Kristin Cavallari's brother Michael found dead

A body believed to be that of NFL quarterback Jay Cutler's brother-in-law was discovered Thursday in a steep and rocky area in an isolated part of southern Utah, nearly two weeks after his car was found abandoned nearby, authorities said Thursday.


The remains that investigators think are Michael Cavallari — the brother of reality TV personality Kristin Cavallari — were found Thursday morning, Grand County Sheriff Steven White said.

"The recovery was made," White told FOX411. "The teams found him about 10:30 this morning. Now he is being transported to the Utah medical examiner to where they can determine cause and time of death. He was on a slope up above the Salt Wash Road, he was approximately three miles from the car."

The reality star told FOX411 in a statement, "We want to thank everyone for their love, support and prayers during this very difficult time. We have just been informed by the authorities my brother's body has been found. This is a very painful time and we are still processing it all. We kindly ask everyone please respect our privacy during our time of grieving."

The body was sent to the Utah Medical Examiner to confirm the identity and determine the cause of death, a process that could take as long as two months, White said.

He was found near the bottom of a steep hillside filled with boulders, about 3 miles northwest of where his car was discovered on the morning of Nov. 27, White said.

There were no bullet holes or stab wounds or other signs of foul play. It's now up to the medical examiner to determine how he died, with toxicology reports certain to play a factor, White said.

The frigid temperatures in the area may have factored in, White said. Temperatures in the area were at or below freezing every night since the car was found up against a small embankment.

"I don't know what his mental state might have been, with possible hypothermia," White said.

Kristin Cavallari shared a picture of herself with her brother when they were small children on Instagram Thursday saying her heart is in a million pieces.


Authorities had been searching for Michael Cavallari since his car was found with the engine running, and the air bag deployed, the day after Thanksgiving off a dirt road some 200 miles south of Salt Lake City.

Evidence shows Michael Cavallari's 2014 Honda Civic hit a couple of big rocks and washes, likely causing the air bag to deploy, White said. Michael Cavallari's cellphone and laptop were inside the car.

Investigators believed he was just passing through Utah, but didn't know where he was headed or what he was doing in Utah.

Michael Cavallari, 30, was arrested in Southern California on an allegation of making threats four days before his 2014 Honda Civic was found in Utah.

He bailed out of jail Nov. 25. Two days later, a rancher discovered the car near a dirt road about 5 miles from Interstate 70.

He was single and had no kids, Sheriff Steven White said.

Kristin Cavallari rose to fame in the mid-2000s when she appeared in the MTV reality series "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills." She is married to Cutler, who starred at Vanderbilt and now plays for the Chicago Bears. The couple has three children together.

Five Golden Globe Nominations for ‘Carol’ and a Nod to DiCaprio

LOS ANGELES — Leonardo DiCaprio, still chasing his first Oscar victory, edged closer to Hollywoods top laurels on Thursday, as he took a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “The Revenant,” a bloody frontier drama that was also nominated for best drama and best director.


Set in 1950s New York, a department-store clerk who dreams of a better life falls for an older, married woman.

Director: Todd Haynes
Writers: Phyllis Nagy (screenplay), Patricia Highsmith (novel)
Stars: Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Sarah Paulson
But the big winner in the movie categories was “Carol,” which took a nomination for best drama, along with a best director nomination for Todd Haynes, acting nominations for Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, and a nomination for best score. “The Big Short,” a late entry in the race, took nominations for two actors, Christian Bale and Steve Carell, for its script, and for best picture in the musical or comedy category.

They led the way for a small group of leading prize contenders that included “The Revenant,” from 20th Century Fox and New Regency; “The Martian,” also from Fox; “Joy,” yet another Fox film; and “Spotlight,” from Open Road Films.

Streaming services dominated the nominees for best television comedy, with series from Hulu, Amazon and Netflix picking up nominations, while HBO had its usual strong showing and ABC’s “American Crime” picked up several nods.

