For a couple years now stores have been carrying both Blu-Ray and HD DVD disks. The manufacturers have been making both types of drives, and people buy both kinds.

However, Blu-Ray players are unable to play HD DVD’s, and HD DVD players can’t play Blu-Ray discs. At the end of the day, they both do the same thing by playing data on a HDTV. So what is the feud? Well, it’s a matter of who arrived first. Two companies developed and successfully marketed a working high definition delivery system. But, as we all know; only one will survive, and in the battle of Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD player computability, it seems Blu-Ray has won the fight.

The movie rental chains have decided on Blu-Ray as their HD disk of choice, and some electronics retailers are selling Blu-Ray players instead of HD DVD players.

However, that leaves a little bit of a dilemma. Thousands of people have already bought an HD DVD player, and some movies have come out on it already. Though as many newer movies may not be coming out on this format. Before you purchase, do some investigation at your retailers, what movies come out on blu-ray vs HD. What is the cost difference between the two types? Is your transition worth it?

Everyone loves a good celebrity gossip column from time to time, but many people can take what they read way too seriously. Tabloids are there for entertainment value and nothing more. The articles written in these gossip magazines and newspapers provide an escape from reality. Yes, celebrities are real people and have real lives, but the side of those lives we see in photographs and tabloids are fabricated and touched up to make it seem like something when it’s usually nothing. No wonder you see so many pictures of celebs attacking paparazzi photographers.

One of the most popular topics of conversation in the tabloids deals with celebrity marriages. Many celebrities who are married tend to have a spouse who is also a celebrity in some capacity. Brad and Angelina, Ben and Jennifer, Posh and Becks, etc etc etc. But there are plenty of celebrity marriages that have ended in divorce, some just hours after the ceremony. This begs the question: how real are these relationships? The rate of divorce among those who are famous is so much higher than your average American couple. So most of these marriages must be fake; they must be fabricated to gain publicity.

It must be wonderful to be a Los Angeles divorce lawyer. They probably get new celebrities as clients daily. And with so much money to throw around, given the millions they each make from one film alone, attorneys who deal with divorces in LA are probably breaking the bank. They don’t care whether it’s real or fake at all!
