Nerd News Flash! Yahoo Hires New CMO, Genius Marissa Mayer….While Other CMO is on Vacation!!

I have seen some shifty moves in business. I have seen some of the nastiest business cat fights go down. We all know no one has a safe job in this economy. You may get fired the dy you get fired. It’s a low move but possible.This however takes the cake.

We shall call this move,’Business 101: Fuckery’.

Current CMO of Yahoo, Mollie Spillman, was of vacationing at the beach. She was trying to unwind from working at one of the largest internet companies in the country. While she took a moment away from the office to regain her humanity, she was replaced by Marissa Mayer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poor Mollie found out 10 minutes before the news was announced to the entire company. Ouch.

A source close to the situation tells us Mayer informed the vacationing Spillman of the news only ten minutes before it broke.

“She was blindsided,” said this source. Mayer and Spillman have worked closely together in the weeks since she became CEO, and the fact that Mayer was looking for her replacement never came up.

I guess there really is no rest for the weary.

News of the WTF. Strange New Findings in the World of Science; Penis Snake and TITANOBOA!

Science never ceases to amaze me hen it comes to new findings and strange animals, reptiles, amphibians, etc. It’s icky, gross and often VERY threatening. This is fine when it is extinct.

I recently had the chance to view documentary on ‘Titanoboa’. I figured it might be a fun romp into Docu land with a few added giggles. Instead it has turned me into a creature obsessed.

This colossal snake is closely related to the Amazonian Boa. This is frightening because it exists today. However Titanonoa died 60-63 Million years ago. The reason I preceded with the picture above is that Titanoboa was a MONSTER that could devour a large human without blinking.

According to Wikipedia.org;

By comparing the sizes and shapes of its fossilizedvertebrae to those of extant snakes, researchers estimated T. cerrejonensisreached a maximum length of 12 to 15 m (40 to 50 ft),[4] weighed about 1,135 kg (2,500 lb),[1] and measured about 1 m (3 ft) in diameter at the thickest part of the body.[5][6]

For Americans, that is 50 feet long, 2+ tons, its width larger/higher than your bed or kitchen table. And able to eat small mammals in a single bound with jaws that open to the size of a doorway in your house.

Still not sure how big it would be, check out these photos from The Smithsonian Exhibit

Mother’s hide your children! No, just kidding. However there is a lot to be learned from this behemoth. I just scientists don’t get a bug up their buttt and decide to clone this bad boy.

Now to move on to something slightly more alive and slightly more disgusting.; The Penis Snake

Yes, it’s real and it’s really, really gross looking.

This limbless amphibian is the newest find in the Amazon. The Amazon is full of new undiscovered species and plants. This happens to be one of them.

According to the Inqisitor.com, they found this beast in Brazil.

Monga Bay reports that the strange creature was discovered while the Madeira River was being drained as part of a damn building project in Brazil’s Madeira River. Biologist Julian Tupan said that six penis snakes were found at the bottom of the river.

The amphibious creature is know as  Atretochoana eiseltiis. The scientists ho have found it and studied it tried calling it a ‘Floppy Snake’. Unfortunately due to its, um, happy face, shape color and size, it was re-dubbed ‘Penis Snake’.

I personally am fan of going PG-13 with this little guy, and calling it a trouser snake to soften the blow.

What do you think it should be called?

Lilo and Sheen Sign for Scary Movie 5. Holy Hell, the Apocalypse/Rapture is Upon Us!

(Photo straight stolen from Michael K and crew at Dlisted.com because it is too good not to share http://dlisted.com/)

According the lovely people at E! Charlie Sheen is back for another romp in the scary movie series. This should be interesting with his ‘Tiger Blood’ on set, i.e. crackhead craziness.

Wait there is more, Lovely Lindsay Lohan aka LiLo has signed on too. Oh…Em…Gee….Fuckballs. This is beyond interesting. I expect this to be ….HIGH-larious. Imagine the Wizard and Queen of drug addiction together. What kind of insurance do you need for that kind of movie? Holy bejesus!

As far as Lohan she once again, or should I say notoriously, has NOT signed a contract yet. So um, is she in it?

Her rep said that, “as of right this moment,” she had not inked a deal, but all insiders are in agreement that she is definitely doing the movie.

Sources also say that the ever-comebacking Charlie Sheen, despite being uncomfortably killed off in Scary Movie 4, will be back for the next sequel, which is being touted as a complete reboot of the franchise and is due in theaters Jan. 11, 2013.

http://www.eonline.com/news/335474/lindsay-lohan-set-for-scary-movie-5-with-charlie-sheen

Oh eff me, really. This is like all the other movies Lindsay says she is in. They want her but she is even HIGH-er risk than Sheen who at least has a REAL career backing him up. Maybe he can use his magic Wizard powers to push this through because it will be a must-see movie.

