Towering (5'11") redheaded actress Barbara Rhoades was 20 years old when she signed her first studio contract with Universal. She was possessed of a self-sufficiency and breezy sense of humor that belied her youth. The best of her early screen roles was gun-toting lady bandit Penelope Cushings in the 1968 Don Knotts vehicle Shakiest Gun in the West (a remake of The Paleface [1948] wherein Rhoades' role was played by Jane Russell).
Beginning with 1977's Busting Loose, she was a regular on several TV sitcoms. For reasons best known to casting directors, Barbara Rhoades almost always ended up playing someone named Maggie: Maggie Gallegher in Hangin' In (1979), Maggie Chandler in Soap (1980-1981), Maggie Davis in You Again? (1986). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ross Walsh
Lois Feldman, 38, and Ross Walsh, 26, were caught having sex in the men’s restroom during an Iowa Hawkeye football game in Minneapolis on Sat., Nov. 22. Lois Feldman claimed she had wine before the game and did not realize what was happening.
After the news broke, Feldman said she was fired from her job as an administrator at an assisted living center. Her husband, Kelly Feldman, has been supportive and blamed himself for not accompanying her to the restroom. Kelly Feldman had told her she was intoxicated and refused to be persuaded out of attending the game.
As the incident happened on campus, Lois Feldman and Ross Walsh were ticketed by campus police for indecent conduct. There were other cases where people were arrested for indecent behaviour at public stadiums’ restrooms.

Tom Colicchio gay
Tom Colicchio has good taste. At least, that’s what we assume because, in addition to helming his Craft restaurants (and Gramercy Tavern before that), he’s the head judge on Top Chef, which finally comes to New York this season. He’s even, as he calls it, “returning to the stove” this fall to cook a series of intimate, reservation-only meals, dubbed Tom: Tuesday Dinner. But as we found out when we spoke to the culinary captain on the phone recently, dude likes beef jerky. WTF?
Time Out New York: At last, Top Chef is in New York. How did being here affect the show?
Tom Colicchio: In a way, I don’t think it helps. On the one hand, it was great to stay home and sleep in my bed, go to work every other day. But on the other hand, I think we lost some kind of continuity. When we’re shooting on location, that’s all we’re doing. But here, when you leave the show you go about your life. It was like every time we went back to the set we were starting new.
TONY: I have to ask: If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life—
Tom Colicchio: Mushrooms. I love mushrooms.
TONY: Wow, I expected something fancier.
Tom Colicchio: Mushrooms can be very fancy. It’s the closest you can get to eating dirt.
TONY: That’s exactly why I don’t like them, even though I’m a vegetarian.
Tom Colicchio: Really? You’re the worst kind of vegetarian—picky, too. I was a vegetarian for a year.
TONY: What caused it and what ended it?
Tom Colicchio: Looking into a stockpot and seeing a bunch of bones after they were cooked, and it was like, This is gross. I was about 23. After a year, I just needed a steak.
TONY: Do you have any embarrassing guilty-pleasure foods?
Tom Colicchio: Not sure. Let me look in my fridge. I like licorice. Beef jerky? I love beef jerky.
TONY: Like the kind at the bodega?
Tom Colicchio: Not Slim Jim, that’s spiced beef. It’s different.
TONY: Other than the appreciation of dried beef, what’s the most difficult thing for a good chef to learn?
Tom Colicchio: It’s finding your own style, because so many chefs imitate other chefs.
TONY: And do you find that contestants try to impress you by using your style?
Tom Colicchio: No. But usually halfway through the season, they all start feeding off each other and all the food starts to look the same. It’s kind of annoying.
TONY: They’ve just spent too much time together. All their tastes regulate?
Tom Colicchio: Exactly. It’s like if you put 12 women in a house together…
TONY: Tell me about it. What’s more important, skill or creativity?
Tom Colicchio: They’re not mutually exclusive. Once you have your basics down, you can start breaking the rules. Too often, chefs just want to experiment—they want to use liquid nitrogen before they know how to use heat.
TONY: Or salt. Why is it so hard to season?
Tom Colicchio: When they’re busy, they stop tasting their food. Every time we ask them if they tasted everything, they think that if they say yes, then we’ll turn around and say, “You have no taste.” If they say no, then we’ll say, “How can you put food out that’s not seasoned?” So they think it’s some kind of catch-22 and never answer the question.
TONY: But they’re happy to answer when it’s someone else’s fault.
Tom Colicchio: Of course.
TONY: Do you hate it when they throw each other under the bus?
Tom Colicchio: I don’t mind it if it’s true, and I’ll tell you why. They are playing to win. If you’re in the kitchen and some chef starts blaming you for something, I don’t know how long you’re going to take it before you turn around and say, “I didn’t do it, that guy did it.”
TONY: I’m always amazed at how many people cry. Have you ever teared up in the kitchen?
Tom Colicchio: No. [Laughs] There’s no crying in the kitchen.
TONY: Speaking of being sad, we do an annual survey of NYC chefs—
Tom Colicchio: I remember last year, I was the chef nobody wanted to work with!
TONY: You seem nice on TV. What happens when you get into the kitchen?
Tom Colicchio: I don’t know. I’m nice in the kitchen, too. I was actually quite surprised by that, because ten years ago Charles Dale put out a sort of Zagat’s survey for chefs. And the chefs that chefs wanted to work for, number one was Thomas Keller, number two was me, and number three was Daniel [Boulud].
TONY: A lot changes in ten years.
Tom Colicchio: Yeah, but I don’t think I’m that bad on the show. I’m no Gordon Ramsay.

