South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore returning soon





South Carolina's Mr. Football Marcus Lattimore suffered an injury on a hit during the second quarter of the match in which South Carolina's 38-35 victory in Columbia, S. C. His right knee dislocated and ligament was damaged but the doctor Jeffrey Guy was able to put everything in right place and South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier believes that he could eventually return to football soon.





“We’re optimistic his football days are ahead of him,” Spurrier said.“He knows what the road ahead is,” he continues. “We’re all hoping and praying he’ll be back.”





“Marcus has already begun the process of prehabilitation prior to surgery and to his eventual return to football,” an statement comes.

Britney Spears to pay 1 million for about 1 million bucks.








Sam Lutfi when Managering Britney

Britney Spears' former manager Sam Lutfi sues against Pop star and her family for, as he said he is to paid by Spears, about 1 million dollar. To defend that case she is to bear another 1 million as legal bill. E! News has learned that the pop superstar's family has run up a nearly $1 million tab to pay for the eight-person legal team defending her in her defamation trial.





That amount, ironically, is what her former manager is seeking after suing Spears and her parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, in February 2009 for breach of contract, libel, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress, especially after what he said were "false statements" about him in Lynne's book Through the Storm.





The Los Angeles lawyers defending the "Oops" singer include Leon Gladstone, Stephen Rohde, Joel Boxer and Bonita Moore, whose going rate is typically $500 an hour, but when they're in court, about $700 an hour. Additionally, Spears has her conservatorship attorneys in tow, Geraldine Wyle and Andrew Wallet.





There's also a lawyer on hand specializing in appeals in case Britney's camp needs to file one, should Lutfi's attorney attempt to revisit the issue of getting Spears to testify (a probate judge has forbidden this as she is still under a conservatorship).



Doing the math, having eight lawyers defend her will cost the hitmaker around $50,000 a day, or close to a whopping $1 million for what's expected to be a 20-day trial. That's not including all the pretrial hours such representation has no doubt already racked up.





And of course, let's not forget Spears spent roughly $1 million in legal bills in 2010 stemming from her conservatorship and other legal snafus, such as the sexual harassment suit she settled with her ex-bodyguard.


For his part, Lutfi was asking 15 percent of the $800,000 Spears earned each month for the eight months he served as her manager, which ends up being about $960,000.





So the bottom line is the Britster is paying either way. However, if Lutfi loses, she could bring a frivolous lawsuit against him asking a judge to reimburse her for her legal fees.

Stella Booshoft, a college student bares herself to become Body-Image Hero








The famous image of Stella Booshoft  in her blog

A college student named Stella Booshoft has become an internet sensation overnight. This 18 year-old New York viral hero recently posted a picture in her blog on self-acceptance in order to help other young women deal with body image taunts is taking a stand against both bullies and the trend of fat-shaming, in which society views a woman who isn’t stick-thin as less-than.





Boonshoft appeared on the Today Show yesterday and said that at first, she was “mortified” that the photo would be seen by so many people; it wasn’t originally supposed to go public, but became a part of photographer Brandon Stanton’s “Humans Of New York” project after he decided not to use the photo he’d taken of her fully clothed. Now, she’s become a role model for girls and young women everywhere by sharing her story.





“I think people are cruel because they are uncomfortable seeing an image of people who are not thin,” Boonshoft said. “I found that after years of struggling with my body image that really there was no way to justify the bullying as a child and as a teen.”





Now that she’s garnering national attention, however, Boonshoft says she will be changing the way her blog works. With the help of Stanton, she’ll be revamping the way she approaches it now that she has a broader audience.





She told her fans .........................................





Hello followers, new and old,





Thank you for being so wonderful and supporting me through this crazy, incredible journey. It has been surreal.





I want to tell you that as far as a personal blog, this is endeavor is finished. I have a much broader audience, and I’m not so sure I’m comfortable sharing ALL of my life and thoughts with everyone! It’s a confusing, complex issue. I want to get the message of self love and acceptance out there, however, I don’t think chronicling every detail of my life is the way to go about that.





So, here’s to the new body love blog. Over the course of the next few weeks, me and my friend Brandon (who you all know from Humans of New York) are reinventing this blog.





I’m hoping it will turn the focus off of me, and onto a much larger issue. I want this blog to turn into something about YOU, not me.





It is all very exciting. I’m not going to reveal details yet, but trust me, this is going to be beautiful. I know that because you all are beautiful.




Love,


Stella
