What was Fendi thinking?
(photo credit: eLUXURY.com)
This is not a good look for women's shoes. Designers are always creating new looks but why add a kitten heel to a wedge sandal.
Yes, it's inventive but it's not up to the standards of Fendi.
Product information (from eLUXURY.com)
Fendi Shark Wedge Leather Sandal $485.00
* Soft grained leather
* Leather vamp with double-round buckle detail
* Ankle strap with golden buckle
* Leather-covered platform wedge with lacquered kitten heel
* Smooth leather insole with grained leather logo heel patch

Drew Fuller may not be a household name but his career is heating up with four upcoming projects.
2007 is shaping up to be a great year for him, he has the lead role as Jason Stevens in the movie, The Ultimate Gift also starring James Garner, Bill Cobbs, Brian Dennehy and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) which will be in theaters March 9th.
Drew's second project will be the new Lifetime TV series, Army Wives starring Kim Delaney and Catherine Bell which will be premiering sometime in March. His third and fourth projects are both movies: 1) Blonde Ambition playing Jessica Simpson's boyfriend and 2) Loaded playing a friend of Jesse Metcalfe's (Desperate Housewives) character.
From his role as Chris Halliwell on Charmed he has gained a fan base where there are numerous websites, fansites and blogs dedicated to him.I think he has a future in Hollywood and if I had the chance I wouldn't mind being his publicist because he will go far. Hopefully he stays away from the young hollywood scene.

What Happened To The News?
by Lifestyle Guru
The news, both local and national has turned from reporting important information to reporting about celebrity gossip, being biased and showing truly negative news. The constant attention given to Anna Nicole Smith was excessive, there are other things going on in the world and to devote that much time to her was just too much in my opinion.
It has also been noted that when someone who is missing is Black, Hispanic, Asian or another ethnicity they are rarely shown on national news. If not for the constant efforts of family members and friends of the victims then they might not garner any national attention. This issue has been a topic on some TV shows such as Without a Trace and CSI: Miami.
I understand that there is not enough time to devote to people that are missing on the national news, but I just don't think it's right to focus so much attention on some and not others. Are some lives more of value than others?
Why isn't there a nationally aired TV show that focus on the missing? This could give families a way to let people know that their family member is missing. Kidnaped victims have been found in other states.
I once read an article about how there is no profit in reporting positive and inspirational news. What sells is sensational and negative news, which is why the last few minutes are used to showcase any quirky or positive news.
