What is simply November to you is so much more to so many men around the world. Sorry ladies, you don't want to be a part of this one. Leave Movember to the men. For once all the "trick or treaters" are tucked in bed and the clocks have fallen back, lots of bold gentleman are going to embark on a follicle adventure, celebrating the most versatile of facial hair - the moustache. According to the official Movember website the rules (oh yes, there are rules) are simple:
1. Once registered each Mo Bro must start November 1st with a clean shaven face.
2. Then, for the entire month of Movember each Mo Bro must grow and groom a moustache according to these rules:
1. There is to be no joining the Mo to the side burns - that's a beard. There are no beards.
2. There is to be no joining of the handlebars on the chin - that's a goatee.
3. A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip, aka a tickler, is allowed.
While the hair is sprouting, flip through our check out the GetBack 'Staches Awards Gallery.
Celebrities Sued By Neighbors
We've lived in downstairs apartments, and we've been plagued by inconsiderate upstairs neighbors who always seemed to find a reason to rearrange the furniture at odd hours of the night. We've also had building mates who just didn't seem to know how to take off their shoes when walking across the hard wood floors at 6 a.m.
So we feel bad for the residents who live below Madonna in her New York flat. According to them, Madge is a noisy neighbor. But they claim it's not just the usual sounds of daily life that are bugging them. In a recent lawsuit, neighbor Karen George complained that "Madonna and one or more of her invited guests repeatedly dance and train... to unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music, causing noise and vibration to pour through the walls, ceilings, and radiators." Bummer.
While the Material Girl waits to see if she's going to be evicted from her Manhattan home, we take a look at other celebrities who've been sued by their neighbors.
When Real-Life People Become Sitcoms
When we heard the news last week that Wilmer Valderrama of "That '70s Show" fame is going to star in a new sitcom based on the life of "Dog Whisperer" Cesar Millan we thought, "Really? Why not just watch the real thing?" But then we started looking back at all the shows that have been based on the lives of actual people, and we began to warm up to the idea.
While we wait to see how Wilmer handles being thrown to the dogs, here are a few other sitcoms based on real-life people, including the biggest hits and misses through the years.
"Celebrity Apprentice" Applicants' Job Qualifications
The cast for the upcoming season of "Celebrity Apprentice" was announced last week. And while we look forward to seeing Bret Michaels go head-to-head with Rod Blagojevich (if he stays out of jail long enough to compete), we couldn't help but wonder exactly what it is that qualifies these stars to work for Donald Trump. What skill set is The Donald looking for in participants in the high stakes, back-stabbing pressure cooker that is his world? If the applicants filed resumes with the Trump Organization, the career objective on all of them would be the same.
OBJECTIVE: Obtain a position on "Celebrity Apprentice" alongside 11 other washed-up C-listers in order to jump-start my flailing career, bicker as much as possible, and prove I'm not famous from sheer luck... oh, and win some money for the charity that is near and dear to my heart.
And while the potential contestants all have the same goal, the "Related Skills" section of their resumes would vary greatly. We took a peak at what each one brings to Mr. Trump's conference table.
Major Stars. Major Tax Problems.
Wesley Snipes is not alone. News broke recently that Nicolas Cage is suing his business manager, Samuel J. Levin, for incompetence that caused him huge tax liabilities and "catastrophic financial losses." Contributing to Cage's financial woes, the IRS has filed more than $6.3 million in liens against Cage for back taxes owed from 2002, 2004, and 2007. He is reportedly selling some properties to pay off the debt and going after Levin in retaliation.
But the "National Treasure" star isn't the first celebrity to owe big money to Uncle Sam. A few have even spent time behind bars for failing to pay taxes. Hopefully, Nic will avoid that fate and start building up his nest egg with the earnings from the four films he'll be starring in next year. In the meantime, maybe he can get a few tips from these celebrity tax evaders.