Lets hope neither one OD’s or dies half way through shooting I kind of want to see this made.

Sigh, that’s Hollywood.

Heathyr Wolfe (ergo me)in New York Times Photo Section. In Case You Missed It!

Way back in 2009 I had an amazing shoot with French Photographer Lise Sarfati for the photo series, ‘On Hollywood’. I have quit smoking since (yay me!), but the effect of the photo itself is striking and phenomenal. Like something out of a of an old Italian film. I am VERY proud of this photo.

I just found out it got featured in the New York Times photo editorial (jaw dropping)! HUGE thank you to Robert Kenney for finding this for me online (shameless plug, check his photo work of ME at http://www.RobertKenney.info )

Walah!

Johnny Depp Flies Back to Vanessa Paradis

NO! Say it ain’t so. My one chance to meet and slobber on Johnny Depp seem’s to have flown the coop. Look’s like all us Hollywood Depp groupies will have to wait another year or even, lifetime, for our chance to party with Johnny.

That’s right Mr’ Johnny Depp came to his senses (boo!) and has flown back to the south of France to try to patch thing up with his long-time love Vanessa Paradis. Makes sense since he has two children in the picture now. That’s right. They are getting big enough to know what is going on now too.  Lily-Rose is 13, and Jack is nine. Depp is 49 now and needs to stop philandering and fooling around.

I hate to wish them the best, but I sincerely do. Go get your woman Johnny and as the French say ; Bonne Chance!

CAUGHT! Chik-Fil-A Playing a Girl on Facebook to Save Face. Creates #Faceplant

Oh Chik-Fil-A. I really don’t know HOW to file this. Busted, broke and bad form are a good start though. Maybe dirty, horrible and bigot are new categories I should go with.

Recently when Henson co. pulled their toys from Chik-Fil-A, they put this on their Facebook page after the President of Chik-Fil-A came out very vocally AGAINST gay marriage;

I love The Muppet’s, but now I am PROUD of them too.

The fact is recently the most honorable Henson studios pulled their toys from Chik-Fil-A’s kiddy meals because frankly, the CEO of Henson studios is a HUGE advocate of same-sex marriage.

Good show.

However, when PR scandals like this show up and a company looks like their profits will be taking a dump and losing millions, the weasels show up to cover the companies ass. I ONLY call them weasels because they decided to attack social media on Facebook.

According to Gizmodo they are trying to run a sympathy campaign by LYING and saying the toys have ALREADY been pulled weeks ago. With fake accounts.

Gizmodo had this to say;

Chick-fil-A claimed the toys were pulled because of a “possible safety issue”. That, of course, is a complete lie. A lie that the company may be propagating with fake Facebook accounts of Chick-fil-a sympathists.

And this just fell from bad form to scraping bottom of the barrel. Such tactics are not to be tolerated. Especially when there is proof.

Check this out. Some astute Facebooker caught them at it.

I want to hug him.

Where will Chik-Fil-A go from here? Apparently they will be losing even more funds. They have been banned by the entire city of Boston, Massachusetts is telling them to go to hell as well.

As far as I am concerned they might as well close up their restaurant in Hollywood, CA too. They won’t be profiteering on the gay population in West Hollywood and parties are pretty liberal here.

Time to take a hike Chik-Fil-A, your day in the sun just fell into the gutter.

I think they need to stop before it gets worse.

What do you think?

Nicole Scherzinger Needs a Sandwich

I know New York Fashion Week is coming up but there is such a thing as too little weight, even for the runway. Nicole Scherzinger seem’s to have found out what that is.

Recently revealed as the newest X Factor UK judge, the paparazzi snapped these not so lovely photos of Nicole as she was leaving the London Radisson.

Ouch Mami, you’re skinnier than me and I’m 5’2! And those low crotch pants make it worse. (As a post note I ask NO ONE wear these, they are NOT fashionable)

Nice back bones there. Excuse me while I go binge on pasta.

Her personal assistant needs to be fired for NOT FEEDING HER. A dancer should never be this skinny. Especially since she has always been hailed up for her gorgeous ‘curves’. If she thought wearing white would add weight to her photos, it did just the opposite.

As a new role model for girls in the UK we sure hope she starts eating healthier. Even Unkle Karl wouldn’t let this bitch down the runway. Take care of yourself Nicole, we don’t need another celebrity tragedy (we already have Lindsay Lohan).

US Approves First-Ever Pill to Help Fight HIV

A daily regimen of Truvada is estimated to cost $14,000 per year, putting it out of reach for many [GALLO/GETTY]

Although enormously expensive the Truvada pill has finally been released. Truvada is the first pill known to directly fight the spread of HIV.

