Two arrested over murder of Facundo Cabral in Guatemala

Cabral, 74, who sang protest songs famous across Latin America and beyond and was a UN "peace messenger", was on his way to the airport to leave the country when his vehicle came under heavy fire on Saturday.
Two Guatemalans, Elgin Vargas and Wilfred Stokes, were arrested by police investigating the killing.
Cabral's music promoter Henry Farina, a Nicaraguan who owns a chain of strip clubs, was believed to be the target of the attack, according to Carlos Menocal, Guatemala's Interior Minister.
Farina, who was driving the car at the time of the shooting, was badly injured and remains in a critical condition in hospital.
"One (of the killers) is the head of a band of assassins," Attorney General Claudia Paz told reporters. "He put together this group to commit murders."
The two men were allegedly caught on tape by security cameras at Cabral's hotel and also along the highway on the way to the airport.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony: Anatomy of a Split

While a split in Hollywood (and other glamorous environs) never really qualifies as a cause for shock, Jennifer Lopez and her husband of seven years, Marc Anthony, appeared very much in love since the day she and Ben Affleck broke up.

Both acting and singing double threats with a shared Puerto Rican background, J.Lo and Marc seemed to be the perfect couple on the red carpet and off, their body language always affectionate and their outfits never clashing. They costarred in El Cantante together and collaborated on numerous musical projects, even announcing that they were expecting twins while onstage in Miami.

But today, the announcement wasn't a happy one, so we're taking a look back at how they got from A to Over.

REUTERS reports that the 32-year-old girlfriend of a prominent Arizona CEO who died Wednesday was discovered hanging naked from a balcony at his California home with a rope around her neck and her hands and feet bound, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Thursday.
Authorities identified the woman as Rebecca Nalepa and said an autopsy was being performed to determine the cause of death. The sheriff's department in Coronado, Calif., said they were not yet ready to call Nalepa's death a crime or a suicide, according to the Union-Tribune.
At the time of her death, Nalepa was dating Jonah Shacknai, the founder, chairman and CEO of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp., the manufacturer of the popular cosmetic wrinkle filler Restylane, a competitor of Botox.

Claudia_Jordan - GORGEOUS Model Busted for DUI -- The Sexy Footage

It might be the sexiest DUI arrest ever -- Claudia Jordan 's smokeshow friend BUSTED after sideswiping a parked car ... while driving a freaking DeLorean ... and itwas all caught on TAPE.
Law enforcement tells TMZ, model SueLyn Medeiros -- we strongly recommend Googling her -- was pulled over last night in Hollywood after colliding with a parked car, and when she opened her DeLorean's gull-wing door, cops caught a "strong odor" of alcohol.
Police administered a field sobriety test -- and Medeiros, who had been driving with Claudia in the car, laughs the entire way through, prancing around barefoot ... needless to say, cops weren't impressed.
Medeiros then blew a .14 -- nearly twice the legal limit in California -- and was placed under arrest.
According to law enforcement, Medeiros bragged incessantly about being a rich model, and was extremely flirtatious with the officers. Medeiros is still in custody on $45,000 bail.

MobileApps.com Wants To Be The Adsense For Mobile Apps

Many mobile app developers share a significant problem: getting their products discovered among the hundreds of thousands of apps i.e. the App Store or the Android Market currently boast. According to a recent report by Nielsen, just 58% of smartphone users actually usethe stores on their handsets to search for new apps.
Enter MobileApps.com , which officially launched today and describes itself as an advertising, discovery and distribution network with three distinct value propositions for end users, developers, and publishers.
For end users , the MobileApps.comserves as a destination that currently lists 500,000 apps (around 2,000 are hosted on the site) for iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and other platform in a collected setting (this so-called marketplace works much like GetJar and similar sites).
With every download, developers are pocketing 95% of the price in the case of non-Apple apps (MobileApps.comtakes the rest). Developers can import their ownapps from other stores to claim and publish them on the site “in 60 seconds”.
Probably the most interesting element of MobileApps.comis that it’s an advertising network for mobile apps: the site is offering “smart widgets” that showcase specific apps to publishers : website owners, for example, can incorporate those widgets into their pages and customize them (based on different countries, keywords, categories etc.).