A best drama and a best director nomination for George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” brought that film out of the pack, toward the front of the seasonal contenders. “Room” likewise received a best drama nomination, a triumph for its small distributor, A24. Three nominations for “The Danish Girl,” including one for best actor for Eddie Redmayne’s transgender portrayal, keeps Universal’s Focus Features unit very much in the awards game, though it has put strong emphasis on commercial bets lately.

Best screenplay nominations went to “Room,” “Spotlight,” “The Big Short,” “Steve Jobs” and “The Hateful Eight.”

Best animated feature nominations went to “Anomalisa,” “The Good Dinosaur,” “Inside Out,” “The Peanuts Movie” and “Shaun the Sheep Movie.”

Notwithstanding David O. Russell’s “Joy,” a dramedy that stars Jennifer Lawrence as the inventor of the Miracle Mop, it so far has been a fairly joyless film season. Picture after picture has come up short — “Steve Jobs,” “Everest,” “Our Brand Is Crisis,” “Freeheld,” “Truth” and “Crimson Peak” were among the underperformers — leaving those who grant awards, including the Hollywood Foreign Press Association with its Globes, to close the enthusiasm gap.

Among smaller films, “Spotlight” has beaten the gloom. After well-received festival appearances in Venice; Telluride, Colo; and Toronto, the newspaper drama, about The Boston Globe’s investigation of child abuse and a Catholic Church cover-up, has done well in a relatively confined theatrical release, and now has a shot at the top Oscar.

On Wednesday, the closely watched Screen Actors Guild nominations shook up the awards race by ignoring supposed prize favorites like “Steve Jobs,” “Carol,” “The Revenant” and “Joy” in its closely watched best feature film ensemble category. Instead, nominations went to some less-expected contenders, including “Trumbo,” “Straight Outta Compton” and “The Big Short.”

In the Globe nominations, notable snubs were dealt to Johnny Depp, who had been considered a strong bet as best dramatic actor for “Black Mass,” a film that took no nominations. Steven Spielberg’s “Bridge of Spies” also had a disappointing showing, capturing only a nomination for Mark Rylance, as supporting actor.

None of the actors from “Spotlight” were nominated, though the film’s cast — which includes Liev Schreiber, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams and Michael Keaton — had just been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award.

Among the major studio films, Ridley Scott’s “The Martian,” a 3-D blockbuster starring Matt Damon as a kind of Robinson Crusoe on Mars, has been buoyed both by a strong audience response, and perhaps by a sense that Mr. Scott, like Mr. DiCaprio, is overdue for honors.

Neither has won an Oscar, and a victory for either at the Globes ceremony on Jan. 10 might point toward a good night at the Academy Awards, seven weeks later. (Mr. Scott has never won a Globe. Mr. DiCaprio was a winner in the best musical or comic actor category in 2014, for “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and in 2005 was the Globes’ best dramatic actor for “The Aviator,” but got no Oscar.)

In a sharp reversal of past patterns, Netflix, a relative upstart, captured eight television nominations, beating HBO, which had seven. Last year, HBO had 15 nods. Showtime also appears to have been dented by the streaming upstarts. It took just three nominations, down from nine last year.

The press association has worked hard in recent years to rid itself of a reputation for off-the-wall nominations designed more to populate the banquet with stars than honor the year’s best in film and television. Thursday’s list contained no outright embarrassments — as when Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie were nominated in 2011 for their work in the derided film “The Tourist” — but there were some quirks.

Even Mark Ruffalo had to be scratching his head over his nomination for best comedic actor for “Infinitely Polar Bear,” a tiny independent film, with $1.4 million in global ticket sales. “The Martian,” the serious story of a stranded astronaut, was nominated as a comedy. Despite giving “Steve Jobs” four nominations, voters could not find room for it among the 15 slots devoted to picture or director.

And the press association apparently really is done with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who hosted the ceremony for the last three years; their coming comedy “Sisters” got nothing, while “Spy” and “Trainwreck” each got a pair of mentions.

Thursday morning’s nominations announcement came barely a week after a mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., about 70 miles east of Beverly Hills. There was no mention of the attack. But an earlier mass attack in Paris had clouded festivities at the Governors Awards ceremony of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in November, where questions about propriety, sobriety and vulnerability were in the air.

