occasionally, death.
However, now a report in the British Medical Journal says that individuals with a high fibre content in their diet, such as vegetarians, can significantly lower their chances of developing common bowel disorder.
Dr Francesca Crowe headed up a team from the Cancer Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford on a long-term study of 47,033 individuals of which 15,459 were vegetarians.
