Zitat:Harvey Phillip „Phil“ Spector (* 26. Dezember 1939[1] in New York) ist ein US-amerikanischer Musikproduzent.
Spector sorgte seit den 1970er Jahren weniger wegen seiner Musik für Schlagzeilen, sondern tauchte immer wieder mit negativen Zwischenfällen in den Nachrichten auf. So reichte seine Frau Ronnie (ehemaliges Mitglied der Ronettes) 1972 die Scheidung ein, nachdem Spector sie während der Ehe häufig misshandelt und psychisch gequält hatte.
Am 3. Februar 2003 wurde die Polizei durch einen Notruf von Spectors Chauffeur zu dessen Haus Pyrenees Castle in Alhambra (Kalifornien) gerufen, wo die Schauspielerin Lana Clarkson durch einen Revolverschuss in den Mund zu Tode gekommen war. Spector sprach von einem „Selbstmord aus Versehen“, als Clarkson „die Waffe geküsst“ habe. Der Chauffeur hatte Spector in seinem Notruf allerdings mit den Worten zitiert: „Ich glaube, ich habe jemanden umgebracht“. Spector blieb gegen eine Kaution von 1 Million Dollar auf freiem Fuß.

Zitat:Aviator and industrialist Howard Hughes (1905 - 1976) suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder and experienced bouts of withdrawing from the world. At times he was rumored to have let his hair grow to shoulder length and his nails into claws as a result of his fear of scissors. There were times when he was also rumored to be dead because no one had seen him except a couple members of his staff in a preposterously long time. Hughes was the subject of the Leonardo DiCaprio vehicle, "The Aviator" and the movie "Melvin and Howard" was peripherally related to him as well. When he died in 1976, his estate was estimated as worth 2.5 billion dollars.

Zitat:Thomas Daniel "Tim" Conway (born December 15, 1933) is an Emmy award-winning American comedian and actor, who has worked in sitcoms, sketch comedy, and film.

Conway then became a regular on The Carol Burnett Show. Conway's memorable character on the Burnett Show was:

• "Mr. Tudball," a Swedish-American businessman whose intentions of running a 'ship-shape' office were usually sunk by the bored indifference of his secretary, "Mrs. Wiggins" (Burnett). Conway used a stereotypical Swedish accent (especially when frustrated); for example, his attempts to pronounce his secretary's name came out as "Mrs. Ah-huh-wiggins". He would also use this accent for other characters, such as an inept dentist.

Zitat:The Eminem Show (engl. für: „Die Eminem Show“) ist das vierte Soloalbum des US-amerikanischen Rappers Eminem.

Zitat:Censored version The clean version of The Eminem Show censors all profanities, compared to his previous albums, in which the words "goddamn", "bitch", "ass", and "shit" were allowed. This album allowed no profanities, and the profanities were either muted or back masked.[citation needed] Following this, the censored version even took out entire sentences because they were too sexually charged. In fact, the entire song "Drips" is removed in the clean version and is just heard as four seconds of silence moving on to "Without Me", due to thinking there were so many profanities that editing the song would be pointless. But some copies feature an edited version of "Drips." However, in the skit "The Kiss", it can still be clearly heard that Eminem shouts "Motherfucker!" on the censored version. "Hailie's Song" censors "abort her" when he says "God, I'm a daddy, I'm so glad that her mom didn't abort her."[17] Also, in "White America", in Eminem's speech the word "flag" is backmasked when he says "To burn the flag and replace it with a parental advisory sticker".

Zitat:TOBIN: Any thoughts? So, as you know, we have to get this place up and running as quickly as possible for as little money as possible. So last night I pulled out the old Time Life series, and I have to admit, there’s some pretty terrific ideas in here. For example, we can putty up the cracks in the drywall and then give the lower part of the wall a good coat of paint. Then we can take a strip of wallpaper, put it around the top, thus creating sort of a border, if you will. Also, I gathered up all the broken China from the dining room because I read here in Martha that chipped teacups make great votive holders, and we all know, when in doubt, it’s candles, candles, candles, right? So I cleaned them up, filled them with tealights, and I think they look terrific. Oh, the pieces that were too far gone to save, I just smashed them up and used the pieces to make this nice picture frame.

Zitat:TOBIN: Hold on. [to Michel] Why don’t you scooch just a little bit for me?
