Taylor Swift Valentine’s Day Plans to Include…

Taylor Swift is single, but not yet ready to mingle on Valentine’s Day. Following her split from Harry Styles , the artist was asked this week by Ryan Seacrest just how she planned to celebrate February 14? The answer? It’s not very romantic. “I’m probably going to be with my friends or rehearsing,” Swift said, adding that the age of 23 has been fantastic so far, despite the break-up. “It’s just hands down been the best year. It’s been amazing it’s been exciting. I got to make a record that’s different than anything I’ve ever done before.” “The fact I was able to branch out and everybody is embracing it. It feels like the best year I’ve had so far, it’s been wonderful.” The next single off that album will be titled “22” and it was written with friends such as Selena Gomez and Emma Stone in mind, Taylor says. “That was kind of the marker of me being 22 is having all these friends. There are a lot of question marks in your life like where you’re going, who you’re going to meet, but the one thing you have is you have each other.” Whatever happens on February 14, Taylor, we recommend making some Valentine’s Day brownies . No way those are going to let you down.

Bush Family Emails Hacked; George W. Bush Bathtub Self-Portraits Allegedly Found

A computer hacker has broken into the email accounts of some of the family members of former presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. The hacker has already posted tons of stolen material, which he/she reportedly got from the AOL account of Dorothy Bush Koch, 53, Dubya’s little sister. Among the treasure trove of items hacked? Private pictures of 88-year-old President George H.W. Bush while he was being treated in the hospital. Sensitive photos and information were obtained by the hacker, including a four digit code needed to enter George W. Bush’s home security gate. The hacker also claimed to have addresses and contact information for Bush family members, including both former presidents and their children. The Smoking Gun reports that the hacked email accounts include several family members and their correspondence with other family and friends. Reports indicate that “In e-mail exchanges with the person who claimed responsibility for the hack, the individual claimed to have swiped ‘a lot of stuff.’” One email to friend Willard Heminway from Brit Hume after the 2012 election results reads, “Election outcome disappointing, but there are many silver linings.” The emails also show details on how serious George H.W. Bush’s health was in late December, when he was hospitalized; his funeral was being planned. OH, and the hacker also claimed to have obtained photos of paintings George W. Bush has been working on, “including self-portraits of him showering and in a bathtub.” Seriously.

Kris Humphries to Kim Kardashian: Annul Us!

Like a power forward who finds his way down to the post and gains solid position on his opponent… Kris Humphries is not budging. Despite Kim Kardashian divorce demands and complaints now actually involving her unborn child – Kim says stress from Kris is threatening the fetus – a source tells People that Humphries has not changed his stance. ” Kris only wants an annulment,” an insider tells the magazibe. “He never wanted to be married more than once and he feels like she cheated him out of the chance to have a real, loving marriage.” Indeed, Humphries continues to insist that the “entire marriage was a fraud” and, no, he doesn’t care about the Kim Kardashian baby on the way. “He feels that even if she’s pregnant, she still has to deal with the mess she made,” the source says. Kardashian is due in July and is urging a judge to begin a divorce trial as soon as possible. She insists, of course, that she never defrauded Humphries in any way. “I wish this issue to be tried immediately so that this false claim can be put to rest and I can move on with my life,” Kim wrote in papers filed last month with the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Winter Storm Nemo: Why Is It Named That?!

Winter Storm Nemo, a.k.a. the blizzard going on outside for tens of millions of Americans, is doing its thing. But why does a big snowstorm need a name? You can thank The Weather Channel alone for the moniker, it turns out. It also turns out that the National Weather Service is not amused. The massive New York / Northeast / New England snow storm will be among the biggest on record, but the region has seen plenty of snow in the past. Why is this one so special? And why Winter Storm Nemo of all names? Here’s the Weather Channel’s rationale for naming the blizzard: Naming a storm raises awareness about it, and the weather Naming it makes it easier to monitor the system’s progress A name gives it personality, which adds to the awareness A name makes it much easier to reference in communication A named storm is easier to remember and refer to later It’s not about marketing, or hype, or ratings, or generating more buzz for the Weather Channel, they say. Just doing their part for awareness and safety. Right. The Weather Channel defended the unusual move by saying it’s just stepping up to tackle a task to benefit the public that the government won’t: “There is no national center, such as the National Hurricane Center, to coordinate and communicate information on a multi-state scale to cover such big events.” Therefore, they say, “it would be a great benefit for a partner in the weather industry to take on the responsibility of developing this new concept.” The National Weather Service doesn’t see it that way. After TWC first began the practice by coining Nor’easter Athena in November, the NWS put out a statement disassociating itself with the naming system. The agency urged employees to “please refrain from using the term Athena in any of our products,” while local meteorologists were also unimpressed. Some wondered if TWC was just trying to parlay its peak audience during hurricanes – which are all named by the National Hurricane Center – into winter ratings. The network denies this and insists it’s just trying to help. It’s true that #nemo is trending on Twitter right now, and that’s easier to type than #blizzard. Maybe? And why Nemo? TWC says Winter Storm Nemo is NOT named after Disney’s Finding Nemo or the character in Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues under the Sea . It say that Nemo is “A Greek boy’s name meaning “from the valley,” and means “nobody” in Latin. So, yeah. Read into that however you like. And stay safe people.