Google AdSense co-founder Eytan Elbaz is announcing a round of funding from a group of all-star investors for his stealthy startup Scopely. Investors in the round (the amount of which was not disclosed) include Lerer Ventures, Greycroft Partners, Howard Lindzon, Terri Semel’s Windsor Media, David Cohen, Dave Tisch, Gil Elbaz, and Evan Rifkin.
For background, Elbaz co-founded Applied Semantics, which he sold to Google for $100 million in 2003. Applied Semantics ended up becoming Google AdSense, and Eytan stayed on as Head of Domain Channel for Google. He left Googlein 2007 to pursue other projects.
Eytan declined to reveal exact details on what Scopely will focus on, but said that the startup will disrupt the social space that is “ripe for innovation.” He says that social networks have grown up quickly and Scopely’s product, which is being programmed in Node.js, will play in this arena. He adds that online advertising will play a part in Scopely as well.
The angel investment will be used for product development and expanding the engineering team. Currently, the Scopely team includes 12 senior engineers and product managers from companies including Playdom, MindJolt, Warner Brothers, and Saatchi and Saatchi.

Snooki, Avril Lavigne 'Poof Wars' Heating Up

Watch out Snooki, you have competition...sort of! Punk rock princess Avril Lavigne showed up to film an interview with Extra on Tuesday (July 12) wearing a Jersey Shore inspired poof. The question is, did she pull it off?
For Avril's appearance at the Grove in Los Angeles, she definitely had the hair down. Of course the What The Hell singer was rocking her own fashion, t-shirt, skinny pants, etc, and not a Snooki-inspired get-up.
No, there was no short skirt, wooly boots, and low-cut blouse to show off her cleavage. Will Avril keep the poof? Who knows, but do not be surprised if the singer and the reality television star show up on a 'Who wore it better?' list. Check out the photos, here.
One thing that Snooki does have over Avril, however, is a book deal. She has reportedly inked a deal for her second novel. Lavigne should not be too jealous though, since she intends to launch a new line of clothing. Let the war begin!

iPhone App Makes Facebook Friends More Like Google+ Circles

A new iPhone app will organize your Facebook friends into groups for easier sharing with select people. Created by startup Katango, the app of the same name is an easy way to make Facebook friends work more like Google Circles, the friend-organizing tool built into the search giant's new social network, Google+.
Facebook has offered friend lists and groups for a while, of course, but few users actually create them. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg said at an event last week that only five percent of Facebook users organized their friends into subsets or create specific groups. Google+, on the other hand, holds its Google Circles feature—which lets you wall off specific friends in your network from others—as its primary differentiator from Facebook.
In either case, it's up to the user to make and create the various lists, an exercise in bookkeeping that may be the reason why so few Facebook users actually use the feature. Katango aims to take away the heavy lifting of going through contacts one by one to create groups, freeing up Facebook users to just sit back and share.
"It's not at all inspired by Google+," says Katango co-founder Yoav Shoham. "It was started a year ago. I have now maybe 350 friends on Facebook, and if I want to share a piece of news about Katango or a baby picture, neither one of those is appropriate to send to everybody. If I want to focus on particular people, I have no way of doing it—at least not an easy way."

Jaycee Dugard Explains Horrors of Kidnap Ordeal to ABC News

Jaycee Dugard, who was infamously kidnapped and held in captivity for 18 years, gave an insightful and emotional interview with ABC News on Sunday night.
During the interview, Dugard spoke in detail about her experiences during her kidnapping and testified she did what she had to do to survive the ordeal.
Dugard was 11 years old when she was kidnapped in 1991 from in front of her house in California by Phillip and Nancy Garrido. She was held for 18 years, over which time she gave birth to two children. She wasn’t found until 2009.
Now 31, Dugard told ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, “There's a switch that I had to shut off. Just went someplace else.”
She added, “I can't imagine being beaten to death, you know? And you can't imagine being kidnapped and raped, you know? So, it's just, you just do what you have to do to survive."
Dugard spoke bravely about how she was abducted, describing how she was on her way to school when she suddenly felt “tingly” and “numb” – she had been hit by Phillip’s stun-gun. Her abductors grabbed her and threw her into a car.
She explained how Phillip laughed as they drove away with her, telling his wife: “I can't believe we got away with it.”

