OK! magazine, April 2008:
“It looked like Britney had lost 15 pounds in four weeks,” a source close to the singer tells OK!. And sure enough — gone was the bloat, the ratty hair and the puffy face. In their place, a slimmer, fresh-faced girl with a smile on her face and determination in her step.
So how did she do it? “Britney’s a pro at losing weight fast,” a Spears pal tells OK!. “She can drop seven to 10 pounds in two weeks.” Although now, in Britney’s case, it’s about adopting a longterm plan she can stick to.
That long-term diet plan? A time machine plus a scruples-free photo editor! Here’s Brit-Brit in a 2003 Glamour photo shoot:

Ted Turner, in the middle of a Global Warming rant on last night’s Charlie Rose — in which he reveals that if you live to see 2048, it will only be because you’ve resorted to cannibalism — explained why the world he has spent his whole life trying to buy up will soon end:
TED TURNER: …We’ve got to stop doing the suicidal two things, which are hanging on to our nuclear weapons and after that we’ve got to stabilize the population. When I was born–
CHARLIE ROSE: So what’s wrong with the population?
TURNER: We’re too many people. That’s why we have global warming. We have global warming because too many people are using too much stuff. If there were less people, they’d be using less stuff.
So, to Turner’s five offspring, Laura, Robert Edward IV, Rhett, Beauregard, and Jennie, and to their children: This is all your fault!

According to the Silicon Alley Insider, a French software company called Pointdev is suing Sony BMG for using pirated Pointdev software on their servers. Not only could this be a costly mistake, but it’s doubly embarrassing because in 2005, Sony BMG put out CDs that secretly installed intrusive, system-hogging “rootkit” software when played on a computer. Why? To try to keep people from pirating their products! Sony recalled the CDs (and finally, just this past week, put out a list of the ones affected) and have been hit with numerous lawsuits over it. They finally agreed to reimburse any customer whose computer was damaged by the rootkit, up to $150 each.
And now Poindev is asking for $475,000 in damages, which is probably less harmful to Sony than yet another public-relations disaster over a piracy issue. Looks like the only thing anybody involved has learned is that there’s just no reason to buy CDs anymore. Oh, and that payback’s a bitch, matey. Ahrrrrr!
