Jessica Simpson credits her new VH1 reality show, The Price of Beauty, with helping her find her own inner beauty.

Joined by celebrity hair maven Ken Paves, the 29-year-old singer/actress traveled the world to find identify what constitutes beauty. Jessica, who has often been scrutinized and ridiculed publicly for her weight and seemingly limited-IQ, said the show has helped turn her life around.

“It changed me completely because I haven’t always had an inner confidence,” the former “Newlywed” said at the Television Critics Association Conference in Pasadena Friday.

“The journey really was finding something beautiful inside me, and [knowing that] I own it,” she explained.

“I’ve always had a calling to be a positive light and role model for girls and women in the world. This show is my light. You’ll see my life changed,” Jess said. “You can’t let anyone else [define] beauty for you. I carry myself differently [now]. And any man I find, they are going to be darn lucky.”

The Price of Beauty premieres on VH1 March 15.

While we have yet to see the Acer Liquid popping up for real on American soil, the lucky Brits have just been treated to a second color option — black — for this underclocked Snapdragon Android phone. Still no sign of the red option that Acer promised, though. Price remains steady at around £330 (which is about $537) at a couple of UK e-tailers, but hey, with that shiny $529 tag on the Nexus One it’s hard to be mad at our British friends. Let’s hope Google and Vodafone can work out something nice for them.

Acer Liquid now available in black, only wants Queen’s money originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:11:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Of all the ways to get caught passing a phony credit card, using one with your own misspelled name on it might be the worst.

Just ask Gregory Buter — ummm, Butler — who was sentenced to 27 months in prison for trying to buy more than $12,000 worth of gift cards and tools from a Naperville business with just such a card.

An employee at a Home Depot alerted store security on Nov. 9 because he recognized Butler, 47, who allegedly had used a fraudulent card at the store in the past. Security called police, who confiscated his credit card, which was embossed “Gregory Buter.”

Butler pleaded guilty on Tuesday to possessing a counterfeit credit card and was sentenced by DuPage Judge Kathryn Creswell.

He was arrested with Danny Collins, 52, of Chicago, whose case on the same charge is pending.

Chicagoans are among those who are helping with relief efforts in Haiti.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson says he’s planning a trip to the earthquake ravaged country and hopes to go in the coming days.

The Chicago civil rights leader says his Rainbow/PUSH organization will appeal to corporations and other humanitarian groups for assistance.

On Saturday evening, Chicago-area Haitians have planned a rally.

So far, Haiti’s government has already recovered 20,000 bodies. That doesn’t count those recovered by independent agencies or relatives themselves.

Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive says final toll of 100,000 dead would “seem to be the minimum.”

A driver cutting across lanes to make his exit this morning caused a crash in which a milk truck rolled over and spilled its cargo, authorities said.

The incident happened about 8 a.m. on Ill. Hwy. 53 just north of Kirchoff Road near Rolling Meadows, said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Gregory Coate.

Three vehicles, including the milk truck, were headed south, three abreast, on Route 53 when the driver in the far left lane, a 22-year-old man, noted that he was about to miss his exit, Coate said.

The driver tried to cut his Toyota Highlander SUV across the lane to the right, and the adjacent car swerved, trying to avoid a collision.

But in avoiding one crash, the second vehicle, a Mazda sedan, collided with the milk truck. The milk-truck driver lost control and the truck tipped over on its right side, “causing its cargo, milk, to become damaged,” Coate said.

The drivers of the Mazda and the milk truck were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, he said.

The driver of the Toyota, meanwhile, was uninjured and cited for improper lane usage.

A memorial service is being held for the twin brother of a victim in the 1993 slayings at a suburban Chicago fast-food restaurant.

The Saturday memorial service is at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Palatine.

Mennes’ twin brother, Thomas, was among the seven people killed at Brown’s Chicken and Pasta Restaurant in Palatine.

The victims, including the restaurant’s owners and five employees, were shot and stabbed. Their bodies were stacked in a walk-in cooler and freezer.

Former handyman James Degorski has been convicted in the killings and sentenced to life in prison. His accomplice, Juan Luna, was also sentenced to life in prison.

The arrest this week of a 45-year-old Oswego woman was welcome news to a mother whose son disappeared from Sitka, Alaska, more than 20 years ago.

Reta Coville, who lives in the San Diego area, did not know for years what happened to her son Scott, who moved to Sitka in 1987 to work in commercial fishing and disappeared about a year later.

Jane Limm, of Oswego, married Scott Coville in Sitka in October 1987. She was indicted by a Sitka grand jury last week on charges of first-degree murder and tampering with evidence in the death of Scott Coville, who was 26.

Limm was taken into custody Wednesday outside her apartment in Illinois. She is being held on $250,000 bail.

Alaska State Troopers plan to extradite Limm to Alaska to face charges. Attempts on Saturday to find out whether Limm had a lawyer were unsuccessful.

Reta Coville told the Sitka Sentinel by telephone from her California home that Limm’s arrest is like a miracle to her. She said she had long suspected that Limm was either responsible for Scott’s death, or knew more than she was saying.

Coville said she had not spoken to Limm in years and she last spoke to her son in March of 1988.

Covilles said her son met Limm at La Sierra College in Riverside, Calif. When he decided he needed a break from school, he tried to get a job on a fishing boat, or in a cannery, and headed to Alaska, Coville said.

Limm joined him in Sitka in the summer of 1987, and the two were married there in that October. In February 1988, they returned to San Diego and had a church wedding, Coville said. That was the last time she saw her son.

When Scott first went missing, Coville thought that maybe her son “needed to get away from everybody and think things through.”

But she said she and her husband grew suspicious over time when she didn’t hear from Limm and she didn’t report Scott missing.

“To me, it didn’t seem like new-wife behavior, even old-wife behavior,” Coville said.

About 12 years ago, Coville and her husband accepted that Scott was dead.

“We finally just decided to let God handle it,” she said. “If we’re supposed to know, we would know.”

A few years ago, Coville said she got a call from Alaska authorities asking if her son had ever surfaced, but she never expected to get word that Limm had been taken into custody. Alaska troopers have said they got a break in the case in the spring of 2007.

So far, they have released very little information about the case.