The somber mood, if it holds, will add to the challenge for Ricky Gervais, the acid-tongued comic, who will return to host the Globes ceremony in January. World events aside, Mr. Gervais will be fronting a particularly somber set of films, many of them based on real stories with dark edges.

“Concussion,” for which Will Smith received a best dramatic actor nomination, is about brain injury in the National Football League. “Bridge of Spies” is about the legal defense of a captured Soviet spy in the Cold War. “Carol,” with its five nominations, is about a troubled marriage and a little-tolerated lesbian love affair in the 1950s.


Then there is “The Revenant,” which finds Mr. DiCaprio as the real-life frontiersman Hugh Glass, trekking through the high Rockies on a mission of vengeance that proves only a little shorter than Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight,” a three-hour Western, which took two nominations, including one for Jennifer Jason Leigh as supporting actress, and for its screenplay, by Mr. Tarantino.

A Drudge Report headline somewhat absurdly had it that Mr. DiCaprio’s character is raped by a mother bear in “The Revenant.” Mr. Tarantino’s film, for its part, has yet to contend with a boycott provoked by his remarks condemning police violence. The Weinstein Company, which will release “The Hateful Eight” on Christmas, has been uncharacteristically silent about the dispute. “I think that’s his issue, he’s his own person,” company co-chairman Bob Weinstein said in a recent interview.


Along with the usual roster of stars rooted in the movies, the banquet’s television tables will include a list of relative newcomers, many of whom were features in shows from streaming services like Hulu, Amazon and Netflix.

COMMENTS

The TV nominees include Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rami Malek, Viola Davis, Rob Lowe, Jamie Lee Curtis and Aziz Ansari.

As for film studios, Fox handily dominated the nominations, with a total of 15 for its contenders, which included not just “The Revenant,” “The Martian” and “Joy,” but another three for “Youth” and “Brooklyn.” Universal and the Weinstein Company followed, with eight nominations each.

Along with the more obvious snubs, several awards hopefuls found themselves out of the running, at least where the Globes are concerned. Those included “Truth” and “Suffragette,” both of which graced fall festivals and got early attention from awards handicappers, but received no notice from the Foreign Press Association.

Dubai Torch Tower fire 21 Feb 2015

So this tower didn't collapse by fire like WTC 7 did on 9/11 and WTC 7 was in fact brought down by demolition as Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth say - see
:
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth -video
Richard Gage talked about his group, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, which claimed that the World Trade Center was brought down by explosive demolition on September 11, 2001. The group was founded in 2006 and said its mission was to “expose the official lies and cover-up surrounding the events of September 11, 2001 in a way that inspires the people to overcome denial and understand the truth.” Mr. Gage spoke via video link from San Francisco, California.

ers in Dubai's Marina district, sending bright yellow flames several stories high, but there were no reports of casualties, civil defence officials said.
The fire broke out at about 2am on Saturday in the 86-storey Torch tower on the northeast end of the densely populated district, which is packed with multi-storey skyscrapers.
High winds whipped through the area and debris from the fire cluttered nearby streets after the blaze appeared to be extinguished.
The civil defence officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there were no reports of deaths or injuries.
The cause of the fire was not immediately clear.
The Marina area is home to dozens of towering apartment blocks and hotels, many of them built over the past decade. The apartments are popular with Dubai's large number of expatriate professionals.
Police blocked off areas around the 336 metre-high Torch tower, which still had power. Lights were on in many of the apartments inside and multiple fire trucks and police vehicles were on the scene.
Residents of at least one neighbouring tower were told to evacuate as a precaution because of strong winds, but they were later allowed back inside.
One witness said the fire started in the middle of the tower before spreading down, describing it as like "the Titanic going down". Flaming material falling from the initial fire then set a lower part of the building ablaze, witnesses said.

