Casey Anthony: Out of Hiding, Back on the Run!

Casey Anthony had been hiding out in South Florida area, but had to leave at some point last week after being outed and fearing for her safety. As a result, she is once again on the move, according to reports. Anthony has been in hiding in Florida, where she must remain due to her probation, since she was acquitted of murdering her daughter last July. She has recently been more making forays back out in to the public, albeit virtually unrecognizably due to the amount of weight she has gained. Having been served with a subpoena recently in the defamation suit filed by Zenaida Gonzalez, Anthony has been forced to find new digs. Gonzalez is suing after Anthony told the cops that a woman with a similar name to Gonzalez’s – Zanny the Nanny – had kidnapped Caylee. The private investigators were attempting to serve her with a subpoena to appear at the trial, which is expected to begin in January 2013. “Casey had been venturing out at night and the investigators had been tipped off by people that had seen her,” said a source close to her. “Casey is a smart girl and quickly determined that she had been found and refused to leave the house or accept service of the subpoena.” “The P.I.s weren’t stalking her, they just wanted to serve her and move on.” Anthony’s lawyers soon accepted the subpoena on her behalf. “Casey was extremely upset that she had been found because she had settled into a routine and felt safe in South Florida,” the source adds. “Her lawyer advised her that she needed to move for her own safety, though; Casey is hopeful that this will be the final move before her probation ends.” At which point, it’s Costa Rica time … hopefully forever.

The Bachelorette Recap: Goin’ West Virginia Hood Rat Backwoods on His Ass!

Emily Maynard showed us a new side of herself on The Bachelorette tonight . We honestly didn’t know the girl had that scrappy street fighter in her, but we dig it. Unfortunately for one guy, this earned him a profane tongue-lashing and a ticket out the door. Fortunately for us, that douchebag will no longer take up screen time. Who was the recipient of Emily’s blowup, and what’d he do to provoke her? Who else got the boot at the end of the night after the fireworks ended?

Cutest thing ever. Plus 20 . Chris Harrison’s purple scarf? LOLZ not so much. Wow. Minus 11 . Sean Lowe gets the one-on-one date, and he’ll obviously knock it out of the park, ’cause that’s what guys like Sean Lowe do. At everything. Plus only 10 because he’s almost too perfect for words and shows up normal guys. Meanwhile, Alejandro is still on the show. Who knew! Plus 4 . Sean and Emily do their best impression of the Duke and Duchess. Will Emily soon be sporting her best Kate Middleton baby bump ? Probably … since that “bump” is like 97 percent not real. Minus 9 for THG confusing all of you. Kalon says every day is a “group date” with Emily and Ricki. Ohhh, good one man! What a douche. Just pack your bags now. Minus 15 . Sean sounds like a preacher in the park … saintly, even. Plus 8 . Emily and Sean’s date at the Tower of London? Quite romantic. Plus 6 . The whole “love takes no prisoners” card? Quite cheesy.

You’re not actually kissing her.'” Plus 5 . “If Shakespeare were alive and saw Ryan, he would say ‘thouest suck.'” Plus 10 . Emily drinking beer with the guys? Plus 10 . Do the producers feed Ryan these lines? And/or tell him to talk in the Disco Stu-esque voice? He’s creepily hysterical. Plus 3 .

Plus 12 . Props for Doug telling her. Given the nature of what was said, and the fact that it involved Ricki … it was warranted. Plus 28 . Emily: “I wanna go West Virginia, hood rat, backwoods on his ass.” Plus 150 . And she backs up the talk! Plus 50 for cutting him off and telling him to “get the f*%k out” and not even hearing his half-assed excuses. Why even go on the show if you know Emily’s the star?