Tyna Robertson
The nasty battle between Tyna Robertson and Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher continues, text messages included.
Brian Urlacher and Tyna Robertson are battling in a custody case over their 2-year-old son Kennedy, and the end is nowhere near, not by a long shot. As their nasty custody case continues, in court papers Tyna Robertson claims that Brian Urlacher have sent her over 30 nasty text messages this year. Some of the messages allegedly read:
"Go to hell you f*****."
"Grow the f*** up and quit praying and get a job."
"You're a f****** fruit cake."
"Your raising a little p***y."
Tyna also claims that the NFL player celled her "hooker" and "jealous bitch" in another series of text messages. Urlacher is denying the allegations, questioning Robertson's integrity in the past.
Tyna Robinson, a former stripper, accused in the past Michael Flatley (Lord of the Dance) of raping her and sued him for $35 million. That case didn't go anywhere, and Flatley is currently suing Tyna for extortion and defamation. Robinson have made the same claims against a doctor from Naperville, Illinois.
Considering her past occupation, Urlacher filed suit to establish paternity of his child, Kennedy, in 2005. The NFL linebacker said he was willing to support Kennedy, but not his mother. The custody battle has been raging since October of 2006.

James Biela
MUGSHOT! Here’s the mug shot of Reno’s James Biela, possibly arrested for Brianna Denison’s murder says reports. Did James Biela murder Brianna Denison? Biela has been arrested for kidnapping and multiple murder counts in breaking news just coming in.Here’s the latest.
FOX News citing local affiliate KRNV-TV confirms Reno’s James Biela, 27, was arrested yesterday. Biela was arrested at Washoe County Jail. Biela’s charges are murder, first-degree kidnapping and sexual assault. But are those connected to Brianna Denison?
“Reno police wouldn’t immediately disclose whether Biela’s capture was related to the Denison case, according to the station. Investigators will hold a press conference Wednesday to formally announce the arrest.”
A DNA sample from Biela was taken Tuesday and needs 12 hours to come back with results … just in time for that press conference.
The press conference reportedly will be at 1:30 PM EST today.
It’s been 10 months since Denison’s case started. Brianna was a sophomore at Santa Barbara City College in California and was taken January 20 from a friend’s place in Reno. Brianna’s body was thereafter found in a park in town on February 15.
Brianna Denison
Denison was at home for winter break from Santa Barbara City College in Santa Barbara, California where she studied psychology. She and her friends were attending events tied to the Summer Winter Action Tours Martin Luther King Jr. weekend in Reno, that Denison reportedly had attended in the past.
Brianna was last seen on January 20, 2008 at approximately 4:00 AM PT at a friend's house in MacKay Court, Reno where she was staying after attending a party at the Sands Hotel and Casino on North Arlington Avenue in Reno.
When her friend, K.T. Hunter, woke up at around 9:00 AMPT, Denison was nowhere to be found. A small blood stain was found on the pillow she used to sleep with that night, which led her friend to alert Brianna's parents and consequentially local authorities. Dension left the house without her shoes, cell phone and purse. Authorities believe she was barefoot, wearing only sweats and a white tank top.
In the following days, the Reno Police Department conducted a forensic investigation on the room where Brianna was sleeping and found DNA belonging to an unidentified male. They also found that the blood on the pillow was that of Denison. Investigators began focusing towards a kidnapping scenario.

Nicki Meyer
She said she'll always be a Gator fan, but soon Nicki Meyer is going to be a Yellow Jacket.
Buchholz's 5-foot-6 libero and the only returning senior from the Bobcats' 2007 FHSAA Class 6A state champions has committed to Georgia Tech. She said there basically was nothing not to like about the Yellow Jackets.
"First of all, I love Atlanta," Meyer said. "It's really nice, and the campus is pretty small. Plus, everything on the campus is new. They redid the weight room. I loved the coach (Bond Shymansky), and it's still pretty close to home.
"I committed the day after I visited."
Meyer is the daughter of Florida football coach Urban Meyer. She has been a fixture at as many of her father's games as her volleyball schedule has allowed in recent years.
She joked that selecting the Yellow Jackets was OK because "at least it's in the ACC, not the SEC."
Her father said he sees the commitment as a culmination of countless hours of work.
"I'm really proud to have her accept a scholarship offer from Georgia Tech to play volleyball," said Urban Meyer, who was courtside in The Lakeland Center when Nicki served a match-best five aces in the 25-17, 25-16, 25-15 state title victory against Plant City Durant. "She has put in a lot of effort to get to this point in her academic and athletic career. It is also a tribute to her high school and club coach, Jeff Reavis, who made her the player she is today. He has been a great mentor to her and demands excellence in the classroom and on the court.
"Our entire family went on the recruiting visit to Georgia Tech and we feel very comfortable with Bond Shymansky and his entire staff. It is a great situation for her both athletically and academically."
Nicki said she also had scholarship offers from Ohio University (the only other visit she took), South Florida and childhood favorite Utah, among others.
"For a while I wanted to go back to Utah," said Meyer, who lived there from 2003 to early 2005 before moving to Gainesville. "I love Utah and would love to go back."
But Georgia Tech proved to be more than she could have imagined.
"Everything felt right about it," Meyer said.
The Yellow Jackets finished 22-10 in 2007, and recently were picked by league coaches to finish second in the ACC this year behind defending champion Clemson.
While at Georgia Tech, Meyer will face off with North Carolina middle blocker Shelbey Bleke, a former Bobcat teammate on last year's 27-5 state champs.
"Shelbey and I laugh about that all the time," said Meyer, who added Bleke was someone who told her she would love Georgia Tech. "It's pretty funny, and I'm pretty excited about that."
