Platinum Wins Golden Globe Award for Best Precious Metal!
National Jeweler reports that At Monday night's 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards, fashion faux pas were notably few, and platinum proved to be the metal of choice as celeb after celeb showed up on the red carpet accessorizing with the gray-white metal.
While stars such as Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez chose yellow-gold designs for a more bohemian look, platinum offered stars such as Mary Louise Parker, Edie Falco and Patricia Arquette a classic, glamorous accent to both diamonds and colored gemstones.
"A-listers choose platinum jewelry because it holds their gemstones more securely than any other metal and makes their jewelry sparkle from afar," Platinum Guild International USA (PGI-USA) Senior Vice President Michael O'Connor said in a statement.
One notable standout was famous mom Kathy Hilton, who stunned in a platinum evening jacket with 2,000 diamonds totaling 300 carats by Lazare Kaplan. Perhaps even more impressive is the jacket's cost: $1,000,000.
Another platinum fan was MTV host and current Nick Lachey-squeeze Vanessa Minnillo, who arrived decked out in $400,000 worth of platinum and diamonds. From earrings by Lazare Kaplan to a necklace by Jacob and Co. to a cocktail ring and bracelet by Ricardo Basta, Minnillo showed no loyalty to any one brand, but a definite affinity for platinum and diamonds.
Despite a bevy of diamond designs, colored gemstones weren't at all ignored: Grey's Anatomy's Sandra Oh chose Neil Lane platinum earrings and a ring, both set with diamonds and sapphires; Dreamgirls' Sharon Leal chose a platinum and Tahitian pearl necklace, earrings, ring and bracelet by Mikimoto; and Wedding Crashers' Isla Fisher, fiancée of funnyman Sasha Baron Cohen, donned a platinum ring with diamonds, moonstones and sapphires.
Edie Falco
Men were no strangers to the platinum craze, either, with best actor winner Forest Whitaker, Dancing with the Stars' Mario Lopez and Entourage's Jeremy Piven choosing platinum cuff links from the likes of Neil Lane and Kwiat.
Prior to the ceremony, celebrities were invited to attend an envy-inducing event, the PGI-USA Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet Jewelry Preview at the Luxe Hotel on Rodeo Drive. Attendees were able to indulge in a complete platinum experience, including over $10 million dollars worth of platinum jewelry to wear on the red carpet; gift bags valued at $1,700, filled with goodies from Core Pilates, Redken, Neutrogena, Aldo and more; limited-edition Platinum Guild-engraved iPod Nanos; and spa services provided by Spa 415 Beverly Hills and Chocolate Sun.

Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
Posted by: links of london on April 11, 2011 10:04 PM
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

is Bing is style really that unhealthy?
Posted by: Cheap Christian Louboutin on April 21, 2011 12:49 PM
How d isappointing! With just a few exceptions I sense really let down by what you call the top and worst of 2009. With the exception of Melbourne is logo almost all the remaining I would be ashamed to set in my portfolio had I designed them. There yet again I did notso I can breathe a sigh of relief.
Posted by: rosetta stone software on April 25, 2011 2:47 PM
How can the Nickelodeon logo be on the Ideal l ist but Bing be around the worst l ist? It really is like looking in the exact same matter, a single is skinny as well as the other is extra fat. And I know th is is nostalgia talking, however the new Nick logo is just poor.From the top l ist, I would have put the NY Library nearer towards the best. It's a stand out mark that is just sharp.
