Javier Colon Wins ‘The Voice’ x Well, well, well – it looks like good things do come to those who wait! Just ask “The Voice” season one winner Javier Colon. He was voted winner of the competition last night on the season finale after years of unsuccessful record deals.
Right after his win he told CNN: “I was expecting that Carson would call Dia’s [Frampton] name and I was just prepared to hug her and tell her that I loved her. But then he called my name and I was just not expecting it.”
Part of the reason why Javier was not expecting to hear his name was because he had experienced a long list of disappointments, so he says he learned to never expect success. Read the rest of article…

LOS ANGELES Six weeks after Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed he had fathered a child out of wedlock, his wife Maria Shriver filed divorce papers Friday to end their marriage of 25 years.
The former television journalist and Kennedy family heir cited irreconcilable differences but offered no additional details about the breakup.
She also did not list a date when the couple separated, although they announced they had done so on May 9.
A week later, the former action star and former governor admitted he fathered a child with a member of his household staff years ago.
Shriver’s filing does not indicate the couple has a prenuptial agreement, which likely means Schwarzenegger’s earnings from his career as a Hollywood megastar will be evenly divided with his estranged wife.
She is seeking spousal support but any amount would be determined later, either through a settlement agreement or by a judge. Read the rest of article…

Brad Pitt explores the pitfalls of being a dad in The Tree of Life, writes Stephanie Bunbury.
It seems remarkable that golden boy Brad Pitt should be middle-aged but there’s no getting around it: Pitt turns 48 this year. Not just that but he seems to be rushing to meet middle-age with open arms.
”I’ll trade youth for wisdom,” he said recently; in another recent interview, he remarked how liberating it was not to have to play romantic leads any more.

Maria Shriver cited “irreconcilable differences” in a petition filed Friday to dissolve her 25-year marriage to former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The move comes more than a month after Schwarzenegger acknowledged that he fathered a child outside of his marriage.
The couple announced their separation on May 9, calling it a mutual decision made “after a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer.”
It became clear a week later that the split was triggered by Schwarzenegger’s revelation to his wife that he had fathered a child with his housekeeper.
“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement May 17. Read the rest of article…

GAINESVILLE, Ga. — Bridge jumpers, beware.
Police are warning teens, especially, and all others who make a sport of jumping off of Lake Lanier bridges — you’ll end up not just in the drink, but possibly in the cooler, as well.
Which is reminding movie buffs of the scene in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” where the central characters are on the run, trapped on a high cliff above a river, and the only way out is to jump.
Robert Redford says, “I can’t swim!”
Gainesville Police are pretty much using the same line to warn teens not to make this another summer of jumping off of Lake Lanier bridges for the fun of it — the fall will probably kill you and if it doesn’t, a judge may fine you and even put you in jail for up to 12 months.