A Three year study in healthy HIV carrier up to almost 42%. This is huge milestone and despite its hefty price I believe we are actually ready to start combatting HIV and AIDS, instead of elongating pan and suffering. With an estimated 50,000 new cases per year we need more pro-active measures to help combat HIV and AIDS. Truvada may be the beginning of the end.

Of course like any medication Truvada is not without its nasty side effects. Truvada has been known to cause nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches and weight loss. Is it really worth it? The answer will always be yes to those that suffer and live with the HIV and AIDS virus.

It may be a baby step but we ARE on the right track. Let’s end this epidemic.

7/12/12 Artwalk Riot in DTLA; What really happened (how to ruin a good night)

Because news is heresy and I was there. I want to tell you my story and what REALLY happened.

First let me clarify, OCCUPY LA movement was not involved. If there were there on their own accord, they were bystanders who got drawn into POLICE/LAPD fire. Those people fight for their right peacefully.

Might I add this once again is forcing my dislike for the police in this town. Stalked for four years, they can’t help, someone attacked me in my house, they tried to victimize me and say I did it. I’m shaking my finger at you very vigorously LAPD (get it together boys).

In sequence my night started off lovely. My roomie came home from work hot and sweaty and I was taking her to her FIRST Artwalk in DTLA. We dressed up, were meeting friends. Perfect.

Then the rain started and it was even better. Cooling off everyone helped easy the aggro and we needed the rain. Add a perfect colorful LA sunset and a shot of vodka and my night was off to a good start.

The first thing I see as I get down to Artwalk is this loveliness.

Hooray for this window. Next we stopped off to see Tina Summers at her boutique half a block from 5th & Spring at ‘Uniqbill’ Boutique. My roomie got some serious spike earrings and we chatted.

I was warned by Tina and her family that there was a protest 1/2 a block west from 5th & Spring. Turned out the bullhorn I had heard was the cops ‘hassling people’ “Fine”, I said, we’ll just go the other way”. And we did, and it was fine.

We ventured into the Artwalk ‘I Art U DTLA Pop up Boutique at 521 S. Spring st.

It was packed full of happy and hot shoppers.

Look at all the angry people. Oh right, that is what is missing from this picture.

Stopping by Astera Leather’s booth we found awesome Gir coasters made of leather by Kim Weaver.

And headed over to view the awesome display at Candy Wax Cutie

These guys are a very cool creative collective of Artists, Photographers, Film Makers, Models, Fashion Designers and Make Up Artists who are making art in every way possible. I spoke to one of the girls there extensively. They really pulling together to be professional and unique in what they do. Check out the display of one of the Costumers.

After she gave us free Monster (hallelujah, free energy drinks) she warned us thing were bad outside on 5th how we came. Again I answered, “No problem we’ll go out the back” and we did.

That was about 10:20PM, and then shit started going bad as we exited on to 6th as we headed to 7th and Pershing Squares Metro.

First Police helicopters flew in, then we were passed by 10 cop cars sirens blaring shooting down Spring. In the midst of it all we walked a block to far so we cut across Pershing Square. There was chalk art everywhere. Kitties and rainbows and some hearts and the word ‘Peace’.  Really fun, innocent and cute. This is what the police were fighting with people about. Yep. Chalk art by sweet peace-loving kids.

As we neared 7th again and crossed the street we the police were about 50 feet from us. All in riot gear. Cars blocking the street, 20 cops in a line in riot gear. 15 feet from them, one stationed at each staircase leading into the metro at Pershing Square. I figured try getting in and if necessary run and catch it ANYWHERE else.

As we crossed the street we actually passed this kid, shirt up, surrounded by his friends taking cell phone pictures.

Weird finding a photo the next day.

I pulled my roomie away from him. At that moment we saw the elevator. Whipped around the corner, caught it with 5 others. Last minute a couple ran in. We all looked at each other and giggled nervously.

After that I called a few people CBS News and NBCLA were already spreading false facts. Police were hurt, etc. and it was an OCCUPY LA thing. It wasn’t.

Truth be told it was over some nice people passing out chalk to draw with. The kind you give a five-year old.The police didn’t like it and used force. Probably said it was destruction of property. Innocent bystanders got hit with rubber bullets and bean bags. Shot in the face and attacked for loving art and Los Angeles.

Not only that but they totally ruined my shopping buzz. Which is a far bigger sin than they know.

Unforgivably it was very real violence. Why this? And why on a night of festivities, music and promoting artists?

Thanks LAPD, You really ruined a beautiful night. For everyone

Below, My roomie and I post riot.
