| Hell hath no fury as Vincent Gallo's "prosthetic" scorned!
New York Post, Sept 15 (ANI): Artist Vincent Gallo has slammed a critic for suggesting that he used a prosthetic while shooting an oral sex scene for a film. Critic Frank Scheck had recently stated that the actor used a prosthetic during his explicit oral-sex scene with Chloe Sevigny in the 2003 movie bomb 'The Brown Bunny'. Irked by this suggestion, Gallo has now issued a profanity-filled rant against the critic. "Tell that hack to convince his mother, sister or wife to let me give it to her . . . and then she can report back to little Frank if she thought (it was fake)," the New York Post quoted him as saying. Posting a message in an email, Gallo said that 'The Brown Bunny' was a low budget film, and creating a prosthetic for the scene would have been out of the budget.

Melbourne, Sept 25 (ANI): Rachel Weisz is battling it out with Chloe Sevigny to play the female lead in 'Terminator 4', if reports are to be believed.

A source said that they both approached the film's producers Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek enquiring about the role. "Chloe and Rachel personally inquired to Anderson and Kubicek about the role at the party," Moviehole quoted the source, as telling New York Daily News. The film's cast is yet to be named and a 'high-profile' hunk has been chosen to play the lead role. However, it looks like it will be difficult for Weisz to cope with more projects, since she already has a packed shooting schedule.

Is Hillary Clinton's star fading?
The aura of inevitability surrounding Hillary Clinton's White House candidacy isn't as bright as it once was. The vivid carrot-colored pant suit she sported while debating her Democratic opponents at Dartmouth College on Wednesday shined brighter than her candidacy, which has lost a bit of its luster as potential vulnerabilities have surfaced.Campaigns are narratives. They tell a story and, to a certain extent, Clinton has been able to direct her narrative by keeping Democrats focused on her electability. The danger that arises when a candidate rides that one-legged stool is that it is easy to topple. She hasn't fallen yet, but as the campaign wears on she will have to provide Democrats with more than she has provided so far. If not, she may find herself struggling to balance as her opponents and the press begin pushing and shoving.Case in point.
High-tech culture of Silicon Valley originally formed around radio
He had help from tech pioneers such as Charles Litton Sr., who in 1932 established a machine shop that made better vacuum tube manufacturing tools. Tubes were the workhorse of electronics before transistors and - according to L�cuyer - Litton's tools allowed San Bruno vacuum-tube-maker Eitel-McCullough to build superior components - and a reputation. Another seminal event was the 1939 invention of the klystron tube by Stanford research associates and brothers Russell and Sigurd Varian, who would later start Varian Associates. The klystron tube led to more powerful radars, helping the United States and its allies gain an advantage in World War II. In his 1995 memoir, "The HP Way," Packard himself provides a glimpse of this ecosystem in action, telling how Terman arranged for him to work evenings at Litton's shop.
