Faced with a problem that really stinks, the town of Brunete, Spain has come up with an unusual (and awesome!) solution. Starting in February, 20 volunteers took to the streets and kept an eye out for irresponsible dog owners. Any time an individual would allow its canine to defecate without picking up the waste, the volunteer would engage him or her in small talk… learn the name of the animal… look it up in the local date base and – bam ! – they would come up with a home address. A few days later, the offending owner would receive a package in the mail of the poop he or she left on the ground. After 147 special deliveries made in February alone, the reported sightings of excrement in town decreased by approximately 70 percent, based purely on the eye (and nose) test. Seriously, people. We all know how much dogs love to walk . Just be sure to clean up after them when they do so pedestrians are equally excited to see their canine friends on the street.
So much for not speaking out about her marriage. Within 24 hours of Life & Style running a cover story that details her husband’s alleged affair with family nanny Nicole Cemelli, Teresa Giudice has come out and blasted the allegation as ridiculous. Of Cemelli, Giudice writes on her website: “We’ve known her and her family since she was in high school. No secret. No mystery.” She adds: “Joe and I are on TV, so I get it that our lives are open for everyone and their mother to criticize. What’s unfair and completely disgusting is that you would drag every person we ever speak to into your fake stories. It’s not acceptable to falsely portray our friends, family, business associates, fans, and even acquaintances this way.” Along those lines, Teresa says Cemelli is “freaking out now… getting harassing calls at her work, being stalked on the Internet, and even followed.” And a lawsuit may be filed as a result. “You know we have four daughters that are personally hurt every time you print these lies, but that doesn’t seem to faze you at all. Maybe being sued for defamation finally will.”

Did Katy Perry cozying up to Robert Pattinson lead to the latter’s split from Kristen Stewart? Not exactly. But the pop star did play a role in this famous couple’s recent breakup. According to Life & Style , at least. “Katy told Rob she didn’t think their relationship could withstand the cheating scandal,” an insider tells the tabloid of Kristen’s makeout session with Rupert Sanders. “And he deserved better than someone who would destroy a family.” Pattinson moved out of the home he shared with Stewart this week, leading many to fear that this parting really may be permanent. And while it’s unclear just how strong the pull of Perry is on the actor, this report alleges that Rob ” leans on [Katy] during hard times.” “Katy never really supported Rob’s decision to get back with Kristen,” concludes the source. “She liked Kristen, but ultimately she’s loyal to Rob and wants what’s best for him.” Do you want what’s best for Rob? Is Kristen that person? Sound off now: Should Robsten reconcile? Yes, they are totes meant to be! No, they have too many issues Maybe View Poll »
No more teases. Selena Gomez has come right out with it. The truth about her and Justin Bieber ? HA! No. The full, official music video for “Come & Get It.” It features Selena giving the camera a few seductive glances, while we also see her lying in a grass field… getting rather personal with a few men… and even going topless in some water! For a change, however, Gomez is NOT donning the Bindi that got her in some trouble last month during a couple live performances. Watch now: Selena Gomez – “Come and Get It” (Music Video)
It’s safe to say Matt Kemp is anything but a sore loser. Sunday night, after getting swept by the San Francisco Giants, the Dodgers outfielder didn’t forget about a promise he made to third base coach Tim Wallach. Moments after the game, he made his way to the first row of stands because he had promised to sign an autograph for a terminally ill Dodgers fan, Joshua Jones. But Kemp ended up doing a lot more than that: Matt Kemp Gives Fan Uniform Taking off his cap, jersey and cleats, the 28-year-old baseball superstar handed them all to this 19-year-old suffering from inoperable brain tumors. “I was in shock,” Jones said in a phone interview Tuesday. “I was sitting there thinking, ‘I can’t believe he’s doing this.’” Asked about the incident, Kemp didn’t even make a big deal of it. “I didn’t plan on taking the jersey off, but it’s something I felt would probably cheer him up a little bit … and that was my first time taking my shoes off in front of the fans,” he told reporters. “But life is so much bigger than baseball.”