Prince William Promoted to Royal Air Force Captain

Let us now pause from debating Kate Middleton baby bump photos to discuss the simple, undisputed and unrelated fact that Prince William is the man. Not only is he rich, smart, handsome, married to a beautiful girl and a future monarch, but he’s on his way to becoming a decorated serviceman! Two years after joining the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force, the Duke of Cambridge has officially qualified to be an operational captain. William can now lead missions in RAF Sea King helicopters by himself. The 29-year-old recently helped save the lives of Russian seamen whose cargo vessel sank in the Irish Sea last November, co-piloting the aircraft. William’s advancement comes after two years of flying experience and study with C Flight, 22 Squadron at RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales. Flight Lieutenant Wales, as he is known in the RAF, “demonstrated the required standards needed for the award of operation captaincy,” his commanding officer said. “Due to the nature of search and rescue operations, the required standards are always set at a very high level. Operational captaincy carries the overarching responsibility for the continued safety of the aircraft, its crew and any casualties.” Wills – way to go man!

Will Prince William and Kate Middleton Reenact "The Kiss"?

Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are headed back to the balcony that saw the kiss seen ’round the world. When they stepped out onto the balcony of Buckingham Palace last April 29 as husband and wife and kissed for the first time, it was a magic moment. Soon, the royals are set to return to that location in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee anniversary marking her 60-year reign, on June 5. Royal Wedding Kiss and Highlights Prior, the family will attend a service at St Paul’s Cathedral followed by two receptions, a lunch at Westminster Hall and a carriage procession to Buckingham Palace. Somehow we doubt William and Kate will upstage his grandmother with another kiss, but the royal wedding was a day many in the UK will remember. Taking the moment up a notch, after the much-anticipated public display of affection, a Royal Air Force flyover took to the skies to seal the spectacle. The Queen at least deserves that.

What Did Prince William and Kate Middleton Name Their Puppy?

When it came to naming their brand new puppy , royal newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton decided to go a traditional, sophisticated route. Standard operating procedure for a Duke and Duchess. Kate Middleton let their closely guarded secret slip when talking to a group of school children at Rose Hill Primary School Tuesday: Its name is Lupo! The cocker spaniel’s moniker means ‘wolf’ in Italian. Why the name Lupo? “There is no significance in it apart from they liked the name,” a royal aide told the U.K. Daily Mail shortly after Kate spilled the beans. Adopting the puppy in January, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge first met the canine over the Christmas holiday with her parents in Bucklebury, England. “He belongs to a litter of spaniels from one of Carole Middleton’s friends near home,” a Palace aide said earlier this month when confirming Lupo’s origin. Late last year, Kate and William reportedly took the small canine companion home for a brief fostering period before making the adoption official. “William and Catherine fell in love with the pup instantly and it wasn’t long before they decided to keep him, officially, in their family,” the source says .

Komen Foundation To Reverse On Planned Parenthood

Day after Decemberists withdrew support, breast cancer charity announces it has reinstated funding for PP health centers. By Gil Kaufman Much like Congress rethought its decision after the outpouring of public anger over the anti-piracy SOPA and PIPA (Personal Information Protection Act) acts, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation had a change of heart on Friday (February 3) after intense criticism for its decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood initiatives. Komen, the organization behind the popular pink-ribbon campaign, announced on Tuesday that it would stop funding breast cancer prevention, screening and education at Planned Parenthood health centers — a decision Planned Parenthood claimed was in response to pressure from pro-life groups. Over the past five years, PP centers with Komen program funding have provided nearly 170,000 clinical breast exams out of the more than 4 million exams performed nationwide at PP health centers, as well as more than 6,400 mammogram referrals out of 70,000 total referrals, according to PP. Following the firestorm of controversy over the decision, the founder and CEO of the nation’s largest breast-cancer advocacy group said on Friday that the group would work to change the criteria that sparked the outcry. “We will continue to fund existing grants, including those of Planned Parenthood, and preserve their eligibility to apply for future grants,” Nancy G. Brinker said in a statement . “We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives.” Brinker went further, acknowledging that the original decision to pull funding was done for “political reasons, or specifically to penalize Planned Parenthood.” In the wake of the public furor, Komen’s director of community health programs resigned in protest over the decision. In addition, 26 U.S. senators had signed a letter this week asking Komen to reconsider its withdrawal decision. One of the leading artistic voices of dissent over the initial Komen withdrawal from Planned Parenthood were the Decemberists. The band had worked with Komen since the band’s keyboardist, Jenny Conlee, had revealed her breast cancer diagnosis. When news broke on Tuesday that Komen had pulled funding for breast cancer examinations at PP, the Decemberists redirected the funds from their “Team Jenny” T-shirt to PP. On their website , they explained, “The Decemberists are deeply troubled by Komen for the Cure’s recent decision to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood, a vital resource in the battle against breast cancer. Providing cancer screenings to low income women is integral to the prevention and defeat of breast cancer and it is unconscionable that Komen should politicize this very important issue by bowing to the fear campaign being waged against PP by the right.” On Friday, the band added an update to their initial posting, writing, “The Decemberists are pleased that Komen for the Cure reversed their decision.”

The Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Is…

For its annual Sportsman of the Year honor, Sports Illustrated simply could not choose between a pair of iconic coaches. Therefore, both Pat Summitt and Mike Krzyzewski have been recognized by the magazine, with the University of Tennessee Women’s Basketball Coach and the Duke University Men’s Basketball Coach covering the latest issue of the publication: Last month, Coach K set the all-time Division I mark for coaching victories, less than two years after leading Duke to yet another national title. Summitt, meanwhile, put her stamp on 2011 in a more personal way: in August, she announced that she’d continue her legendary coaching career despite a diagnosis of early-onset dementia. Krzyzewski and Summitt join John Wooden and Dean Smith as the only coaches to receive this award from Sports Illustrated . They’ll be honored with a banquet in New York City tomorrow night.

Mike Posner Enlists Big Sean, Bun B For The Layover

‘I think a lot of people don’t realize that I came up doing mixtapes,’ singer tells Mixtape Daily. By Rob Markman Mike Posner Photo: Getty Images Celebrity Favorites: Mike Posner Don’t let Mike Posner ‘s pop success fool you: The boy is as hip-hop as they come. Before he cracked the Billboard top 10 with his debut single “Cooler Than Me,” the Duke grad was slinging free mixtapes like rappers do. On Sunday, the raspy-voice singer is going to return to what he knows when he drops his Layover mixtape. Since his first album was 31 Minutes to Take Off and his spring 2012 follow-up will be titled Sky High, Mike figured The Layover would be the perfect title for an in-between project. “I think a lot of people don’t realize that I came up doing mixtapes,” Posner told Mixtape Daily. “My first mixtape was with [DJ Don] Cannon that I made in my dorm room when I was a student at Duke, and ‘Cooler Than Me’ was a song on that mixtape that I recorded in my dorm room.” So even with all his success, Mike still has love for the mixtape grind. “It is incredibly important for me to reach back to my roots, and kind of do what I came up doing again,” he said. Posner once again recruited Don Cannon to help him put the tape together, and this time out, he’s collaborating with Big Sean, Big K.R.I.T., Bun B and Twista too. “I really took it back to the basics with this tape,” he explained. “I brought Cannon back in, Big Sean’s on the tape, Big K.R.I.T.’s on the tape, and I’m doing the remixes of songs and kind of like hip-hop-ifying classic non-hip-hop songs.” One such song is Elton John’s 1972 classic “Rocket Man.” Posner threw new synths and pulsating drums under the classic melody. While he adds his own swag to Elton’s lyrics, Mike also enlisted Bun B to add a verse for a 2011 upgrade. That’s not all: On “Wonderfall,” the Detroit singer/producer redoes Oasis’ “Wonderwall” and adds Big K.R.I.T. to the mix. All in all, it’s a refreshing, genre-bending take on some classic music.