Golf Channel u-turns on Woods' announcement

The Golf Channel has done a u-turn on a Twitter report after appearing to say that Tiger Woods would be making a "special announcement" on Monday morning.

The Golf Channel reported Monday that Woods' agent Mark Steinberg has joined Excel Sports Management, two months after leaving International Management Group. Steinberg has represented Woods since 1999.

The Golf Channel first reported the Woods' announcement Sunday night on its Twitter account, but it did not provide any details and a check on Monday morning showed the Golf Channel had removed the tweet from Twitter.

NBC Sports also reported late Sunday that "Woods will sit down with (anchor) Kelly Tilghman" to make the announcement.

The Golf Channel then posted a story on their website Monday morning saying Tilghman would be interviewing Woods' agent Steinberg "about his business endeavours" and "Woods would not be present during the interview."

Monica's wedding do-over: Singer marries Shannon Brown again

Singer Monica, who we will always associate with "The Boy Is Mine" despite her many other hits, married LA Laker Shannon Brown on Saturday... for the second time, People reports. The couple has actually been married since November, when they wed in a private, quiet ceremony at their house.
They met in June when Brown co-starred in Monica's "Love All Over Me" video, and Brown, who has one child from a previous relationship, proposed to Monica, who has two kids, by October.
This time, they went all-out for their big day, inviting hundreds of family and friends to a downtown LA cathedral. The guest list boasted LaLa Vazquez, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher. Guests enjoyed a sit-down, three-course meal and a blue and purple theme.

People with eating disorders likely to die earlier, study shows

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Anorexia increases apatient's risk of death fivefold, and people with bulimia or another nonspecified eating disorder also face an increased risk of death -- about twice as likely to die as people without those disorders, a study said.
The cause of deaths wasn't always clear, but among anorexics who died, one in five was a suicide. The other deaths were attributed to theeating disorders' brutal effects on the body over time, researchers wrote in Archives of General Psychiatry.
"Of course, eating disorders have serious physical consequences," said lead author Jon Arcelus, of Loughborough University in the UK.
"The study could not identify how people died, but there is no doubt that the reasons behind this are related to the physical problems of the illness," he told Reuters Health in an email.
His group carried out a meta-analysis of 36 studies published between 1966 and 2010, which included 17,000 people with an eating disorder of whom 755 died.

Pippa Middleton’s pics being used by pro-anorexia sites

Dangerous pro-anorexia websites have found a new 'thinspiration' in Pippa Middleton to target women and young girls.
The Duke of Cambridge's younger sister, Pippa Middleton, who caused a sensation with her rear view as bridesmaid at the Royal wedding in April, has become the latest celebrity targetfor the sites.
It comes just days after the Daily Star revealed Kate, 28, featured on pro-anorexic sites which urge women and young girls: "Starve yourself to look this good."
And it follows shock reports that a record number of patients were admitted to hospital last year with life-threatening eating disorders after a 10 per cent rise in cases.
Pictures of pretty Pippa, 27, wearing her bridesmaid dress appear on one of the websites under the shocking title: "Thin – or die trying.

Tiger Woods to make announcement on TV

Fourteen-time major champion Tiger Woods is set to make a "special announcement" Monday on the Golf Channel, but details on what he will be addressing are a mystery.
The 35-year-old announced last week that he was pulling out of this week's British Open as he continues to recover from knee and Achilles injuries, and the unknown nature of this latest address sparked speculation across the web that he would be taking an extended break from the game.
There was even some suggestion that he may retire, although Woods only said last week, "I think my best years are still ahead of me and I'm very confident and optimistic about the future."
Woods has been out of action since the middle of May after pulling out of the Players Championship with a mild medial collateral ligament sprain to his left knee and a mild strain to his left Achilles tendon, suffered while hitting a shot from under a tree at the Masters in April.
The three-time British Open champion said last week that he would be more careful and take his time in coming back this year so as to fully get over his injuries.