A Martin County High School English in Florida, Olivia Sprauer, says she lost her job because her bikini modeling side job got the principal’s attention. She posed in clothing you might see on any beach in America, but this educator said her swimsuit pics got her banned from for good from her classroom. Olivia Sprauer, 26, who models under the name Victoria James, said she decided to pose for bikini photos this winter even though she knew the risk. “Lots of teachers get fired or asked to resign for the same things I did,” Sprauer said. “I knew I didn’t want to come back next year and I knew I wanted to go to grad school so I decided if I made it to the end of the year I would be happy.” Unfortunately for Sprauer, she didn’t quite make it. Last week, she was called into principal Alfred Fabrizio’s office and pretty much told to hit the road. Sprauer said the principal showed her one of her modeling photos and, after she confirmed the picture was of her, she was asked to resign that day. “I felt like it would have been nice for my students to finish out the year,” Sprauer said. “They trusted me and they made me happy so that aspect of it was sad.” The Martin County School District would only confirm that Olivia Sprauer, who taught freshmen and juniors, is no longer employed at the school. Sprauer said she feels she did nothing wrong: “I don’t make pornography. I don’t open my legs on camera. I take swimsuit glamour style photography.” As for her students’ reactions to the scandal that ended her tenure? “They are happy for me,” Sprauer said. “They know I love them.” The boys, we imagine, are particularly happy she did this. Was the school right to force her out over this? Yes. She has to hold herself to a higher standard. No. It’s her life and not even that racy. View Poll »

May 3, 2013 – NEW YORK – Today, Jay Penske —Founder, Chairman and CEO of Penske Media Corporation (PMC), which owns the Movieline brand—announced website Movieline.com’s reinvention : a bold launch into the online video space. Penske said, “We’re seeing the growing demand for online video and the appetite advertisers have to reach these focused audiences. Over the last year, we’ve had incredible success with our multi-platform video entertainment news network Entertainment News Television (ENTV) and are eager to expand our reach in the field.” Starting immediately, Movieline will begin producing video content under its distinctive brand. These new segments will be three-fold: Movie Previews, Talent Previews, and News stories. All segments will be hosted by Tatiana Carrier and will run approximately 2 to 3 minutes in length. PMC’s Chief of Video Strategy and GM of ENTV Michael Davis will executive produce and oversee the Movieline brand moving forward. The first segments to air will be movie previews – essentially a consumer’s “Movieline” for all the latest films slated for upcoming theater release. These videos will include the film’s storyline, scene footage, cast interviews, and red carpet moments. As an added bonus, these Movieline segments will also feature a unique and interesting tidbit about the film – to further pique a potential viewer’s interest in the film and also enhance the eventual movie-going experience. Said Davis, “We wanted to create the perfect complement to movie trailers – a more dynamic and all-inclusive segment targeted to moviegoers’ interests, delivering them the information they need to make a decision on what to see at the theaters, while also creating a library of evergreen content that works for DVD, VOD, and all other release moments in the life of a movie.” The next wave of Movieline segments will feature film talent—top actors, directors, and producers—previewing the films and projects each has in the release pipeline. All of these segments will be supported with breaking news updates powered by PMC’s reporting prowess that includes a dynamic range of today’s most respected entertainment brands: Variety , Deadline Hollywood , Hollywood Life , TVLine and more. Yet another unique aspect of Movieline’s reinvention is that PMC will be launching this experience on the YouTube platform, with syndication to other platforms to follow. Through their YouTube Original Funded Channel ENTV, PMC has seen great success and growth on YouTube, with over 135M views on the channel in its first year. PMC has also expanded its YouTube efforts with the inclusion of a multi-channel network (MCN) called PMC Studios. Movieline will incorporate into its segments the content from its MCN channel partners—including BlackTree Media, Beyond the Trailer, Variety and others—therefore launching a consumer-facing and focused channel for PMC’s entertainment vertical properties.
