Bradley Cooper Addiction

Bradley Cooper Addiction, Bradley Cooper is one of Hollywood's most sought-after men these days, but in the early aughts, he was a struggling young actor with a supporting, role opposite Jennifer Garner on ABC spy show Alias. "I would only work three days a week," the American Hustle star, 38, tells the January issue of GQ of his role as Will Tippin, the sweet, clueless roommate of secret spy Sydney Bristow (Garner) on the series. Things went downhill for Cooper after the show's 2001 premiere as his character was given less and less screen time. "And then for the second season, I got even more sidelined. I was like, 'Ugh.'"

Continues the Oscar nominee: "And then next thing you know, I was like, 'I want to f---ing kill myself.'" Ambitious but dissatisfied, Cooper took the drastic step of asking series creator and director J.J. Abrams to write him off of the show -- even though he had zero job prospects at the time. "J.J. was like, 'Okay.' He probably would've fired me, anyway."

Making matters worse for the future A-lister at the time: A serious struggle with drugs and alcohol. "If I continued it, I was really going to sabotage my whole life," he observes.

"I think work was getting f---ed up," Cooper explains. "The one thing that I've learned in life is the best thing I can do is embrace who I am and then do that to the fullest extent, and then whatever happens, happens. The more steps I do to not do that, the farther I am away from fulfilling any potential I would have . . .Yes, of course it hindered the work."

Morton Apologizes

Morton Apologizes, A Morton's Steakhouse in downtown Nashville has been forced to apologize after one of its waitresses demanded that a man battling cancer remove his hat while at the restaurant.

Over the weekend, Robert Chambers took his employees to the steakhouse for a holiday dinner.  As the group of 14 settled up the $2000 tab, Chambers, who is undergoing chemotherapy, was told he was not allowed to wear a beanie to cover his head because it violated the restaurant's dress code, reports Fox affiliate WZTV.  Chambers says he wore the hat to prevent from getting cold, a side effect of his treatment.

Chambers says he was approached by a manager who told him he should bring a doctor's note or call ahead so that he could be seated in a private dining area.

Witnesses say Chambers took off the hat, but his coworkers quickly came to his defense. Ultimately the police were called in to deal with the dinner party.

Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron confirmed that at about 9:30 p.m., a manager flagged down two police officers and asked them to help get a group to leave the restaurant, reports the Tennessean.

The incident naturally created a firestorm on social media.

"I will never step foot in this establishment along with everyone else who was a part of our party.  And we will spread the word of this terrible treatment until an apology is received.  Unacceptable to say the least," one witness named Ashly posted on Yelp.

Meanwhile, Morton's went into crisis control. Late Monday, COO Tim Whitlock personally reached out to Chambers apologize. "There was a complete and total misunderstanding by our staff who had no idea that our guest had a medical condition.  Our actions were uninformed and our intentions were not malicious."

Chambers later posted on his Facebook page accepting Whitlock's apology.

"He was very apologetic and we had a good discussion. End result, Morton's will make a donation in the amount of our check to St Jude's Children's Hospital. Apology accepted time (to) be on. I have more important things to fight than Morton's."

Selleck Daughter Model

Selleck Daughter Model, Hannah Selleck, The 25 Year-Old Model - Most people haven’t heard of Reviver or Hannah Selleck, the daughter of Tom Selleck. However, more Americans might recognize her and the so-called clothing deodorant brand. Selleck recently starred in a modeling shoot for the company, and the photos are turning plenty of heads. It’s hard to say whether Selleck or Reviver will receive the most publicity out of these photos.

Hannah, a professional horse show jumper prepping for trials for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, leapt at the chance to represent Reviver’s innovative deodorant for clothes offering.

“I … spend a lot of my time at the barn with my horses,” says Selleck, who gamely posed with all sorts of stinky objects like a trash bin, gym equipment, and a full mouth of steak for the shoot. “When I found out about Reviver — it was amazing. Now I use it every day after leaving the barn to ensure that my clothes smell fresh.”

Currently, Tom Selleck’s daughter is currently 25 years-old, and this photo shoot is her first endeavor as a model. Outside of modeling, Hannah is a well-known equestrian with plans to participate in the 2016 Olympics. Her father is best known for playing the lead role in the television series Magnum, P.I. from 1980 to 1988. At this point, it’s unlikely that her fame will surpass her father’s notoriety.

Kardashian Giant Christmas Tree

Kardashian Giant Christmas Tree
Kardashian Giant Christmas Tree, The Jenner-Kardashians really, really love Christmas. From their E! holiday special to their high-fashion Christmas card, it's clear the reality TV family likes to celebrate in style. But on Dec. 15, Kendall Jenner snapped a picture of their greatest display of holiday spirit yet -- the giant family tree.

"coming home to this… not too shabby," she captioned the picture of the enormous tree, which resides in the family's foyer in their Calabasas, Calif. home.

Decorated with white lights and plenty of ornaments, the tree reaches up to the ceiling, with both sides of the elaborate staircases framing it.

Kendall, 18, was coming home from a trip to London, which she also documented on her Instagram account. The model is casually dating One Directioner Harry Styles, which could account for her trip across the pond, but she didn't reference the British babe on social media while abroad.

Earlier this month, the Kardashian family released their highly-anticipated Christmas card, which ended up being their most high fashion, abstract shot yet.

Taken by celeb photographer David LaChapelle, the card featured the Kardashian and Jenner women (plus Bruce Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian's children Mason and Penelope) standing on top of a pile of magazines while spread across the room in various positions.

