Obama checking out the . . .

One news report says that the media is being manipulative about this photo.

I disagree! Obama was doing his best NOT to look but he was glancing - I'm SURE of it:)

He has fallen a long way from his former job on Wall St. Mark is beyond misogynistic, with an unapologetic hatred for women. He doesn’t see them as women, more as objects for his amusement, using rape and violence as ways to punish them. At first he proclaims his innocence with bravado, but when our detectives have indisputable evidence, he sings about all his many brutal crimes without remorse or shame. Jail seems too good a deal for this criminal, so when he falls to his death no one sheds too many tears. (GUEST STAR)

Hargitay, Meloni returning to 'SVU'
Stars ink new deals for procedural's 11th season
By Nellie Andreeva

June 29, 2009
"Law & Order: SVU" will return with its two stars on board.

After on-again, off-again negotiations, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni have inked new deals to continue on the crime procedural, which is coming back in the fall for its 11th season.

Additionally, Christine Lahti has signed on to play the assistant district attorney on the veteran series for the first four episodes. Stephanie March will return after that to reprise her role as ADA Alexandra Cabot.

Sources said Hargitay and Meloni, who regularly negotiate their contracts together, have inked one-year deals with an option for a second year.

Despite the conglomerates and particularly NBC Universal being in cost-cutting mode, Hargitay and Meloni are said to have boosted their most recent salaries of about $385,000 an episode. In a rare feat for show talent, they have been able to negotiate a piece of "SVU's" lucrative back end, sources said.

Taking all into account, Hargitay's and Meloni's paychecks are expected to grow to more than $400,000 an episode, solidifying Hargitay's position as the highest-paid woman in television and Meloni as one of the top male earners.

All parties involved declined Monday to comment on the terms of the agreement.

Hargitay and Meloni's deals come more than a month after NBC closed a deal with Wolf Films for "SVU's" renewal. At the time, NBC brass said the show would return with or without its stars as the networks and reps for the actors had reached an impasse.

The two sides resumed talks at the beginning of June and, after a series of sessions, the deals were finalized last week.

Crime procedurals are more resilient than character dramas in replacing leads, but losing both Hargitay and Meloni, considered the heart of the show, was a potential big blow to "SVU."

Hargitay is repped by Paradigm. Meloni is repped by Gersh.

$1,468.80 CELL PHONE BILL IS BS!!! VERIZON IS ABOUT TO GET KICKED TO THE CURB BY ME!!!


Verizon is about to lose my business. They are refusing to credit my account for an over-billing of my data plan!!! The data plan was accidentally dropped and they do not want to back date the bill to include all the previous month's charges in the $29.99 unlimited package which I currently have. My contract expires with Verizon at the beginning of August. If they don't reverse these charges - AT&T and the iPhone are just a few weeks away!!!
