The National Weather Service announced on Monday, January 31st that weather in Chicago can prove to be deadly, bringing whiteouts and flooding.
According to the agency, the storm has the potential to be multifaceted and life threatening. Snowfall is predicted to be heavy so snow plows alone will not suffice to keep it under control. On the other hand the area that is prone to flooding is located near Lake Michigan.
High winds are also an approaching problem; speeds of up to 60 mph are

Giveaway: Let Me In DVD Prize Pack
What’s freakier than a child vampire? Probably nothing. It’s a child and a vampire. By themselves they’re both already creepy. Add them together and it’s “lock your doors and don’t open it for anyone” time. Well if you’re brave enough, Anchor Bay Entertainment will be releasing Matt Reeves’ “Let Me In” remake on DVD and Blu-ray February 1, 2011, and they’ve given us a DVD copy, 1 theatrical poster, and a mini comic book to give away to

Woman Sues P. Diddy for $900 Billion Over 9/11 World Trade Center Collapse!
A woman named Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks is suing the popular rapper/producer P. Diddy for $900 billion! According to the woman, Diddy raped her 24 years ago, when she was 17, but that’s not all. Things turn pretty weird when the woman also claims that the artist conspired along Rodney King and girlfriend Kim Porter to bring down the World trade Center!
Evidently, Valerie Joyce Wilson is not right in the head. She says that Sean John combs is the father of her 23-year-old son adding that

The Costumes of Downton Abbey
The horsey set.Darlings, we have Downton Abbey fever. We got a tip from Mo Ryan that this show would be right up our alley, and god bless her, the girl knows us well. We immediately got sucked into this tale of a late (or post) Edwardian family and their sizable estate staff. If you liked Gosford Park (which was written by Julian Fellowes, who created DA) or Upstairs, Downstairs, then this series is right up your alley too. Inheritance drama! Scheming sisters! Gay footman! Bitchy, backstabbing

Your Facebook Friends as CAPTCHAs
Web applications often use CAPTCHAs to ensure that real human beings and not bots are using the system. These CAPTCHAs are mostly a combination of words that are distorted enough so that only human eyes can read and solve them.
Facebook is however taking a more social approach to CATCHA solving.
Traditional CAPTCHAs are often hard to solve and therefore Facebook is experimenting with social authentication where you don’t have to recognize letters but images - they’ll show you a few

Two More After Dark Trailers: Prowl and Seconds Apart
Two more trailers for two more After Dark’s 2011 flicks: the creepy “Seconds Apart” and the more generic looking “Prowl”. The former features MadTV’s Orlando Jones as an honest-to-goodness serious cop, and I have absolutely no idea what is going on in “Prowl”. Zombies? Cannibals? Experiments gone awry? Something like that. Plus, if you missed it, the last After Dark trailer was “Re-Kill”, which you can catch again here.
“Prowl” runs for
Christina Hendricks: Godiva-Licious
Lip-smacking.Christina Hendricks attends the opening of the Godiva Pop-Up Boutiqueat 650 Fifth Avenue in New York City in a vintage dress.She just looks like she's supposed to be standing in front of a wall of satin hearts, doesn't she? She's home, darlings. She's also home in that dress. Assuming this is some sort of spokesmodel appearance (because really, why else would she be there?), we suspect the vintage dress is a very deliberate choice. She looks like a Vargas painting. More

Hey, Remember Street Kings with Keanu Reeves? They Made a Sequel
Remember 2008′s “Street Kings”, starring Keanu Reeves as a badass street cop out for some justice (or some such)? No? Well, there was a movie called that, and Reeves was in it. Also in the movie? Chris Evans, the future Captain America himself. Anyways, no one probably remembers the movie, it wasn’t very memorable, but apparently it did well enough for Fox to greenlight a sequel called “Street Kings 2: Motor City”. As the name implies, they’ve moved

Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2011 Collection
The answer to the eternal question "Who are you wearing?"This collection fairly screams not just red carpet, not just awards season red carpet, but OSCAR red carpet, loud and clear. We would be very surprised if we didn't see several of these gowns on Hollywood's prom night. We suspect there's quite the little stylist war going on behind the scenes for some of these looks. We love the high-waisted silhouettes, the pale palette with pops of color, which is very prevalent this season, the

The key word being "uniformly," since that's essentially what they all wear: a uniform. That's why there are so few
Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2011 Collection
She certainly can cancan.Jean Paul Gaultier never fails to indulge in his sense of fun when presenting his haute couture collections. The names of each look that walked the runway (because of course they all had names): "The Clash," "Belle Epoque," "Anarchy in the U.K," "No Future," "La Goulue," told a punk-rock-meets-Moulin-Rouge tale. Mohawks and Toulouse-Lautrec. How very JPG; very French with a rock and roll twist. And how very JPG to play with traditional gender roles by sending

The SyFy Channel’s original creature feature “Mega Python vs. Gatoroid” promises a battle unlike any you’ve ever seen when former ’80s pop stars Debbie Gibson and Tiffany throw down. Heck, you can almost say watching two grown women who used to be really big-time mall popstars catfighting is better than seeing a Mega Python battling it out with a Gatoroid, whatever the hell that is.
The battle commences this Saturday at 9/8c on the SyFy

Young Professor X Defends Buttercup from Murder Charges in The Conspirator
First trailer for Robert Redford’s period law flick “The Conspirator”, starring Robin Wright as the only female woman charged in the conspiracy to murder President Abraham Lincoln. James McAvoy, Young Professor X in “X-Men: First Class”, must defend her. Lots of screaming about injustice and many people being outraged by various things ensue. Shoot, why doesn’t McAvoy just use his powers to find out the truth? He’d win in a minute, I bet.

Givenchy Spring 2011 Couture Collection
Go, go, robot model!Unlike, say... Karl Lagerfeld, Riccardo Tisci likes to keep his presentations minimal. The world of fashion has a somewhat flexible definition of "minimal," but for this show it meant 10 stunning gowns at the Hotel d'Evreux in the Place Vendôme with an all Asian cast of models. The collection takes inspiration from the Japanese performance art of butoh, dance legend Kazuo Ohno, and, amazingly and delightfully enough, robot toys. Top it off with eye-popping hats designed by

Run, Matt Damon, Run! New Adjustment Bureau Images
The biggest difference between Matt Damon’s character running away from shady men in suits in “The Adjustment Bureau” and in the “Bourne” films? I’m guessing Damon’s character in “Bureau” won’t start busting heads and shooting people. I could be wrong, of course. New images from “The Adjustment Bureau”, which co-stars Emily Blunt and Anthony Mackie of “Hurt Locker” fame.

Thom Browne Menswear Fall 2011 Collection
Guess who's coming to dinner.Last season he sent them to space, this time Thom Browne invited men everywhere to dinner in an Eighteenth Century setting, drawing inspiration from Thomas Jefferson's fabled trip to Paris. It seems like the menswear collections are the ones really pushing the fashion envelope these days, almost to the point of rebellion. It's a development we wholeheartedly support, even if we have no intention of donning skirts or plaid knickers ourselves. We admire Thom Browne
