USWeekly reports that Lynn Harless, Justin’s mother, says “the apartment is great and the pair loves it.” Justin has been talking about moving to New York City for awhile now. Back in November, People magazine reported that Justin plopped down $5.25 million for a downtown condo. He was quoteded as saying New York City is:
Good for everything. It’s good for food. There is good fashion. There is mostly good weather except for [rainy] today. And it’s the realest city in America.”
Welcome Justin. But get ready for lots of gray, cold weather after spending your life in Tennesse, Orlando and Los Angeles.

Heroes stars Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have ended their relationship after more than a year together.
The actress, 19, struck up a romance with the 31-year-old while filming the hit sci-fi series.
But it seems the 12-year age gap finally proved too much.
‘It was a lifestyle conflict,’ a source close told America’s Us Weekly. ‘They were in very different places.’
Oh No!! We used to love these two as a couple…What happened to age being nothing but a number???
Rihanna Finds Chris Brown’s Apology and Statements “Arrogant”!
It seems like Rihanna isn’t taking any acknowledge to former boyfriend, Chris Brown’s apology statement…and we DON’T BLAME HER!!!
Chris has formerly said that he was “seeking the counseling of my pastor” following the incident and that he was “sorry and saddened” over what transpired.
According to reports, Rihanna finds Chris’ apology and statements “arrogant,” and we do to.
A source close to the Umbrella hit maker tells the Chicago Sun-Times, “All of us, including Rihanna, don’t understand how he can say he’s sorry on the one hand, but still … does not admit any guilt.”
“He should have expressed more contrition.”
We totally agree!
What do U think???
President Obama Signs Stimulus Package
President Obama today signed a stimulus package that includes several provisions designed to stimulate the housing market, including an $8,000 tax credit for those who purchase homes for principal residence within one year of the bill’s enactment. This tax credit would not have to be repaid.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 also expands tax-credits for energy-efficient doors and windows through 2010.
The legislation also offers several other provisions designed to stimulate the residential construction market, including the following. It would:
- Increase bonus depreciation and Section 179 small business expensing;
- Allow a five-year carry back for net operating losses;
- Provide $2 billion in gap financing for the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and accelerate credit claims for LIHTC investors;
- Provide up to a 10-year deferral for income taxes arising due to cancelled or restructured business debt;
- Extend the New Markets Tax Credit; and
- Provide an Alternative Minimum Tax patch for 2009.
The Fix Housing First Coalition had hoped the stimulus package would remove the repayment requirement of the current first-time homebuyer $7,500 tax credit, increase it, and would structure the tax credit so that it would be provided at closing-and therefore could be used as a downpayment (CLICK HERE for related story.)
Some think the stimulus package is already making some industry representatives more optimistic as they look to the future. (CLICK HERE for a related story from the New York Times, which cites the industry’s own Serious Materials as an example of this optimism.)

The eternal hypocrisy of the Palins: Bristol says abstinence is unrealistic

Sarah Palin's teenage daughter Bristol, who recently had a baby, gave a rather revealing interview with Greta van Susteren FOX News. The highlights included her claiming that having the child was her choice and a few words about the reality of abstinence education.
Bristol said: "It was my choice to have the baby. It doesn't matter what my mom's views are on it. It was my decision." This is rather amusing to me -- because it seems as though the conservative attitude is apparently that women have a choice only just so long as they choose to do what conservatives tell them to do. Government should stay out of people's lives but it's alright when it dictates extremely personal decisions like this one. Sarah Palin went so far as to oppose abortion even in the cases of rape and incest.

The best part, though, was Bristol's declaration that "everyone should abstinent or whatever but it's not realistic at all" -- which derails what her dear mother has been advocating for throughout her career -- abstinence-only education. Keep in mind, this is the party that claims to rely on rational arguments rather than fantasies and fuzzy logic. But what could possibly be more delusional than believing that teenagers won't have sex if you just tell them not to? Talk about a pipe dream. It's like putting a stack of money in front of a corporate CEO and assuming he won't take it if you gently tell him not to.
Momma's not gonna be happy but I'm glad Bristol came out and spoke her mind on this because her party's hypocrisy on social issues like abortion and sex deserves to be called out.

Chicago, IL - Newspapers Call On Former Gov. Blago Appointee Sen. Burris To Resign
Chicago, IL - Barely a month after being sworn in as a U.S. Senator, Roland Burris is being called on to resign by the Chicago Tribune and some of his fellow Democrats.
After claiming, under oath, that there was no quid pro quo with former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Burris admitted Tuesday that he had tried to raise money for Blagojevich before the now-impeached governor appointed him to fill President Obama's vacant Senate seat. This revelation followed others, in an affidavit made public over the weekend, about Burris' contact with Blagojevich that cast doubts on the veracity of his testimony before the Illinois House impeachment panel and have opened him up to potential expulsion from the Senate.

The calls for Burris' resignation are not limited to Illinois. The Washington Post called on Burris to step down in an editorial headlined "Buy-Buy, Mr. Burris" published in Wednesday's paper:
