Lady Gaga Buys Michael Jackson Items, But Not All for Charity

This past weekend, pop music icon Lady Gaga bought 55 items that belonged to another pop music icon,I compare {} dre in ear tour headphones.monster beats cheap the late Michael Jackson, at an auction. The auction included big-ticket items like Jackson’s “Bad” tour jacket and one of his signature white gloves. Lady Gaga tweeted to her 31 million Twitter followers that “pieces I collected today will be archived & expertly cared for in the spirit & love of Michael Jackson, his bravery, & fans worldwide.”

Overall, the auction drew more than $5 million. An unspecified portion of that total will be donated to Guide Dogs of America,Cheap Yves Saint Laurent burberry bags High Quality Replica Bags. which is “dedicated to its mission to provide guide dogs and instruction in their use, free of charge, to blind and visually impaired men and women from the United States and Canada so that they may continue to pursue their goals with increased mobility and independence.” Another unspecified portion of the auction total will benefit the Nathan Adelson Hospice in Las Vegas, which provides end-of-life care in Southern Nevada.

More than a few online media outlets, including the websites of Glamour,Why not buy Canada Goose Kensington Parka Women in our Cheap Canada Goose Online? Starpulse, and NME, got the facts wrong on this one, suggesting that the entire auction total of $5 million would benefit charities, as opposed to an as-yet undisclosed portion of that amount. This may have given the impression that sellers were motivated by more of an altruistic impulse than may have actually been the case.

So, note to Guide Dogs of America and the Nathan Adelson Hospice: if you approach Julien’s Auctions looking for $5 million from the Michael Jackson auction extravaganza, don’t be surprised if you’re told to “beat it.”

News executives and their stylists are pressuring smart women to serve cheesecake with the expertise — and justify the ugly business as evidence of gender equality: Ladies, you don’t have to prove anything anymore, so forget about those ’80s power suits and wear whatever party dress you want to on “Meet the Press.”

“Ten years ago, professional dress meant a Talbots suit for women,” the head of a marketing firm that consults with news networks told The Washington Post. Things have changed for the better,” he said. “The audience has equal regard for female and male anchors. It’s given women far more liberty to be feminine.”

A crock. If no one has to prove anything, why doesn’t David Gregory wear a cut-off T-shirt and flip-flops?

Ann Curry, former co-anchor of NBC’s “Today,” told a women’s magazine how she was pressed to wear “ridiculously high-heeled shoes.” Mika Brzezinski complained that when she started on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,For sale is a Canada Goose Chilliwack Parka men's jacket.” she was pushed into clothes that were “short, skimpy, tight.” She somehow escaped and now wears sweaters and collared shirts, which is what Joe wears.

Rachel Maddow has dismissed the cable TV news look for women as “un-businesslike.” How interesting that the minimally adorned Maddow is MSNBC’s hottest commentator, challenging Fox News and attracting the younger demographic.

You wonder whether the news executives tarting up their female journalists aren’t the Ron Burgundys stuck in the age of disco. Perhaps they’re the dated ones, not giving women the liberty to be serious.