Torch tower resident Steve Short, 53, of Liverpool, England, praised the work of firefighters who arrived quickly. He said fire alarms alerted residents to the blaze and building management sent workers knocking on doors to ensure residents got out.
Resident RJ Morlock, 33, of Houston, shot video on his phone that showed bright yellow flames reaching what appeared to be several storeys on two separate parts of the building. He said residents were nervous coming out but fire crews were able to bring the situation under control.
"I was really surprised they got it under control pretty quickly," he said. "It looked like it was going to go up."
As daylight broke, residents waiting across the street to be allowed back home were able to see the extent of the blaze: External cladding on the corner of more than two dozen storeys from roughly the 50th floor to the top were mangled and charred black.
Cleanup crews dressed in orange uniforms swept up pieces of shattered glass and other debris covering the street outside the building.

Whiplash: Best Picture - Oscars 2015 - Andrew Miles Teller, Terrence Fletcher - J.K. Simmons

Haha, no, sorry. I'm at a state school in upstate New York because it's about all I can afford. But they have a good video production program, especially for the money. Hoping to end up somewhere someday, even though I'm not going to the world's greatest film school (whatever that may be - NYU or a UC school or whatever).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oh, a *State* school. No, you're not. I was referring to the Park School of Communications at Ithaca College. Fine video production program and a truly excellent conservatory. Apologies.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yeah, the school I go to has the #1 rated music program in the country, so I have lots of friends who are music majors that I need to get to see this with me.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Screamin' J.K. Simmons needs to be a meme, I feel there are endless possibilities for photoshopping that image of him into other images.

It would be easy for a character actor with a role that juicy—one that feels like an Oscar turn for a man who’s long overdue for such accolades—to go crazily over the top, to play him with expectorating, scenery-devouring excess. But Simmons brings an appropriately musical sense of precision to everything the character does, from the careful way he hangs up his hat and jacket upon entering a practice space to the staccato rhythms of his verbal tirades, which are so extreme and intricately worded that they’re liable to have audiences squirming in their seats as well. When Fletcher goes off, he doesn’t just seem mad at whatever hapless student happens to be disappointing him at the time. He seems enraged at the world in a way that threatens to shatter the fourth wall.

Simmons completely dominates Whiplash, but he isn’t its protagonist. That distinction belongs to Miles Teller as Andrew Neyman, a quiet young man of modest origins who has channeled all his energy and ambition into becoming one of the greatest drummers alive. Fletcher takes an interest in Andrew, but from the beginning, his mentorship has a harsh, even abusive edge. It’s unclear whether the rigor of practice sessions, rich in psychological torture and sweaty breakdowns, will push Andrew and his cohorts to greatness, or destroy them on a spiritual level.

Whiplash derives much of its thrilling unpredictability from its principled unwillingness to reveal what kind of movie it will ultimately be. Is it an unusually tense, dark, and profane example of the subgenre where a passionate but unconventional mentor leads his charges to greatness through exhausting but ultimately productive means? Or is it a grim dual character study about how the pursuit of greatness, when removed from any other considerations, including empathy and concern for other people, can transform people into monsters? At times, Whiplash suggests a dark riff on an early Tom Cruise movie, with Teller in the Cruise role of the obsessed hotshot committed to being the best in the world, and Simmons as the hardass mentor (think Robert Duvall in Days Of Thunder, Paul Newman in The Color Of Money, or Tom Skerritt in Top Gun) who pushes his protégés to heights they never imagined possible.

Gwyneth Paltrow Opens Up On Chris Martin Split, Says She 'Hit A Wall'

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin "consciously uncoupled" last March and the "Glee" actress has finally revealed what led to the decision.

In the the February 2015 issue of Marie Claire, which Paltrow covers, the 42-year-old actress revealed that at one point in her 11-year relationship with Martin she "sort of hit a wall." Paltrow told the magazine, "I had built my life on trying to be all things to all people, and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I really had the sense that I wasn’t allowed to have needs, and I had to prove my specialness or self-worth by doing all this stuff and taking care of everybody else."

The actress, who stars in "Mortdecai," said that the split wasn't dramatic though and that she and Martin are very close now. “We’ve worked really fucking hard to get to [this] point," she told Marie Claire. "I feel like it’s, in a way, the relationship we were meant to have.”
