Stars in Rewind With all the news bits about Cynthia Nixon successfully battling cancer a few years ago, and the fact that the movie version of Sex and the City will hit theaters soon, I can't help but think of the actress' first movie role -- playing Sunshine in Little Darlings. Being a kid of the Poison Ivy camp movie generation, I didn't hear about Little Darlings until about 2001, when an old roommate of mine was shocked at the discovery that I hadn't seen it. In no time, we were slumped i

A news junkie’s dream …. or nightmare

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:46:47 PDT
I am a news junkie and admittedly if I had cable plus the extra TV I would probably have either CNN or CBC Newsworld on the whole time I’m in my room I jokingly call my office. So when I saw Brian Solis’ post about local broadcast news going social I was at first rather skeptical of the the idea; after all everything these days is having the social sticker slapped on its ass like it is going to be the road to instant riches or something. But when I clicked on the LiveNewsComeras.com link (go

Astronaut Tosses First Pitch at Yanks/Sox Game from Space

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:52:25 PDT
We've become used to the sight of astronauts taking the field at the opening of a baseball game to deliver the ceremonial first pitch. Today, though, the New York Yankees invited an astronaut to throw out the ball from orbit, over 200 miles above their famous stadium. As if the fierce century-long rivalry between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox needed any more promotion to gin up interest in a contest, tonight's game got an out-of-this-world introduction. Longtime Yankee fan Garrett Reisman,

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

HULIQ (press release), USA
 

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

 
Not only is Youtube (Web Video) good for sharing Music Videos and TV Broadcasts segments, but apparently its a great tool to use when trashing soon-to-be estranged spouses as Tricia Walsh Smith invents new style of divorce: Youtube Divorce.

Former actress and playwright ("Bonkers") Tricia Walsh-Smith, vented ALL of her frustrations out against her husband, Philip Smith, President of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway, on Youtube.

Famous Divorce Raoul Felder who represents Tricia Walsh Smith says, "The situation is funny but Divorce isn't". "This is a victim who is holding her head up. I think she comes off well."

On the taping of this already famous YouTube Divorce video Smith bashes family members who gave her hell and tells the world how her husband, is allegedly trying to evict her from their luxury apartment.

Tricia Walsh Smith also makes embarrassing claims regarding their intimate life, and then calls his office on camera to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant in the divorce video put on YouTube.

Norman Sheresky, a Partner in the Matrimonial Law firm Sheresky Aronson Mayesfsky & Sloan says, "I don't think it's the kind of thing people should be doing, and it's the kind of thing judges frown upon".

"This is absolutely a new step, and I think it's scary," said Bonnie Rabin, a divorce lawyer who has handled high-profile cases. "People used to worry about getting on Page Six (the gossip page of the New York Post). But this? It brings the concept of humiliation to a whole new level."

To date Tricia Walsh Smith's YouTube Video (below) has been seen by more than 150,000 viewers.