Not too shabby, indeed, Kendall!

Styles Kendall

Styles Kendall, Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner were spotted leaving the the Gansevoort Hotel together in New York City on Saturday, Dec. 7

Not dating? Harry Styles may have previously denied that he's dating Kendall Jenner, but the two were spotted together on Saturday, Dec. 7. The boy bander and model/reality star were photographed leaving the Gansevoort Hotel, exiting through The Chester restaurant in New York City.

Styles, 19, and Jenner, 18, tried to keep a low profile in the Meatpacking district while exiting the building to grab breakfast, but didn't have such luck. The One Direction singer immediately was swarmed by a group of young fans as security tried to escort him out. Styles wore a peacoat, bandana and sunglasses.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, meanwhile, got caught up in the frenzy as she walked a few feet away from the singer. Appearing to be a bit startled by the commotion, she donned tight-fitting jeans, a white shirt, a green jacket, and kept her brunette locks down. She also slung a Louis Vuitton bag over her right shoulder.

Rumors first swirled of a possible romance when Styles and Kendall were spotted on a dinner date together in West Hollywood on Nov. 20. Three days later, Piers Morgan asked the rocker if he was dating Kris Jenner's daughter during One Direction's 1D Day event. "We just went out to dinner so no…I guess. I don't know," Styles replied.

Though the two only briefly hugged at the 2013 American Music Awards on Nov. 24, they've since shared yet another bite to eat on the West coast. On Nov. 25, the singer was spotted leaving Bruce Jenner's Malibu home at 9:30 a.m. Two hours later, the pair met up for lunch at Soho House in West Hollywood.

Man Dons Pink Tutu

Man Dons Pink Tutu, Wearing just a pink tutu and letting it all hang out, Bob Carey has been snapped gallivanting around the world. Dressed as a giant (and hairy) ballerina Mr Carey has bravely ventured out into public in his fluffy tutu more than 100 times in the name of charity.

His whacky photos have seen him take on the bustling Times Square, packed subways and even a field full of cows. 'The only time a cop said anything to me was when I got close to the horses. He asked, ‘You got anything on under there?’ I showed him my pink shorts and he said, ‘Okay, just wanted to check.’ Mr Carey told the Daily News.

Linda’s aggressive cancer went into remission after her first treatments, then came back in December 2006. She’s still in chemotherapy.

Mr Carey He’s set up a website, thetutuproject.com, to generate  donations to produce funds to cover the cost of his book which he hopes will become a funding source for charities for years to come.

He said another benefit is that the book will give breast cancer patients a story of hope.

'My wife really wants to inspire other women,' he told the Daily News.

'She’s been doing this for eight and a half years now. She’s really a miracle.'

Megyn Kelly Santa

Megyn Kelly Santa, Megyn Kelly has learned two things after being called out for declaring that Santa Claus “just is” a white man: ”Race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country, and Fox News — and yours truly — are big targets for many people.” (Yikes, what a terrible jerk this woman is.)

Kelly devoted an entire segment during her Friday show to defending her dismissive and racist comments, and accused those who criticized her of “race-baiting.”

“Outraged? Well, [the response] would be funny if it were not so telling about our society, in particular the knee-jerk instinct by so many to race-bait, and to assume the worst in people, especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News Channel,” she said. (Yikes, what a terrible jerk this woman is.)

Challenging racism is not “race-baiting,” it is challenging racism. Kelly’s comments weren’t “tongue-in-cheek” or humorous, they were a hostile dismissal of millions of American families with holiday experiences and traditions that do not fall in line with her definition of the “real” Santa or the “real” Christmas — both of which, according to Kelly, require total whiteness to be authentic.

Nasa Ozone Hole

Nasa Ozone Hole, View the latest status of the ozone layer over the Antarctic, with a focus on the ozone hole. Satellite instruments monitor the ozone layer, and we use their data to create the images that depict the amount of ozone.

What is ozone?

Ozone is a colorless gas. Chemically, ozone is very active; it reacts readily with a great many other substances. Near the Earth’s surface, those reactions cause rubber to crack, hurt plant life, and damage people’s lung tissues. But ozone also absorbs harmful components of sunlight, known as “ultraviolet B”, or “UV-B”. High above the surface, above even the weather systems, a tenuous layer of ozone gas absorbs UV-B, protecting living things below.

What is a Dobson Unit?

The Dobson Unit (DU) is the unit of measure for total ozone. If you were to take all the ozone in a column of air stretching from the surface of the earth to space, and bring all that ozone to standard temperature (0 °Celsius) and pressure (1013.25 millibars, or one atmosphere, or “atm”), the column would be about 0.3 centimeters thick. Thus, the total ozone would be 0.3 atm-cm. To make the units easier to work with, the “Dobson Unit” is defined to be 0.001 atm-cm. Our 0.3 atm-cm would be 300 DU.

What is the ozone hole?

Each year for the past few decades during the Southern Hemisphere spring, chemical reactions involving chlorine and bromine cause ozone in the southern polar region to be destroyed rapidly and severely. This depleted region is known as the “ozone hole”.

The area of the ozone hole is determined from a map of total column ozone. It is calculated from the area on the Earth that is enclosed by a line with a constant value of 220 Dobson Units. The value of 220 Dobson Units is chosen since total ozone values of less than 220 Dobson Units were not found in the historic observations over Antarctica prior to 1979. Also, from direct measurements over Antarctica, a column ozone level of less than 220 Dobson Units is a result of the ozone loss from chlorine and bromine compounds.