Victoria, David Beckham Name Daughter Harper Seven

David Beckham announced his facebook page:
"I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister."
David and Victoria Beckham welcome their first baby girl to their family
David and Victoria Beckham, who already have three sons, welcomed their first daughter into the world on Sunday morning, and have decided to name her Harper Seven Beckham.
David confirmed the news on his Facebook page, after he and wife Victoria welcomed the baby, who weighed 7lb 10oz, reports the Daily Mail.
The footballer wrote: "I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA.
"Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx".
The Seven in the name is believed to be a reference to David's football number when he played for Manchester United and England, while the Harper could be referring to Harper's Bazaar magazine or perhaps To Kill A Mockingbird author Harper Lee.
A close friend of the couple said: 'Harper is an old English name something Victoria has always liked. Seven is a very lucky happy number and the baby was born just after 7am, in the seventh month.'
The child was born by elected Caesarean, in the same way as her older children.
And a source told The Sun that David was so happy about the new arrival that he was literally crying with joy.
The insider said: "David has been crying with joy. They are all so happy."

CASEY ANTHONY MURDER DIARY "CONFESSION" REVEALED

Casey Anthony has "confessed" to killing her daughter Caylee, a source has exclusively told The ENQUIRER.

In a search of Casey's home, cops found a shocking "diary of death" in which the murder-mom basically admits to killing her angel-faced daughter, sources have told The ENQUIRER.

And the detailed handwritten diary written by Casey in the days immediately before and after the toddler's death is so damning that prosecutors could reconsider seeking the death penalty, sources told The ENQUIRER.

In the diary, sources tell The ENQUIRER, twisted Casey spelled out her evil intentions and said she planned to murder her daughter as a "mercy killing" to keep her out of the hands of her mother, Cindy. Police believe the night before Caylee died, Casey and her mother had a vicious fight, and Cindy swore that she would take the little girl away from Casey for good.

"Casey snapped," a source told The ENQUIRER. "In her sick mind, she became convinced that Caylee would be better off dead, in heaven, than in the hands of her mother."

Authorities recently released 650 pages of evidence, including one page of a diary in which Casey wrote: "I have no regrets, just a bit worried. I just want for everything to work out okay. I completely trust my own judgment. I know that I made the right decision."

Casey Anthony Facebook ‘Confession’ Scam

Casey Anthony, America’s most notorious pariah is being used as a Facebook scam, the warning from PC World:

If you see a post on Facebook about a Casey Anthony confession, or a link to download the video chat app, run away. These two new Facebook scams demonstrate why the social network is such fertile ground for attackers to target.

Malware attacks frequently use social engineering to spread and current events as bait. With the recent unveiling of Facebook’s partnership with Skype to deliver video chat from within the social network, and the public outrage over the acquittal of Casey Anthony, attackers have the key ingredients they need to dupe victims into installing malware.

Did Casey Anthony ‘confess’ to her attorneys?

The answer may lie in Jose Baez’ opening statement during the Casey Anthony trial, a claim made by Baez which should have raised red flags with the jury.

From Casey Anthony Trial: Defense Throws Casey’s Father Under the Bus:

Jose Baez:

‘On June 16th 2008, Casey was home with Caylee and so was her father. Early morning hours, the exact time is not known, it could have been Early afternoon, Early morning, actually it was Early morning hours, George Anthony approached Casey and starting yelling at her ‘Where’s Caylee? Where’s Caylee?’

‘The exact time is not known’, the first red flag. The second red flag: Baez waffled on the time frame of Caylee Anthony’s ‘accidental drowning’, ‘it could have been early afternoon, early morning, actually it was early morning hours.’

Those who have tragically lost a child by way of an accident, illness, or a crime have the uncanny ability to recall the exact time their precious child died, went missing, or was murdered.

Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the three felonies related to Caylee Anthony’s death on July 5, 2011. Casey Anthony is set to be released from the Orange County Jail on July 17, 2011. After the acquittal verdict from the jury Casey Anthony has not issued a statement about her daughter’s death via the County Jail or her attorneys. It’s a sure bet behind the scenes major news media outlets are vying for Casey Anthony’s first interview after being released from jail. It’s also another sure bet, if Casey gives a (paid) interview she won’t ‘confess’. The interview, Casey’s first opportunity to put yet another ‘spin’ on what happened to Caylee Anthony in June of 2008. Or, Casey Anthony may wait to tell her ‘story’ in a book, a la OJ Simpson.
